Hargrave accompanied by his family, were returning from Snow Hill. They had reached - a point about eight miles eastj of Wilson, when a sudden jolt, ofj the vehicle threw the child out. He fell just be tween the wheels and before the horse could be stopped was run oyer. Fortunately the ground .was quite sandy and the little fellow escaped with a badly bruised arm and a- slight cut on the head. . Run Away Monday. Our young friend Joe Best took out one of his newest rigs Monday afternoon. After giving some of his lady friends an airing he took them home and stopped at the gate for a last word. He must have said some thing alarming for the horse took fright and came down trie street beat ing the air with the buggy. The yelling crowd only stimulated the noble steed to fresh efforts. After a good run the animal finally arrived at the stable. Up to this time the buggy had escaped injury but in en tering the stabl ;s his horseship ; did not calculate accurately and the door post could not be moved in time. Result a collision. The damage however, was very slight. f thp Kpp'Hivp in a few days, consisting of almost every style and quality. Visit the. Bee Hive. TarKnrk ctrAPf MprPPf's old stmd. When Will it Be. The tax payers in Wilson have been paying a street force for twenty years to throw mud and sind from the sides of the street to the centre for the first rain to wash down again. The streets to-day J are, in many respects, in the same condition as they were twenty years ago. 1 The money so expended on them during this term of years would, have mecademized a number of them:- When will our town commission ers discontinue, the present system and give the town something perma nentln street improvements?

Gladness Comes With a better understanding1 of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- . forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of , Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families,-and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due "to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti clej which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with "any actual disease, one may be commanded to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best; and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of ; Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
