The fall term of Concordia Col

twenty-five students. Seven of
these are young ladies, while j
most are preparing for the office i

After a short time shut down,
the handle factory of Mr. J. Hun
sucker is running as usual.
On last Saturday there was a
gathering of the Hunsucker
families and connections, held in
the grove at Jonas Hunsucker's
residence. Addresses were made
by the Revs. J. M. Smith, Dr. J.
C. Clapp and C. E. Wehler. Hon.
M. H. Yount also addressed the
assembly. Members of the
Freurdschaft were here from va
rious parts of the county. All
seemed to enjoy the occasion.
We have recentlv had six cases
of fever in our village, but none
thus far of a serious nature.
Miss Christiana Wagner is suf
fering from eczema, an old af
fliction. Most of us are well and
at work.
Little is said among us on po
litical subjects. Capt. Philip W.
Carpenter is our Democratic
chairman. He can tell a good
reason for voting with the Dem
ocrats, if any one chooses to ask
him.
We hope the city of Hickory
will gain just rights as to the
location of the railway depots.
The railways are useful, as the
horse is a useful animal. But
we do not want the horse in the
parlor, nor the railway where it
will hinder business, -comfort
and safety. The railroad comes
by permission through the coun
try and the town. It should not
be like the camel which the man
in compassion permitted to put
his nose in at his shop door.
A small Kansas boy was once called
in to view his new born baby brother.
He looked it over with dissatisfaction,
and finally asked: "Mamma, where did
fhis thing come from?" "and angel
brought it Jitffmie." "Wus you awake
when he came?" "Certainly, Jimmie.
"Well then, mamma, all that I have
got to say, is that you are dead easy.
I'd like to see any old angel put off such
a looking thing on me. But I reckon we
are stuck anless I kin work Johnny G e
en to trade it sight-unseen for ox.e of
his rootled pups."

We are pleased to note an increasing
I des're on the part of our readers, to
secure at the firet possible moment a
copy of this paper and some call at the
office and get a copy as it falls fresh

by notifying us of the death, marriage
or important transactions in which any

When the sun shine and the streets
become dustv, you wish it would rain;
when it rains and the streets become
muddy you wish the sun would shine.
After you are married wish you was
single, and if you get a new dress you
wish you had a new hat to match it; if
it is a boy you wish it was a girl, and if
it is a girl you wish it was a boy— was
human nature ever satissied? Guess
not, and glad of it, for then ti-re would
be nothing to "kick" about.
We will offer a little free advice to
the young men and yDung ladies who
read th!s paper. Never mary untill yoo
are certain that single life is a failure
and under no circumstances marrv un
til you fiftd someone who will have you.
Be sure you are right, then go ahead.
Boys remember that a girl rigged in rib

> Democratic disatisfaction with Mr.
; Bryan's government ownership proposit
; ion is not abating. Republican polit
l icans and Republican newspapers all
• over the country have taken the ground
; that, as the prospective candidate of his
t pirty for the Presidency, endorsed in
; advance by numerous conventions, Mr.
Bryan has committed his party to the
.goverment ownership doctrine and it is
L being treated by them in the present
• Congressional campaign as though it
, had been accepted by a Democratic
I Convention. Many Democrats regard
1 this as unfortunate and they believe that
: the effect of this misrepresentation has
. already been shown by the Maine elec
: tion where, according to the Chairman
. of the Democratic State Committee
1 victory for the State ticket and the elec
: t'.on cf one Or two Democratic Congres
' smen were assured until Mr. Bryan
f made his speech in Madison Square
Garden.

A newspaper is in no sense a child of
charity. Ii earns twice over every dol
lar it receives, and it is second to no
enterprise in contributing to the up
building of a community. Its patrons
eap far more from its pages
than its publishers, and in calling for
the support of the community in witch
it is published, it asks for no more than
in all fairness belongs to it, though gea-
jrally it receives less. Patronize and
help your paper as you would any other
enterprise because it helps you, and not
1 as an act of charity.

A Judges's Decision
On Tobacco.
A Judge of the Carolina Courts, who
is evidently a good judge of tobacco
as well as law, wrote recently that he
had been using sun dured tobacco for
forty years, but in all his experience
had found none so good as REY
NOLDS', which w»s fiist offered to the
trade four yeara ago. Previous to that
ttme chewer after chewer of tobaccos
j made too sweet, took to Schnapps and
other brands of flue-cured (which re
quired and had less sweetening than
any other class of tobacco produced,)
until there were ten times more pounds
chewed of Schnapps and other brands
of flue-cured tobaccos than the entir
production of sun cured. Soon after
its introduction, REYNOLDS' SUN
CURED grew so big in sales on quali
ty that R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany for the last two or three years has
purchased not less than one-half of the
entire amount of the farmers' produc
tion of sun cured tobacco and their
purchases in the sections or territory
where the best sun cured tobacco
grows have stimulated the farmers to
increase the production of sun cured
tobacco.
REYNOLDS SUN CURED is not
only pure sun cured tobacco, but it is
: choice selections made from sun cured
■ tobacco grown where the best sun
cured tobacco grows.

i The largest Methodist church in
Georgia expected to use 100 gallons oi
> the usual kind of paint, they only used
5 32 gallons L. & M. mixed with 24
t gallons Linseed Oil.
t It costs less to paint a house with
; L. & M. than with other paint, be-
I cause painter mixes Linseed Oil fresh
t rom the barrell at 60 cents a gallon
5 with L. & M., and doesn't pay $1.50

i paint is used. Also be
; cause the L. & M. Zinc hardens the
