J. I. HOBEBIS SUFFER-,
ED FeRTWEKTVYEARS
Declares He is Now as Strong
as He Ever Was in
His Life.
"For twenty years I have suf
fered with catarrh in head and
stomach, every body who knows
me, and I know a great many 1
people, knows this to be a fact,
said Mr. A. M. Roberts residing
at 24 Seigle Street, Charlotte.
"Every night my head would be
so stopped up I could hardly
breathe, and I would have a
choking feeling and a shortness
of breath that nearly drove me
wild, I had catarrh of the
stomach too, because I had indi
gestion most of the time. In
fact I have not had a well dsy
in years and have been s> ner
vous and restless I simply dread
ed to see night come because I
could not sleep, and to tell the
truth I was so weak and run
down, I have not been able to
do any work since I don't know
how long. No kind of medicine,
and I took nearlv everything,
seemed to help me a particle un
til I heard of this Tanlac. I
have taken four bottles of the
medicine and ara proud to iav I
am as well and stronar as I ever
was. My appetite and digestion
has improved, and 1 am gaining
weight right along. I sleep
good at nights and can breathe
fine. I no longer have those
choking, smothering sansation s
like I used to have. Every body
certainly ought to know about
this medicine for it surely has
done wonders for me. The only
thing I regret is that I did not
hear of it years ago, as I believe
it would have saved me lots of
suffering."
Tanlac can be obtained in
Hickory from Menzies Drug
Store and in Newton at Freeze's
Drug Store , exclusive Tanlac
represenatives. Price SI.OO a
bottle or six for $5.00. Aiy

The privileged classes of man
kind have no conscience on the
subject of their privilege. His
torp which is nobility or even a
monopoly, intrenched in preced

of the rights of which she had
been despoiled, The iron jaws

privilege never relax until they
are broken, —Ridpath's History

The Mirage.
In the Red River valley of Min
nesota may be seen some of the
magical effects of the mirage that
forms so striking a feature of an
arid or semiarid region. Warren
Upham describes it as follows:
"The mirage, typical of plains
country or the ocean, may be
seen in the Red River valley al
most any sunshiny day in spring,
6ummer or autumn. This queer
phenomenon makes the high land
at the sides of the valley and the
tops of the distant trees and
houses appear to be raised a lit
tle above the horizor, with a nar
row strip of sky between. The
more complex and astonishing
effect of mirage may be seen
from the highland on either side
of the lake-bed floor. There, in
looking across the valley from
one and one-half to two hours
after sunrise on a hot morning
following a cool night, the groves
and houses, villages, and grain
elevators loom up to two or three
times their true height and places
ordinarily hidden by the curva
ture of the earth are brought into
view. Oftentimes, too, these ob
jects are seen double, being re
peated in an inverted image close
above their real positions an 3
separated from it by a foglike
belt. In its most perfect deve
lopment the mirage shows the
upper and topsy-turvy portion of
the view quite as distinctly as
the lower and true Dortion."
These appearances are due to
refraction and reflection from
layers of air of different density,
such as are often formed above
a wide expanse of level country
in warm weather. —(Northern
Pacific Guidebook, U. S. Geolog
ical Survey.)

Jacob Summey.
Jacob Summey was a son of
Peter Summey of Lincoln coun
ty. The pioneer Summey farm
is found on the west side of
South Fork river not far
from the Catawba county
line.
John Martin Shuford died in
1780. In 1784 his Vidow, Eve
CatherineWarlick Shuford, mar
ried Jacob Summey. £The chil
dren of this marriage were
George, Peter and Barbara. Eve
Summey is buried in the grave
yard in the town of Lincolnton.
She died January 24, 1822 after
a short illness of not more than
two hours. After her death
Jacob Summey married a Miss
Avery of Burke county, 3he was
an aunt of Judge A. C. Avery of
Burke county. I received this
information from Judge Avery
about a year before she died. I
suppose Jacob Summey is buried
in Burke county in the Avery
grave-yard.

U. S. Foreign Trade
Breaks All Records
The foreign trade of the Unit
ed States broke all records dur
ing the first year of the Euro- ,
pean war. according to figures
by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic commerce covering the
period from August 1914, to
August 1915.
"Statistics show that for the
first time in the nation's history
exports exceeded $3,000,000,000
in value for a twelve months
period. For the twelve months
ending with August 31, 1915.
exports from the United States
aggregated $3,035,033,280 against
i 52,280.185,791 in a like period
one year ago. Tweive months
imports of merchandise totalled
$1,669,698,934, compared with
$1,906,657,515 last year."
When Pennies Count.
One mother who has to count
her pennies and dislikes cheap
things buys the very bfist mate
rials for her son who is oldest.
When they are outgrown they fit
the oldest daughter. Of course,
when buying, the mother must
remember their ultimate fate and
buy patterns that will be suitable
for a girl too.
Blouses are let clown and
turned into middies. The sleeves
are cut short and the ties are
used to bind them, and also serve
as a piece to run down the
sides. A certain wealthy woman
always buys her daughter's
outing coats and hats in the boy's
department, and it was from her
that the poorer mother got the
idea.
Another mother turns the
ironing board into a play table
for her baby. She made a cover
of checked gingham, which
easily slips off when the board is
needed—and placed it upon two
soay boxes, which she stained to
match the kitchen woodwork. In
these are kept the toys, She
claims it was a great discovery.

Bell Watch on His Wrist.
The doctor who left instruc
tion that a bell watch should be
fixed to his wrist after death as
a precaution against premature
burial may have heard of the
similar safeguards prescribed by
Meyerbeer. Two men were to
watch over him night and day
for five days, he directed, and
beiis were to be hung from his
1 a::ds and feet to give warning
of the slightest movement. Fi
nally, incisions were to be made
in his throat,
Harriet Marineau also had a

fear burial alive, and left direc

her remains. Which, we may
