In all cases where a ca thartic is .needed, these Pills are recom mended by leading physicians. Dr. T.E.Hastings, of Baltimore, says : "Ayer's Pil'o are the best cathartic and I aperient within tho ' reach of my profes sion." Dr. John !W. Brown, of Oceana, "W. Va., writes : " I have prescribed Ayer's Pills in my practice, and find them ex cellent. I urge their general use in families." - " For a number of j ears I was afflicted with biliousness which almost destroyed m7 health. I tried various remedies, hut nothing afforded me any relief until I began to take Ayer's Pills." G. S. Wanderlich, Scranton, Pa. "I have used Ayer's Pills for the past thirty years7and am satisfied I should not be alive to-day if it had not been for them. They cured me of dyspepsia when all other remedies failed, and their occasional use has kept me in a healthy condition ever since." T. P. Brown, Chester, Pa. ' "Having. been subject, for years, to constipation, without being able to find much relief, I at last'tried Ayer's Pills, and deem it both a duty and a pleasure to testify that I have derived great ben efit from their use. For over two yeara past I have taken one of these Pills very night before retiring. I would not . willingly be without them." G. W. Bowman, 26 East Main St., Carlisle, Pa. "Ayer's Pills have been used in my family upwards of twenty years, and . have completely verified alii that i3 claimed for ttyem.

Dear Children: Ail the letters his week came from the dear "low ;ountrv," as it was the'eustom in my grandfather's family to call the eastern jart of the State; of which they were latives, having settled the first colony on the Cape Fear River, and lived there for seven generations; and there fore we ail have a strong heriditary attachment to the eastern part of the State. "Little Washington' - sends the first delegate. Der Aunt Beekie: I have not -ent you any money in sometime be cause we are trying to buy a new organ for our church, but my mother says that our dear Bishop's Memorial must not be forgotten, so I will divide with you. I enclose 25 cents now, and will send again as soon as I make some more money, which I do by cutting wood for my aunt. I was ten Wears old yesterday (the 12tb). Truly your Utile friend, First, I must wish you many happy returns of the birthday Master John, cn'.y I advise you not to grow old too fast, for one cannot travel baekwards inage. Then I must tell you that I am very glad to hear from you again. I was thinking of you the other day. Every now and then I look over the list of names to keep them fresh in my mind for that is the only way I see some of them nowadays ! I am glad vou are going to divide pennies with the Cot, for there are so many public and local objects to be cared for that the poor Cot is likely to fare like the Irishman's cow that"came up missing.'' However, I'll trust still to the fideli ty of the Tarheels whose fathers Gen. Lee said he could "always depend nnon." Cuttiner wood is a very manly employment, and there is nothing that oeiter develops the muscies oi tne arms and ehest. Now a bonnv lad v comes next, who has been a verv faithful friend to the Cot, but she says the fifty cents she sends is the last instalment or tne amount she promised, and she cannot promise any more contributions. Of course I am very sorry, ior sev eral reasons, but it would be very bad taste to make any sort of objection, for of course so faithful a friend has a very erood reason for what she does. So I can only say many thanks for all that you have done' for the Cot, and tier my love and best wishes as we part. Then comes one of our pledged con tributors, one of the dear Wilmington children. "Dear Aunt Beckie: 1 enclose 20 cents, my contribution for last month and this month to the Memorial Cot Fund. I hope the Cot Fund will con tinue to prosper. I am one of the "Busy Bees. Lovingly yours, The Cot Fund is not exactly on what in the slang parlance of the day would be called "a boom," Dudley, but I hope it will prosper as you say. Per haps I am unreasonable, and lacking in both faith and patience, but I am so anxious to see the fifties multiply! I know how great a relief it will be to those dear people wno carry the daily burden of St. John's Hospital, when they have one bed that stands .upon its own feet, and is not to be carried on their shoulders every day. one pa tient more, daily bread will not have to be asked for trom week to week. I am clad vou are a "Busy Bee" for j I greatly admire those same pretty! little winged creatures, and have great eomf ort in the thoueht that they are storing "Bee bread" for the Cot. The last delightful letter came from Hyde county- It is much too personal to go into print unless I am willing to "get into hot water!' which I am not! But part of it is pertinent to the Cot. "I am not going to trouble you With excuses for my long delay in sending the children's third offering to the "Memorial Cot," suffice it to say that 1 have been under heavier pres sure than usual for many months, and since you left the News and Observer" I never" see or hear a word from you to remind me, or rather stimulate me to renewed effort. I enclose one dollar for the Cot from the four children, and with a very large amount of love for yourself, and kindly interest in your good works. Faithfully and lovingly jours, Ah , my Lady "Vere de Yere," how your delicious letter set me to thinking that life was not always to me a Barmecide feast! I get very tired of having suggested to me all the nice things that I might have, especially as I can never have the barber's third mother's deb'ghtful opportunity of boxing the ears of a tantalizing fate! You had better write a sort of contin uous letter from time to time as a rest from the mending basket "and all the little et ceteras" you mentioned in that first delightful letter and then when in a propitious hour the dollar and the, letter meet, send both alostg to cheer me as I toil along, dragging a stagnating little half of a lot up the "Hill Difficulty." Oh, but don't I know all about the "unusually heavy pressure for many months?" Only in my case there is no reasonable expectation of any lessen ing of it at any future day! I hope your skies show more of "a (coin) sil ver lining!" I am very sorry you do not see the Wilmington Messenger regularly, as the children's letter is a regular feature in the Sunday and the Weekly issues of it. In my opinion it is the best paper published in the State, and one of the best in the South. . . I am not going to say that I at all approve of the self denial you prac ticed about the Spring letter, tho' I do appreciate the kindness intended, but as I am the loser thereby my gratitude is but half-hearted. Pray accept "payment ia kind" for, tho love and good vrishps, and remember, I can always read even if I cannot write! I have not yet received the promised monthly report from St. John's Hos pital. Miss Maggie, please take notice that it will be in order next week! I cannot come but you can write! Now children, gfod bye. Lovingly, "Aunt Beckie."

A LARGE CROWD IN ATTENDANCE YESTERDAY, Senator Vance Makes a Speech Many New Varieties of Fish Exhibited All Trains and Steamers Crowded with Visitors .Governor Fewle Visits Blorenead. Newbern, Feb. 20. Special. The attendance to-day at the fish.oys ter and game fair was very large. The interior counties of the State were well represented and expressions of appreci ation of the excellence of the exposition were general. Many more varieties of fish were shown, seventy fire in all, and the display of wild fowl was enlarged. Oysters from all the favorite grounds along the Sounds are shown. Senator Vance arrived here on the morning train and spent nearly the entire day at the grounds. He spoke at noon after having been introducedby Clement Manly, Esq. He stated that he. had almost entirely recovered from the recent operation upon his eye. His remarks were full of humor, and he alluded jocularly to his own misfor tune by saying that be had always endeavored to make North Carolinians believe that he had an eye single to their welfare, but that now they all knew it to be so. The topic of his talk was North Carolina's steady growth in the past twenty years. There was no claim to a boom, but this very steadi ness of growth was one of the best as surances of the prosperity of the State and of its future advancement. AH trains ani steamers are coming in to-night packed with people. Some members of the Legislature arrived this evening.The remainder will arrive to-morrow morning in a special tram, anJ will spend the remainder of the day here. They will ret urn on Frida y morning. This morning a sneeial train left here for Morehead City with Governor Fowle and staff, a party of ladiesand President Bryan and the Directors of the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail road. Oa reachiHg a point sixteen miles this side of Morehead City the party ' disembarked and took part in the pleasant ceremony of spiking down the last of the steel rails with which the State has relaid the road. The spikes were driven by Misses Helen Fowle, Charlotte Grimes, Bessie Tucker Agnes Cotten and Minnie Bryan, Colonels Fred A. Olds, W. H. Williams and Alston Grimes, and Capt. Hand, of the revenue cutter Stevens. Governor Fowle drove the last spike and made a neat speech of congratulation upon the completion of the work, to which President Bryan responded. x The train then took the Governor and party to Morehead City, where an hour was spent. Newbern. Feb. 21. Special j The third day of the Newbern fish, oyster and game fair has been the largest and most important day. Over 5,000 persons were present, including visitors from nearly all parts of the State, and from several Northern States. Mr. Pratt of Baltimore, arrived last night. One hundred members of the North Carolina Legislature arrived on a special train and spent several hours in persons 1 examination of the industrial exhibi. Gov. Fowle, Min ister Jarvis, and Senator Vance are present. The Newbern fire department went on the ground with their fine steamers. The exhibits of oysters, clams, shad, rock and trout were the finest ever made here. The game department has been a surprise to all visitors. Live deer, wild geese, ducks, turkeys, swan, partridges, robins, and many other birds known to sportsmen, were exhibited in great profusion. The agricaltural display indicated the great natural wealth of resources and products. Over one hundred speci mens of marl from several couuties were shown. Cotton, corn, millett, hay. potatoes, haras, butter and other products of the farm showed the in dustry of the people. Almost fifty varities of natural woods and a fine exhibit of dressed lumber showed great forest wealth. The Gray Manufacturing Company made a fine exhibit of wood plates and wood pulp made from Cypress. Minister Jarvis responded to calls and in a short speech stated- that his four years' absence had made him a better American than ever and that he had become convinced that we had the greatest and best government and country in the world. Col. Davi. with one hundred and fifty eadets, and Professor Kmsey with a large number of young ladies from the "Kinsey's School," were present. KEEP THK FEET WAR It is impossible to overestimate the value of warm feet at this season of the year. Thousands of valuable lives are sacrificed every year in consequence of damp, cold feet.

Letter of ConjrresBmaQ Cowlea, He did me a great service once when I was engaged fighting at close quarters with the sabre in the midst of a Yankee column, into which I had charged alone, by snooting a Yankee sergeant, who was assailing me from the rear whilst I was eneaged with the others m front. I have not seen him since the war, but I have never forgot ten him, and hearing that he was sick, and probably had fallen into needy circumstances, I sent him the money. Liberia Not th United States. Lit er of Minister Smith. The citizens of this country are learnine by degree that Liberia is not the United States. They have learned that in Liberia there comes no frost, hence the apple and peach tree of the United States will not thrive here. They have learned that the whole year, from beginning to end, is one long Summer day, as it were. Here nature does not clothe the sheep in a woolen coat, but gives them a dress of hair. Julian Carr for Railroad Commiskloner. Letter in Durham Plant. I believe one of the strongest points in Mr. Carr's character, that "emi nently qualifies" him for the position, is prudence. Never would he act until eyery one had been heard and every circumstaKce fully weighed, but when he once reached a right and just de cision he would see it carried out if a thousand obstacles opposed.

Bat Soon Melts and Gives Placto Uuat : tractive Mad Tired legislators The Railway Commission Bill ot Likvlr to fass XUesant Entertainment. Mesenger Bureau. ( Raleigh, N.C., Feb. 22. 1889. t Yesterday afiernoon at 4:30 snow flakes began to fall, very quietly. They came down more and mote rapidly until by 8 o'clock there was a heavy fall. By midnight three inches were down. By 8 o'clock this morning the average depth was nine inches. The sight was a beautiful one, but there was an unromantic side also, for many trees were ruined by the break ing of limbs and wires were down iu all directions. Th telephone sys em was completely disabled, and there ws no communication by the fire alarm telegraph between the city and 1 he pump house. Telegraph wires were all in a tangle and no dispatcher could be sent. A light rain fell for a while this morning and the snow melted quite rapidly. A good . many sleighs were out, but owing to the soft character of the snow the sleighing was poor. The snowfall is the heaviest since the middle of March, 1S85, when six teen iuches fell here, and over three feet forty miles north of here. The legislators came home in their special train from Newbern at 2 o'clock this morning. They were pretty tired and hungry. Newbern was overrun with people yesterday, and the food supp'y was hardly enough for the un expectedly great demands. The belief here now is that the Rail wav Commission bill will" not pass. That is the state of the case, as far as your correspondent can gather from interviews. The matter is of course of the most extreme importance. The proposed football game between University and Wake Forest College teams was again necessarily postponed on account of the snow. AH the teams were here and the Trinity team also. Of course they were disappointed. The most elegant entertainment of the season here, and one of the most pleasant ever given in Raleigh, was held this evening at the handsome club house of the Capital Club. It was a reception in special compliment to the ladies, and was by card. The entire building was decorated with flowers furnished by Steinmetz, and a string band discoursed pleasing music. The members ol the Club were present in full strength, and made most agree able hosts. On behalf of the Club the following ladies received: Mrs. Jas. McKee. Mrs. Charles E. Johnston, Mrs. Thomas 8. Kenan, Mrs. A. B. Andrews, Mrs. F. H. Busbee, Mrs. George E. Snow and Mrs. V. E. Turner. The reception committee was composed of the following gentle men: Messrs. Charles M. Busbee, James McKee, Thomas S. Kenan, E. C. Smith and E. B. Engelhard. Invi tations were sent to the clubs at Win ston, Asheville, Wilmington, Norfolk and Richmond. The snowy weather outside only made the scene within the building the brightor. There was dancing in the handsome parlor and .a supper was served with great taste. The club had many guests, and made all at home. It was a fitting observance of Washington's birthday. Not a few yisitors were from out of town. Gov. Fowler and some of his party came home this afternoon from New bern on a special train. Your corre spondent came home yesterday, in company with others of the party. Raleigh was well represented at Chapel Hill to day, and some belles of this city ngured at the dance last even ing, which was a very gay affair. Some of the handsome and large magnolias here are to-day damaged by the snow, especially those in the capi tol square. The magnolia is a very brittle tree. The Signal and Chronicle this week have a great deal to say about the Bureau of Labor statistics. Ii is a current belief thatt there will be some steps taken to abolish the bureau. There may be nothing in this rumor. There was a bill yesterday in the House to lop off various appropriations made from Agricultural Department funds, among them tbe one setting apart the appropriation for the maintenance of the Labor Bureau. The purpose of this bill is to the more quickly put the Agricultural and Mechanical College in shape, since it will then get more funds. If it passes a direct appropria tion will have to be made trom the treasury for the maintenance of the bureau. The pablie schools were all closed to-day. and most of the public build ings. The Legislature went on with its work, the members saying that they would just as soon be in the capitol as to be lounging about the hotels. Sixty overcoats were to-day issued Company A, Second Regiment, at Fayetteville. This makes twenty-five companies thus equipped. In all 1,145 overcoats have been issued to enlisted men. The troops are looking with great pleasure to the encampment next July. The number will be twenty nine companies in camp, or two more than last summer. The number of men will approximate fourteen hun dred, it is probable. Gov. Fowle will go into camp and remain the entire time, it is probable. This is the cus tom in many of the States. There is a good deal of uncertainty yet about the negro movement from this section to Kansas. The stir has in a large degree abated. Some very sensible negroes have advised their people to stay right here. Mee Lynching In Mississippi. Port uibson, Miss., Feb. 23. A squad of men from Vicksburg came here Thursday night. Yesterday morning they boarded the Southern train and flourishing their pistols, took Westry Thomas, colored, from the deputy sheriffs who were convey ing him to Natchez, for safe keeping. The squad started with him in the dir ection of Vicksburg, and it is undeig stood lynched him on the edge of the Big Black Swamp. Thomas had at tempted to outrage two young ladies ia Vicksburg; one escaped him and the other was rescued by another ne gro. Railroads Blocked and Dirt Bonds Impas sable. IsHrEMiXG, Mich., Feb. 23. The worst storm of the season and one of the most severe ever know is now rag ing over the entire noper peninsula.
