Mission at Halifax We learn
$at the Rev. Geo. B. Ilebbard, retor of
lalvary Episcopal Church, Tarboro, will
M a week's mission at Halifax in the
irly part ot July, upon a date not yet
iced. Mr. Hebbard is one of the ablest
reachers io this diocese. The services
under the management of the Rev. W.
. Mellichampe will be made most attrac
tive to the congregations.
I Cube for Dvse.ntery. Mr. Kd.
Wills, of Briokleyville, writes that as
hcre soems to be so much dyseutery pre
failing, an unfailing remedy may be ac
ceptable, Here it is :
'j "lake sweet milk, heat it as not as
oan be drunk without boiling, and take
rrom one-half to a pint at a time, repeat
lag the dose as required."
Si This is a simple remedy and within
the reach of everyone. Try it.
sThe Crops The crops are generally
Lte and are grassy because the ground
has been too wet to work, but the hot
dry weather of the past tew days has
done wonders for them and they are grow
ing beautifully. There is plenty of lime
for them to mature and jield abundantly,
although some aredown cai-t at the pros
vict. It it is too soon yet to make any
rocnostications. Cotton 's like a wo
un you can never tell whut it is going
) do until it is done.
After all, the best way to know the
Te4 merit of Hood j Sarsapirillu, is to
try it yourself. Be sure to get Hoods.
To Coli'miius Pknitkntiahv.
Henry K. Davis, late assistant Postmas
ter at Halifax was convicted in the Federal
couitlast week on a charge of cmbczyJing
government funds and Feritcneod to eigh
teen months imprisonment in the Colum
bus' Ohio, penitentiary, and lined .S-'IH'-!,
the amount of his slo'itagc. The short
age was originally about a thousand dol
lars, but about six hundred dollars of it
was refunded. The grand jury did not
lind a true hill against Cora Davis, and
she was discharged.
Dii. Tai.mahe The Rev. Dr. T.
DeWitt Talmage will to-day pass through
here on the Atlantic Coast Line train en
route for the Teachers' Assembly at
Morehead City. An invitation was i-ent
him to preach here either before or after
his visit to Morehead, but be replied that
his time had been so apportioned that it
would be impossible for him to accept.
Ho said that he would be hero twenty
minutes and would be glad to be present
ed to any who should so desire, lie
will arrive here ut 12:10, and leave at
12:.'il.
An Evidence of Weakness.
Every established local newspaper re
ceives subscriptions from large cities
which puzzles the publisher, but which
the New York Times explains as follows :
"A wholesale merchant in the city
who became rich in the business says his
rule is that whenever he sells a bill of
goods on credit, he immediately subscribes
for tho local newspaper of his debtor.
So long as the customer advertised vigor
ously, the merchant was satisfied, but as
soon as he began to contract his advertis
ing space the fact was taken as evidence
that there was trouble ahead and the
creditor invariably went for the debtor.
The merchant said that the man who is
too poor to make his business known is
too poor to do business. The withdrawal
of an 'adv' is evidence of weakness which
wholesale men are not slow to act upon."
Ri;n Over and Killed. The
through freight train which left here
Saturday night at 12 o'clock ran over
and killed a negro man by the name of
Buck Wade, about two miles this side
of EoGeld. Wade had been in Enfield
during the day drinking and left about
ten o'clock at night, walking home ou the
railroad track. It is supposed that he
sat down on the track and fell asleep.
His body was found Sunday badly man
gled and the skull crushed, near the
place where he should have left the track
to reach bis home. He was about !!0
years old, and a farmer. Corouer Gary
was notified and held an inquest, the ver
dict of the jury being to the effect of
Wade was killed by a freight train
on the W. & W. road. The engineer
did not see the' ni.ui and probably did
not know that be had been run over.
No blame attaches to the railroad or its
employees on account of the sad acci
deut. Subscription Defeated. Tho
election on the proposed subscription of
$15,000 to the Garysburg and Jackson
railroad, held in Oocaoeecb.ee township,
on Saturday, was very hotly contested,
both sides working hard to succeed.
Until the day of election the railroad ad
vocates were confident of success, but
tho result was ten majority against the
subscription, the vote being 239 to 219.
A full vote was not cast.
The road will doubtless be built but in
stead of going to Garysburg it will proba
bly strike the Seaboard road a little this
side of Seaboard, where a lumber road has
a station. This lumber road which is
six miles long will possibly be made a
part of the line, leaving about five miles
of track to be built. The subscriptions
uow amount to about $30,000, and it is
proposed to induce the Seaboard road to
take slock enough in the enterprise to
iron the road and supply the rolling
stock.
DeafncHu Can't be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an iiiflammaiton of the mucous
lining cf tho Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets iuflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out, ami this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are
caused bv catarrh, which is nothing but
an iuflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that we cannot cured by taking llal.'s

More Dwelling Houses Needed.
Moro houses are needed iu Weldou.

staotly. People are bound to crowd be
cause there are not enough houses for
the population. The town cannot grow
much more until there are places for
people to live in Will not some one
make a good investment by building
dwelling houses to rent ?

Hebrews for Littleton. A tele
gaiitu from Hickory says the representa
tive of the Baron Hirsch immigration
committee now in this country was in
that place recently and while there it
was learned from him that the committee
is negotiating for large bodies of land in
various places in this State, including
120,000 acres of land near Littleton.
This committee expects to put 20,000
Russian Jews in this State. No place is
better suited for such a project than
Littleton. It has every natural advan
tage, and these outcasts from Russia
would be warmly welcomed.
"I say, doctor, what in your opinion is
the leading virtue of this wonderful Pan
acea Water of which I hear so much
down at Littleton, N. C? "Why, it is
this, in the diseases which it cures there
seems to be a permanency which no other
water effects. It not only relieves but
cures. It is indeed a remarkable virtue."
