Festival Near Weeksville.

\ brilliant and enjoyable fes
tival was held at the country
home Of Mr.. James Perry, of this
place, near Weeksv1lle, this
county, Friday light, Oct. 23rd.
The assem- b1age was very large,
and quite a number Of young
ladies and gentlemen from this
place were present. The inclem-
cnt weather did not seem to in
terfere with the pleasure seekers.
The time was joyously spent in
innocent games, also in voting
of a very handsome pastel pic
turc, to the prettiest young lady
present. The beautiful piece of
art was awarded to Miss Minnie
Parker, of this place. There
was quite a struggle between tile
Elizabeth City boys and Weeks
vile boys, to whom should have
the prize; the boys of Weeksville
were very anxious that Miss
Lizzie Cartwright, whom is con
sldered belle of that place, should
VIII the prize, but the Elizabeth
City boys were sure to win.
Next prize to be given was a
handsome cake. Miss Cartwright
was allowed to win this, as she
surely deserved it. Last but
not least III beauty was a pretty
level case, Miss Clarine Perry,
the winner. Mr.. and Mrs Mor>
us, who resides at the grand old
home of Mr.. Perry, with their
charming daughters, were hosts
not to be excelled. They were
ever attentive to their many
guests who are indebted to them
1or such a delightful evening
The table upon which the boun
ufuI repast was laid amid a
protuslon OF flowers, was really a
marvel of beauty. The occasion
was to benefit the Methodist
parsonage Of the circuit

Ing. says The Upholsterer, was recently
undertaken by New Yorker. but up to
the time of our last inspection had not
progressed much beyond the mere
scheme. The idea applied simply to the
walls, which were covered in q dark
deadish green ingram paper, and at va
rious points around these walls were
simple shelves upon which were deep
green jardinieres containing artificial
flowers arranged after tho style Of the
Japanese, appearing to be in natural
growth. each pot containing but one kind
Of flower. Vines were arranged upon the
walls and, presented thus. were the only
designs or colorings anywhere upon the
four sides of the room. Artificial flowers
are plentiful and at certain periods are
cheap enough. The calculation was that
about SIS worth Of flowers were needed,
and We can readily understand that the
idea would give tho appearance Of
quaintness if nothing more.

NIith q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
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 a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo Figs, prompt
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and 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 tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then 1axa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Used and gives most general satisfaction.
