Death Of Mrs. John T. Brinkley.

Mrs. Kate e. Brinkley, wife of Mr.
John T. Brinkley. died at her home ir
Scotland Neck, at 2 o'clock Sunday
night August %, 1896.
Deceased was born Nov. IA, 1862
and was therefore forty-three years
nine months and nine days old. She
had been sick for several months and
had had the best treatment possible
having been carried some three months
ago to Johns Hopkins hospital in Bal
timore.
In 1872 she joined the Baptist
church in Murfreesboro while student
in the Chowan Baptist Female Insti-
tute under the late DR.. A. Mcdowell.
On February Is, 1874, she was happily
married to her surviving husband.
The union was blessed with eight chill
rem, two of which died in infancy, leav-
ing two girls and four boys still living.
Deceased leaves also three sisters,
Mesdames DR.. Bryan OF Atlanta, DR.. R.
M. johnson, of Scotland Neck, and
Geo. L. Hancock of this community,
and half brother, Mr.. John. T. How
ell, of Tillery.
The remains were laid to rest in the
Baptist cemetery Monday, Aug. oath,
at 6 o'clock p. m. Her pastor, Rev. r.
T. Vann, being absent on his summer
Rev. J. K. FAINT, of Ahoskie,
whom she and her husband greatly
loved and admired was telegraphed for,
and he came to conduct the burial SER
vice.
From the day she united with the
church to the day of her death no
breath of dlsfavor was ever breathed
against her as consecrated Christian.
Truly of her may it be said, Servant
of God we'll DONE" She lived singu-
larIy pure and beautiful Christian life.
Full of the spirit of overlooking kind
ness to others, no one lives to bear testi-
mony of an unkind feeling which she
towards any one. She has
left her holy impress upon her boys
and girls, which impress bears fruit OF
her own pure and holy life and Of her
influence upon them as her off
spring. Her husbands business being
such as to take him much away from
home, she did her best to train her
children in the way they should go by
lally reading portion of the Script
ares and leading the family circle in
prayer. Truly good woman has pass
ID from amongst us. Her absence will
be telt by all who knew her, and most
oy those who knew her best.
A devoted and loving wife, tender
md careful mother, a helper to the
needy and willing worker in the vine
yard of her Master, her death has left
void in all these relations that none
IAN ever fill. Her Lord said to her,
Come up higher" and now her white
winged soul awaits in the glory land
he loved ones left behind.
The deep sympathy of the entire
goes out to the stricken
husband and bereaved children. Com
them to the good word OF
Gods grace, we heartily JOIN in sympa-
;hy for the sorrowing family and friends
md relatives.
At last the faithful soul fully realizes
The strength OF Gods word which says,
"The Lord Is my shepherd, I shall
not want"

Knights of old-crusaders who went to
conquer the world, could not hope to
succeed unless they were in virile, hearty
health. A man cannot face difficulties If
his stomach isn't in good order. Dis
ordered digestion will make sluggish
coward out of any man. 1t makes his
mind stagnant, and he cannot think
quickly enough to accomplish anything.
It makes his movements slow, and takes
all of the snap out of him. Every naK
in business in America has fight on his
hands Just as much as ever had belted
knight. 1t is matter of life and death,
just the same with him as it was with the
crusader. Indigestion and all the ills
that go with it, most frequently start III
constipation. That keeps all sorts of inn
purities in the body, forces them into the
blood, and so deranges the whole system.
Constipation is one of the conmonest
ills, and to it are traceable most of the
disorders that make people sick. Once
it gets firm hold on man, it is most
difficult to overcome it. Temporary re-
lief can be obtained in thousand ways.
There are medicines on the market that
will help as long as you take them.
There Is only one remedy that is a real
renedy-that you don't have to keep on
taking forever. That Is DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. The "Pellets" are
tiny, sugar-coated granules, mild and
efficient in their action. They effect a
permanent cure. You don't become a
slave to their use, as with other pills.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"

ARRESTED FOR DEFRAUDING.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.-Robert Snowden, who claims ito be a newspa- per man, was arrested last night on changes of felony and embezzlement, preferred by Mrs. Sarah B. Williams, a middle aged widow from Denver, Colo, who said that she met Snowden in that city a few months ago and after a brief acquaintance promised to become his wife. He came to this city and sent for her and they lived awhile at the Palace hotel. SnDwden put off the marriage on one pretext or an- other and meanwhile, the widow says, secured all her money and jewelry. Then he left her and being unable to pay a $90 board bill she was turned out penniless into the world and had to take refuge in a charitable estab- liShment-

AS TO AIR NAVIGATION.

Was it ever intended by the authors of creation that man should navigate the air with as much ease as he tray els over terra firma? If so, the man who inVents an air ship that will be under mans perfect control will bring about a complete change in the affairs of the world It does not require long for man of average ability to depict what wonderful change will take place if somebody solves the problem of aerial navigation.
 It would do away with OUT railroads, steamships, horses, and in fact, every thing we now use for transporting matter from one point ito another. The telegraph has long since proven that the thought of man can be transported almost in the twinkling of an eye to the most distant parts of the world,
 
 established what will be the result :? l The north and south pole would then no longer be difficult to discover. In a few hours or a few days at least ! every portion of the globe could be explored with ease.
 A squadron of air ships could be | loaded with dynamite bombs and de- stroy city after city and warfare would be transferred ito the clouds, as it were, instead of on the earth's sur face. Man would then compete with the birds for the right of way in the air and the sun would frequently be obscured from the view of the people on earth by a big excursion in air ships
 The bicycle would have to go and a lover could put a notice in the news 1 papers notifying the object of his af- | fections to meet him half mile above I the steeple of the town hall. He could also soar over town at night and an. chor himself at the window of his besd girl without fear of detection and safe from the pursuit of the watcf dog.
 1 Considering all of these facts, hat not man better let the problem O. aerial navigation alone? Man has got ten along for countless ages in tht world without navigating the air ana he can no doubt exist for ages to colmt without monopolizing that portion O
 the universe which belongs to thu birds. Let the eagle soar on high ana whet his forked beak, but let man re main close to 0lis mother earth.

Constipation is usually habit of the body induced by prolonged inattention to the calls of nature It is a condi- tion so perilous to the general health, that it should be relieved as speedily, but judiciously, as possible. People who have allowed themselves to be- come costive and irregular usually try to remedy the evil by the use of violent purgatives, and the result is that the bowels become weakened and the dis order all the more difficult of cure. The medicine best calculated to pro- duce natural movement and at the same time to strengthen the bowels, is Ayers Pills. When taken according to directions, the result is always bene- ficial. A few doses gently stimulate the bowels to healthy action, restore their lost tone, and promote easy evac- nations. No other pill SO well supplies the demand of the general public for a safe, certain, and agreeable family medicine. Physicians recommend them. They received the highest awards of the Chicago Worlds Fair Commissioners

A MEXICAN AUTHORITY.

l The Monterey, Mexico, Enterprise publishes the following editorial: "Hary R. WoodaN of Norfolk, Neb., encloses two column letter from a St. Louis paper on prices in Mon terey. wondering whether this country Is in a hard row of stumps, but he sa- gaciously notices that it is the import ed and not the Mexican goods chiefly that are dligh. We answer MT. Wood alrs queries by sending him few back numbers and adding: Duties in Mexican silver are collected on most of the imported articles.
 ''Tlhis country is not in hard row of stumps unless it always was.
 Some of the prices given are too high. The olive oil is 5 cents, not $1, at the store for a small bottle of French. Coffee is 37 cents. It was worth 30 cents twenty-five years ago. "Dhere is lot of nonsense in Amer jean papers about living here, but still American laborers should not come here to compete with Mexicans. At no time in the past were Mexicans' wages near equal to Americans What lhas this to do with silver and gold? Let them contemplate going to Ger many to compete with workmen there. America and Germany both have the gold standard. Freight and duty and small de- mand for canned goods would teach o,lr correspondent not to look for fortune in the business in country like this, supplied with native fruits, not canned. A few Americans, most of whom are making plenty of money, will of course buy just what they are accustomed to. This is the size of the racket:
 ''There must be some sale for canned milk as we see it on grocers' shelves at 50 cents a can, but where is the neces- sity when we get fresh cows milk at IS cents quart delivered in the city. If America were doing well would the people there be worrying about things in another country? How did the highly paid American consent to accept the European money standard knowing hhat wages were always lower in Europe? Now with prices run down there are SO many out of work 1t seems that their wages are next to go down to European standard and thousands of them are looking about for some place to get out. Mexico may be backward, peopled by cheap Indian labOrers and all that, but it is a might fly suspicious circumstance that SC many American workingmen and tramps are casting about to get here or nyWhere out from under the bless. ings of the gold standard and do no seek other gold standard countries.
 'In the newspaper correspondence alluded to there is reference to worry over fluctuations. We can state tha such fluctuations operate against American business with this country The things we must import are no all we do import. There is no sucf worry in dealing with points in Mex ico. for Mexican products, as here ou
