A MOTHER
Wakes to Find Her Little
One Strangling.
She
Saves its Life by the
Prompt Use of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
"One of my children had Croup. The case was attended by our physU
Cian, and was supposed 10 lie well under control. One night I was
startled by the child's hard brat liinfj, and on going to it found it
' ".tfsUlgling. It had nearly ceased to breaiuc Realizing that the child's
alarming condition had become possible in spite of the medicines given,
J reasoned that such remedies would be of no avail. Having part of a
bottle of AVEIt'8 Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three
(Jones, at short intervals, and anxiously awaited results. From the
moment the Pectoral was Riven, the il'ild's breathing grew easier, and,
in short time, she was sleeping ipiiraly and breathing naturally. The
Child is alive and well to-day, and 1 do not hesitate to say that AYElt'S
Chewy Pectoral saved her life." C. .1. Wooi.duhkik, Worthnm, Tex.
"I Wish to express my high appreciation of AYER'S Cherry Pectoral,
having bad occasion to use it in many cases, two of whicli, V. F. Owen
ajut Jos. Johnson, were abscess of the lungs, involving almost the entire
organ. The patients were treated by several physicians, and were pro
nounced to be In the last stages of consumption. Being placed in my
hands, the main part of the treatment was AYER'S Cherry Pectoral.
Thll was about eight years ago, and both men are now, to all appearance,
in perfectly sound health. I have iis,-l this remedy in a number of other
evt with like favorable results." Jons- A. Hitter, M, D,, West

AFTER AWHILE.
After awhile, we olten say,
When abndona fall and clouds arise
There's sure to cornea brighter day,
With balmy air and ninny skies.
After awhile a day af real
Will come to worn aid weary fret;
What seems the worst will prove tho beat,
And bitter things be turned te sweet.
Alter awhile the aching heart
Will find aeordi ' for its paiu;
And as the flying di deiuirt
The joy of love v vnie again.
After awhile the right will reign,
And conquered wrong will lose its sway;
While ancient error's icy chain,
Will break and slowly melt away.
After awhile the clashing creeds
That lead to strife and hate with men,
Will yield to our superior needs
And love will prompt the lip and pen.
Alter awhile the golden hours
Will come with lifo's supernal days,
And brighter thoughts and nobler powers
Will lead us into grander ways.
A CHANCE FOR SOME ONE,
SOME LANDS
PURPOSES-
WANTED TOR 0BAZ1NU
A LARUE ENTERPRISE.
Concord Standard.
W. M. Smith, an attorney of Con
cord, is in reccpt of letters from parties
destnng to purchase some large tracts of
land.
One wants no less than 10,000 acres
for grazing purposes; another wishes a
large tract of land upon which to locate
an English colony; and another one is
desirous of purchasing 10,000 or 15,000
acres of hard timber land or shoit leaf
pioe.
Is there any reason why North Caro
lina cannot secure these enterprises? We
think not. There will be no trouble in
meeting tho wants of those people, pro
vided owners of such land will niako it
known. Unless North Carolina rises to
the demands of the occasion, other States
quite enthusiastic on this subject,
Will reap the benefits of having such en
terprises introduced within their borders.
It may not be possible to obtain the
lands in such largo bodies in Piedmont
North Carolina, bat there are such tracts
available in any western county.
Just a little effort secured the Wal-
denses in Burke and that people are do-
lighted and the community bettered.
Such would be tho result should the
proper effort be made in these latter
moves.
We have seen the letters and the gen
tlemen seeking these properties are dead
in earnest and mean to act at ouce.

BUSY ON THE MESSAGE.

HIS COUNTRY HOll E Til K MATTERS
TO BE IHStU'KSED.
A few weeks ago a railway collision
killed, among others, a passenger living
in a country town. Ilia remains were sent
home, and a few days after the fuoeial
the solicitor to the company called upon
the widow to elleot a settlement. She
placed her damage! at $25,000.
"Oh, that sum is unreasonable!" replied
tho solicitor. "Your husband was nearly
fifty years old?"
"Yes, sir."
"And lame?"
"Yes."
"And his general health was poor?"
"Very."
"And he, probably, would not have
lived more than five ycara?"
"Probably nut, sir,"
"Then it seems to me that two or three
thuuaaud dollars would be a fair compen
sation.
"Two or three thousand?" she echoed.
"Why, air, I courted that man for ten
years, ran after him for ten more, and
then had to chase him down with a shot
gun to get him to settle fur bare eost of
shoe leather and ammunition."
The man of law concluded that she de
served all she could get.
WANTED TO GO .
Little boy; May I go out to play?
Mamma: Not to-day. You have

Tho White House will probable see
very little ol I'rcsiJeot Cleveland between
now and December 4, when Congress
meets in regular scssi;n. Most of the
intervening lime will be spent at Woodloy
in the preparation of his annual message.
Ho came in from Woolley at 10 o'clock
this morning, but shut himself up in the
executive office of the White House,
where he bad an interview with Chairman
Wilson, of the House ways aud means
committee. It is assumed that the tariff
bill and the President's recommendations
on the tariff question in his forthcoming
message were the subject of the confer
ence. The President finds that he can work
much better at Woodley than in the ex
ecutive office, for though many Senators
and Representatives have left the city,
enough remain behind to make the press
ure upon him for appointments still unfill
ed something to be avoided as far as pos
sible. These appointments, as fast as de
cided upon, will be given out from the
White House on certain days in the
week.
Nearly all the cabinet officers are well
advanced with their reports, which will
form the basis of the Prasidcnt's recom
mendations in dealing with department
matters. It is undeistood that each officer
in turn will probably be a guost at Wood
ley. Secretary Carlisle has already had one
whole day at Woodley, and many evening
consultations. Postmaster General Bissell
frequently drives out there in the pleasant
evenings, and Col. Lamont is a constant
visitor.
It has been an almost unbroken custom
for the President to lead off his ruessuge
with a discussion of our relations with
foreign powers. State Department mat
ters this year will be of unusual interest!
embracing as they will the Hawaiian pol
icy of tho administration, of which it is
confidently expected somo authentic an
nouncement will be made for the infor
nation of the general publio, and the
stirring incidents in Brazilian waters.
Finances will necessarily come next the
tariff first, of course. Mr. Carlisle has
bceu endeavoring in every brief respite
that the silver fight has given him to get
together in a succinct form a tabulation
of facts snd rccommeidations.
The recommendations as to the army
and navy, the complicated state of the
Interior Department, and the l'ostoffice
and Agricultural departments will have
been largely foreshadowed in the mean
lime in the reports of the heads of bureaus
in those great executive offices, tho ab
strucls of which are being made public
from day to day.
A MINISTElt'S FAREWELL,
A reader knows of a country minister
in a certain locality who tuok permanent
leave of his congregation iu the following
pathetic manner:
"Brothers and sisters, I come to say
good bye, I don't think God loves this
church very much, because none of you
ever die. I don't think you lovo each
other, becauso 1 never marry any of you
I don't think you love me, because you
have not paid my salary; your donations
are mouldy fruit and wormy apples, and
by their fruits ye shall know them.'
Brothers, I am going away from you to
a better place. I have been called to be
chaplain of the penitentiary. Where
go ye cannot come hut I go to prepare
a place for you, and may the Lord have
mercy on your souls. Good bye."
Ram's Iloro.
THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION.
CUltEI) BY PRAYER.
After lying in bed for two years utterly
helpless, a victim of seemingly incurabli
spinal trouble, IMisa 11. lyle, ot Wist
Barnard street, in this borough, has just
left his couch, and professes to have been
cured cntitcly through the instrumentality
of prayer; the doctors having com-idcrtd
bis case hopeless.
The cure took effect ceitsiuly without
the aid of dkiIUuu or uigeiy, two days
ago, and it greatly astounded Mr. Pyle's
family and his physician. The confirm
ed invalid had been dreadfully injurid
by being thrown over an embankment in
a runaway accident near Bethlehem
seven years ago. After a long siege
illacss he recovered and resumed his
business as a miller; but was again pros
trated twenty-two months ago this lime
with a spinal disease so serious as to
throw him into convulsions every time he
was moved in his bed.
Two dnys ago, pursuant to his an
nouncement that the Lord was sbout to
answei his prayers and cure him, Mr.
Pyle arose from his bed, dressed himself
and walked about the room. Since thca
he has been rapidly mending. West

ISSUED MY (10 V. CARR, NAM1NU THURS
DAY, NOVEMIIER THIRTIETH.
Gov. Carr yesterday issued bis Thanks
giving Proclamation to the people of the
State according to the usual custom. It
is handsomely printed and bears the great
seal of North Carolina in a pretty blue
lint. The following is the proclamation:
State or North Carolina, Executive-
Department.
At the close of another year it is meet
snd proper that as a State and nation we
should give thanks to the Author of every
good and perfect gift for the many bless
ings vouchsafed to us. The people of
North Carolina have much for which to
be thankful. The ravages af the storm,
the blight of disease and the serious ills
which have befallen some other States
God in His mercy has spared us. Our
lands have responded to our labors, and
although not as abundantly as heretofore,
still we have sufficient to preserve us from
hunger and want.
In compliance, with the time-honored
and beautiful Christian custom of our
commonwealth, and in conformity with
the recommendation of the President of
the United States, I, Elias Carr, Gover
nor of the State of North Carolina, do
appoint Thursday, the thirtieth day of
November, 1893, as a day of public
thtnksgiving and praise to God. I earn
estly request the people of the State to
observe this day in a suitable manner,
1 tying aside, as far as possible, their sec
ular pursuits, and to assemble in their
u-mul places of worship and with thank
ful hearts give praise and thanksgiving.
And that every heart may rejoice, let us
remember with that charity which is twice
blessed the poor and afflicted, the widow
and the orphan, the unfortunate inmates
of our charitable institutions, and be
especially mindful of our fast aging heroes
at their own firesides and in the Soldiers'
Homo.
Given under my hand, and the Great
Seal of the State of North Carolina, at
the City of Raleigh, this 8th day of No
vember, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-three
and in thconc hundred and eighteen year
of our American Independence.
Elias Carr.

A.IOJSKOR THE PREACHER.
WINTER IS COMING.
SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE HELPLESS
ANIMAL CREATION.
The mountain circuit rider met me at
the foot of Hurricane gap in the Pin
mountains and wc rocta along together,
and about a mile fruiu wheru the roads
forked wu were stopped by a mountaineer
with a Winchester whom tho preacbir
knew.
"I just stopped yer," ho said to the
preacher, "tor ax yer to come up to the
house in the mornin.,"
"Anybody kick?" inquired the preach
er.
"No," and the mountaineer hesitated.
"You, know you have been a talkin' ter
me for a long time erbout gittin religion
and I've been holdin off?"
The preacher noded and looked pleased,
foi there was a tone of penitence in the
native s voice.
" W ell, I ve erbout got ter the pint
where somethin's got ter be dune. Jim
Gullius come by my place this mornin
and killed one of my dogs when I was
away, and you've heard mo say what I
thought of Jim Gullins many a time afore
this."
The preacher nodded sorrowfully this
time.
"Well, I'm going down tosee Jim now,"
continued the mountaineer, "an if I git
him I'll be ready to jino the meeting
house when you come up in the mornin,
and if Jim gits mc you'll have a funeral
to preach, so's you won't lose nothing by
it nohow. I must bo gillin along. Good'
by," andslingiug bis Winchester into the
hollow or bis arm he hurried away through
the thicket, Irsving the circuit rider and
me itliug on our horses in the road com
pletely knocked out by the suddennest of
it ail and the peculiarity. Dotroit Free
Pre.
The northeru winds, the cool nights,
the hoar frost, all remind us that winter
will soon be upon us. Hare you prepaied
for it? To enjoy tho winter months, or
rather to deprive them of much of the
physical discomfort that usually comes
with them, wc should as far as possible
prepate for them. Before they arc fully
upon us, fuel sbould be procured and
housed; substantial clothing prepared for
the household; sole fresh wolesome read
ing matter should be procured for the
children; food and shelter provided for
live stock, and even the dog kennels should
not be overlooked. Soxic may smile at
these suggestions, especially thelast in the
above list. But wc have made it for a
purpose. It is too much the custom of
our people, living in what arc called the
warmer States, to make little or no provi
sion for the comfort aud protection of
domestic animals. The Bible says "the
merciful man regardeth the life of his
beast." According to this statement many
of our people would not be regarded as
merciful to the beasts that serve them and
look to tbcm for protection. The faithful
horse that has broken the stubborn sod
and pulled the plow that tilled your crop,
and then drew the wagon that hauled
your produce to market, deserves better
treatment than to shiver all night in the
open barns in which he is often stabled.
The faithful milch cow that has fed you
and your little ones through the summer,
deserves a better retreat than the open
leaky shed in which she is often sheltered.
Shame upon the man who will suffer her
tospend her long winter nights in the open
air, while tbc pitiless rain or sleet tails
upon hci! And poor old Fido whose bay
ing has often sent the light nngcred their
about his business, deserves better treat
ment than to shiver upon the thin mat on
the front porch through tho long night.
Homely talk, all this; but our people do
need attention to homely matters and
home comforts. Let those who are care
less, no longer neglect these things. At
tention to the helpless animal creation
about us may be a means of our own
growth in grace, and certainly is in accor
dance with the religion of Christ. "Bles
sed are the merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy." Biblical Recorder.
