EXHIBITS INDICATE RESOURCES. A local Fair, or a Slate Fair should be an exhibition of the product of Its lo cality, or Stale. And these exhibits are a visible guar antee of the resources of the country, and show the possibilities of soli and climate, aided by the Industry and Intel ligence of the people who have grown products. The exhibits may be the product of manufacture, and in degree, these manu factures will indicate the resources of the met ion, attesting by the variety of articles, the skill of the makers, as Will the finish of the articles show the possi bilities for manufacture. The New Bern Fair, in its former ex hibits, have shown visitors the possibili ties of Eastern North Carolina, both In its grown and manufactured products. These exhibits have been excellent in the past, but there is every reason for expecting even greater excellence in the November Fair Exhibition, this year. In one grown product, especially, should the Fair management encourage competition In making an exhibition, and that Is in tobacco. There was at one time, some very erroneous ideas about this section of North Carolina, as regards its ability to grow fine tobacco. Some persons may still have doubts about the quality of tobacco grown In this section, and there can be nothing like a Tobacco Exhibit at the November Fair, in this city, to thoroughly dissipate forever such ideas. Let the Fair management offer some good premiums for tobacco, and make a good tobacco exhibit at the coming Fair. State or Ohio, Oitv o Tolioo, ) Lucas Couhty, ) " Frank J.

Any one acquainted with the bilge water question knows It Is of en trotslng interest Bilge Is a, prince among smells, and if you have ever fallen under Its power you will always think that every terrific thing In smells Ih a manifestation of bilge water.

In the morning we found it was the rotting carcass of an ele phant that bad floated down the river and now hung In the mooring chain. After a considerable time was spent in getting rid of the carcass I said, "For goodness' sake, gentlemen, stir up your bilge water, and let the smells light It out together while we go ashore for a spell." "No," said' my companions, terror stricken at the sug gestion. "You do not know our bilge water when Its back's up. It would stretch you If you were half way across Africa. This elephant Is mere lavender water to It."

"I do not kuow how the thine 01 'Urinat ed or where it came from," observed an old resident to a reporter, "but 1 do know of a custom lu my boyhood days In Washington, any 50 years ago, that, aa far as I can learn, does not exist now. It was of di-npinir street (lonrkuohs with purple or culil colored ribbon the day a wedding n as to be celebrated in a house. Il was the custom certainly In the old First ward all of the city lyinjr between Fifteenth xtreet niu! Ilock creek and I am sure in some other sect Inns, if not all over the city. I was told once that the custom prevailed Jn Kurope ninny years ago, but had full Into disuse there. Very often, if the occupants of the house, the parents of tbe bride or others did not provide the outBide decora tion, friends furnished it. The mark was hang like the ordinary funeral crape from the outside doorknob. In the great majority of the cases a purple rihlion lyns used, but 1 bnve seen a gold col ored ribbon used. The ends huug long always, renchiug to the level of the bot tom of the door. "I have known of this decoration beiDg placed on doors even without the con sent of the parties who were to be mar ried and nooVrstood that it was done by Instruction of tbe clergyman who Was to perform the marriage and who did it for bis own protection In cnes where Ihe marriage bnnna had not been regularly made public in the church. Tbe custom of reading out marrlnge banns was al most universal In the early days of Washington, all denominations Joining in lt' la some churches they were read an three successive Sundays, in others on two Sunday, while lu ethers one Sun day. In sonic cases where the people who were to be married were not church goers or who did nut desire that their banns should be published in tbe church es some clergymen deiuauded that pub lic notice should ba given of the wed ding by the doorknob decoration, which wat bung 'at early breakfast time' and remained 00 tbe knob until after the wedding waa celebrated. In eases where there were lo be weddiugs st churches 1 have known of a similar sign being given. Some ministers objected vry seriously to he custom, tuough other were as strongly in Its favor. I hive not seen snythlng or Indeed heard any one talk even of tbe custom for at least BO' year, but it waa very generally observed 1 half century ago here aud, for ail I know, lu ether eitlee."

OAflTOrtlA, We have the highest regard for the medical profession. Our preparation ai u uot sold for the purpose ot am agon izing them, but rather as au aid. We lay it down as an established truth that internal remedies ore positively injuri ous to expectant mothers. The distress and discomforts experienced during the months preceding childbirth cuu bo al leviated only by external treatment by applying a liniment that softens and re laxes the over-strained muscles. We make and. sell such a liniment, com bining the ingredients in a manner hitherto unknown, and call it Mothers Friend - Wo know that in thousands of cases it hai proved more Than a blessing ta expectant mothers. It overcomes morn ing skkness. It relievos Ihe sense ol tightness. Headaches cease, and dan ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising Breasts io avoided. Labor itself is shortened and shorn of most of the pain. We know that many doctors recom mend it, and we know that multitudes of women go to tho drug stores and buy it because they arc sure their physicians have no objections:. We ask a trial just a fair test. There is no possible chance of injury being the result, be cause Mother's Friend is .scientific ally compounded. It is sold at $1 a bot flc. and should be used during most oi the period of gestation, although great relict is expei lenced 11 used only a short time before childbirth.
