Raleigh Cor. to Charlotte Ob
server. A little two year old girl was
found in Capt. Edwards' back
yard last Saturday night. The
child was crying when found and
said its "mammy" had whipped it
and told it to stay there until she
came back for it. It also said that
its "iaammyV name is Can and
its "daddv's" name Tom. - It is
thought the child is mixed Italian
and negro. It was takn by a col
ored man Squire Slade and his
wife, who seem exceedingly fond
of it and hope no one will cume to
claim it. Sunday when it heard
the train whistle it said "there
comes the train, now 'mammy' is
coming for me. I must go."

3XInlster Ransom.
Minister Ranson, the Charlotte
Observer says, passed through that
city yesterday morning on the ves
tibule "really at last on his return
to Mexico. He talked with several
people whom he knew about the
station, and seemed in good spirits
Surprise was expressed that more
cf his friends were not down to
see him."
riioi .io-i. O. Cobb.
T:ie subject tf this notice de
serves more than a passing tribute.
Born of respectable parents, near
this village, he spent the whole of
his life near the place of his birth.
He was 74 years, 4 months and 8
days old when the summons came,
and it is a source of comfort to his
family and friends to know that
he was prepared to meet it.
Major Cobb was not an ordinary
man. By persevereuce and indus
try he had accumulated a hand
some competency for old age In
all the walks of life fi3 was a man
of the strictest integrity, and he
goes to his grave with the respect
of all who knew him. Bing do
mestic in his tastes, he was a de
voted husband and father; being
kind-hearted, he sympathized with
the poor and suffering humanity
whenever brought to his notice.
Above all, he was a consistent
Christian gentleman.
"This earth that bears the-dead,
Bears not alive a truer gentleman."

Two Old 3Ien.
On the 14th of September, Mr.
John A. McGinnis of this county
will be 91 years of age. During
all this time he has had remarka
bly good health never took a dose
of medicine from the doctor and
never had the headache. He was
a justice of the peace eight years,
and was five years deputy sheriff
under Col. L. A. Mason. In the
old times he was chairman of the
warden courts for five years. He
says he is just ten years older than
Col. Richard Rankin, of Stanley
Creek. Ninety years is a long
time, and we sincerely congratu
late these two aged citizens on
their approaching birthdays.

Chicago, Sept. 14 : The Colum
bian Liberty bell, which is on the
way to Atlanta and thence around
the world, was greeted yesterday
at various towns in Illinois by
throngs of citizens and school
children. At Areola, a man named
Matthews, created a sensation by
brushing through the crowd and
striking the lower rim three hard
blows with a sledge hammer,mak
ing three dents in it. Manager
Knapp leaped from the car and
succeeded in locating the man and
immediately ordered his arrest.
The United States marshal has
been telegraphed for to take the
prisoner to Springfield.
At tlio 'Vcvx'HUy,
President Winston, of the Uni
versity, is in the city, and is full
of enthusiasm over the fine open
ing. He savs there are more stu
dents enrolled than ever before in
the history ot the Universtty,either
before the war or since. The chap
el is chock full at morning pray
ers, and soon the galleries will
have to be used.
The largeet ante-bellum enroll
ment was 463. The total enroll
ment last year was 471, while the
enrollment at the close of the first
week of this session is almost 590,
of whom 150 are new students.
There are classes in nearly 100
different studies. Over a dozen
married men are enrolled in the
student body, and about 25 college
graduates. News and Observer.

Mr. J. C. McNaughton, of the

a patent on the bike, which he
claims will do away with the ne

not a clumsy looking thing, but a
Handsomely arranged article, an

Sarsaparilla
S. I. Smith, of Towandu, Pa.,
whose constitution v;is completely
trokeit down, is cured by Ayer'a
Sarsaparilla. He writes:
"For eight year, I was, most of tl.o
time, a great sutfrir from constipa
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to he completely broken down. I was
induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with suh
excellent results that my stomach,
toweld, and kidneys are in perfect con
dition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as clock-work. At the tiina
I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds; I now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
pood health. If you could see me be
fore and after using, you would want
me for a traveling advertisement.
I believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market to-day."
