It has been learned that Mr.
George W. Fisher, a prominent
farmer of this county, claims
that he is the rightful owner to
the property now occupied by the
Toxaway Company and that he
will bring suit against the com
pany for the recovery of same.
Fisher's claim to the property is
based on the fact that when the
deed was obtained from his
brothers, he was in the asylum
at Morganton and that he did
not sign the papers nor did any
one who was legally acting as his
guardian, for there was no guard
ian appointed for him and in this,
the records show him to be
right;

Ike Frus, tm tour's Best Friend.
In a public meeting in Alaba
ma recently, a member of the
Farmers' Union spoke right out
and told to his audience who he
considered the farmers' best
friend and gave wholesome ad- 5
vice. He said:
"As a rule the farmers ha no
firmer friend than the press. The
home paper is distinctly the
farmer's own paper, supported
dirercly by farmers who com
pose the backbone of the sub
cription list of the printer and
largely for what the enterprising
merchants advertisises. Now
bretheren, let us not forget to
see that our subscription is paid
a year in advance. We can do it.
"The man or paper that fights
my battles shall have my support.
Another thing, the merchants ad
vertising are the ones that make
it possible for us to get a good
home paper' The man or local
firm that is too penurious to ad
vertise and help support the local
press has no right to the farmer's
patronage,
"I promise hereafter to go to
the live advertisers and the man
who does his share supporting the
local press, thus contributing to
my support, rather than buy of a
man who purposes to take all
give nothing back. If farmers
as a class would support their
friends, the other fellow would
soon get out of business, "Ex.

After
La Grippe
"I had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. It felt as
though there was a heavy weight"
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. I was so nervous that
I could not rest or sleep. When
I dozed off I would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits."
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. H.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc
Dr. Miles'
Reatorative Nervine
should be taken for some time
to thoroughly restore nerve

Or. Mites' Nervtne It sold by all drug
gists. If the first bottle does not benefit,
your druggist will return your money.
