SEPEmXTEXDEXT TERXS THE TABLES OX MALE W1TXESSES (Welfare Bulletin) Thef'e are usually two or more par ties in cases of immortality, and it is I well if the penalty therefore be shared, in the opinion of Mrs. Anna ' B .Lewis, superitendent of public I welfare for Pasquotank County. In Elizabeth City recently there was a case in which a young men was trying to prove that he was not the father of a girl's illegitimate child by establishing the fact that she had been promiscuous. Several other young men testified that they jhad had immoral relations with ebe {girl, and that, hence, the paternity of the child was uncertain. Where-' I upon, Mrs. Lewis had suit brought' on charges of prostitution against i all the! young men who had testified ' against the girl, and won her case I I Such turning o fthe tables is unusual, ; las the only penalty with which such {witnesses are generally connected is. ! that which their testimony inflicts upon the woman.

Thousands have testified to their merit. ] Proof in Oxford testimony: Miss Nona Saunders, 20 Mill St., Oxford, says: "My back bothered me, especially during the day. When ' I stood for any length of time, my j back ached and when I stooped to ! pick up something, a sudden catch took me through my kidneys. Even at night I had these aches and pains and didn't rest well. My kidneys j were irregular in action, also. Fin i ally a member of my family told me to try Doan's Pills and I lost little itime in getting a box at Hall's Drug 'store.

OXFORD BUGGY M. <r .. - - - 0 Wonderful^Horse! ^ HORSE, you are a wonderful thing; no buttons to < ) push, no horn to honk; you start yourself, no clutch to slip; no spark to miss, re ^ars to strip; no license-buying every year, with plates ^o screw on front and rear; no gas bills climbing up each day. stealing the joy of life away; no speed cops chugging in your rear, yelling summon^ in your ear. Your inner tubes are aH O. K., thank the Lord, they stay that way; your spark plugs never miss and fuss; your motor never makes us cuss. Your frame is good for many a miie; your body never changes style. Your wants are few and easy met; you've something on the auto yet." This "Wonderful Horse" and the celebrated "Chase" Buggy and Surrey are indespensible to the farmer, for, although he may own an automobile, the thing may be out of commission when he needs it most. They are un reliable and very expensive, in more ways than one. Get back to old Dob bin and the "Chase' Buggy and Sur rey, then you can lay by in store for a rainy day. A thing the average man in country or town cannot do, if he owns an automobile. If you are debating the question, as to whether to buy a buggy or a car "take a fool's advice" and buy an Ox ford "Chase Buggy" or Surrey. OXFORD BUGGY CO. Oxford, N. C<
