has an enviable record of benevol
ence whenever the occasion de
manded its aid, and has been one
of the potent factors in the growth
of Goldsboro and in the employ

Their latest charitable act was
to donate the bedroom furniture
for the new building of the Odd
Fellows' Orphan Home in this
city. The donation was formally
made to the board of trustees at
their session in this city Wednes
day, when the building was ac
cepted from the contractors.
To say the gift was a handsome
one is but poorly expressing it.
Some idea of its value can be as
certained when it is stated that it
required about fifty suits to fur
nish the building.
This act of benevolence is in
keeping with the magnanimity and
philanthropy of the gentleman
who compose the company, not
one of whorrr belong to the order
of Odd Fellows, but who were
prompted solely by noble impulses
and a desire to benefit the poor
orphan children who are to occupy
the Home. i
The deed calls for the gratitude
of Odd Fellows everywhere and
must excite the admiration of
those outside the order.

But when ohvsical weakness or disease is
added to a woman's burden it becomes al
together too heavy. No woman can be
cheerful or hopeful who is dragged down
i continual pain and physical wretch
tness. The special weaknesses oecuUar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easy
to overcome if the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention. But if allowed to
go unchecked, they are liable to develop
into serious, chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is
a perfect and unfailing specific for all dis
eases of the feminine organs. It was de

President Hancock, of the At

road is negotiating with General
Passenger Agent Turk, of the
Southern Kan way, with a view
to arranging summer passenger
rates for Morehead City.
This will mean much for Ra

Such an arrrngement will, if
made, give the people in all sec
-10ns of the State an opportunity
to visit this popular resort, and
by none will it be more generally
taken advantage of than by the
people of this city.
Mr. Hancock will try to ar
range an especially low rate
from here for Saturday night,
the tickets to be good returning
until Tuesday night.
Dr. Blacknall, proprietor o:
the hotel, has also agreed to give
special hotel rates and accommo
dations for these occasions.
The schedule will be arrang
oyer the Atlantic and North Car

Chattanooga, which arrives at
Goldsboro at 4:55 in the after
noon. This will put through pas
sengers in Morehead at about

Dr. Blacknall says this wil
enable him to give the new ar
rivals each night supper by
themselves, thus making the ser
vice more satisfactory both to
the guests and to the manage

It is to be hoped that Mr. Hans

these plans before the season at

WARNING. ,
We wish to caution all users of Simmons
Liver Regulator on a subject of the deepest
interest and importance . to their health
perhaps their lives. The sole proprietors
and makers of Simmons Liver Regulator
learn that customers are often deceived by
fraying and taking some medicine of a
similar appearance or taste, believing it to
be Simmons Liver Regulator. We warn
you that unless the word Regulator is on
the package or bottle, that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator. No one else makes, or
ever has made Simmons Liver Regulator, or
anything exiled Simmons Liver Regulator,
but J. H. Zeilin & Co., and no medicine made
by anyone else i3 the same. We alone can
put it up, and we cannot be responsible, il
other medicines represented as the same do
not hlp you as you are led to expect they
will.? Bear this fact well in mind, if you have
been in the habit of using a medicine which
you supposed to be Simmons Liver Regula
tor, because the name was somewhat like
it, and the package did not have the word
Regulator on it, you have been imposed
upon and have not been taking Simmons
Liver Regulator at all. O The Regulator has
been favorably known for many years, and
all who use it know how necessary it is for
Fever and Ague, Bilious Fever, Constipa
tion, Headache, Dyspepsia, and all disorders
arising from Diseased Liver.
We ask you to look for yourselves, and
see that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
jou can readily distinguish by the Red Z
on wrapper, and by our name, is the only
medicine called Simmons Liver Regulator.
