A Skin Disease In a Terrible Condition with Scrofula Sores is Took Hcod's Sarsaparilla and Better than for IO Years. " I had a skin disease which was very troublesome. I took a great deal of strong medicine which did not do me any good and I was at last obliged to give up. I was in a sort of stupor some of the time. Scrofula sores broke out and I could get nothing to do me any good. My daughter told me of a woman who was afflicted as I was and who found re lief in Hood's Sarsaparilla. I concluded to try this medicine. At that time 1 was in a terrible condition with sores on my head and body. The first few doses of Hood's Sarsaparilla seemed to give me relief, and in a short time the sores be gan to heal. My appetite improved and I felt like a new man.

Va., was solemnized in the Methodist church, in the presence of a large numr ber of invited friends of the contracting parlies. - The decorations, which were of evergreens, were tastefully arranged, the chancel, especially, presenting a most beautiful appearance. Precisely at the hour named, Mrs. R. E. Little began play ing the wedding march as the bridal party entered the church. The ushers, Messrs. Wm. Craig and Love Williams, firct moved up the aisle, followed by Misses Lora Little and Annie Howard, flower girls; then came the bride, leaning on the arm of her sister, Mrs. Ollie Ellis, and the groom, leaning on the arm of his best man, Mr. J.

Tujsdiy night the National Hotel was the s :ene of the most magnin- ceat entertainment of the kind this town has, perhaps, ever known. The occasion was the banquet given by the Knights of Wadesb ro Lodge, No. 75. K. of P. The guests of the evening were the Knights' wives and their young lady friends. All expicted a nice supper, but were most pleasantly and amazingly surprised when seated at the two long tables which extended full length on either side the large dining hall. The hall and especially the tables were beautifully and tastefully decorated with bolly, cedar and fruit3. It was most certainly a beautiful and animating scene when the sixty-two peo ple were seated aud in a spirited manner doing full justice to what was the most elaborate and elegant spread ever seen here, and was truly a fea?t fit for the gods. After an hour spent in feasting, Bro. L. D.Robinson acted a3 toast-master, and the following toasts were responded to: "Friendship," Rev. Parker Holmes; 'Our Order," W. K. Boggan; "Pythians as Husbands." Rev. J. Q. Adams; "The Pythian Goat," T. A. Marshall.

You us Man Killed Train. Robert Currie, a young white man was killed by the north bound Vestibule train last Thursday morning. The acci dent occurred a short distance this side of Rockingham. Currie was alone at the time, and when the engineer who was at the throttle that morning saw him he was sitting on the end of the crossties appar ently asleep. The engineer blew his whistle and put on the air brakes, but as he was iust rounding a curve he did not have time to stop the train after catching sight of the unfortunate man. Currie was struck by the steps of the baggage car a id knocked some distance. Several of his ribs was broken and the jagged end of two of them were driven through his lungs. He lived only abDUt 5 hours. Currie was a native of Lilesville town shm. this county, but had been living in Richmond county for some years. H'13 remains were brought to his old home and interred in the hurrying ground at Sa vanah church. Tli Appetite ofaUoat Is envied by all poor dyspeptics whose Stomaoh and Liver are out of order.

The ball struck Haire just under the shoulder! blade, inflicting a wouud that may prole serious, though, as yet, there have been no alarming symptoms.

He says it is too big to kill, so he ha3 decided to keep it 'and ex hibit it as an American elephant. Mrs. J. A. Crump and children will move to Anson ville soon for the conve nience of school. A -suspicious looking character, sup posed to be an escaped convict, has been seen loafing around in the woods and out houses lately begging bread .and fright ening women and children. He refuses to give his name or where he came from. 1 ' n " air. oieve orump, a popular young an, who went from here to Texas about two years ago, was married in that State a few days ago to a young widow worth half a million dollars. Some scoundrel, who has no regard for himself or any one else, cut our telephone wire in four different places and pulled up the polls, and did other devilment be tween here acui Norwood on last Satur day night.

A sensation as created here this morniDg by the an nouncement that J. M. Mewborne, the fusion superintendent of the penitentiary, had resigned and Capt. W. H. Day, a Democratic lawyer, had been namd by Governor Rnssell as his successor. Ir. Mewborne's resignation takes effect Jan uary 1. Not even the most intimate friends of the interested parties knew of the contemplated change in manage ment Captain Day has accepted the position and to-day annonnced that he would fill all the subordinate offices with Democrats. He has already appointed J. B..Tillery, of Halifax county, as man ager of the State farms, and F. B. Aren dell, of Raleigh, manager of the central prison. Governor Russell's political friends are severely criticising hire for appointing Democrats to " office!. Only two weeks ago he appointed a Democrat as Adju tant General of the State, and since then he has made tne board of Directors for several of the institutions Democratic. In talking of his appointment as su perintendent Capt. Day outlined his pol icy in the conduct of the State prison and farms as follows: "No incompetent men will, under my administration, be kept in office. There will be no easy jobs for anybodyy and any official found unfit for the place he holds will be promptly removed. "Of course whenever any of the present force is dropped Democrats will be ap pointed to succeed them. The Democrats are entitled to the offices, and I shall give them such as are in my power. "Some changes in officials are necessary and will be made at once. And the first vacancy that he will accept will be given to Mr. F. B. Arendell, of the News and Observer. "I recognize the fact that the only way to make the penitentiary pay is to run it on busiuess principles and on an economical basis. To beiin with, all employes must have something to do and do it.

The farm over seers must take the place of the present su pervisor to such extent as may be neces sary.

He has many friends here, and patients who have in recent years been successfully treated in the great Sanatorium, at Lebanon, Ohio, of which, until recently, our friend was Chief II uVTHysTei&n. ' Dr. J. i ephens. President of ffcr Ma- plewood Sanatorium, a man of Nationi? reputation and an ex-surgeon in the U.

Dr. Ashe has leen elected both President and Medical Superintendent, and his Richmond friends will rejoice to leam-of hi good for tune, inasmuch as his medical career was begun in this city. Walter Ruffin Ashe was born in Wades boro, N. C , May 30, 1363, and was gradu ated with honors by the Medical Depart ment of the University of the City of New York, in March, 1SS8. Shortly thereafter he located in Richmond, in copartnership with Dr. T.J. Taylor, one of the leading physicians of this city. Dr. Asbe.soon ex hibited such learning and adaptability for his profession and was so ambitious to quire the finest possible education therefor, that he went to New .York City and there successfully passed a competitive examina tion for a hospital appointment. For three years he was on the Medical Staff of sever al metropolitan hospitals, which of itself, is testimony sufficient to his extraordinary abilities. In 1S92 he was appointed Medi cal Director of the famous Maplewood San atorium at Lebanon, ()., near Cincinnati, which position be filled with distinguished success. u NCLE EZEKIEL OBEAK, assessor and tax collector, Beverly, Mass.. who has passed the 60th life mile stcne, says: "Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine has done a great deal of good.
