Lactic acid, caus ed by the decomposition of the gelatinous and albuminous tissues circulates with the blood and at tacks the fibrous tissues, particu larly in the joints, and thus caus es the local manifestation of the disease. The back and shoulders are the parts usually affected by rheumatism, and the joints at the knees, ankles, hips and waist are also sometimes attacked. Thou sands of people have found in Hood's Sarsaparilla a positive and permanent cure for rheumatism. It has had remarkable success in curing the most severe cases The secret of its success lies in tue iact mat it attacks at once the cause of the dibease by neu tralizing the lactic acid and puri fying the blood, as well as strengthening every function of the body. Argued With a Hammer. John Idol and Dave Mink, two employees in Mr. C. L.Upchurch's smith 6hop, got into a dispute Saturday evening. The latter used such strong language that the former concluded that he would clinch his side of the ques- tiou oy introducing a hammer. He used it with such force as to completely knock Mink's argu ment "in the head." Mayor Parker bound both over to court in a bond of $50.00 each. "For rheumatism I have found nothing equal to Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It relieves the pain as soon as applied. J. W. Young, West Liberty, W. Va." The prompt relief it affords is alone worth many times the cost, 50 cents. Its continued vse will effect a permanent cure. For sale by Dr. Geo Doughton, Druggist. ROAD MATTERS.

Read and See A Few Personal Para graphs Pointedly Printed. Mr. J. E. Finlcy went down to Winston Thursday on buiiness. Mr. W. F. Trogdon went down to Winston Tueseay on a business trip. Mr. Richard Stone, of Winston, has accepted a position in A lion's hardware store. Mrs. C. A. oiuk, of Norwood, is visiting her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Jones. Mr. W. M.

Mr. T. P. Parlier and son, Mr. C. E. Parlier, of Moravian Frlls, were in the citv one day last week. The latter's many friends were indeed glad to see him out again after his recent illness. A Petition. A petition was presented to the board of town commissioners at their regular tmeeting on Tues day Dec. 4, to this effect : "That they revoke the liquor license of J. H. Adams, or at least make the license payable quarterly in advance, instead of monthly as at present. The petition was received and filed to be heard and considered on the night of Dec. 10th, intt., when all the commissioners weo reoucstcd to be present, j:s wo as the petitioners. And the 10 : inst. arrived but no commission ers except J. E. Finley and i:o petitionee. No one took enoug'i interest i i the matter to come out for a short while. I do not know what actuated them to stay away, but this I do know: that if they had come we could have not revoked a license without cause which had already been granted for 12 months. And if any one knows of a violation of the law by Mr. Adams it is their duty to report it to the proper authorities and let it be investi gated by them and if found cor rect, then his license is void and not till then. I think it would be best for the town if no liquor was sold even with or without license, but there is no u?e at tempting to prevent the issuing cd themselves together for trrt of liquor license until 6ome plan purpose of mutual protection is found and agreed upon by j against giving credit to irrfc$ which $300 can be raised for the : ponsible persons and to aid cr.eh the public school. If the town , other in the collection of debts would vote a tax of 300 per an-j due them. Therefore wheneret num for public school purposes j any person shall have been re and have no bar room, I believe ; ported and published as a dclin it would be ihe best thing that ( quent debtor in the commercial could be done for us.
