As he' came out the two in hiding caught him and undertaken to administer what they termed a whipping. They knocked and dragged him along the road to a neighbor’s house nearhy, where he got away from them. They then fled without doing much at the joh they had undertaken. He identi fied one of the men and had an ar rest made Saturday morning. They were from Campbell county. The trouble grew out of a fuss between children at school. We surely oppose a mob of this kind and think anybody who would take part in such an affair ought to suffer the penalty of the law. In Memory of Mr. Tom Farr.

Tom Farr, went to its home above, where God will grant him eternal life and joy as a reward for the true Chris tian life he lived on earth. Bro. Farr was born June 19th, 1843. He was in his seventy-seventh year. He had been a member of the Rock Baptist church about thirty-five years. He was ever ready to stand up for Jesus and often said he wasn’t tired work ing for his Master. 1-Ie was true to his Christ, and such a Christian as he was makes this world better and brighter and inspires the ungodly to desnre the knowledge of a Savior. His going away was sudden and un expected, though feeble in health. Just a few hours before his death he was talking to friends and seemed to he as well as usual, but we have the sweet assurance of knowing that he was ready for his Lord’s coming, Oh, how sweet it must have been to have met those loved oAes who have gone on before. What a grand thought to think that he is not dead, but is enjoying the rest of life eternal on that beautiful heavenly shore, where there will be no more parting, sick ness pain nor death. Sad, indeed to part with friends and loved ones, but we feel that our loss is heaven’s eter nal gain. We have so many loved ones over in that better land resting from journeying, only a few more conflicts, and if faithful, the banner of victory shall wave along the eter nal shore and all may then unite with Bro. Farr and those gone bofer and sing praisees to our Redeemer. His body was laid to rest in Hope- well cemetery to wait the resurrection morn. Bro. Farr leaves a host of friends and relatives to mourn his death. Loved ones, we would say to you, live the life that he lived and you one day shall clasp hands once more on the shode of life eternal. Resolved: That we, the Rock Bap tist church, extend to the bereaved ones our heartfelt sympath; be it Further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to his bereaved ones and a copy be sent to The Fayetteville Nws for publication.

Sams went to Hampton Thursday. Mr. E. M. Roberts is quite sick at this writing. An unfair man can hardly he trust ed. He is not fair to himself, for as a rule, it is not the man himself who is acting, but the man with a preju dice or indifference, or hatred, in control. He is not fair to others—for he will, as a rule, see the weaknesse in man, and not the strength; remembers the faults and not the virtues; recall the failures and not he victories; he will impose a burden instead of lifting one. Fairness is a virtue which might well he cultivated by all. It would right many wrongs, lift many bur dens, prevent many misunderstand}- ings, and make the whole human fam ily happier. Be fair to the poor and the rich; the fortunate and the unfortunate; the weak and'the strong. BE FAIR to God. Test His prom ises before you cast them aside. Ful fill His conditions before you can de ny His power. Practice His teach ings before you deny His existence. BE FAIR to Chris. Prove that He did not exist before you slight Him. Give an explanation for His marvel ous influenhce before you say He was only a man. Find something else which will do better in the time of weakness, failure and sin, before you reject Him and His Word. BE FAIR to the Bible. Read it be fore you turn from it. Try it before you resist it. Live it before you give it up. Explain its marvelous sale be fore you put in on a plane with other books. BE FAIR! And you will be a bet ter and truer man, a more consistent Christian. Life will then be worth while. DEATH NEED NOT BE FEARED, and Eternity will only be the completion of what was started here.

How the red-blooded, energetic, and attractive man or woman is envied by those who feel that it will always be their unfortunate lot to be thin, pale, and weak-bodied! And yet why continue to envy men and women who possess a vigorous healthy physical condition and an at tractive, magnetic personality? Poor health and lack of vitality are often merely the result of imporverished blood. Gude’s Pepto-Mangan is for people whose bodies suffer from lack of proper blood nourishment. Pepto- Mangan enriches the blood and in creases the number of healthy red blood cells, which are so necessary to carry the proper nourishment, vig orousness and strength to every part of the body. Physicians introduced Gude’s Pep to-Mangan to the public because they kenw that it contained the very prop erties that are so sorely needed to build up thin, watery blood. For your convenience Pepto-Mangan is prepar ed in two forms, liquid and tablet. Both contain exactly t the same medi cinal value. Insist on the genuine Pepto-Mangan. To be sure you are buying the genuine Pepto-Mangan, ask your druggist for “Gude’s”. And be sure the nam^ “Gude’s” is on the paskage. MONTCLAIR SCOUT MOTHERS Mothers’ work in relation to scout ing first began in Montclair, N. J., with the Baden-Powell troop in 1910. It lias proved a great help in securing intelligent and sympathetic co-opera tion. They even have mothers’ classes in regular scouting, through which the mothers not only discover the real genius of scouting, but the many ways in which it is a help ip the home life, and the great importance of close co operation. The fathers and mothers of the scouts meet jointly in many cases. The Central Town Scout Mothers are made up of appointees from each of the troop mothers and others who may desire to be connected. The troop mothers meet monthly. The town mothers meet quarterly. They also help on camp kitchen equipment, out fitting the camp hospital and other mother work. The father and son work is one of their specialties, and it is chiefly fos tered through tlie camp spirit. They often have as many as twenty fathers with the scouts for week-ends or for vacation camping. Instead of kalsomine or wallpaper FRENCH SCOUTS’ GREETINGS.

The noble work of the French boy scouts is strongly cementing the feel ing between the khaki-clad lads of both countries. A further instance ;f the growing fondness which the boys of the allied countries are finding for each other is seen in (he following letter which has just been received by President Colin H. Livingstone of the Boy Scouts of America: “I take great pleasure in forwarding the following message addressed to you by General Secretary Beigbeder of the Association of the Eclaireurs Union- isles Frnncaise: “ ‘The Eclaireurs Unionistes of Paris in their annual meeting attend ed by M. Tardieu, general commission er of the Franco-American affairs, and by delegates to the new section of the Eclaireurs Unionistes of Alsace, send to their brother scouts of Ameri ca their heartiest greetings.’ "M.

At the death of a person In Switzer land the family inserts a formal, black- edged announcement in the papers asking for sympathy, and stating that tiic “mourning-urn” will be ex hibited during certain hours on a special day. In front of the house where the person died there is placed little black table covered with a black cloth, on which stands a black jar. Into this the friends of the fam ily drop little black-margined visiting cards, sometimes with a few words of sympathy on them. The urn is put on the table on the day of the funeral. Only men over go to the church yard, ninl then generally follow the hearse on foot. With a Grill Made of Hornbeams He Gets Along Without Utensils. SCOUTS FIGHT FOREST FIRFS. Three disastrous forest fires near Reading, Pa., swept over an area of 300 acres of fine timberland. The first was discovered on Neversink moun tain. and was extinguished by the aid of the boy scouts, but not before a number of trees were destroyed. The second blaze started early in the evening on the Hartman tract. Word was sent to the boy scout ex ecutive in Reading, and lie immediate ly left with scouts of Troops Seven tnd Eleven for the scene. The boys could not do much in the way of eheck- ; the onrush of the flames, owing to the holes which were dug on these tracts by prospectors for minerals. Starting along the state highway, flames swept up tho side of the Blue mountain. The Hamburg boy scouts wore early on the scene and rendered valuable assistance in checking the onward rush of the flames. BOY SCOUT FIRE FIGHTERS. The troop of boy scouts in Esparto, Cal., had their first real test of their value to the community when a fire cal! came. Just 40 minutes after Lowell Rus sell, assistant leader for tho Curlew patrol, received word, there were 22 fire fighters on their way to the hills, where t he fire had already broken into tho underbrush and was spreading quite rapidly on the Logwood range. The hardest fighting took place where the underbrush was quite dense.

Quicksilver is one of 1 he semi-pre cious metals, and is gradually becom ing scarce. Tlie metal Is noted for its many uses, besides the familiar one in the thermometer. Its. tendency to unite with gold into an amalgam causes its chief use. The mercury is spread over a copper plate over which the gold ore is washed. The gold from its weight comes in contact with tlie plate and is promptly amalgamated with the quicksilver, from which it is separated by heat. Quicksilver is also known for its use as a medicine when rubbed to a fine, globular powder with rose wa ter, under the name of blue mass. Among tlie chemical compounds of quicksilver is bichloride of mercury, made by heating a mixture of mer curic sulphate and common salt. This is sometimes taken as a poison and results in painful and lengthy suffer ing and in death. Quicksilver is also very essential to the manufacture of high-class mirrors. GREAT SOLDIERS POOR SHOTS Rather. Mary Bickford said at a Los An geles tea: “Some people try to tell you that beauty doesn’t count for much in the movie world. Well, such talk is rot.” Miss Bickford smiled and added: “A girl can’t help her looks, but her looks can help her.” Neither Napoleon Nor Wellington Could Have Qualified as Marks men, Even in Slow Company. Wellington, the “Iron Duke.” fre quently stayed at Mnresfield park, the estate in Sussex, owned by I’rinco Munster von Dernburg. Sir John Shelley named Mnresfield park in Wel lington’s time, and Lady Shelley re cords in her diary a woeful exhibition by the duke during one of his visits. "I accompanied the guns in the after noon,” site writes on Septembers, 1819. “The hero of Waterloo was a very wild shot. After wounding a retriever and later on peppering a keeper's gaiters, lie sprinkled the bare arms of an old woman who chanced to tie washing clothes at her cottage win dow. ‘M.v good woman,’ I said, ‘this ought to he tho proudest moment of your life. You have had the distinc tion of being'shot by the duke of Wel lington.’ . . . Tier face was wreathed in smiles as the contrite duke slipped a gold coin into her hand.” Wellington shared his weakness ns a poor shot with Napoleon, whose sole bag was a dog the only time lie went out game shooting.” Two Reasons for Complaint. “Were you annoyed because I sharp ened a pencil with your razor?” asked the wife. “Twice.” replied the patient hus band. “After I liad given up trying to shave I tried to write with the pen cil.”—London Answers. - A Health-Building Cereal GrapesNuts A satisfying food* greatly pleasing to taste, full of° rich nourishment and ready to eat without cooking.
