TAKE A HAND
IN THE MONUMENT
To Confederate Soldiers To Be
Erected In Jackson County
Court House Yard.
j
I To the citizens of Newport and
Jackson county:
In the matter of the building
a monument to the memory of
the Confederate dead of Jack
son county, the younger gener
ation, who are now running af
fairs, may think it’s none of
your interest.
We beg to say you are entire
ly mistaken; you are all happy
and prosperous and who of the
old Confederates living does not
feel glad of your situation.
But if you will only look back
over the past you will learn who
made it possible for you to make
money and build fine homes and
invest in large holdings. Forty
years back, this county and
Jacksonport, the then county
seat, were in the hands of peo
ple who were destroying and
law could not be enforced, and
high handed robbery was ram
I pant, and we had no government
!and at this crisis the old Con
federates by force and manhood I
| which had been tested by four j
v'pnr'c:’ /vf wav fio-h + ino- flip whnlp i
world and today all nations won
der how they did so long, estab
lished law and order. ,
No people less determined or
brave could have done it; they
did it at great sacrifice and dan
ger to them and their families.
But by such courage they suc
ceeded and for forty years they
built up a great Democratic gov-,
ernment and wrote a constitu
tion in ’74 which was built by,
Confederates and has stood the
tests of our state. ;
By this the old Confederates
established such. a government :
—no graft, no stealing, . but
look at them and read their
record and you will know it is
true, and now in asking you to
help us in this work yo uonly
honor your own history; so we
ask you to help us. Our com
mittee will call on you soon with
the subscription list. Please
subscribe liberally and help us
build a monument to their mem
ory and you will never regret it.
If we miss any, please call us
up or stop at Sevens’ drug store
or Col. Minor’s office, or Inde
pendent office, and we will sure
ly be obliged. All citizens are
solicited with any amount you
may choose to give.

f HIIMKS INVIGORATION IS IN Aif
Writer’s Explanation of Vital Differ
ence Between the Londoner
and the New Yorker.
“The difference between New
York and London.” a man once said
to me, “is this: In New York, if you
have a new idea, you can get it car
ried out at once; in London, If you
have a new idea, you are up against
a brick wall.”
I believe this to be true, writes
Maurice Baring in the Metropolitan.
People in New York, and in America
In general, are not afraid of new
ideas, nor, indeed, of anything new.
They are not afraid of the future. In
England, if a man finds, for instance,
that his profession is uncongenial to
him, however certain he may be of
the Impossibility of his making a suc
cess of it, he will none the less very
rarely give it up, and try his hand
at something else. The future alarms
him. In America a man will think
nothing of throwing up his profession
twenty times running, until he finds
something which does suit him
I think the cause of this particular
difference lies in the climate of Amer
ica, and especially lies in the climate
of New York, /us^ as the climate of
some places fills the whole system'
with an invincible desire to do noth
ing. with an insuperagle languor and
sloth in the same way the climate
of New York fills the body and mind
w-ith the desire to be up and about.
It is the nimble air w'hich produces
the nimble wits; the stimulating at
mosphere which creates, in the deni
zen of New York, the love of bustle,
hurry competition and work. I am
not saying this is either a good thing
or a bad thing—I am merely noting
and recording what struck me as be
ing the main differences between New
York and London.
WILL GET MONEY NEXT TIME
Little Likelihood That Mrs. Crabbe
Will Have Opportunity to Cash
Hubby’s Check Again.
"Henry,” said Mrs. Crabbe, "don’t
you never give me another check to
cash. Always gi-e me the money after
this, please."
“Why, what was the matter with the
check?”
“Nothing was wrong with the check,
but the cashier didn't want to take it,
and said I had to be i. entifled. I told
him my name was Mrs. Crabbe, and
asked him if he didn’t gee it on the
long line, but .he just shook his head,
and said I had to find some one who
knew me.”
And who did you find?"
"No one. I asked him if he didn’t
know you."
“What did he say?” aaked Mr.
Cr*abbe, eagerly, but with modesty.
“He said, ’Of cpurse I know him.’"
“And then he cashed it,” said Mr.
Crabbe, hia cheat expanding visibly.
“Not right then. He asked me to de
scribe you.”
“Of course that was sufficient?”
"Yes. I told him you were a
sawed-off. hammered-down, bald-head
ad, pigeon-toed man, with a red mus
tache and a mole on your nose. That
yoti wore a fifteen collar and a ten
rear-old blue suit, and that you held
>n to a dime tighter than a letter
lolds a glued postage stamp. I was
;o!ng Into further details, but he
stopped me and said, ‘All right, Mrs.
Crabbe, just indorse the check on this
lae, please ’ ”

Four Perfect Women.
The prophet Mahomet Is reported
to have said that "among men there
have been many perfect, but not
more than four of the other sex have
attained perfection—to wit: Asiah
Mary, Khadijah and Fatima.” ABiah
was the wife of the Pharaoh of the
Exodus. She forsook the faith of her
fathers, on account of which her hus
band subjected her to many cruelties.
The Virgin Mary was the Becond
perfect woman, the prophet stating
that “she had been exalted above all
the women of the world." Khadijah
was the first wife of the prophet, "a
princess among women." Fatima, ac
cording to Mahomet, was the fourth
perfect woman, she being his beloved
laughter.
Evidently Ready for Him.
A gentleman who had been In town
:>nly three days, but who had been
paying attention to a prominent belle,
wanted to propose, but was afraid he
would be thought too hasty. He deli
cately broached the subject as fol
ows:
"If I were to speak to you of mar
riage, after having only made your
acquaintance three days ago, what
would you say to It?”
“Well, I should say never put oft
till tomorrow that which you should
have dona the day before yesterday."

Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, of
this place, says: *T suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then 1 would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, 60 he
bought me a bottle and I began using It
it did me more good than all the medi
cines 1 had taken.
1 have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all sa/they have
been benefited by its use. There never
ias been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is
t good medicine for all womanly trou
bles.” i -_
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial,
it should surely help you, as it has a
