The County Commissioners met in extra session Monday for the purpose of making out a statement of expen ses for public road work. This ex hibit was made in condensed form and will be published.

Give Your Stomach Rest. Xothing will cure indigestion that doesn't digest the food itself, and give the stomach rest. You can't expect that a weak stoinarh will regain its strength and get well when it v ro til tolled to do the full work that asound stomach should do. lou wouldn t expect a sick horse to get well wlieu it is compelled to ilo a full day's work every day of the week Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a perfect digestant and digests the food regardless of thecondi tion of your stomach.

The marriage of Mr. John Buchan and Miss Gertie Best was solemnized at Brookston Chapel, Tuesdav. Dec. 12, at 8 p. in., the Rev. J. II Ilenderlite, pastor of the Henderson Presbyterian church, officiating. The church was leautifully decorated with vines and evergreens and potted plants for the occasion, and present ed a most attractive appearance There was tin uncommonly large as serablage of relatives and friends present, the church being crowded to its utmost capacitv. Miss Willie Buchan presided tit the organ. Messrs. Ilenrv Satterwhite and Badge Harris were the ushers. Miss Blanch Mabry, cousin of the bride, was maid of honor, and Mr. Sam Reavis the groom's best man. The two little daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. 11. llolloman were flower uirls. The groom is the son of Mr. Charles Buchan and is one of the most ener getic and popular young farmers of the county. The bride is the daughter of Mrs R. D. Best and has a wide family connection throughout the count v She is one of the prettiest and most popular young lHdies of Grevstone. The young couple will make their uuiiic nun i-ue urine s itioiner. HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS? Do You Fear Consumption? When we take into consideration the fact that one out of every seven in this climate die of consumption, is it any wonder that it is feared bv the people of uenaerson who nave weak lungs and chronic colds and coutrhs? A famous Loudon physician has for years urged bis patients, when the Blight eat tendency to consumption anneared to take the best cod liver preparation they could find, and nhvsicians pverr- where have recognized that the cod's liver contains curative vaIupb for cmo-ha colds, bronchitis, consumption and all wasting diseases unequaled in med'eine. but, unfortunately, few could take and derive any benefit from old-fashined rod liver oil and emulsions on account of the indigestible grease which it contains. Our local druggist, W. Y. Parker, says he wants every person in Henderson to know the value of the new cod liver preparation, Vinol. It actually contains in a concentrated form all of the strength ening body-buildingelements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' livers, without a drop of oil or grease to upset the stomach and retard its work. Therefore, where old-fashioned cod liver oil or t-mulsions would do no eood. Vinol would do far moregood. We guar- bet for the murder of the English lan antee mol will improve the appetite, c-uacro strengthen digestion, make rich, red blood, create strength, cure chronic colds and coughs and strengthen weak lungs. If Vinol fails to give satisfaction, we re turn your money without question. W. W.

John Randolph the celebrated ir- ginia statesman, died May 24th, 1833, and emancipated his slaves by his will. A letter from James Martin ot btokes, who was a dated States soldier at the battle of Guilford Court House describ ing the battle. He was 'Jl years old at the date of the letter, May, 18.J.5. 1 here was powerful agitation looking to arneudinir the constitution. Each of the 04 counties (J3 counties have been created since) had 2 representatives and a senator in tne legislature and nearly half the counties did not pay enough tax to pay the salaries of their own mem bers in the general assembly. Ihe whole white population was 472,000. The ex pense of the State government was then tfNO.OOO ier year. It is to be noted that while the white population has increased fourfold in the 72 years since the expen nas of the State erovernment have in creased thirty-fold. The custom was for members ot the legislature to publish a circular soon after it adjourned giving their attitude on public questions. Commenting on the account oi himself given by one Mould er of Johnson county, the editor says: The Eastern part of the State is divided into an almost innumerable sound of cow pen counties which do not pay tax enough to compensate theiruwn members for sitting in the legislature nnd voting against every measure, etc., and yet these penniless scoun drels who come from the frog ponds of the east will unblushiiiKl.v promulgate it to the world that because the west wanted power :o save the Mate from bankruptcy it shall not. be given them. The soul of such a man is .1 oMia f i Moulder might be put in a nut shell and then have "rooms to let The subject most discussed is "'Old Hickory" and his withdrawal of the de posits from the United States bank and placing them in the State banks. Great indignation prevailed. He protested to the Senate that it had no right to cnti ciHe him for it, upon which the comment runs thus: Andrew .Tncksou is not content to become tnrough the shameful connivance of the peo pie one of the most rash, reckless, bold and corrupt tyrants in the world: but he has now set about stopping the mouths of all who may dare to oppose a barrier to his desolat ing prugHMS. He has even had the lmpu- louce for which, old as he is, he deserves to be taken into the henate Chamber nnd held by the nose till each seuator should slap his chops and spit in his face! we say he has even gone so far as to coujure up among the magicians of that slimy emporium, imperti nence enough to send a 10 column protest to the Senate disclaiming any right on thei part even to enqire into his official acts. He has not only seized upon the entire treasure of the nation, scattered part of it anions: in solvent, broke, breaking anil partizan banks; but now seeks to denounce the Senate for even during to nsk him why he did so. This miserable production exhibits the President in the light of the most besotted, imperti- . , . i , . urui ttmi i.vmmiii ai iooi in existence. This reminds one of the source from which Roosevelt is said to have "got" his meanness. "Not from his sweet and sainted Southern mother," sezee, " but from his old Dutch daddy." The Jack son members of Comrress were called "Collar Members." Bankruptcy was the talk or the time, and such depression we ot this day and tune never saw A committee with a numerously sinned petition called on "Old Hickory," who is reported to have said this to them: "In the name of God. Sir, what do the peo ple hope to gain by sending their me morials here.' If they send ten thousand of them signed by the men, women and children and bearing the names from all the grave stones, I will not relax a uarti cle from my position." Almost all kinds of questions are dis cussed in its pages. One article sets forth the number of iieople who have lived on the earth and demonstrates that there had then been five for every square foot oi lanci in the earth s surface David L. Swain was governor. Judge oaager ami isediord 15rown Senators Cholera was raging in many parts of the united orates anu Mexico. The building of a railroad from Roanoke to Favette ville was continually written of; but there was not a foot of railroad in the State nor a telegraph nor a telephone nor an electric light nor a street car nor a sew ing machine nor a match nor a tomato nor any flue-cured tobacco. Neitner Abe Lincoln nor Cleveland nor McKinley had ever been heard of, nor Teddy Roosevelt. Grandpa Davis is the only statesmeu of this time who flourished then. Rut strange to say there is an account of a cotton seed oil mill in full operation, reciting the value of the meal and hulls as well as the oil. Wonder why it fell into disuse to he revived in our time? A Mr. Henry Humphrey was then building a cotton mill in Greensboro and the edi tor frequently called attention to the prosperity of New England arising out of its manufacturing industries and the impoverishment of the South caused bv the lack of it. And the way h "gave'' it to the Nullificationists of S6uth Caro lina "is a caution." A letter from Salisbury giving an ac count of the election of 1833, says: God forbid that yon should have 6een as much rascality carried on in vour countv as we had in this borough and old Rowan. They stole free white men and locked them up with as httle ceremony as tbev would kidnap or capture a negro upon the coast of Africa. They bribed, bought votes whenever they could find them for sale and treated with whiskey as Jong as a drop could be found. They beat Burt Craige in the borough, but tliey cut Hammy Jones in the countv, and elected full teams of Nullifies Since then we have had nothing but bv-talk about dueling pistols, broad Bwords, corn-cobs, pop-guns and squirts. A letter from a candidate for office couched in bad spelling evoked the edi torial comment that the writer ought to ue muiciea ana tried by the entire alpha- ca e It quotes from a New York newspaper which.after insisting that his subscribers pay up, says: Men who think printers can live on air de serve themselves to live on skunk cabbage tea flavored with assalaetida.

All through the volume are arguments against slavery, in favor of education and DubJic improvements by taxation and very cogent and forceful reasoning against imprisonment for debt which was allowed in North Carolina until the Constitution i f 1868 abolished it. Its advoeacv of temperance is forceful and intelligent. In one place he tells of'a harkeener who kicked two men out wno were drunk and quarrelling, saying as ne . ... . , did so "that he would bed d nnewouio have a .lackson Congress in his house.

Advertisements in the paper are scarce No automobiles or bi- vcles or safety razors or stoves or patent medicines but only a few legal notices, runaway ne groes, a coah maker or two and a stage coach line. This latter proposes to car ry people to Bellfield, Va., by coach where they can take the cars and go to Petersburg from Greensboro in 35 hours, to Richmond in 38 hours, to .Philadel phia in CG and New York in 76 hours 'almost equal to flying.

He tells of the prevalence of rabbits and how tired a schoolteacher boarding with one of his patrons grew, of living on rab bit. He was much bored also by having to "'say grace" twice a day. One day he hinted his feelings with the following for "grace." Rabbits good, rabbits mean. Rabbits fat, rabbits lean, Rabbits young, rabbits old, Rabbits hot, rabbits cold. Rabbits tender, rabbits tough. We thank thee Lord, we've had enough. There is throughout the volume most excellent reading matter and agteatdeal of it. The editor was a most ardent Whig, was bitterly opposod to slavery and wrote and quoted against it often. He earnestly opposed imprisonment for debt; he published many addresses to the people of the State from the states men of the time. There are long columns of law for the edification of the people, rules of success for business men to follow, rules for health one being to cure a love sick young lady with a sore throat, for which he prescribes "a shirt sleeve with an arm in it put around the neck at night." The last page of the last issue of the volume contains an advertisement of a lottery for the benefit of the Salisbury Academy to be drawn July 10, 1834, and an advertisement: "For sale, six likely negroes one man, one boy nearly grown, a young negro woman and three likely children belouging to the estate of Thomas Wright, deceased, the right to which have for several years been pend ing the court of equity. No dispute now about the title." The names of statesmen and politicians most frequently mentioned in its columns are Gaston, Pearson, Badger, Graham, Mangum, Haywood and Swain.

Experience has shown that the prime requisites of a really Good Beer are three in number superiority of the materials treatment in the brewing and proper maturing or ageing before market ng. Perhaps first of importance is the nature and character of the materials used. The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass n, whose product, UUDWMbh.lt, has come to be considered as a standard from which Beer-Quality is to be judged, have found that materials of the very highest quality only can be used, if real ly Good Beer is to result. They have found also, that of all materials permis sible in brewing, only the best quality Barley-Malt, the choicest grade of Hoiw, superior quality Yeast, with perhaps a small percentage of the best Rice can be depended upon to produce a Beer of the highest degree of quality, flavor and palatability. This Association confirms what is gen erally admitted among brewers that to produce a Beer of excellence, expensive modern methods of brewing must be lol lowed and the most rigid sanitary pre cautions observed at all stages. Clean liness, Purity and careful Sterilization are considered vitally essential by them in common with all good brewers. Anheuser-Busch also contend that the exquisite flavor and acknowledged heal thf illness of Budweiser is to be at tributed to a great extent, to their ex treme care in maturing and ageing. Their storage capacity of 600,000 bar rels makes it unnecessary for them to market their product until properly aged, and in consequence it possesses to the greatest degree the quality, mellow ness and flavor which has caused Bud weiser to be termed by those who know, "The King of Bottled Beers."
