Are You Married?

Nature intended that all human beings should mate as soon as they reached the age of maturity, but un- fortunately society, custom and sur roundings have willed it otherwise. However, should nature have it's course, some communities are so small that it IS impossible te mate its young people satisfactorily, and they are forced to pass down the river of life forgotten and alone. A happy thought was the formation of the Affinity Publishing Company, of Scranton, Pa. They are issuing a high class matrimonial journal which is widely endorsed. Its ob- ject is to bring kindred souls to- gether by means of correspondence, and no doubt the result will be a number of happy marriages. Sam pie copies of the journal can be ob tained for ten cents by addressing AFFINITY, Scranton, Pa.

A tired stomach is very much like a sprained ankle. Ifyou suf- fer from any of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stomach is tired. It needs a crutch. We must releive It of all work for g time, CT until it is restored to it's natural strength. To do this successfully. we must use a food which is already dlgested outside of the body, and which will aId the digestion of other foods that may be taken with it. Such a pro- duct is the Shaker Digestive Cor dial.

LEASE OF THE NORTH CARROLL
M RAILROAD.

At Burlington last Friday the Board
of Directors Of the North Carolina Rail
road effected lease OF the road to the
Southern Railway Company for ninety
nine wears. The terms are 81 per cent.
for The next six years and Z per cent.
for the next nincty-three years
This transaction is regarded by the
majority Of the people Of the State, re-
gardless Of party or politics, as crime
against the State.
The present lease will hold for six
wears longer. and the directors OF the
road have thus entered into a contract
long before there was any necessity.
Indeed it was none OF their nights to
overstep their duty in binding the
State IN a contract for so long time
when their own term Of office VIII ex-
pire before the present lease will ex-
pire.
tory Of North Carolina hundred years,
it is striklngly strange that a Board OF
Directors should presume to know now
what will be the States interests even
fifty wears from now. much less for the
whole stretch Of a century. The changes
that will necessarily take place under
the march Of progress for the next half
century will be very different thing
to the State then from what it is now.
And to say nothing about these
things. It was not right for these dlrec-
tors to dispose of the property as they
did when the people of the whole State
opposed it. Almost every newspaper
in the State regardless of its politics,
spoke out against the transaction be-
fore it was made.
Mr.. S. b. Alexander, one OF the dl-
rectors has all the while been in favor
Of government ownership Of railroads,
but his action in this matter does not
show him to be consistent.
| It is thought by many that the lease
will not stand II may be a source OF
| much trouble to the State and the dl-
rectors.

HOME AND ABROAD.

1t is the duty of everyone, whether
at home or travelling for pleasure or
business, to equip himself with the
remedy which will keep up strength
and prevent illness, and cure such ills
as are liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance, Hoods Sarsa-
parllla as a general tonic, and to keep
the blood pure and less liable to absorb
the germs of disease, Will be we'll nigh
invaluable. Change of drinking water
often causes serious trouble, especially
II one has been used TO spring water in
the country. From a few drops to a
teaspoonful of Hoods Sarsaparilla in a
ttlmbler OF water will prevent the wa
ter having any injurious effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as a cathar-
tic, cause no discomfort, nor disturb
ance, no loss Of sleep, but assist the d.
gestlve organs, so that satisfactory re-
suits are effected IN a natural and reg
ular manner.

WILLIAMSON. y. c., Aug. II, %.
On Thursday evening. August ID,
the age, youth and beauty Of William
ston assembled in the spacious and
artistic parlors Of Col. Wilson g. Lamb
to witness a number Of tableau scenes
that were original and interesting, beau
tiful and attractive, profitable and In
spirng.
All the beauty and poetical inspiration
that music, art and sculpture lend to
an enchanted eye was presented IN
pantonimic grandeur All the sentl-
mentalism Of idle Love- the viclssl-
tudes and marvellous development Of
Cupld's art, and the Bliss Of a Perfect
Welded Life we're exce]lently display
ed IN Dame Natures vernacular.
The -Four Seasons" with their va
ried and ever changing hues were pre-
sented in living pictures that were
indicative Of the continued round OF
happiness, peace and Joy, and the whole
interrningled with dread sorrow.
Nor were the tragedians unconscious
that their audience possessed a faculty
tor the ludlcrous, thus they lnterpolat-
ed the exercises with wit and humOr
TO check the progress Of pathetic tear
| And the twentieth century woman was
alive to and demanded her rights, while
the husband stopped in grace over the
wash tub in hated animosity.
Miss Della Lambs rendition OF The
| Flower Girl" touched the sympathles
of the entire and approaching audience
which gave vent to added applause and
called forth again and again the elOcu-
ZIONIST, who returned and favored them
with a comic selection, "HOW Old Nose
Counted the Eggs" Miss Della dis
played proficiency IN that the rareSt
and nobest Of the fine arts.
The comedy error, entitled "Chrs-
tan Anthems" was so we'll rendered
that Misses Virginia and Della Lamb,
Miss Moore and Messrs. Haughton and
Herrick merit especial mention for
their ability in the comedians art.
This, with a number of vocal and
instrumental selections by the male
orchestra, and "Au Revoir, but not
Goodbye" by those who participated
in the performance, closed an eventtul
and long to be remembered evening set
apart in honor of Miss Mae Wood of
Elizabeth City and other visiting
friends. Bill SNETTZER.

MINISTES RANSOM.

Minister RansOm's office was declar-
ed vacant last Friday. His incum-
bency was declared to be contrary to
the Federal Constitution. 1t was sent
out from Washington that the decision
Of the acting Attorney General was based
on question raised by Auditor Hell
comb as to the legality Of Mr. Ransom s
appointment to the Mexican mission
in view of the existence of Section 9.
Article 8 of the Constitution, which
says:
mo Senator or Representative shall,
during the time for which he was elect
ed, be appointed to any civil office I'M
der the authority of the United States,
which shall have been created, or the
emoluments whereof shall have been
increased during such time"
Something was said about this clause
when Senator Ransom was appointed.
but it was passed over informally until
Auditor Holcomb of the Treasury De-
paTtment declined 10 pass faVOrabIV
upon Mr.. Ransom's vouchers for his
salary and expenses.
Minister Ransom was a member of
the Senate when he was nominated by
the President for the Mexican mission
His term OF office had about expired,
but he was nominated and the nominal
ton confirmed before his term expired.
Then, the salary of the minister to
Mexico was raised from $l2 800 so ST.
800 during Mr.. Ransom's term In the
Senate. So his appointment was dou-
bly, nullified by the section Of the Con
stltution referred to.
1t has been sent out from Washing
ton that Mr.. Ransom will be re-ap-
pointed, and on this assurance he is
making preparation to return to Next
co about the first Of September.
