From the number of cases before us

A WOMAN'S KEEN EYES.
Vew few of the millions who visited
Chicago - during the great Columbian
Exposition in 1893, failed to attend at
least one performance in the great arena
laid out just outside the borders of the
"Dream City," and known far and wide
as Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
Here was seen, illustrated in a most
vivid manner, the customs and manners
of the Indian people, and many abso-
uteiy lalthlul incidents ot life on the
prairie and plain and in the forest of pioneer-1-
days was reproduced. Here,
to, was seen the equestrian Congress of
the Rough Riders of the World, and the
excited spectator followed vwtth admira
tion, that thrilled him with delight,
horse races between Cowboys, Cossacss,
Mexicans. Gaucbos, Indians and other
equestrian feats and illustrations of
finished ; horsemanship. Here, too, was
seen-the well-known lady, Miss Annie
Oakley, who, next to Buffalo Bill, is
perhaps the most popular artist of the
Wild West. She performs wonderful
things with the revolver and pistol, and.
like her patron, has a world- wide reputa
tion. : She is beyond doubt the best wo
man shot in the world, and has many
times beaten the record against all
comers. With characteristic modesty,
however, she never talis herself cham
pion. Her eyesight is as clear and ac
curate as the best field-glass, her nerve
is true as steel; and, u she were put to
it, she could hit a pea fixed on the top
most point of the dome of tbe Capitol
at Washington. Another remarkable
expert marksman is Tohnnv Baker, also a
great favorite in the Wild West Exhibi
tion,
In the Wild West Exhibition there is
abundance of variety and no lack of ex
citement throughout. All the features
that have made it famous in- the past
have been " retained, and others have
been added.
This season, to the old management
of Buffalo Bill and Mr. Nate Salsbury,
has been added the experienced and en
terprising James A. Bailey, the emi
nently successful proprietor of Bar
nam's great show.
Colonel Cody will appear at each rep
resentation, and no one should neglect
this opportunity an opportunity which.
by tbe way, may never occur again or
enjoying an entertainment, the like of
which has not been known and certainly
can never be duplicated hereafter.
! Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show
are announced to appear here next Mon
day, the 7th inst., at Hilton Park.

The following is a copy of a circular
letter sent to all. sheriffs in North Caro
lina from the State Treasury Depart
ment, viz; I
Raleigh," Sept. 30..,.
Dear Sir: Sec. 25 Revenue Actroro-
vides that -every person;' company .: or
manufacturer, who sells pianos or or
gans in North Carolina, shall pay a tax
of (250.00. I find that but few have paid
the tax. You should see that every
dealer in pianos or organs pays the tax.
l have made the most liberal , construc
tion that the law will admit, the same as
in case of sewing machines. All are lia
ble except those acting only as agents
for manufacturers or dealers outside the
State; who take orders and the instru
ment is sold at tbe factory and shipped
directly to the agent on each order, or
directly to tbe customer. Those who ex
change for organs or pianos, and trade in
them, are clearly liable for the tax.
You are not a law-maker, nut it is your
duty to execute tbe laws that are made,
and if they appear to be hard and bur
densome, that does not excuse you from
executing them. It is your duty to see
that all pay the tax that the law imposes.
Any one carrying qn business ' in your
luuulj wuu uaa uul ujuipucu wuu mis
law, snouid he proceeded against as the
law demands.
Respectfully. &c.
W. H. WORTH. '
State Treasurer.

Weldon. N. C, October 1. A col
ored tramp attempted to board a freight
train on the A.C. Line at Belfield last
night and fell and was badly mangled.
He was brought tolthis city by the com
pany, and the very best medical atten
tion is being given him. This 1s a very
commendable act upon the part of ' the
company, as they are in no way respon
sible for the in jury. .
We have had no rain for several
weeks, and everything is very dry. We
have had but little sickness.
