ical ills, which vanish before proper eff

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the

Judge Ross of the United States cir

opinions yesterday concerning the right
Of the Southern Pacific railroad COM

cision in each case was against the rail-
road company.
The cases were entitled Southern Pa
cific Railroad Vs. Anxious Smith, and
Southern Pacific Railroad VS.. Otto
Groech, and they were fully argued some
months since by Mr.. Singer on behalf
Of the railroad and J. II. Call on behalf
of the defendants. The court holds in
substance that the Southern Pacific
railroad was guilty of gross laches and
delay In failing to file its map of defin-
lite location and to select the lands. and
that five years of such delay would de-
feat the claim of the company to the
lands as against the entries of the de-
PENDANTS. The court further holds that
where the company lost lands on one
side of it's road within the granted
limits by reason of prior disposal by
the government that it cannot go on
the other side to make up such def
ciencies by selection, but that such Sc
lections must be made from the same

holm Gardner. of England. predicts
tbat 4 vegetable agent will yet be
found that shall 50 retard those chan
ges that bring about Old age as to pro
long human life much beyond its pres
sent limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse
produced by this thought, many emil
n,ent physicians have called from time
10 time upon the Shakers, of Mt. Leba-
non 10 inquire of them concerning the
secrets of medicinal plants, in which
these sincere, supplemented and God
fearing people are known to be wise
and skiIful beyond all other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received
from their visitors much valuable in
formation about disease; which they
at once made practical use Of. The
most important was that if a genuine
and certain remedy could be found for
indigestion and dyspepsia, and the all
ments growing out of it, a long step
would be taken in the right direction.
Old age, said these physicians, begins
in a failure of the digestion, and so do
1uost diseases at any and all periods OF
life. The result of these consultations
was the discovery by the Shakers of the
desired specific, made wholly from
herbs, and now known as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. It's action is mag
ical and worthy of its origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn. sick headache, weakness.
and WEAKNESS, cold hands and fee,
aversion to food, nervousness, or any
other symptom of dyspepsia, the Cor
dial will prove it's curative virtues. BE,

Messrs. 4. b. Cannady and j. NJ. Annette
won special distinctions of which this
institution feels justly proud.
At Trinity College Mr.. Jesse Hayden,
who was prepared for college at

an excellent scholarship record, but
as an inventor has made a record that
any young man of genius well might
envy. His recent invention is attract
inc the attention Of the scientific

Young man a fame that will reflect
great honor upon every institution
that helped to put ideas and practical
thoughts into the mind of a man who
will doubtless prove a blessing to hui
manity.
The reunion of old students brought
together quite a number of young men
from different parts of this State and
from other States. The speaking on
this occasion was excellent. "A most
striking feature connected with the
every old student in his speech referred
to the moral and religious training he
received while student at Thompson
school, emphasizing the great help
this training had been to him along
life's rough journey thus far.
The public debate was a very inter
estino one and the contest between
NJ. A. Patterson and A. NJ. Moore was
so close that the judges awarded a
medal to each contestant. The decla-
nations and orations were considered
very good. Quite a number of young
men graduated from the business col
lege.
The intellectual feast began with
the annual sermon, subject: strength
of Young Manhood preached by Rev.
7. NJ. johnson, of Henderson, n. c., and
terminated and reached its climax in
the literary address by DR.. Kilgo. TO
the regret and disappointment of the
immense audience present (more than
two thousand people) he had to leave
about one o'clock, therefore could only
outline his excellent address on
Christian education.
DIR. Kilgo's address was the most
forceful and eloquent presentation of
practical truths that this writer ever
heard More eloquent and burning
words doubtless ever fell from the lips
of man. DR.. Kilgo is no theoretical
schemer, neither is he an idle dreamer.
He is practical, thinking man, who
is devoting his whole time and in a
large measure sacrificing his life in an
effort to lift his fellow man to higher
plane in order that he may more clearly
comprehend the great purpose God
had in creating him. He is the fore
runner who is fearlessly and courage
ously preparing the way for the
mighty tidal wave of popular senti-
ment. relative to Christian education.
