LUCY COBB GIRLS
TO POT ON PLAY,
Bat Doesn't It Look ReesooeMe?
This may rend as though wo were put
ting it a little strong, beoanse it is gen
erally thought by the majority of people
that Dyspepsia in lta ohronio form is
inourable or praotioally so. Bat we
have long since shown that Dyspepsia is
durable, nor is it such a difficult matter
as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptios is that
they are oontinually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite extreme
or else deluging the already over bar
dened stomach with "bitters” "al
dinner pills,” etc., whloh invariably
orease the difficulty even If in sc
oaaes they do give a slight temporary
relief. Such treatment of the. stomach
simply makes matters worse. What
stomaoh wants is a resit. Now how oan
the stomaoh beoome rested, recuperated
and at the same time the body, .now*
ished and snatalued.^
This is a great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform snooess of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is
a comparatively n*w remedy bat Itb
snooem and popularity leaves .no doubt
as to its merit.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of .oonditlan of stomaoh.
The sufferer from dyspepsia according
to directions, is to eat an abundance of
good wholesome food and use tfae tab
lets before and after each meal and the
result will be that the food will be di-
gested no matter how bad your Dyspep
sia may be. because* as before stated,'
the tablets will digest the food even if
the stomaoh is wholly lnaotive. To
illustrate our meaning plainly, !! you
take 1,800 grains of meat, eggs1 dr ordi
nary food and plaoe it ii* a temperature
of 98 degrees, and pot with it one of
Btnart’s Dyspepsia Tablets it Wlli digest
the meat or eggs almost ss perfectly as
if the meat was enclosed within the
stomaoh.
The etomaoh may be ever so weak yef
these tablets will perform the^
digestion and the body and 'brain
be properly nourished and st the sattttf
time a radical, lasting enre of Dyspepsia
Will be made beoanse the mifoh’MJttlfifil'
stomaoh will be given, to joiqe extent, a
• much needed rest. Y

the school’s advancement.

This reformation has began and 'in a

education will be revolutionised.
At all times Mr. Branson’s whole

there is the least thing to be done.

OUH ACCIDENTALLY
AND NEGRO BOY WAS KILLED.
Bod Hargrove, a fifteen year old ne
gro boy was ahot and killed Friday af
ternoon, near Winterville, by Arthur
Neely, colored, age eighteen years.
The shooting was purely accidental,
and happend while the two boys were
out huntfog.
They came to a ditob which both at
tempted to jump. In making the jump
Neely’s gun was discharged.
The entire load of bird shof tore
through the head of the other negro
who was directly in front. He evidently
did not know what strnok him. Death
waa instantaneous.
The killing soon became known and
tho facts were investigated, all of which
gonvinoed the people that Neely was
blameless in the matter.
