Fatal Disease.
We be. r that a fatal disease of a
very peculiar nature is raging among
the horses in Warren county and
some pisrts of Vance. Peveral gentle
men have lost valuable animals. The
disease resembles epizootic somewhat,
the animals refusing to eat, become
weak, and die apparently without
pain.
A Nice Time Ahead.

a grand time at the Exposition
proundr Extra cars will be run over
the eleeric road. The switchback

are on foot for bicycle end-foot races;

will he a day of genuine fun.
A Noble Proposition.
It is well known among our people
that St. John's Hospital is sadly In
need of all the help that our citizens
can reasonably spare, and any aid is
always most acceptable. With the
view of doing what he can to aid so
worthy an ohjy;5t. Mr. A. Dughi makes
a proposition which we must think
should be cheerfully accepted. He
has fixe'1 up an ice cream saloon at
his plarje of business, adjoining Bab
bitt's drug store, on Fayetteville
street, and next Monday, being Eas
ter holiday, he will formally open tb
establishment. In doing this, Mr
Dught proposes to give the profit on
the receipts for Ice cream at his sa
loon to St John's Hospital, and in
this connection he requests the ladies
to call and donate cakes, which, of
ourse, will he turna 1 to the same
amount. Mr Dughi has on other
occasions proven himself a frind of
this noble iustitution. and the offer
he now makes is much to his.credit
Important Case
The validity of the fertilizer tax
law is again under consideration, the
question having been raised by the
Patapsco Guano Company. The law
passed two years ago, requiring a tax
of $500 ecch, was declared by th
Supremo Court unconstitutional, and
be last, legislature levied a direct
ha a of 20 cents on each ton of guano
sold or offered for sale in the State
The company claims that this tax is
as unconstitutional as the old law.
The case will be argued before
Judge Boud, at Greensboro, on May
7th. Messrs. T. N. Hill, of Halifax,
and J. W. Hinsdale, of this city, are
attorneys for the company. Steps
will be taken by the Board of AgrL
culture to protect the State's interest.
Good Arrangements.
Manager Huff, of the Electric Street
Railway, is mjst energetic in the
matter ot catering to the interests of
our citizens. He has arranged so that
parties wishing cars to carry them to
and from pic nic grounds can secur
them by applying at the office of the
Street Railway Company a day or
two before the time of pic nic
' Brookside Park has been very great
ly improved and made a most delight
ful resort. It wi'l be ready for pic
nic parties by Easter and will be open
to those coming in the cars of the
company.
The Street Car Company has set
apart a car to be kuown as t he "depot
car,'" which will meet all trains be
tween 7 a. m. and 11. p. m., and pass
down Fayetteville street on the way
to the depot in time for all trains
This car will a ake as many tripe be
tween train times as possible.

Well, Well, This Beats the Yan
kies. The above exclamation was in
dulged in yesterCay by a good na
tured fat lady who walked into Swin
dell's store and saw the entire store
crowded with customers, all anxious
to be waited on Said she: ' This
don't look like dull times; this beats
the Yankies. I have been all over
town and nobody doing any business
but SwiuDell." Said she: "This looks
like Baltimore, if you didn't move
there." Said she "I have heard
Swindell is selling goods of all kinds
for less money than t e goods should
cost at wholesale, and I suppose this
accounts for; this crowd, because I
see people in here now who said they
would not trade at Swindell's any
more 'cause he did not move to Bal
timore. See here, Mr. Underwood,
(Underwood was the clerk waiting on
her), what does Swindell mean by
selling these goods so much cheaper
than anybody else? Tell me, ain't he
fixing to break or something like
that? I teM you I would not be sur
prised at anything Swindell should
do. He is the only man I ever saw
that would not cut samples and would
not credit people, and still do all the
business ot the town. I don't like
Swindell, and I left hom- this morn
ing swearing to myself that I should
not go to Swindell's store, but here I
am, and I guess I had better buy
what I want." This same lady now
feels better. She said what she want'
ed to say, and she is now comfortable
The same privilege is granted to any
one who wants to abuse Swindell.
Come right into the store and abuse
him till yon feel better. He won't
notice you
Yours humbly,
Betsy B. R. Brown
