"MEN's evil manners live in
brass. ."--SHAKsPEARE.
THERE is considerable talk
about the spot on the suns
face, and astronomers are in
tensely interested. There are
no spots on this Sun, we will
say by way of of parenthesis.
The only one it tdesires TO see up
on it is the "spot cash.
| For fear that our Congress
men have forgotten it, we call
| their attention to Durham's
Federal building bill, which
was reportsd to a COM
mittee. We hope it will
see daylight again. Bring it
out, gentlemen.
TYPHUs fever is raging and
spreading in New York City to
an alarming extent and threat
ems to become an epidemic.
EIghty-five cases are now in
the hospital, and two ship loads
of Hebrew emigrants were
quarantined Tuesday morning.
| SING it along down the line
| Durham is to have, in the near
future, a new and model hotel,
which will make you feel good
all over when you see IL. The
determination of Col. }. S. Carr
is favorably and enthusiastic-
ally commented upon on all
sides. 1t has already made
Durham step up higher.
WINSTON does the correct
thing. When suspicious char
acters are seen about her streets
they are arrested, an iIIgestiga
tion had, and if good Acasons
are not given of their vocation
they are fined for vagrancy.
This action has a tendency to
weed out some very annoying
nuisances. y
THERE are a good many rag
ged and dilapidated signs about
Durham, which, il they were
taken down, or replaced with
new ones, would add greatly to
the appearance of the town.
| Attractive towns and houses
draw people as much as any
thing else. By the use of a
little paint or whitewRsh this
spring, throughout the town,
Durham would be wonderfully
improved.
THERE arc three E!ndq CT
grip-neryeus, catarrhal and
gastric-and each kind is mean
er than the others. Forty pei
cent. of the catarrhal grips end
in pneumonia. IL you have
nervous grip you will want to
commit suicide with the blues.
If you have gastric grip you
will wish you were dead forty
times a day. This is all tht
material points of difference be
tween the various kinds of thi:
despicabls la grippe!
Il INDICATIONS in Louisian:
