The tax bill will again be taken up

every reason to believe it will be de.

ruin Wilmington, as men who now
hold mortgages will certainly foreclose
them and invest their money some
where else. The Legislature can On.
act oil the laws they please, but there
will be some one found who will find
way to escape its provisions. Con-
sequently the borrower will, il the bill
becomes a law. have the tax to pay
eventually. The entire business EN-.

Fulton. the man who when the act
was passed re-incorporating the town

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal. enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
q Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,

GOOD NIGHT"
Deep and Tender Meaning Has This
Often Used Expression.

Deep and Tender Meaning Has This
Often Used Expression.
There Is tender sweetness about
some of our common phrases OF affec-
tionate greeting, simple and unobtru-
sive as they are, which falls like dew
upon the heart. Good night" The
little one lisps 1t as, gowned in white,
with shining face and hands, with
prayers said, she toddles off to bed.
Sisters and brothers exchange the wish,
parents and children. friends and friends.
Familiar use has robbed it Of it's full
significance. We repeat it automati-
cally. But consider. We are as voy-
ayers, putting of from time to time upon
an unknown sea. Our barks Of life set
sail and go on into the darkness; and
we. asleep on our pillows, take no such
care as we do when awake and Journey
ing by daylight. OF the perils Of the
night, whatever they may be, we take
no heed. An unsleeping vigilance
watches over us; but it is the vigilance
of One stronger, wiser than we, who is
the eternal good. Good and God spring
from the same root and have the same
meaning. "Good-by" is only God be
with you" Good nighJ" is really God
light, or God guard the night" 1t
would be churlish household In which
those gentle forms of speech were iR-
nored or did not exist. Alike the happy
and the sorrowful day by day may say
as the shadows fall towards twilight,
Good night.

He Needed First-Class Samples,

1t was not hobby line of samples the
old Cincinnati drummer carried; Just a
modest assortment, suited to the hum
bier class of buyers and the men who
do not put on style. And when the
spruce, danditied Louisville drummer
passed the side counter where the plain,
unpretentious goods were displayed, he
turned contemptuously aside, looked at
them with sneer, not recognizing in
the hite-haired stranger the salesman
travelling with the aforesaid goods, and
said.
If / couldn't carry first-class line
of samples would carry none at all. !"
Quick as a flash the white haired
stranger turned, and you are right,
sir, said he, you are right
The drummer from Louisville turned
a little superciliously around in the
pride Of his new spring suit and metro
politan polish.
Think so?" said he, patronizingly.
yes, replied the stranger, as he
booked the merchants order, you are
right, sir. 1t would take first-class
samples"
The Louisville drummer smiled.
To make that face Of yours pass cur
rent.
The drummer didn't wait to show his
goods.

The area of the United States, ex-
elusive of Alaska, is 100000 square
miles. Over 100 surveyors are now en-
ployed in surveying and preparing maps
of the country, and about one-fifth OF
the whole area has already been sur
veyed during the ten years in which the
work has been in progress. About 60,
900 square miles are annually surveyed,
and it is estimated that it will require
forty years more to complete the map.
