Somehow
They seem to be
Inclined to stand back and let me
Have anything that strikes my
Fancy. Why,
Men who used to pass me by
Without .so much as a nod now
Stop and bow.
And call me by my first name.
They claim
To bo interested in my family, too;
They ask about the health of Joe
And Flo
And Sue.
They offer me cigars.
And when 1 meet them in the

They want to pay my fare.
I seem to be
Their
Dearest friend.
Things I write
Are printed every night
Signed “Pro Bono Publico,”
“Tax-payer.” “Voter” and so and so.
They send
Me invitations to act
As vice-president at political meetings.
In fact,
It seems that they must

Have it charged. It’s grand
To be appreciated at one’s .true worth.
I am the salt of the earth;

THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, 1899.
HENRY BLOUNTON EASTER
THE WILSON PHILOSOPHER FOUND IT ALL
BEAUIY AND HARMONY.
• A Play by the Wilson Dramatic Club. Pro
tracted Services cinducted by Rev. 0.
L. Strirgfield.
Wilson, N. C.. April 3. —(Special.)
The glorious anniversary of our Sa
viour's resurrection was most fittingly
and most beautifully observed in Wilson
on Sunday by our several churches. Tin
clouds, which had hung over the k.v
during the night, had all drifted away,
and their shadows had been entombed
in a God built pyre of Hdavenly redin nee.
So radiant was the day that it seemed
as if the celestial artillerists had placed
in position their finest batteries of bril
liancy, and were firing into the bosom
of the earth tlidir sharpest missiles of
richest radiance, making every object
glisten and sparkle with their quivering
eorruseations. Yes, bolts of dazzling
radiance came flashing down, and the
whole earth was aglow with splendor and
with glory, and everything spoke of
new life, and a new hope and a resplen
dent existence. -Sweet throated birds,
with tongues throbbing with strains of
purest music, were in sweetest concert,
and every twig was entwined with a
wreath of song. All hearts were a*
tuned to the rythm of the glorious day.
for then- was inspiration in everything,
for all obj ets that greeted the eye spoke
of joy and freshness and purity and
beauty and the glory of a resurrection.
In all the churches the services wen
very appropriate, and the music was
very inspiring and soul-lifting. All
things were in harmony with the day
so full of hope and comfort for all
believers, tin- day that witnessed a
mighty triumph over death and tin
grave, and taught the truth of tin- resur
rection of the body, and the mover and
sweeter life so beautifully and so elo
quently typified in bursting buds ’ and
springing grass and blooming flowers.
In the Presbyterian church the music
was superb, and seem d like the churns
of Heavenly harmonies. The s.rnum
by Mr. Thomas was masterly in its
arrangement and unanswerable in its
logic. The tondemes of its pathetic
breathings, the limpid flow of its portic
'tendency and the rich finish of its graphic
painting made if indeed a most finished
production. The stream of his thought
is always deep and strong and forceful,
and whether it boars on its bosom the
sober grains of truth and wisdom, or
the delicious dainties of a poetic mind,
it is always marked by that deep cur
rent of vigor, force and purity which
shows the skilled logician and the polish
ed rhetorician.
All lovers of the drama are nntieipa*-
ong a delightful feast on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights, for that highly inter
esting play “The Midnight Fire" will
be presented by those two superb and
polished actors. Messrs. Bertram and
Willard, aided by our magnificent home
talent, represented in part by Mrs. Lucy
Whitehead, Anderson. Daisy Weaver
and Gladys (.’lark—ladies of the finest
historic talents. It wil Is- remembered
that these same artists gave “Captain
Dick" some time ago in a fautless man
ner, and won admiration from all who
witnessed their admirable rendition of
that highly interesting play.
The Rev. Mr. Strtingfk-ld is conducting
a meeting in the Baptist church, and is
preaching some of the most powerful
sermons that this writer has ever heard.
Deep interest has la-en manifested, and
wo hope and believe that a glorious re
vival will crown his earnest work .n our
community.
HENRY BLOUNT.

It is said that in the primaries of at
least two wards resolutions will to

men to favor municipal ownership of

People say Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures
when all other preparations fail to do
any good, and you run no risk in giving
it a fair trial.
“ Out of Sight
Out of Mind.”
In other months we forget
the harsh winds of Spring.
*But they have their use, as
some say, to blow out the
bad air accumulated after
Winter storms and Spring
thaws. There is far more
important accumulation of
badness in the veins and ar
teries of humanity, which
needs Hood's Sarsaparilla.
This great Spring Medicine clarifies
the blood as nothing else can. It cures
scrofula, kidney disease, liver troubles,
rheumatism and kindred ailments. Thus
it gives perfect health, strength and ap
petite for months to come.
Kidneys -“ My kidneys troubled me,
and on advice took Hood's Sarsaparilla
which gave prompt relief, better appetite.
My sleep is refreshing. It cured my wife
also.” Michael Boyle, 3473 Denny Street,
Pittsburg, Pa.
Dyspepsia - “Complicated with liver
and kidney trouble, I suffered for years
with dyspepsia, with severe pains. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla made me strong and hearty."
J. B. Emkrton, Main Street, Auburn, Me.
Hip Disease-" Kive running sores on
my hip caused me to use crutches. Was
confined to bed every winter. Hood s Sar

and light dressings of CUTICURA, purest of
emoiiient skin cures. This treatment at once
s ops falling hair, removes crusts, scales and
dandruff, soothes irritated, itching surfaces,
rtirauiates the hair follicles, supplies the roots
with energy and nourishment, and makes the
i:air grow upon a sweet, wholesome, healthy
scalp when all else fails.
My r.calp became full of white dandruff. It formed into a kind of crust
which, when scratched would become irritated and bleed: then a crust would
form where it hard been scratched. It itched so that I thought it would drive me
crazy, and I was ashamed to be in company. I had read a great deal about
GUTICURA, and finally concluded to try it. I cannot express to you in words
the relief and happiness which I received upon the tirst few trials. Before retiring
I would wash my head thoroughly with CUTICURA SOAR and then take a fine
tooth comb and cOmbmy hair very gently. It seemed as though the CUTICURA
Ointment moistened the hard crust, and it came out in the fine teeth of the comb
in big scales and chunks. Then I washed my head again with CUTICURA
SOAR, nibbing the Ointment into the scalp, and when I awoke in the following
morning I frit like new. I have thick, luxuriant hair now since using the
CUTICURA treatment, and iam very proud of it. I value your remedies very
hial'.ly and recommend them to all.
