The people of the Aratt section, which is located about ten miles from this 'city, were greatly terrified last by them.

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH. Special to The Observer. Morgauton. April 7. News is received here today of a pitiful fa tility which befell the wife of Al fred Berry, living 2 miles from Ooouellys Springs, a few days ago. Berry aud his wife were prepariug a new ground for farming purposes when his wife's clothing caught on fire and despite the heroic efforts of the husband to extinguish the flames she vas so badly burned that death followed closely. Ber ry himself was painfully burned in trying to save his wife from such a horrible death' and was carried to the hospital for treatment.

Editor Lenoir News: Please accept a little contribu tion from Hoosierdom the home of James Whitcomb Eiley and famed fpr its men with "billy goat" whiskers and political aspirations. Everything now looks lovely, win ter broke thirty-six days ago and we haven't had an "ugly" day since. March was an ideal month. It came in like a lamb and went out the same way, the proverbial lion never showed himself. He was either afraid of Teddy or went South during the winter. Farmers are well up with their work, gardens are planted and growing tine pastures are green. Hens are cackling, little chicks are leathering, llus reminds us that high priced meat must come down or go in cold storage. Our cities here have two strikes on now. lhe leather workers and tobacco stemmers. The stemmers are being led by two New Albany girls-, several riots have occurred a number have beeu hurt but no one killed. The tobacco trust will pay some of those workers the sum of tweuty five cents per day and then expect them to pay present prices for living expenses and be satisfied. They aught to rea 1 the 5th chap ter of the Epistle of James. Col. Roosevelt is a skillful hunt er, he yagged all kinds or game from the elephant down to some little nameless animals but just at a time when he was bathed in glory when he had reached the zenith when we were all ready to shout eureka. He once more drew his bow at a venture the shot went wild. This very important animal's name is Pins and he has his lair in the Vatican at Borne. vv e nave a suited bird here in Indiana who is now at home with his leathers all turned the wrong way from a similar adventure with the same animal. Serves them right, No free Americau aught to kiss the toe of an loreign ecclesiatic, or native either, an angel refused worship from John the Reveleter, telling him to worship God. In the in stallatiou of a certniu dignitary here the ladies would kneel be fore him ou the street and kiss the rinir he wore. The lower orde of the clergy worshiped him kneeling and he accepted it. The same even ing a bauquet was given at the largest hotel in the city fine liquors flowed in abundance and he also accepted that. I learned grafting nearly twenty vears ago, on the farm. Now a man learus it atter he move to town aud gets elected to an office. This is proven by recent developments in some of our larger cities. The me oi white shirt front in Pittsburg is . . . ana one hall day. This smoae ana soot seems to have penetrated little deeper in some of the officials The superstitions here are beginlug to pray the prayer that was utter ed seventy five years ago "Deliver us from the Devil and the comet. Some are going to make their houses air tight to shut out the gas when we pass though the "tail", others shudder at the thought. The Psalmist says The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork" how true. The earth will soon receive a greater baptism than we anticipate when we come uear this comet. God has given us the glass through which we may may view its approach. Very few seem disposed to look. May God help us. Tours Respectfully, J. A, Downs. Your red letter dayi will get to be dead letter daya if you mistake activity for work. AMERICAN EXTRAVAGANCE. Does the average American fam ily throw away enough every day to set the table ot a family in al most any other country! Walter Graham, im The New York Ob server, tells how he recently made a practical test of his ofteu repeat ed s tat men t and devoted several days to the uot highly agreeable task of vistiog aud iuspecting New York garbage cans. Everywhere he says, be found the same thing; that enough is thrown away every day in New York to feed the starv ing iu North China and India. The waste, as Mr. Graham found it, is uot only among the rich. In garbage caus of course, he found evidene to give points to the story of the janitor who said that he did not know anything about the new family that mjved iu except that it had "mighty swell swill". Mr. Graham says it is past beliif what one finds iu the sarbage caus of the upper West aud East sides. Large pieces of high-priced meats, chicken's, read, rolls, almost fresh from the bakery; vegetables of every variety, all of which would furnish a royal least for the bread- ners, weie everything not spoiled n the general mush. But Mr. Graham found con ditions not different on the poly glot. East Side, iu zones of sup posed economic poverty, where every penny counts. In every can and barrel was enough bread particularly, to feed a hungry fam ily larger poitions of those mam moth eight-pound cart-wheel loav es to which the sons of Italy are so partial, large chunks ol rye or black bread, whole loaves in fairly good condition half buried in debris of tomatoe cans, old shoes and medicine bottles. Mr.Gra ham says here is only another proof how quickly the newly arrived im migrant imitates American ways. Pecular People. That is what Christians are to be. But it does not mean that they are to be cranks with curious uotious and dogmatic opinions. All through the ages there have been these long-haired fanatics looking for the end of the world, or claiming to be so much better than others that they must with draw from the poisonous atmos phere of this waste ani howling wilderness aud live apart from men. But Christians must le pe culiar in that they are distinct from the common run of mankind. The prodigal was not peculiar he was just like the rest until he came to himself and arose a new man and started for his father's house. From that time on he was peculiar. The proposed change in the general rules of the Method ist church having as its object the "broadening" and "modernizing" of the views of conduct is a case in point. We hope the General Con ference will knock the life out of this innocent looking little project There is a large and growing ele ment in all our c'liirches that look with disfavor on the rigid rules of 'our churclii's with regard, f r ins tance, to certain social customs. hey claim that these rules were made in primitive days and that they ought to be changed to meet the changed conditions. But hu man nature does not change, nor do the prohibitions and commands . . . . . . . . - ol the Bible. 1 hey are the same WOMEN'S HAT TOO LARGE. Washington, April 7. Women's hats have been growing larger and arger every year. They have also been growing lighter and lighter in weight. So that now a woman hat weighs less and takes up more room than ten did years ago. A freight ur an express car will hold only a tenth it once did and the carriers raided the rates tomakeup the difference. That is the answer of the railroad and express compaines to the com plaits of the Millinery Jobbers' As sociatiou which we beard before the I nterstate Com merce Com mision today The milliners say the rates are too high and the carriers say the evolution of the head gear sim ply made them put on the increase Murphey, April 3.

FOR CATARRH. through all the changes of the ages ndeed as civilization advances aud prospentv mcreases there is all the more need lor the restrain ng Influence of the gosptl upou the hearts and lives of men. An educated bad man is much more dangerous thau one who is unlet tered; and a modern, lashiouable, worldly, wealthy church is capable of doing vastly more harm thau the little church of the backwoods whose members get drunk aud scrap occasionally. The teudeney of the modern church member is not to be peculiar. He prefers the spirit of the world because it is his native air. He sneers at the "mourner's bench" at theold time revival and rebels against the rules that forbid the fast aud furious conduct of the worldling. We are sorry to say that we know a few prominent Baptists who "cuss" like sailors and who feel much more at home in a theatre than they do in a revival. They ought to be turned out of the church at the very first conference meeting. We are becoming conformed to the world, brethren, and we need to stop and think about where we are drifiting. It is far better for a church to have fifty members who are living clean lives than five hundred the majority of whom are in no wise different from the world around them. Charity and Child ren. Meiicine Free in Every Cue Where It Fail to Relieve. Neglect or pessimism, we believe is the greatest enemy the public has to contend with when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Practically every case of consump tion might have been cured if hope had been maintained and proper treatment had baen resorted to at the first symptom of the disease. Until the advanced stage is reached consumption is curable. Catarrh is responsible, we believe, for many cases of consumption. It is about catarrh we want to talk to you to-day, incidentally consump tion, since the two are so closely allied. We have a medicine made from a prescription of one of the most successful catarrh specialists known We believe it is positively without an equal. We are so satisfied that we are right, that we will supply the medicine free iu every instance where it is used accerdii.g to direc tions for a reasonable length of time should it fail to give satis faction in every particular. We want every one to try this medi cine at our risk. There are no con ditions attached to our offer. We put the nser under no obligation to us whatever. The medicine we want you to try is Rexall Mucu-Tone. It is a catarrh remedy that goes direct to the seat of trouble. It is carried,by the blood to every part of the sys tem. It purifies and enriches the blood, tones up the mucous cells, and brings about a condition of health and strength that teuds to prevent the germs of consumption from getting a start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh builder. Its good effects are often felt from the very first dose. It is one of the largest and most satis factory seiliug medicines that we have ever had anything to do with We know so much of the great good that it has done that we per sonally back it up with our reputa tiou and money, which fact should be ample guarantee to satisfy any body. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50 cents and f 1.00. We urge you to try it. Remmber you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Le noir only at our store, The Rex all Store. The Lenoir Drug Co. Whenever a farmer gets money in the bank and begins advertis ing something improved seed or hogs or cattle or poultry he be comes a business farmer inaeea. And a business farmer is as genu inely a "business man" as a mer chant o r banker. Progressive Farmer. I am sorry for the preacher that has got so low down in his theo logy that he is trying to establish the fact that there is no hell. I know of men trying to establish the fact that there is no hell. A gentleman said to me a few days ago that the fact was nearly estab lished. 1 said to him: "When did yon start your exploring party down there, and when will they return to report!" 6am Jones. Baakiaa Nebraska Towa Robbed ol $10,000, Omaha, Neb., April 4. The National bank, of Randolph, Neb., was last night dynamited and rob bed of $10,000 in gold and currency The robbery was commited by three masked men, who afterwards escaped.

The Watauga Democrat says: "On Friday night last a crowd of dogs attacked the fine herd of sheep of B. J. Councill on his mountain farm near town and dam aged it, Mr. Councill says, at least $50. The same night the fl x:ks of Dr. I ittle and F. A. Linney on Rich mountain were raided and considerable damage done by the ravenous curs. The farmers of this country are so thoroughly at the mercy of the dogs that Mr. Coun cill, in perfect disgust, sold the re mainder of his thorough-bred flock, and says he will not again enter the sheep business until there is some law to protect them from the worthless dogs." (Why not Watauga County e lect one of these men to the Legis lature and let them make a strong effort to pass a lav protecting the sheep industry. It's too bad to have good men driven out of the sheep business on account of worth less dogs. News.) Won Thaa Ballets. Bullets have often eaused lesa tuf fertnv to soldiers than the eczeina. L. W.
