Highland Recorder. Terms, $1.00 a Year in Advance. lamed er.rv Friday .yeningby "W. K. MATHENY, ?S>tTO? Jk.aT3D ?*?T*MHilt. Kateied at the Monteiey postoffice as second class matter. Monterey, Va., Friday, Dec. 5 , 1902 Must Have the Stamp. The Spain War Revenue Stamp Act, went into effect on the 1st. Hay of July 1898 and the schedule under said act, as to deeds, required stamps to the value of fifty cents for each #500 of the consideration mentioned in the deed or the value of the property conyeyed, to be affixed and cancelled. Deeds in which only a nominal considera? tion is mentioned, the value of the property is the basis for fixing the amount of stain p. Deeds in which the consideration or the value of property conveyed is $100 or less il exempt from stamp tax. On the 1st day of July 1001, the above schedule was changed, ex? empting from stamp tax all deeds in which the consideration or value of property conveyed is $2500.00 or less and for every $500 in excess of $2500.00, the stamp tax is 25cts, and all deeds are exempt on and after 1st day of July 1902. All deeds executed during the time the above act was in eff .ct. must be stamped according to the above schedule before they are recorded, and all documentary stamps having been withdrawn from sale the only way deeds or other instruments can be stamped is to send them to the Internal Revenue Collector at Alexandria with the amount to pay for the necessary stamps, forward? ing also an affidavit to the effect that the failure to stamp the in strument was not with intent to de? fraud the U. S. Government, and further, should you fail to present instrument for post-stamping with? in a year after the date of execution, feel iu your pocket for a Ten Dol? lar bill with which to pay the pen? alty which will inevitably have to be forthcoming. A Cold Wave The forecast of sudden changes in the weather serves notice that a hoarse yoice and a heavy cough may invade the sanctity of health in your own home. Cautious peo? ple haye a bottle of Oue Minute Cough Cure always at hand. E H Wise, Madison, Ga., writes: ''I am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my present good health, and probably my life." It cures coughs, colds, lagrippe, bronchitis, pneumonia and all throat and lung troubles. One Minute Cough Cure cuts the phlegm, draws out the in? flammation, heals and soothes the mucous membranes and strength? ens the lungs. K H Trimble. M.D. Valley Center Items. Noy.25, 1902. Mrs G.

Judge Fuller and Judge Waddill Go Against Wise. Chief Justice Fuller this after? noon refused to grant the writ of injunction asked by John S. Wine against the state board of canvas? sers to prevent their canvassing the ballots cast for congressmen. The court took the ground that it had no jurisdiction, saying "The pro? ceeding is, in effect, against the commonwealth, which is in any view, an indispensible party, and cannot be such, and the matter be? ing political, cannot be dispcsed of in such a proceeding." Judge Waddill, who sat with the chief justice, concurred as a legal proposition, but expressed the opin? ion that the laws are unjust in this regard. Mr Wise gave notice of appeal to the supreme court of the Unite! States. On the Bullpasture. New Salem, Dec. 1?Thanksgiv? ing we regret to say, passed off much the same as any other day. Rev J C Johnson held services in the Presbyterian church at Mc? Dowell. Mr J Ed Arbogast of Monterey has been chasing with some of the river boys. Do not think Mr Ed is a successful deer hunter at all, he seems to take more interest in hunting dears. Rev JUN Cobb of Nebraska preached two yery able sermons at this place on last Sunday. Mr. Cobb was warmly welcomed and his sermons highly appreciated by those who knew him in his boy? hood days.

"After my first baby was bom I did not mm to regain my strength although the doctor gave me a tonic which he consid? ered very superior, hut instead ci getting better I grew weaker every day. My hus band insisted that 1 take Wine of Cardui for a week and see what it w?uld do for me. I did take the medicine end wa. very grateful to find my strength and health slowly returning. In two wc ,!:s I was out of bed and In a month 1 was ebie to take up my usual duties. I am very enlhush astic in its praise." Wine of Cardui reinforces theorgans of generation for the ordeal of preg? nancy and childbirth. It prevents mis? carriage. No woman who takes \Y hie of Cardui need fear the coming of her child.
