Take Plenty of Time to Eat.
There is a saying that "rapid eating
is slow suicide" Jf you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you are
likely suffering from indigestion or
constipation, which will result even
tually in serious illness unless correct
ed. Digestion begins in the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masticated
and insalivated. Then when you have
a fullness of the stomach or teel dull,
and stupid after eating, take one of
Chamberlain's Tablets .Many severe
cases of stomach trouble ar d consti
pation have been cured by the use of,
these tablets. They are easy to take
and most agreeable in effect. Sold

|BiG CAPTURE OF
WHISKEY IWADE SUNDAY
Sunday Deputy Sheriffs,
•J. Porter Burns and P. P. Jones
captured a wagon load of whis
key—measuring about 90 gallons
near Alien Bumgarner's resi
dence on the Catawba Springs
road.
Sheriff Burns was notified Sun
day afternoon of the whiskey be
ing at this place ard getting
Sheriff Jones to accompany him
the two went out there about
dark and found the outfit about
200 yards from the public road
standing in an old abandoned
roadway.
Elmore Lippard was found at
the wagon and arrested, A team
was hired and the man and whis
key brought here Sunday night.
Lippard at first refused to giva
his name and did not until Mon
day morning. He.first said his
home was in Wilkes county and
later told another party that he
was from Gaston, but at the trial
said he was from Alexander.
The whiskey was contained in
two barrels and when captured
one barrel was full and the other
a little over half full. A siphon
and a smaller keg completed the
outfit. It was evident from the
appearance of the outfit at the
time it was found by the officers
that whiskey was being retailed
to the consumer from its stand in
the old road.
Lippard was tried here Monday
afternoon before United States
(.'ommissioner L R. Whitener and
bound over to the next term of
Federal Court at Statesville in
the sum of SSOO which he gave.
At the trial he denied his guilt
and said he was only at the wag
on foi the purpose of getting
some whiskey and did not know
who the owners were.
The confiscated stuff was turn
ed over to Deputy Revenue Col
lector J. H. Aiken.
It was placed in the basement
of the Palace Barber Shop Mon
day, and Monday night a quant
ity was stolen by some persons
whose appetite for the "overjoy
ful" got the better of their sense
of honor. About two gallons,
however, were recovered Tues
day morning and the whole out
fit was shipped to Collector Watts
at Statesville, thereby removing
from Hickory what seemed to be
a very strong and irresistable
temptation to some of the lovers
of the liquid.
Mrs. Mary J. Browder.
Mrs. Mary J. Browder died at
her home in Hickory May 28,
1914, and was buried May 29, the
1 funeral being conducted from the
First Baptist Church. Rev, J. G.
Garth read the scripture selec
tions. Mrs. J. H, Shuford sang
"Sometime We'll Understand,"
with great tenderness. Rev. J.
D. Harte's talk was a beautiful
tribute to her as a good neighbor
a loving, tender mother and
faithful christian in whose life
most beautiful traits of character
were exemplified.
We feel sure that death to her
was an entrance into a more rad
iant and more abundant life, but
there remains a place in our
hearts which is tender to every
touch.
She leaves two daughters and
a devoted son, a sister and a bro
ther to mourn their loss.
Mrs, Browder was a loyal mem
ber of our Woman 3 Missionary
Society and as a society we wish
to record a tribute to her as a co
worker:
Resolved, first, that we bow in
trustful recognition to His will
who.doeth all things well;
Second, that we recognize in
our sister a quiet but efficient
member whose virtues are worthy
of emulation;
Third, that we cherish the
memory of our sister and endeav
or to live lives of greater useful
ness in the Master's vineyard;
Fourth, that we tender the
grief stricken family our heart
felt sympathy and pray God's
strong arm may sustain them in
this deep sorrow.
