THE COME AND SEESI6N This sign is permanently attached to the front of the main building of the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass. What Does This Sign Mean ? It means that public inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing about the bus iness which is not "open and above board.'* It means -that a permanent invita tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs with out drugs ? Come and See. Do the women of America continu ally use as much of it as we are told ? Come and See. Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write ? Come and See. Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential ? Come and See. Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents ? Come and See. Have they proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thoosands of these women ? Come and See. . This advertisement is only 'for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills Will still go on using and being ben efited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake,be taught confidence.for she also might just as well regain her health. Fire Insurance. There are traces in earlier times of enforced or voluntary contributions 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 tematic provision, and it was not till after the great fire in London in 1666 that these proposals took practical ahape. 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 •re was opened near the Royal ex change, and It was followed shortly afterward by others. f Moslem Architecture.

Spencer.- A runnaway mar riage was consumed in Spencer Sunday afternoon when Miss Bessie Sapp became the bride of Mr. William E. Dunn, the cere money being performed at the parsonage of Rev, J. P. Lanning, pastor of the East Spencer Meth odist church, in the presence of a few hurridly invited witnesses. The bride, who is an attrac tive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Sapp, well-known Rowan citizens, had been visiting in High Point and had arranged with the groom to meet him in Spencer. Upon the arrival of the train from High Point the young couple at once sought a minister and were married. - With On* £y* Bandaged. had a great Jok% played on me while shooting billiards at a hotel In New York recently," said a Milwaukee man. "Having a little time on hand, I sauntered into the billiard room. 1 became engaged in conversation with a fellow in the room, and I proposed a game, while he readily accepted. At first things wfent along splendidly, and I had twenty to his ten. But soon he forged ahead and beat me out by a eloae score. Then a friend of mine, who was stopping at the same place, said he was willing to wager that my opponent could beat me with one eye bandaged. I accepted, his deli and placed |S on the result He didn't give me much of a chance, trimming me to the tune of 00 to 15. After the game was over I paid my bet, when the ibove mentioned friend loudly told me the eye that he had bandaged was a Milwaukee Sentinel I6N ' Hie Lyceum Course. The Alkahest Lyceum course which is being arranged foi Hickory during the coming win ter offers the following attrac tions; Temple Quartette Company, Ralph Bingham, Edwin Rush, the Magician, Hon. Lon J. Beau champ and the Otterbeer Male Quartette. A double ticket mem bership costs five dollars for the season. A good number of sub scribers have already been se cured and it is hoped that enough additional ones will be secured to make this series of entertam monts a certainty. It is not too complimentary to the town to have it said that we spend hun dreds of dollars on base ball which at best is nothing more than the gratification of the sporting nature in man when we spend nothing for intellectual en tertainment. In order to secure the course for Hickory it is necessary to have S4OO or 80 double ticket mem berships. The entertainments will be held at some central place, such as the Huffman build ing. It is possible, however, t J secure the Claremont auditorium free of charge. Dr. Murphy, who has had the matter in charge, has been prevented from accomplishing much towards working up the course on ac count of his pastoral and colle giate duties but from now on a de termined effort will be made to bring it to a successful conclusion. Takes the States ville Scalp. One of the largest crowds of the season was out to see States ville fullfil her promise of walking over the Hickory Ball Team last Thursday evening. The attendance numbered over 500 including those in the tree tops on the roofs and at the holes in the fence. And for once the rain held off and the manage ment can boast that at least one game uninterrupted by rain, has been played on the local diamond Hickory used the same battery as before—Harris and Aberne thy. For Statesviile Sherrill re ceived and Stephens did the twi rling. Stephens is reputed tc be one of the best pitchers in the State and the Statesviile team were placing most of their hopes in him, He went up however in one inning and this was very suf ficent for Hickory. Otherwise he was very effective and the game was one of the best ever witnessed in Hickory. At the end of the second inning the score stood 1 to 0 for Hickory's, at the end of the fifth it was 4 to 2 for Statesviile. Hickory tied in the seventh, blanked the next, and won out in the ninth.

A farmer had hired a man to assist in the work of the farm. At 4 o'clock the next morning the farmer called up the stairs: "Hi, there, Jake! Time to get up an go ter work." Shortly af ter Jake came down the stairs, bundle in hand. "Goin't take take your bundle in out t' work with ye?" asked the farmer, facetiously. "Nah!" sniffed Jake, "I'm goin' somewhere to stay all night." "I guess my father must have been a pretty bad boy," said one youngster. "Why?" inquired the other. "Because he knows exactly what question to ask when he wants to know what I have been doing." A young lady went into a well known establishment a few days ago and said to the shop-walker. "Do you keep stationary?" "No, miss" replied the shop walker; "if I did I would lose my job." Working For The Young Folks.
