I had bad pains in my sides and back and iny legs hurt me until I couldn’t walk. I stayed in bed half the time. I tried all kinds of medicine, but it did mo no good. Finally I tried 01 Hie Woman’s Tonic "It seems like it did me good from the very first. After I had taken half a bottle I no ticed an improvement. I con tinued its use and I got bel ter and better. The pains in my logs and sides disap peared and I began to gam in weight until now I weigh 155 pounds and feel better than I ever did in my life. I am perfectly well and strong. I have given it to my girls, too.” Cardui has relieved many kinds of pains and distress ing symptoms caused by fe male trouble. It should help you, too, in the same way.

The bride end groom entered the room together, to the strains of Lohengrin’s Wedding march, which was very capably ren dered by Miss Bertha Farrar, sister of the groom. Rev. W. D. Poe of South Hill. Va., pastor of the bride, officiated in this wedding, making the happy pair man and wife. The ceremony took place in the presence of the families of the bride and groom alone, making of the occasion a most solemn and touching one. The parlor of the bride’s home was resplendent in holly, ferns, and run ning cedar. The arch was formed of green and white decoration paper, with a mass of ferns for a background The candles and firelight threw lovely reflections upon the scene. Miss Farrar appeared at her best in a tailored dress of duvetyn. The bride was very becomingly gowned in turquoise blue satin trimmed in im itation pearls. She wore a string of pearls, gift of the groom, as her only i ornament. Before leaving, the bride changed into a navy blue traveling dress and a heavy, reindeer tan coat trimmed in fur, arid ether accessor ies to match, Mr. anti Mrs. Farrar left immedi ately on their honeymoon to be gone several week-'. They will go by Ral eigh, Columbia, Savannah and other important places en route to Florida. The most of their trip will be spent in visiting the winter resorts of Flor ida.

Her many childhood friends of western North Carolina will be glad to hear of this happy marriage. RUSH STROUP Attorney at LaM Royster Building Phone 514. I EGG IDEA FOR lUJ Only Half F.if? for Karb Person in Prcdurcd in North Carolina, Says Expert. Im recent years Cleveland county has hecoir*> quite n poultry center and the farm folks of the county with n i large iucome from their poultry can j hardly realise how the "industry” is minimized over the state. With so many eges end chickens here that the county derives n coed bit of its in come from shipping poultry product;: elsewhere it is quite n surprise to learn that North Carolina as a whole does not produce enough eggs for healthy living: conditions. That the hen population of the state numbers onlv six million, one half million of which are in city back lots, is only item in the following: interesting story dispatched from Raleigh: North Carolina is producing: only enough eggs for its population to have j about half an egg per person per day,1 finds V. W. Lewis, livestock marget ing specialist for the state division of markets, who has been making some j inquiry into the conditions affecting the marketing of eggs. Mi. Lewis j states that our hon population now numbers six million, according to the best statistics that he is able to get together. There hrh nbout five and one-half million hens on the farms and the other half million are to he found in the back lota of city and town dwellers. About eleven per cent of these hens are aristocrats—that is, they are of blooded line of pure bred standard birds. Such hens will lay an average of 170 eggs per year, it is said. The remaining 80 per cent belong to the poletriat, anti will pro duce. so the estimates say only a measly 85 eggs per year. “Now,” says Mr. Lewis, “eleven per cent of six million hens is 600,000 hens that will lay 170 eggs each per year. This gives us 112,200,000 eggs from this source. The remaining 5. 340.000 hens will lay only 85 eggs each per year or a total of 453,900,000 This will make a grand total of 566, 100.000 eggs available as food for the 2,559,123 people in North Carolina. It seems that we have only 221 eggs per person -per year, or a little more than half an egg per day. | “But we don't get all these eggs. | Some of them rot, some ere set, some 1 are used in cakes, and others in cook i ery, so we have to import a lot of cold j storage eggs to take their place. We j still have room for tlm further devel | opment of our poultry industry along j the lines advanced by Dr. B. F. Kaupp i end A. G. Oliver. We need more stand | ard bred farm flecks and 'better or i ganization in marketing, j “One man in Shelby stored 1,500 eases of eggs last spring, paying only 121 cents per dozen for them. He is now getting 38 cents per dozen whole sale and making a net profit of 17 cents on each dozen. There are thiry dozen to the case. A farsighted man in North Wilkesboro stored several hundred cases of eggs in Wilmington last spring when eggs were cheap at a cost of 20 cents per dozen. He paid SC per case for the eggs, and a local bank advanced him per case so he had only one dollar of his own mo ney actually ip the eggs. Now he is selling his eggs for twice the amount paid. “Our farmers must remember that one egg in November- is worth three in April or May and we need to or ganize small community clubs for poultry and get busy on working out the details of a profitable poultry in dustry.” Hens needs exercise in winter. Keep plenty of fresh litter on the floor so that they must scratch for the grain. Tom Tarheel says that the folks down this way step on the gas and don’t have time to read the billboards, but they do take the paper home and read it carefuly. Benin and Itonlah DUtriftw loin Waco hy Overwhelming Majority. Two School Medals Awarded. (Special to The Star.) Waco, Dec. 29.—In a game o’ bns ket-ball between the Union ami Waco schools played on our ground on the , afternoon of Friday December 10th the Waco quintet was victor in a 27-10 i score. The annual mid-year declamation and recitation contest held on the ev ening of December the 19th was par-! ticinated in by three boys and six girls. Each contestant acquitted him- ! self well, but Allen Whitworth and Clark Hord were declared the win ners and were awarded gold medals. | Saturday December the 20th was a red-letter day in the history of the school. The vote on the question of the consolidation of the Beam, Beu lah and Waco schools was overwhelm ir.glv in favor of consolidation. Of a total registration of 175 voters 118 cast their votes in favor of consoli dation, thus giving a majority of 51. In this way the future of the Waco .-chool is assured. It is only a ques tion of a year or two until the Saint Paul district will have be-n added to this school. This is the plan of the state and countv board? of education. For a number of years the high school oupils of this district have been com ing to Waco and at present nearly half of the pupils of the elementary grades of that community are in schoo* at Waco. Surely, the day of the one-teacher school is doomed. And why not ? Be cause the following advantages can be had in the consolidated school that are impossible in the one-teacher school: 1 —Better grading: 2—More attention to the individual needs of pupils: 3—Better buijdings; 4—Better trained teachers; &•—Better prepara tion for doing high school work. (Our observation has been that pupils train ed in schools where the teachers have only one or two grades to teach are much better prepared for high school work than where one or two teachers have the whole seven grades of the elementary school to teach) Surely if education is worth while, narents want their children to have the best obtainable. On Saturday evening December 20 our entire school community enjoyed an evening of fun at the school. Chief among the events were an oyster sup per, Christmas tree for the school children, cake walk, and pretty girls’ contest for a cake. In the cake walk contest Messrs. M. C. Whitworth. Ez ra Miller, and Miss Margaret Moss were winners. In the pretty girls’ contest for the cake there was quite a bit of wholesome rivalry. In this contest Miss Zelma Hord was the winner, with Miss Maude Ava llord a close second. On Tuesday December 23rd school closed for the ChVistmas holidays. It will reopen Monday January 5. r HATS RE-NEWED Ncnv method. Hats French Dry Cleaned and Blocked by Steam___ H. LEE SMITH Speedy Service By Mail. SPARTANBURG, S. C NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
