'Deadly Grasp of Grip Pros trated Me. Dr. Miles' Nervine Built Up My Shattered Nerves and Gave Me an Appetite Of the millions of people, who today suffer from nervous or heart weakness, a targe P c-Etace trace the cause directly to deadly LaGrippe. It is a germ disease, and makes a direct attack upon the nerves, potting an extra strain upon them at the time their vital itv is at the lowest ebb. If LaGrippe has kit you with a shattered nervous system, with loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia, frequent headaches and morbid tendencies, you should strengthen the weakened nerres with Dr. Miles' Nervine. It will undo all tr.at grip has done, bring back appetite, rest and restore the nerves to their normal activity. "I ant to write this testimonial for the benefit of those who have suffered from that dreaded disease LaGrippe. I suffered sev eral weeks with it, and nothing I tried seemed to hx neSt me in any way, shape or form (I suffered almost death) and finally my daughter recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine to me and I can truthfully say from the first day I felt better than in weeks. It gave me relief, built up my shattered nerves and gave me a splendid appetite. I cannot speak too t ghly of it and want to say, each and every one who has suffered from LaGrippe will find instant relief by getting a bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine. Insist on having it and take no other. It is simply splendid. Hoping this will benefit some poor sufferer I remain, Mrs. George B. Hall, Jackson, Tenn.

H. Anderson, who has just returned from a business trip In South Carolina, says that he saw many bands in the field gathering cotton. Some places the fields were almost white. As the last pods are-being pick ed the farmers are breaking up the lands for the coming crop." t t t t Tint following from the Louisville Courier Journal reprinted by the At lanta Constitution is an item oi real news : Wooden Shoes. bit preposterous to the modern citizenship of this section, but they must be worn hereabouts for they are shipped here. Two hundred pairs of these unique specimens of footwear passed through the Louisville port yesterday. They came directly from Rotterdam, consigned to a local firm. The Hollanders are famous for making and wearing wooden shoes and never lose their desire for wearing them, even when they come to this country. Scattered around in this section is a pretty good sprinkle of these old time Dutch, and they must have their wooden shoes. The shoes received will be disposed of to these foreign-born Dutch. The shoes are not only unique In their make, but are extremely light. They are worn mostly during the winter and in extreme wet weather. They are made of one piece of wood and there is no such thing as leak in them. There has been but slight change In their,make for centuries." tttt Conscience becomes very keen sometimes to the man who is honest and wishes to do right. The following from Greensboro to the Charlotte A Smiting Conscience. a mean act and then coming to himself : "A Federal official here received a letter this morning something out of the ordinary. The writer signed his full name and poetoffice address, and asked tor an immediate answer. He lives in an adjoining county, and is well known. The man stated that about ten years ago he "frauded" the government out of a lot of whiskey and a still, and deserved to be in the penitentiary. A blockade outfit and some whiskey had been captured and . placed in the depot for shipment, and that night lie broke in the depot and stole the whole outfit, selling the whiskey and using the still to make more blockade. That while the original blockader was suspected of doing this bold deed and re-sapturing his own, the writer was the man who did it. The man stated that he had got religion, and desired to know it the gov ernment would permit him to make restitution by paying the value of the goods "defrauded." He said he would do this or if the government de manded it he would come to Greensboro any day named, and give himself up. Some of the old revenue officers here, being questioned as to the facts of the narration concerning the breaking in of the depot ten years ago, say that they remember it well and the matter was always a most mysterious one, and that the party confessing had never been suspected,-it being gen erally believed, as he stated, that tbe person from whom the whiskey and still worm were seized bad a hand in the robbery." tttt Why it should be so we cannot tell, or where it came from we do not know, but there ia an opinion more or less prevalent in the public mind Should a Newspaper Make Honey? is tbe other opinion that a newspaper has no use for money except just enough to pay printers, rent and postage and barely bar the wolf from the door. In what we are here saying we do not have In mind the great metro politan papers, such as are printed In London, Paris, New York, and other great cities ; but we have m mind the country papers, dailies and weeklies, such as are printed in tbe ordinary North Carolina town. We heartily as sent to the proposition that newspapers should be moral educators and ad vocates of Industrial and agricultural progress ; but we do not see why there should be any prejudice against a newspaper having a good bank ac count. Almost any man will tell you that a good newspaper is one of the most helpful influences for any town and community ; but the average man is sure to act as if he cares little about tbe paper other than that It exist and do good work for its community. The average subscriber prefers to read his paper a year before he pays for it, when the fact is he ought to pay the cash when he subscribes juat as readily as he would pay the eash for a hat. The hat will last him a year, and he pays for It before he uses it. The newspaper will last him a year but he does not want to pay for it until he has used it a year, and a great many refuse to pay for it then. The average merchant in a country town will kick like a Texas steer on paying five dollars a month for half a column advertisement to be changed every insertion, but will plank down seven dollars and a half to some sharp talker who prints jast one card-three by fourinohes for the same merchant, slips it in the hotel register and Ieayes it there just so all the year. The average mn who patronizes a newspaper has the attitude of trying to beat It down in price, whether it be for advertising, job printing, or what not. The average newspaper in North Carolina does twice as much service to its community as any other institution for the same money, and then has to take much criticism and abuse because it doesn't exactly plea the whims of everybody in the community. All things considered, we.belleve that a good, safe newspaper is entitled to a good bank account just a much tha meMhant or the manufacturer, or the professional man. iifPiTRRD APPETITE. t- nf nnnetite always results from Ind L?vTT.blets.

It is not unusual to hear one say that he has been dreaming about some thing all night, when possibly bis dream occupied only a very short while. Many attempts have been made to measure tbe time occupied In a dream, and records appear from time to time in the papers, showing that elaborate ones occupy only a few seconds. The following Incident is told by a gentle man, who vouches for its accuracy : He was engaged one afternoon with a clerk'in verifying some long columns ot figures that had been copied from One book to another. The numbers, representing amounts in dollars and cents, were composed of six or seven figures. The clerk would read, forjin- stance, "Fourteen, one, forty-two, twelve," making tbe amount $14,142.- 12, and tbe gentleman would answer, "Check," to indicate that the copy was correct. Page after page had been read as rapidly as the words could be uttered, each number receiving the 'check." The work was drowsy, and it was with difficulty he could keep bis eyes open. Finally sleep overcame him, and be dreamed of an old horse he bad been accustomed to drive twenty-five or thirty years ago. He conld not recall any special incident connected with the dream except the locality and tbe distinct sight ot tbe horse, and the buggy to which he had driven him. He awoke suddenly, and as a number was ended called, "Check." He was conscious of having slept and ot bav-) ing dreamed, and said to the clerk, "Charlie, I have been asleep. How many of.;' those numbers have I missed?" "None," he replied. "You have checked every one." Close quest ioning developed tbe fact that of tbe figures 14,14212 he bad heard the fourteen and the twelve, but bad slept and dreamed during tbe time occupied in rapidly uttering tbe words 'one forty-two." He tried by reading other numbers, to measure tbe time, and thinks it could not have been more than half a second. Another story is told of a man who sat before his fire in a drowsy condi tion. A draf t.blowing across tbe room, set a large photograph on the mantel to swaying. A slender vase was In front otfjit, and the man remembers wondering in a mood of whimsical indifference, whether tbe picture would blow forward and send tbe vase to the fluor. Finally a gust ot wind did topple tbe picture, and It struck the vase. The man remembers being curiously re lieyed in bis state of drowsiness that at last tbe "old thing was going to fall and be done with it." Presently he was in tbe midst of a complicated business transaction in a Western city, miles away. All tbe de tails of a new and unberd-oi scheme were coming from his lips, and a board of directors was listening. Tbe scheme prospered. He moved his family West. Fragments of the journey thither and glimpses of the fine house he had bought came before his vision. A crash awoke him. The vase had struck tbe floor. He had dreamed an unlived life covering years, and all in tbe time it took for tbe vare, which he had seen toppling before he fell asleep, to fall five feet and break. STRIKES HIDDEN BOCKS.
