To Observe the Eclipse.
The government will locate an ob
servatory at a point between Pinehurst
and Southern Pines for the observa
tion of the total eclipse of the sun
May 28 next.
It had been hoped that Raleigh
would be selected as the point for the
government observation of the great
solar affair, but it is announced that
the Southern Pines region has been
chosen. The reason given is that
Southern Pines is exactly in the path
of total it
Star-gazers from all parts of the
world are coming to North Carolina
to watch the eclipse. Wadesboro has
been selected as the point of vantage
by Princeton University for the obser
vation of the eclipse of the sun.
Years and years ago astronomers I
with their charts, telescopes and in
tricate system of calculations figured
out the solar eclipse of May 28, 1900.
They knew before the present genera
tion of Georgians were born that ab
solute darkness in the middle of the
day would reign throughout the State,
and they' marked down on their charts
the points where the solar phenomena
might be studied to the best interests
of science.
While the eclipse can be seen over
the whole country, it is only within
the path of about fifty-five miles
width that it appears as a total eclipse;
outside of this path the sun is only
partially obscured. The eclipse will
begin earl- in the morning and con
sume approximately two hours and
twenty-five minutes; duration of to
totality, ninety seconds; in the midst
of which stars will glow, planets
emerge from obscurity, a chill strike
through the atmosphere, dew fall and
animals prepare to resume their
night's repose. Raleigh Post.

the courting. "Madam," he contin

Your doctor says take care of
yourself and take plain cod -liver
oil, but you can't take it. Only
the strong, healthy person can
take it, and they can't take it
long. It is so rich it upsets the

To the Memory of Mrs. A. A. Wilson.
Died, at her home in Southern Pines
Mrs. Abba Ann Wilson, in the fift--niuth
year of her age. The subject
of this notice was born in the town of
Corinth, state of Vermont, and was
one of the first settlers of Southern
Pines; .she, with her husband and sis
ter, came to the Pines in the spring
of 1 886 when there were but few peo
ple here; they owned the first store
and by fair dealing made many
friends. Mrs. Wilson was a woman
of very amiable disposition; every one
who knew her, loved her. Her life
was one of sunshine, always cheerful
and happy. Within the past two
years she has had great affliction and
sorrow in the deaths of her husband,
two sisters and a brother, which is all
of her famity. In her sorrow and
distress she never murmured or com
plained and bore her own sad sickness
with Christian resignation. On the
12th day of April, 1900, she fell asleep
in Jesus:
"Asleep in' Jesus; far from thee
Th3r kindred and their graves may be;
Put there is still a blessed sleep
From which none ever wake to weep. '

MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lic to know of one concsrn which is
not afraid to be generous. The pro
prietors of Dr. Kings New Discovery
for consumption, coughs and colds
have giyen away over ten million trial
bottles and have the satisfaction of
knowing it has cured thousands of
hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis,
LaGrippe and all Throat, Chest and
Lung diseases are surely cured by it.

The
Imperial Gas Lamp
Covered by U. S. Patents.
Admittedly the BE5T light on the market and
the most economical.
The Imnerill burns common stove gasoline and gives a
1US ""F 100 candle power light at a cost of one
cent per day.
One Gallon will burn 60 hours.
The needle keeps the burner clean, so it will not clog, and
the generating tube being in center of flame, insures a light
that will not go out. There is no odor, no smoke and no
flicker. The light can be raised or turned down just as with
a gas jet or lamp. The Imperial is the most perfect light
on the market and everything pertaining to it is the best to
be had. IT WILL PAY TO INVESTIGATE.
If not sold in your town write us for catalogue.
