The ONCE Rented and All Arrangements
Have Been Perfected for the
Business of 1t.
The Postal Telegraph company will
strike the town on Wednesday.
The wire is stretched as far as Nelson
and eighteen men are bringing it into
Durham.
Mr.. Hughes who is experimenting the
work and who is manager of the Raleigh
Office says that the business will start off
in blaze of glory on Wednesday about
1 o'clock
The office will be in the store room of
the Durham Furniture company-near
the hotel and only two doors from the
Western Union.
J. p. Conrad, of Richmond, will have
charge of the Durham office and will
bring his family here this week.
The Postal claims Speed as their motto,
and will get much work to do. We un-
derstand that inasmuch as the Western
Union strikes so many towns not now
reached by the Postal that the Western
Union will have business to keep one
operator busy as heretofore We are
glad TO welcome the Postal and all other
enterprises which seek foothold in Dur
ham and we know that our people will
extend to it a good patronage.

LOOK AFTER THEM
Three Children Who Are in DeSti-
tute Circumstances.
One Of Them Has a Broken Leg and
Cannot Work.
CHANCE FOR CHARITY TO ACT
Mr.. William Smith Says That He Cannot
Longer Board Them for
Nothing.

There is case at East Durham which
needs looking after, and which those
charitably inclined may study with profit.
Three children-two girls and a boy,
have been working al the knitting mills
The boy had the misfortune some time
back to break his leg, or it was broken
while he was at work. One of his sisters
perhaps not doing much work is now at
tending her brother The other sister is
not working and three of them are at
Mr.. William Smiths. Their name is
Lancaster. Mr.. Smith cannot afford to
keep them. They owe him board, and
they are in really destitute circum-
stances. Mr.. Howell informs US that
they have been turned over to the county,
by DR.. Johnson, but Mr.. Smith claims
that he has heard nothing of it,
The children are from Virginia and
something should be done concerning
them. 1t will be some time before the
boys leg gets well, and in the meantime
Mr.. Smith cannot afford to board the
three of them for nothing.

Mr.. j. F. Soldering, of Akron, Ohio,
has purchased in Haywood county $4,000
acres of land, the James r. Love estate,
paying for the same 81 87t per acre. We
are glad to see northern men investing
in southern dirt.
People who are talking about want
ing a house to rent, should ring off until
they look at the Leary house, on Cleve-
land street. Il is one of the best houses
in town which can be rented, and the
rent is cheap-the house considered. See
G. c. Taylor or A. E. Lloyd, and they
will tell you about it. We notice that it
is vacant, and we know that some one
can rent it.
The Durham ice factory is now turn
ing out an article equal to any river ice
ever brought to the city and is selling it
cheaper than ice has ever been sold in
Durham. 1t being a matter Of personal
economy as well as of loyalty to the
town, Durham people should see that
this particular home institution receives
the patronage due it. Mr.. Arnold knows
his business thoroughly and is giving his
customers ice that is pure and clean, and
at price which all can afford.
Postmaster Albright has received a
communication from Postmaster Gen
eral Bissell, stating that there will be
established in the government buildings
on the Worlds fair grounds branch of
the Chicago postoffice, which will con-
tinue during the entire period of the
fair This branch Office will be for the
benefit of persons who do not know
when leaving their homes the precise To-
cation of the Chicago office. This office
is to do all the business of first class
pOstoffice. Mail matter intended for de-
livery at this office should be addressed ::
"World's Fair Station, Chicago, ILL.,"
While all the complaints are going
on about the city water, many people
are forced to use it. That Is to say, when
the water works were completed, wells
were allowed to fill up and go to ruin.
Accordingly, some people insist that the
water company should put in a filter.
But the company has not acted. To day
we noticed a newfangled apparatus in
the stove and tin store of Col. Charley
| Taylor, on Main street. 1t is the Gate
City Filter-and it does its work we'll. 1t
will purify and clarity any water you
put in it.-This novel and in this town
almost indispensable filter is selling at a
low price and is within the reach of all
In passing his store just drop in and
have Mr.. Taylor show you how it works
and then, if satisfied that it does the
/ business, let him name you his prices
/ 1t is worth looking at, especially if you
use city water.

and cnQuring Of him as to the particu
lar, Of his wife's death, was surprised to
learn that she was not dead at all, though
3. present confined to her room.
The case, however, is a peculiar one.
I, appear that Mrs BrOckwell rose at
rlc usual hour and went about her duties;
that She did not complain Of sickness and
nothing out Of the common was noticed
by the family. She did not eat brcakfa asst
with the rest, but busted herself mean
time in liking a lunch Tor her husband,
vino works in the Duke factory and does
not come home to dinner.
When the others were through, she sat
DOWN and commenced eating, when she
suddenly fell over and was to ali appear
ances dead She remained in this cOnd;-
ton for some time, and the report was
generally circulated that she was dead.
On returning TO consciousness she
failed to remember anything that had
happened on the morning of the attack
and has not since been able to locate her.

rived from your great and wonderful medicine

from sCrOfula, or some blood disease which
had lain dormant all her life: We had atte ntion
from some of the most skillful ply Sicians in
SrR0FNT,A the country. but all TO no
0OnU4 OAA effect, until we had all de-
SPARED of her recovery. Her mouth was
solid ulcer and for two months or more her
body was broken out with sores until she lost
a beautiful head of hair. also her eye-lashes
and eye brUws. In fact she seemed TO be
complete wreck. Now comes the great secret
which want all the world 70 know, and that
is that three bottles of Blood Balm medicine
has done the work, which would sound incred-
ible TO any one who did not know il TO be so.
To day my wife is perfectly healthy and clear
from any scrofulous taint, and she now has
3monrhS-old babe also perfectly healthy.
Very respectfully,

Rose, Mrs. Degraw.

After an experience Of one season in
testing the various merits of this appar-
emily new everblooming rose, feel fully
warranted in recommending it for
more general cultivation. Having re-
ceived a small specimen of this variety
through the mail early in May last, |
proceeded at once to transplant it to
rich but compact soil in the garden.
soon found it to be endowed with great
vigor and tenacity of life-putting forth
almost as rapid growth in dry as in
moist weather.
As result of my la bors in it's behalf,
it prod uced four specimens in June, two
in July, and three in August. Flowers
are ordinarily double and attractive in
appearance, two inches or more in dl-
ameter, and of tolerably deep red color
From the gratifying results thus early
obtained 7 am confident that by the lapse
of years it will become quite cOnSplcu-
Gus object if we'll cared for, besides keep
ing up a succession of bloom for the
space of several months. In addition to
its many good points that render it "a
thing of beauty" it is likewise delight
fully fragrant.
BY reason of its tendency to retain its
foliage the year round, | was led to re-
gard it as a Hybrid Perpetual, but have
recently learned that it is classed as
Bourbon. JOSHUA MORRIS.

A Beautiful Cactus.

cannot give the botanical name of
my cactus, but think | can describe it
so many will know to what variety it
belongs 1t is night bloomer and has
long, fiat leaves with cOrd-like veins
from which new leaves put out. The
plant is grown from one of these leaves,
and when we'll rooted cane-like shoot
puts up. On its first appearance the shoot
is a delicate brownish- red, then turns to a
dark green; and from it more leaves
come.
My plant is six years old, and com
menced blooming the second year.
Last year it had fifteen flowers out at
one time, and has bloOmed different
months For good sized plant get a
butter firkin, have several anger holes
bored in the bottom, as well as one
or two i'm the sides, for air and drainage;
and mix the soil we'll with fertilizer from
the hen hOuSe-if well rOtted all the bet
ter. When ready to set the plant look
around for charcoal where stumpS have
been burnt. Cover the bottom Of the
firkin with the charcoal, and broken
brick if you can get it, as it keeps the
holes from filing up, and if the plant
gets too much water it can easily run
off. 1t is well known cacti will not
take much water without injury tot hem.
One good Wetting q week is all it needs.
When set the earth should be packed

with pieces Of board underline tub so the
air can pass under it. | don't think
anyone who will follow this mode of car
