ELIZABETH CITY, May 7, 1897. More than 25,000 armed in surgents are still fighting against Spanish misrule in the Phillip- pine Islands. The Roanoke Beacon, of Ply mouth, which suspended some months ago, has appeared again under new management, Messrs. Geo. W. and M. H. Jackson hav ing purchased same. We wish them success. Asked in Atlanta whether he thought the next President o would be a Democrat, ex Vice President Stevenson replied "The next President will be a KEAI, Democrat," which being interpreted means that there will be no Democratic shams like the last one. Don't let us sit down and cry "hard times." It won't mend matters. Let us all get up and pull together, and make at home what we have been buying from the North, and the problem will at once be solved. The South spending millions of dollars an nually for fertilizers, hay, corn and bacon is what all along has been the trouble.-Suffolk Herald. Home enterprises can only be sustained by home people, and when you fail to give your home enterprises your support, it is your own fault if they are not what they should be. When you give your home merchants your trade they will be strength ened and enabled to carry all lines that are required, but when you scud to Northern cit es for the goods that there is any profit in and give your home merch ants the cheap trade do not blame them if they fail to carry as full lines as Wanamaker or Macy. Winston Journal. The election of town officers will be held next Monday and it behooves our people, be they Democrats or Republicans, to do a little figuring as to who will best serve the interests of Eliza beth City during the ensuing year. Personal and political considerations should be set aside. Fitness should be made the sole test. We therefore urge our people to elect only those who pledge themselves to man age the town affairs in a broad progressive spirit. Let us there lore send our best, wisest aud safest men to the next City Council. No town in the State can show so many and so potent reasons for asking people to locate as Elizabeth City. The town is rapidly forging ahead aud its fu ture is exceedingly bright. New buildings are going up every where, many new enterprises are being organized, and the hum of machinery is constantly heard in the land. Come and see what is here; we have beauty, health, and as many natural advantages as any town in North Carolina. We have lands that are plentiful and cheap, saw mills, grist mills, turning mills, cotton mills and a net and twine factory, ship-yards and marine railways, machine shops, blacksmith shops, car riage factories, an ice plant, a shingle mill, candy factories, wholesale and retail merchants, churches and schools, and a large number of other things we could mention. We have bright sunshine, hot and mild weather nine months in the year, aud the winter is not severe as a rule. The best way to judge of what is here is to come and see it. When, you have seen the facts you can then decide as to whether or not to locate. Interesting Notes From Various Points Around and About us. Of a Personal and Newsy Character.

It is a great mistake to suppose that a simple tonic gives strength; it only stimulates the stomach to renewed action. To impart real strength, the blood must be purified and enriched, and this can only be done by such a standard alterative as Ayer'sSarsp3ar illa. Tetter, Salt-Rheum aud Eczema. The intense itching and smarting, inci dent to these diseases, is instantly allayed by applying Chamberlain's Eye and Skin Ointment. Many very bad cases have been permanently enred by it.

I took two bottles ol Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it entirely cured me, and I have not had any trouble with impure blood since that time. I beiieve Hood's Sarsaparilla to be the best blood purifier on earth. Joseph T. Jones. Hood's Pills are the best fam ily cathartic aud liver medicine. Gentle, reliable, sure. The State Treasurer has issued a circular stating that "as the section oi the revenue act tax ing drummers alike as intended by the Legislature, it applies to none aud is therefore inoper ative and void. A Man Who Is Tired. All the time, owing to impoverished blood, should take Hood's Sarsapar illa to purify and enrich his blood and give him vitality and vigor. This condition of weakness and lack of energy is a natural consequence of the coming of warmer weather, which finds the svstem debilitated and the blood impure. A good spring medicine 's a necessity with almost everyone. Hood's Sar saparillais what the millions J.ake in the spring. Its great Power to purify and enrich the blood and build up health is one ot the facts of common experience. XOKFOLK & SOUTHERN 11. R. CO. Notice to Passengers.
