By some sudden sound she drops the vase upon the floor. She is nervous and may be told that nerv ousness is a luxury which only a rich woman can vO H11UIU IU IIIUUIC in. Nervousness has cost many a woman her po sition. Some times when wom en run machin ery the price of nervousness is mutilation, a finger lost or per haps the whole hand crushed. Nervousness iu women is com monly but a symptom of womanly disease. It is useless in such cases to "doctor" for the nerves alone. Cure the diseases which attack the delicate woman ly organism and nervousness will be cured also. D r . Pierce's Favorite Pre scription makes weak women strong, sick women well. It establishes regular ity, dries weakening drains, heals inflam mation and ulceration, and cures fejnale - weakness. It tranquilizes the nerves and induces refreshing sleep. "Iu the fall of 1897, I was troubled with nerv ousness, headache, heart trouble and female weakness." writes Miss Blanch ai. Bracey, ol Sala, Oswego Co., N. Y. "Last summer I wrote vou and you advised me to trv your ' Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery.' I did so and I began to improve rapidly. Con tinued taking the medicine, half a dozen each of Favorite Prescription ' and ' Golden Medical Discovery ' for the space of five months, and in less than a year had regained my former health." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets clear the muddy complexion. Very Remarkable Cure for Diarrhoea. "About six years ago for the lust time in my life 1 ha I a siuklen and severe attack ol diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alii e Miller, of Mor gan, Texas. "I got temporary rcliei, but it tame back again aiul asjain, and for six kn; years I have snitered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars ior nhvsicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Uosi-ne county, our present home and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Cham berlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Hemedy with a testimonal of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the rem edy. The result was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was well again, or be lieve it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine costing but a few cents, cured me." All druggists.

Use this great medicine regularly, and its invig orating powers will till your declining years with health, strength, and happiness. Read what George F. Morse, 67 years old, writes: Wells & Richardson Co., Gentlemen: Just a word in favor of Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch the eye of some afflicted person, and they may receive the same satisfactory benefit. Some 15 years ago I had a combination of malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con tinued for a year or more; meantime I lost in weight about 60 pounds, trying different medi cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results. Paine's Celery Compound was recommended, and, after using a little I began to improve, gaining about a pound a week. In a year I had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and good health, and have been a well man cvei since. Yours truly, C.EONC.E F. MORSE. Leominster, Mass., Oct. 27, 1902.

A recent estimate Is to the effect that during the last twenty years more than half a million divorces have been granted within the United States.

And those who have been unfaithful, and have done the wrong. have been simply set free to repeat the wrong on some one else. right'.' Christian Observer. is this A Boys Composition. A boy was compelled by his school teacher to write an essay on the mouth and this Is what he wrote: our mouth is the front door to your iace. It is aperature to tne cold storage of your anat omy. Some mouths look like peaches and cream and some look like a hole In a brick wall to admit a new door or window, the mouth Is a, red hot bed for tooth ache and a bung hole of oratory. Pile mouth Is the crimson aisle to the liver; 'tis patriotisms fountain and a toolchest for pie. Without mouth the politician would be a wanderer on the face of the earth ind go down to an u till on ored grave. It is the grocer's friend the orators iride and the dentists hope. It puts some men on the rostrum and some in jail. It. Is temptations lunch counter when attached to a man; it s the home of some unruly member the tongue. Without it married life would belike a summer dream, and the dude would loose half of his at tractions. The Whipping Post Would do Good. In Winston this week a young married woman applied at a drug store for morphine, stating candidly that she wanted the drug to kill her self. She was refused but she was so violent that she was placed in jail to prevent her killing herself. The pa pers say the poor woman was driven to distraction ty the infidelity of her husband. In Charlotte this week a wife attempted suicide because, she alleges, her husband has deserted her and there are hints of another wo man in the case. In Salisbury this week a railroad conductor was ar rested for brutally beating his wife and It is said that it is his habit to heap indignities upon the woman. If the man in each of these cases could be made to serve about four or five years on the chain gang, beingstrap ped down and whipped occasionally as a sort of guarantee of good faith, brutes who dishonor the name of husband would at least refrain from making public exhibitions of their brutality. Statesville Landmark, Oxford Methodist Church, Continued Granville County Auster Roll. BY WILLIAM H. HARRISON. CHAI'TKl! III. As I stated In the last article, I give some other facts about the his tory of the Oxford Methodist church. While the old church firsterected was In use there was no parsonage, the pastors renting their places of resi dence. One of them, Rev. Mr. Gan non, lived at the house now occupied by Rev. R. I. Devin. One of the most saintly characters who ever belonged to the old church was Airs. Betsey Peace. She lived In a small two-room cabin located on the lot now occupied by Col. W. B. Ballou. She was very poor, but Avasrich in faith and was a source of help and inspiration to the church, particularly to theyounger members. She was a general favorite with the children of the town and was wldely Known in this section for the gentle ness of her christian character. She lived to be one hundred years old. Another character much beloved In the church was Miss Lucy Ballard, who was a member of Judge Robert B. Gilliam's household. She was a deeply pious woman who loved her church above everything else and de voted her life to Its service. These have all gone to their re ward. They worked under manyH disadvantages and discouragements. They had not the equipment either in attractive houses of wor ship or methods which the church of today has; but they had piety and courage and faith and worked well and faithfully, laying the foundations for the larger work of today. They were, indeed, the pioneers of Chris tianity in this section. As far back as the year 1S.; the church had a well-organized Sunday school ably superintended by Mr. John W. Hays Of this eminently pious, gifted and useful man it is use less for me to speak at length. His memory Is fresh In the affections of his church and of the whole town. For forty years he was Superintend ent of the Oxford M. K. Sunday school and a leader in every work for the advancement of Christ's king dom. No eulogy of him at my hands is needed. His record of service for others is his monument! In lNCi) the church recently vacated was built. At that time the congre gation was not so large, but the few who led were zealous and determin ed and by hard work erected this, a j ner, William Cooper, Samuel Whealer, fourth year with the Oxford church. He has served the church well and is recognized as a strong preacher and as an efficient and aggressive pastor. Under his pastorate the new church has been built and paid for and the work of the church has made much advancement. Mr. McCullen was born at Kinston, N. C, on April 2Gth, 1850. He was educated at Kinston Academy. In May, 18S0, he was licensed to preach, and was ordained and entered the ministry regularly in 1SS2. Since that time he has devoted his entire time to preaching, having acceptably served the following charges: Louls burg, Warrenton, Henderson, Reids ville, Carthage and Oxford In North Carolina. For some time he was pastor of Park M. E. church at Han nibal, Mo., at which place he was highly successful. This is one of the Important churches in the Missouri Conference, Hannibal being a town about the size of Wilmington, N. C. OKANVII.I.J COUNTY "MI'STKIi ItOM.. Below 1 give the old Granville Alus ter Roll for the year 1771, just before the Revolutionary war. In this list there are, no doubt, many names of men whose descendants are now 11 v ing in Granville. Some ot our peo ple, particularly the older men, will recognize the names as those of their ancestors. This being so they can but be of interest to them. It will be remembered that this list was made from the old annual mus ter in the early days when some place was selected in each county and the militia was reviewed and Inspected Many In this list, doubtless, fought long and bravely In the great strug gle for liberty in the war of the Rev olution. There are many names be low which are familiar names In Granville today. Some of the names are curious and amusing, such as 1'a.ton Medicine, .Ino.
