f This woman says she was saved
from an operation by Lydia E.
Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound.
Lena V. Henryj of Norristown, Ga.,
writes to Mrs. Pmkham:
•« I suffered untold misery from fe
male troubles. My doctor said an opera
tion waa the only chance I had, and I
dreaded it almost as much as death.
»One day I read how other women
had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and I decided to
try it. Before I had taken the first
bottle I was better, and now I am en
tirely cured.
. "Every woman suffering with any
female trouble should take Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."

Unenforced Laws.
If all the laws that are on the
Statute books were literally en
forced there would probably be a
pronounced exodus from the
town at once.
For example there are several
legal requirements about riding
bicycles on the sidewalks that
are broken as often as a cyclist
sets in action. Then there is
one which makes it a penalty to
ro faster than four miles an
liour which, if enforced, would
nake riding a more leisurely
pursuit than slow walking.
There is a clause that prohibits
che throwing of trash in the
parks. But a great deal is
thrown nevertheless and on oc
casions we've seen some sitting
there.
It is a good thing these laws
are dead letters but why were
they ever made is what no one is
able to tell.

Our modern parks are the

commons were a development
of the fallow field.
Foley's Kidney Remedy will cure

that is not beyond the reach of me

We are apt to pity the ancients
when we think of their ignorance
of the world. Yet there are
many places on the earth where
modern man, tho' aided by our
boasted civilization has never
been able to set foot. Such
places are the Arctic and An
arctic poles, Tibet, Interior Afri
ca etc.
CHRONIC DIARRHOEA RELIEVED
Edward E. Henry, with the United

"Our General Superintendent, Mr.

attack of the old chronic diarrhoea. I
have used it since that time and cured

CURED HAY FEVER AND SUMMER
COLD
A. S. Nushaum, Batesville, Indiana,
writes: "Last year I suffered for three
months with a summer cold so distres
sing that it interfered rith my business.
I had many of the symptons of hay
fever, and a doctor's prescription did
not reach my case, and I took several
medicines which seemed only to aggra
vate it. Fortunately I insisted upon
haying Foley's Honey and Tar. It
quickly cured me. My wife has sin

the same success."

ClaremonfCollege.
The fall term of this school
opens September 9, 1908.
Thoroughness and efficiency
constitutes the aim of the pres
ent management. Recognizing
the sad fact that much of the
present day education is of the
spectacular tvpe where show and
blow constitutes the chief virtue
and effort will beraade to count
eract this tendency in education
and to return to first principles.
Education should, develop char
acter and strengthen the mind
and add graces to those who are
taught' Conceiving this to be
the true idea of an education,
Claremont holds that the most
favorable condition under which
to educate girls is a school dis
tinctively for girls. The chief
factor in developing character is
the teacher and for that reason
a lady of refinement and culture
is employed who shall not only
meet the girls in the class room,
but be a companion to them dur
ing this their stay in College.
The home life constitutes one of
the many reasons why parents
will do well to place their girls
at Claremont. The school opens
this year with a faculty equal in
many respects to any school of
character in the State. There is
a faculty of nine and others will
be added as occasion may de
mand.
Dr. Murphy, the president,
needs no introduction to the peo
ple of Hickory. He has been
here many years and is best
known to our people as a preach
er, but he has given much time
to education.
Prof. N. E. Aull, who will
teach mathematics is known to
be the most successful instruc
tor.
The lady principal is Miss
Rhea D. Sourbeer, of Harris
burg, Pennsylvania. Miss Sour
beer has been selected because
of her peculiar fitness for the
position to which she has been
called. She will be the compan
ion and friend of every girl in
school. She is recommended as
a most consecrated Christian wo
man.
Miss Grace Kirkpatrick, one of
the most efficient teachers in the
country will remain at Clare
mont another year.
Miss Helen Chadwick who is
so well and favorbly known in
Hickory will be the Primary
teacher.
% Claremont has always main
tained a high standard in music.
The music this year promises to
excel anything in the history of
the institution. - Signor Se
verio D'Anna is no experiment
as a teacher. Hickory is to be
congratulated in having one so
efficient.
Miss Loyie Sigmon will assist
SignorD'Anna and teach under
his immediate direction.
The boarding department of
the college is in competent hands
and will be most carefully man
aged. The prospects for the
school are encouragingly. The
formal opening will be Septem
ber 9, 1908.
Fire Insurance.
There are traces in earlier times of I
enforced or voluntary contribuUons to
ward the relief of sufferers by fire, but
It is only about the beginning of the
seventeenth century that we hear of
proposals being made for a more sys
temaUc provision, and it was not till
after the great fire in London in 1666
that , these proposals took practical
shape. This seems at first to have
been in the form of underwriting by
individuals or by clubs, and some at
tempts were made to engage the cor
poration of London in a scheme of fire
insurance, but in 1681 the first regular
office for Insuring against losses by
fire was opened near the Royal ex
change, and it was followed shortly
afterward by ethers.

Eight Points of the Law.
A correspond exit signing himself "So
and-so" overheard some men—"evi
dently lawyers." he says—talking over
i case recently when some such ex
pression as this reached his ears:
"Well, be couldn't help wiunfug. He
had the eight points of the law in his
.'avor.*'
Ever since he heard this "So-and-so
lias been wondering what were the
eight points referred to, and he asks
me if I can enligbterf him on the sub
iect.
The eight points of the law, "So-and
so." are these: First, a good cause:
second, a good purse; third, an honest
and skillful solicitor; fourth, good evi
:iencc; fifth, able counsel; sixth, an up
right judge; seventh, an intelligent
jury; eighth, good luck.
It Is well understood in forensic cir
cles that If you have all these in your
favor you stand a sporting chance of
\rinnlng your case. But, 011 the other
hand, of course you may lose.—Loudon

Bonaparte as a Deadhead.
Frederic Febvre publishes in the
Paris Gaulois au interesting docu
ment preserved in the archives of the
Theatre Francals. It ruus as follows:
"Pass the citizen Bonaparte to this
evening's performance of 'Mauilus.'-
Talma."
This shows, of course, that the Em
peror Napoleon when he was only a
ientenant of artillery was very glad
of "orders" for the theater. M. Febvre
adds a story which he beard from Tal
ma's sou to the effect that the future
ruler of France used to lie iu wait for
the tragiMlian in the galleries of the
Palais Royal and that the tragedian
used often to whisper to his compan
ion: "The other way. If you don't
mind. I see Bonaparte coming, and
Cm afraid he'll ask me for seats."

Mourning For the Deceased.
Lan Maclaren told this story of grim
humor In his lecture "Scottish Traits:"
A Scotch criminal condemned to death
was visited by his counsel, who hoped
to cheer him up Just before the execu
tion. After some words of cheer he
said:
"Is there anything I can do for you ?"
"Thank you, there is one thing you
can do for me before I am executed."
"What is that?"
"I would ask you to go to my chest
and fetch my Sabbath blacks."
"And what do you want with your
Sabbath blacks?"
"I wish to wear them as a mark of
respect to the deceased."—Lyceumite
