C. HUDGINS, O. P. A. Mysterious Disappearance. A report was brought here of the disappearance last Monday of two col ored girls from their home in the neighborhood of Island Creek, Jones county, and all efforts since to locate their whereabouts have been of no avail. It seems that the mother of the girls, who is a widow, sent them out Monday morning about 10 o'clock to look for some stray cattle, and they left on the errand followed by two dogs belonging to the family. No alarm was felt for their safety until night came on and they failed to return, when the mother realized that something was wrong. f The neighbors were summoned and a search was instituted early Tuesday morning and has been kept up since without revealing the whereabouts of the lost ones. The home is situated near the head of Island Creek on the edge of the great Catfish Lake pocosin and it is surmised that the girls, in rambling about, got lost in the woods. The older one is named Julia Ann, and she is sixteen years old, the younger is Elsie, and she is thirteen, the daughters of Elsie Jar man. The dogs, are described as fol lows: One weighing about forty pounds, color black, white chest and spot in the face; the other is of brindle color and weighs thirty or thirty-five pounds. In the search a fragment of cotton cloth was found which might have been a portion of stocking worn by one of the wanderers, but it wss so frayed and worn doubt of that was enter tained. Tracks were found also but could not . positively be identified as those of the girls. There is scarcely a doubt but they are wandering about in the pocosin, for iz they were dead, it is likely that the dogs would return. The writer remembers that about twenty-three years ago, a negro youth sixteen or seventeen years of age be came lost in the same pocosin and nun- bled about for nearly two weeks. When found, he was wild and after capture it was several days before he couw give any account 01 bis wander ings which could not have been over a very greet area aa he was found about uiree miles irora Home.

Nature's Way Is Best. The function strengthening and tissue building plan of treating chronic, linger ing ana obstinate eases of disease as pur sued by Dr. Pierce, is following after Nature's plan of restoring health. He nses natural remedies, that la extracts from native medicinal roots, prepared by proowises wrought out by lt expenditure of much time and moner. without the use of alcohol, and by skillful combination in just the right proportions. Csed as ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry bark, Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Bloodrnot and Stone root, specially exert their influence In cases of luug, bronchial and throat troubles, and this Discov ert" is, therefore, a soverlgn remedy for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs, catarrh and kindred ailments. The above native roots also have the Strongest possible endorsement from the leading medical writers, of all the several schools of practice, for the cure not only of the diseases named above but also for indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter where located. You don't have to take Dr. Pierce's say-so alone as to this; what he claims for his "Discovery" is backed up by the writings of the most eminent men in the medical profession. A request by postal card or letter, addressed to Dr. H. V. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y., for a little book of extract from eminent medical au thorities endorsing the Ingredients of his medicines, will bring a little book free that is worthy of your attention tf needing a good. safe, reliable remedy of known composition for the cure of almost auy old chronic, or lingering malady.

BIG CABBAGE SHIPMENT Ths Succulent Vegetable Is King ol the Market The large cabbage shipment of the season was made on the steamer Neuse last evening, Big loads of crates fairly came in streams and the dock and ware house was crowded with them. It is estimated that between 2,000 and 2,500 were shipped. The price was the attractive thing about the whole matter. There seems to be an insatiable demand for cabbages in the north, and the supply is limited, hence, guilt edge prices. Here is a sample of the northern market: Bos ton, $3.50; Providence, $3.50; New York, $2.00to$2.50; Philadelphia, $2.00 to $2.50; local, $1.75 to $2.00.

Dear Sir: The way to buy paint is to go by the name. There is a name never seen on sham paint or weak paint or short-measure paint: Devoe. There are a hundred different names in paint. Some are sham; some weak; some short-measure, and some all three. If there is another snch paint as De voe, lead-and-zinc, we don't know it. There are a few fairly good paints; a few; only one Devoe is worth a gallon and a half of those few. Mr. Aaron Higgins, of PlainfiekL N. J., always used 15 gallons of mixed paint for his house. Last spring he bought 15 gallons of Devoe and had 4 gallons left. Yours truly, 60 F. W. Devoe & Co, P. &. -E. W. Smallwood sells our paint ' Pollocksville . . ; ; May 14.

BU Williams preached a most powerful sermon before a very large congregation at Christ Church Sunday night The discourse had un usual element of strength in it because of its practical nature. His text was from Christ's own words, "Judge not that ye be not judged for with what measure ye mete; it shall be meted out to you again." He applied this ad- monition to the common practice bt gossip and of rendering vicious and un true things on person's characters from beresay evidence. We are all . sinners before God and have no right to sit in judgment on any man's acts we ourselves being under a condemnation as grevious as is the one we apply to another. The world is given over to pessimism and it is because we misapprehend our brother's acts and attribute to him mean and unworthy motives. Wears put into the world to discover the beauty, not the meanness there is in it We are to uplift the lowly and to make glad the heart that is lonely and sad. We are to point to the cross of Christ and not by unkind criticism in jure one man's eaaractof and possibly prejudice another so that his wilhning- neas to accept the Christian religion will be diminished. - Mrs. Annie DeRosett Harris sang at the offertory Ambrose, rendition of Alice Carys beautiful song "One Sweetly Solemn Thought' The words, the music and the rich, strong; sweet voice of the singer combined to make the song especially delightful.
