A cough which presists day after day, should not be neglected any longer. It means something more than mere local irritation, and the sooner if is relieved the better. Take Ayers cherry pectoral. It is prompt to act and sure to cure.

Local Affairs.
Saturday at Ronald8' Park.
TWO GOOD RACES BY LOCAL HORSES.


 The Saturday afternoon gathering of 1 the local hOrsemen at R0nalds' Park last Saturday, was quite successful affair. To be sure it didn't look much as it did fair time. but quite number showed their interest in the event by turning out and fairly we'll sprinkling the grand stand with an audience. Two trots were made up from the horses on the grounds. It was agreed that they should be half-mfle heats and the best three out of five won the trophy, which was nice horse blan ket for the winner and good bone whip for second best.
 In the first race were three starters but c. G. Peck's Hazel easily took and kept the lead throughout all three heats, A R. Briscoe's stallion, Ambrose, coming in second and k. Fl. Lakes Clissie third. Following is the summary:
 Hazel c. c. Peck, ! Ambrose, A. R. Briscoe, 3 9 Clissie, E. H. Lake, 3 8
 Time 8I, | B, I.26.
 The second race was more exciting and took five heats to decide the winner. G F. Duncombe took the first heat with Maud, but lost the next two, c. c. Blake mans Jim B coming in ahead. In the next two heats Maud forged ahead and kept the lead throughout. Following is the summary:
 Maud, c. F. Duncombe, Jim B, c. c. BIakeman, 4l1 Genie' C. G. Peck, 3 3 Jeff, A. R. Briscoe,
 Time, I.34, l.35, I30, 80 3-4, I.3l34
 Between the heats Prof Miller of Beth el amused the audience with colt be- longing to Frank Mitchell. The colt was not as vicious a one as the professor wished for but it was the only one that came, so he put 1t through the perform euce and did about what he pleased with it, and it made pleasant pastime while waiting for the races. Prof Miller has system of his own for handling colts and claims he can handle the most vicious horses and do anything with them.
 A regular Saturday afternoon meet at Ronalds' Park during this pleasant fall weather wouldn't be bad thing and al most any one would be glad to pay 10 cents to go in and see some gooG races, if they could be arranged for at that price of admission.

playing manager. and hence Mr.. Boyer
WAS last night given his release. The
management before the opening of the
season decided to try the experiment OF
non-playing manager. hoping thereby
to land Roanoke higher up in the race
than 1t had landed the two previous
seasons. but inasmuch as she does not
occupy higher position In the race
they decided they could no, afford the
extra expense of non.playing mana
ger. The management regrets the
| necessity OF having to part with Mr..
Boyer's services. For the present Pop"
Tate will have charge of the team as
