THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Sybup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the Calikoknia Fm Sibop Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fio Sykup Co. with the medi cal pi-ofession, and the satisfaction which the genuino Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN rHANOISO. CM. ; CCUVILLE. Kr. XKW YeiiK,.T. THE JOURNAL.

Saturday's regular evening train brought In a large crowd from up the country and the summer special arriving an hour or two later had aboard many passengers who came to spend the heated days of July by the sea-side. The Petty johns are exerting themselves to please the visitors and they are eminently suc cessful. When one gels within tight of the holel.fiags are waved as an invitation to enter and the band plays patriotic airs to welcome the new comers. The same spirit of thoughtfulness on the part of the managers is apparent every where about the hotel. Saturday night thirty-live or forty of the young ladies and gentlemen danced the german led by Mr. Tom C. Daniels. The ball room was gayly decorated with flags and bunting and the floor was in splendiS condition. There were many pretty girls among the dancers who would glide as the dream of summer thro' the waltzes played by the orches tra. Some of the dancers were: Misses Lulie Ives, Bessie Williams, Mamie Dan ids, Lizzie Hancock, Belle Marks, of New Berne; Miss Dowd, of Durham, Misses Skinner, Latham, Hooker, of Greenville; Miss Clark, of Wilson; Mrs, Humphrey, of Goldsboro; Mrs. Petty john, of Atlanta; Messrs.

Chapel on Pollock street, Members of all the churches Invi ted to attend. It may not be amiss to say a word about the purpose of thlt meeting. It is an -undenominational mesting designed to form a basis for the co-oper ation and fellowship of all Christians in prayer and song and exhortation that will lead eventually to a great awaken ing in our midst. No man who feels himself a Christian can object to its pur pose we are sure. There Is entirely too much isolation among Christians. They have no common place of meeting and therefore they don't know each other. Such a prayer meeting as we are trying to have will destroy this tendency snd bring ut all nearer together and nearer to God. .W.G.J.
