It cured me of asthma six years

bottle ended the terrible cough,
and this accomplished, the other
symptoms left one by one until
she was perfectly well. Dr. King's
New Discovery's power over
coughs and colds is simply mar
velous." No other remedy has
ever equaled it. Fully guaranteed

When you pay your bills by
check you have these advantages :
1. It is more business-like and
gives others a more honorable iiu
pressiou of your business abilities
and methods.
2. It often saves you money, as
for instance when you pay a bill
or debt by giviug your check, the
person who receives the check
must put his name on the back of
the check before he can get the
money on it. This operates as a
receipt in law. Every farmer or
anybody who pays out money
should always do so by check.
There are other banks larger
than the Bank of Stokes County.
But the statement of the Bank of
Stokes will compare favorably
with any bank in the state. Some
banks with capital stocks of hun
dreds of thousands, and big sur
plus funds, also have liabilities
reaching up into the hundreds of
thousands. The safest bank is the
bank having the largest clear as
sets in proportion to its liabilities.

DEATH OF MRS. JESSE BEASLEY.
I Farmers Besinning To Plant Tobacco
—Plants Not Doing Well—Some
Other Items.
Big Creek, May 27.—The farm
ers in this section are beginning
to plant tobacco but owing to the
cool dry weather it's not doing very
well. In all probability the crop |
will be at least one T third short if
it is seasonable from now on.
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Wright, of
Mt. Airy, visited friends and rel
atives in this section and attended
the Association at Big Creek.
Mr. Johnnie Frans has returned
from Danbury, where he has been
going to school.
Mr. J. H. Wright says the wild
onions are about to lake his plant
ation. He says he pulled up a lot
the other day and several of them
weighed a pound a piece. •
I saw in the Reporter where
"1861' 'come again in reply to Mr.
Oliver, but doubtless he failed to
convince Mr. Oliver that he was
wrong. In my estimation, we need
more such men as Brother Oliver,
in both political parties. I mean
by this men who put principles
above party, who will make a bold
stand for what is right and who
will not follow wrong for party
sake. Come again, Bro. Oliver,
"truth crushed to earth will rise
again."
It is with profound sorrow we
chronicle the death of Mrs. Jesse
Beasley, who died at her home the
past week of the dreaded disease
consumption. The deceased had
been confined to her bed for some
time, and the end was not a sur
prise to her many friends and rel
atives. She was 3'.l years of age,
and was not a member of any
church but professed her hope be
fore she died and said she wanted
to join the church and be bap
tized.
The funeral services were con
ducted by Revs. Barnard, Stono
and Pyrtle, after which the re
mains were laid in the silent
i tomb to await the resurrection.
