Conover News.
Conover has lost one of its
best young men, in the death of
Robert L. Hunsueker, son of
Nelson Hunsueker. His pastor,
Rev. Milton Whitener and Dr. J
C. Clapp conducted the funeral
services, which were attended
by a multitude of the kin and
friends of the deceased.
August 22, the birthday of
Mrs. Diana Yount was celebrat
ed by a great family reunion.
Besides her brothers and sisters
and her children, there were a
number of her grand-children
present. Her pastor, Rev. Paul
Bischoff and her daughter's son,
Rev. J. F. Yount, of Akron,
Ohio, took part in the festivities.
About one hundred of the rela
tives cut watermelons and shared
in friendly intercourse. Her
nephew, Hon. Marshall Yount,
of Hickory, was there. We hope
his solid worth will secure ior
him a large majority in the com
ing election. We want him in
the busy days of our next legis
lature.
Mr. Wade Smith, son of Mr.
Elmore Smith, one of our lead
ing farmers, and Miss Vertie,
daughter of Mr. P. E, Isenhow
er.one of our leading merchants,
were married last week.

Habit-forming Medicines.
Whatever aajr be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines cop
taining injurious mgrodients as broadly
fjuUish£d iu some journals of more or
eti initio nee. this publicity haB'eertainly
been of -great beneiit in arousinit needed
attention to this subject, It has, In a
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
Ssctcd of containing the injurious mgre
ents complained of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of BulTaio,
N. Y., "took time by the forelock," as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi
cines are composed. Thus nc has com
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
nil opposition that might otherwise be
urgea against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWS COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicine* contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots of
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of "our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em
ploys chemically pure, triple-refined
glycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy In many cases of chronic diseases,
being a suporior demulcent, antiseptic,
antifcrment and supporting nutritive.
It enhances the curative action of the
Goldwi Seal loot. Stone root, Black
Cherrybark and Bioodr>>ot, contained iu
"Golden Medical Discovery." in all bron
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. As Will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coe, of New York; Bnrtholow. of Jeffer
son Medical College, Phila.; Scuddcr, of
Cincinnati; Ellfhgwood, of Chicago;
Ualo, of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools of
practice, the foregoing agents are the
veni he*t ingredients that Dr. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his fa
mous ** Discovery" for the cure of noi
only bronchial, throat and lung affec
tions, but also of chronic catarrh in ah
'ts various forms wherever located.

Any Paint Man
! will tell you that no
TRggL paint is any better
*O3 than the oil that's
K3 mixed into it—not
with it, but more
jpßyi* than that— into it.
Ja that he means
that the paint will
not stay on the sur
g face it's applied to
v any longer than the
oil in it holds out.
"Dead oil dead
paint." The deadest
way to get the dead
tSSol est paint, because
the oil in it can't
W9) .help but be the dead
est, is to get paint that's "ready
mixed." "Ready mired" is another
way of saying "Already used up," be
cause the oil m the ready mixed paint
was, of course, put there the day the
paint teas canned. When that was no
body can say . And all the time the
can was in the factory, and in the
freight car, and on the dealer's shelves,
the lead—and, possibly rinc, mixture,
if it's a well mixed paint—was eating
the life out of the on. It's wine, anq
not paint that improves with age. And
properly to mix lead and zinc, turpen
tine and all the other ingredients, BO
M to be sure of the freshness and
Strength of your linseed oil, is too great
a task for the householder—and even
for the up-to-date painter. What to do
then? Get a paint that is in a con*
densed form—with all the right things
ground into it by machinery, but with ,
' the pure raw linseed oil left out for
you to put in. That paint t« HAM.
MAR paint—the paint you're sure of |
—the paint that is all -paint. The enly '
paint that is guaranteed to wear for
fire years. Come in and talk it over
before you paint. Too not only get the
