WILL wuferi It is the strangest thing- we ever saw that some people will come to town, do their trading, home and never see our goods, or get our prices. Brother, you arc like the man who found a pocket book with 810,000 in it on the first day of April and wouldn't pick it up but waited to sec his neighbor find it. You are out of it unless you see us before you buy. Let us give a few reasons why you should trade with us. w M in CasI Tra p j ess 1st We sell cheaper than anybody else. COME AND LET US PROVE IT.

Yours for business, I Dixtm, Dry Two BiQ Cease? SOEVER j. 6 JN". C. Stores ''Prove all Tie Mortgage,- and What it Is. The Mortgage is a self-sup porting institution. It always holds its own. It calis for just as many dol lars when things are dear as when they are cheap. It is not affected by the drought or by hard times. It is not drowned out by heavy rams. Late spring and early frosts never trouble it. Potato bugs do not disturb it. Moth and rust do not destroy it. It grows nights, Sundays, rainy days and holidays. It brings a sure crop every year, and sometimes twice a year. It produces cish every time. It does not have to wait for the market to advance. It is not subject to specula tions of the bulls and the bears on the board of trade. Strikes ddn't bother it. It is a load that galls and frets and chafes. It is a burden that few can shake off. It is 'with him morning, noon and night. It gets under his pillow when he sleeps. It rides upon his shoulder during the day. It consumes his product. It selects the finest horses and the fattest steers of the far mers. It lives upon the finest fruit of the season. It stalks into the dairy and takes the nicest cheese and choicest butter. It shares the children's' bread and-Tobs them of their clothes. It stoops the toiler's back with its remorseless burden of care. It hardens the hands, be numbs his intellect, premature ly wliitens his locks and often times sends him and his aged wife over the hill to the poor house or to an early grave. It is the inexorable and ex acting task master. Its whip is as merciless and cruel as the lash of ,a slave dri ver. It is a menace to liberty, ' a hindrance to progress, and a curse to the world. It never dies of its own accord It lives even after you are dead. A mortgage is the deathgnp on man's throat, and will in time choke its slave to death, or at all events shorten his life by care. me eastern ixenector. i Strange Things Happen. During the Confederate reun ion at Charleston Miss Jane Meares, daughter of Captain Thomas D. Meares, of our city visited the South Carolhrarcity, and there lost a handsome and valuable pearl brooch, with a diamond setting. There were from 30,000 to 40,000 visitors in Charleston at that time, and as a matter of course Miss Meares never expected to hear of her brooch again. The old adage of "the unexpected "al ways happens," comes up here, however, for, strange to relate, the young lady yesterday re ceived her lost jewel. Its recovery was brought about in a most singular man lier. A young lady of Charles ton is now visiting Wilmington and Miss Meares mentioned to her that she had lost her brooch when she visited. Charleston. The Charleston young lady said that a friend of hers picked up a iewel of the description, aud it turned out that it as the one lost by Miss Meares. The jewel was returned to her, and she is happy over its recovery. It was picked up on the streets, and was lost while Miss Meares was getting on or off a street car. Wilmington Messenger.

A Goat Ate The License And Postponed The Ceremony. The fondness of a billy-goat for paper caused the postpone ment of the wedding of T. H Bryson formerly a merchant of this city, but now a resident of Mississippi. Mr. Bryson was engaged to be married to a wid ow residing at Olive Branch, Miss., and was visiting a mar ried daughter near there at the time the accident happened. A few days before the date of the wedding Mr. Bryson procured a license at Hernando and placed it in his inside pocket. The morning before the wed ding day he saw that a board was loose on the hencoop, and taking off his coat, proceeded to nail it. When he finished this he saw a pet goat munching at something containing a real seal Bryson realized that it was his marriage license and tried to rescue the paper, but the goat was to quick for him and swal lowed it. As the document was indispensable, a long drive to Hernando was made to pro cure a duplicate, and this caused a postponement of the.marriage for twenty-four hours. St. Louis Dispatch.

A prominent western railroad official says that it costs less to day to send a bushel of grain from the Mississippi River to Liverpool than it does to ship it across the State of Minnesota. These low rates are because of the recent reductions made by rail-ways running from the West to the seaboard. These low rates rival the rates by the way of the Great Lakes, but it is significant that these reduc tions were not made until the Spring opening of the water route. It is stated that, in the past few weeks, a great volume of grain has been taken for over sea delivery at one-cent ocean freight. . This added to the rate to the seaboard, makes a cost of about 10 cents to get a bushel of wheat from Duluth to Liver pool, while it costs about nine cents to get it across the State to the former city. It is said that these great reductions have come to stay, and if so, they should be a great help to the western farmer. " But if these low rates are possible over the eastern railroads, it would seem that there is a chance for great reductions on the western roads and thus benefit the western farmer still further. Rural New Yorker. Spain's Greatest Need. Mr. R. P. Olivia, of Barcelo na, Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, SV C. Weak nerves had caused severe pains in the back of his head.

The Kind You Hare Always Bought Bears the Signature of A Millionaire After Whales. English Yachtsman Discovers a New Amusement for . Summer. At first blush one would not think of whale fishing as a sum- mer amusement, yet Barclay Walker, the English yatchman seems to regard it is such, for he has turned the steam whaler Esquimaux into a pleasure craft, in which he is cruising Davis' Strait in search of whales. Whale hunting is not a cheap sport, but Mr. Walker being the heir of a great Liver pool brewer, is possessed o f a big income. He bought the steamship Esquimaux, which had been in the whaling busi ness for some time, and had her thoroughly overhauled and cleaned. When the job was en ded the old craft was transfig ured. Some of her ancient charac teristics have been preserved, and she will still be recogniza ble by those who last saw her in the waste of the Northern seas, but if auy of her old crew got aboard they would assured ly lose themselves. Where the "trying-out" kettles used to hang there is now a big deck house worthy of any one's yacht. There is a big billiard room with two tables, a library full of books, and an armory that looks like a translated gun store. There are pictures on the walls and soft rugs on the floor. Also there is an electric light plant. Captain McKoy, the most ex perienced whaler that Mr. Walker could find in Dundee. is in command of the Esqui maux, and he picked his own crew. There is a scarcity of whaling ships, but a plethora of whaling men, so that Cap tain McKay has been able to se cure the very pick of all the crews that ever sailed out of Dundee for the Northern4seas. The programme of the trip is to cruise along 'the Labrador coast, shooting some of the seal? that are plentiful in that part of the world at this time of the year, and so to work up toward Davis' Strait, where the big whales are to be found. The particular . fishes Mr. Walker wants to have a try for or what are known as the "sulpher bot tom" whales great big fellow's 90 feet long and as dangerous as a torpedo boat. Philadel phia Record. Politeness. Potiteness is in business what strategem is in war. It gives power to weakness;, it supplies great deficiencies and overcomes the enemy with very little loss of time and blood. It is invin cible either in the attack or de fense. There is no investment so remunerative. It is simply put ting out kind words and courte ous manners to compound inter est. There is no commodity costs so little, and yet is so rarely possessed. With some persons this qual ity is really innate, and with others it i3 developed by proper home training and refined asso ciations. True politeness springs from goodness of heart. A truly sympathetic nature is ever generous. It views its fel low from a personal standpoint and cannot, therefore, fail to be polite. A polite person often succeeds in life when those of ability fail. Conciliatory man ners have made the fortunes of physicians, lawyers? divines, politicans and merejiants, for affability creates instantaneous ly a preposessson in favor of the person who exhibits it. Of two men equal in all other re spects the courteously polite one has the advantage of the other, who is deficient in this quality, and by far the better chance o making his way in the world. Great Thoughts. A Wondcrft&l DUeovery. The last quarter of a century record many wonderful discoveries in medicine, but none that have accomplished more for iumanity than that sterling old household remedy, Browns' Iron Bitter.

Items of news gathered from all parts of the state. It is stated that President McKinley has purchased a tract of land in'Transylvania county, near the Sapphire lakes. Two boys were drowned in Cumberland county last week. One was drowned at Hope Mills on Monday, the other on Wednesday in Carver's Creek. The town of Burlington wants a railroad from that place to Pittsboro. A committee of its business men are looking into the matter of cost of construc tion etc. The Benbow Hotel at Greens boro was destroyed by fire Sat urday: afternoon. The loss of the building and contents is es timated at $100,000. No insur ance. Westray McKnight, a farmer living near Winston, was bitten last week on the finger by a puppy. . He paid little atten tion to the wound until Wednes day he was taken with lockjaw and died Friday morning. Lewis Patrick, a negro, was taken from Carteret county jail by a mob of masked men on last Tuesday night and taken to the woods. He was found by the roadside, riddled with bullets Wednesday night. The negro was in jail for the mur der of a prominent farmer and merchant of that county named Weeks. A Yadkin County man tells a remarkable story of a hog", that lived 4 weeks without food or water, came out in good flesh, but had very little use of its limbs; thehoghad burrowed under a straw stack which caved in on it making it a prisoner for that length of time. Elkin Times. Giles Heilig, a colored man, who wras sitting on the railroad track, near the depot Saturday night, peaceably sleeping and dreaming " sweet dreams, was suddenly knocked off the track a distance of about thirty-eight feet by the north-bound vesti bule train which actually woke him up by cutting several gash es on his head and body.

Samuel Scull, the village lamp lighter and a hero of the Spanish-American war, has received word from Frank II. Moore, of St. Louis, Mo., that he has fallen heir to a half in terest with H. S. Smith, of Utah, to a hotel valued at $40, 000, located in St. Louis, by the death of Miss Annio E. Thompsou, a wealthy woman at Kansas Citj, Kansas. Re cently Scull and Smith wero members of the Twelfth Regi ment, U. S. Regular Infantry, and in that famous charge at El Caney Scull was wounded in the right leg,. but not serious ly. Later both ho and jSmith were seized with typhoid ma laria and conveyed to the hos pital at Fort McPherson, Geor gia. Here they wero tenderly nursed by Miss Thompson, a member of the Red Cross Soci ety. For nearly two months the young men were confined to their beds, and during all that time, Scull states, Miss Thomp son was always near and ready to supply their w;ants. When the young men wrere able to get around they assisted Miss Thompson in caring for tho others afflicted. In this tho trio became attached to each other and when the young men were well enough to leave tho hospital their parting was very pleasant and Miss Thompson asked the young men to writo to her. Both young men were honor ably discharged from the army and Scull had heard nothing from either Miss Thompson or his comrade until he received the letter stating that he had fallen heir to the half interest in the hotel. Scull is highly elated over his good fortune and will leave in a few days to look after his interest.
