Saturday's News and Observer says : The Executive Board otthepenitcn tiary yesterday deposited a written re quest with the State Treasurer to issue and sell bonds in amount sufficient to raise $64,165, for the purchase ot the Caledonia farms and to cover the ex penses of issuing and selling the bonds. It was originally intended to buy also the Anson farm, and it may be done yet, but as the lease on it does not ex pire for some months yet, the commit tee will take its time about making the purchase. For the purpose of buying both the Anson and Caledonia farms the Legislature (chapter 607, Laws of 1899) authorized the issue of bonds to the amount of $95,000. As the Cale donia farm can be bought for $64,165, there is still left $30,835 for the pur chase of the Anson farm at some future date, if its purchase is deemed expe dient. Death of Mr.. J. H.

Almost every citizen in Halifax county knew personally, or knew of, Sheri ff Parker," of Enfield. For some time his health has been poor and for the past few weeks his condition had been regarded as critical. He died at hi3 home in Enfield last Friday, and the following interesting facts about him were given m a letter from Enfield to the News and Observer June 16th : 'Mr. Jas. IT. Parser, popularly known as "Sheriff Parker," died here to-day. Mr. Tarker has been in failing health for the past few months. Some two months ago his end was daily expected, but his indomitable will prevailed and to the surprise of hi3 friends Mr. Parker recoyered sufficiently to drive out and superintend the work of his farm. This was, however, but the flickering of the candle before the light became extinguished. He was confined to his bed but a few days, when the end ame calmly and peacefully this morn ing. 'Sheriff Parker was in his 77th year. Ho was bora in Halifax county, and '68 years'ago married Miss May Scott, who suryives him. The issue of this mar- iage are Mr. W. F. Parker, chairman County Commissioners ; S. W. Parker, of Oxford ; R. B. Parker, Enfield ; Mrs. A.M. Garrett, deceased ; Mrs. A. S. Bar- bee, Chapel Hill ; Mrs. ft. R. Pollock, Ilingwood ; Mrs. A. M. Bracy, deceased ; Mrs. Cary Hunt, Enfield. "Sheriff Parker was indeed a wonder ful man in many ways. Mis education was limited to 8 months at school. Still by determined and studious efforts he was a self-made man, had excellent business capacities and '"amassed large estates. He was, probably, the largest real estate owner in the county. Most ol the town of Enfield belonged to him. "Mr. Parker was a member of the Ma sonic order, and had held many import ant positions." A FRIGHTFUL BLUNDER Will often cause a horrible Burn, Sld.

She closed her obser vations by saying, "Paint helps almost mything but a lady's lace." Some of the people of Scotland Neck have reached the same conclusions, nd we have observed that several per sona are painting their houses. Among those observed are Capt. W. H. Kitch- n's new residence on Main street ; Mr. G. C. Weeks' residence on Main street ; Mr. Bennett Allsbrook's on Main trefit : Mr. T. W.Fenner's new cottaae the knit tin er mills on Greenwood street; Mr. Johnson Allsbrook's cottage rn Seventh street: Dr. R.M.Johnson's residence on Church street, and per haps some others.

Einowood, June 10, '99. The past lew nights have been cool, and the crops look worsted. At a vocal union at Hickory, near here, there were a thousand people present from Enfield, Rocky Mount, Hilliardston and elsewhere. There is considerable sickness ma larial fever and flux. Tobacco crops are above the average and corn and cotton are fine. The M. P. Church which is being rebuilt is nearly completed. Some of the Masonic fraternity at tended the funeral of Sheriff Parker, whose death is very much regretted. The telephone line here is a great convenience. There are a few loafers around, but this is no time for loafing. "Work" is the watchword. CATARRH On Thursday nieht of last week- them was a pleasing entertainment in Tem perance Hall for the benefit of Scotland Neck Atheletic Association. The entertainment consisted nf recitations, tableaux, &c. The pro gramme was well rendered and elicited hearty applause. A nice little amount was realized for the Association.

Catarrh of tlie bowels, be cause it is most prevalent in the summer months, is called summer catarrh. Itsurprises many that bowel trouble is catar rhal. Dr. Hartnian's books make this plain. Write to the Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O., for them. They tell all about catarrh and how Pe-ru-na cures it wherever located. "I had chronic diarrhoea for fifteen years," writes Mr. T. E. Miller, Grand Prairie, Tex. "I tried many medicines and doctors in vain. At last Pe-ru-na was recom mended, and it relieved and cured me at once." Mr. John Harting, 633 Main St., Cincinnati, O., writes: "My wife and myself took your Pe- ru-na for chronic diar rhoea and it cured us. No doctor or medicine we tried before helped us." Mr. Edward Wormack, Ledbetter, Tex., writes: "Pe-ru-na fnr bowel troubles is unequalled f 'E? by anything m my ex perience. I owe my life to Pe-ru-na, and shall always recom mend it to those suffer ing as I was." Mr. John Edgarton, 1020 Third Ave., Altoona, Pa., says: "I suffered from dysentery for three years I took' Pe-ru-na and am now well."
