THE HEADLIGHT. HKAlT.ST ADVKRTIS1NG MEDIUM (loivM C-' August ISM LOCAL NEWS. As we go to press the condition of .Mr. I'- Swindell is considered critical. Mr. W. K. Stanley began moving into li is new and palatial residence yesterday. Our personal reporter "struck" this week, hence no personal items in this issue. The delightful shower that visited this Section Monday night was a I I welcome visitor. j Lightning struck the barn of Col. I I. Y. Faison, near Faison, Sunday I evening and consumed it with all I pon tents therein. I I The public school in Stony Creek township has been opened for its pu- jtils and is conducted by Miss Ella 1 Powell, of this citv. 1 rl he State liremen's tournament will be held at Durham on the 25th ) till the 27th inst. The round trip I fare from this city is 2. CO. i The lirst open cotton boll of the I reason was laid on our table on Tues ! day (a week ago), by Mr. Major I .Lewis, of lirogden Township. The pension oflice at Washington, J). C, lifts appointed our townsman Dr. Jno. I). Spicer, examining sur- ireon of pensioners for this district. Our Register of Deeds issued the following marriage licenses this week: ,Ias. C. Davis to Miss Bettic Bran tham, J. E. Hales to Miss Litha A. Watson. We regret to learn of the sudden demise of the estimable wife of Dr. .1. 1. Kennedy, in Grantham's town ship, which sad event occurred Wed nesday in the 52d year of her age. The lawn party given last night by 5 the ladies of the Missionary Baptist i church in front of Maj. II. L. Grant's 'residence, was well patronized and ?s ul ted m a handsome sum for the itielit of their church. riie special stockholders train of the A. & X. C. 11. li. left yesterday morning for Morehead City. A can vass among them elicited the fact that the majority are for Washington Ihyan, Esrj., for President. . j The pulpit of St. Stephens Epis- copal church in this city, was oc jj cupied Sunday night by Ilev. J. B. Williams, of Orangeburg, S. C, who preached an eloquent and high ly impressive sermon to the delight of his many hearers. Those who attended the re-union ! and pic-nic of the Confederate Vet- I t rans' at the Fair Grounds Thurs- day, pronounce it a most enjoyable i affair. Sorry that our absence from tlie city on that day prevented us I I from making a detailed report. The "moss backs" of this city who arc an obstacle to all public improve ments would do well to read our ed itorial upon the marvelous progress made by the citizens of Winston dur ing the past ten years. We have no doubt that they will protit thereby. j Sheriff." Edwards, of Greene coun ? tv, came yesterday after a negro named Amos Jones, who was arrest j I'd in this city a few days ago by Sheriff Grant and placed in our county jail, charged with a deadly assault upon a white man in Greene Cou p. tv. I A "green hand" employed in Dewey Iros. machine shops, on Tuesday j afternoon, accidentally poured some Melted iron on the person of Mr. J. 1 1- Hunt, who sustained painful in- I juries on arms and feet. Mr. Hunt j now thinks that he has tested the i '"Innate of sheol. I A negro named toster Lee alias Henry Lee, was arrested in Granth am's township by Sheriff Grant on 1 hursday, charged with circulating language injuring the character of a I ri-'a'pectable young lady in Banner lowiship, Johnston county. Sheriff I Ellington, came after the prisoner lut evening and carried him to j Mithii,.,! when: he was jailed. The Board of Managers of the Eastern Carolina Fair and Stock Association have elected as Chief Marshall fo lhe comingcxposition to be held September lr to 17th. our esteemed young townsman Mr. J. II. Hill, Jr. We deem this seclection a most excellent one. The annual meeting of the State Baptist Association will in all prob ability be held in this city on Novem ber 1 1 to 13th, as Raleigh, which was chosen last year as the place of meet ing, is unable to accommodate the large number of delegates on account of the forth-coming Southern Expo sition. The news of an accidental killing reaches us from Wilder's township, Johnston county. On Tuesday even ing while Mr. Wyatt Whitley, a well-to-do farmer of that township, was trying to raise his cider press, the beam, of which, all at once fell on his head, crushing his skull. He died a few hours later. While working one of the shingle machines at the plant of the Xeuse Lumber Company, near this city, on Tuesday, Charlie Head, the ten-year-old son of our townsman Mr. T. M. Head, had the misfortune to have his left thumb entirely cut off. The accident though very painful is luck ily not dangerous. That medicine quack Cicero Bor den, has returned once more and with his rotten bark and disgraceful language is making the corner of John and Walnut streets an out-of-the way place for lady pedestrians. If such humbugs like Cicero are granted license by our city author ities we can't see why pick-pockets or highway robbers shouldn't be li censed also. A most enjoyable pic-nic was giv er. Saturday by Falling Creek Alli ance in Grantham's township. There were at least 2,000 people present and all were charmed with the elo quent speeches on pure Alliance doc trines delivered by Mr. R. B. Hun ter, of Mecklenburg county, the for mer Assistant State Lecturer, and Prof. J. I). Ezzell, the principal of Goshen High School in Sampson county. $ After a continued illness for near ily a year with consumption Mrs. T. T. Oliver breathed her last Thurs day morning at 3 o'clock, at her resi dence in Pine Level, in the 45th year of her age. Her funeral took place Friday at 2 p. in., Revs. Daniel Davis and R. P. Hill, of the Free Will Bap tist church, of which deceased was a consistent member, officiating. The bereaved family has our heartfelt sympathy. The Alliance pic-nic held Friday at Holt's mill, Johnston county, had a right amusing termination. The people, numbering at least 500, had gathered around the long tables with their baskets of chicken, lamb and barbecue upon them and asked Mr. Jas. M. Oliver to say grace. Mr. Oliver continued in prayer for about live minutes and when he opened his eyes the people with their baskets and entire contents had departed, leaving only for Mr. Oliver the naked boards. A gentleman who attended the pic-nic and took part in these pro ceedings vouches for the truth of this statement. A colored school teacher named C. D. Croom, who is now conducting a public school in Pikeville town ship, is charged with "immoral practice upon a female pupil," while teaching in Fork township last fall. He was up yesterday before Capt. D. J. Broadhust, County Superin tendent of Public Instruction, who, deemed it proper to suspend Croom for the present until he is able to es tablish his innocence. He claims that it is a case of pure blackmail, as his would-be victim Lula Stevens, of Johnston county, has made an af fidavit which fully exonerates Croom of the serious charge brought against him. A young man named J, C. Grump ier, of Greenleaf, came to our office Saturday and complained that about three weeks ago we published his marriage license, but as his love af fair with Miss Ellen Herring was kept a profound secret and the mar riage failed to take place owing to the young lady being of unmarriage able age, he is troubled greatly by his friends and neighbors about the published license. Miss Herring be ing only 17 years old, the Register of Deeds refused to issue license with i out the consent of her mother, but the young man possessing too much false pride didn't care to go near the old lady and the marriage that was to have taken place failed to come off in consequence thereof. Grump ier now vows that he will die a bachelor. Killed by an Explosion. The life of Mr, Jas. II. Croom was suddenly hurled into eternity by an explosion of the boiler of a stationery engine which he was test ing in front of O. R. Rand, Jr. & Co.'s machine works Tuesday after noon at about 2 o'clock. He was scalded from head to foot by the outpouring steam and after suffering untold agony expired that evening at G o'clock. The explosion was so terrific that it broke all the glasses in the shop windows which struck Mr. Wiley Horn, who was at work iuside, cutting him up quite badly but not seriously. Mr. Croom was in the 25th year of his age, had been married only nine months and was a partner of the firm of O. R. Rand, Jr. & Co. He came about four years ago from Magnolia to this city, where he made many friends. His funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock from the Missionary Baptist church, Rev. J. II. Edwards, officiating, and the interment made in Willow Dale cemetery. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the young widow in this her gad affliction. Resolutions of Rosebud Alliance. We, as true members of the Alli ance, who, firmly believe in the prin cipals of the great order and stand ing squarely on the Ocala platform, and by our leaders, President L L. Polk and others; therefore-be it Resolved, that since the Golds boro Argus, News and Observer and Wilmington Messenger, are not in sympathy with our demands we warn all Alliance men and all persons in sympathy with the order not to pat ronize these nor any other papers speaking against us, or using lan guage damaging to our order, or have a tendency to deceive the people. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Goldsboro Headlight for publication and the Progressive Farmer be requested to copy the same. Done by order of Rosebud Alli ance, No. 700, Wayne county, Au- rrncf .Qfb 1 Q01 Wholesale Swindling. Mr. A. Frank Richardson, of New York, in his recent address in St. Paul, Minn., before the National Ed- itoral Association, called attention to the fact that druggists all over the country are continually defraud ing their customers by offering them imitations or substitutes for various Patent Medicines, thus also swindl ing the proprietors of such medicines who have created the demand by extensive advertising. This practice of substitution by the druggists has grown to such an extent that Mr. Richardson invokes the aid of the newspapers in its exposure and de feat. But no one should allow themselves to be thus swindled, es pecially in the purchase of Simmons Liver Regulator, the great remedy for Indigestion and all Liver troubles. The genuine article is stamped with a large red Z on the face of the package. Take no other. Any substitute for this is a fraud upon the purchaser, who invariably pays the penalty in not securing the genuine article. Dr. T. J. Williamson, Eustis, Fla., says: The bottle of Bradycrotine you sent me was given three ladies who were suffering from hvntlanh They said the effect was instantane- ,,.1 , t: ,r , i uus uu oaListauiory. Are vou suffering with .mr nor. vous disease? If so, go to Jno. II. Hill & Son's drugstore and nrvnrfl a bottle of Pastor Koenigs Nerve ionic. In no instance has it failed to cure. Try it. Fruit Jars! Quarts at 1 per dozen, at New lork Bargain Store. Discovered by the People. Many of the inventors and vendors of the various nostrums that are of fered to the public to-day, only to disappear and be succeeded by some thing else to-morrow, make the most sweeping and absurd claims for them. They are heralded as cure alls, and it is no wonder the public has become suspicious. The most remarkable fact in the history of S. S. S. (for, unlike most other pro prietary medicines, it has a history) is this: That a, great many of its virtues have been discovered by the people themselves. It has never been advertised as a specific for skin cancer, and yet there are many testi monials going to show that S. S. S. will cure that dread disease. These testimonials are of such a character that there is no "going behind the returns." Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis eases, mailed free. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga.
