take you to the hospital to see

Nothing has been seen or heard

father paces the floor in dumb
grief, while the mother moans in
anguish and terror. Both are

held for ransom.
The abductor if such he is is
described as a man of ragged ap
pearance, between forty-five and
fifty years old, weighing about
150 pounds, about 5 feet 11 inches

A Lie and a Lynching
Memphis News Scimitar.
The country has not forgotten
the particularly sensational lynch
ing of 3 negroes at Springfield, Mo.,
a few weeks 'ago.
A Mrs. Edwards reported that
she had been attacked by 2 negroes
after her escort bad been beaten in
to insensibility.
Proof of her story was lacking.
It would have been impossible to
convict the accused men in a
court.
All the more reason, thought the
rough elemenCofthe community
for lynching them.
Quick work was made not only
of the 2 men accused, but of anoth
er negro who fell in the mob's
way.
The grand jury at Springfield
now reports that the woman lied
and was not attacked at all, that
the 2 accused were far away from
the scene of the reported crime at
the time named, and that the sher
iff and police were negligent of
sworn duty in not protecting
them.
Although the innocent victims
of the mob murder have been dead
more than a month, and no repa
ration can be made them, this jury
report is interesting.
A mass meeting is to be held at
Yadkinville July 4th to discuss a
proposed trolly line from Winston
Salem to Yadkinville.

him from bankrupcty, advertise in
his paper liberally. To Have him

of news of which you can get hold.
To save him from profanity write

Eventually.
He said he did not fear the bees,
They knew he was their friend:
He walked" among their hives each
day
With nothing to defend,
And sometimes would sit down on
them.
But he got stung in the end.
Houston Poet
Just as Nice as Ever.
Newton News.
No use to turn up your nose at
potted ham and other canned goods
all at once. It is about as nice
now as it ever was.
Along with the wonderful dis
taste and nausea that has arisen
for potted goods, comes a loud and
clear call for good meats, fresh
meats. The people want fresh,
untainted, pure meats, and they
will be satisfied with nothing else.
Exchange.
If your stomach troubles yon do
not conclude that there is no cure,
for a great many have been perma
nently cured by Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets. Try
them, they are certain to prove bene
ficial. They only cost a quarter. For
sale by J. . Shell, Dr. Kent and
Granite Falls Drug Co.
There are too many girls here of
fifteen or sixteen who should have
their noses buried in school books,
who powder, and curl, and dress,
and act like soubrettes. Their
mothers should get after them
with sharp sticks.
