pears the name of Thomas M. Holt,

Governor is just the iivest man in the

quel to Monte Cristo, named "The
Son of Monte Cristo." a Melo Drama,
said to be the equal of Monte Cristo.
Mr. Baldwin played one of his com-
panies here last season and left a
splendid reputation behind them,
and no doubt this company will do
an excellent business as it is said to
be a much stronger one than appeared
here last season.
Hail road Tax.
The matter of taxes claimed by
Wake county against the B. & G.
Railroad, was op again for argument
during yesterday, before E. W. Poa,
Esq., the referee. The main question
at issue was whether the road was
liable for tax on $140,000 in cash,
which it had deposited in a Balti
more bank subject to five day's draft
at 2 per cent a year interest. The
county claims to tax the cotton plat
form, because cotton is allowed to
remain there some time before ship
ment, etc. The county also claims
that one third of the machine shaps
must be taxed for certain reasons.
The county also claims to tax $40,
000 of rolling stock which te com
pany had leased to the R. & A. Rail
road. The referee will make his re
port to the next term of the court,
and an appeal will then be taken.

PLEASURES OF MEMORY.
What a blessed thing is memory 1
How it brings up the pleasures of the
past, and bides its unpleasantnesses !
You recall your childhood dajs, do
you not, and wish they would return?
You remember the pleasant associa
tions, while the unpleasant ones are
forgotten. Perhaps to your minu
comes the face of some friend. It was
once a pale, sad face. It showed
marks of pain, lines of care. It seem
ed to be looking into the hereafter,
the unknown future. And then voa
recalled how It brightened how it re
covered its rosy hue, how it bocarae
a picture of happiness aud j-y. Do
you remember these things ? Many
people do, and gladly tell how tbj
health returned, how happiness cam
back, how the world seemed bright.
They tell how they were once weak,
nevertheless, perhaps in pa'n, cer
t ..inly unhappy. They tell of sleep
less nights, restless days, untouched
food, unstrung nerves. And then
they tell how they became happy,
healthy acd strong once more. You
have heard it often in the past, liav
you not ? You have heard peoplo
describe how they were cured and
kept in health V You certainly car
remember what it is that has so help
ed people in America. If not, listea
to what Mrs. Annie Jennesc Miller,
who is known universally as the
great dress reformer, says : " Six years
ago, when suffering from mental care
and overwork, I received the most
pronounced benefit from the use of
that great medicine, Warner's Safe
Cure." Ah, now you remember. Now
you recall how many people you have
heard say this same thing. Now you
recoil ct how much you have heard
of this great cure. Now you are
ready to admit that memory is usu
ally pleasing, that the highest pleas
ure comes from perfect health, and
that this great remedy has done more
to produce and prolong health than
any other discovery ever known in
the entire history of the whole world.
