Wilmington without change, arriv
ing there at 1:15 p. m., this will do
away with the necessity of any
change of cars between here and
Wilmington, this gives time for
breakfast at Hamlet. This train al
so makes direct connection at Ham

Portsmouth, also dlrct connection
for points South, Columbia, Jack

to Charlotte without change, arriv
ing at Charlotte at 10.50 p. m., giv
ing 20 minutes at Hamlet for sup
per, this also avoids changing cars
at any point between Wilmington
and Charlotte, and arrives here one
hour earlier than at present, and
has no connection to wait on, assur
ing the arrival at Charlotte on time.
Both these trains make connec
tion at Maxton with trains to and
from Fayettevllle.
This will be most welcome news
to the traveling public and specially
Charlotte people, as it gives them
through service both ways, and gets
them home much earlier at night.

bushwhackers and fanatics, Script

and the atmosphere Is one of peace
and religious devotion. Brazil is
one of our most fruitful and Inviting
fields and Cuba is shot through with
light and hope. In the mission
fields of the world, last year, there
were 3,600 communicants and 10,

A SAFEGUARD TO CHILDREN.
"Our two children of six and
eight years have been since Infancy
subject to colds and croup. About
three years ago I started to use Fo
ley's Honey and Tar, and it has nev
er failed to prevent and cure these
troubles. It is the only medicine I
can get the children to take without
a row." The above from W. C. Orn
stein, Green Bay, Wis., duplicates
the experience of thousands of other
users of Foley's Honey and Tar.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure js taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing , its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

of a fertilizer lies in the ma
