A SONG OF GRATITUDE.

In olden times. Bethesda's pool
Was famed for healing all diseases ;
Once plunged beneath its waters cool.
Each evil, stain and sickness ceases.
In modern days we find a cure,
OF worth IL rare, as much deserving
\. remedy safe, quick and sure,
DR.. RichmoEd's SAMARITAN NER.
VINE.
For Epilepsy, Spasms, Fevers, Coles
Cramps,
Coughs, Colds, or any kind of Phth
sic;
Its merit as a leader stamps
1t far above all other physics.
1t goes at once right to the spot
Where turks the danger. never swerv.
ingt
In all the world perhaps there's not
\ cure like DR.. Richmond's NERVINE
As in the blood diseases lie;
Each artery, each vein. each curve in
There's nothing makes i'll humor fly.
Like the SAMARITAN NERVINE.
For old or young, for rich or poor,
Whatever class of life you serve in.
TO health wide open is the door,
From the SAMARITAN NERvINE.
Then. do you value strength and health
And think these blessings worth pre-
serving.
Better than all Golconda's wealth.
Is DIR. Richmond's SAMARITAN NER
VINE.

The Teachers Institute which has

THE FAUCETTE WILL CASE.
This is the most important and
interesting civil cause that has been
tried in Chatham county for a long
series of years. It was begun on
Thursday evening of the first week
of this term of the court. Friday,
Friday night and Saturday were
spent in the examination of wit
nesses. Monday, Tuesday and Tues
day night were occupied in the ar
guments of counsel. On Wednes-
day after a clear and elaborate
charge from Judge Gilmer the case
was given to the jury.
The principal points in the case
were that Elias ii. Bryan and wife
had propounded a will OF w. G.
Faucette, and it had been admitted
to probate. Mrs. Emma G.. Moring
entered a caveat of this will on the
ground that there vas a second and
later will of w. G. Faucet, that de-
vised all the property to her and
her children. The issue involved
all the estate OF the late Richardson
Faucette, estimated at twenty OIL
twenty-five thousand dollars.
There was an array of able coun-
SC! on each side. Messrs. Busbee
and Hinsdale of Raleigh, Col. Ed.
wards of Oxford, Mr.. Howe, Mr.
Hurchison and Mr.. London, ap
peared for the propounders of the
first will, which gave the property
to Mrs. Rosa J. Bryan, wife OF Elias
Ii. Bryan. For the propounders o
the second will and cavea,ors o
the first, which would give the estate
to Mrs. Moring, were Col. Fuller o
Raleigh, Major Graham OF Hills
boro, Mr.. Manning of Chapel Hill
and Messrs. Reucher, Womack ant
%ilbert.
The cause was important, the in
terest felt in it by the public wa.
very great, and the lawyers were OF
their mettle. Every inch of grounc
was contested. Many new law

There were four speeches made

Col Thomas Gadlayer, prominent before
the country, as an able supporter of the pro-
hibition ticket, has been for years dyspeptic.
The hard work Of the campaign and forced ir-
regularity Of eating aggravated the disease to
such an extent that his friends seriously feared
that his health had been hopelessly broken
Several days ago physician to whom the
Colonel has great faith was called.
Colonel" said he, dyspepsia is an ex-
tremely difficult disease to handle, and even
if done so successfully the progress of the
cure is almost imperceptibly slow. 1t mainly
depends upon diet. Little help can be ex-
pected from medicine. Follow my advice,
now, and | assure you that much benefit will
be the result. Get you quart of first rate
apple brandy and take tablespoonful imme-
diately after each meal. This is an old rem
edy, and one that when correctly followed has
never failed"

and it becomes great evil"

BY referring TO the agreed statement of
facts and the exhibit annexed it appears that
the assessor added to the valuation Of the
several items of plaintiffs estate the amount of
two mortgages upon tho property described in
the assessment. This is clearly an error. and
could only have been made by singular mis-
understanding Of the language of Section "a of
the general tax act, Chapter XLIII Of the
laws OF 1852, found at p. -l2l of the Compiled
Laws which is as follows-"In respect of the
amount of the money due on such mortgage
he shall pay the tax thereon, which payment
shall be deemed to be 4 payment made by the
mortgagor TO the MORTGAGE on account Of in
terest, or of principal and interest as the case
may be, and all money so paid by mortga-
gor shall be allowed for in the accounts be-
tween the mortgagor and the mortgage"
The intent Of this section is that the tax
upon property shall be paid in full by the
owner thereof, without deduction, as to the
Government, for the amount of the mortgage
upon it, the mortgagor thereafter deducting
the amount which he has paid for account of
the mortgage.
