MOUNTAIN APPLES.
Wtctern North Carolina the Finest
Grower* in the World.
More attention is now paid than
tver before by North Carolina peo-!
pie to the fruit industry, they are
awakening to the full realization of
the value of the fruit districts and j
are buying orchard lands and planting
them, while people from other sec- 1
lions are coming into the State to ;
?engage in the industry. It is prob
ably true that nowhere in the world
?'an cheaper good orchard lands,
lands which will pay the highest prof
It to the grower of high grade fruit,
be found than In the firtfe fruit re- ^
gions of North Carolina. There are !
at present two or three well de- j
fined districts where the fruit is
being grown to the greatest advan- |
tage and, In ail these districts it is j
possible to secure well located and |
well adapted lands for apples at from
410 to $25 an acre.
The Brushy mountains, in fact this
whole mountain section embraces one
of the finest of the Appalachian ap
ple districts and grows large crops of
the finest of apples. The winesap,
the Jonathan. Grimes, Newton Pippin,
Hoover Dula Beauty, and other va
rieties are grown. An orchard man
at Taylorfville has estimated that a
:20-acre orchard of 400 trees may be
planted and brought to the bearing
age for $775. including the cost of
the 'land at $15 an acre. Some very
large yields are reported from this
district and it is known that some or
chards have reached the century
limit.?Southern Field.

SLEEPLESS FOR 15 MONTHS.
Woman, at the Age of 100, Welcomes
What Was Long Denied Her.
Boston, Nov. 5.?"Now I shall
??sleep,'' were the last words of Mrs.
Mary Turcotte, who died to-day at
"the age of 100 years and 21 days, af
ter having been without restful
??sleep for more than fifteen months.
Five years ago her son Charles
"disappeared. She waited day after
?day for his return. She refused to
lay her head on a pillow, sitting day
and night in a willow rocker, watch
ing for him, sleeping only a few
minutes at a time.
Last July the missing son was
ton rid in Lynn. He had believed
that his mother was dead, and on
bearing that she still lived and was
mourning for him he came back. He
put his mother in her bed. She had
already begun to complain of sleep
lessness. Njjw it wag chronic. Her
<ease puzzled and defiled the doc
?ors.
The old, old story, told times with
out number, and repeated over and
?over again for the last 36 years, but
-it Is always a welcome story to those
in search of health?There Is noth
ing in the world that curea coughs
and colds as quickly as Chamberlains

Majestic Range, and will purchase one at the regular price, we will give you

tisement. This ware is made to match the quality of the Majestic Range, and

J first 3 pieces, which are entirely new and cannot be had alone by purchase
?l except at a very high price. The prices of Majestic Ranges are the same, but

^ ? L- N lr\ I l \ ? I? Majestic Man to show them the merits of the
Great Majestic Itange during demonstration, we will give a beautiful souvenir FREE.
Reasons Why The Great Majestic You Should Buy
1st. It has the reputation of being the best range money can buy. 2d. It not only has H
the reputation but IS the best range made, and we will prove this to you if you will let us.
3d. It is constructed of malleable iron, material you can't beat, and of Charcoal iron?
material that resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel, is riveted together air tight.
No heat escapes or cold air enters the range, thus uses very little fuel to do perfect work.
4th. The Reservoir alone is worth the price of range over any other reservoir made. It
i boils 15 gallons of water; is heated like a tea kettle, with pocket against left hand lining,
( and is movable and sets on a frame, hence cannot wear out. When water gets too hot it
! can be moved away from fire. _
Majestic Kanges use less fuel; heat more water?and heat it hotter; costs practically
nothing for repairs; lasts three times as long; bakes better; easier to keep clean and give
better satisfaction than any other range on the market. If you know positively that the
above statements are true, wouldn't you buy a Majestic at once?
Come in during Demonstration Week and We'll Prove It To You.

There is no hope for%genuine pros
perity in the South, except through ,
living at home and boarding at the
same place. We will go forward in
some lines of progress and prosperity
without raising our bread and meat,
but the drain on our money for these
necessities will prevent the measure
of prosperity which our climate and
soil entitle us to expect. The agri
cultural community that buys its
bread and its meat must be condemn
ed to exile from the largest pros
perity.
"The day when the South will no
longer buy its corn is In sight," said
Dr. Knapp, a few days ago when the
report showed its Increase this year
of 175,940,000 bushels of corn, half
the increase of the entire country. He
added: "The South can be Inde-1
pendent of the rest of the world for
its food, and the South knows that i
fact. The South is learning to fight J
the boll weevil, has already learned j
in some places to conquer It. When
the cattle tick is eradicated, and hog
cholera put out of the list of usual
calamities, the South will have all It
wants all the time."?News and Ob

CATARRH SUFFERERS.
Good Thing to Know How to Get
Instant Relief.
It you now own a Hyomel hard rub
ber Inhaler Hood Bros, wants you to
know that they will sell you a bottle
of HYOMEI for only 50 cents.
Remember this, all who suffer with
catarrh?a bottle of HYOMEI (pro
nounce it High-o-me) is put up In a
separate package and sold for 50
sents, to accommodate the vast ar
my of people who already own a hy
amel Inhaler.
Hood Bros, will sell it to you at
that price and give you the oppor
tunity to begin at once to rid your
self of vile catarrh and the snuff
ing, hawking and spitting that go
with it.
Many people through years of neg
lect have let catarrh get a strong
hold upon them. Some of these peo
ple unreasonably think that one bot
tle of HYOMEI ought to cure them.
They do not stop to think that
i diseased condition that is the re
sult of negligence, cannot be over
come In a week.
No matter how chronic your ca
tarrh troubles, HYOMEI is guaran
teed by Hood Bros, to cure them if
you give It half a chance. Just
breathe It, that's all. and Its healing,
soothing, antiseptic properties will
make you feel better in a day.
If you own an inhaler get a 50
cent bottle of HYOMEI at Hood Bros
to-day. If you do not own a Hyomel
inhaler, ask for a complete outfit,
which consists of an Inhaler, a bot
tle of HYOMEI and simple instruc
tions for use. This complete outfit
costs 11.00, but you then have an
inhaler that will last a lifetime.
A Parable For Young Men.
Dr. George W. Lay, who was in
the office of The Progressive Far
mer, recently, spoke a parable which
that paper does well to pass along.
"The difference," he said, "between
$10 ahead and $10 behind, is the
difference between happiness and
misery." What an excellent thought
that Is for young men to ponder.
Many of us have not left footsteps |
that we could advise the rising gene- |
ration to follow, for too often have j
we found ourselves $10 behind. The j
young men of the present time, how- j
ever, have better opportunities than I
had the young men of the past and |
they will do well to follow no foot- |
steps blindly, but rather will they
profit by scrutinizing them closely
and avoid those that show the drag
ging depressions of debt, however
small. Dr. Lay's idea would have
lost none of its force if he had Put
it that the difference of even a pen
ny ahead and a penny behind is the
difference between happiness and
misery.?Charlotte Chronicle.
Good Reason.
The superintendent of a lunatic asy
lum was strolling round the grounds
a few weeks after his appointment,
when one of the inmates came up
to him and. touching his hat, ex
claimed: "We all like you better
than the last one, sir."
"Thank you," said the new offi
cial, pleasantly. "And may I ask
why?"
"Well, sir," replied the lunatic. |
"you see, you are more like one of
us!"?London Globe.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Hi* Distinguishing Mark.
One day a big city bank received
the following message from, one of 1
its country correspondents: "Pay |
twenty-five dollars to John Smith i
who will call to-day." The cashier's i
curiosity became suspicion when a '
cabman assisted into the bank a .
drunken "fare" who shouted that he ]
was John Smith and wanted some ,
money. Two clerks pushed, pulled
and piloted the boisterous individual
into a private room away from the
sight and hearing of regular deposi- 1
tors. The cashier wired the country
bank:
"Man claiming to be John Smith
is here. Highly intoxicated. Shall
we await identification?''
The answer read: "Identification
complete. Pay the money."?Success
