Jouunal: I notice in this week's Journal, someone front Jasper, signed Voice of the People, is giving ns down ' the road some Tory . timeljr advice, ac cording to hia war' of thinking. He has leen informed that a counter petition has been circulated opposing free de livery, and of course puts the blame upon the postmaster at Bellalr. I hereby state that I have not signed pot circulated a petition against free delivery, though 1 was asked t do so. I. hare, opposed free delivery on our route and am ' now opposed to It as it has been presented to me, and this is my reason: As proposed, it puts our mall one day later getting oil 'hence all of our track mall will have, to be sent to Clark, as we can send none of It off by the free delivery plan, in time to get to the markets before our track gets , there. To the truckers or buslnes men .on the route there will be constant dis appointment. ' This Is the way I look at it, and I am looking through Impartial glasses at the whole matter. , If I even thought the majority of the poople' on (he route would be - benefitted I would not raise one-word of opposition . No mai) can serve this route a well coming from New Dern In the morning as it can going to Now Bern in time for the northern and western mail, any one who tea at all can see this. : .'

M don't And the trough so well filled as to Induce me to get np a petition against my neighbors interests. Undo Sam has not enough to induce me to do that. When I oppose anything it Is because I think it wrong or not-best, . A 4th class post office pay ing 4 or 5 dollars a month, Is, to say the most for it, rather a shallow trough to be fed at. :i yi -v ; Your Indignant scribe testifies that the P.

Let me ven ture a little suggestion to "Voice of the People.", If he will sound a clarion nolo and call the attention at onr people to the; immediate need of better roads he will pave the way, (If he succeeds In get ting good roads) for a rural free deliv ery that would bo a great blessing to,the traveling public.

Nervous Derangement the Result of Eye Strain. The strain imposed upon tbe eyes, by various optical defects has a decided effect upon the nervous system, and by the leakage of nerve force often leads to a train of evils far more extended than we are accustomed to suppose. The strain calls for an excessive sup ply of nervous energy, acting as an ir ritant to the central nervous system, anally ending In a breaking down of tho system, which, not only caused misery and suffering, but statistics are n I wanting to prove that tbe duration of life Is materially shortened thereby. Epilepsy (or fits) Is one of the most terrible diseases that con befall any hu man being, and Its treatment by drugs alone (by Dr. C. H. Brown, Phlla.) is very unsatisfactory.
