Attorney L. D. Lowe, of Ban

longpr than any one else, brou't
The Democrat two of the Rolls
Jenette variety, one raised in
1916 the other in 1917, and it is
rather hard to tell which of the
two was the oiler, so perfectlv
has it kept He says that oftener
than otherwise he has old fruit
when the new crop comes in.
Our townsman, Mr. W. C.
Coffey, who has always bpen an

offering. The gift is a right hand
some one, and the good citizen,

be commended for his liberality
to those who are unable to care

C. G. Gilreath, both of the-Bor-oughs
in Wilkes county, and re-
spective candidates for the nom
ination for Judge in this dis
trict, have been in town this
wet k shaking hands with former
friends and making others. The
gentlemen are both fine lawyers
aud let the honor .fall where it
may, the judicial ermine will be
worn with dignity, reflecting cred
it upon the wearer and honor
upon the district and State.
Friend Tom Greene, of Stony
Fork, was in to see us Manday,
and remarked that last week he
bad a Mr. Hutt, brother of the
State Ilorticulturalist in Ral
eigh, in his fine young orchard of
more than 1,000 bearing apple
trefS, teaching him pruning, etc.
He was delighted to hear his pre
ceptor say thathia was the fin
est he knew of in the State, with
a bit rnore pruning. Quit a nice
compliment, 4'om.
J. C. and Mrs. Fletcher came
over from Lenoir Sunday, and
found, to their surprise, that
some party or parties had, du
ring their absence, entered their
home by a back door and took
therefrom flour, bacon, and oth
er Household neceessities. The
door was .still unlocked, Bnd the
pilferers had "gone through" ev-
en the bureau d rawers, and the
contents was scattered. Natural
ly they are much provoked, and
Mr. Fletcher intimates that he
will pay a liberal reward for the
apprehension of the guilty par
ties.
Monday's reports that were
flasht-d over the wins to the ef
fect that the Allies were achiev
ing victory after victory, and
killingand capturingGermans by
hundreds of thousands, have not
been corroborated by anything
later, and, it seems, in the main,
that it was untrue, and how such
over-drawn stuff can get upon
.the. wire 8 of tbe great telegraph
companies of the country isjn
deed a mystery. The long talked-
ed-of German offensive is on no
doubt ubout that, and the Allies
are doing vuliant and telling
fighting, the Germans paying a
heavy toll in casualties, out no
official report as to the number
slain and captured, has been giv
en out. They are holding their
lines uubrokeu, and there is noth
ing at all discouraging in the
war situation, but Monday's
reports were evidently wrong.
A Thought'
for the Mother
CONSTIPATION makes children
uncomfortable,, cross and irritable,
just as it does older people. Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is a mild, pleasant tasting
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, that acts easily and natur
ally and promotes normal regularity.
Children like it and take it willingly.1
It contains no opiate or narcotic drug.

PERUNA in Your Home
A housewife must give the first aid in colds, coughs and

saves a serious illness. Her experience with remedies has led
her to know that PERUNA is always reliable, that she should
have it on hand for the immediate treatment of coughs and
colds, and that it is always to her
