Reddish, the pasto:-. ha3 arranged to begin a series of meetings at the First Baptist church on Sunday, April 3rd. Rev. Dr. W. M. Vines, pastor of the First Baptist church at Asheville, has been engag ed to preach during the meeting and" will arrive here Monday, the 4th. preaching his first sermon Monday night. Dr. Vines is one of the most noted ministers of the Baptist de nomination in the South and the Gastonia church was most fortunate in being able to secure his services, lie was for two years pastor of the Hanson Place Baptist church in New York city, one of the largest and wealthiest churches in the metropo lis. He is said to be a preacher of great magnetism and power. The Dog Caine Hack. A man who owns a dog is a fort unate being. The dog has been de scribed a.4 man's best friend, one that will stay with him through thick and thin and remain at his side when all other friends have taken their departure. Be that as it may, it is a fact that when a man loses his dog or has it stolen or it just nat urally goes and strays away, he wants it back. Recently Mr. L. D. Ciribble, of Dallas, lost a good setter dog. He wanted him back; and he took the 3urest and best way to get him back. He inserted the following ad in The Gazette's penny column one time at a cost of 29 cents: IjOST OR STOLEN Large black ma! setter, white spots on neck and btea3f. weighs about 60 pounds, wore collar. Reward for return to L. D. Gr.oble. Dallas, N. C. 18c2. A gentleman at Clover, S. C, read the ad Tuesday evening, an hour or so after the paper was printed and recognized a dog in that immediate vicinity as the one wanted. Wednes day morning he communicated with Mr. Gribble by phone, as a result of which the owner was that day put in possession of his dog again. All of which means that Gazette want ads pay handsome dividends. Try one. i Good Things to Eat THINGS THAT TICKLE THK PALATK AND LEAVE A GOOD TASTK AUK THK KIND YOl WANT.

They Head the List in Point of Value According to State Tax Commis sioner's Report Some Facta About Glaring Inequalities In Tax Valuations. Facts and figures as shown by the report of the State Tax Commission certainly do great credit to Gaston county as will be seen from an ex tract reprinted below from The Sal isbury Post. This article 4 reveals some distressing facts as to the glar ing inequalities" which exist in the valuation of lands for taxation. The Post says: We are glad to see The Charlotte Chronicle, among other State papers, making a vigorous and persistent fight for a revision of North Caro lina's system of assessing property and to hear it say that it proposes to touch upon the injustice of the pres ent system from time to time in the hope of arousing the people of the State to the importance of devising some modern system for a more equitable assessment of the taxable property of the State. We quote from our Charlotte con temporary an illustration of the op erations of the methods now employ ed in assessing property: "The land in Gaston county Is the most valuable in the State, judged by the report of the State Tax Com mission, juBt issued. Gaston county land is assessed at $25.90 per acre, and herein is glaring evidence of the inequalities of the tax assessment system in North Carolina. In con trast to the Gaston figures, Mecklen burg county lands are assessed at $9.69 an acre. The assessment for Buncombe county is $17.30 and for Lincoln county $10.20. Wake coun ty lands are only $8.48, while New Hanover is listed at $15.60. The small assessment in other counties is manifested in the fact that the total average for the State is only $6.15. The same inequality prevails In all other subjects of taxation. Mules are as low as $46 In Yancey to as high as $117.63 in Cherokee. Hogs range from $1.17 in Chowan, to $5 in Gaston. The total average on sheep is $1.37. The value of dogs returned for taxation in the State is $105,672 against $265,681 in sheep, the dogs numbering 16,000 and the sheep 194.089." The illustrations used by The Chronicle could be multiplied and multiplied and then the half would not be told. The press of the State is In a position to render a great service by hammering away at this farcial system until the public con science Is thoroughly aroused.

People living In the vicinity of Crowders Mountain had a sYrenuou fight with a fire Which swept over almost the entire mountain Tuesday and Wednesday. It came perilously close to the Linwood College prop erty and only vigorous fighting on the part of the citizens of that sec tion prevented serious damage. The fire originated on the south side of the mountain and it is said to have been due to the carelessness of a ne gro. The State provides a heavy penalty upon persons who are re sponsible for such fires. The Gazette does not know at this writing just what the law in the case is but ex pects to find out and let its readers know. Mr. E. H. Clark, of Bessemer City, route one, was visiting in the city Wednesday. Miss Bessie Pegram, of York ville. is the guest of Mrs. Mattie Pe gram on South Broad street. Miss Susan Banks will leave to morrow for her home In Gainesville, Ga., after being the guest for a week of Miss Laura Page. Mr. Pressley McArver is build ing a nice four-room house on the Yorkville road and will move into it soon. On page eight will be found a notice of a stockholders' meeting of the Dowell Manufacturing Company to be held at Lowell on April 14th, to consider the question of the dis solution of the company. Mr. J. W. Walters has sold his residence on South Broad street to Mr. L. A. States and has purchased a vacant lot on York street, Just south of Mr. P. R. Huffstetler's res idence from Dr. Mc. G. Anders. The Order of the Shell. Employees of the Krupp works can easily be distinguished, even whvn at tired In their Sunday best.

Whitefield. one of the founders of Methodism, who died In 1770. was a strenuous preacher. His usual pro gram was forty hours' solid speaking each week and this to congregations measured In thousands, but be often spoke for sixty bourn. This was not all. for "after his labors, instead of taking rest, be was engaged In offer ing up prayers and Intercessions or In singing hymns, as his manner was. In every bouse to which be was Invited." ' Insinuating. "Yes." boasted Slowpay. I have bought an automobile now, but I will pay you that $5 I borrowed six years ago."

Half a century ago there was no city in the world where an eminent specialist bad the the opportunities that were presented to one in Lon don; realizing this fact Dr. Barker, after graduating from Heidelburg, located in London. His practice grew so rapidly that at the end of five years he established the largest practice of any physician In that city. His practice was confined to chronic cases only in the treatment of rheu matism, catarrh, kidney and bladder diseases. He used one never-failing prescription this same prescription he had written thousands of times; and he had seen patients come into his office on crutches, who said they had been troubled with rheumatism for 15 and twenty years, and. after they used this special prescription for two or three days, they would come walking to his office, as nimbly as a school boy, and thank him for the good he had done them. The Doctor said in an interview that one man about 45 years old came to him one day and said he had been in jured while working at the carpenter trade about twenty years before, and had suffered constantly since with kidney trouble. He had tried every thing to get relief, but nothing seem ed to do him any good. He asked the Doctor if he really knew anything that would cure him, and he told him of a never-failing remedy for all chronic cases like his. He wrote him a prescription and told him to take it for a week and then come and let him know how he was getting along. This man came back to his office in just four days and said he had not felt as well in his life. He also stated that his daughter, whom he had' taken out of school because her eyes were too weak to study, and she could hardly see from one of them at all; she had been treated by four eye specialists without relief, and after he had taken this prescrip tion for two days he says he saw it was helping him so much he let her take some of it, and to their great surprise, she Improved wonderfully almost from the first dose. He told him that it was only a week's time after she commenced to talte the medicine until she could see as well as ever and was able to return to school. It was not until after hundreds of such remarkable N cases had been treated by Dr. Barker with this same prescription that he was prevailed upon in the Interest of humanity to allow the wonderful prescription to be put up so that every sufferer could have It at a very small cost. The public can now secure this pre scription under the name of bloodine, at drug stores, or The Bloodine Lab oratories, Boston, Mass., will supply a six weeks' treatment (six bottles) for $2.50; 50 cents a bottle, trial bottle and booklet, 10 cents.
