APRIL 28, 1903:
Money makes a very gaudy ve
neering for respectability. :
Vayor Johnson, of Cleveland,
refuses to turn from the good
work he is now doing by the glit
ter ofc larger stars well beyond his
reach. It 'is not all men, who,
in the moment of success can
thus successfully bridle ambi
tion and hold it within the realm
of possibilities.
As will be noticed in another
column Prof. Kilgo makes affi
davit that he cannot get a fair
trial in Granville county and de
sires a removal. To our way of
thinking this thing has already
gone too far and that a fair trial
is the veryHhing -Kilgo does not
want. The case should be dis
, posed of without further parleying-
The model of the Salisbury Confederate-monument
now on r exhi

an &C6'oY drnggjgtsr. corner of
be seen by" every ojielThej ladies
who are so nobly devoting their
time and talents to this cause are"
to be congratulated - upon their
success in securing this beautiful
illustration of the sentiment ex
pressed in the -motto: "Glory,
stands beside our grief.' -This
model is being exhibited as an in
spiration to active assistance in
the work of perpetuating -the
memory of the Southern soldier.
If it fails of its purpose we had as
well say: "A lost and forgotten
cause.
, ' The Winds go Down.
It is claimed that the winds do
,not blow so: much nor so hard
through the prairie states as they
did! forty years ago, when the
country was first settled, and
proof of the fact is offered by
showing the wind, grist and feed
mills which were common in an
early day in many parts of the
west have all or nearly al been
torn down, on the ground that the
wind does not now afford the pow
er to operate them.- The almost
universal planting out of groves
around the prairie homesteads has
probably done something tomiji
gate the force and: power 6f the
winds, breaking up the air cur
rents, but we should not think
there had been ; enough change to
account for the disappearance of
the mills, they have given away
to other and more modern means
for doing mill work. Asheville"
Citizen,
Due Notice is Served.
Due notice is hereby served on the
public generally that De-Witt's
Witch Hazel Salve is- the only
salve on the market that is made
from the pure unadulterated witch
hazel. DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve has'cured thousands of cases
of piles that would not yield to
any other treatment, and this
fact has brought out many worth
less counterfeits. Those persons
who get the genuine DeWitt'
Witch Hazel-Salve are never dis
appointed, becanse it cures. rJas.
Plummer, ...
irrexSTSame o&t, asked wha
was wanted, and the young man
said he-would like to see him at
the store. McDaniels thought
some one was sick or dead, and
that the man wanted medicine or
burial clothes. But when they
got to the store the young man
asked for a sack - of peas. When
McDaniels told his customer that
he did not sell peas-on Sunday,
the latter insisted that it was not
Sunday, but Saturday. When
finally convinced of lis mistake,
the young man left for home very
much surprised.
