Mrs. Joe Persons Wash VIII go--GhFsrit
Bilious Cs!g,
a New Departure.

As a family medicine for general use I
consider Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy ahead
of anything / have ever seen we try it
for everything, on man and beast, and
like a good friend, it is always ready to
help us. l was a frequent sufferer from
sever attacks of collie; at such times [
would take a big dose, a wineglass and a
half full, which always gaveme immediate
relief, and its continued use has entirely
cured me of the trouble. Being a farmer,
/ frequently have accidents among my
stock. On n occasion I poured some
of the Wash on a hog which had been
badly bitten and torn by dogs, and the
places were alive with vermin; as soon as
the Wash touched the affected parts the
vermin would leave and there was no
further trouble. / have saved two valu-
able head of stock by an application of
the Wash, and, unlike other things usually
used, it is perfectly painless. l think all
farmers who own stock should try this
great remedy. In such cases, it is worth it's
weight in gold. If all knew the worth
o your Remedy and Wash, I do not think
you could supply the demand.

IVA iAhH ~" ~
Coz. Z. L. PoLK.-Dear S~:-As
was some time since elected CORES
pondent for Swift Creek Alliance, No
745. it is O in order for me to show
my hand.
This Alliance was organized April
9th. 1888, at Burney's x Roads in
Pitt county, N. c., with a membership
of twelve and now has a membership
of ffty-seven, ,
Should one thousand four hundred
ALLIANCES land l think there are that
many in the State( contribute as much
from each Alliance as ours, then the
fund would approximate n hundred
thousand dollars and would be on a
sound financial basis ready for imme-
hiate operations. Brothers, "the sim
avs of war must be furnished If this
enterprise is to succeed. In the defen-
i've fight against the bagglng trust,
wehdid succeed, and this is also purely
q defensive measure on the line OF
Ef~ortifying our camp. You should
bear in mind that this, the first great
undertaking, and if it fails the results
will simply be tremendous. Better
far lose the small amounts subscribed
than to lose your faith in the
order; better anything than failure n
this matter. Besides, we know the
order is good, and 1 am fully satisfied
that this, its first and grandest under
taking, is both good and feasible, for
with it's accomplishment and proper
use, trusts need no longer be a terror
to US, and the other blessings which it
is possible to accomplish by its aid are
too numerous to mention.
Fraternally,
J. T. HELEN.

Tho Watch Dog shot Before tho
f0ttse Is Entered.
Thieves entered the residence Of Ber-
nsrd Bonner, the saloon-keeper at Fifth
aud Sprucs sir cts, some time last night
week, aad they were evidently disturbed
in their operations as their booty was in
consi ieraole After scaling the fence
which enclosas the back part Of the
house, they first dispatched the watch dog,
valuable setter, by sending bullet
crashing through his forehead into the
brain. Then they pried open Kitchen
window, and as the inmates ofthe house all
slept soundiy during the entire proceed
ings, the robbers were evidently unmo-
Tested for o while in their search.
They assembled to the second floor and
entered the bedroom Of Mr.. and MrH
Bonner where they riflsd an unlocked
bureau aud found pocket book con.
tanning $40 belonging to Mrs. Bonner.
This is the only loss discovered by the
Bonners, and the fsctthat the thieves did
not carry of more plunder if regarded as
sufficient evidence that some noise must
have scared them from their work.

SUICIDE BP HAssING.
John Tickfer found Suspended
From a Willow Tree.

John TIckter laborsr employed at
the Lobdell Oar Wheel Company's south
side works, committed suicide about z
.. m. Tnnrsday by hanging himself
to small willow tree within sight of the
works. Tickfer loaded and unloaded
wheels yesterday as he has been doing
uninterruptedly for the past Is or 40
years for the same firm and nothing nm
u,ual was noticed about him. He was
seen about the works as early MS O'Clock
this morning which ia three hours bsfore
his nsuai work time to begin. He then
gavs ons OF the stable hands some keys
which unlocked a small closet left in his
charge. At 6 80 O'Clock, Henry Gindsr,
auother employe, saw him sitting on the
canal bank but beyond bidding him good
morning, he did not pay any attention to
him.
That was the last seen OF him alive.
About o'clock, Thomas Taylor, the
company's farmer, found the lifeless
boty hanging from small willow ,lee
near the canal and several hundred yards
back from the main road.
Tickfef's determination to die was evi.
IDENTIFY very deliberate. He had procured
several yards OF ordinary twins with
Whton DtabS hE6 tiSu up nv tuo WOtAo, huu
this he Ad folded into four thicknesses
and placed around his neck. The ends
he tied around the branch OF am Ill
willow tres several fest from the trunk.
The branch wss not thicker than o
mans wrist where the cord was tied
aud bsnt considerably under the strsic
of the sd mans weight, SO that it was
not over 6ys feet from the ground. After
he hsd carefully arranged these details,
he Deliberately raised his feet by bend
ing his knees until his body was entirely
suspended and thus he strangied himself.
Wnen found his limbs below the knees
were still ri2i lily Sat at right angl.s to
his body and hts knees were just about
touching the ground. The neck was en-
circied by deep furrow made by the
cord Which had almost broken the skin
The body was cut down and removed TO
the morgne. His brother, William Tick
fer, who is employed at Edge Moor, was
notified of the sniside.
The deceased lived with his sister on
Lncu.t street between Eighth aud Taylor.
He waa unmarried aud from so to 55
years Of age. He wss German or Pole
and during his long employment with the
Lobdel Car Wheel Company, he mad j
but few friends. He was tongue tied
which made it very difficult to under
stand his very broken English. He always
manifested taclturn disposition. No
cause can be ascribed for the suicide ex-
| cspt fsom melancholia.

the horses attached to the wagon
were also knocked down. Two women
in the house were stricken down and
stunned by the current. No one, how

the middle of the building and grounded
safely and without damaging the struc-
