Hood's Sarsaparilla has done all this and even more. It has been taken in thousands of cases which were thought to lie incurable, and after a fair trial has effected wonderful cures, bringing health, strength and joy to the afflicted. Ano ther important point about Hood's Sarsa parilla is that its cures are permanet, because they start from the solid founda ti n of purified, vitalized and enriched blood. Rut it is not what wo say but what Hood's Sarsaparilla does that tells the story. The Bishop's Appointments Bishop Cheshire's appcintment f r this section are as follows: March 23.

Work has already commenced on the cars at Portsmouth, Va. It is said that specifications hue been sent out for bids for the c nsi na tion of the engines. Increasing traffic necessitated more rolling stock. Accord iug to the signs of the times, this order will have to be increased in tho near fu ture. New Goods. Mr. M.

Mr. rredlaudor is reliable and will not misrepresent his goods By fair and honest methods he is building up a fine trade, and invites an inspection of his new Bpriug stock. A.N Important Factor. The effort of any newspaper to build up a town is practically nullificdunless it is backed upby the business men. A stranger turns from the news columns of a paper to its ad vertising pages, and if he fails to find there the business cards of the merchants and professional firms, he comes to the conclusion that tho publisher is not ap preciated, in which case it is a good place for him to keep clear of. No town ever grew without the active assistance of ils newspaper. Nor can papers grow and build up their localities without the as sistance of the town. Business men should realize this and remember in giv iug support to the newspapers they are not only building up their own business, but helping lo support that which is steadily working for the growth of the whole town Benjamin Ballard BniiiEss. Judge Walter Clark informs us that when in Me xico recently he met many North Carolinians, and among them al the city of Guadalajara, some fout hun dred miles west of the City of Mexico, Mr.-Benjamin Rall ird Burgess, a native of this county. .Mr. Burgess moved to Mexico some years hl;o and has relatives in Halifax and Warren counties.

The seed house is in charge of Mr, Allen, another vouni; South Carolinian who has made hosts of friends hero. We are always glad to welcome such excellent citizens as Messrs.

Mrs. Mary Walker, one of the oldest and most esteemed ladies of the county, died at the residence of her sister, Mrs M. E. Daniel, near Aurelian Springs, last Thursday. The deceased was born Nov. 2, IS 13, and was for over fifty years a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She connected herself with the church in 1S37 and was baptized by Rev. John Edwards. She had been three times married. Her first husbaud was James It, Binford, to whom she was married in 1832. Her second husband was Win. H. 1'ope and she was married to him in 1847. Her third husband was J. II. Walker to whom she was married io 1855. He died some years ago. Mrs. Walker was a most excellent lady and was a faithful worker in seasons of revival und took a deep interest io the young people. Sho spent a good portion of her lime here and always had a pleasant smilo and a kind worl for all with whom she cimo in contact. Her remains were laid to rest by the side of her father at the old family home stead. She fought a good fight and finished her course, henceforth there ii laid up for her a crown of rejoickg. The afHio ted family have our sympathies. But their loss is her eternal gain,' for she now rests from her labors. ROANOKE RAPIDS. 10 TO 1. She had been reading upon the financial question and she had heard the only gold bug merchant of her town spouting at a lively rate about a ratio of to 1, which he opposed, of course. Sho had a little gold dollar hid away among her trinkets and things, so she thought it a good time to make the piece of yellow metal do good service. She walked into tho store of the cold bug and said, "I-would like to see some nice dress goods, please." "Certaiuly," said the obliging yellow metal advocate, pulling down some late style fabrics. "What is this worth?" she asked, with a winning smile. "Only ono dollar a yard, and its " "Would you take sixteen silver dollars for 10 yards?" "Oh, certainly, Miss, sixteen silver dollars will buy sixteen yards." "And you would also take gold in payment at a proper ratio ?" "Gold I" he said, "why you know I prefer gold to silver, yet . "I will take sixteen yards, please." The obliging merchant soon had the package nicely wrapped. The sweet young thing then laid down 81 in gold, took her package and walked out, remarking, "I believe you favor a ratiorof 1G to 1. Good dav." "Oh, here, come back I" shouted the merchant, bul the young lady had gained tho street, and the silverites, who were standing by, had a hearty good laugh at tho expense of the gold bug, who had been taken in on tho free coinage plank of the silver men. Henry Dowdbn. Next Tuesday is the day set for the hanging of Henry Dowden, the murderer of Matt. M. Dodd. Steps have been taken to get tho ease before the Supremo court, but up to the lime we go to press the matter has not been perfected and it is more than pro bable that Dowden will pay the penalty of his crime at Halifax at the appointid time. We are always in favor of giving every prisoner the benefit of any reasonable doubt, but iu this case there is not the least shadow of doubt that Dowden com mitted the murder of a most estimable gentLman. Ho had a fair trial, none could have been fairer. He was ably defended by three lawyers, two of whom wero appointed by the court. In selec ting a jury none will doubt the fact that his lawyers used every precaution and two special venires were exhaused before a jury could be obtained. Tho prisoner had 23 peremptory challenges, aud he used 20 of them. Besides this he set aside a large number for cause. Djiing the eniire trial Dot a single except ion-was taken to the rulings ol Judge Means and there is nuthing to go up to the Supreme court on. Swili justice in all such oases should be meted out, Iu this way Ivuehiii -s ure prevent ed. The p-oplo of Halifax couuty arc a law ub ding people, and thpre has nev er been a lime since Dowdcn's arrest that he has been in ihe least danger of lynch- ing. Uur people inherit the uoble, law abidiug s.nit which was the giory 01 their forefathers in Colonial days, i d the old historic county never intends to besnirch her garments with tho acts of mob law. But she demands that this horrible death of Matt. M. Dodd be speedily avenged. The News of a Week Gathered ty our Reg ular Correspondent. mr Di,- am..
