He was appointed by Mr. Harrison. Let our town have a cotton fac tory and the completion of the Ox ford &- Coast Line Railroad and new life will be infused into our town. If nature never makes a mistake how in the world does it happen that it allows a fly to bother the bald- headed man who dislikes profanity ? Mrs. A. T.

The flwoa and estimates showing this are given in full and very clearly. N. 0., FRIDAY, JULY FASHIONABLE MARRIAGE. Mr. Dave Oestriecher, of Richmond, Weds Hiss Lonie Kronheimer.

Oxford Female Seminary. President Hobgood informs us that Mrs. S. D. Twitty, Principal of the Primary Department, is investigat- f j t ing in one or more or tne summer schools the method of teaching chil dren. Though she herself is author ity on subjects connected with teach ing children, she is finding out what is new. Miss Ida Poteat, who a year ago conducted the Art Department with marked success, is in New York City taking lessons under th besf mas ters. She will bring to her pupils of the Seminary in September the new est and best styles of art. She her self is doing a good deal of portrait painting. One new teacher Miss toharp has been added to the corps, who is to take charge of vocalization, elocu tion and physical culture. She is a graduate in both the Literary and Music Hepartmersts or one ot the best of the rTew Jersey colleges for wo men, and for three years has been in the New England Conservatory, of Boston, making a specialty of yocal music and elocution, taking the course at physical culture also. The faculty of the Conservatory repre sent her as a gifted and magnetic singer and elocutionist. The Seminary never had an abler faculty than the one engaged for next session. Last June Dick CrRwford brought his twelve-months-old child, sufferiug from infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been weaned at four months old and had al ways been sickly. 1 gave it the usual treatment In such cases but without bene fit. The child kept growing thinner un til it weighed but little more than when born, or perhaps ten pounds. I then started the father to giving Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Before one bottle of the 25 cent -size had been used a marked improvement was seen and its continued use cured the child. Its weakness and puny constitution dis appeared and its father and. myself be lieve the child's life was saved by this remedy. J.T. Marlow, M. D., Tamaroa, 111. For sale by J. G. Hall, drugeist.

We are pleased to learn that this lodge is in a flourishing condition, and is composed of as good material as any lodge in the State. An Unjust Tax. The News & Obseryer says, the druggists tee that they have been made special objects of persecution in the matter of taxation by the Fu- sionists and they don't hesitate to say so. They are holding meetings in all parts of the State and protest ing against the elause of the Reven ue Act in reference to them and are petitioning the commissioners in the various counties to relieve them from county taxes on the ground that the taxes imposed by the State alone are exorbitant and more their business will justify them in paying. While others talk strongly of testing its constitutionality. The matter will also come up for discussion at the State Pharmacists' convention at Morehead City. The Fusionists ex spected when they levied the tax to squeeze $50,000 out of them to help pay the increase office holders this noble reform body. Jedge Campbell's Court. Major W. A. Guthrie replies to State Treasurer Worth in regard to the legality of the continuance of the celebrated drunken Arrington committee appointed by the Dougs las Memorial Association, is pub lished in full in the noble order Pro gressive Farmer. He says that his interpretation of the affair is "that when the General Assembly adjourn ed this committee, like all other leg islative committees, where it is not otherwise especialty provided for, became functus officio, except as to making a formal report to the Su preme Court instead of the assembly." He further says if any expense has been incurred since the legislature adjourned that there is no authority for it; therefore the "council's ex pense" is unlawful as well as the per diem, etc., of the members of com mittee. Nevertheless the lawyer has his $40 and Jedge Campbell has his $99 40 and has staggard to the- west, wondering if the Africo-Republico- Pophco combine will not pull him out next year and nominate him for governor. W. H. Nelson, who is in the drug bus iness at Kingville, Mo., has so much con fidence in Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedv that he warrants every bottle and offers to refund the money to any customer who is not satis fled after using it Mr. Nelson takes no risk in doing this because tbe remedy is a certain cure for th- diseases for which it !s intended and he knows it.

C, I J une 25, 1895. f Many of us from Creedmoor had a delightful time last Tuesday and Wednesday seining Flat River, near Rock- Dam. We had been looking, forward to this pleasure for some time, working hard that we might be better able to spare the time- There was no lack of preparations for the trip old clothes, frying pans, dishes, tin cups, knives, forks, spoons, meat and bread, everything fishermen need. Those in the lead going, had a fine team and for a while they tried to leaye the crowd, but 'twas uo use as everybody kept up, even that mule, just as soon as he got behind, where he could have his way. We camped under some great trees near 1 he banks of the river and as possible went in after our supper and breakfast. We didn't have the luck we anticipated; some said the fish were on a pic nic trip in some deep hole, but we caught plenty to feed the' crowd bountifully. I believe too, there was one poor fellow that cleaned up all the scraps, while another one with a sympathetic heart grieved over him all night for fear he had seriously overcharged his stomach. I do believe preachers like fish about as well as fried chicken, and they can help to keep things lively for a long time if you won't let them sleep they took pot luck with the balance of us and didn't want any thing better. I have never been in a more jolly, kind and pleasant company of men. They ate together, frolicked togeth er and slept together, each taking his turn when the time came. It was a rare sight to see a large crowd around a big fire some talk- i - i n ing, some jumping or nopping, wnue others were trying their strength with one another in various ways. The question was raised whether a millionaire would enjoy such fun; after telling you that we caught more than a bushel of fish, all of which we ate rather than carry them home so far, I will leaye him to answer.
