Mr. James Mi-Ready died March ::l. 1SHH, in the seventy third year of his age. The disease that terminated his life was cancer of the nose. He suffered intense ly with this distressing ailment for more than three years. He had not taken any nourishment on account of this disease for 17 days before his death, and had not keen able to see or speak. His case was enough to arouse and excite the sympathy in any human breast. His neighbors and friends manifested much interest and sympathy in his liehalf, by frequently visiting him and praying with him. He endured his severe and protracted af fliction with exemplary Christian pa tience and submission. He realized very sensibly that his disease would terminate in death and was willing and anxious at the appointed hour "to depart and be with Christ." He was a member nf Ol ney church and died the death of t he righteous. He leaves a -lowited and faithful wife and five affectionate chil dren to mourn his death. Hut they are comforted with the assurance that he is now enjoying "that rest that remain. 'th to the people of God." Local News. (From The Gazette April ", Isss. Cotton is selling at 9 .1-4. Mr. S. N. Boyce is at home again. Mr. John Brown, who lived near Waco, iied April 3rd. The contractor and force of hands ar rived Tuesday to go to work on the fac tory. Mr. W. N.

Glenn has bought and moved into the Fayssoux house, near Mr. .1. D. BrumnVld 's. The cold-wave flag should net Ifave been displayed Tuesday. The mistake was made by misunderstanding the d;s patch. Miss Alda Smyre, accompanied by Misses Laura Mason and Mabel Little, was at home last Friday from Gaston College enjoying the Faster holidays. Rev. Wm. E. Mcllwaine was in Dallai last Monday to meet the committee of Lowell to get a plan for the new Presby terian church soon to be built there. Mr. W. H. Faulkner, son of Mr. J. II. last year, and will admit that my expo iien.es have been so many that it wi necessary to give a general account of my travels. I have been on the move a great deal, stopping short periods in places for training and finally winding up in th trendies. After spending about t w o weeks there, which was a very good place ti stay, if it had not been for (he "Bo die,'' we were relieved by some Neapoli tan soldiers one night about 10 o'clock and we hiked about 10 kilos to an ol house built of stone and it was my luck to sleep on the Moor so I w raped up in an old blanket Is'ing somewhat sleepy and tired from In-ing up most of the time and I was glad to get somewhere to pull my shoes off ami not be disturbed. A lot of hard work had been done which a sol dier will sooner or later find in his lot, and which, in the majority of cases is ac cepted cheerfully. Hiking under all conditions of weather, countries, etc., is the hardest job, but we always get through some way, whether wet, cold, hot, or tired. There are many difficulties to overcome in the way of eat ing, sleeping, personal attention, etc. But this is to be expected when a soldier is camping. We eat when we get it and what we get. as we most of the time have monstrous appetites. I'nrli- Sam tin. Is good lionies for his men and there are times when circumstances do not permit is to live like "regular folk." Before entirely leaving the subject of hikes, I want to mention the most histor ical one. I have had. The most histori cal part i f whi.-h appeals to me. It was somewhat lengthy and I was tired, hun gry and sore-footed. But on the march we had the occasion to pass through the battlefield of one of the most famous struggles of 1!)14, on which the fellow heroes now rest under the protecting branches of autumn trees, covered with red and golden leaves. Friend and foe sleep side by side, "a cross" marks the pallet of eadi. No more enmity is known to stand, they are all as one. Somewhere, while traveling this historical spot, now marked with crosses and monuments, the thought came to me, "All that really ex ists is the infinite mind, and its idea. An.l in this mind all being is found har monious and eternal." Of all the hikes I have made, this will be one to remem ber. The people over here have some very curious wavs of living and farming, some of them have treadmills which thev nu ! to thrash their wheat, and in most cases, tney are nil housed under the same roof, such as the stock and supplies, and in t"rid of having flowers in the front yard, thev have farming materials. Of course, in the liefer towns you can find some nice residences. Most of the country is verv beautiful. Mnstlv tiful fields covered with grass and the roads are all good except some places have been torn up by heavy trucks nnrl wagons hauling supplies for the soldiers. And where in America thev have steel bridges, over here they are built of snne. Faulkner, of this place, who was former ly on the Air-Line railroad, is now cheif Speaking of the way they live, I have clerk of the postoffice department at I never seen a house built of wood.

BROWN A Villi WOMAN ONCE MORE Was Confined to Her Bed and Chair For Over Two Years Before Taking Tan lac. "Some strange things happen in this world and the ehange Tanlac has brought about in my wife's condition is one of them, ' ' said J. L. Brown, a resident of College Park, Ga. ' ' For over two years, ' ' he continued, ' ' my wife had so much trouble with her stomach that she could hardly take any nourishment at all but a milk diet, and she fell off till she was little more than a living skeleton. She got little rest or sleep at night, had no energy at all and was so weak and rundown that most of her time was spent in bed or in her chair. Her skin was sallow an.l unheal thy looking and she didn 't seem to take interest in anything. 'In fact she was about as ba off as she could be to lie alive when she started taking Tanlac, and just a few bottles of this wonderful medicine have made her a well woman once more. She now eats anything she wants, sleeps like a child, has gained twenty pounds and is able to to all her housework as well as she ever did." "Tanlac is sold in Gastonia by the Ad ams Drug Co., in Bessemer City by the Horsley Drug Co., in Cherryville by the Allen Drug Co., in Worth by the Hardin Mfg. Co., in Mt. Holly by the Holland Drug Co., in Dallas by P. D. Summey & Co., and in Belmont by the Stowe-Saun-ders Drug Co., and by all good druggists. From Private George G. Dameron.
