BENEDICTION Postlude— V ienna March, Clark. Every number, whether hymn or an hem or carol, showed the careful training the choir had re ceived. The carols, by ladies' voices only, were rendered in such perfect time that the effect was as of a single voice. PerhaDS the most beautiful an them was Gloria in Excelsis, from 12th Mass, Mozart. The Organ prelude, Offertory, and Postlude were particularly beau tiful. Under Mrs. D'Anna's sWl'- ful manipulation the grand organ was at its best. The short address by Dr. Mur phy was in keening with the spirit of the occasion, surely no more fitting service could have been held with which to b«gin the New year than this of the Union choir. Oxford Ford Items Correspondence of tke Democrat. Oxford Ford, Jan. 4,—A num ber of people are changing iheir place of abode in our section this season. The following families have decided to work in the new factory in East Hickory; Albert Rector, John Sigmon, Robert Houston, Lafayette Lael. Poly Hollar. The following families have tried work in town and have decided that countrv life is better, hence they are moving back on the farm: John L'tce and Jeff Hollar. Mr. Kirby Herman is building a house on the Hickory road near the store of Mr. W:l:iam Tuner Mr. Berry Hous'o * and family are visiting Cit the home of Mrs. Cline. We hear that parents are consulting lawyers tuese days to see wh it can be done with the teacher for whipping th~ir chil dren. Is it not an evident fact that many parents neglect duty in the proper tearing of their children for 10 or 12 years, and then expect a teacher to t make good their neglect in a brief month or two of school? Operation Thought Inevitable Ferris, Tex —In a letter from tais place, Mary Kilman, says: "I was con fined to my bed for tLree months, with womanly troubles, and during this time suffer.-d untold agony. The dec tor said an operation was inevitable. 1 tried Cardui. Now I am well, and ab-e to do a great part of my work." Thou sands of ladies have testified to the benefit obtained from Cardui, the wo manVtonic. It prevents unnectsary womanly pains and builds up womenly strength. It is a true tonic. Try it. It Will help you. 9 THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT Dr. Harvey W.

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the government's pure food expert, recently spoke before the Franklin institute of Philadelphia on the "Application of Chemistry to Public Welfare." He explained the great good that the bureau of chemistry, of which he is chief, has done and predicted that the same principles would soon be extended so that nlbsorts of business fraud would be prohibited. He correctly argues that the man who buys silk wants to set Bilk and that when be asks for pure wool he should get pure wool, and he believes that It la the government's duty to see that he Is not swindled. Dr. Wiley was signally honored by the Franklin Institute, which presented to him the Elliott Cresson medal, the highest tribute within the gift of the institute. Dr. Wiley's engage ment to Miss Anna C. Kelton of Washington •'as recently been announced, BO it will be seen that honors are coming the pure food expert's way. Dr. Wiley was recently asked how to tell a bad egg. "If I had anything to tell a bad egg," he replted, "I would break It gently." This shows that Dr. Wiley has a sense of humor. He added seriously that there was no test for a fresh egg except the sense of smell or of taste, and this can't be exercised until the abell of" the egg is shattered.

" v : I % . _ •COME PAGK HOME" The Carofiaa, Clinclifield & Ohio Railway, thtough its indus trial agent, W. 5. koberts, of Johnson City, Tenn, is -pushing a powerful "come back home" movement* Tfei& is aimed at bringi ig bsMtk S «ich some of the 10,000 young m a and women who have emigrated to the »r th West in the $$&V5 years; and al so to check the development, of the Western germ. Tae South with infertile lands near to iarge cities and line markets is the place for success. We will have this in the future, and we hope that other railroads will cooperate with the C., C, and 0. in this laudable ef fort. * The Hickory Chamber of Com merce has heartily endorsed this work. . MR SHUFORt} SHOULD GO BACK, It is the universal testimony of those in close touch with the interests of North Carolina, that Mr. W. J. Shuford of Hidkory, who represents the Ninth Congressional District on the Board of * Agriculture, has made good in a remarkable way. It is therefore to be hope that Gov. Kitchin will reappoint Mr. Shuford to this* place. He has developed almost a genius for this kind ol work. He has been able to get hold of the farmer and inspire him for better and more progressive .work along modern lines, ' As illustrating Mr. Shuford's business ahUity;Vjt may be men tioned that he has organized a cooperative creamery in this city, which has proved a paying insti tution from the start, while other creameries in various parts of the South are either failing or proving unsatisfactory. He has organized and carried through to a successful issue, for several years past, the Catawba County Street Fair, held in this City, cutting out this side show, and the gambling fakir usually considered indispensable to the success of a fair, and yet the at tendance ran 41P into the thou sands. He has been greatly interested in the Farmers-Institute work, and has secured institutes for many new points in the district. Even counties outside of the dis trict, like Caldwell and Alex ander, have reaped the benefits of his enthusiastic work in be half of the farmers. Mr. Shuford ranks on the Board with men like Scott, Mc- Callum, Mcßae, Ashley Horn, Bledsoe and others. Mr. Scott, himself, told~ me la*t summer that it would be a calamity to the State if Mr. Shuford was not re appointed. We hope the farmers of this district who wish to see Mr. Shuford continued in this place of usefulness will write the Gov ernor to this effect. DEMOCRAT CONTEST WINNER. The Democrat recently offered a fine sold watch and rifle to the boy or man Retting the most subscribers. The watch was won by Mr. Howard Councill with 20,250 points and the rifle by Mr. John Young with 16,500 points. Every penny of money taken in counted 10 points. ARE YOU IN ARREARS? The Democrat is revising its subscription lists, and urges its patrons who are in arrears to settle promptly. The law com pels us to cut off the names of all who owe for more than a year and this we arranging to do, much as we regret it, When your feet are wet and cold, and your body chilled through and though from exposure, take a big dose of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, bathe your feet in hot water before go ing to feed, and you are almost certain to ward off a severe cold.

Cy Sulloway, known as "the Tall Pine of the Merrimac" around his home in New Hampshire, is the tallest man in He towers to an amazing height, and he is also big mentally. Nich olas Longworth is usually pointed out as "Colonel Roosevelt's son-in-law," though he has other claims to distinction besides the fact that he married Alice ftoosevelt when she \.as the White House belle. He is wealthy, repre sents an Ohio congressional district, and he is pretty busy as a politician and a lawmaker. Frank Mellen Nye of Minnesota is a brother of Bill Nye, the genial humorist who made the world laugh for several years. Nye is an at torney of Minneapolis and has been in congress two terms. He has been county attorney at home, and he does not pose as a funny man. John Dalzell of Pittsburg has been in congress continuously since 1887 and has been a member of the important rules and ways and means committees for the last ■even terms. South Fork Institute Growing Correspondence of the Democrat Maiden, Jan 4.—As we wel come the new year with its much needed showers, we look forward to welcome a good crop year; our wheat erop has been a little be hind, but since the rainy season it seems as if we will have an extra good crop in 1911. Rev. J. A. Hoyle is improving very fast. Prof. S. J. Honeycutt went to Hickory one day last week. We are glad to welcome about sixteen new pupils to the South Fork Institute, and expect sev eral more presently, Mr. Stringfield was a welcome visitor in the school during the holidays, Mrs. E. Y. Padget and family have returned from South Caro lina, andjspent a nice time. AMICUS. Stopped Those Pains Timberville, Miss. —Miss Gertrude Gatlin, of Timbeavill, writes: "I did not know anything could stop those womanly pains from which I suffered for two years, until I tried Cardui. I had been troubled with various female ailments, but they were cured in a little while, thanks to Cardui." Car dui is especially adapted for use by ailing woman. It relieves headache, backache, dragging feelings, irregular ity. nervousness, misery, and womanly weakness; It is safe. It is reliable. It does the work. Will you try it? Please do. 7 Two Bird Men Killed. Aviators Moisant at New Or leans and Hoxsey at Los Angeles fell out of the* skies on Dec. 31, neither from a vast height, but both were killed. Helpless As a Baby Valley Heights, Va.—Mrs. Jennie B. Kirby, in a letter from this place, says: "I was sick in bed for nine months, with womanly troubles. I was so weak and helpless, at times, I couldn't raise my head off my pillow I commenced to take Cardui, and 1 saw it was helping me at once. Now, I can work ail day." As a tonic, for weak woman, nothing has been found, for fifty years, that would take tne place of Cardui. Try a bottle today. It will surely do you good. 8 Democrat and Press, Consolidated iCC6 Card of Thanks Dear Mr Editor, allow me to thank through the colums of your paper the kind patrons of Rural Route 2 for the many nice Christ mas packages, given their humble earner during the holidays Wish ing each and every one a pros perous and happy new year.
