We could: not learn the individual's 'same. - The Gastonia Cornet Band has been engaged for the commencement exercises of the Shelby high school on the first and second of June. We feel assured that the Cleveland peo ple will be highly pleased with It. The band is composed of as fine a looking set of men as can be found, and their gentlemanly deportment in connection with their delightful music will win them laurels. The Garibaldi School.

Ready, KjU I was not able to do f nytiung for nearly six months," writes Mrs, Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and was down in bed for three months. I cannot tell you how I suffered with soy bead, and with nervousness and womanly troubles. Our family doctor told my husband he could not do me any good, and he had to give it up. We tried another doctor, but he did not help me. At last, 07 mother advised me to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. 1 thought it was no use for I was nearly dead and eothing seemed to do me any good. But I took eleven bottles, and now 1 am able to do all of my work and my own wziiang. v . , ... 1 think Cardui is the best medicine la the world. My weight has increased, cr.

GASTOXI A GARAGE CO. . J. A, BLACKWOOD Jt CO. U - I ' Mora roa 25 Qttw . THE EIGHTIES agement of Prof. A. J. Harrison, took place at the academy last Fri day, the 20th. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. J. D. Hall. There was a large crowd present and the good dinner prepar ed by the ladies of the neighbor hood was much enjoyed. We would have been glad to have received a full report of the proceedings. . Rapid Development (From The Gazette of May 28, S1.) We predict that in 20 years hence the average price of lands in Gas ton county will be $25 per acre, and the town of Gastonia will extend from the Lutheran chapel to the White church, and that lands for miles around will sell at 1 100 per acre. There is no section In the South more desirable and people who have capital in other counties should invest in Gaston county property, where taxation is light. All Healing Springs. (From The Gazette of May 28, '81.) We have received the pamphlet or the All Healing Springs, which will be opened by Dr. F. M. Garrett, manager, June 1st. The hotel is 165 feet long, three stories high and is located at the base of Crowd ers mountain. It is only five miles from Gastonia and almost in view. It will be a vast revenue to the county and we hope it will be large ly patronized. Back to Gafltoa. (From The Gazette of May 28, '81.) Mr. C. C. Mason, who left Gaston county for Arkansas two months ago. has returned broken down in health. His siBter who went with him died almost two weeks ago. The crops are bad, health is bad and many old natives are anxious to get back to this county. People are foolish to leave such a county as Gaston merely for making a better living and a person might better his condition and that is all. The Picnic. (From The Gazette of May 28, '81.) The picnic of the Baptist Sunday school held in Shlloh Park last Sat urday was a decided success. The behavior was excellent .and tne speaking by Rev. J. H. and Mr. J. X. Booth was well received. The young folks and little children en joyed the abundant dinner wonder fuly. We were glad to see many parents out with children and no tced with pleasure the pride they manifested in their good behavior. We never saw a better looking crowd of little ones than were out. Music was furnished by the Gasto nia Cornet Band, which was render ed in the best style and was the sub ject of praise on all sides. The large bass drum recently bought by Mr. Robinson is an attractive feat ure in the band. Dallas Echoes. (From The Gazette of May 28, '81.) Dallas is the "driest" town in tne State, as to water, whiskey, or pros pects. The work on the Baptist church is progressing finely, and when it is finished (if old Boreas does not take charge of the "frontal struct ures,") it will be quite an orna ment to the town, and an honor to those engaged in the enterprise. J. C. Puett is putting up two very handsome bouses, so that in the fu ture, he may have plenty of room for himself, and some other good fami lies, who may wish to rent a house in town for the convenience of a school, etc. Moore ft Lewis are taking an In ventory of their stock of goods, pre paratory to an amicable dissolution of the firm. I expect "Cousin Pete" will go to Gastonia, but don't you tell anybody. Our school here will close In an other week. Profi Dixon calculates to attend the Normal school at New ton this summer, I learn. . There will be services at the Pres byterian church Saturday and Sun day next, conducted by Rev. R.. Z. Johnston. . The sacrament of the Lord's supper will be administered. - Rove Ranger, ; , UneobitoB Items. -(From The Gazette of May 28, '81.)

Renchall, of Davenport Iowa, is visiting in Llncolnton. The passenger trains over the Chester A Lenoir railroad are mak lng regular daily arrivals and are doing a good business. From The Charlotte Observer. (From The Gazette of May 28, '81.) The report that there is smallpox in Charlotte is denounced as false. Monday, Victor Louis, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Pegram, died, age, 10 months. The ladies are making vigorous efforts ia favor of prohibition. Dr. A. W. Miller preached the dedicatory sermon of the new Pres byterian church at Matthews sta tion Sunday. Died. (From The Gazette of May 28, '81.) In Dallas on the 6th day of April, 1881, at her residence, Harriett P. Brumfleld, the wife of Rev. James Brumfield; aged 72 years, three months and eight days. The deceased professed religion in the year 1838, joined the Metho dist Episcopal church in December, 1838. and lived a devoted Christian till the day of her death. She was a good wife, a good mother and kind and obliging neighbor. She leaves a husband, five children and 23 grand children to mourn her loss. Her loss is their gain. Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are. While on His breast I lean my head. And breathe my life out sweetly there. (To be Continued.) The Gastonia Gazette. FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1916. A PLEA OF GUILTY. The brilliant yftung editor of The York Xews. published at Yorkville, brought forth this scintillating para graph and gave it form in Monday's issue of his paper: It appears to us that one certain Gastonia paper might do well to hire a local reporter. We hardly think that twenty-three automobiles from another town could come through here without The York Xews men tioning it." We are assuming that Editor Bell is hitting at The Gazette. We plead guilty to the soft impeachment we failed utterly to make any mention whatever of this momentous event. The omission, however, was not pre meditated. Occasionally, in the stress of work incident to getting out a paper, operating a print shop and doing sundry other things, we miss an item of news. Of course it is lit tle short of criminal that we failed to note the presence of twenty-three automobiles here from Yorkville. It should have had top of column, front page, next to pure reading matter. For, be it known, this booster trip was for the purpose of advertising Yorkville's cbautauqua. It did not occur to Editor Bell, we presume, while he was visiting the business houses along the street talking up the chautauqua to drop in and tell the overworked newspaper man something about his trip and his par ty and suggest that a little free ad vertising would come in ha'ndy. AH this aside, however, and speaking se riously. The Gazette knew this party was in town and Intended to give It some free publicity and does not hes itate to confess that it just "slipped our -memory." This is said for the benefit of others; Editor Bell would hardly give it credence. In this connection we might add that the presumption would naturally be that the editor of The Xews never misses anything. This being the case we are at a loss to understand why The News of Monday has no news whatever of the floods in York county while Its contemporary. The Yorkville Enquirer, has a column or two of detailed and very Interesting and valuable information regarding the damage done in that section by the flood. ; r . . i It appears that Editor Bell wanted some free publicity for the Yorkville chautauqua. and he may ' consider this article as erring that end. Wt give it to him gladly. yVeViUSeUYoul a Lot in. , t and Build Your Home Accordinf to your plana, ' The terms are easy too. Come in and talk it oyer.
