OLD SG3ESke"£™N
BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
Whenever a sore refuses to heal It la because the blood is not pore and
healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or sosne old
blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid
dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system bave naturally
begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because
of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint
which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms,
legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and
eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn
uleer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated.
Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore.
The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason
for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every
eld sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.
Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can

THOB. OWEN, goes directly into the circulation and
Waat Union. Ohio. promptly cleanses it of all poisons and
taints. It gets down to the very bottom of
the trouble and forces out every trace of im
purity and makes a complete and lasting
# cure. S. S. S. changes the quality of the
blood so that instead of feeding the diseased
PURELY VEGETABLE parts with impurities, it nourishes the
irritated, inflamed flesh with healthy blood.
Then the sore begins to heal, new flesh is formed, all pain and inflammation
leaves, the place scabs over, and when S. S. S. has purified the blood the
•ere is permanently cured. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores.

There was some of the liveliest
hustling for a hile on the Par

that has ever been dene in Hick
ory. Everything was quiet, and
nothing doing, when of a sud
den. the cry of "Mad dog, mad
dog!" went up, and several folks
went up too, up telegrah and tel
ephone poles, awning rods and
any other old thing tnac came

number of the school children
were on the streets and the poor
things were as badly -cared as
their elders. Before the alarm
was raised, almost, the dog bit

a rock scarcely taking aim in the
excitement of the moment. But

Not having seen anything in;
your popular paper from our lit
tie town, we decided to dot you
i few and especially inform you
t ist, neither the panic nor tlic
burglars have visited us as yet,
but that Uncle Sam's flag is
gracefully floating unmolested
over a hundred feet high in the
center of our tjwn. The mill is.
running on full time, hauling in
coiton and shipping mandfactur
ed goods every day. The opera
tes are a much better class of
people than is usually found at
cotton mills. They are well pro
vided for and seem to be well
contented and Jt>usy, especially on
avery other Thursday,when
they receive the pure cash and
not script for their services. But
what else could be expected from
christian business man, Mr. Hol
brook, who holds the highest es
teem of all the people, ; espec
ially the children, for whom he
always has the kindest greetings.
The new store, under the man
agement of that efficient* busi
ness man, Mr. Behon Shuford,
ind his polite clerks, is doing a
.rood business. Many new goods
are coming in every day.
But the busiest. little man in
town is Mr. Wade Shuford, who
seldom gets time for a social
;hat. It was up to him several
iays last week, to digress from
his routine business to * pay his
respects to Miss Worthington,
the lady representative from the
Department of Commerce and
Labor at Washington,', gathering
time to child labor
in Southern factories. However,
friend Shuford-, was equal to the
emergency and gallantly escort
ed the young lady over town,
taking in the mill, school, etc.
Our school is progressing nice
ly with eighty pupils enrolled,
and nearly this number in aver
age monthly attendance—the
largest in its history.
Mr. Holbrook, the big hearted
superintendent of the mil], visit
ed the school last week and in a
short talk, gave the children
wholesome advice and told
them that the mill authorities
were their friends and would aid
them more in the future in their
educational needs. Such a prac
tical talk was highly appreciated
I by both teacher and pupils.
