During the forest fires last week this hog saw the flames approaching her bed ot straw, in which was her young brood. She rooted out a hole near the bed, deposited her pigs in it, and then laid down over them. The fire passed over, sing ing the hair of the old porker, but the little squealers were safe. Ought not the people of North Carolina to see to it that the next Legislature grants pensions to all members of the State Guard who shall die in service, whether by disease or by accident or by sup pressing outrages and defiant mobs or otherwise? It would be a proper, a grateful thing to do to grant a pension to the ife and children of Lieut. Col- Bogart who died while in service of the State at New Bern. It looks to us that men who give voluntary service to the State should be res membered by the people if they perish while serving them. Wil mington Messenger, .Trice.

Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good effect upon their children." Dr. G. C. Oscood, Lowell, Mass. Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria in stead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves." Dr. J. F. Kincheloe, Conway, Ark. Castoria. Castoria Is so well adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to me." H. A. Archer, li. D., Ill So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y. " Our physicians in the children's depart ment have spoken highly of their experi ence in their outside practice with Castoria, and although we only have among our medical supplies what is known as regular products, yet we are free to confess that the merits of Castoria has won us to look with favor upon it.'
