ped back against a hot stove which burned
him severely. The child was in great agony
and his mother could do nothing to pacify
him. Remembering that she had a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the house, she
thought she would try it. In less than half
an hour after applying it the ohild was qui
et and asleep, and in lens than two weeks
was well. Mrs. Benson is a well known res
ident of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an anti
septic liniment and especially valuable for

Inasmuch as I find that I not on

" a j
party vote, but a large per cent, of
me vote oi tno other party, I take
this method of returning thanks to
ino8e wno tuus honored me by re
election to the office of Sheriff. In
deed I have just cause to thus show
my appreciation of the confidence of
the people whom I have tried to
serve faithfully during my two years
as their servant, and I promise only
to do my whole duty in the future
as in the past knowing no party or
person in the , discharge of my of
ficial duty.
Again thanking the voters of

Not a True Bill.
After a thorough investigation of
the case against L. II. and Win.
Ange, charged with wrecking tbe
Washington & Plymouth train some
time ago, the grand jury of this
county returned, not a true bill.
Detective J. M. Fowler, who was
employed on this case, did all in his
power to fmet out the mystery,
and to bring the guilty parties to
justice, but thus far his skill and
ability has failed. But he does not
give up. He coutends that evidence
is to be had, and he will have it.
While at work on this case Mr.
Fowler has come in contact with
many of our people, and the general
opinion of our people is that he is a
high toned, clever gentleman, and
that while he has thus far failed to
find the perpetrators of the most
dastardly crime ever committed in
this county, he wetked as hard as
he did in the celebrated Bonner
case, which made him famous
throughout the United States as the
"Pinkerton of North Carolina."
For a Bad Cold.
If you have a bad cold you need a
good reliable medicine like Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy to loosen
and relieve it, and to allay the irri
tation and inflammation of the throat
and lungs. For sale by all drug-
