Dr. Weaver and his congregation have about all things ready for the gatherirg of the hosts. Homes have been secured for every one, and these homes are being prepared to re ceive the guests. No pains or expense will be spared to make it pleasant and comfortable for the members of the convention and the visitors. It is hoped the weather will be good, and our people will all re main well. It is hoped Dr. John son will get able to go, or at least, be able to enjoy the visits of his brethern. The other churches in the city are doing all they can to share the blessings of this great chris tian gathering. Our Baptist brethren have tendered them the use of their church for commit tee meeting, preaching, etc. Be sides, they have agreed to take care of 50 or 60 delegates. , The Presbyterians and Reform eds and other churches are doing their part to make it homelike for the delegates and visitors. While it is in session here, let every one do his duty to them and to our city. Let our hospi tality abound to overflowing with every good word and work. Let everybody, all classes, come to gether as one and have a Pente costal meeting, and may its bless ing abide with us forever. Now while vou have a little money don't forget the editor. We need money in our business, wind and water are very essenti al in running a newspaper but it takes cash to pay for paper and ink and pay the printer. So come right along with your part. A man can run a store without advertising and he can wink at a girl in the dark —but what's the use. Rev. W. R. Bradshaw, of Hick ory, who is delivering a series of missionary sermons in the county this week, will conclude his round at the Baptist church in Boone at 11 a.m., next Sunday, then assisted by the pastor, the Rev. \ J. H. Farthing, he will begin a series of services there that will continue through next week, if no longer. Mr: Bradshaw is said to be one of the most eminent Baptist divines of the State and we trust that much and lasting good may be the result of his weeks effort among our people.— Watauga Democrat. * » State News.

Ex-Senator Butler and his brother, Lester have been grant ed a new trial. So the whole thing: will be to strain over. A Bundle of News Items. No doubt the readers of the Democrat are anxious to know what has become of Rusticus that no article has appeared with his signature. Rusticus has been in a bad shape and condition for the last 32 days with a bad spell of sciatic rheumatism in his left joint and leg that he has not been able to work. Though not badlj sick but with a very sick leg. He has so recruited that he is able to sit in his arm chair to pen these items. As he could not mingle with people to gather up news, he can only give such as he has been able to gather by conversation. TLere is no news of any importance in this vicinity just now. The farmers are busy sowing wheat and oats, digging potatoes gathering corn, picking cotton. The farmers have a broad smile upon their faces just now as cotton has gone up to 15c. George Mosteller and company had two fox races near Wesley's chapel a few nights agO. They caught one and hurt the last one. As it was a new thing in that section the whole woods was full of people.

Wherever he has .appeared heretofore, Durno the Mysteri ous, who comes to Hickory on Friday Nov. 19th under the aus pices of the Radciffe Entertain nent Bureau has been proclaim ed as the worthy successor of those wizards of old, who were once a recognized and welcome part of every season's theatrical program. Fun begins as soon as Durno enters the hall and in the maz? of mystery that follows, there is no chance to remember the wor ries of the outside world. Unbe lieveable things happen right be fore one's eyes with a rapidity that is nothing short of startling and throughout the evening the humorous side of the magician.'is playing on the crowd, keeping it in a continual roar. There is not a serious moment. The company is composed of fun-producers on ly, and they entertain by mysti fying, singing comic songs, play ing various stringed instruments, telling funny stories, and em ploying numerous other devices to keep their auditors thorougly ' amu3ed. Two or three special featuies that have been arranged by Dur- * no himself, and that rival the * most astounding tricka'of the fa mous Herman, will attraet par ticular attention.

Never use a comb or brush belonging to some one else. No matter how cleanlv the owner may be, these articles may be infected with microbes, which will infect your scalp. It is far easier to catch hair microbes than it is to get rid of them, and a single stroke of an infected comb or bi'ush may well lead to baldness. Never try on anybody else's hat. Many a hat band is a resting place for microbes. If you happen to be troubled with dandruff, itching seals, fall ing hair or baldness, we have a remedy which we believe will completely relieve these troubles. We are so sure of this that we offer it to you with the under standing that it wiil cost you nothing for the trial if it does not produce the results we claim. This . remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. We honestly believe it to be the most scientific remedy for scalp and hair trou bles, and we know of nothing else that equals it for effective ness, because of the results it has produced in thousands of Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is de vised to banish dandruff, restore natural color when its loss has been brought about by disease, and make the hair naturally silky, soft and glossy. It does this be cause it stimulates the hair folli cles, destroys the germ matter, and brings about a free, healthy circulation of blood, which nour ishes the hair roots, causing them to tighten and grow new hair. We want everybody who has any trouble vvith hair or scalp to know that Recall "93" Hair Tonic is the best hair tonic and restorative in existence, and no one should scoff at or doubt this statement until they have put our claims to a fair test, with the understanding that they pay us ( nothing for the remedy if it does not give full and complete satis [ faction in every particular. Two ' sizes, 50 cents and sl.tX). Re t member you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Hickory only at our store—The Rexall Store. The W. S. Martin Drug Co. The jury could not agree and hence there was a mistrial in the Watkins case in Asheville last week. Five were for acquit tal and seven for conviction. The Teachers' Meeting. On.the first of the month, the Teachers' Association of Cataw ba county held its second meet ing for the year in the Graded school building in Newton. The attendance was large; and, as one after another, the teachers came in, it was a pleasure to see the well-dressed, handsome, in telligent women; the alert, de termined men, with their broad brows and earnest eyes. No one, looking at that crowd, could for one moment doubt that Catawba is determined- to choose good teachers for her children or none. Professors Staley and Whisnant, of the Hickory Graded school, were present, also Misses Chad wick and Schenck and others of the school. The discussion coming first on the program was on the arrange-' ment of a daily program of study. l This was led by Prof. Whisnant, who divided the time as follows, among the five different subjects; Reading, two hours, three class es; Language, forty-five minutes, wi.h twc classes; History, forty minutes, two classes; geography, forty minutes, three classes; arithmetic, one hour and twenty minutes, three classes; these, with the opening exercises, etc. leaving about twenty minutes to spend on whatever subject may seem to demand the extra time. It was agreed that this was an excellent division of the six hours, and the various teachers have agreed to plan their pro gram as nearly as possible on this basis. The next subject was the Bet terment of the Assn., and the work to be done in Catawba on school houses and the grounds around them- The superintend ent, Mr. Long, spoke some very vigorous words on this subject describing the dirty, littered, dusty school rooms he some times had to enter; and begged that the teachers would at least see that their school house was ! swept and dusted every day, an 4 the worst of the litter cleared away from the yards. Many of the teachers have had to do everything in this respect them selves, and the patrons are urged to aid them. An effoi tis being made to find some lady, not a teacher, to take the place of President of this work. Any as sistance will most gladly be re ceived by the Superintendent. The most animated discussion during the meeting was ljeld over the Blue-back spelling book. The writer is delighted to state that the teachers were over- S B. C.

(The Statesville Land mark please take note of these encouraging facts.) The meeting adjourned to be called to order again on the first Saturday of March next, Blum's almanac giving us reason to hope for another year.
