OBITUARY.

Sallie Williams, wife of A. R.
Williams, and daughter Of Nath-
an and E. M. Hales, aged 20
years and 6 months.
Fell on sleep June 81, 1896.
To those who knew her, she needs
no eulogy, and to others, let ii
suffice to say she was not only q
kind and devoted wife and mother
and only to form her acquaint-
ance to know her, but also a de-
voted member of the Free Will
Baptist church, of which she lived
a consistent member for about
nine years, She now sleeps with
her children and others who have
gone before, to await the resur-
rection from the dead of all the
sleeping saints who sleep in Jesus,
to receive a crown of life which
the Lord, the righteous judge,
shall give them at that day, with
all who loves His appearing and
kingdom. She was the mother OF
Z children, 4 of which survive he1
with their father and many sym
pathizing friends to mourn hel
loss, which loss we trust is her
gain. May the Lord comfort
them in their bereavement anC
guide them by His spirit to love
and obey Him, is the prayer OF
the unworthy writer.

Last summer one of our grand
children was sick with a severe
bowel trouble. Our doctors rem
edies had failed; then we tried
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
the Diarrhoea Remedy, which
gave very speedy relief. We re-
gard it as the best medicine ever
put on the market for bowel com
plants. -Mrs. e. G.. Gregory,
Frederickstown, Mo. This GERS
tally is the best medicine ever
put on the market for dysentery,

never fails to give prompt relief
when used in reasonable time
and the plain printed directions
are followed. Many mothers

Alderman Hilker moved to ex-
tend the system as agreed upou.
Alderman Borden referred to

Sleep

Induced by the use of coca, opiate or mar
cotic compounds is bad, decidedly bad.
They undermine health and shatter the
constitution and the patient is steadily
growing into a worse condition often
resulting in the terrible slavery and
misery of the cocaine and opium habit.
Sleep induced by the use of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla does not perhaps come as quickly,
but it comes more surely and more per-
manently through natures great restor-
ing and ~rejuvenating channel -purifed,
vitalized and enriched blood. This feeds
the nerves with life-giving energy and
builds up the system and constitution
from the very foundation OF all health
and life-the blood-pure, rich, red blood.

''LAND OF THE SKY"
An Opportunity to Visit This Sec
ton at a Nominal Cost.

Just at this season every one
is possessed with a desire to
tear themselves away from the
business and domestic cares of
life and spend a short while in
pleasure seeking and sight see,
ing, Mr.. r. E. Pipkln, of this
city, has recognized this fact for
several seasons and has made it
possible for quite a number OF
those with limited means to take
a few days off and witness SOM
Of the grandest scenery in che
word at a cost almost trifing.
And, Judging from the advertise
ing matter sent ont and the an
nouncements already made, this
season will be no exception.
That innate desire for pleas
ure that is so universal with the
hum;n family can be gratifed
for a short while by taking a
glimpse of the beautiful noun
tain scenery of Western North
Carolina and drinking deep
draughts from their sparkling
springs and inhaling the invigor-
ating breezes that whistle
through their rocky Gle fls. This
is what can be done by taking
advantage Of Mr.. Pipkin's ex
cursion, that leaves here on the
21st inst. for Asheville.
No prosaic or poetic pen Cal
describe the real beauties of thi:
famous Land of the Sky
Nothing but an ocular demon
stration can convey to the mine
the wonders and beauties tina
nature here reveals.
All that want to become bet
ter acquainted with the geogra
ply OF our State and see the
wonderful sights encompasset
within it's borders should avail
themselves of this opportunit.
TO do so at a nominal cost.

In the vicinity of Boquet,


In the vicinity of Boquet,
Westmore1and Co., Pa, almost
any one can tell you how to cure
a lame back or stiff neck. They
dampen a piece of flannel with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
bind it on the affected parts and
in one or two days the trouble
has disappeared. This same
treatment will promptly cure a

BRYAN AND SEWALL.
Conference With The Democratic
Committee on Motif
fcation.

liam J. Bryan reached the Cliff
ton House at $50 o'clock this
morning. from the residence of
Mrs. Lyman Trumbull, where he
and Mrs. Bryan spent Saturday
night and Sunday. He looked
fresher and brighter after his
day of uninterrupted rest. In the
lobby of the Clifton Mr.. Bryan
and Mrs. Bryan met Senator
White, of California, and the
other members of the sub-com~
mittee of the Committee of mott
fcation, who had come by APP
poiLtment to have a chat about
the arrangement for giving for
NAL notice of Mr.. Bryan's se>
lection by the Democratic Con-
vention.
Mr.. Arthur Sewall, the Vice.
candidate, was also
present. AL after Mr.. Bryan
had finished shaking hands with
the score of people who gather
ed about him in the lobby, he
and the others went to room No.
1, where the Presidential candi-
date had his headquarters dsr
ing convention week.
The subcommittee spent an
hour with Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Sewall and the result of all their
talk was a determination to post
pone the date of notification un>
til some time after July 21st. the
date first named. The members
of the subcommittee said after
the meeting that the date would
undoubtedly be during the sec :
ond week in August, and that
New York would be the place.
It was Mr.. Bryan's suggestion
that the notification should be
in the metropolis and every
thing indicates that no change
will be made.
It was found that the sub>com-
mittee could not well make any
definite arrangement for notih-
cation in view of the absence of
details. MIR Bryan told the com
mittee that he wanted to change
his plans and would like to go to
his home in Lincoln as soon as
possible. Just after tbs meeU>
ing adjourned he expressed his
intention ON this subject to a
Southern Associated Press re-
porter: Il am going to Salem,
ILL.,, my old home, this after
noon," he said, land will remain
there two days. From Salem
go will direct toLincoln, probably
by the Missouri Pacific, and will
stay there and in Omaha until
the arrangements for my Motif
cation are made. My plans are
uncertain yet" Mrs. Bryan will
accompany her husband to Salem
and Lincoln.
Mr.. Sewall ha@ not'yet decided
whether he will join Mr.. Bryan
in the speech-maklng feature OF
the campaign. He says he can
build better SHIPS than speeches.
He added: Whether or moi
I shall take an active part in the
campaign will be settled by the
executive committee. AS Sena
ator Jones will take two or three
days to select this committee, ]
am not able to say whether l shall
be making speeches next month

a hold on them and make life wretched.
Those three complaints usually come to-
gether. Constipation affects the stomach
and liver. That brings on bilious attacks
and indigestion, headaches, nausea, dizzi-
ness, queer sensations of weakness and pal
pitation. Your nerves are unstrung, your
system is sluggish. You lose ambition.
The fact is your whole constitution is being
slowly undermined. What you need is DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They cure constipation, dyspepsia and bill.
iousness in the only sure, permanent way.
There is nothing violent or irritating about
them, they work mildly though quickly.
They tone and strengthen the bowels to
carry on their functions naturally. They
gently stimulate the flow of bile from the
liver and the digestive juices of the stor1-
ach. You don't become a slave to their
use as with other pills. They make you reg
ular and then you can leave them. That is
the difference between DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets and the something "just as good"
which a sharp druggist tries to substitute.
Don't let him do SO with you.

CONVTCTS ON ROADS.

Georgia, as much as thirty years ago,
had earned the name of a ''Y ankee" State
from the keenness of its people, their intense
ly practical views of things, and their
willingness to try every new scheme for the
general welfare. They are now getting
cheaper roads and better roads than any
other Southern State has, through their
counties working convict labor. The labor
costs the counties just twenty-six cents
per day per diem, and no more. They are
The State convicts and the county cOnvicts

by experience, to be its benefits:
1t fees the county from the expense of
keeping prisoners without any return value.
1t engages convict labor in healthful occu-
patton without bringing it in competition
with free labor.
1t is the best possible punishment for the
common criminal.
1t cures the tramp nuisance.
The result (good roads, is universal ben

PASSING NEWS OF THE DAY.

Some months ago Tiffany Il Co., the
Gorham Manufacturing Co. and other swell
si]verware dealers of New York, had
the department store men lndlct-
ed for selling silverware marked
sterling" but not up to the standard.
The department store men returned the
compliment by sending agents to each of
the swell stores to purchase ''sterling" Sill
verWare, which they took to the U. s.
Assay office and proved to be under stand
ard. In some cases the amount of pure
silver only represented ten per cent. of the
price paid for the article. Tiffany & Co.
and the other swell storekeepers were then
indicted.
Another remarkable practical application
of the A-rays has been made in the physi-
cal laboratory of the Johns Hopkins Uni.
versity. Two photographs of an unborn
infant were taken and when developed the
shadowgraphs were unusually clear and
distinct, even the smaller bones in the
child's tiny body being visible. The sue.
