Ministers Should Use
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. '
THERE IS NO PROFESSION, whose
labors so severely tax the nervous sys
tem, as that of the ministry. The de
rangement of the nerve centers of the brain
by over work, frequently brings on attacks
of heart trouble, and nervous prostration.
Rev. J. P. Kester, M. D., Pastor U. B.
church, London Mills, Ills., himself a physi
cian, writes Feb. 26, 1805: "Heart affection
and nervous prostration had become so
serious last fall that a little over work in
the pulpit would so completely prostrate me
Ty MilPQ that it seemed certain I
must relinquish the work
Heart CUre of the ministry entirely
, Heart palpitation became
KSl0rS so bad that my auditors
TTprtlf Vi would abk me if I did not
IlCdllll,,,,,, have heart disease. Last
November I commenced taking Dr. Miles'
"New Heart Cure alternately with Dr. Miles'
Nervine and derived the greatest possible
benefit. I have just closed revival work of
10 weeks, preaching nearly every night and
twice on the Sabbath. I can speak for hours
without suffering as I formerly ; did. Hard
working ministers should keep Dr. Miles'
grand remedies on hand."
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is sold on guarantee,
first bottle will benefit or money refunded.
Woman's Ways.
Smile a little, smile a little,
As you go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wroug,
Care delights to see you frowning,
Loves to hear you sign ;
Turn a smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly..
Smile a little, smile a little,
' All along the road ;
Every life must have its- burden,
Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and dark
ness, With your grief to sup?
"As you drink Fate's bitter tonic,
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims,
Whom you pass and meet :
Frowns are thorns, and smile3 are
blossoms
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
By a sullen face.
Smile a little, smile a little,
Brighten up the place.
Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
O'er his task waits wealth or glory,
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss aud
sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile a little, smile a little,
Even through your tears.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The Jailor Had Trouble with a
Nogro.
A riot was narrowly averted in
Wniston Saturday, NovemlxT 1 1.
A brother of Jailer Zigler, got into
trouble with a negro. The latter
drew a rock and was in the act of
throwing it at Zigler when Revenue
officer James Snvitb, who was prr?.
ent, threatened to shoot the dark
ey. This caused the negro to pitch
the rock at Smith. As he ran oil,
Smith or Zigler one tired at him
several times. At this time eome
two hundred negroes were on the
scene. They began making threats
against the jailer, who jumped on
his horse, went home aud returned
in a few minutes with his double
barrelled shot gun. His re-ap
pearance caused a general stam
pede among the negroes. When
they saw the gun they tied around
corners, and down alleys. There
were no more shots tired, notwith
standing excitement was at fever
heat. While enroute home after
his gun, Jailer Zigler unintention-
tioually ran over and knocked
down Mr. Edward Spach, an aged
and popular citizen. An ugly
bruise and gash was inflicted on
his nose and face. On account of
his age it is feared that his injuries
will prove serious. Everything is
quiet to-night. News fc Observer.

The Venezuelan Treaty.
Senator Andrade, Minister to the
United States from Venezuela, has
gone home. He has taken with
him a copy of the treaty between
Venezuela and Great Britain for
the arbitration of the boundary
dispute, together with a copy of
the agreement signed by Secretary
Qlney and Sir Julian Pauncefote,
which was preliminary to the trea
ty between the countries actually
in interest. Senator Aujicfe will
urge his government to carry a
letter rrom Secretary Olney which
will show the position of this coun-
ery.and will point out to the Vene
zuelan government the advantages
of accepting the treaty and adjust
ing the boundary lines secured
through the intervention of .the
United States. Senor Andrade
left Washington confident that
there would be no hesitancy on the
part of Venezuela of accepting the
j treaty, but he was anxious that the
matter should be speedily disposed
and Nation" is a beautitul aud
time-honored custom of a Chris
tian people and should be perpet
uated among us and observed in a
dignified and religious manner.
The pecple of North Carolina
have much for which to be thank
ful to the 'Giver of every good
aud perfect rift. Although the
past year has not brought o great
prosperity or tho land yielded so
abundantly, still our people have
enjoyed a proportionate measure of
these blessings and have escnped

Catarrh Means Danger,
Because if unchecked it may lead di

caused by impure biooa. l nis iaci is
fully established, Therefore, it is use
less to try to cure catarrh by outward
applications or inhalants. The true
way to cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great

power to drive out all impurities from
the blood. Thousands of people testi
