Health is a price- mless jewel. Every body admits that. Yet the people who protect their gold by burglar alarms, and lock their dia monds in a steel .vault, make not the least effort to pro tect the jewel they declare to be price less. , Some day thej find the jewel is gone, stolen by thief Disease, and they SIOLEM PRICELESS JEWEL WILLGlVt y TORECOYERLlJ I are willing to give everyining to get it hnpk. The quickest and surest way to the recovery of lost health, is by the use of that radical and rational remedy, "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Dis eases which originate in the stomach must be cured through the stomach. A host of chronic sufferers who had " doc tored" for years for a diseased heart, liver or spleen, have at last used "Golden Medical Discovery" for the blood, stom--ach and organs of digestion and nutri tion, and found a perfect cure of the hitherto incurable ailments. The most convincing argument for a trial of the "Golden Medical Discovery" is that it has cured so many people " given up " by the doctors. - There is no alcohol, cocaine, opium .or other narcotic in "Golden Medical Discovery." "I have long felt It my duty to acknowledge to you what your 'Golden Medical Discovery' ana ' Favorite Prescription have done for me,' writes Miss Alice Hampton, of 199 East 4th St., Lexington, Ky. I " I had intermittent fever (or fever and ague) one year before taking your medicines, ad pus pronounced incurable. Had very bad cdtigh. My arms and shoulders would ache and sometimes I would feel so numb I thought I was dying. I had also a bad case of womb trouble from which I suffered great pain. Had it not been for Dr. Pierce's medicines I know I would have been in my grave. I have taken three bottles of each of your medicines.'' For stomach, bowels and liver, when disordered, use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. ! SOMETIME, SOMEWHERE. ROBERT BROWNING.

The charges mainly consisted of a declaration that Carter had entered into a conspiracy with other persons, intending to defraud the United States.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE - Tarboro Southerner: Mrs. Stickland, an estimable lady about 60 years old, mother of George Stickland. dropped dead Wednesday with apo plexy near Battleboro. Monroe Enquirer : Mrs. Mar tha A. Hargett, relict of the late Jas C. Hargett, died at her-nome in Ltoose Creek township on September 17th, in the 59th year of her age. . Statesville Landmark: Mr. E. F. Hartsell of Fallstown township, sold some cotton here yesterday. As he Was returning home, after dark, on this side of Troutman's two men jumped into his wagon. One of them f rasped his tnroat ana cnoxea mm. ust at this time his pocket ; was torn out and about 1 25 in money secured. After taking the money one of the men fired at him with a pistol, the ball Dassinsr tbrougrh his hat and sineiner his hair above his right temple. The robbers then made their escape. In Eagle Mills township last Saturday, as Will and Shober Renegar and their sister were cutting tops, Will and Shober got into a fight, in which Shober stabbed Will in the breast, the knife penetrating the left lung. Their sister interfered and the wounded man was taken to the house. Tuesday af ternoon-the report was current here that he was dead, and Coroner Geo. Foard and Sheriff Wycoff went up to investigate. They found the supposed dead man alive, but in a critical con dition, having contracted pneumonia. A warrant was issued for eh o. Kenegar and given to Deputy Sheriff J. W. Ward, who arrested the wouid-be fra tricide Wednesday. He was given a bearing by Esq. Angle and committed to jail, where he was lodged yesterday. Chatham Record: On Thursday last two boys at Bvnuni were pla vinsr with a pistol, when, of course, it fired and the ball struck the head of one of them and glanced around it without inflicting a serious wound, although it was a narrow escape. The boy who was shct was six years old and named O'KelJy. The one who shot him was twelve years old and named Moore, and be was so frightened at the shoot ing that he ran away and hid in a pine thicket, where he was found at about sunset. A few days ago the two year old son of Mr. J. (J. Lamus, of this placet by some means got hold of a pistol "that was suoDosed to be un loaded, and in trying to take it away from him it fired, and narrowly missed shooting the boy who took it from him. The present high" price of copper is reviving the "copper mine fever" which prevailed throughout this coun ty about forty-five years ago. when al most every man in Chatham thought he had a copper mine on his farm that would make him rich. Amoncr these Chatham copper mines one of the most notable was on the farm of Mr. Thos. Brewer, about five miles south of Pitts- boro. Several pits were there dug and some ricn ore was found, but no ex tensive mining was done. Mr. Brewer died several years, and his farm was inherited by his nephews, who were living in other States, but who did not pay much attention to their inheri tance until a few days ago. when one of them (Mr. William Brewer), who has been in the mining business in Virginia, arrived here for the purpose of developing and working the old copper mine. SUNDAY SELECTIONS. Doubt is born of the mind; faun is the daughter of tbe soul. God estimates us not by the position we are in, but by the way in wnich we nu it. Itxiioards. There is inspiration for prayer in the thought that God's goodness is greater tban our expectations. That God loves, and, therefore we love, is the essence both of theol ogy and morality. Ram's Horn. Simplicity and purity are the two wings by which man is lifted above all earthly things. Thos. A.. Kempis. A patriot uses his- private in fluence for the public good : a poll tician uses the public influence for his private good. Ram s Horn. They who disbelieve in virtue because man has never been found perfect, might as reasonably deny the sun, because it is not always noon. Augustus Mare. If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom mend, experience your wise counsellor, can tion your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius. Addison. If we had but prayed more, we need not have worked so hard. We have too little praying face to face with God overy day. Looking back at the end I suspect there will be great grief for our sins of omission omission to get from God what we might have gotten by praying. A. A. Bonar. Cheerfulness is allied to cour age and faith, and comes from strength that rests on the eternal. When it becomes a settled habit, it is one of life's richest blessings. If, we believe truly in God and His goodness we must be cheerful ; for His wisdom, power and '.love are omnipotent. If trials and sufferings come to us, we can endure them. Charles A. Mur doch. r. The heart of our creed is what we believe about God ; and we believe that he was revealed in Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world, that in all the past his plans of blessing have been, maturing, that in the pres ent these same plans are moving to ward their consummation, and that some time he will see of the travail of his soul and be satisfied.
