Everyone should take a tonic in the Spring; their systems require it. The blood has
become thick and sluggish with the accumulations lefkin the system from breathing the
impure air of closed rooms and overheated buildings; the heavy, rich foods of the Winter
season, etc., and when this vital fluid is aroused and stirred to quicker action by the return
of warmer weather, the waste matters and poisons are distributed through the circulation.,
to act depressingly and iijjuriously on the system. The blood being in this unnatural and
impure condition is unabV to famish the body with the proper-amount of nourishment, and
.strength, and the rysiein suffers from debility, weakness, nervousness, indigestion, loss of
appetite, and many other unpleasant symptoms of a disordered blood circulation.

Resolutions of Respect. . .
It is with sentiments of profound
and unfeigned sorrow ' that the of'
ficial board of Centenary M. E. Church
South, New Bern, N. C.,- Is called to
chronicle the death ot one ot its tru
est and best members; one who as a
christian citizen embodied in his life
many high civic virtues, and aa
member of the church ot the living
God, showed forth in his daily walk
among men . the transforming power
of the grace of Christ Jesus. ; ; j
In the death of John Alexander
Meadows, who fell in sleep In the
city ot Baltimore, June 2nd, 1907, this
board, and the entire membership of
Centenary Church, are sorely be
reaved. . A prince in Israel has fallen
and the, mourners go about the streets
It may be truly said of our ascended
brother "His life was gentle, and the
elements so mixed in him, that na
ture might stand up and say to all
the world, this was a man." , .
He wore the white flower of a blame
less life, and passed to his reward
amid the lamentations ot a great mul
titude. L Therefore be it
Resolved 1st That in the death of
brother Meadows, the official board
has sustained an Irreparable loss; a
loss which the passing years will only
accentuate, and In all our future de
liberations, we shall miss him as one
who was wise to know and strong to
do; whose love for the church was
ardent, and who worshipped -at its
altar with, the unquestioning faith of
a little child. ; ; ,
Resolved, 2nd. That we will- ever
hold in reverence his exalted Chris
tian character ,and cherish the mem
ory of his many and unstinted bene
factions. ' .
; Resolved Jrd. That We extend to his
stricken home,' of which he . was
the princely .head, our tenderest sytb-
paty, and assure his bereaved wife and
shildren for whom he lived in all
the beauty of an unselfish love, that
we share with them their sacrament
ot grief made common to the whole
community by reason of his Christ
like ministries which touched the
needs of the world along the path of
the lengthening years. J
Resolved 4th, That a copy ot these
resolutions be spread upon the mln
utes ot this board, and the same made
a part of Its permanent records.
Resolved 6th, That a copy be sent
the family of our deceased brother,
and to the New Bern Journal, and

innocent man and which lifts a dark
cloud from the young man's reputa
tion. - The Journal will only state that

To the Editor ot Journal: '
In a recent Issue of your paper you
published what purported to be an ac
count of the burning ' of the store
house of Mr. Graham, near Harlowe. It
was stated that Mr. J. R-. Harrington
bad been, trailed by blood hounds and
was believed to be the man who had
burned the store, and that Mr. Har
rington had been arrested and held for
hia appearance before a magistrate in
Beaufort . - '' -vx
Since this article appeared in your
paper the case has been tried befdN
the magistrate 'in Beaufort and ' as
there was but little evidence, the soli
citor, who personally conducted the
prosecution, requested that the case he
dismissed, which was done.
Mr. Harrington is a young man. Of
good character, a member of the Meth
odist church In good standing,' and be
longs to a good family of people in
Carteret county. He had no connection
whatever with the burning ot the store
and his arrest was one of those unfor
tunate Incidents which sometimes hap
pen in a man's life,
The store was burned on Saturday
night Many people visited the place
on Sunday, and on Monday blood
hounds were brought from Greenville
and put upon a track which was sup
posed to be the track of the person
who burned the store. There was no
evidence that any one had burned the
store as the fire may have originated
from some accidental cause. The
blood hounds followed the track which
had been selected to be followed until
they came to a creek, when the track
was lost. The parties then took a boat
and crossed the creek and went sev
eral miles without any further trace of
any track.. They came to a landing and
the dogs started on the trail again, al
though there was no track there, as It
was in the woods. After going some
distance they entered a field where Mr,
Harrington was plowing, and when the
parties came near Mr. Harrington he
muched ' the dogs ana tney came 10
him and lay down at his feet The
dogs were very tired and Mr. Harring
ton thought they lay down to rest
They did not bay him or do anything
more than come up and lie down on
the ground.
After the solicitor heard this evi
dence he stated to the court that he
had no evidence sufficient and there
upon the case was dismissed. The
course pursued by the solicitor was
very highly complimented and proves
that he ia a fearless and just prosecu
tor.
Mr. Harrington proved an alibi by
his family and neighbors. He was at
home Saturday night when the store
was burned and did not leave hia
house that night
I hope you will publish this, as your
previous article was widely circulated
