KLIZAHKTII CITY, March 19, 1S97.
It is estimated that there are
23 acres of land to every inhab
itant of the globe.
Thousands of cattle are dying
in the deep snow which has
fallen in South Dakotr.
For the first time in tvventy
eight years Ohio has two Re
publican representatives ;n the
United Stater. Senate.
There are scid to be already
enough applicants from North
Carolina and Virginia to take
e very office within the gift of
t!ie new administration.
The most remarkable perform
ance of the late legislature of
Orcjron was its omission to vote
money to pay its own members.
Its different down this way.
Governor Russell has accepted
an invitation to press the button
and start the machinery at the
Tennessee Centennial Exposit
ion , which opens at Nashville,
Mav 1st.
The State Treasurer finds
that the Legislature's appropris
ations aggregate 950,000, which
far exceeds any previous appros
priations. It is said that the
special appropriations amounted
to $ 1 30,000.
Governor Russell is manifest
ing much interest in having
North Carolina make a highly
creditable display at the Ten
nessee Centennial Exposition,
opening in April.
Canton, Ohio, is now trying
to secure a boiler factory, says
the Cincinnati Tribune. The
town has become so accustomed
to noise that it feels the need of
something to supply the present
deficiency in that product
The Alexandria Gazette rises
to remark that the Yale students,
who insulted Mr. Bryan list
year aud prevented him from
speaking at New Haven, recent
ly sent the flag of that college
aud their best wishes to Corbett,
the prize fighter. Comment is un
necessary. The fact that the new admin
istration being in no great hurrj
in making appointments is caus
ing a decided feeling of unrest

When President McKinley
kissed the Bible when inaugurat
eel, his lips touchea these ap
propriate words : "Give me
now wisdom and knowledge that
I mav go out and come in before
tills people, for who can judge
this thy people that is so great."
The Bible was opened as is aK
wavs the custom at random.
General YYeylcr may
eive
his whole attention to the inter
ests of Spain in Cuba but he ha
nevertheless failed to capture
that plucky little island. May
Cuba fight as she never did be
fore, with the battle cry, "Cuba
Libre," ringing throughout the
island and at last be awarded
her freedom for her gallantry
in defending her rights.
The Fifty-fifth Congress con
vened in extra session on Mon
day last. President McKinley 's
message emphasized the neces
sity of an increased revenue to
meet the expenditures of the
government. His remedy is a
tariff law, and he expresses the
hope that one will be promptly
enacted which will provide suf
ficient revenue for all public x-
penditures.

We have often wondered why
the newspapers so seldom print
anv sermons except those of Tal
mage, while our home talent
receives very little commenda
tion from the press. The Fish
erman & Farmer has set a
good example by printing Jthe
sermon of the eloquent, talented
and gifted Rev. Dr. C. S. Black
well. We enjoyed the sermon
very much.
Monday evening at half past
5 o'clock Mrs. Maggie G. San

illness of but a few days. Aged
30 years. She was a woman of
true christian character, a devot
ed wife, a fond aud loving
mother, aud a faithful friend.
Those who knew her best loved
her most. She was a graduate
from Williamsburg College. A
constant and active member of
Moyoek M. E. Church, aud will
be sadly missed. Her place
will be hard to fill. She leaves
a husband and four small child
ren to mourn their loss. She
was buried Tuesday evening.
Rev. J. H. Hall, of Elizabeth
City conducted the funeral ser
vices and was , followed to the

mourn as those who have no
hope, lor we shall meet again
some sweet day bye aud bye.

Truly Astonishing. Miss Annette

parts un-
Mills Felton shot aud instant
ly killed Bcstcn Turner last
Saturday evening, about half
past 5 o'clock in Messrs. C. R.
Van de Carr & Co.'s store The
ball entered just below the
heart. The cause of the trouble
was Turner's ill treatment to
his wife, who was Felton's siss
ter. Both were peaceable, 'quiet,
colored men. The murder
seems to have been premeditated
as they had but few words be
fore the deed was done. Felton
escaped. Turner was buried
Monday at the Christian Home
Colored Baptist church here.

The sooner you begin to fight the
fire, the more easily it may be extiug

fatal. Be sure vou get Avqr'sand no

A Cure For Love,
Take twelve ounces of dis
like, one pound of resolution,
two grains of common sense,
two ounces of experience, a
large spring time aud three
quarts of the cooling water of
consideration set them over the
gentle lire oi love, sweeten it
with the sugar ot forgetfulness,
skim with the spoon of melan
choly, put. it in the bottom of
your heart, cork it with cork of
clear conscience, let it remain,
and you will quickly find ease
and be restored to your senses.
Again, these things can be had
of the apothecary, at the House
of Understanding, next door to
Reason, on Prudence street, in
the village of Contentment.
Love has no middle term; it will
either save or destroy. This
prescription can be easily filled
by any one whose love is great.

entirely from the pain and the
second afforded complete relief.
