The Aliens, Floyd and son, Claude,

President Wilson has called an ex
tra session of Congress to convene
next Monday, the 7th.
We are inclined to believe that the
Chapel Hill bazars, tried at Hillsboro
some weeks ago. escaped with too
light a sentence.
Our neighbor, The Williamstcn
Entei prise, came to our exchange
tabic last week clothed in a hand
some new spring dress. The Enter
prise certainly looked neat and at
tractive and we congratulate bro
ther Manning upon this evidence of
prosperity and wish him continued
success.

To Our Friends and Neighbors
You know us. You know we would not that we could not
afford to go back on our word. Nor can you afford to ignore
this money-back-if-not-satisfied offer on this splendid laxative.

fail to act daily as nature intended.
All this may be avoided, if you will
accept our advice.
taste Just like candy. They are
soothing and easy in action. They
do not cauce griping, nausea, purg
ing or excessive looseness. They
tend to tone and strengthen intestinal
nerves and muscles. They promptly
relieve constipation, and help to per
manently overcome it. '
Rexall Orderlies promote better
spirits and better health. In all of
these things they are vastly superior
to old-fashioned, harsh salts and
other purgatives, which are not only
unpleasant to take but which usually
leave the bowels in worse condition
than before. We particularly recom
mend Rexall Orderlies for children
aged and delicate persons.
Rexall Orderliea come in vest
pocket tin boxes. 12 tablets, lOcj
36 tablets, 25c; 80 tablets, 50c.
We honestly believe we have the
best bowel remedy ever made the
most plcasant-to-take, most per
manently beneficial laxative for rehof
from the miseries and dangers arising
from constipation.
We wouldn't say this if we didn't
believe it to be true. We wouldn't
risk our reputation by making such
statements did we not feel sure you
would find them true.
Our faith is built both on the
knowledge of what Rexall Orderlies
are made of and on observation of
very many severe cases in which they
have proven their merit.
Try them at Our Risk
If they do not abundantly prove
their merit with you also if you
are not entirely satisfied with them
we will refund your money and we
will do that on your mere say-so.
We don't ask you to risk a penny.
Isn't that fair?
Just let the bowels fail in properly
doing their work just let their
action be delayed end incomplete

the little boy still standing on the

I'm dead." The blood was quickly
washed off when it was found that
he had cut just a little place on his
cheek. But it gave him such a
fright that he will likely wait until
he begins to grow some beard before
trying to shave himself again.

Aurelian Springs, March 31. The
sweet summer is coming back.
Messrs. J. D. Shearin and J. E.
Warren spent Sunday in Halifax.
Mr. W. T. Warren spent Sunday
evening with relatives near "Brink
leyville. There has been quite a number of
cases of pneumonia in this commu
nity. There is much talk of tobacco
planting in this section, and the
people through here certainly have
a lot of nice plants coming on.
The well known coon dog of Mr.
J. D. Shearin died Sunday morning.
He was in his fifteenth year and was
well known throughout the county
as a prominent coon dog. Will the
coons be happy to learn of Rainb ow's
death.
This community was shocked last
Friday afternoon when it was an
nounced that Mr. Jesse Maran Butts,
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Butts, had died at 10 o'clock in a
Richmond hospital. The body was
brought to Scotland Neck Saturday
morning and taken to the home of
Mrs. Catherine Bowers, on Main
street, where it remained until 2
o'clock in the afternoon, when the
burial took place in the Baptist cem
etery, the s.-rvices being conducted
by Eider W. B. Strickland.
Mr. Butts, with his sister, went to
visit an uncle near Halifax about
five weeks ago. Soon after their
arrival he was taken desperately ill
and Dr. H. B. Furgerson, of Hali
fax, was summoned. He pro
nounced it acute appendicitis and
Mr. Butts was hastened to a hospital
in Richmond, accompanied by his
father, Mr. J. W. Butts, who had
been notified of his son's condition,
and Dr. Furgerson.
After consultation with the hos
pital physicians it was decided that
Mr. Butts' condition would not nr.
mit of an operation, and other treat
ment was given him. But he grad
ually grew worse until the end.
Mr. Butts was the baby boy of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Butts, who live
a few miles from Scotland Neck.
He was born April 23, 18S4, and was
therefore nearly 29 years of age.
He was dutiful to his parents, and
his devotion to them and his brother
and sister has received many highly
congratulatory remarks.
The heart of the entire communi
ty goes out in tenderest sympathy
t" the grief-stricken father and
mother and brother and sister
this sad hour of their bereavement,
and they are pointed to Him who
doeth all things will for comfort
and consulation.
