We have seen big watermelons,
turnips and pumpkins but we have
never before seen any raddish that
equaled in length, the one shown
us a few days ago by Mr. H. D.
Perkins. It is about a foot in
length and was raised here in town
by him. Mr. Perkins informed us
that he had plenty more of the:
same tenor, and would have them
for some time if the boys didn’t
take them to be watermelons.

It is possible to obtain relief
from chronic indigestion and dy
spepsia by the use of KODOL FOR
DYSPEPSIA. Some of the most
hopless cases of long standing have
yielded to it. It enables you to di
gest the food you eat and exer
cises a corrective influence, build
ing up the efficiency of the diges
tive organs. The stomach is the
boiler wherein the steam is made
that keeps up your vitality, health
and strength. Kodol digests what
you eat, makes the stomach sweel
—puts the boiler in condition to dc
the work natur3 demands of it—
gives you relit f from digestive dis
orders, and puts you in shape tc
do your best and feel your best.
A torpid, inactive liver can pro
duce more bodily ills than almost
anything else. It is good to clean
the system out occasionally, stir
the liver up and get into shape
generally. The best results are de
rived from the use of DeWitt’s Lit
tle Early Risers. Reliable, effect
ive, pleasant pills with a reputation.
Never gripe. Sold at Howell’s
Drug atore.
A good complexion is impossible
with the stomach out of order. If
pasty sallow people would pay
more attention to their stomachs
and less to the skin on their faces,
thev would have better complex
ions. KOROL FOR DYSPEpIA
will digest what you eat and put
your stomach back, in right shape
to do its own work. Kodol reliev
es palpitation of the heart, flatu
lence, sour stomach, heart burn etc.
Sold at Howell’s Drug Store.
Are the citizens of our town go
ing to let the grand old day—the
4th, of July—go by without one
bit of celebration ? Cirhulars are
flooding the country announcing
big celebrations at various places,
for the fourth, so why not M«
Crory do likewise! Big days mean
big trade for our merchants, from
the pea-nut stand up to the largest
furnishing house. There, is not
one citizen in our city but what
will be benefited double the amount
donated to the above. We have
heard several of our townsmen of
fer very liberal donations for a big
barbecue and speaking the fourth,
if others that will be benefited as
much iu proportion as they, will
come iu with their liberal offer
ings. Wake up citizens and' get
something doing in MeCrory.
Don’t wait ’till the morrow, get
the habit,*‘do it now”.
A few days ago, two young men,
a snake and a bullfrog, were the
participants of a peculiar and in
teresting affair. It happcnel this
way: As the two young men were
driving across the country, they
passed a small pool iu which were
the snake and frog, the snake hav
ing the frog in his unmerciful
grasp. The two young men took
very little notice of the affair and
drove on, but iu about two hours,
passed the same spot again on their
return home and seeing the very
same snake lying on a log with a
large hnmp iu its back, one of the
young men alighted from the bug
gy and proceeded to kill the snake,
which act he accomplished!} iu
short order; then fishing the
snake out on dry laud and by plac
ing his foot on the snake’s body
