MRS. JOE PERSON'S
REMEDY FOR

NEVER FAILS.
ItVill Cure if Fairly Teste 3.
Itr.vesme much pleasure to be able to
lUatlit Itave derived an effectual cure of
fccrofuJi from the use of Mrs. Joe Person's
rfsfdy fur that disease. I had Buffered
Iran Scrofuli for more than three years,
ul hid despaired of ever getting, well
tii treated during: that time by three very
eiaentphysicianSjWithout any good result.
oea went to the National Surgical msti
ti'je, it Atlanta. Ga., and was. treated there
core Uun two months, with no better re
mit than m? familv rhyslcians met with
After returnlnsr from the Institute, I was
rtrsuadetl to try Mrs. Person's remedy , ana
. h&d not used it more than a week before I
discovered iu curative and healing proper
ties. My sorts soou bec-an to heal, and the
color of my skin chanced as fast as the sores
brairtl. I had not thought of ever getting
well apain, but my hopes Increased, my low
piritednes fled before th i remedy, and I
ia now enjoying splendid health and am in
rd ptrit5- The remedy is mild as a pur
r&Te, and a etr&ng tonic ; it will heal the
w Kubboni sore in three weeks if taken
Jirlj. It is my opinion that It should
KUken some time after the sore is healed,
to reaoTe the cause of its effects. It 6houid
k taken regularly i,y an means, for I have
onetimes neglected it. from the pressure of
tiiness, and in all cases found that the
already made would commence to re
Jrade, and for this alone it should be
Uttt regularly until an effectual cure is
jwjpleted. Nothing should prevent rcgu
Antyin the use of the remedy and it should
taken at the proper time. I would rc
aacmendld all who are suffering from
jwoftl to try it. It will surely cure you
jou give it a fair test. I speak from expe
see and not from hearsay. I am a gratc
recipient of a cure from the use of it and
a tnder many and lasting obligations to
person for the great relief I have ob
fied from use. Sufferers, try it and be
vared, is my advice. I am, respectfully,

The Fire-Alarm Bell.
It is frequently the case that the en
gines arrive at a fire. before the general
alarm from the Market House is sounded.
It is no use for the engines to be at the
scene of conflagration unless there is
some one to handle the hose: As soon
as the alarm is sounded our firemen stop
everything and go immediately to the
fire, but it is generally the case that the
market bell is not rung from ten to fif
teen minutes after the telephonic alarm
has been sounded at the engine houses.
Our firemen are willing to work, and
never shirk their self-imposed daty, and
we think it nothing more than an act of
common justice that the city authorities
should have the bell sounded promptly,
We think some attention should be paid
to the behests of our self-sacrificing fire
men.
The Excursion Last Sight
Capt. Harper never does anything by
halves, and in view of the fact that the
music which was to furnish a part of the
evening's pleasure did not attend, he
gave-his moonlight excursion down the
river last evening free of cost to thosein
attendance. The trip was a most de
lightful one and was hugely enjoyed,- To
persons who are confined at their places
of business, these long hot days, a little
trip down the river in the evening is a
most refreshing ani exhilerating one, and
the nominal cost, 25 cents, which is the
regular and unchanged price, is cheap
enough, and should be an incentive to
persons to enjoy the fresh, pure air.
Capt. Harper gives these excursions for
the benefit of the people and can be said
to be influenced by no selfish motives in
the matter as it takes a great many twen
ty .five cent pieces to pay his expenses,
to say nothingf the fatigue he must feel
after standing by his wheel all day.

Mr. L. M. Williams has so far recov
ered from his recent attack of billions
fever as to be able to appear on the
streets to day. He is still quite feeble
but we hope to see him grow strong rap
idly. .
The woman from Rome, . the special
friend of Policeman No. 9, who was or
dered to roam tut of the city, is still
walking or staggering about. As soon
as she was let out of prison this morning
she bought a bottle of whiskey and has
been sticking to it like a sister all day.
Behind the Bars.
It is remarkable with what tenacity
some of our business men cling to busi
ness. A few years ago one of our
city brokers followed a merchant to a
lawyer's office and thence to a chuueb.
Another stuck so long and close last
night, endeavoring to make a sale, thai
he actually got locked up in the store.,
Jb or once in his lire it is presumed he
went home to his family after his release
and confinement from behind the bars.

Science in the last few ycara has gain
ed a terrible foothold in this world. 1 1
has rattled the dry bones of fogyism
made pi out of wornout theories,and upset
ideas which have been established for
centuries. The latest and most aston
ishing fact that has been developed is
that there is a scientific mode of kissing.
The day when a young man could grab
a girl around the neck and , gobble a
kis3 in a rough but comfortable manner
is past. The time when he could encir
cle her waist with one arm, get his
shirt bosom fall of hair oil and pi
routte his lips over every square inch
of her countenance, is no more. Sci
ence has proclaimed against it, and man
shudders but remains silent. The old"
style of kissing, which sounds like some
one tearing a clapboard off a smoke
house, is now considered bad taste, and
consequently going out of fashion, al
though the majority of girl3 admit that
science has cruelly destroyed all the com"
fort of a long, lingering, heart-thrilling
kiss, and this fact causes them to ex
press no little regret The improved
scientific method of kissing is to throw
the right arm languidly around the
fair one's shoulder, lift her chin 'up
with the left hand, until her face
is pointed at an angle of fcrty-flve
degrees or rather until it has an aspect
resembling the bowsprit of a cjipper-built
sloop then stoop softly and graze
about her lips in a quiet, solemn sort of
a way, and tickle her nose softly with your
moustache until she cries, "Ouch I"
This is scientific kissing ; bat there is no
consolation in it nothing to make a
man feel like a couple of galvanic butter
flies were galloping along his spinal col
umn. It is flat lukewarm j lacks sub
stance, and if not stale, it is at least un
profitable. Young ladies are again wearisir the
hair parted on one side.

A Workingman says: "Debt, pover

caused by a sick family and large bills
for doctoring, which did no good. I was
completely discouraged, until one year
ago, by the advice of my pastor, I pro
cured Hop Bitters and commenced their
use, and in one month we were all well,
and none of us have been sick a day
since; and I want to say to all poor men,
you can keep your families well a year
with Hop Bitters for less than one doc
tor's Tisit will cost." Christian Advo

Fort Fisher Again j
It is a mistake, as asserted in. the
Star, this morning, that Col.; Fremont
built the original fort at Fort Fisbcr.
Col. Fremont assumed the command of
the coast defences August 31st, 1SG1, at
which time the fort at Federal Point,
then known as Confederate Point, was
not a romance but a reality. When Col.
Fremont took charge the works were
breast high with several guns mount
ed on them. Col. F. afterwards built
upon and enlarged and added to the
work and the armament. Hb brought
arifling machine here from Charleston
and rifled the guns at Caswell; as well as
at Fisher. On September 14, 18G1, Col.
Fremont issued an order naming Fort
Fisher,in honor of the gallant Col. Chas.
F. Fisher, of the 6th N. C, R6girnent.
We are not. guessing, but giving such
facts as we know to be such, and it is
1 t
simply in the interests of a correct his
tory that we give them. There was, we
think, a name for the Fort, before it was
called Fisher but we cannot remember
now what it was. Perhaps some of our
friends will help us to recall it.
