"l c. HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UN AWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." VOLUMN XIV. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 6. - 1912. NUMBER 18 Uncle Tobey's Lecture. Home and Farm. ; Of all tne seasons o! the year- I like autumn best, and of the months of autumn Oeto'oer is my favorite. Yet I love all the seasons and eajji bas its place and purposes in tne liaraiony of nature. Even hoary, old winter has its pleasures, , aud jj0aecau doubt its usefulness. As 've sit iu a comfortable home a pleasant tire, and hear the 6torui ou the outside, hurling snow and sleet against the window panes, we know that old Mother Earth is being prepared for the birth of a new year; that insect enemies to crops are being destroyed and the Eoil going through a process which imparts to it life and vitality; and the pare, braciag atmosphere vhich is needed after the long days of toil through the heat of summer and fall. The indoor pleasures of winter are numerous and their memory is as dear to your Uncle Tobey as those of any of any other part ,of the year. I love to see my children and grandchildren gather around the fire and pop corn and make molasses candy. It brings back to my mind the scenes of my own childhood, the sweet memories that Boften the declining years of my life. But though sweet the pleas ures of winter, it has its inconven ieaces and its dark days, and ly the time it gets through with vb we are willing to swapp it off for spring. This is the favorite season with many. Perhaps the birds B ng more sweetly, for it ie mating time with them, aud the music of the Tippling brook is more pleasing to the eat. : . We flowers, too, bloouv- moral profusely and the air is redolent with their fragrance. On the ftrni it is the season of hope. ; We plant and sow but we are not absolutely certain of the har vest. We must work and trus oil Mother Nature to crown our efforts with success. When , the nopeful days of spring begin to blend with the long hot dayB of Bommer there is mora or less care and anxiety as to the result of oar labor. Too much rain or too little may be disastrous. There are iy in me wooded sections of the country., knows that October is the month when 'possums begin to g t npe, and many a night is spent with the dogs in hunting this little vermin. I Black hawks are hanging in clusters on fche bushes waiting for Jack Frost to give them the last touch in the ripening process. The cider mill, too, is now brought "out and the "culls" cf the orchard are worked up into a delicious bever age. ' If the cider is boiled down to one-half, skimmed well during the process of boiling, then bottled or put iu air-tight kegs or . barrels, it will be hue for wiuter use. . Unole Tobey bottled some this way one time and one of tne bottles got behind some rubbish in the cellar a ad was not found for three years afterwards. It was as hue a drink I think as I ever tasted. Age had improved it. The fodder has uready been cut up, except the late coru, and the yellow pumpkins can be Sieu from the roadside thickly scattered over the fields. All arouud us, which ever way we look, we behold the fruits ot our labor, the consumma tion of our hopes the harvest that feeds the world. The railroad mag nate jvho sits in his office in New York City is as dependent on the crops as the farmer himself. ' Glorious old October brings us the certainty. We can now enjoy some of the fruits of our soil. It is in this month that we look for a visit from Jack Frost. - Sometimes he comes in September, but Octo ber is his favorite time. He puts the la4t finishing touch on our work. He sprinkles the 'frost on the puapkiuLrhe bites the,, nuts from the" trees and drops them on the ground for the boys to pick up. He steals in upon us in the night and scatters his crystaliue jewels everywhere. They can be seen in the morning flashing under the sun's rays. Hi is the master of all artists. In .a single night he will paint the foliage in such splendid colors as to dety th "skill of the best artists the world has ever known. The yellow nnd gold and crimson, softly blendiug their col ors, is a fitting decoration of rh times when even the nights are h t i rico harvest, the result of man's d sleepless. Then comes autumn rye aud bt lay are already gainei ed and sai'ely hoasec Now the The Growler. I always admire a girl who has freckles, because I know she didn't paint them on. I told you that, this suffrage busi ness would something. A Kansas woman politician has been arrest ed for bigamy. , Nobody is watched more closely by the neighbors than a new step mother. " What has become of the old fashioned woman-who ate onions every nigjht aud aved doctor bills? I have noticed cthat when a girl is proud of her figure she doesn't try .very hard;to conceal ir. . Love is when in a crowd of 50, 000 people you can see bat one person. It i hard to make a slender Princess of 16 believe that she will like her 250 pound ever: look mother. Every married man knows that there ain't no such animals as the women in the fashion plates in the magazines. The old fashioned women who used to 8 wap eggs for calico dress patterns now has a daughter who buys satin creations for a dollar down and a dollar a week Describing a costume as ''ultra by all dealers decollete" is a high-brow way of saying the lady was half naked. Taf t an3 Prosperity. There has been no panic during the Taft ad rairst ration. And so far has it been from spelling ruin in trade and industry that this ad ministration's last year is -proving to be coincident with one of the most impressive revivals of indus trial ajad commercial activity the country has experienced in a gene rations It used to" be a test of an administrator's success that it should draw to a close iu a blaze of prosperity. Mark Hanua cairied the election of 1000 bythe argu ment which he called ''the full dinner pail.". There was no with standing it. The truth is that McKiniy's last year was no- nnre distinguished by business uplift than Taft's. Why shouldu't Taft get the benefit of it, as McKinly did? Springfield Republican. A Night of Terror. Few nights are more terrible than that of a mother looking on her child choking and gasping for breath during an' attack of croup, and nothing in the house to re lieve it. Many mothers have passed nights of terror in this situation. A little forethought will enable you to avoid all this. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a certain cure'for croup and has never been known to fail. Keep it at hand. For sale Porto Rico's New Wonder. From far away Porte Rico come reports of a wonderful new discovery that is be lieved will vastly benefit the people. Ra mon T. Marchan, of Barceloneta, writes "Dr. King's New Discovery is doing splen did work here. It cured me about five times of terrible coughs and colds, also my brother of a severe cold in his chest, and more than 20 others, who used it on my advice. We hope this great medicine wiil yet be sold in every drug store in Porto Rico." For throat and lung troubles it has no equal. . A trial wiil convince you of its merit. 50c and $1.00.

A Great Building Falls when its foundation is undermined, and if the foundation of health good diges tion is attacked, quick collapse follows. On the first signs of indigestion, Dr. King s New Life Pills should be taken to tone theistomach and regulate liver, kidneys and bowels. Pleasant, easy, safe and only 25 cents at all druggists. Beet, welcome autumn, to relieve the tension. I don't mean to say that autumn is a 'rest from work on the farm. There is always work to do. But the idays and nights are cooler, and the uncertainty at d anxiety about the crops are over. The fruits of our toil are spread an I out before us. We can sum UP. with reasonable accuracy, the Jesuits of our year'd work. We have realized our hope. ; ' ' . October is with us; the grandest oU mouth of the; year. V The days and nights are almost equal. Iu bidding good-bye to summer's J fierce heat, October retains some! fher soft, gentle breezes. But the horning air is pure and crisp. It sharpens our appetites and gives ton. to our system. We sleep weil 'd feel like getting up of morn inK3.

A crusade of education which airasj "that common colds may besome uncorr mon within the next generation" has bet n Jbe4un by promiantNew York physicianf. Here is a list of the "dont's" which the doctors say wil' prevent the annual visi tation of the cold: 7 ."Don't ot in a draughty car." .; 1 "Don't sleep in hot rooms." "Don't avoid the fresh air." " "Don't stuff yourself at meal time. Over-eating reduces your resistence." To which we would add. when you take a cold get rid of it as quickly as possible. To accomplish that you will find Chamber lain's Cough Remedy most excellent. Sold by all dealers. We find in searching past records that the newspaper men of Clai borne county haven't received their just dues. Some of tbem have preached, others have been in jail, more should have been there, but none have been punished by being 8nt to the Legis'ature. We ask for the punishment in order to even things up.
