Goldsboro, N. C, Jan. 2, 1905.
The Board of Education met to
day in regular session, all the mem
bers present.
Mr. James Edwards presented a
petition signed by nineteen of the
"patrons of Pine Forest school, Fork
township, asking for a new public
school house. The petition called at
tention to the fact that the sessions of
the public school are now held in
Pine Forest school house, which is
owned and controlled by a private
Board of Trustees. , .
The action taken on the petition
was that an effort be made to consol
idate Pine Forest and Walter dis
tricts, and that a two room house be
touilt at the forks of the road near
Mrs. Fannie Hook's. Messrs. John
Davis, D O Farrior and James Ed
wards were appointed a committee
to find out the sentiment of the peo
ple in regard to the consolidation of
said districts, and to report to the
Board at the April meeting. It was
also decided that if the patrons of
the two schools should be against
consolidation, a public school house
should be built for the Pine Forest
district.
In settlement with The Grand
Rapids School Furniture Company
for a car load of school desks worth
973 20. the Board pays half cash
and gives note, due Nov. 1005, for i

Tlie Boot-blacks and. a Stranger.
This afternoon as the reporter was
standing in front of the hotelKennon
in search of news,'a well-dres3ed,
'courtly looking gentleman walked
up and took a lean on the front part
of the hotel and breathed a sigh of
relief.
We noticed that the gentleman
seemed to be in trouble an 1 we very
politely approached him "and asked
of him what was his trouble. He
replied :
"I have only been in the city
about 20 minutes, and I have b3en
approached by no less than fifty
boot-blacks, who wanted to know if
I wanted a shine."
"Ihave visited many towns," con
tinued the stranger, "but this heads
anything I have run across thus far
in my travels".
About this time another one of
these tormentors, who had probably
not spied him before, ran up and
fell down on his knees before the
stranger and looking up into his face
like a dying calf, said
!hin0 Law
"Shine, boss ?"
The stranger looked at the boot-
black a minute and said :
"If this don't beat
.!
He struck at the boy with hi3 um-
brella'hllt, he nprar trmhofl him and
this seemed to enrage him the more.
He says : You may -run, you lit
tie imp of the devil, but the next
boy that says shine to me while I
am in this town, I'll whip him if I
(have to pull him out from under his
manimy'3' bed an I lie in the county
jail f r 12 months".
About this time theNewbern train
backed back in front of the hotei and
turning to us the gentleman said:
"Stranger, where does that train
go?"
We informed hirn and he reahd:
"I did intend to .stay over night
here, but I don't propose to have
my life worried out of me, so go;d
by, stranger."
He immediately went for the
ticket office and the last we saw of
him he was boarding the train.

Nervons Stomachs digestion, which is too often
Are All
Caused by Indigestion, branes lining,
the stomach.
This exposes the nerves of the stomach, and causes the glands to secrete ft
poisonous solution Instead of the natural Juices cf digestion. AU of the sup
plies of the body are absorbed Into the blood through the glands along tha
digestive 'tract. We do not require to be told how important It is that these
glands should be kept pure and clean and sweet and healthy. We do not need
to be told that if this Is not done, the blood becomes so Impoverished that It
not only fails to supply the various organs of the body with the nourishment -

receives from decaying food In the various organs, and Instead of their receiv
ing strength from the blood, they receive disease.
The nervous system Is usually the first to show the evil Influences of such
condition. It causes unsound sleep, and rest that Is not refreshing. We get
up In the morning feeling tired, languid and our temper Is uncertain. We lose
that natural cheerfulness so much appreciated by our friends when we meet
them. We have a headache or aches In other parts of the body.
What else can be expected when the nerve cells are continually feeding on
tainted blood. The brain, heart, lungs and all the lesser organs of the body look to
the stomach and depend upon the stom
ach, not only for food and strength, but
for health and life. The kidneys are given
double duty to perform by reason of the
extra amount of Impurities which they
must filter out of the blood, and like the
other organs they too are damaged and
impaired for want of proper nourishment
Impurities which should be filtered out
of the system by the action of the kidneys
are retained In the blood, redoubling the
amount of poison It receives from poor
digestion, thus Increasing the poisonous
deposits made by the blood In the tissues of
the various organs in the course of Its cir
culation, back and forth through the body.
