An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and benefloiol
effects of the well known remedy,
Bybup or Fioa, manufactured by the
Califoksia Fio Syrup Co., Illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-.
tive principles of plants known to be
medioinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing' to the
taste and acceptable to the system; It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but tho medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained .from senna and
other 'aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CAuroRSiA Fio Stbtjp
Co. onlv. In order to got its beneficial
effects nad to avoid, imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on tho front of every package.

'; . cf "The BcaiUful " Fell. :
The snow began to fall about 7 o'clock
yesterday morning and never ceased all
day. It was lbs biggest fall ever known
here, all agree, but, it came down so
quietly and tbe air was so mild that it
was not disagreeable day.- Vs ji
.Two year ago, Sunday Febrnaty 12,
there was a heavy snow fall, a depth of
? inches being - noted. It was much
coldei that day, the thermometer drop
ping to 12 degrees, with a maximum of
i decrees during the day. It will be re
called that th trains were aU delayed,
the Atlantic Coast Line not getting)
through for several days. There was. al
to ice entirely across Neuse river, so
that It-was much more wintry than yes
terday, although the snow fall wai not
as great.
' New Bern can go way back when it
comes to telling about the weather. It
is banded down that in 1780 people
crossed the rivers hero on the toe. That
is further back than the memory of "tbe
oldest inhabitant',,' but this individual is
fond of recalling that February 7ib,
and 8th, 1888, tbe thermometer was be
low zero with a maximum of only 12
above at noon.
When enough snow bad fallen yester
day to form a snow ball, the bays began
to get In their work, and all day,,espec
tally on Middle street, the fan was fast
and furious. Everybody got pelted, age
was no protection, aud sex deserved
hone, for the girls were out aud throw
ing snow balls as straight SB nature al
lowed them to. Too much freedom was
taken by some of the frollckers and
there were a number of small fights as a
result.
Mr. Ferd Hsbn had his two seated
sleigh out shortly after noon and the
big pair of horses kept moving the rest
of the afternoon and ttaeWjeijih bells
jingled merrily. This bleigbls the only
ons in town and is justly deemed a cu
rioilty. Mr. Hah a has used the Bleiira
for the last three winters, last year af
fording a few hours of the sport.
A feature ot the day was the fool gear
of tbe colored men. They obtained big
piece of bagging and tied it over their
shoes aud up around their ankles snd
then went ploughing along very content
edly. Tbe draymen and the transfer
drivers had a bad time of It and said
they didn't like "no such."
A fall of snow is considered a, good
thing for the fs'mers and truckers. It
covers up tbe vegetation and seems to
enrich tbe soil, at least belter crops are
said lo follow snow fal's. For tbe fWher
men it is bsd, it cbllls the water and tin
fish do not corns up tbe river and It was
aid yesterdsy that tbe effect will be to
make shad and herring scarce in the
market.
People who bsd telephones yesterday
were lucky, for they could telephone
their wants to the batcher, the bsk?r,
and the candle stick maker. The central
office said that it was an awful busy dsy,
a constant call for "oentral.
The snow began at Qoldsboro yeiier
day earlier than it did bere and it was
reported heavy all along ,the line. At
Kaleigb about three inches of snow fell
tbe storm letting up in the afternoon
about three o'clock.
In the three lower gradeij of the
Graded School there will bo no sssilon
tomorrow, tbe ground will be unfit for
the smaller scholsrs to reach the bulid-
dk. Notice ot this will be found In
notber column.
Careful measurement of the snow fall
showed Ibsl nlnt inches bad fallen up
lo late lait night. The lowest point
touched by tbs thermometer during the
at hours was 90 degrees. The weather
bureau predicts fair and colder for to-
dsy.
Oyster Packers Hot Dishonest
Editor Jouuial. Id your Issue) of
thetjd reporting the Legislative pro
ceedings at Raleigh, In reference to the
new Oyster hill, your cor.-etpondent says
"It was reported In tb Hons, that eea
ner and packer had avoided taxation
Id every conceivable way.... '" 1 f '
'. Now we do not know ; who It was that
made this statement, hut whoever It wai
either knows nothing whatever asto whs
he assertr, or made the statement know
tng that It was maliciously false.
For our own basinets we will tsy that
we paid every dollar dte the Stale on
our business, until this season. We
paid hundreds of dollars to tbe State in
good faith, and received nothing whit
ever from the State for it.
The tax was for "Inspection" which
everyone (who knows anything about
the business) know was the veriest
farce. The political Inspectors did nolo
Ing whatever, never made any Inspec
tion as required by the law, and for days
and weekt were not teen at all on the
oyster wharves.
We do not mind paying this tax for
inspection," if the Slate carries oat
its part, and ciusei the oysters to be in'
spected, but we do object to paying
something for nothing.
We doubt very much If any merchant
would pay for goods which wore sever
hipped or delivered to him, or thst any
lawyer would allow his client to pay for
proptrty which was never conveyed to
him, and we do not beleive that the
State can force the oyster dealers to pay
an Inspectors tax when there Is no in
spection.
We are satisfied that every oyster
packer" In New Bern paid tbe full
amount of his tax to the State, just as
fully and honestly as we did ours, and
we beleive that all the cauners and
packers In the Slate bare been much
more honest on their part as to this In
spectors tax, than has the State of North
Carolina on Us part

Snow for Packlnf FIsU.
The fish men, tome of them, took ad-
vantags of the heavy snow fall,, yester
day, to stow away a quantity of snow in
tfaeii Ice boxes, to be used in tba place
of ice In packing fish for shipment
Fish dealer say fresh dean snow it
better for packing flab with lor ahlpment
than Ice, at It packs more closely.
Mr. Geo. N. Ives, a large fish and
oyster shipper, speaking of gathering
snow, said yesterday, that during a very
heavy mow fall here a few years ago, he
got out teams and men, and gathered up
60 tons of snow, which be pat away
Thlt snow cost htm about fifteen AoV.
lart to have gathered and stored away,
which be afterwards used In hit basinets
The' cost of ice, which would have bad to
b) purchased if no snow bad beeu gath
ered, would have amounted to two to
three thousand dollars.

Modern Conversation.
N. Y. Sua.
Have you seen 'When Poached Eggs
Were On Toau ?"
'No I've lead the book. Have you
teen 'Under two Breads' :
iHot yet I've read tbe book.
shouldn't think it would make nearly so
good a play as 'Unleavened Flags.' "
"I didn't read 'Unleavened Flags,' but
if it was as poor a book as it was a play
it wasn't worth reading. Still, you can
always tell. You've seen 'In the Palaoe
of Harum,' of course."
"Oh, yes indeed I wasn't half through
the book when I saw that."
"I didn't read the book. I was afraid
they'd put tbe last chapter first as they
did when they dramatized 'David Mere
dith,' you know. I don l believe in this
dramatizing a novol by mixing it up un
til you can't recognize it."
'Ob, I do. "it's ever so much more
exciting all mixed up. I like tbe kind
of dramatized novel where you can't
tell which novel it is until tbe third act
at least."
" 'To Bhave and To Scold' ought to
make a good play don't you tbink
aor"
'Ob, yes, Indeed; much better Ihsn
'Carvics Janel' did. By the way, did
you ever hear of a play by tbe name of
'Hamlet f"
'Hamlet'? Why, don't remember any
novel of that name. Really? You don't
mean it? Ob. if that's the esse, I
shouldn't csre to see it. Have you read
Huxley'a 'Life and Letters' ?"
"No, there's not the slightest chance of
Its being dramatized, I'm told. I'm read
lug 'When The Boup Orews Cold' the
advertisement ssys It's sure to be dramatized."
