Forger Wood, the late J. B. For

- It is in order now for some of, Mr.
T. Belzebub Reed's backers in the
House to introduce a bill abolishing
all elections for Congressmen and
authorizing the sulphurous gentle
man to name them all. If he can
make a quorum of the House he
ought also to be able to make indi

The Chicago Times says that "H.

Plenty or Weather.
We have had aplenty of weather
to-day and an unpleasing variety of
it. We have had wind and rain and
snnshine. The Southwest storm
signal was run up to the masthead
this morning and at 1:30 p. in. it was
changed to the Northwest signal.
At first there'wasabig storm central
in Arkansas and moving rapidly to
the Northeast but, as usual,, it did
not amount to much here. At 1;30?
when the signal was changed, :the
torm was central from Maryland to
Michigan. At this place, during the
forenoon, the greatest vol icity reach
ed by the .wind was 36 miles anhour,
from the Southwest. At South
port it was very high, attaining a
velocity of 54 miles an hour, from
the South, thus verifying thedisplay
of the signals. The rainfall here
was .24 of an inch, most of which
fell in about 10 minutes thi9 fore
noon. No disasters have thus far
been reported. The rain area has
passed this section, and the fore
casts now are for fair weather this
afternoon and "to morrow.

Wedding Bells in Raleigh.
Miss Gertrude Winder, daughter
of Maj. "John C. Winder, a young
lady who has many friends and ad
mirers in this city, was married at
Christ Church, Raleigh, on Wednes
day night, to Mr. William R. Tucker,
son of Mil j. R. S. Tucker, of that
city. It was an unusually brilliant
wedding and the News and Observer
devotes over a column of type to a
description of the event.
Strong Men.
Women love strong men. A weak
man may excite their sympathy and
a woman's careful tenderness soothe
and soften the anguish of a weak
man's soul, but the laughing, joy
ous, warm, exuberant love of women
dear, belongs to the men that are
strong and noble and kind. Then
why will a man continue weak,. and
mean and peevish?
An old gentleman Avritex: "B. B.
B. gives me new life and strength.
If there is anything that will make
an old man young, it is B.'B. B."
Some men say, and women too,
they never feel weak and mean ex
cept in the spring. Why then feel
weak and mean and nervous and
prostrated in the spring time when
life and spirit awakens with thrill
ing buoyancy even the vegetable
world? Must you allow sluggish
blood, inactive organic functions,
rusty joints and general weakness
to make your life miserable simply
because the long winter has restrain
ed your natural activity? It need
not be. If only you will use that
pleasant and incomparable tonic
blood purifier known as B. B. B. or
Botanic Blood Balm your health in
spring time will be all that you can
wish. Try it this spring. Try it now
P. A. Shepherd, Norfolk, Va., Au
gust 10, 1888, writes: "I depend on
B. B. B. for the preservation of my
health. I have had it in my family
now nearly two years, and in all
that time have not had to have a
doctor."
Sunday School Convention.
The New Hanover County Sunday
School Convention met in St. Paul's
Lutheran Church last night.
The devotional exercises were con
ducted by Rev. W. McC. Miller, af
ter which the president, Mr. GeDrge
Chadbourn, introduced the Rev. F.
W. E. Peschau, who gave the Con
vention an address of cordial wel
come. His beautiful address was respond
ed to by one equallv handsome and
felicitous from the Rev. F. D. Swin
dell, after which Mr. Chadbourn and
Mr. J. S. Mitchell, the president and
secretary and treasurer of the past
year, submitted their reports. -
Mr. Chadbourn stated that after
careful inquiry it had been ascer
tained that in the county and, in the
city there were ample Sunday school
privileges provided fer every child
in the country, and expressed the
wish that this Convention would
try to push the work in counties
contiguous, In which the same happy
state of things did not exist.
The statistical report of Mr. Mitch
ell related, in part, to the work of
1888, and as full reports are expected
to be presented by every school to;
night for-. 1889, we will wait
for them befors presenting the gen
eral conditional of the work in the
county.
Mr. George Chadbourn was res
elected President for the next year;
Col. Roger Moore, Vice Presidentt
Mr. W. C. Peterson, Secretary and
Treasurer, and the Executive Com
mittee consists substantially of the
same gentlemen as acted the last
year.
Dr. Pritchard," according to pro
gramme, spoke on the importance
of the Sunday Sch ool work and uni
ted effort, and in concluding his re
marks entered a motion that a gen
eral teachers' claims be formed, to be
taught by each pastoi for one month
in turn, at the rooms of the Young
Men's Christian Association, every
Saturday at 4 p. in.
After some discussion it was re
solved that this meeting should be
on Friday at 4 p. m., instead of Sat
urday, and Dr. P. H. Hoge was ap
pointed teacher for the first month
the class to . meet next week for
the first time.
Following is the programme for
this evening, viz:
Twenty minutes devotional exer
cises, conducted by Rev. B. H. An
derson. Reports of Sunday School Super
intendents, giving statistics, "and
difficulties and encouragements in
the work, after which the meeting
will be open for discussion, to be
