CAMDEN G.. III.

Miss Ella Jennings, of Pasquo-
tank county, is now visiting
Miss Mamie Trafton, of Be1cross.
Misses Mary and Sophia Wood
returned last Friday from Muir
freesboro, n. c., where they
have been attending the COM
mencement exercises of the c. B.
F. Institute.
Mr.. Nathan H. Sawyer, of
South Mills, is busily engaged
in getting piling. to hasten the
repair of the Dismal Swamp
canal, which will be OF great
benefit when completed.
Miss Jennie Gordon, of Old
Trap, formerly of Currituck c
H., has been visiting the family
of Rev. n. H. Guyton, while he
attended the District Conference
at Roper, n. c.; after spending a
week, she returned home last
Monday.
The N. & S. r. r. agent at
Camden was the recipient of 20
barrels of Irish potatoes, to be
shipped from his place, which
we're the first presented for
Northern markets. Mr.. c. S.
Forbes being the shipper said
while planting that he wanted to
dig potatoes the first day of J2ne,
he was fortunate enough to ac-
complish his wish.
The characters met persuant
to instructions on Thursday,
May 27th, to prepare for the en-
ter. ainment which was held at
Belcross Academy under the
supervision Of Miss Ella Lee
Gilbert. It was called a success
and enjoyed by all who were
present. The programme was
drawn by DR.. c. ]. Sawyer and
given out accordingly.
The attendance was exceeds
ingly larger than expected, we
cordially thank the people for
their presence, also the good be-
havior during the process of dia-
logues, farces, etc. Refresh>
ments were served, and while the
people were partaking, they were
cheered by delightful music, per-
formed by violinists. etc.
On last Sunday the dedicatory
sermon of Sharon M. E. Church
took place at o'clock a. nj. It
was ably delivered by Rev. c. D.
Crawley, of Hickory, Va, former
pastor of the Camden Circuit.
The attendance was large, not
withstanding the light showers
that passed over early that morn
ing. A contribution was taken
to liquidate the indebtedness of
the church, which was very
liberal. Public dinner was pre-
pared on the grounds and every
body seemed to enjoy the kind
invitation to partake of the good
things put before them. 1t was
indeed a pleasure to behold the
numerous gathering Of charm
ing and attractive young ladies
that live in and around that COM
munity. The c. H. was repre-.
sented by Mr.. r. L. Forbes and
one of his friends, who reported
good time.

The following, taken from an
exchange, is as true as preach
ing-every word of it-and we
commend it to the people OF
Elizabeth City for careful con-
sideration
The great need of the South is
capital. It's opportunities are
unlimited but it needs money tc
quickly take advantage of them
When we have sufficient capital
to do SO we may expect to have
the most prosperous country that
has ever existed on the globe
The way to attract capital is fol-
all those interested in the wei.
fare of the South to help adver-
tise her wonderful resources. II
it will pay an individual or a
firm to advertise it will certainly
pay country, when it needs
both capital and population tc
build it up.

| We are impressed with the
fact that there will be quite a
large attendance from this place
to the commencement of the
Atlantic Collegiate Institute in
Elizabeth City, beginning on
Friday.
There will be usual services
next Sunday at Sawyer's Greek
Church by the pastor, Rev. T. G.
Wood. In times past this was
known far and wide, as the "big
June Meeting," and everyone
| tried to see who could dress the
finest, have the best dinners and
invite the largest number of
guests home with them, in fact
| was more a show of fine clothes,
than a religious worship, but the
times have changed, the men,
bers of the church and people
generally, are tired of such use>
less display and have resolved to
have no more such extravagant
display of dress or dinners, and
treat the day as any other ordi
nary preaching day, and instead
of being totally given to display
of dress, devote their time to the
services of the day, which we
think a wise and sensible plan.

At the election in Virginia
last Thursday the people put
that State back in the Democrat
&c columns, which means that
great majority of her citizens
are governed by a consideration
of business and general munich
pal welfare, and that they will
not support party which aspires
to office solely for the spoils
possible to obtain. The result
of the election was no. surprise
to us, indeed, we would have
been rather surprised had the
election gone any other way but
Democratic-as North Carolina
will in November, or sooner if
the people were given a chance to
vote.

Married Or Single.

One of the ways of telling
whether man is married man
or not is to examine his pockets
In the pockets of a bachelor you
will find:
Half a dozen letters from girls.
A tailor's bill.
Three or four old checks for
theatre seats.
Bills for supper.
Theatrical looking photo
graphs.
A lot of invitations to dances,
dinners and receptions.
A tiny glove scented with
violet.
But the married mans pocket
will contain:
An old bill.
A couple of unposted letters
which were given him to post a
week past
A sample of impossible shade
which he must match.
A newspaper clipping telling
of a sure cure for Group.
A shopping list ranging from
a box of blackiug to three yards
of lace.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
piciOn attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
overfows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich. de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. As it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of
untold misery. As the remedy in
question was the result of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to III. G. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
it trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him
