The alarm of fire Saturday night caused a little excitement on our streets, but the cause of alarm was only the burning out of a smokestack at the Company mills.

It pays to advertise and the man who fails to do it is behiud his ueighbor who doos. It seems that some of the good Demo crats are kicking against the town holding itn election this year under the new law Well, if it is a good, honest election law for State and county it must also be for towns. II it is bad the Democrats did it. Rev. M. S. Spear, the popular pastor of tne Christian church, was given a genuine 'pounding" on Friday eveuiug at his home on Maiu street by his congregation. This proceeding was very unexpected to the good family, but was a pleasant and much appreciated surprise. That is great sport some of our people nave, turning a rabbit loose on the streets to be chased down and torn to pieces by dogs. With its animal chasing, cock fighting, wild horse riding, war whooping, profane swearing and distressing yells of the street urchin, a stranger would thiuk he bad been set back to the sixties' in a genuine frontier town. That's all right, have a good time ; no one objects. We undeistand that the marriage of Mr. Geo. W. Dixon and Miss Isolind Chesson in Pleasant Grove Church, on Wednesday evening of last week was the first marriage ever witnessed m this church, though one of the oldest in the county. Certainly a more popular couple could not have been the first to unite their lives at that sacred alter. Though rather late, we extend congratulations friend George, to you and your lovely bride. Postoffice Bobbed. About 6:30 o'clock on Friday evening last, while the officials had gone to supper, some one walked in to the public entrance of the post office, turned out the light, slid up and over the cabinet, and robbed the postoffice, walking off with some thing near hity cents. It was rather a bold deed, yet a simple one. The office has to be kept open night and day since lock boxes were put in, and the officials have been careful, so the robber only got a few pennies out of the stamp drawer. Forbes In Jail. Sheriff Phelps returned Wednes day night from Williamston bring ing with him James It. Forbes, the negro who shot John Walker on the streets of this town in December of 1H97. After the shooting, which was se rious though not fatal, Forbes gave the officers the dodge and has been absent ever since. He was taken up in Williamston, and escorted back to Plymouth, where on arrival he was given a hearing before Justice Milliard, who in default of bond, committed him to jail to await the action of the Superior Court. Who Will be Examiner ? When the Board of ' School Di rectors meet on the 2nd Monday in Aprii they will be confronted by a difficult question in the very start. That cpaestion will be the election of a County Examiner. Thus far there are three candidates for that office all good men Rev. Luther Eborn, former examiner under Democratic rule, Prof. B. h Hassell, Jr., Prin cipal of the Plymouth Academy, and Mr. J. 0. Everett. We believe all these gentlemen worthy aud compe tent, and if we had to decide we would have to do it by drawing straws. i MEMORIAL CARDS.

We see he did not go to "foreign parts," for on Sunday last we saw him out riding with oue of Scuppernong's fair daughters. Tr Tiaviu. of T!ftst Lake, was in our town last week, and we think he is in terested in something else besides lumber. W ATnpit he in after taking one of the Flowers of Creswell, but not a Wild Daisy. Wild Daisies. NO CURE NO PAY. That is the way all druggist sell Grove's TASTELESS chill TONio for Malaria, Chills aud Fever. It is simply Iron ana quinine in a tasteless form. Children love it.

This remedy is intended especially for conghs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famous fcr its cures of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. Ihe most flattering testimonials nave been received, giving ac counts of its good works ; of the aggrava ting and persistent coughs it has cured ; of severe colds that have yielded promptly to its soothing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cured, often saving the life of the child. The extensive use of it for whooping cough has shown that it robs that disease of all dangerous conse quences. It is especially prized by mothers for their children, as it never fails to effect a speedy cure, and because they have found that there is not the least danger iu giving it, even to babies, as it contains nothing injurious.
