kept; the people are.wlde awake and very
alert. The Governor and Judge Win
ston made twelve speeches eaoh. Ac
cording to the Governor, Judge Winston
literally took possession of the hearts of
all the people who heard him. His
speech was a delight from beginning to
end, full of s wit, humor, pathos and
argument, reaching at times to real and
high eloquence. His description of the
closing days of the war always evoked
the tensest attention .and ended, after
the audience had caught its breath, with
uprbarlous applause. Among other
things, Judge Winston tald, I rememcer

Mori load City, Sept SO, -
A Thing of the Past.
The Carnival Is now a thing of the
past. The crowds dispersing by 11
o'clock Saturday night It was made pos
sible for the managers of the different
shows to tear down their tents at an ear
Her hour than was expected. The tear
ing down and packing was done quietly
and the dawn of Sunday morning saw a
greatly different sight than there had
been during the week.
The cars were loaded at the space be
tween George etreet and tbe Frog Pond
and then were baoked up to the ACL
depot.
The Carnival has been a financial suc
cess and while there were a good deal of
vigorous opposition to the exhibition
on account of their blockading the
streets we are very glad to say that as a
whole It was good amusement and con
ducted quietly and In ird order. True,
the shows were not of a nature that
would call forth the highest mead of
praise and admiration, yet there have
been Carnivals supporting shows that
were so much worse that the people are
very glad to know that such concerns
can be respectable and worthy to be pat
ronlzed.
The Seeman-MIHIcan Carnival and
Mardl Gras Co., is a good amusement
concern and no oily need ever be fearful
that their enterprise will be regarded as
Improper in any way.
Injured in Gin.
Samuel Ipock of Cove, was seriously
Injured In Ipockg gin 17 miles from New
Bern Saturday evening.
He was operating the gin when his
right hand was caught in the machinery
and fearfully mangled.
A nurse near at hand sewed up the
wounds In order to make it better to
brine the wounded man to this city. He
was taken to Dr Duguld's office and an
examination showed the fore arm and
hand badly lacerated and two or three
fingers severed.
It was Impossible to state last night
just what the result would be, but no
thing more serious than the wound it
self was apprehended,
Mr C T Watson is having two neat
tenements erected on George Street,
below Pollock. The Improvements along
there take the place of a lot of old dllap
ldated shanties, that have been an eye
sore for many years. Just across the
street other improvements could be
made.
Davis Pharmacy Successful.
After a great deal of effort and corres
pondence, Davis Pharmacy the popular
druecist has succceeded in getting the
Dr Howard Co. to make a special half
price Introductory offer on tbe regular
fifty cent size of their celebrated specific
for the cure of constipation and dyspep
sia. This medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the stom
aoh snd bowels. It not only gives
quick relief, but it makes permanent
cures.
Dr Howard's specific has been so re
markably successful In curing constlpa
tlon, dyspepsia and all liver troubles,
that Davis Pharmacy is willing to retur
the price paid In every case where it
does not give relief.
The old fashioned Idea of dosing with
mineral waters, cathartic pi Is or harsh
puagatlves will soon be a thing of the
past. The best physicians are present)
Ing Dr Boward's specific because it real
ly gives the desired results and on ac
count of the small and pleasant dose
that is needed.
Headaohes, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, speeks before the eyes,
constipation, and all forms of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientfic medicine.
So great Is the demand for this spec
lflc, that Davis Pharmacy haa been able
to secure only a limited supply, and
every one who is troubled with dyspep
its, constipation ot liver trouble should
call upon him at once, or send 86 cents,
and get sixty doses of the best medicine
ever made, on this special half price of
f er, with his personal guarantee to refund
the money if It does net cure.
