The theatre goers of Wilson are to
have the pleasure of a visit from James

recommendation as all know his abil

has billed him Hor the 4th of March.
Doubtless a packed house will greet
him.-
The three stores occupied by J. &
D. Oettinger and the one used by
' M. Baker, have had very much ad

Last week in the notice of a seizure
of some whiskey from Mr. B.C.
Liles, we neglected to state that it
was no Violation of the revenue law
on the part of Mr. Files but the fault
of the house the whiskey came from.
We are glad' to learn that he loses
nothing by the seizure.
Cards are out announcing the mar
riage of Miss Ella Howard to Mr.
Charles W. Gold, of Wilson, at the

53 a young man of sterling qualities.
He is one of the editors of our con
temporary, the Wilson Times. Miss
Howard is one of Edgecombe coun

If nothing unforseen happens the
minstrel composed of amateurs will
make its' appearance in the Opera
Honse on March 12th. It! was hoped
when steps were taken to organize it
that it cquM be given before Lent,
but it has been found impossible to
do so. The boys are going to give
a show that the people of Wilson
may feel proud of and for j this reason
wish to have plenty of practice.
They have gone to work with the
right spirit and will make a success of
their undertaking. All they ask from
the people is to honor them with a
full house.

The citizens ctf our town ei j )ved a
rare treat in the way of a lecture lrom
the renowned, popular and inimitable
Henry Blount.
His sot Jeci, 'Bevor.d the Ales lies
Italy," uas handled as he dnly could
handle it. Its variety, depth, breadth,
width and height cannot well be esti
mattd. He showed how every man
who had . reached the "Italv of
success" had first to climb the rugged
4Alps which lav in his pathway.
For oratory, humor, &c, Henrr
Blount has no equal-
"He'll make you laugh and make
you cry or else he'll know the reason

With a better understanding1 of the
transient nature of the many ph3-s-icalills,
which vanish before proper f-v
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledg-e.' "that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the S3'stem, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-,
ly removes. That is why it is the only .
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that itis the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acS. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur-,
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Oo. only and sold i by
1 refutable druggists. a
If in the eiiiovment of good health;
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in. need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of.
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
