HYOMEI A RECORD BREAKER Novel Method of Curing Catarrh. Sold On Approval By J. H. Hill & Son. The popularity and remarkable sales of Hyomei have broken all rec ords. In nearly every city and town in the country, this guaranteed cure for catarrh has given most astonish ing results. The leading druggists are so en thusiastic over the remarkable per centage of cures following the use of Hyomei, that with hardly an excep tion, they advertise to their custom ers that Hyomei will be sold with the understanding that it costs noth ing unless it cures. InGoldsboro, J. H. Hill & Son are endorsing it and guaranteeing to refund the money unless Hyomei cures catarrh.

The Great Cable Company Has Purchased the Plant and Business of the Old Mason and Hamlin Company John Wanamaker Tried to Buy the Plant. Goldsboro is soon to feel the effect of the push and enterprise of The Cable Company. The acquisition by the Cable Company of the immense plant of The Ma3on & Hamlin Com pany, of Boston, places them in a most enviable position in the piano trade. The immense plants at Chi cago and St. Charles, Illinois, has established the Cable Company in the Middle and Western States, and spread their business through the Middle Atlantic and Southern States, but the establishment of a factory in the East has been the aim of the able officials of this company for several years. The negotiations for the con tiolofThe Mason & Hamlin plant, at Boston, have been protracted, and have extended over a period of months. John Wanamaker, of New York and Philadelphia, who has handled The Mason & Hamlin out put, and who knows, by practical experience, the value of the well known instruments manufactured by this concern, put up a tremendous fight to get control of the business, but the efforts put forth by The Cable people finally won the fight, and the half million dollar plant of Mason & Hamlin is now under the manage ment of The Cable Company. Mr. A. W. Chandler, the general manager of The Cable Company in this city, and the official head of their business in North Carolina, points out that this means to the State of North Carolina, and to the city of Goldsboro especially, a tremendous increase in business, and as a conse quence an increased circulation of money. While The Cable Company had already, through years of enterprise and effort, acquired an enviable po sition in the piano and organ busi ness, both in thiscountry and abroad, the control of The Mason & Hamlin output, and a well equipped factory in the East, places them in a position by themselves. There is now directly under the control of this immense corporation, with its millions of capital and its millions of resources, The Mason & Hamlin Pianos, the Conover Piano, which is recognized among the best j made, the Kingsbury, Wellington and Cable Pianos. Truly a remark DEPOT ORDERED. The Seaboard and Southern Railways Have Been Ordered to Build One at Charlotte. Raleigh, Feb. 27. This evening the Corporation Commission made tiie tollowing order: ''It is ordered that the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Air Line Railway be at the ioint undertaking and expense of erecting, building and maintaining a union passenger station at Charlotte, commensurate with the business and thA revenues, and that the said sta tion be located at or near the junction of the said roadways in the city of Charlotte. It is further ordered that the plan he submitted to this com mission ou or before March 31. This cause ia considered for further direction." arDeai able line of splendid pianos ready sellers in every section. Now added . to these is The Mason & Hamlin, which has won a distinct place among the few Artistic instruments of national renown, that are strictly of the highest possible grade of man ufacture. The Cable Company is indeed in an impregnable position. The deal also gives The Cable Com pany control of the world-renowned Mason & Hamlin Organ as well, which will now be run in connection with their own famous Chicago Cot tage Organs. The purchase of the immense plant of The Mason A- Ham lin Company is not the only big deal in which The Cable Company ha3 figured recently. Recognizing tne great future in the manufacture of the Piano-Player and in placing this instrument in connection with their own magnificent line of pianos, Tho Cable Company cast about for a suit able plant: finally deciding upon, that of The Imperial Company, at a coit of forty thousand dollars. The Imperial was made the goal at which 1 he Cable Company aimed for the reason that it ranked among the best of mechanical Piano-Plavers. and was possessed of certain patent de vices which makes The Imperial Player more nearly akin to the hu man touch and expression possibly than any other player. All rights and patents of the Imperial Com pany have been transferred to The Cable Company, and these instru ments will shortly be placed on the North Carolina market. Briefly, the control by The Cable Company of the Imperial plant means simply that purchasers will now be able to buy one of these famous Piano-Play-ers direct from the manufacturer, and under the same liberal terms and prices which are now extended by The Cable Company to purchas ers of their pianos and organs. The city of Goldsboro may well congratulate itself upon having with in its limits such an enterprising firm as The Cable Company, which makes the city of Goldsboro the dis tributing point of North Carolina, and such a practical and stable man as its general manager, Mr. A. W. Chandler, under whose control the business of The Cable Company must prosper. FIGHT A DUEL. Two Prominent Men of Bainbridge, Ohio, Fill Each Other With Lead. Bainbridge, O., Feb. 27.
