Ma-o-na stomach tablets are sold
by J, H Kennedy? & Co.t under
4 guarantee to reiund the money
unless they cure, when no. other
treatment, for stomach troubles
is sold in this manner;; "
:The answer is simple' and
conclusive. . ; ! - . -
f troubles merely digest the food,
while Ui-o-na, strengthens the
whole digestive system so that it
soon becomes able to care for all
the food that is eaten.
If voir do not use your arm or
lee for a month the muscles be
come flabby and weak and you
have to resort to " artificial help.
It is the same way with the
stomach -muscles. If they are
noty used, they becQme so weak
that it necessary; to, continue
using a digestive - with - the food
ypu eat. - " " $
On the other hand, when you
use Ml-o-na, your stomach soon
grows so 1 strong that yon xan
give up the use of medicine. v
iMi-o-na costs 50c a "box and
does, more . real ;tod than a
dozen boxes of ordinary - diges
tivej tablets. " The oroof of this
is i. showu- in the fact that , a
guarantee, : absolute 'and un
qualified, is given byJ.rH
Kennedy & Co, with every box

Cherryville's New Mills,
In a recent issue The Gazette
eave.a list of twelve cotton
mills which were launched in
Gaston during the year 1906
one for each month of the year
Though the first half of the first
month of the new year 1907 is
barely more than gone, two
new mills ; have . been launched
already. Should this record be
kept up 1907 will outdo 1906 in
the matter of mill building
Cberryville claims both of
these. One is the Gaston Mill
No 2, the other the Howell
Manufacturing Company.. The
latter was. organized- Monday
with Dr. A. W. Howell as president,-
Mr, A. H.. Hnss - as secy
treas., and Mr. J. C.; Ballard
president. It will be a 5,000
spindkmill. ' Regarding this
ntw factory .The Cberryville
Eagle of the 16th says: The
stock for this mill it is "said,
was subscribed and a charter ap
plied for within days, which is
satisfactory evidence that they
(are hustlers and don't believe in
doing-things by ' halves. . As
soon as the - charter is returned
the officers willbe elected and
plans will be perfected to begin
work at once. , A site .has al
ready been secured on the SV A.

CLEVELAND RICH IN GRAPHITE.
Rich Vein Discovered on Nr. R.
N. Lemmons' Land.
Cleveland Sar. 15th
It is an undisputed fact that
this country is rich in various
minerals but for the past few
years the most profitable mining
has been that of monazite. Tons
and tons of this eolden sand
have been taken from our geu
erpus Mother Earth.
Now comes the discovery ot
rich veins of graphite. Mr. O.
M. Mclntyre, prospector for the
Southern Graphite Co., while
prospecting on the lands'of Mr
R. M. Lemmons struck a rich
vein of this mineral. From the
"signs" on the surface he began
to dig down to locate the vein
After excavating to a depth of
four or five feet he struck the
vein and secured some fine sam
pies. The vein is about two feet
wide and samples taken from it
show a high per centage of gra
phitev Mr. Mclntyre. talks in
terestingly about graphite min
ing, saying heretofore it" has
not been profitably mined in this
country, successful graphite
mining being confined to Ger
many. He is of the opinion that
he has struck. the "real stuff" in
paying quanity and quality and
has . received instructions from
me company , ne represents 10
make further investigations. '

A wretch who would do a deed
like this is capable of doing any
thing that is devilish, and it is a
shame . to turn . him , loose on
