AarortW The man who conducts his busi ness on the theory that it doesn't ' pay and he can't afford to adver tise, seta np his judgement in op position to that of all the business men in the world, says an experi enced advertising authority. With a few year's experience in conduct ing a small business on a few thous andsof capital, he assumes to know more than thousands whose hourly transactions aggregate more than his do in a month, and who have made their millions by per suing a course that he says doesn't pay. If advertising doesn't pay, why is it that the most successful merchants ot every town, large, or small, are the heaviest advertisers! If it does not pay, why do business firms in the world spend millions in that way! Is it because they want to donate those millions to the newspaper and magazine pub Ushers, or because they don't know as much about business as the three for a dollar merchant, who says money spent in advertising is thrown away, or donated to the man to whom it is paid. Such talk is simply rediculous. Ex. N The Speaker. Marriage, my dear sisters, is a huge mistakel Be lieve me, I would not marry the best man in the world t Sweet, Voice (from audience.)

Lenoir people are taking much pride In the raising of fine chick ens, almost all strains of the Jlae birds are represented iA our town; and the County is fast catching on and why not, it cost no more to raise a fine chicken than it does to raise a scrub. The readers of the News, will find advertised in this paper, eggs for sale of several fine breeds -why not Bell off the old domioeck, and get something you will take pride In raising, and that will always find a ready sale, at fair prices; we doubt if there is a town In Western N. O. that can show as many 'fine birds as Le noir and they are increasing rapid ly both in town and in the County. EXAMINATION OF SHEMWELL Twe Doctors Report to tko Governor Tint He Has a Vary cUl Heart. Greensboro Record. When Governor Kitchin was here last week he made arrange ments with two .reputable physici ans of Greensboro to make a minute examination of the condi tion of Baxter 8hem well, who is seeking further clemency at the bauds of the Chief Executive. Governor Kitchin stated that the physicians who hitherto examined him were probably his friends and while their diagnosis may have been correct, still the people want better evidence. The physicians here did not care about the job, but at the earnest solicitation of the Govenor agreed to make, the examination, without, however, charging any fee, though the Gov ernor stated that he wanted to pay tbein. This examination has been made and the result of their findings was sent to Raleigh Saturday. Di vested of the usual terms the re port says that Shemwell has a very bad heart that he has heart murmur aortic regurgitation. There was some evidence of rheu matism, but not enough to do much harm at the lime of the ex amination. His pulse was 93, hich showed something radically wrong, and his temperature was 97. These physicians ask that their names be not used, for the reason that it was private examination, made solely at the urgent request of the Governor. In talking with ihem they are both of the opinion that confine ment in jail for five months will not injure him; in fact that such confinement would do him good, though both say that he is not able to work on the roads and that such work would be detrimental to him. However, the judgment of the court was in jail and not on the roads. Church Notes. There will be special service at 8t James Episcoal church to day continuing from 12 to 3 o'clock The three hours- service is com memorative of the Savior's agony on the cross and will be divided in to eight periods. In case any one can not stay during the entire service, he may leave at the end of any of the shorter periods. Next Sunday the services will appro priate to the day, beginning with Holy Commouion at 7 :30 a. m. and Morning Prayer with Holy com munion at 11 a. m. and evening Prayer at 7:30 p. m. At Zion Reformed church there will be an observance of the Lord's Supper at 11a.m. with a sermon also preaching at 7:30p. m.

Referring to the report of the managers of the Soldiers' Home at Raleigh, The Evening Times finds that it is gratifying in every re spect but oue. ''The Horn",'' says The Times, "is well conducted aud everything that possibly can be done for the inmates oi the home is lieing done. They are being made eointurtabie. Iudtd, one wonders how so much can be done with the funds the institution has to spend. There are now 144 old soldiers in the Home aud while the per capita maintenance is only $114, the annual appropriation to the Home is only 120,000. The State is not spending another 20,- 000 in any of its departments or in stitutions that is being any more judiciously expended than this 120,000. And the State is not spending any money iu a more de serving cause than this of caring for these old citizens who offered themselves for her protection." No one will question the justness of these contentious. But thel ex ception to the report is found in the fact, as noted by The limes, that "more buildings are needed, and needed badly. With the 144 inmates the Home is full and no more can be taken care of. The State has not done its full duty in taking care of those already in the Home, no matter how well and carefully and how tenderly it takes care of them. There are others, and they are coming to the Home in increasing numbers. But there is no place for them." It would seem to be the duty of the next Legislature to come to the relief of this worthy institution. Chamberlain's Stomach and LiTer Tablets are safe, sure and reliable, and have been praised by thousands of women who have been restored to health through their gentle aid and curative properties.

Last week Mr. Jay Keller while out hunting, noticed a large hawk alighting on a tree near bim and not having a gun, like David of Old selected a smooth stone and knocked his hawkship to the ground. His dogs then took a hand, or rather mouth, in the af fair and soon the hawk was dead. It measured four feet from tip to tip and we want to know if any of readers of the news can beat that marksmanship. Mr. E. H.Clay has nearly finish ed his uew dwelling and expects to move into it next week. The Southern Railway is mak- j ss asavasaas gasavso v aiaw u m at this place, which will add much to the convenience of handling the business here.

It Has Bern Frr4 that Microbes Cum Professor Uona of Hamburg, Germany, ainl Dr. Sabourand, the leading French dermatologist, dis covered that a microbe causes bald ness. Their theory has time and again been amply verified through research experiments carried on uud$r the observation of eminent scientists. This microbe lodges iu theSebuo which is the natural hair oil, and when permitted to flourish it destroys the hair follicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on a shiny appearance. When this hap pens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revived. Dandruff is a contagious disease, which is largely due to a destruc tive microbe, which when left to pursue its course causes itching scalp, falling hair and baldness. Dandruff is caused by the microbe affecting the glands which produce the sebaceous matter, which latter then unnaturally dries up and scales off. We have a remedy which will, we honestly believe, remove dan druff, exterminate the' microbe, promote good circulation in the scalp and around the hair roots, tighten and revitalize the hair roots and overcome baldness, so long as there is any life left in the hair roots. We back up this statement with onr own personal guarantee that this remedy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails to do as we state. It will frequently restore gray and faded hair to its original color, providing loss of color has been caused by disease; yet it is in no sense a dye. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic accomplishes these results by making every hair root, follicle aud pigment gland strong and ac tive, and by stimulating a natural flow of coloring pigment through out the hair cells. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic U en tdrely free from grease or sediment, is exceedingly pleasaut to use and will uot gum the hair or perman ently soil the clothiug or pillows. We exact no obligations or prom ise we simply ask you to give it a through trial and if not satisfied tell us and we will it fund the money you paid us for it. Two sizes, prices 50 cents and $1.00.

To the citizens of the town, the prosperity of the town and good feeling among themselves are of more importance than the success of any party in the County, State or nation.
