Oak Grove, Sept 18. The
farmers are now being visited by
the fertilizer agents and are lay
ing in their orders preparatory
for another wheat crop.
We can hear the sound of the
huntsman's bugle at night which
is a warning to the opposum who
dweTTs in the forest, to be very
careful not to venture too far
from his home lest he should be
captured.
Look out for frost about the
first old moon.
The public shools will soon be
gin and we should all try to start
our children as soon as the school j
begins. We should all remem
ber that education is needed in
all occupations in life.
Miss Dora Eaton, daughter of
Mr. F. M. Eaton, on Pinnacle
Route 2, is very low with con
sumption.
Mr. C. H. Lunsford, of King
Route 2, attended the county
at Galax, Va., last week.
Mr. I. B. Gentry, of King
Route 2, came very near losing
a barn of tobacco by fire one day j
last week.
Miss Rozella Boyles, daughter
of Mr. C. C. Boyles, on Pinnacle
Route, was bitten by a copper
head one day last week while
working in tobacco, but we are
glad to know that she is doing
fine now.
, Mrs. Nealy Webster is on the
sick list this week.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gentry

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED. i
I
by local applications, as they!
cannot recn the diseased por-j
tion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and I
that is by constitutional reme-!
dies. Deafness is caused by an ;
inflamed condition of the!
mucous lining of the Eustachian'
Tube. When this tube is in- •
flamed you have a rumbling;
sound or imperfect hearing, and,
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result; and unless the
inflamation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will destroyed
.forever; nine cases out of ten
MB aused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surface.
We will give one Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Comfort of Home Makes for Happi
ness and Success
Did you ever think. Mr. Far
mer, that all your planning and
working and saving, your efforts
to raise large crops and acquire
more money, have for their one
great aim the making of a bet
ter, a more attractive, a cheer
fuler, a happier home ? asks
the Progressive Farmer. For
this, after all, you plow and sow
and reap, that you and your
wife and your children may have
a better place in which to live
may find in it more of
beauty and brightness.and com
fort.
There may be some folks who
wish to acquire property for the
mere sake of possession—simply
to have and to hold and feel
that it is theirs; but we do not
believe that many of our readers
belong to this class. We think
instead that mV>st of you who
read this, while you fully ap
preciate our efforts to help you
make more money, realize that
if the money thus madf does not
contribute to the comfort and
well-being of those you love it is
j after all worth very little to you.
! The home is the great thing,
and a poor home and a good
j farmer do not go together,
i This is why we urge each and
every one of you to add to his
home just -Jis much of beauty
and convenience as is possible.
It is only justice to your wife
that she have just as many helps
toward making her work indoors
easy and pleasant as you have in
doing your work on the farm.
It is no more than the absolute
; right of your children to grow
jup under the most favorable
! conditions and among the most
healthful and inspiring surround
ings which you are able to pro
vide for them. And it is not
more than you owe yourself
that you make your home a
place to which you are always
glad to go, one attractive to the
eye, restful to the body, inspir
ing to the mind and comforting
to the heart.
This is the sort of home which
we believe every one of our
readers is entitled to and which
j all might have. Of course, none
j of you can have things just as he
j would; but we believe you will
j find it a money-making propos
ition as well as a source of the
[deepest and truest satisfaction
to have your house painted; to
make the grounds about it just
as attractive as your means and J
time will allow; to see that the
surrounding are healthful; to
provide your wife the labor-sav
ing equipment she needs and
save her just as much work as
possible; to put in as soon as you
can a water supply and bath
room; to spend a little for books
and pictures and music and
handsome serviceable furnirute.
We believe, let us repeat, that it
will pay you, merely as a finan
cial proposition, to do these
things; but even if it does not
you should do them just the
same, for is this not after all,
what you are trying to make
money for ?—Selected.

A WATER SYSTEM
BEING AGITATED FOR DANBURY
Question of Bringing Water To
Village From A Bold Spring On
North Side of Mountain Being
Discussed By Citiiens.
The question of installing a
water system in Danbury is be
ing agitated by some of our
citizens.
About one and a half miles
west of town on the north side
of the mountain and at an eleva
tion of 150 or 200 feet there is
an unusually bold spring, and the
woric of bringing this water to
the village would be a compara
tively easy matter.
To the progressive citizen who
will bring this water here it
will mean a good per cent, of
interest on the money invested
and to the residents of the
village it will mean the. greatest
convenience and luxury that
they could possibly have. The
county would of course install
water in the court house and
jail, where it is very much
needed, and almost or quite
every family, both white and
colored, would use the water.
Another good feature of this
water supply would be the fire
protection it would afford. The
pressure would be sufficient to
throw a stream of water much
higher than any building in
town...

Rights of the Autr>«»"• , ■••
, xjnwqvi J
Some of the au .„..c loiks
complain that in traveling the
public highways, decently and in
order, in the peace of God and
the state, they are not infrequ
ently held by teamsters who hold
the middle of the road and refuse
to permit them to pass, and the
automobile man is thus delayed
and inconvenienced where the
road is not wide enough for him
to get around the team. In view
of these circumstances and con
ditions the automobile folks ask
the Landmark to print Section 14
of the state automobile law,
which is as follows:
Section 14. If a vehicle drawn
iby a horse or horses or other
j draft animals or a motor vehicle
lbe overtaken by any motor ve
j hide, and the person in charge
of such motor vehicle expresses
; a desire to pass, it shall be the
| duty of the driver of any vehicle
or motor vehicle so overtaken as
aforesaid to turn either to the
right or to the left of the center
of the wrought or traveled por
tion of the highway and give the
person so making the request an
opportunity to pass ; but, in pass
ing, the person in charge of such j
motor vehicle and other male oc-
I cupants thereof over the age of
; fifteen years shall give such as
sistance as they are able to the
occupant or occupants of the
vehicle they are passing if as
sistance is asked, and in thus'
passing the chauffeurs, drivers;
or operators shall use all due care
to avoid accidents."
Having never failed aforetime \
to say what it thought of auto-1
i mobile drivers who disregard the'
rights of others, the Landmark j
is willing to print the law to j
show that these people have!
some rights in the premises. Of j
course the teamsters who refuse
to give the road have more than
likely been irritated by the smart
automobile drivers who dash
up behind them and blow for
them to get out of the way in a
form and manner which intim
ates that the teamster has no
business there and is a trespass
er on the track. It just natural
ly riles a man for somebody to
run up behind him and peremp
torily order him to get out of the
way. There is a proper way to
do these things and all automo
bile owners should not be made
to suffer because a few play
smart.
Teamsters should remember,
too, that automobiles have the
same right to the road as any
other vehicle and they are not
excusable for acting ugly or
violating the law because a few
automobile drivers show an utter
lack of good sense and good man
ners— Statesville Landmark.
