Miss Marguerite Moss left last Friday morning for Albermarle, where she will spend some time visiting relatives and friends.

E. and A. L. Hobgood. Mr. J. E. Coley, of Northside, was In town this morning and reports that the storm of Sunday after loon did not do any perceptible Jamare to crops in his neighbor aood. He says he has the best crops le has had in several years. Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Lyon and children left last Thursday for a isit of several weeks to relatives md friends in Yadkin and Surry tounties. They expect to visit in 3ocnville, Elkin, Mt. Airy and other oints, aside-from a stay at Roaring ap, a mountain resort in that sec ion. They are making the trip in heir car. We are requested by Elder C. F. "enny, the pastor, to announce hat owing to meeting of the Lower ounty 'Line Association on August . 2, and 3rd., that there will be no reaching at Dutchville church on ho 1-st Sunday. We are also asked o announce - that the Dutchville j Tnion will convene with the church t Dutchville the 5th Saturday and 1! un day in August. During the storm Tuesday after ioon lightning struck the feed barn f Mr. S. P. Mangum, of the Mount Energy section and killed a mule, nd badly stunning a horse in an djoining stall. It is thought that he horse will recover. The light ing also set the barn on fire, but it as extinguished before .much dam vge was done. The loss is a right ;evere one to Mr. Mangum, who is one of our best citizens, a son 'of Vlr. W. J. Mangum, of this place. This section was visited Tuesday afternoon by the hardest rain that has fell here during the entire spring and summer, the rain was accompani ed by a hard wind and much thunder and lightning, also a light. fall of hail. Considerable damage was done to the tobacco and corn crops by the wind. Much of the tobacco was bad ly broken and whipped about and in several fields the hail is reported to have done damage to a considerable axtent. The telephone company here suffered a heavy loss in the burning out the phones, and the switchboard, which was set on fire and. was distinguished Avith difficulty by the operator. THE SERUM A FAILURE Apparently the widely advertised sertfm that was to do such wonders in hog cholera has proved a sad fail ure. More than $73,000,000 lost last year in theJJnited States through this disease, and no evidence ye.t that its ravages are being stayed these facts point to the necessity for some thing more efficacious than anything yet put forth as a prophylactic or a cure. A Professor Carel, of Minneapolis, claims now to have found a remedyi for hog cholera which "promises to eliminate the serum treatment for germ diseases in all animal bodies." At two of the leading institutions in this country for the treatment of an imals we have been told by those in charge that the serumtreatment was being abandoned pretty generally be cause of its failure to give satisfac tory results.

Mitchell. 4t DOG SAVES ELEVEN LIVES Rover, the children's canine play mate, sounded a fire" alarm early in the morning of June 2, at the home of Robert Graham, who lives on Queen street, Southington, Connecti cut. After saving the whole family the dog kept faithful guard all day over the ruins of the homestead. When the fire started, from an un known cause, Rover was on the back porch. He unlatched the unlocked back door, ran to the bed room of his master and pulled the clothes from the bed. The ten other occupants of the house were in turn aroused by Mr. Graham, some getting out with narrow escapes from suffocation, the building 'being completely destroyed. "KINDNESS WEEK" IN KANSAS The schools in Kansas City, Kan sas, have inaugurated the observance of "Kindness Weak," apparently with most satisfactory results. A humanitarian who does not wish her name known, offered a prize of $5 for the best story on kindness. She then wrote, daily, on pink sta tionary, a letter to the pupils of the school who were observing "Kind ness Week." Each day the pink let ter was greeted with cheers, and its rosy message' evidently bore good fruit, for at the close of the week some four hundred pupils and twenty pupil-teachers entered the contest, submitting their stories on kindness. The prize was awarded to a litle girl. - PRESERVING EYESIGHT If you wish to preserve your sight and have clear, bright eyes do not strain them by reading or sewing late at night. Working or reading in a bad light, going out in a high wind or rub bing the eyes with the fingers are some of the many causes of tired and inflamed looking eyes. Bathing with warm water to which a little boracic acid has been added to the proportion of a teaspoonful to a pint of water, is an excellent remedy for inflamed eyes The best plan is to make a solution of boracic by pouring a pint of boil ing water on one ounce of boracic crystals. This should be bottled, and if enough warm water is added to a little to make it lukewarm it is ready for use at any time. After bathing the eyes one should be very, very careful to dry thern thoroughly. STEAMERS WILL PAY $10,000 In anticipation of the Panama Can al 50 vessels, have thus far applied to the surveyor of the port of New York for measurement under the can al rules. -Thirty vessels, it was an nounced today, have already been granted certificates which they will produce whenever they pass through the canal. There is no fee for meas urement and foreign vessels can also measure for the canal traffic. Under the canal i rules it will cost the American steamships Kronland and Finland $10,725 apiece to pass through th canal or more than $21, 000 for the round trip from New York to the Pacilc Coast ports. For a fair sized freighter the tolls will amount to auout $5,000 and for auxiliary motor yacht about $78.The fees are without regard to displace- men tonnage, or to what is contained in a vessel and it , is said it may be m i possible to put through the canal a cargo whose tonnage is three times that of the registered tonnage upon which tools are charged. TIME TO SEW TURNIPS Plant the most of your turnips in August. Planted this month, you will be more likely to make a good crop, because as a rule there is sufficient rain to bring-them up ?nd start them off in good shape. There are a good many varieties of turnips to select from, but for fall planting we irefer the Purple Top Globe and the Snow White Globe.Also the Yellow Aberdeen, - which is very hardy and will stand lots of cold weather. The Long White Cowhorn is a very tender, sweet turnip, excel lent for home use. While the Seven Top or salad tur nip, may be planted any time up to the middle of October, it is better to sow them early also. They then have time to ;iiake a good large root growth and the yield of salad next spring will be correspondingly great er. However, sown in August, it is not necessary to use as much seed as later. A thin .stand will produce justas .much. On the whole .we find it more pro fitable to plant our turnips in the drill than to sow them broad cast at this time. Later we sow quite a good many broadcast, but in August we plant in rows almost entirely so we pan cultivate and give them two good workings. They come on faster and produce more, especially if the weather turns dry. The total mileage of public roads in North Caolina is 48,870.

DEMOCRAT, HUT 0 SAIXT Champ Clark's constituents are loy al to him to the core and his numer ous namesakes in Missouri's "Bloody Ninth" are a lasting pledge of their admiration, says the Washington Herald. One day a proud father carried his sturdy infant to be baptized. The of ficiating clergyman asked: "What is this child's Christian name?" expecting the answer to be the name of a saint, as is the custom there. "Champ, sir," was the ready reply. "Is this the .name of a saint?" sob erly inquired the clergyman. "I think so, sir." "Has he been canonized?" the cler gyman asked. Mistaking the meaning of the term and fearing it might be some political reflection, the man instantly replied: "Canonized? Never! Champ Clarks a Democrat, eternally." WHY HE COULD NOT PAY A preacher, at the close of one of his . sermons, said: "Let; all in the house who are paying their1 debts stand up." " Presently every man, wo man and child, with one exception, rose to their feet. The preacher seated them and said: "Now every man not paying his debts stand up." The exception, a care worn, hungry-looking, individual. clothed in his last summer's suit, ilowly assumed a perpendicular posi tion. - "How is it, my friend," asked the minister, "you are the only man not ible to meet his obligations ?" "I run a neAvspaper," he answered, "and the brethern here who stood up are my subscribers; and " "Let us pray," exclaimed the min ister. More than 1,000 tons of "Manchu ria., n corn, one of the first shipments to arrive in the United States since the tariff was removed, is held up on the Seattle, Wash., wharyfs un til it can be determined whether the weevil with which it is infested is destructive. The corn was intended to be used for sock feed. Miss Myrtle Cothrum, of Russellville, Ala., says: "For nearly a year, I suf fered with terrible back ache, pains in my limbs, and my head ached nearly all t time. Qur family doctor treated me, but only gave me temporary relief. 1 was certainly in bad health. My school teacher advised me to TAKE tat The Woman's Tonic I took two bottles, in all, and was cured. I shall always praise Cardui to sick and suffering wo men."
