In Honor of Daniel Boone.
"According to the Lexington
Dispatch, Mr. Bhillip Sowers, of
Davidson county, has executed a
deed to the Daniel Boone Memorial
Association, of which Mr. .1. R.
McCrary, of Lexington, is chief,
giving about three acres of land
whereon the traditional site of the
Boone cabin is located, for the
purpose of the association, which
are to build a log cabin like the
original, if possible, and store
within it certain relics of the
Boone family, and preserve the
place. The site of the cabin is on
a bluff on the Yadkin river, in
Boone township, near Boone's
ford and Boone's cave. The asso
ciation hopes to do something
worth while in the way of peipet
uating the memory of the old pio
neer. It is interesting to hear that
the tombstone marking the grave
of Boone's father at Joppa grave
yard in Davie county has been
moved to save it from the hand of
souvenir hunters, and is now in
Safe keeping in Mocksville. Mr.
Bowel's has been very generous and
and deserves warm commendation
for his gift of the land."

ber of relatives in Caldwell county.
The oldest man in the county,

state of preservation.

Make Butter People Want.
(iood butter should be composed
of the following points;
Flavor, foity live points, grain,
twenty live points; color, fifteen
points; salt, ten p lints; package,
live points.
You will notice that llavor gets
forty-live points, being nearly half
the 100 points. Ye want our but
ter to have a sweet llavor; that
makes us want to eat butter and
bread instead of bread and butter.
Perfect grain gets twenty-live
points. It should have a waxy
softness, yet solid in body and have
no excess of casein or water.
The color should be uniform and
bright, not too pale, yet not too
highly colored, while the salt
should be evenlv distributed and
and thoroughly dissolved.
The package should be neat and
clean, using a good grade of paper
for wrapping.
A new game is being played on
the farmeis, which, according to
The vYaxhaw Kutcrprisc, puts the
lightning rod shark in the rear. It
is i he barb wire fence promoter.
The Enterprise says that this
schemer proposes to the larmer "to
put up an eight wire fence at eight
cents a fool. This seems so cheap
the farmer usually signs the con
tract, and when the bill comes in,
which it is sure to do, the deluded
farmer finds he h as agreed to pay
eight cents a foot for each wire.
When the scheme works he has to
surrender his farm in part pay
ment and give his note for the bal
ance. It seems that there is no
end to the snares that are laid for
the tanner. A law ought to be
passed giving him an open season
for the use of his shotgun. Char

A Woman's Appeal to a Burglar.
By a simple, earnest appeal to a
burglar as she sat up in bed in the
semi-gloom created by a night lamp
Mrs. Beulah Coleman, of Ferguson
reached his better nature and caus
ed him, with lowered head and
slinking steps, to return the money
and jewelry he hand taken. 'You
are a burglar aren't youf she ask
ed of the ligure dimly revealed in
the kitchen adjoining. His silence
convicted him. 'I'm not going to
take you to task for that,' she con
tinued" in a low voice calculated not
to wake her husband, asleep in the
froont room, and the children at
her side. 'My husband is an inva
lid and I am trying to support
this little family. I know you need
the money, or you wouldn't be here
but I probably need it worse than
you. You see these children who
are dependent upon me, a woman.
Y'ou are a mau. It is for you to
decide who needs the money most.'
The thief did not answer, but toss
ed her husband's pocketbook on
the foot of the bed, slid the jewelry
out of his pockets on the dresser
and left.

30 YEARS OF SUCCESS
The B. M. Hyde Co. Offer a
Remedy for Catarrh. The Med
icine Costs Nothing it it Fails.
When a medicine effects a sue
cessful treatment in a very large
majority of cases, and when we
offer that medicine on our own pT
sonal guarantee that it will cost
the user nothing if it does not cum
pletely relieve catarrh, it is only
reasonable that people should be
lieve us, or at least put our claim
to a practical test when we take all
the risk. I hese are facts which
we want the people to substantiate.
We want them to try KexallMucu
Tone, a medicine prepared from a j
prescription of a physician with
whom catarrh was a specialty, and i
who has a record vf thirty years of i
en viable success to his record.
We receive more good reports
about Hexall Much Tune than we
do of all other catarrh remedies
sold in our store, and if more peo
ple only knew what a thoroughly
dependable reined v Hexall Mucu
j'fone is, it would be the only
jcatairh remedy we would have any
demand lor.
Hexall Mucu Tom- is quickly al
sorbed and by its therapeutic clfect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the
entire mucous membraneous tract,
to destroy and remove the parasites
which injure the membraneous
tissues, to soothe the irritation and
heal the soreness, stop the mucous
discharge, build up strong, healthy
tissue and relieve the blood and
system of diseased matter. Its in
fluence is toward stimulating the
muco cells, aiding digestion and
improving nutrition until the
whole body vibrates with healthy
activity. In a comparatively short
time it brings about a noticeable
gain in weight, strength, good color
and feeling of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Hexall Mucu
Tone, iM'ginning a treatment to
day. At any time you are not
satisfied, simply come and tell us,
and we will quickly return our
money without question or quibble.
We have Hexall Mucu Tone in two
