Eggs are now lowering around the
twenty-five cent mark, and will be
higher before Christmas. Thus, a
dozen eggs are worth nearly as much
as a bushel of corn. Such being the
case our farmers and poultry raisers
should go in the egg business more
largely, as bushel of corn ought to
produce several dozen of eggs.

DR.. WATKINS ON SUNDAY.
He Preached Two Able and ElCqusnt
Sermons.

Rev. John S. Watkins, ID. D., of Spar
tansburg. S. c.. who has been visiting
his friends in Raleigh, returned to
Spartanburg yesterday. While here
he was the guest of Mr.. Julius Lewis
No man has visited Raleigh in a long
time who received so warm a welcome !;
for as pastor of the First Presbyterian
church here for fourteen years he en-
deared himself to people of all call
ings and creeds. His broad Christian
charity, his modest bearing, his schol-
arship and earnestness, his warm
heart and lively interest in whatever
concerns his fellows gives him direct
entrance to the hearts of all with
whom he comes in contact.
Large congregations greeted him
morning and night at the First Pres
byser;an chuEch The solo by Miss
Maud Merrimon at the morning ser
vice made every nearer worshipful.
The sermon was a sweet, wholesome,
uplifting one on the power of the per-
sonality of Jesus to simplify the re-
ligion of Christ, and to grid men for
endurance in the battle of life. He
showed, with illustration and incident,
shat 1T was personal love and not de-
vCtion to system that appealed TO the
hearts and consciences OF men, and in
Weighed against tnatpreaching that
puts doctrine and system above love
Of Christ as a person. 1t was heart
reaching sermon, inspiring the congre-
gaIion to conservation and higher
ideals.
DR.. Daniel was most felicious in his
allusion to the return of DIR. Watkins
to his old friends, and his wei
come was expressed with well chosen
words. The occasion was one OF deep
interest, and bound more strongly the
ties between DR.. Watkins and his old
Pensioners. There were present to
greet him very many members of other
churches, showing shat the former
pastors friends were confined to no
one communion.

THE wAIf. SAVING CIRCLE.
Mrs. w. q. kendrick Tells of the Pur-
poses of This Heroic Work. Meet
ing This Evening.

"We are continually doing some
thing for our dead by erecting costly
monuments over them; it is time to do
something for the living. Rev. j. r.
Jones at the Friends meeting.
Our people have been recently
startled by the statement that crime
is increasing in North Carolina at
the rate of five per cent a year. We
have penal institutions; but they are
not sufficient. We must dry up the
sources of vice and crime.
The waits, the homeless boys and
girls, the outcast children of beg gars-
these are the sources of vice. II they
can be taken in hand and tul lad in
the right direction in their early
years, there is every reason to believe
good men and women can be made OF
them. Loose on the streets they ma
turally drift down stream.
1t is not their fault; it is the fault
of men and women who could if they
would take them out of the current OF
vice, and surround them with whole
some environments and develop them
into useful men and women.
4 "Waif-Saving Station" is neces-
sfty if we would do this.
The Wait Saving Circle OF the King 5
Daughters of Raleigh, inspired by the
great need, encouraged by the sue
cess of other stations, and filled with
the love of God, have determined to
establish station in Raleigh. 1t is
the purpose of these ladies to buy a
lot as soon as the funds may be raised.
They will call on all benevolent
people to aid them; and if they re-
spond, this grand work will be estab-
lished in few months.
This (Tuesday) evening this Circle
will give Birthday Fete" at Viii
liams' old bookstore on Fayetteville
street. Invitations will be sent out.
Admission will be according to age
a penny for every year you have lived.
1t is hoped by this means to raise
enough money to buy the plot of land.
The guests viii be invited to take a
ride on the Electric Beauty during
the evening.
Refreshments will be served free.

A POISONED LIVER.
Don't Keep Poison in Your Body Longer
Than You Have To.

II your stomach poisons your liver
the consequence may be serious.
What poisons arise in your stomach
come from undigested food which had
decomposed there. They are absorbed
by your blood and go to your liver,
where they paralyze its functions and
make you bilious.
Finally they go into the blood again
and are carried all over the body, dis
ordering your different organs, and
perhaps making you dangerously sick.
This is the origin of many diseases
which are not always known for what
they are.
The poisons of undigested food can
only be got rid OF by the use of puri-
flying, strengthening, digestive tonic,
like the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
A few doses OF this wonderful cor
dial will soon clear away all undi-
gested, fermenting, poisonous sub
stances, restore your appetite, aid you
to digest your food, purify your liver
and blood of all dangerous poisons,
and restore you to perfect health.
Tt will cure biliousness, indigestion,
nausea, headache, dizziness, mental
depression, weakness, fever, fiatulence,
constipation, loss of appetite, bad taste
in mouth, stomachache, anaemia,
rheumatism, etc, where other medi-
cines will barely give relief.

%, 1896, was more favorable for crops
and especially for farm work, than any
since the middle of July. The first two
days of the week continued warm, but
on the 18th very beneficial rains occur
red at large number of places, follow
ing which the temperature dropped be-
low the normal, with some agreeably
cool nights. The rainfall was not suf-
ficient to break the drought generally,

Many people give but little heed to
the first attacks made by rheuma-
tism. Unless the pain is very severe
they argue that it will be time
enough to look for a cure when the
trouble grows worse. Thus a fear
full mistake is made. A small
quantity of water will put out a
house on fire while the blaze is
small. But after it is nearly con-
sumed it is too late, even with an
