Hie Greatest Discovery Yet.
M Repine, editor Tibkilwajll.,
"Chief," says : "We won't keep
house without Dr. King's New Dis
covery .for Consumption, . Coughs
and Colds. Experimented with
many others, but never got the. true
remedy until wo used Dr. King's
New Discovery. No other remedy
can take itsplace in our home, as
in it we have a certain and sure
cure for Coughs- Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc." Jt is idle to experi
ment with other remedies, even if
they are urged on you as just as
good as Dr. King's New Discovery.
They are not as good, because thi
remedy has a record of : cures and
besides is guaranteed. It neyer fails
to satisfy. Trial bottles free at P B

Tbe Last Male Trade on Record.
7. We have heard of moles selling
for fifty cents on time to persors
whose credit was worthless, bit the
last trade comes to us now, where a
poor mule's ears would not s'and up
but would lie down nil the time. In
order that the owner might trade the
mule to soma one, he put rubber
bands on the ears, but so placed
ihtm that they could not be detected.
His purpoae was carried pot, and m
the trade he got a splendid looking
beast But alas ! for the other man,
for the poor mule's ears are now al
most cut oft by the rubber band?,
and to take them off makes the n at
ter still worse. This is an actual
happening in our county and more
will result from it later, we hope.
brnnk and Disorderly.

A negro Lamed Pink Makeupson
was arraigoed before Mayor Crowell
this (Tuesday) morning for being
drunk and difiorderly Monday even
ing around the depot. When Po
liceman Boat was bringing him up
town that evening, he took a notion
that he would free himself, and
took a little chase up Spring street.
He was caught again, however, and
lodged in jail until this morning
He was fined $3.85, which he suc
ceeded in paying and was released.
If that disappointed young man in
Atlanta who deserted his wife be
cause their first child happened to
be a girl were to read up on the new
theory of controlling the sex of
children, he might return home and
hope for better luck next time.

it contains a nice business office,

can be converted into two fine bertns,
while there is also a regular Pull,

heating furnace, and also has a

This car was built in Wilmin
10D, Delaware, and all of the adveK
tieeinenta panted on it before it was
rent to this State. The painting

under a guarantee of fire years. As
quite a number remember, some
mischievous boy scratched one side
of the car considerably, at Marion,
when the car was there.' The boy
as caught and released with onjy
slight punishment, hut Cup t. Moore
informj us that they will very prob
ably enter suit again r his father for
damages, as they claim it will cost
every! bit of $500 to replace lie
painting, as the painter says he can
fix it only by scraping off the entire
painting.
Afcer the car was brought to Ral
eigh it took them jast six weeks to
arrange the displays in the car.
The car is now wending its way
towards Newberu, where it will oe

Fair on the first of March. From
this State they go on North and ex

the first of June. j
The whole cost of this car, in

The
Concert and (he Ice cream too.
The Concert at .Oaton'd iiull Mon
daylnight was very muchiuterfditd
with by the unavoidable absence of
some important aotors. S)we per
formances' at least should be no ed.
Mrs. Sohaaf fully sustained the re
putation that preceeded her. Thp
tones, that . she brought out in her
solo; were f xquisite and rare, indi
eating enviable natural gifts with
skillful training. Ic was a treat.
Tbej recitation, loo, was very pleas
ing; The sweetniny way in whi )h
little Miss Zjla Patterson sang
Icta Back Baby," afforded much
pleasure, though her vo:ce was too
week for every word to be heard.
Miss Ciavan was strongly cheered.
Sae bore her part well. The double
qaarteite was very satisfactory, hav
ing several voices conspicuously
good. Mr. Yorke's gramophone ad
ded verv much to the nroeram.

The concert was something of a
disappointment to its getters up, of
CJurse.
The first nieht it was rained out.
then it suffered an unavoidable
break for waa t of the hall, and fin
ally! it might be said to have been
blizzarded out, but anvhow we ens
jyed it and the ica cream too.
