more than two months, with no better re

After returning from the Institute, I was
rsnuaded to try Mrs. Person's remedy, and
had not used it more than a week before jl
dlscoTeredita curatiye and healing proper
ties. My Bores Boon began to heaJ , and the
color of my ekin changed as fast as tbe sores
aealed. 1 hadtot thought of ever getting
well ag-ain, but my hopes increased, my low
epiritednew fled before thi remedy, and I
am now enjejineplendid health and am in
wod spirits The remedy is mild as a pur
ptlye, and a strong tonic ; it will heal the
ott stubborn sore in three weeks if taken
jesularij. It ia my opinion that it 6hould
w taken seme time after the sore ia healed',
to remore the cause of its effects . It 6houid
ken regularly by all means,.for I have
metimes neglected it, from the pressure of
usineas, and in all cases found that the
re already made would commence to rer
Jfrade, and for this alone it should be
uien regularly until an elTectual cure is
completed. -Nothing should prevent regu
jwtyin the use of the remedy and it should
w liken at the proper time. I would rej
commend to all who are suffering from
Wula to try it. It will surely cure you

A Town Without Mails.
There is a town in North Carolina, and
a town of some importance too, that is
absolutely without mail facilities. We
refer to Columbia, in Tyrell county.
They have had no mail there for six weeks
and when they want to get any or when
they have letters to post they put a man
on a horse and send him fifty miles to
the nearest postoffice. We ascertained
this fact through a letter from the regis
ter of deeds, written to Washington Cityf
explanatory of the fact of the omission
of the vital statistics of that county from
the report, because of the fact that, there
being no mail to Columbia, the blank
forms were not received there until the
lists had been closed. The letter was
forwarded from Washington to Wil
mington to Dr. Wood, Secretary of our
State Board of Health.

street. The fire iu the lime in Messrs
E. G; Barker & Co's. warehouse was all
suppressed last Saturday night, and the
street in front is still - white -with lime
water. Much of this found its way to
the river, and the streets were yesterday
carefully cleaned and the lime thus
gathered carted off to localities where it
may be needed. The building in which
the lime was stored is badly damaged,
the north wall, dividing from Messrs.
Harding Johnson & Co's. premises, have
given way to the pressure from within.
Messrs. Johnson & 'Co. were damaged
to the extent of being compelled to re
move a frame buildingwhich had been
buift against the wall, and its contents.
