CATARRH,

Home Treatment.

Catarrhal DenlhesAy nay rcbcr-A NeW
Home Treatment.
-Chrlstian Advocate.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that
they are due to the presence of living
parasites in the lining membrane of the
nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic
research, however, has proved this to be
q fact, and the result OF this discovery is
that simple remedy has been formu-
lated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deaf
ness and hay fever are permanently
cured In from one TO three simple appli-
cations, made at home by the patient
once In two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment Ia not a snuff
or an ointment; both have been discarded
by reputable physicians as injurious. A
pamphlet explaining this new treatment
is sent FREQ on receipt of stamp to pay
postage by A. H. Dixon & Son, 3S7 aud

The Barber Dyed His Skin.
[Ffom the Charlotte Ne,cs.]


Mr.. G. w. Paris came to the city
today to get spruced up for his mar
riage. He had white mustache and
when he went to the barber shop he
thought it would make him look
younger and more presentable to have
it dyed. The barber hadn't voted the
prohibition ticket in some time, and
the result was that he not only dyed
the moustache, but put a lot of big
black blotches all over Mr.. Paris face.
Mr.. Paris, when be viewed his guinea
egg countenance in the glass, was fu-
rious, and at once consulted lawyer
in regard to suing the barber for dam
ages. The lawyer said: See here,
Mr.. Paris, if you take this thing to
court the newspapers will get hold OF
it and make a big thing ont Of it. y
.That's SC" said Mr.. Paris, after re-
hecting q moment, "and 1 believe /
will let it Drop" And he finally
went back home to claim his bride, dye
or no dye.

Col. Folks Argument.
From Ne,o York Herald.1

Col. l.. L. Polk, president of the
National Farmers Alliance, read a
long argument Wednesday befor the
Senate Committee on agriculture and
forestry in favor of Senator Vance's
bill to provide for a system of ware.
houses for farm produce throughout
the country, to be operated by the
government, which is to issue its notes
upon deposit of grain therein. He
sketched the decline in agricultural
values in the face of marvellous pro.
gress and development of other indus
tries and interests during the past two
decades and insisted that something
should be done for the farmer. He
charged the fault upon the financial
system Of the government which had
resulted IN high priced money and low
priced products. The remedy Col.
Polk suggested was threefold:
/. Restore silver to its dignity and
place rs money metal, with all the
rights of coinage aud all the qualities
of legal tender which gold possesses.
2. Issue sufficient amount of curren-
cy direct to the people, at a low rate
of interest, to meet the legitimate de-
mands Of the business Of the country,
and which shall be legal tender for
all debt, public and private.
8. Secure to such issue equal digni.
ty with the money metals, by basinx
it on real, tangible, substantial values.

ROANOKE & SOUTHERN,
EFFORTS OF SEVERAL LIVE TOWNS
TO SECURE THE PRIZE


Point All Want the Southern Extension
to Pass Through Their Limits.
One of the greatest enterprises that
North Carolina pluck and cash are
putting through today is the Roanoke
& Southern r. R., which is being
built from Winston-Salem to Roanoke
City, Va.
The inception Of this road began
with the citizens of Roanoke and Win
ston.Salem, and the larger part of
the money which has already been
spent in its construction came from
the pockets of Winston Salem's patri.
otic citizens.
More than halt the work on the one
hundred and seventeen miles of road
between Winston Salem and Roanoke
has been done, and large force of la
borers are now pushing the road to-
wards Roanoke as fast as money and
muscle can do it.
At the meeting of the stockholders
of the Va. & N. c. Construction Co.
(whoi are building the road), held in
Winston a few days ago, the capital
stock was increased to 100000.
This was evidence Of two things.
First, that the road to Roanoke will
be put through as quickly as possible,
and, second, that the road will go
South from Winston at a" early day
When the road is completed to Roa-
-noke, Winston-Salem an towns along
the line will have quick transporta
tion to northern markets.
When it goes South, it is the inten-
ton. Of its builders to push it to some
large town from which it will be pos
sible to send freights over some road
in competition with the R. & D. r. R.,
