Emm Mitchell, (20 Louisiana Street, Indianapolis, Ind., wrftei i " Ito the pa t five years I have rarely been without pain, but Peruna has Changed all this, and In a very short time. I think I had taken only two bot- Ues before I began to recuperate very Illicitly, and seven bottles made me well. I do not hare headache or backache any more, and hare some Interest in life." Emma Mitchell. The coming of what la known as the "new woman" In our country Is not greeted by everyone as If she were a great blessing. But there Is another new woman whom everybody Is glad to see. Every day some Invalid woman Is exclaiming, I have been made a new woman by Dr. Hartman's home treat ment." It Is only necessary to send name, address, symptoms, duration of sickness and treatment already received to Dr. Eartman, Columbus, Ohio, and directions for one month's treatment will be promptly forwarded. If yon do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. IXartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give yon his valuable ad vice gratis. ' O ' Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Eartman Sanitarium, Columbus, 0. J. A. Meadows for Commissioner. The Magistrates sro required on-ier the laws of 1899 to elect commissioner to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Capt. E R Jones late Chalrrran of the the Board.. " This Is a very Important poMllou and the best man ought to be chosen to fill it. The people are agitated now on the question of tsxatlon and It is of the ut most Importance that a good bunlneas man of good judgment and large exper ience In business matters should be chosen at this time as a County Commis sioner. The people of No. 1 Township suggest the name of Mr J A Meadows as a man thoroughly qualified in evory way to fill the vacancy. We are Informed Mr Meadows has been Commissioner before, acd the experience which he gained at that time would be of valuable aid to him In the discbarge of his duties. It Is understood that the Commission er chosen will come from New Bern, as has been the custom, and we know of no better man than Mr Meadows. Wm. Cleve, Chamn. Ex, Com , No 1 Township. -aaa .

Everybody had retired, but soon all war up and at work, ths fire wm found to be In tha bara and stablea of Mr J H Bell When discovered the fire had gained inch headway It was impossible to save the buildings and it took cool and hard work to aave the adjoining bouses. How ever there waa none lost, several caught, but were quickly put out by the bucket team: 1 fine horse was burned, two bug gies,' one road cart, mowing machine and rake, 75 barrels of corn, 100 bushels field peas, 10 tons hay, farming imple ments, harness, tools, and many things mora than space will permit the naming. His loss is estlnuted at from 8,500 to 8,000 dollars with no Insurance. W have the best fire department here that can be found in the State I venture to say. Whenever the cry of ore is heard all go prepared to fight to the last. Men, women and boys, white and black, all go to work to win and the result Is generally victory, B. Marine Engineers Strike. Norfolk Virginian June 14 th. It is two weeks today since the engi neers of the port of Norfolk and the ves sels owners disagreed as to the amount of wages the engineers should receive for their services. The engineers adopt ed a new ssale of wages, which they warned their employers would go in effect June 1. The vessel owners, many of them' refused to grant the new scale, which was an increase over the former wages received by the engineers. Many vessels were tied up and are still tied up as a result of the differences between employees and employers. Reportsf rom various Tide wates points formerly touched by the steamers of the Old Dominion Steamship company and the Norfolk and Southern railway, Indi cate that the people In those sections of Virginia and North Carolina are suffer ing great hardships and inconveniences by the withdraws! of the several vessels belonging to these two companies. Both freight and passenger facilities have been seriously crippled in some of the outlying districts. The truckers have especially suffered hardships. A FISH OUT OF WATER The t'n;-ciitf rrI!o TU Caused Hi 1 kilwrlr Death. A fJcru-.ivn scientist he could only have been a Gorman once conceived, we tire told, a plan to train a fish to live out of water. He placed a thriv ing tittle carp In a small tank and with infinite patience and great exactness removed from the tank one spoonful of water every day, at the same time Increasing gradually the amount of oxygen in the water. In time the wa ter barely covered the carp, and still It tlyrived. The quantity of water con tinued to diminish, and, by slowly adapting Its method of breathing to the new conditions, the fish began to breathe air and Indeed became quite terrestrial In Its habits before the tank was entirely dry.-. The scientist had grown to love the carp. He fed It from his own hand, and now that It was liv ing in the same element with himself he took It from the tank and left it as free to follow Its own devices aa was the. family cot. The little fish also loved Its master. It followed him about from place to place, flopping along aft er hlin, stopping only occasionally to leap for a passing fly. One day the scientist was crossing a bridge. The carp, as usual, was at his heels, enjoy ing the pleasant air of the countryside and uttering from time to time a little sound expressive of delight and con tentment About the middle of the bridge a fat housefly was sunning it self on the ralL The carp spied the fly and Jumped for it, but miscalculat ing the distance went over the rail Into the river and was drowned.

"1 can lick any man In Dyersvllle,' he announced one day In the main street of that village. "There was no response.' 'I can lick any man in Dyer county,' be then pro claimed. .

Branson Goes to Georgia, Ex tension Ral eigh Lim its. v Raliish, June IB State Auditor Dixon who has charge of pension mat ters, says he thinks there will bean in crease of the number of pensioners this year. He to sure there will be an In crease In the number of widow pension ers, aa the new law allows pensions to widows whose husband died or were killed, and who afterwards re-marrled and whose second husbands Is now dead. There la no change in the law as to the disabilities of male pensioners. "One change Is made which will add some to the list. The law allows soldiers who deserted, but who returned to their com mand and were honorably discharged, to be placed on the pension roll. There Is a good deal of alarm among many persons at the unseasonably ceol weather which has prevailed for a few days, on account of a belief that Irrepar able damage has been done the crops. Commissioner of Agriculture Patterson was asked today what he thought of this matter and said he thought that though the crops will be checked in growth and some of the young vegetation would turn yellow, yet he did not believe there would be any serions damage. Be says dry weather Is needed, enough rain hav ing fallen everywhere In the State. The reports from banks and those from corporations are being very rapidly received by the 8tate Auditor. A charter for a cotton mill was grant ed today. It Is to the Whetstone Manu facturing Co., of Bessemer City, Gaeton county, and authorizing that Company to spin and weave fabrics from any tex tile materials, cotton, woo), etc. The capital stock la $100,000 and the stock holders are L W Buck, J H Wllktns.and S J Durham. Governor A j cock left today for Nash ville, to deliver an address at Vanderbllt University. His theme will be "Educa tion." . - . v. v..'. The trustees of the Methodist Orphan age here will meet;tomorrow. Congress man Robert N. Page of Blscoe is its president. A member of the board says he does not think the new building can be completed before Thanksgiving day and that it will probably be dedicated that day. Prof. W. Ii. Poteat of Wake Forest to day brought his son Hubert, aged 17 to a hospital here, the boy having typhoid fever. Rev. Dr. Levi Branson, so well known in the Methodist Church In this State, will make his home at Atlanta, to whleh city he has gone. The most Interesting local matter here is the election on the question of exten sion of Raleigh's limits. The opposition to extension is working hard and spend ing money one wealthy citizen and one corporation leading the fight This oppo sltion has raised $1500 and has agents at work. On the side of extension there is what may be called merely a general In terest, but this is now being aroused by the action of these righting extension. Very few North Carolina Republicans now go to Washington, since the term of benator Pritchard ended, as there Is nobody for them to see.

Mr D H Russell has the beat corn, J W Woodoull the best cotton, J A Pitt- man the best peanuts, D Q Ward the best melons, J M Jones the best Irish potatoes and onions in gardens. We are having plenty of vegetables of all kinds, green corn (rositlng ears), squash, cucumbers, onions, peas, beans, turnips, tomatoes, etc. Mr Lena Hill la still very sick. Mrs. Mary Willis, the aged mother of Mr Van B Willis, Is very low. She Is not cx- p(C:edto live many hours longer. Mr J W Woodhull and Mrs G W Bmlth have been right sick but are better now. Mr George Hill and Miss Lucy Erwia were married last week here, by D G Ward, Esq. George was one of our boys and Lucy was one of Trenton's little girls. The two stole a march on some body, but they didn't runaway, only walked a little frays. They seem happy and we are satisfied if they are. Next Sunday another couple will do the samo thing If no one don't prevent it; they have the license and the J P and preachers are ready to tie the knot. So L and E don't be scared, vou shall not be hurt. One or two other couples, one espec ially, ought to marry or quit cooing so much, two or three years 1b loDg enough to be engaijed, but when It comes to ten years, we think that most too long. Miss Katie Plttman has gone to Wil mington on a visit to her aunt, Mrs Laughlln, Mr O B Jarman, of Jacksonville was down again laBt week. Come again, Os car. ' Miss Daisy Flttmau gave a birthday party last Tuesday night on her, (well, she told us not to tell her age) birthday, at which a number of young ladles and gents, some from the country attend, by Invitation.

Good music and confections, with ica cream and songs, with some courting thrown In for wedge wood. Very dull here last week, and this week too, only 10 commercial drummers during the past week, one lacking 20, but Dr Nelson Blount said he would make the twentieth, and he did so. Now he Is going to Wilmington next week after a pair of saddle bags to go drum ming In, He says Doctors and drum mers go together. Guess they do too, anyway.

He was my roomate at college, he was our Captain in the army ' we married sisters, and for thirty years we have been brothers, and in all the varied rela tions of life, I can say he measured up a gallent gentleman, a brave Confederal Soldier, an affecianate husband, and fa ther, a true friend, and a worthy citizen. His life was rounded up with sixty years, he was called at the floodtlde of his beautiful home life' respect and love of friends and fellow citizens; HI win ters may have been long and his sum mers sun's may at time have beat fierce ly upon his devoted head, yet he faltered not, and won the race, and fell only at the goal: and though death loves a shining mark, he struck him with only a single dart, and robbed that of much of Its bitterness, by thrusting him, in the full enjoyment of all his faculties, at home, in the loting arms of his family: who could ask to die better or have a greener memory.

Pollocksvllle N C June 13. 1903. The University Summer School. Teachers of North Carolina and ad joining States are showing their appre ciation of the efforts made by the author ities of the Unlveisity to provide for them the best instruction and other ad vantages during the Summer School, June 15, July 10. Nearly all the rooms In the Carr Building, which is reserved for ladles and under the care of Dr and Mrs Lewis, of Klnston, have been en gaged. The Mary Ann Smith Building will also be occupied by ladles, the South Building by the gentlemen. Fur nished rooms, and good board at Com mons Hall, cost only ten dollars for the term, teachers staying in the dormito ries bringing towels aud bed linen. Forty-four courses are offered, Inclu ding subjects of special value to teachers, of all grades. In addition to the mem bers of the University faculty, there are among the Instructors such well known specialists as Dr Herman H Home, Pro fessors W C A Hammel, Arthur B Mor rill, Franklin L Riley, D N Shoemaker, Maurice G Fulton, W L Foushee, Julius I Foust, Misses Margeret A Johnston and Melvile Fort, Professor Robert M Brown, and others whose instruction will be most helpful to our teachers who desire to broaden their scholarship and Improve their methods. The opportuni ty for such great advantages at so small a cost has not heretofore been offered to the teachers of North C arolina or any other State. A Clock VT.U a i.'lut ry. Recently there was on sale in Edin burgh nn old eight day clock which has a very Interesting history. About a century ago there lived at Bannock burn Betty Wilcox, the widow of an English soldier who had fought at Culloden. '. Her only son, a sailor, lay in a Russian prison, the crew of his ship having been Captured by a cruiser of Czar Alexander I. She knitted three pairs of fine stockings and sent them as a present to the cxar along with a letter praying for her son's release. The parcel was' intrusted to the cap tain of a ship sailing from Alloa to the Baltic, and the captain succeeded in getting It presented to the czar through a Scottish physician, Sir James Wylle, a favorite at court The czar waa greatly moved at the mother's peti tion and at once set the sailor free, dispatching to the widow a handsome sum of money. With part of the mon ey she bought the clock and had paint ed on it ecenes Illustrating her son's captivity, Greater Pittaburff. Pittsburg takes a leaf out of Chica go's book and starts out on a career of ambitious expansion which will not stop till It has taken in all of Alleghe ny county and perhaps some slices ot contiguous ones. The legislature has passed a bill squinting In this direc tion, and Governor Pennypacker has signed it It provides for the absorp tion into the central municipality of some fifty or more boroughs and town ships, making up altogether a popula tion of about 600,000. The advantages expected from this are that it will give better government and mean the bet ter administration of public utilities. It will, in fact, recreate the city, giv ing it Increased importance Industrial ly, commercially and politically, and It la predicted for It that one of these days It "will wield aa great an influ ence at Harrlsburg and .Washington aa Philadelphia."
