Some sewerage pipes are being put in by private individuals' on Green street. Sanitary considera tions demand that more work of that kind should be uone ; for health is of more consequence than wealth. We call attention to the advertise ment of the Scotland Neck Steam Dye Work's in this issue. We know the' gentleman at the head of the "works and can testify as to the ex ' ':! -ncc of the work done there. Col. f. F. Bruton.

Mr. Cullen Battle and wife, of St. Louis, former residents of Wilson, are in the city visiting the family of Mr. B. B. Rhodes. Dr. D. S.

Stallings and family, after spending a few days with their pa rents and friends in Wilson, returned to their home in Newbern last Mon day. Water Gauge. On consultation with the fire de partment, the city fathers have de cided to put in a water gauge at the police - headquarters. That was sug gested In these columns some weeks ago and we are glad to see it done. It will prevent any luture dispute as to the amount of water in the stand pipe in case of fire. Prefts Association. The next annual convention of the North Carolina Press Association will be held at Morganton, May 23rd and 24th. - Morganton's Chamber of Commerce invited the Association to meet there and become the guests of that body. Morganton is a thrifty mountain town and will no doubt furnish entertainment for the editors. Sanitary Notes. ' There should be a sewerage lead ing from the jail. We have been told that people living in the neigh borhood of that institution are very much annoyed by the unwholesome air which surrounds that part of the public property. Health requires that something should be done about it at once, and we hope the matter will be brought to the attention of the commissioners at the next meeting Sheep KiIIiiiR Iogs. Two r three nights ago some dogs got after the sheep on Mr. F. W. Barnes' place and hilled one The sheep were then put in the fold at night, but the dogs would come and endeavor to scale the walls to get to their -victim e. Oh Tuesday night the dogs were watched and when they .came, the persons watching charged upon the gang, and one dog bit the dust. The Tobacco Acreage. Our remarks about the tobacco! acreage some time ago brought the Greenville Reflector to its feet. The editor of that paper said that we were wrong, but before he gets through admits that we were right in two of the disputed points and possi bly in the third. It is well known that an increase in the east does not mean an increase of production at large. On the contrary we think that an increase in the east is accom panied by a decrease in the west. . T : An Explanation. ' jWe are informed that some were offended by what we said last week in regard to the town election. Our words have been wrongly construed We did not intend to cast any reflec tion upon any one. More thanthat we can-say truly that the town has honorable and capable officers. All we intended to say was that the new bdard that was nominated last week are in favor of reducing the expenses of the town until the indebtedness is paid.. That is what we meant. We just simplythought that it was bad policy to increase expenses when the town was already in debt, and said so.' If, ia saying it, we wounded the (eelings of any one, we are sorry, and disclaim all intention of doing so. IN! HONOROF VANGE. LAKGE CROWD DOES HONOIt TO HIS mSTTNGUISHKD NA1IE.

He called CoLj. B. Stick- ne' to the chair, and upon motion ol- Sticknev was made permanent chairman, and W. C. Allen was re quested to act as Secretary. Dr. T. A.

Bruton, in behalf of the com mittee read the following resolutions, which were adopted : Whereas, our omniscient God, the creator of men and nations, has in his inscrutable wisdom called from earth Senator Z. B. Vance, a patriot. soldier, statesman, and scholar. Now, therefore be it resolved by the peo ple of Wilson county in meeting as sembled, ist. That a great man has fallen. 2nd. That the State of North Caro lina has lost one of her most faithful sons. 3rd. That while we lament his de mise, we rejoice in the distinguished service rendered by him to us and our common country. 4th. That while on an occasion of this kind, "words are common, lan guage is vain," yet we ask that these expressions be counted as faint en dices of our regard for Zebulon Baird Vance, who though dead, will continue to live in the minds and hearts of his countrymen. 5th. That we extend to the sorrow stricken family our heartfelt sym pathies. -6th. That these resolutions be furnished to our county newspapers for publication, and a copy be for warded to the bereft family. Jno. F. Bruton, F. W. Barnes, Com. Jonas Oettinger, J After the reading of the resolutions the following gentlemen made short appropriate speeches : Elder P. D. Gold, Dr. E. G. Moore, of Elm City, T. J. Hadley, Rev. T. N. Ivey, and W. II . Yarboro, Jr. All the speak ers paid tributes to the character of the honored dead in eloquent and fit ting words, j Sweet music was rendered by a choii selected for the occasion, and after the benediction by Dr. Mundy the meeting adjourned. Many from the country were pres ent, thus showing how strong a hold Senator Vance had upon the hearts of the people of Wilson county. No man that has ever lived in the bor ders of North Carolina had a firmer hold upon the affections of the people. Summer School for Teachers.

Our professor was visiting Lowel i last Sunday. j We have two local fish brokers in Kenly, who seem to take pleasure in ' accommodatinoj all who want to buy. At this writing, April seems toconT tinue to borrow temperature from ! January, but people are planting cot ton nevertheless There was some excitement in Kenly last Saturday evening, caused by two negroes having a fisticuff which brought our trusty policeman . . i to the scene of action, but one of the I darkies seemed to be unwilling for '; the policeman to occupy the same juxtaposition with himself, conse quently he went to the woods with about a dozen men after him, and fie may be yet running for 'aught those men know. . There was a wreck ol one of the through freights last Friday morning, just above Kirby's Crossing. There was not much damage, but the road was impassable for trains till about 2 o'clock p. m. The trains just piled up at Kenly. There were four here when the track was cleared. Our efficient agent, Mr. Alford, took train orders that day till his eyes looked j like a marsh rabbit's. v Dot got an awful scare about our good boys one morning last week. About 7 o'clock a. m. I saw the policeman go to the room where one of them slept, and called "Stancell, Stancell," and he put 'right out to where another one slept, and when he got there he commenced calling "Peter, Peter," and then turned toward the warehouse where the oth ers slept. I thought the boys must have been cutting up last night. I told him to hold on. I went up near him and spoke in a low voice and asked him what was the matter. He said he was just waking up The boys to eat breakfast. You see the boys board with the policeman. Dot went into the country peddling fish last week, and it being a ' new business to him, he asked for instruc tions, and was told tj take a chicken cage and take chickens for fish. He drew up to a house j near night. A chicken was caught and when brought to the wagon she was clucking. Dot says "that hen is sitting. I don't want her." The proprietor says "she has not been sitting, she's been laying, that's a laying cluck." I thought that must be something new but may be all right so I took her. Every house I went to after that, as soon as I would stop that old hen would fall to clucking ; then the peo ple would hollow out, "he's got somebody's old sitting hen." Now if I could have kept my anger up be tween people's houses like it was at their houses, I would have slung that old hen into her everlasting eternity. After I got back to Kenly .a friend of mine came to Kenly and toll me that there were six or eight men talk ing of taking me with warrants, claiming that that old hen had I run their chickens crazy, and they were all leaving home. In order that the evidence should be circumstantial, I shipped that old hen to Norfolk, where she can have the pleasure of clucking the jninnows and tadpoles to the surface of the surrounding waters. Dot. An Alligator CansUJ. On last Saturday a young alhga- tor, aDout tnree ieet Jong, was brought to town and exhibited on our streets. The animal was caught in a canal on Mr. Edwin Barnes' farm a few miles in the country. A negro discovered the animal and gave it a whack with a shovel, which laid it out. It is thought that others must be in the neighborhood, for this young one would hardly stray off alone. KNOWLEDGE -Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy lite more, with less expenditure, by more promptly .adapting the world's best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxulive principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Ha excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas an t to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a erfect lax ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches nnd fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid ney;", Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it 13 perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

Call at Hai'crrave's Next Door o o o o o . o Labor in lAen of Money.- One ' of our enterprising base ballists, the other day, got in the no tion to have some baseball playing this summer. As the old ground has been devoted to something else, it is necessary to have a new ground. So he let it be known that if any of the small boys of the town wanted to enter the charmed circle of Wilson's j base ball players, they could do so by giving labor in lieu of money ; and as every youngster has an abundance of surplus energy but very little cash the proposition has been eagerly ac cepted by numbers of young Ameri ca. Therefore, these boys will be put to pulling up stalks, rooting up stumps, and hoeing the grit, prepar ing for the crowning day of base balling in the near future. It 'is easy to humbug a man once. When he has been persuaded into buying- cheap, interior whiskey he never does it again if he can help it. Inferior whiskey is disgusting, pois onous, and unsatisfactory in every way. Besides it is dangerous to health and comfort. Don't . buy whiskey at random. The risk is too great. Get a iiigh-grade liquor that has been tested and proved. The I. W. Harper, Nelson County, Ky., whiskey has made a reputation by its excellence. It is invariably good and can be always depended upon. Sold by ; J. Will Gardner, Wilson. N. C.
