CHRISTMAS AT VADE MECUM
A Lovely Tim*--Mr. Scales Boaze
Home From West Virginia.
Vade Mecum, Dee. 30.—Mr.
Henry George is visiting bis fath
er, Mr. J, B. George. He has
served three years in the United
States Army, but says be intends
to make Winston-Salem his future
home.
Quite a large crowd visited at
Mr. S. E, Simmons' to-day, and
seemed to talk about the West. 1
But I think there is no place like
home. My advioe to all young
men is to stay at home on tbe
farm. I have heard people aay
go West was all yon had to do to
get rich, bnt I will tell you, young
men, you won't find it that way, 1
but you will find that yon will
work for It before you get it and
hard at that. It you will'work on
the farm like you would, to hire,
you can get rich farming.
WELL WISHER. i

The celebrated authoress, so
highly esteemed by the women of
America, say* on page 103 and 445
of her popular work, "Eve'»
Daughters; or, Common Sense for
Maid, Wife and Motuer:" "For
the aohing back —should it be slow
in recovering it« normal strength
—an Alloock's Plaster is an ex
oellentcomforter, combining tin
sensation of the sustained press
are of c strong wsrm hand with
otttain tonic qualities developed
in the wearing. It should be kept
over the seat of uneasiness for
several days—in obstin >te cases,
for perhaps • fortnight."
"For pain in the back wear an
Alloock's Plaster constantly, re
newing as it wears off. This isan
invaluable support when the
weight on the small of the back
becomes heavy and the aching in
oeseant.
