is among the most distressing and disgusting
ills the flesh is heir to, and the reeorcs show
very few or no cases of radical cure of chronic
catarrh by any of the multitude OF modes of
treatment until the introdu ction of Ely's Cream

pecially in the first, when they piled up seven
runs; fye earned; In the second San Diego
were unable to score any more until the ninth,
when they scored four. By that time, however,
the Los Angeles team had too big lead for the
locals to overcome. In the fourth Goldie, at

knocked him out as effectually as Sullivan

We have been surprised at the IN
difference Of some who ought to be
in hearty sympathy with the work
We have heard no objection, how
ever. to the work further than what
the Mars i Observer said about the
Roanoke lands being "too RIGA to
cultivate"
We publish on this page com
munlcation to the State ChJolticlc
concerning these lands, and hope
that it will be read carefully. II is
true that this work will require some
money; but with the proper manages
meat Of the matter it can be success
fully prosecuted TO completion. The
question Of feeding and guarding
the convlcts will come up of course,
when there is a bill passed allowing
the counties in question to use
their conyicts On the river; but that
can he properly provided for.
We are glad to see the iatcrest
general in Halifax, Northampton
and Berthe.
Let cur primary conventions send
delegates to the county CONVEX ions
that are in sympathy with the work.
Then let it be q matter of great care
that these counties along Roanoke

Legislature that will work for this
measure With an unflinching energy.

that be will satisfy them equally as

REPRESENT SCOTLAND NECK,
PALMYRA AND R0SENEATH

Mr.. EDITOR The townships of
Scotland Neck, Palmyra and Rose
meath badly feel the need of a
representative on the Board Of Com,
missiouers of the county.
This large section Of the county
needs some one to whom the citizens
can apply to attend to such matters
as they may have before the Board
without the necessity of personal at
tendance. The citizens have many
matters to come before the hoard,
and, when they have a representative
Oh the Board from this section, they
can come to him, instead Of taking
a long trip to Halifax. Sine Dr..
Woods resignation, we have heard
many complaints from all classes of
our people of the inconvenience they
are now subjected to, ana We trust
that the Board Of Justices will give
us man from this section.
We know of no better msn than
Mr.. A. A. White, familiarly called
"uld man Gus" He will fill the
bill in every respect, and ge hope
ali of the Justices in this section
will 60 to Halifax next Monday and
ask their brethren to give IS rep

that representative be Mr.. White.

Caring for the Lamp.

From the Boston Advertiser.
With the return Of the lamp to fashionable
society has come. in some of the great cities. a
new occupation for intelligent women. The
average servant does not understand the man.
agement Of the beautiful and somewhat intri-
cate lamps which are now seen in every WELL
furnished house. She will break the elegantly
decorated globe or bedaub with oil the deli
cate silk shade. She will spoil the thread by
wrenching with her untutored hands. She will
put in q wick too small and provoke an explo-
sion or will crowd in a wick too large and clog
the delicate wheels. She will leave them untitled
at a critical time or she will fill them while stand
ing in their places upon the library table and
perfume the table scarf with the surplus oil. She
will do everything that she should not do ana
leave undone much that should be done. All
this trouble has given place to the professional
artist, who knows and appreciates the artistic
excellence Of the elegant lamp and cares for il
as il should be cared for. She is, in MANY
cases, one .'who has seen better days. and who
10 obliged to resort to some honorable occupa-
ton for a livelihood. She contracts with pri-
vate families to care for their psrlor lamps by
the week or by the month, and she comes daily,
or a. often ss is necessary, to perform her task.
She has studied lamps as carefully as the vete-
rinarian. has studied horses, and she under
stands all their ailments and oil their needs
and requirements, and those who put their
lamps in her charge are sure to fnd them
always shining and always trimmed. il, like
those Of the wise virgins, they are not always
burning.
