R~OLESVILLE, N. G.
Wake County Alliance met with
l.. L. Polk Alliance, April 9th, with a
good representation. Some of the Subs.
seemed to have taken on new life. The
most Of the day was devoted to bust
ness of the Alliance.
Steps were taken looking to a can
vass of the county by some one we'll
versed in the Alliance principles and
we'll suited for the work.
Bro. Ivey, S. B. A. was present at
the meeting and gave an interesting
account of matters at Alliance head
quarters. The tanning plant soon to
be put in operation at our Alliance
"Hcme" was especially emphasized.
The County Alliance seems to always
to be welcome wherever it's meetings
are held, but nothing seems to have
surpassed the reception and welcome
by the L L. Polk Alliance and the A.
& M. College at which place the meet
ing was held. We were received with
open doors and hearts by the President
and Faculty. The fact is, we feel that
VI cannot appreciate their kindness
enough.
After the business of the morning the
Alliance adj burned for dinner, and
0, my-what a dinner! and o, what
eating! When dinner was overland
it took a long time to do justice by such
q d~inner-we were shown around to
the various apartments of the college.
During the recess, we had the pleas
ure of hearing our State President,
DR.. @. Thompson in a thirty minutes
speech.
The Meeting of the County Alliance
with the L. L. Polk Alliance at the
A, & M. College, will long linger in our
minds.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
ReSOIU2d, That the thanks of this
County Alliance are hereby rendered
to the brethren Of L L. Polk Alliance
and the A & M. College for their gen.
erous hospitality during this session,
and that our brethren be requested to
visit and acquaint themselves with the
workings of the A. & NJ. College.

WONDERFUL FRATS Of HORSE
MANSHIP.

1t is related of a prominent citizen of
Arizona that he once met a prominent
citizen of Montana on the neutral
ground of Colorado. The s Inject of
bucking horses coming up, the promi
nent citizen of Arizona said:
I'VE have some very skillful riders
down in our country. This Of course
shows out particularly when they are
breaking wild bronchos to ride. When
an Infatuated mustang, saddled for the
first time, and rearing and bucking
with all the terrific energy of it's savage
nature looks up out of the tail of its
eye and watches it's rider calmly roll
and light q cigarette, it has an excel
lent effect on it, and usually it cools
down, realizing the hopelessness of it's
task"
Then spoke the prominent citizen of
Montana:
THAT will do very we'll, I dare say,
for the comparatively mild and inoffen
sive horse of your southern latitude,
but it has been found to have no in1u
ence whatever on our fierce and vicious
beasts. But when one of our cowboys
mounts a broncho for the first time it
helps to subdue the creature when,
after it has leaped and pitched for fit
teen minutes, it happens to glance back
and finds it's rider quietly shaving,
holding q small mirror in one hand and
the razor in the other, with the mug,
hot water, and bay rum in a little bas
ket on his arm. All, it's all in know
ing how, this subjugating a Montana
broncho!'
Then the meeting of prominent citi
adjourned Field ano Farm.

Part of the lack of success in grow
ing the ounce is owing to the lack of
pruning which this tree receives. Very
often it's pruning is entirely neglected
The tree is much more certain to be
productive if trained to & single stem
and its weaker shoots are cut out
every spring where they grow too close
together. A Well pruned ounce tree,
with it's mass of pink and white bios
SONS, is a beautiful sight in spring, and
when covered with golden fruit III fall
is still more beautiful.

YOU GAVE ME- A ROSE.

BY E. NEWLIN STOUT.
You gave me a T Sc one fair day
As 1 went to battle with IL e world,
The sky was blue the month was May,
And the sun his beauties unfurled.
The earth seemed then a faiIy land,
With p.enteOue pleasures rife;
But now a hopeless " week, [ stand
Bereft Of all but life.
I bring you a lilly, white, to-day
To place upon yOur grave
ALL Time has surely taken away
Too much for what it gave.
1t gave life's burdt rs hard to bear
A few short years of strife.
And took the fairest of the fair,
Ny we'll beloved wife.

Paine's celery compound is especially val
liable for recruiting the strength aud spent
energies of men and women advanced in
years. 1t is the one preparation considered
worth the name of a true nerve food and
blood remedy by physicians throughout the
country 1t is prescribed by them in every
state in the Union to tone up the system,
regulates the nerves and restores health and
strength.
Nothing in the past has ever approached il
in powe2 OF building up weakened nerve
tissues and giving strength to the tired body
In severe cases of persistent headaches, dys
pepsia, neuralgia and slecplessness, due tC
nervous feebleness, Paine's celery compound
has a record of rapid and lasting cures that
embraces every city and town in the wide
sweep of the United States,
Its remarkable power over disease lies il
its active replacing of worn-out parts by
new healthy ones, and in its healing anC
purifying action among the most minute
tissues of the body. 1t searches out the
weak parts at once and sets to work to built
them up. The tired body feels the strength
ing effects of Paine's celery compound forth

Give the nerves a chance to recover, anC
the entire body will regain its health anC
strength. Take Paine's celery compound.

1t should not be necessary to inform people
that the kitchen water-back may be very
dangerous piece of the household economy,
but the frequency with which accidents are
caused by it in freezing weather shows that
many persons either do not know this OF
never think of it. The water-back is simply
a steam boiler-on small scale, it is true,
but still large enough to do great mischief
With perfect connection between it and the
system of water pipes it can do no harm, but
when that connection is cut off by the freez-
ing of the water pipes, which is apt to occur
when the range fire is allowed to go out on a
cold night, the effect is the same as sealing
up a boiler. When the fire is rekindled an
explosion follows. This is why so many

BIG FIRE AT MAHANoY CITY.
Eight Dwellings Destroyed in the Western
Limits of the Town.
Special 20 EVENING HERALD

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
MAHANoY CITY, Jan 11.-Shortly before
midnight fire broke out on West Centre
street that threatened to become q very dis
astrous one, but vigorous and faithful work
on the part Of the fire department eventually
stayed the flames and many houses that ap-
peared to be doomed at first were saved. As
it is, eight dwellings are in ashes and two
others are badly damaged. That the fire
proved so disastrous was due to occupants of
the house where the fire started neglecting
to give an alarm. They turned their entire
attention to removing their effects. When
the fire companies reached the scene the en-
tire building was ablaze.
The scene of the fire was in the extreme
western limits of the town, on the north
side of Centre street. The flames started at
about 11:30 o'clock in a shanty at the rear of
No. 615, house owned and occupied by John
Kovell Nearly all the residents of the
vicinity had retired and were aroused by the
noise made by the removal of effects from
Kovell's house. The fire had already at
taincd much Roadway. The flames spread
rapidly east and west on the north side of
the street and destroyed Nos 500 and Gil,
owned by John Dolphin Esq; 613 and 615,
owned by John and Mike KUvell; 617 and $40,
owned by Dennis Whalen, and 621 and 623,
owned by Mrs, DonahOe Nos CPS and 627,
owned by Anthony Showers, of Shenandoah,
were badly damaged by water. All the
houses were lined on Centre street and but
two double blocks on the square escaped
| They arc located at the eastern end of the
square and owned by Patrick Burke and
/ Felix Troskosky.
All the buildings were two-story frame
structures. Those owned by the Kovells
were valued at s. 900 each, aud were insured
for $500 each Dennis Whalens loss is s., ,OOC
and has $1,000 insurance Mrs. Donahoe's
loss is covered by insurance.
The fire ragged until 2:3O this morning and
the firemen worked until $3.50. The hose
/ companies kept streams on the ruins until
noon to-day.
Three men were injured during the fire
but none of them dangerously. c. &
Policeman Charles Kleindentz was struck by
the head of an AK flying from a handle il
the hands of a fireman and sustained an ugly
scalp wound. He is member of the Citi

The Lyon-Dunn Contest.

The court appointed by Governor Hastings
TO conduct the contest of Hon. 7. II. l.. Lyon
against Orphans Court Judge elect p. NJ.
Dunn adjourned yesterday afternoon to meet
January 20th to consider the points raised by
Judge Dunn's attorneys to quash the contest,
Hon John w. Ryon, counsel for Judge Lyon,
protested against unnecessary delay, stating
that the reasons for quashing the proceedings
had been argued before the Attorney
General Mr.. Schalck, in reply, said that
that official contended it was the duty of the
| court he might appoint to dispose of the
questions brought before him. Mr.. Schalck,
in support of the motion, argued that Orphans
'ourt Judge is county office, therefore the
proceeding was illegal; that the act of May
/ 1874, under which the contest is brought, dos,
not apply to the Office of Judge Of tn,
/ Orphans Court that it wa, ,he duty of the
| Governor under the law to have appointed
/ Judge Cyrus l.. Pershiug one of the judges
. to hear tine contest; that it was a manifest
/ disregard and omission of ihc law not to have
/ done So, aud that therefore the present com
mission has no authority in law. W. p.
/ Ramsey. Esq then argued for tine petitioner
