While everyone bss a right to

to always consider what others
think and profit by their ex
perience.
Nothing makes life so mis
erable, or interferes so widely
with tbe usefulness of tbe
average American, .as indices

give fair consideration to what
others think abcut this remark

J., ri. Kennedy & Co. are
positive that in Mi-'o-na stomacb
tablets tbey have an absolute
cure lor indigestion and tbe
many disagreeable symptoms
that follow this direase, such as
distress after eating, coated
tongue, bad tase in the mouth,
dizziness, flatulence, nervous
ness and debility.
ineir action in selling Mi-o-na

plainly their belief in the value
of this remedy. Tbey take
all the risk, and there will be
no charge whatever for Mi-o-na

To Our Subscribers.
It is not often that The Ga
zette duns its subscribers through
the columns of the paper. For
the past two months we have
been too busy to send out state
ments to our suDscnoers and we
take this opportunity to say that
we hope all who are in arrear
ages will pay up if possible by
the first of the year and renew
for 1908 Recently we have
been put to a heavy extra ex
pense in moving our plant into
a larger building. We have pur
chased linotype machine which
was shipped from New York
this week and which will be in
stalled early in January. We
are putting ourselves iu shape
to make 1908 by tar the biggest
and best year of The Gazette's
history. All of these things re
quire money and we hope that
our friends will lend us their
asssistauce in carrying out our
plans by promptly paying
About tbe first week in Jan
uary ve will mail statementes
to all whose subscriptions have
expired. We have a nice mem
orandum book, containing cal
endar for 1908, much useful in
formation and blank space for
making notes for each day in
the year, and we are also print
ing some nice calendars, both of
which we will send out as soon
as we have the time.
The Gazette has more than
500 more subscribers to dav than
it had a year ago and we expect
to put on a thousand more during
1908. We expect to merit more
than ever the already well earned
title of "Gaston County's Lead
ing Newspaper."
