TO ENJOY A GOOD DINNER.
How to Avoid Distress and Indiges
tion After Eatlng.v
Let us tell you how yoU can
enjoy a good dinner, so that' the
heartiest meal will set well on
your stomach and cause no un
pleasant and disagreeable after
effects.
We will show you how to re
gain the appetite of your child
hood and the enjoyment of food,
so that it will taste as well as
when mother cooked the din
ner.
There is no hard work neces
sary to do this; no need ot a
rigid and self-denying diet list;
no call for nasty and disagreea
ble medicines. Simply take a
Mi-o-na stomach tablet before
each meal and before going to
bed, and it will so strengthen
the stomach that before long a
hearty meal will give you grat
ification and comfort, .without
the least fear of distress and suf
fering. ' ;
The strongest proof we - can
offer of our faith in this advice,
is the fact that J. H. Kennedy
& Co. give an absolute, unqual
ified guarantee (applying: to two
50c boxes of Mi-o-na), that your
money will be refunded unless Mi
o-ua cures. A guarantee like this
givesyott confidence in Mi-o-na?
They take the whole risk, and
the remedy-will. not cost you a
penny unless it cures. :
AU-o-na is dui a mere uigcai-
ive, giving oniy temporary re
lef, but a speciuc lor all diseases
of the ; stomach, strengthening
the digestive organs and making
permanent cure , J11-J5.

Gastonlan Honored.
Mr. Earl S. Pegram, a son of
Mrs; T. C. Pegram of Gastonia,
and individual bookkeeper for
the First National Bank of
Charlotte, has been elected
cashier : of the " First National
Bank of ' Statesville and , has
signified his acceptance of the
position. This is an honor
worthily bestowed. Mr. Pegram
is thoroughly familiar with the
intricacies of banking and has
had much experience i n the
business. At the age of 17 he
was cashier of the First National
Bank of Gastonia, , buying at that
time the distinction of being the
youngest bank cashier in the
State. Ten years ago this month
he went to Charlotte as book
keeper i for the First National
Bank, of that city and has filled
that position most satisfactorily
since. The bank of which he
becomes cashier and of which
he will take active charge about
February. 1st. has recently in
creased its capital from $50,000
to $100,000. Mr. Pegram is a
brother of Mr. Lamar C. Pegram,
teller of the First National Bank
of Gastonia. ' His many friends
here congratulate him on his
promotion.
New Episcopal Rector.
Rev. W. H. Hardin, the new
rector of St. Mark's Epiopal
church, arrived in Gastonia with
his family Wednesday night
from Vale Crucis, N. C. They
will board for the present but
will later occupy one of the
Craig cottages. Mr. Hatdin will
assume the duties of rector of
this church at once.. In ad
dition to conducting services at
least, once each Sunday at St.
Mark's, he will also have charge
of the High Shoals and Bessemer
City churches. The Gastonia
church has been without a rector
practically all the time since the
death of the late Dr. Wetmore,
ot Lincolnton, the church at the
latter place then securing Rev.
D T. Johnson, who was at that
time rector here. Rev. J. C.
Seagle was rector for a short
while and services have been
held occasionally by other
ministers of the denomination.
Rev. Mr. Hardin and family are
welcome additions to Gastonia's
church and social circles.

Quite the Proper Thing.
Charlotte Chronicle, 9th.
It looks quite the proper thing
to see a McAden again at the
head of the First National Bank.
Mr. Frank Gilreath having re
tired as president, the stock
holders yesterday elected Mr.
Henry M. McAden to that po
sition Mr. McAden is a young
man of fine talents and of splen
did business equipment. The
stockholders have chosen wisely.

Tillman's Sympathy Misplaced.
Charlotte Chronicle.
Senator Tillman is quoted as
saving in regard to the proposi
tion to banish the negro troops:
"The Philippine Islanders are a
conquered people, and wards of
ours, whom it is our duty to pro
tect so far as possible from harm
of every kind, and if these negro
soldiers are too brutal and too
dangerous to be stationed amdng
our own people it is an injustice
to inflict them upon the Philip
pine communities." A lot of us
didn't know that there was such
a thing as a Filipino until Dew
ey sailed into Manilla Bay, but
many people who . have been
reading since about the Filipino
will be of the opinion that Till
man's sympathy is misplaced.
It's for the negro soldier that he
ought to be pray ing.
