But Gaston, Sept. 18th—Mr.
Marion Hurt, son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. S. Hart of But Gaston
who is a splendid young man,
was married lut Sunday to Mist
Keller of Mountain Island.
* Mr. F. G. Campbell, of Stst'ea
ville, spent a If A days at Open
View lut week on his vseation
before going Bast tc t'.ke charge
of a large book busineu.
Miss Nancy, Col. D. A.
Lowe’s youngest daughter, h
very sick at her grand mother’s,
Mrs; Koxle Henderson, in Bast
Gaston, The Col. bu had two
doctors, namely: J. B. Wallace
of Mount Holly and Sinclair
Davidson of Lowesville. He is
very nneuy about her, and it
giving her every attention pos
sible. Her mother has been in
the west for several weeks, and
is expected Isotne Thursday.
She hu not been advised of the
serious illness of her daughter.
The colonel said yesterday that
it was useless to advise her. that
she was so far away that she
could not reach home any quick
er than on her schedule time.
Mr. P. W. Knbl, of Wilmiug
ton, was up at Open View a few
days ago, to look over Col.
Abernetny’s stock interests and
while there placed an order with
him tor one of hi^fioe Collies to
be shipped on November first.
Mr. KLuhl is a stock fancier aud
may later on purchase enough
to stock a farm of hia own near
Wilmington.
We have made note from time
to time of the serious affliction
of the Mangus family. But this
time it is more serious than ever,
as it is thought that one of hia
other daughters can not last
long and he has taken the bed
lilmself. Not only he but
several others of the family are
very low. We are sorry for
them for they are sorely afflicted
and when people talk . about
charity, there is n place where
it is needed and some of our
rich, open and kind-hearted
men could do no better now
than contribute a little mite to
Mr. Mangas to help him meet
the heavy expenses that are on
him now.
The citizens of Bast Gaston
have had reason to be .proud for
a long time of the good health
they have been having. But it
would seem now that the tide
has turned and that there are
more afflicted people in that
section than we nave ever heard
of before. A few moqths ago
we made note of the fact that
doctors were seldom seen in
that section. Bnt now they can
.be seen on almost any occasion,
and it ia hard for them to get to
their patients as often as they
want them.
In all our lives we have never
seen a town made up ao nearly
of bachelors,. widowers, old
maids, and widows, as Farrar*
town. It is a nice little village,
thickly populated, and with but
two exceptions everybody there
are single people, the only mar
. ried ones in the city being Col.
Thomas and Major Rosco Far
rar. Major Rosco was the ouly
married one of the section till
last Sunday when Col. Thomas
broke the ice, and now Mr. Al
bert Farr or promise* to follow
as soon as be gets his handsome
house finished. He is progres
. sing on it very nicely.
Miss Ella Abernathy and her
brother Ruben, have gone over
to Mr. T. L. Rhyne's near Del
las to spend a few days. Mrs.
Rhyne is an aunt of these two
youngsters.
Cotton is opening very fast
■and the picking season will
soon be over, as there will not
he anything like as mnch made
as some have been predicting,
and corn will not by a long shot
measure up to what h was
thought it would a month ago.
Col. David Alexander Lowe
says he has married more peo
' pie thaa any men in this conn
try. and that ae baa married
twenty couples in one day and
that ia remarkable as there ere
but few others that can say they
b<re done init tottcB

—"During the last two months,”
■aid a prominent cotton goods
manufacturer this morning,
"there baa been a significant
decline in the number of orders
(or cotton staffs from China aqd
Mancboria. From reports I
have seen these orders that once
were sent to tbe .Southern mill
representatives and the mills di
rect, have gone to .Japan, and
this to my mind sugars a possi
ble menace to the Southern cot
ton mill industry. I am not in
clined to be pessimistic at all.
but the situation has impressed
me so much that 1 ana very
much interested in it. Tbe yel
low peril bogey that has been
much and written about 1 do
not think will produce anything
like a revolution in the cotton
manufacturing industry, but
there ia no doubt that in the fu
ture, exactly when I cannot say,
but tbe day is not far distant,
when tbe part the Japanese will
play in the supplying of tbe
Oriental market with cloth, will
be larger than ever. That ia
my. opinion based on tbe condi
tions as they appear at present."

but it makes-permanent cures.
Dr. Howard’s specific hu

In curing constipation, dyspepsia

Drug Co. art willing to return the

does not give relief.

So great ia the demand for this
