"It has made the ' most emphatic
hit of any song that I have sung
during my professional career."
Much of our space is devoted

examined it, and pronounce it a
strange freak of nature.
The list of new magistrates lias
been received at last, as wiil be
seen in another column. It will
be a relief to the people of North
Wilkesboro township to learn
that the I)ouglassite3 made no
provision for it at all, and it af
fords us a great deal of pleasure
to omit it in publishing the list.

An Old Lmidmnrk Gone.
Mr. A. L. Rousseau, an aged
citizen of "Wilkesboro, died at his
hom early Thursday morning.
He had been in feeble health for
some time and his death was not
unexpected. Had he lived until
August he would have been 83
years old. He was a consistent
member of the Methodist church
and had been for many years;
and was one of the oldest Masbijs
in this section. He leaves nine
children to mourn their loss, be
sides a host of relatives' and
friends. The funeral, services
were conducted from the.Pxesby-
erian church Sunday morning
at 11 o'clock by Presiding Elder
Barnctt and Rev. P. L. lerrell,
after which the Masons took
charge of the remains and they
were interred under the auspices
of their impressive ceremony.
Although a very inclement lay,
yet a large crowd 01 sorrowing
friends were out to pay the last
sad tribute of respect to one who
they held m the
highest esteem.

Fletcher, by that gentleman.' It
was a Gretna Green affair, and
Mr. Alexander succeeded iu steal
ing his blushing young bride "the

of the "old folks." To the hap
py couple The News extends its
heartiest congratulations, and
wishes them a long, happy and
prosperous life.

ston, overseer on the Mt. Zion
road from Atkins shop to Lewis
Fork creek, was received and the

Changed Ills Mind.
Frank Page, a white man who
works in McLean's harness 6hop,
made a mild attempt to commit
suicide Monday. He went to the
home of Mr. C. L. Upchurch and
said he wanted to lay down. He
claimed that he had taken four
bottles of laudanum, but later
said that Lc had not taken but
About 0 o'clock that night

the conclusion that he did not
want to "shutlle on this mortal
coil" iust yet, :'.ud called far
physician. Dr. Horton soon ar
rived on the scene and at once
discovered that it was not lauda-
nunPthat rjis making him sick,
but some 01 the "aforesaid regu-
ator" that was. getting in its
woik. He is about 35 years old
and is lrom Winston, at which
place he has a family.

Hood s Sarsaparilla, which gives

It will be an cgreable surprise
to persoirs subject to attacks of
bilious colic to le.irn lout prompt
relief may be had by taking
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera ar.d
Diarrhoea Remedy. Iu many in
stances the attack may be pre-
vented by taking this remedy as
soon as the first symptoms of the
disease appear. 25 and 50 cent

The fact that Hood's Sarsapa
rilla, once fairly tried, becomes
the favorite spring medicine,
speaks volumes for its excellence
and merit.
Compliments are healthful
when taken in moderation.
Those who never read tho ad
vertisements in' their newspapers
miss more than they presttmc.
Jonathan Kenison, of Bolan,
Worth county,; Iowa, yhb'; had
been troubled with rheumatism
in his back, arms, and shoulders,
read an item in .his paper About
how a prominent German citizen
of Ft. Madison had' been1 cured.
He procured the same medicine,
and to use his. own words: "It
cured me right up." He also
says: A neighbor.. and his wife
were both sick in bed with rheu
matism. Their boy was over to
my house and' said they were so
bad that he had to do the cook
ing. I told him -of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and how it had cured
me, he procured a bottle . of it
and it cured thepj up in a week.
