The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be ing a constitutional disease, re quires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in ternally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and / giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assiting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much kith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any ease that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address r. J. CHENEY & co., Toledo, O.

I am a tobacco farmer, in the bright tobacco belt of the world, the "Old County of Granville." Tobacco and saving corn forage do not work together, as they have to be harvested at the same season of the year, and bright tobacco is a crop that requires all a farmer's help and attention just at the right time, or it is al most a total loss. This crop comes off the latter part of August and September, right at fodder-pulling time, and the fod der crop is neglected, or put off saving until it is almost worth less. My plan is this (and I have succeeded wonderfully well at it): I take a field that I have cut the tobacco from, say the latter part of September, or any time in October is not too late. I take a turn plow, barside the stubble, and fallow just as for wheat. Give this a light dress ing of manure, or 200 to 400 pounds of fertilizer to the acre, lightly harrow in. This is im portant, because you want the roots to get it quick, in order to give it a good growth before cold weather sets in. I then take 20 pounds of annual clover seed, and one bushel of Burt oats for each acre. Sow this mixture to gether and harrow or brush in. The oats and clover come in at the same time and are easy to cut with a mowing machine, the oats holding up the clover. This crop comes in with us about the middle of May and gives us from three to five tons to the acre of the very best hay for all stock. After getting this crop off I fallow this same land and sow from 2to 2J bushels of cowpeas to the acre; these come in some time in September and can be picked and then the vines mow ed for hay. This system gives me three crops in about 16 months—one of them, the tobacco, a money crop, and two forage crops, clover and oats, and peavine hay. After harvesting the peas and vines, the land is left in fine condition for any other crop you choose to seed it in. I have followed this plan for a number of years and find it works to perfection. I have tried many other combin ations and successions, but have found nothing that will give the same returns for for time and investment as the above. Dillard. Dillard, July 18. Revs. Brendall and Ward are conduct ing a series of meetings here this week. Mesdames A. J. Essex and W. P. Wilson ,and children, of Madison, visited their parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Mitchell Sunday. Mrs. Emily Adkins, of Red Shoals, spent several days last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adkins, returned to her home Sunday. She was accompanied home by Miss Liz zie Adkins, who made a short visit to Mr. and Mrs. Adkins Sunday afternoon. Miss Alice Davidson aud Mrs. Belle Livingood, who have been at Greensboro, are visiting rel atives and friends here. Miss Allie Wells, of Bassett, Va., is visiting at the home of Mr. J. Ham Mitchell. Mr. Landon Duncan is smiling a good deal this week. 'Tis a boy at his home. Miss Willie Edmonds, of Win ston, who has been spending some time with her cousins here, the Misses Joyce, has gone to Piedmont for a visit of several weeks. / V. Misses Mary and Graoe Taylor spent some time at the springs the guests of friends tide week CONDITION OF CROPS Big Improvement During Last Two Weeks—Northern Part Of Coun ty Worst Sufferer From Drought —Corn Fine. The condition of crops in Stokes county has greatly im- ! proved during the last week or two, though in many sections rain is still badly needed. The northern part of the county is the "worst sufferer. The corn crop generally is extra fine, and as a large acreage intended for tobacco has been put in corn, the I consequence will be, with favor-: able seasons, something like a 33 1-3 per cent, increase in the corn yield, as compared with last year. Tobacco is doing well, but the general opinion is now that only one-half a crop will l>e made. By this is meant one-half of the acreage intended for this year, as the farmers had made unusually large preparations for a tobacco crop. Porbably as compared with last year, the crop will be something like 40 per cent, short. Hay is fair, oats a failure, potatoes a failure, garden truck very late and short. It has been the most unfavor able year for crops since ISBI, though when it is considered that the short crop of tobacco is bound to stimulate prices won derfully, and when the great crop of corn and the good crop of wheat are taken into consider ation, the farmer's condition next fall it is argued will not be far from normal. Meadows News. Miss Lizzie Stephens was taken suddenly ill last week with appendicitis and carried to Winston hospital for an opera tion. Her recovery was con sidered doubtful, but news was received Monday that she was improving. Mrs. A. M. Stack, of Monroe, and daughter, Miss Lillian, were visiting at Dr. J. W. Neal's last week. Mrs. Julius Young, of Thomas ville, Ga., is visiting at Mr. J. N. Young's. Mrs. J. W. Neal and daugh ter, Thelma, are spending a few days at Norfolk and Rich monk this week. Mrs. C. E. Neal has just re turned from a visit to friends at Winston. Miss Carrie Fulton, of Greens boro, are visiting relatives at Meadows. An ice cream supper was given at Mr. W. P. Sands' Satur day night in honor of some guests from Winston. Under the new tax assess ment, the taxable property of Stokes county reaches in round numbers, $4,000,000. The in crease amounted to about $550,- 000. The new tax levy, by rea son of the increased property, and on account of the special taxes for jail and court house bonds having been paid, will be 71 2-3 on property and $2.15 on poll. The county is still in debt about $7,000 for bridges. WILL HELP FARMERS In Establishing Experimental Farms —Letter From State Agronomist With an Agreement to be Signed. The following letter from [ State Agronomist Burgess ex- 1 plains itself : We are aware that the local press takes great interest in the welfare of the farmers, in deed, that the interest of the two are at many points iden tical. The leading function of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture is not its police work, but that of producing agricultural wealth among the farmers of the State. With this in view, we are establish ing in each county a number ofi local experimental farms, on each public road leading into the county seat on which sim ple but vital experiments are conducted in plain view of ev ery passer-by. This local ex perimental work is planned with a view to arousing interest on the part of the farmer in the study of his own local con- j ditions of crop production. In ' this way we hope to aid the j farmers in each county to in- j crease their crop yields and i thus enable the State to grow at home the millions of dollars worth of food supplies which are now annually shipped into the State from outside sources, j We are enclosing a copy of our contract which will show the object and indicate the! scope of the work. From now on we shall desire to reach the farmers of your, county through your paper and with your permission, will offer you from time to time for pub | lication, short articles on our work as it progresses in your county and on other agricultur al subjects of interest to your subscribers. Very truly yours, J. L. BURGESS, Agronomist. Those desiring to take part in the work should sign the following agreement and for ward to Mr. Burgess, of the State Department of Agricul ture : AGREEMENT. For the purpose of securing for myself and my neighbors a more exact knowledge of the relationship existing between the soils and crops of my local ity, and to gain a more com plete mastery of the factors that govern successful farming in my community, and in con sideration of receiving from the North CaVolina Department of Agriculture all seed, fertilizer, and instructions necessary thereto, I hereby agree to con duct certain experiments relat ing to the above, as directed by the State Department of Agri culture, and to keep a careful record of all items of expense as outlined in the instructions given : Provided, that I shall receive all returns from the crops grown during the time these experiments are in opera tion. Name Postoffice County LOCAL ITEMS. Hon. C. B. Watson, of Winston, is expected at Piedmont to day. Mr. B' J. Savage and family, of Germanton, and Sheriff C. M. Jones and family, of Danbury, are spending some time at Pied mont Springs hotel. Mr. P. C. Sheppard killed a large rattle snake in the road between Danbury and Piedmont last Sunday. The bridge across Dan river at Clemmons ford is under con tract to be completed by Septem ber 1. f The postoffice at Piedmont Springs has not yet been estab lished, though application was made for it in March or April. Probably the finest crops in the county are between Walnut Cove and Germanton. Those Town Fork bottoms are doing business this time. Corn and tobti #> both are splendid. D. Wick Gordon. D. Wick Gordon was born September 29th, 1875, died July 6th, 1911, aged 37 years, 9 months and 7 days. He was afflicted with erysiplas for about two months, and was taken to the St. Leo Hospital 'at Greens boro for treatment where he spent the most of his time dur ing his illness. All that could be done by a kind and affection ate brother, a good doctor and faithful nurses was done, but it pleased the Lord to take him from earth. He was married February 2nd, 1898, to Miss Lillie Covington. To this un ion was born eight children, seven daughters and one son. The son was still born. He leaves a wife, seven children, and an aged mother, one broth er, I. M. Gordon, of Statesville, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn the loss. He was a loving husband, a true father and was a man that was honest, truthful, faithful, and was just in all his dealings with his fellow man. He professed personal faith in Christ at about 18 years of age, and was baptis ed by Rev. H. L. Adkins into the M. E. church and lived a consistent christian life unto the | end. Naturally he wanted to j get well and return to his family and home, but was resigned to the Lord's will. We can not see why he should be taken just in his prime of life, and in the midst of his usefulness in his family, in his community and country, hut doubtless all will be made plain in time to come. Afflictions are blessings in disguise. "Now we see through a glass darkly." The funeral services was con ducted from the home by Elders | Richardson and his pastor, Mor ton, his wife's pastor ahd the ! writer. The brethren of the Farmers' Union then took charge of the remains and buried it in the family cemetery near the home. The large assembly of relatives, friends and ac quaintances who gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to his name and character was in evidence of the esteem in which he was held. The family have the sympathy of the entire community. May the Lord bless and guide each one through life and may it be an undivided family in heaven. 1000 Gallons Berries Wanted at 7 cents Per Gallon.
