Splendid Displays
Wednesday and Thursday were
woman's clays at f he stores of Har
rison and Carstarphen. The Au
tumn styles In hats and trimmings
Were displayed with attractive ef
fect. The shapes exhibited were
saue and sensible, the freaks being I
absent, while both large and small
shapes with graceful outlines were
seen. Ostrich trimmings are large
lyHn favor and were well represent
ed. Another popular trimming is
that of ilie single rose, and this
was shown in beautiful effect. Black
and white combinations seemed to
be popular and many hats were
displayed at both stores. Amber,
kin* blue, the ueeper fuchsia
shades, seal and wood browus and
bright greens were well represent
ed. Both days the feminine'world
of the communiiy and the surround
ing section selected the shapes and
colors that combined beauty with
becomingness.
At both store*, fall and winter
dress goods, coat suits, r.eckwear,
trimmings, etc , were also on dis
play. Thtre was a lack of that
crispness in the air which is con
ductive to au eager desire to pur
chase velvets, corduroys, and wool
en fabrics, but the sales went on
•dopite the warmth of the weather.
Carstarphen and Harrison keep«the
latest in ladies' and gents' furnish
ings, and their service is pleasing.
Boy Scouts
Friday afternoon Prof. J. T.
Jerome organized the Boy Scouts
among the pupils of the Graded
School. Thirty-two enlisted and
these were divided into patrols of
eight with one of each squad sel
ected as scout leader. Oscar
Anderson, Yates Dowel 1, Roy An
derson and Joe D. Thrower were
chosen patrol leaders.
Tbe Boy Scouts have become one
of tbe splendid organizations of the
world. The movement is wide
spread and the up lift given by this
movement to the youth of the land
is working wonderfully for the
good of those who enlist. It is
designed to make a boy manly,
self-reliant, pure in heart andhabit,
and to give him health and strength
by camping and tramping where
Nature offers her best to heart and
eye.
No boy is allowed to use profane
language or smoke while in uni
form, tbe violation of this rule will
i forfeit the uniform. Boys who are
addicted to these pernicious habits
are thus taught how they unfit him
for those duties that make for noble
manhood.
The uniform and equipment for
thfp«.trols here will cost a few
dollars, and the citizens of the
f town should assist the young men
in this forward movement. Nearly
every town c! any importance has
the Scouts and besides the pleasure
to be gained, there will be great
aad lasting moral benefit if the
boys who have enlisted heie meet
proper encouragement.

Si.oo a Year in Advance
Died on Sunday
' The death of Mrs Polly Hardi
son at her home in Griffins Town
ship on Sunday was not unexpect
ed to friends and relatives. For
years her health had been fteble,
she having been uu&ble to leave
the bouse. She was born in Mar
tin Couuty on November sth. 1820.
Her years had been almost a cen
tury and she was, perhaps, the
oldest woman in the county. In
early girlhood she married Thomas
Cook and three children were born
to them, John E. Cook, who lived
and died in Williamston, being the
youngest son. After the death of
her first husband, she married
James Hardison, who died twenty
six years ago leaving five children,
Mrs. W. H. Daniel, Mary E.,
Sallie A. Messrs. H., and David D.
Hardison. All of these survive her
except Sallie, who died just two
days before. Messrs. Henry, John
Mid Thomas Cook, of Williamston,
are her grandsons.
Mrs. Hardison was a Roberson
before her marriage and the sister
of the late Nicholas Roberson. She
was possessed with habits of in
dustry, ana kindly acts towards
those around and about her. Her
faith in the promises of God were
strong nnd sure, and she had been
a member of the Church at Smith
wick Creek «ince 1870. Her life
had been spent in tbe quiet of her
own home and neighborhood, and
all who knew her found a helpful
friend iu time of sorrow. She will
be missed in the boms and in the
district.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon and the interment was in
the family cemetery near the fresh
ly-made grave of her daughter, who
was buried on Saturday previous.

Dodson's Liver-Tone is a Safe
Medicine to take the Place of
too Powerful Calomel
In the days when calomel was
the only liver remedy, a torpid
liver, or a spell oi biliousness was
a serious thing. Calomel is a
powerful mineral substance that
compels the liver, no matter how
weak it is, to do its work,
nothing to strengthen the liver and
a large dose—sometimes the usual
doss —may cause salivation. Dod
son's Liver-Tone is a builder that
strengthens the liver while matcuig

after effect and is perfectly suited
for children as well as grown peo
