Grip sufferers should note the advertisement of the North Side Drug Store and call for their grip capsules, the finest and best remedy for the prevailing malady. Their "compound syrup of tarand cherry' is also very fine. We saw today a beautiful speci mene of pen copying, executed by Miss Lucy West, the accomplished daughter of our townsman Mr. N. W. West. It is a copy of a picture of two newsboys which appeared in the New York Journal and is very true to life and a fine piece of work. It shows Miss West to be an artist of true gift and genius. A. L. Swinson, the populist en rolling clerk, who refused to allow two colored men nominated by the republican caucus to serve on his force voted a ticket in the last elec tion, which probably was the only one of its kind in the country.

Mr. Wiggs pulled his.' reins tightly and tried to break - away. As be aid, tbe highwayman . et go his hold on the horse and struck Mr Wiggs in the face with some obstacle. Mr Wiggs drove rapidly on to Mr Goodwin's store. . He thought he was badly hurt but he was not. The object struck h!a eye and pained him very much. . . Mr. Wiggs remained in the store possibly thirty minutes and resumed his journey to Raleigh. As he reach ed Rocky branch bridge, two men stood on either side of the road. Tha rider bad a half suspicion that the men intended to attack bim, but thought that being so near tbe City they would hardly attempt it. Mr. Wiggs surmised wrongly. As be started to pass between the men t'jey made a leap for the horses' bridle. Mr. Wiggs was surely in a dilem ma. 1 wo able bodied men, ootn white, held his horse by the bridle. He urged his horse ' fop- ward and attempted to break away. The effort was vain. The man on the right pulled a pistol from his overcoat and pushed it uncomforta bly close to Mr. Wiggs' face.
