The skating craze seems to have
taken possession of Wilson. Wood
ard's Warehouse has been thrown
open several nights for the benefit ol
those who wish to enjoy the-sport.
Of course the falls are numerous and
many skaters have a lorcable remind
er of having tested the hardness ol the
floor. We understand that there is
talk of having a skating carnival at an
early day. This will no doubt prove
quite an attraction, as much so as the
bicycle carnivals which have been
held here.
Indigestion is often taken lor
consumption. The word consump
tion means wasting away, and dys
peptics oftenwaste away as badly as
consumptiyes.
The reason people waste away is
because either they don't get enough
to eat, or they don't digest what they
do eat.
if the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will
help you to digest your food and
stop your loss ol flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs, barks and the juices of
fruit, by the well known Shakers of
-Mount Lebanon. It possesses great
tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cur
ed many supposed consumptives
(who were -really dyspeptics), by
simply helping their stomachs to di
gest their food, thus giving them
nourishment and new strength

We think it would be well for the
town commissioners to look into the
ticket plan as suggested by The Ar
gonaut some weeks ao. It wouid
take a great deal of trouble and an
noyance oft the shoulders of our
householders and do our streets good
service, help along the worthy poor
and make the unworthy ones, which
are in the big majority pay for what

Those Prtveil Str-etd,
While-visiting Wilmington recent
ly we noticed that a number of the
streets were being, paved with the
"Castle Hayne" rock. We called
the attention of the commissioners
some time ago to the lact that this
rock could be had by simply paying
the freight from the phosphate beds
at Castle Hayde, to Wilson. II,
however, the demand for this rock is
increased much more it will soon
command a price on the market and
our chance for paving our streets, at
comparatively no cost, will have
parsed. The roads made by this
rock are smooth and hard and in
in the making ol them there' is this
great'ad vantage, no preliminary prep
aration is necessary, the rock, just as
it leaves the mine is spread over the
surface of the street and left, the pas
sing vehicles soon have it pressed in
to a solid mass closely resembling a
macadamized road. The merchants
ol the town shoud be protected to this
extent at least. The annual loss from
dusi damaged stock would pay the
cost of putting the streets in good
condition. Let's' be be up with the
times and have our town as modern
as any in the State. ;

IN MEMOrtlAM:
Mr. Willie Daniel" died at his home
in- Wilson on Saturday morning,
September 25, 1897, at the age of
seventy-seven years and six months.
It is given to but lew. men to live in a
community for nearly fifty years en
joying, as he did, the universal re
spect, confidence and regard of all
sorts and conditions of men. He
was, in point ot residence, the oldest
citizen of Wilson. He was at the be
ginning of its municipal government
and no man has contributed more to
its growth and well being. Mr. Dan
iel was to the manner born and lived in
touch and sympathy with the people.
He was at all limes liberal in his sup
port of the cause of religion and edu
cation -generous and helpful to the
poor and needy. He was one of
three citizens who iP 1858 built and
gave to Dr. Chas F. Deems the valu
able school property in which the
"Deem's School" was conducted
prior to the late war. He was one
of the oldest members of the Metho
dist church in Wilson, and for many
years one of the Stewards of the
Church. His walk and conversation
were in harmony with his profession.
In his intercourse with men he was
frank, candid, considerate, and in his
thoughts and conversation pure and
lree from guile. His opinions were
well considered and when formed be
came strong convictions. He took"a
deep interest in political questions
and was fond of discussing them. He
was a consistent and unswerving
Union man during the war and, al
though differing with his friends and
neighbors upon most political ques
tions, none ever questioned the hon
esty or sincerity of his opinions or his
purposes. He never sought or desir
ed public office, but was without any
effort on his part elected and served
as a delegate in the Constitutional
Convention of 1868.
He was a man of strong moral
force and courage, he never hesitated
to do what he thought ritht. He
was in the highest and best sense an
independent man. His influence was
always on the side of good morals and
right acting. He was not demon
strative or profuse in his professions
or feelings but he was strong devot
ed in his attachment and affectionate
with those whom he loved. His
friendships were sincere- and endur
ing. He was a good citizen, always
ready to promote the public interests
nd on several occasions rendered
most valuable service to the commu
nity. He was confiding with friends
and it he had an enemy he did not
Iknow it or care to hunt them up.
His faith in and love for God and
man, the only true basis of happiness,
grew with age. He was cheerful,
uncomplaining and gratelul for the
blessings which came to him. He
knew that, by the order ol things, his
departure was near at hand. He ap
proached it with the courage of a
strong, brave man and yet the laith
and simplicity of a child. He knew
whom he had trusted and died in
faith, hope and charity.
Wilson has never had a more pa
triotic, loyal and devoted citizen.
Many ol us, speaking from personal
experience, can truthfully say that we
never hada stronger, better friend.
Some men lose their love and trust
and hope as they grow old. He
kept them all fresh to the last. Some
men cease to have strong convictions
and grow cynical and careless.- He
believed more and not less. His old
age did not come creeping into port
a wreck with broken masts and
rudder gone. Rather having served
his day and generation, having kept
the faith, with a firm hold on the
Rock of Ages, and his heart full of
love for those he left behind he look
ed forward with joy and hope to
meet those who had gone before.
His influence will be felt and his
example pointed to as worthy imita
tion among us.
"So when a good man dies,
For years beyond our ken
The light he leaves behind him
Shines upon the path of men."

About the Waste of Water.
Irnour issue of last week we called
the attention of the authorities to the
lact that the water was escaping from
the stand pipe during the night, at
the rate of five feet per hour. In
commenting upon the same we took
the ground that this waste must in
a large meausure be chargable to
the flush tanks attached to the sew
ers. At a meeting pf the board ol
commirsioners, Monday night, the
matter was brought up and Supt.
Grantham inform the Board t hat our
statement was inacurate, in as much
as the flush tanks were consuming, at
present, On an average ol less than
two feet of water per day. Taking
this statement as correct, then there
is an enormous use in some other di
rection, (about 70,000 gallons be
tween 9 p. m. and 6 a. rri ) which is
not properly accounted for. It now
only remains to ascertain whether this
amount of water is necessary for car
rying on the various plants' which use
water from the public mains and, if
such should prove the fact, then ar
range immediately to have the stand
pipe refilled oftener. ' The introduc
tion of water-meters would in a
measure correct the evil, as it would,
make the consumer more careful in
his use ol water. The water works
-were tnrHn mainly for' the fire pro
tection which they, gaye and nothing
should be permitted which impares
their usefulness in that direction.

a in Facts.
We do not claim that the sun, moon and stars
would cease to shine, and this great big world would
come to an end ; that North Carolina, or even Wil
son county would have to enlarge her almshouse to
receive the starving thousands if it were not for
THE CASH RACKET
or that the streets of Wilson would have grown up
in bushes arid briars had we never opened our doors
at all. We do not wish any one to suppose that we
think that our importance has assumed such mam
moth proportions. But
We do Claim This,
(and have both goods and prices to back it); that
we carry probably as large a stock as any in Wilson.
Buy in large quantities, therefore cheaper, have
better facilities for handling goods, buy for cash and
' sell for cash, therefore enabling us to make the
PRICES THE VERY LOWEST.
Hundreds of people of Wilson and vicinity can
testify to the truthfulness of this statement who have
patronized us for 11 years,, and helped to build this
great business that has no superior in the little city.
To all such friends and patrons
We Extend Our Heartfelt Thanks,
and to the few who possibly have not patronize us,
we will say : You just try for a change some of. the
many hundreds of matchless values we are offering
daily. Compare the quality of goods, the difference
in price, and in 12 months the saving will astonish
you.
