The Haw Pond public school

TO CUTOUT TOBACCO
JOSEPH R. SMITH QUITS.
Big Farmer of Patrick County
Carries His Last Load of The 1
Narcotic To Market —Says There '
Is No Profit In It —A Strong Un- j
ion Man.
Mr. Joseph R. Smith, who
lives just over the line in Patrick
county, near Smith postoffice,
was a visitor at the Reporter
office yesterday. Mr. Smith
was on his way to Winston with
a couple of loads of tobacco and
he told us that it was the last he
ever intended to grow. His
reason for "cutting out" the
weed is that there is no profit in
it. Mr. Smith owns
four hundred acres of fine land
and has heretofore grown large
crops of tobacco, though he
always grows his own home sup
plies as wcl).
Mr. Smith is a strong Farmers'
Union man, and while he has
quit growing tobacco himself he
says he expects to do all in his
power to help those who do grow
it to get better prices.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE
YOUTH'S COMPANION.
We have had to make The
Youth's Companion larger to
get in all the good things that
Companion readers ought to
have. The added amount would
make four hundred pages of
standard magazine si2e and
print; but we have kept the
price just the same—sl.7s for
the fifty-two weeks of 1911.
We would like to tell you what
is in store for Companion read
ers during 1911. We cannot do
it here, though: there is not
room. But send us your address
on a postal card, and we will
send you the beautiful Pros
pectus of the Companion for
1911, announcing many new
features, together with sample
copies of the paper.
We think you will agree,
when you have read them, that
there is no other paper that
gives quite so much of such a
high quality as The Companion.
The new subscriber receives a
gift of The Companion's Art
Calendar for 1911, reproducing
in twelve color* and gold a
beautiful water-color garden

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED
by local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is
' entirely closed, deafness is the
J result, and unless the inflamma
j tion can be taken out and this
! tube restored to its normal con
-1 dition, hearing will be destroyed
i forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is
i nothing but an inflamed condi
! tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
'Dollars for any case of Deaf
ness (caused by catarrh) that
; cannot be cured by Hall's Catar
rh Cure. Send for circulars
free.

Take Hall's Family Pills for

When you have rheumatism in
your foot or instep apply Cham
berlain's Liniment and you will
get quick relief, It costs but a
quarter. Why suffer? For sale

Obituary.
Ila Bell Slate, daughter of
! James Slate, was laid to rest in
j Friendship cemetery on the 16th
1 inst. She was one year and 8
I days old. It was sad indeed for
these fond parents to part with
the dear daughter, but the hope
of meeting her again in the new -
I resurrected state cheers their!
[hearts. None but those who;
have given up their children can
realize how hard it is to tear
ourselves away from the cold
grave, never to see the little one
again on earth. May the Lord
comfort and bless the parents
and guide the surviving children,
so that there may be an undivi
ded family in Heaven.
