of the people In Hood's Baraaparllla. If a

all question that medicine possesses merit.
That la Just the truth about Hood's Bar
aaparllla. Wo know It possesses merit
because it cures, not once or twice or a
hundred times, but 1n thousands and
thousands of cases. We know it euros,
absolutely, permanently, when all others
fail to do any good whatever. We repeat

MONTHLY
SUFFERING.
Thonaands of

tronbled at
monthly inter

in the head,

But they need
not suffer.
These pains are symptoms of

can be corrected. The men
strual function should operate
painlessly.
mates menstruation painless,
and regular. It puts the deli
cate menstrual organs in condi
tion to do their work properly.
And that stops all this pain.
Why will any woman suffer
month after month when Wine

As b. fo e no'.ed, tbe Presbyterian
Fair, he d by the Benevolent Society
of that church, opened Thursday
evening. The baby khow, under the
supervision cf Mrs. Geo. Lore, beinj
the Gist on the programme. It was
we'l that tbe mu-iaeers did no offer
some n ce prizi for the prettiest
baby, as they bad intended, fcr we
know if no one wbo would have
been able to hvo made a just de
cision aa to wticb tot was most,
beautiful. It was Indeed a lovely
sight.
At tbe hour of 5 o'e'.ook the doore
ti tbe fair were thrown op-n to all,
while tbe Keea'er orchej'.ra played a
few opening pieces, bcarcely had i'8
doors been thrown open until the
rooms were crowded so much that
one coul I haidly pass from room to
room. '
One could si e the lacards bang
ing prominently about, which said
tbtft there would be a concert that
night, which took place at 8 o'c'ojk,
tbe admi.sion being only 10 cents.
The concert w as well attsnded.as it
ahon'd have bien. It consisted of reci
ta ion?, solos and instrumental se'ec
tions and was concluded by a farce.
I'he excellent to os were rendered by
Mrs. N el, Mrs. Fannie Yorke and
Mj R L Keesler.
After tbe concert was concluded,
you were at liberty to roam about
over the fair and take in tbe sights
The first thing to attiact our atv
tenticn, b fore leaving the coacert
bail, was the tas'cfully decorated
and ananged fruit and flower boo h,
under tbe supervision of Miss Nannie

the nice fruits and flowera from

In this r um alto was the sweetest
part of the Fair, (except the ladies)
This wus tbe candy kitchen, where
Mrs'Jno Wadsworth had her wait-

Tbe next place we find ourselves
is in Mrs. Geo Browns oyster booth,
oar nppeiite being our enide, where
e lound oysters in abundance, and
,)re;urtd to suit the taste of any
epicurean from tbe eavaga to the
mist elite French.
''Pjss on" we must, and soon we
find ourselves listening to the voice
of some one who says tbat we will
miss "half our life" if we do not
lake in the museum, and so in wt
to, and we soon fud that the ladies
standing outsiJeare not fakirs by
any means. Here we stand and
wonder how Mrs. Eiatn Kitag, who
is supervisor of the museum, euo-
ceeded in - getting together to many
curosities for eyes - to gi zi up n.
Here we find the most singular
carios, old relics, and also something
to attract t be eye f the minerolof is'.
BuUtbid is not all you are permitted
to se while in this room, but turn

bids we will have to euy to all "go

Bidding adieu to this department
we once more get into the main cn

mustn't Kill AelKhbon' Cnlrken.
Chatham R' cord: Quite a peculiar
and amusing case is published in the
last volume of the North Carolina
Supreme Court R -ports. It is an
indie ment against a man for "cru
elty to animals" for killing hie
neighbors' chickens which were in
his garden scratching up his peae
Tbe defendant was convicted before
a justice of the peace, and on appeal
to tbe Superior Court was convicted
there, and on appeal to the Supreme
Ccort his conviction was affirmed.
It seems foolish for a man to in
cur so much cost in fighting so
frivolous a case, but we suppoee bis
"blood was up" and that he was
fighting mad. The opinion of the
Supreme Court,' delivered by Judge
Clsrk, is quite a long and able one,
as well as humorous. The court de
clarea tbat a man bas no more right'
to kill his neighbors' chickens,
which are scratching up his garden
than he has to kill bis cattle tbat
might be trespassing in his field.
His only remedy is "to impound"
them till damage is paid. Tbat is,
'arch them ( without hurting them)
and keep them until tbe oner pays
for whatever damage tbey may have
done.

"I'm very sorry," replied the

Rev. T W Babb, who was stripped
of h!a clerical robes by his churcb
was employed to preach to tbe con
victs on the Halifax and Nortbamp

for awhilti, but tfie bill of tGO hae
been paid bin for 10 weeks service.
It was attended, however with a re
quest to let up on preaching, ae
times are hard and the penitentiary
owes a big lot of monej. Tbe bill

Col Frederick Anderson O'ds, the
accomplished Rtl"igh correspon
dent, averting to the presence of the
Stateeville band at the fair, says il
is "a good one, but it does not play
loud enough." Our band, Col. Olds,
is composed of fine musicians and
therefore plays fine -music. It's no
steam calliope, and if it's simply
noise you want' you've got the
wrong crowd. But of fine music
they'll give you a pleo y. States'

Of course it was just the wrong

jetting into trouble at kissing the
ightgirl? The right act must be
applied to the right' subject.
Death Nirnek a Nblnlne; Mark.
Henry George died Friday morn
ing at 4:45 o'clock.
He was making a strong contest
for the mayoralty of Greater New
York, and doub less overdid hit
strength.
Ue lie.d made three speeches the
aight before he tf.d. srj(i cominp
home at 1 o'clook retired, "oc goon
became restless, then incoberept in
bis words, and next unconscious, and
paajed away calmly. The immedi
a e cause of death was apep'exy.
Ha was a man of great power in the
advocacy of his views, some of
which were considered peculiar and
objectionable. ne wrote several
books ou great economic questions,
one of which set forth bis novel
idep of common owaership of the
lands, or rather ownership by the
government and tbe land to be held
by a renter's title only, and from
the renta's all taxes should be de
rived. He did not admit that he
was a eooialist in any degree, bat his
views met with much disfavor. He
was not a victim of th'j charge of
anything dishonorable in bis con
spicuous career, and hii name ia a
shining star in the political sky that
bus set to leave its rays of purity
glimmering down the ages.
He was about 6S years of age.
His burial will be unos'eitatious,
according to his wishes.
I he "Squire" and the Judge.
That is a case altogether unique
in Asheville in which the Jndge of
the Superior Court ia arraigned be
fore the Jadrfe of a magistrate's
court.
It comes about this way : Esq.
Deaver bad Judge Ewart to appear
before the grand jury as witness
against the Southern railway on tbe
charge of issuing passes to the said
judge. Judge Ewart took occasion
to U8e some very uncomplimentary
terms for Esq. Denver's special
benefi', among which the following
ia probably the most offensive part :
' 'Perhaps I am traveling in the
interest of the orphan asylums of
the State and because I did not
solicit alma of those generous and
open-hearted philanthropists, Justice
(O JJeater and Fee Raiser Gold-
smitb, h's coadjutor in tbe suppres
sion or crime and crnelty to animals,
1 have earned their animosity but,
oontinue to ride on my pas in tbe

against the dignity of tbe magis
