Double Your Pledge
Thousands of North Carolinians, since the War Savings Drive June 23rd
to 28thhave doubled their pledges. This is one of the Counties that failed to
raise its quota thus it is holding back the state.
If you have pledged and purchased less than $500 worth of War Savings
Stamps, we want you to double your pledge. You can do it and you will do it
your county will go over and our boys will win. If you fail to back up our
boys then how can you expect them to win?
SEPTEMBER 9TH TO 14TH
has been set aside as the period during which a wind-up drive will be conducted
in this county. Another house to house canvass will be made. Be sure to have
your pledge ready.

Public Library
Mrs. Lucy P. Russell
Libririu.

The library is indebted to Mrs.
H. A. Foushee, of Durham, for a
handsome copy of Harry Lauder's
book, "A Minstrel in France,
The volume is a memorial to his
only son, John Lauder, who fell
fiehtine bravely in France. To
heal his own sorely wounded
heart the father devotes his won
derful talents as a singer to
cheering the boys in the trenches
with song and story; he has a
piano made to fit an automobile
and with it he went but you
come read the book, then you
will know where he went. Isn't
it fine in "Annie Wall" to re
member her home town in a way
that shows her interest in what
ever tends to the development of
the best interests of the place?
I am expecting her example to
spur others to emulation and
hope the mail will be congested
with fine new books for the
library.
Strangers are finding our mod
est sign and coming over to
spend their leisure moments
with the new magazines and
books, and never fail to compli
ment our town upon its energy
and good sense in establishing
a library in face of the war.
One jovial commercial traveler
said the other day:
"New enterprise, ain't it?"
"Yes, just three months old."
"Fine thing, fine thing, puts
something besides mischief in
boys' heads and gives the old
folks something to think about.
Have any trouble getting started?"
"Not a bit, Rockingham is not
that kind of a place."
"How long you going to keep
going?"
"For the duration of childhood
and youth."
"That's right. It takes a
mighty good town to do a thing
like this; you ought to have a
Carnegie building and ten thou
sand books, and be supported by
public taxation; it would be only
a few cents on each tax-payer
and pay big interest in the de
velopment of your children.
'Lemme see "Life" and the "New
Republic," this is the pleasantest
place in town!"
OPTOMETRY
Is the employment ot any
means, other than the use drugs,
medicine, or surgery, for the
treatment ot the errors of refrao
tion, and the adaptation of lenses
for the correction of said errors.
This is the work that I have
been doing, in and around Rock
ingham, for the last six and one
half years. I make a specialty
of examining Children's eyes
and fitting glasses; eye strain is
a great deal worse in children
than in older ones. Many par
ents fail to realize this. If the
child is dull, and does not like its
books, it is a very good sign that
his eyes are giving him trouble.
In all such cases, come aud
bring the children to me and I
will make a thorough examina
tion and if glasses are needed
will fit them.

THAT DULL ACHING
Don't worry and complain about a bad
back. Get rid of it ! For weak kidneys,
lame and achy backs, your neighbors
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Read
this statement :
Mrs. M. E. Manship, Franklin
st., Rockingham, says: "Several
years ago I suffered with my
back and kidneys. I had a dull
ache in my back that took the
life out of me and when I tried
to bend over, sharp pains would
shoot through me. I had blind
ing dizzy spells and black specks
appeared before my eyes. Morn
ings I had nervous headache and
was so lame and sore, I could
hardly go. My kidneys didn't
act right, either. I got Doan's
Kidney Pills at Biggs' Drugstore
and they entirely relieved me."
