MORE

Curative power is contained In Hoods
Sarsaparilla than in any other similar
preparation. 1t costs the proprietor
and manufacturer more. 1t costs the
iobber more and it is worth more to
the consumer. More skill Is required
in its preparation and it combines more
remedial qualities than any other med
icine. Consequently it has record OF
more cures and its sales are more than
those Of any other preparation. Hoods
Sarsaparilla IS the best medicine to buy
because it is an honest medicine and
thousands of testimonials prove that 1t
does actually and permanently cure dis

New Tobacco Worm.

In Duplin county new speeches OF
tobacco worm has appeared, and owing
to the difficulty of determination prom
ises to be serious enemy to the tobac-
co industry.
The State Agricultural Experiment
Station to-day announces its discovery
as follows:
"a small caterpillar has been discov-
cred mining the leaves OF growing to-
bacco. The caterpillar is about half an
inch long, greenish with dark brown
head. 1t makes an irregular or blotch
mine by eating the green matter, paren-
chyma of the leaf, leaving the skins in
tact and the leaf transparent. The cat
erpillar is extremely voracious and as
several usually mine one leaf, the leaf
is soon rendered worthless.
"Being protected by the skins of the
gist of the North Carolina Experiment
Station gives this remedy for the pest
"Being protected by the skins OF the
leaf, no ordinary poison or insecticide
will destroy this pest, nor can it be
hand picked without destroying the
leaf. The only treatment is to watch
for leaves showing transparent blotches
and when found to remove or burr
them. So far this pest has been re
ported only from one locality in NORTH
Carolina, but it behooves tobacco grow
ers everywhere to look out for It ane

ENFIELD, N. c., June Is, '96.
For some few years our little town
has been on stand still, but we are
proud to say now that it Is on the up
grade, both rellgiously and secularly.
One has but to come here and stay a
few days to have this statement veri-
fed, as many have recently done.
The writer has just closed meeting
of 16. days in which he was aided by
Evangelist John T. Edmundson, which
is said to have been the best meeting
Enfield has had for many years. Since
Rev. J. E. Hutson was here some ten
or twelve years ago.
The Lord was with us in great power.
The Holy Spirit took the gospel which
was presented so simply, plainly and
with so much power by Bro. Edmund
son and made it power to the revlv-
ing of the many inactive, lukewarm
christians and to the awakening and
saving OF lost souls. Almost the entire
town became enlisted in the meeting.
Many who had treated their souls in
terest with perfect Indifference were
made to think as never before and also
to act. Something over 40 made pro-
fession in the meeting.
All the churches received spiritual
strength, for they all came in and
worked heartily in the meeting and
will In the near future get some numer
ical strength. AS direct result of the
meeting there have been received int
the Baptist church IA new members
This is the first addition the church
has had Tor quite while. We hav'
not stopped yet, others are coming ant
we think when all have been gathered
in we will have about doubled ou
membership.
We said Enfield is climbing from 8
business standpoint. One large, com
modious tobacco warehouse has jus
been completed and is ready for the
coming tobacco crop, and another ont
will begin building this week and w
understand there will be some prize
houses built in the near future.
Mr.. III. G. Atkinson is making ex
tensive preparation for the handling o.
stock during the coming season. HI
will soon have finished large stabl,
just opposite the new warehouse
From the honorable and gentleman,
manner in which he has treated hi
customers and the public in the pas
we can not expect anything for him il
the future but success.
We think new hotel will be opened
here in the near future. We met
gentleman here the other day prospect
ing for that business.
Our town is supplied with fue man
ufacturers who are prepared to furnish
the farmers with fiues. We are glad t.
have new enterprises and new me1
come to our town and we open on
doors and hearts and give them kint
welcome.
We welcome The COMMONWEALTH
