There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than in all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, ard by con-
stantly. failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it ineurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitution
al disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
t:ona1 cure on the market. It is taken
Internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send fol
circulars and testimonials.

Good Health

And q good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss of appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
fortifcations of good health are broken
down and the system is liable to at
tacks of disease. 1t is in such cases
that the medicinal powers Of Hoods
Sarsaparilla are clearly shown: Thou
sands who have taken Hoods Sarsapa-
r,lla testify to its great merits as
purifier of the blood, its powers to re.
store and sharpen the appetite and
promote healthy action of the diges'
tive organs. Thus it IS, not what we
say but what Hoods Sarsaparllla does
that tells the story and constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged tor any medicine. Why not take
Hoods Sarsaparilla now?

4 DELUGE OF lC {.
WAKE FOREST HAS A DISAS-
TROUS HAIL STORM.
COTTON CROP DESTROYED.
MANY Farmers Will Plow up
The Bare Stalks. Loss es-
timated at $4,000

Some of the residents OF Wake
Forest, N. c., ate ice cream Suns
day that had been frozen with
hailstones. Which is a cold fact
attested by prominent and vera,
cious citizens.
The hardest hailstorln ever
known in this section fell at
Wake Forest Saturday night
The ice pellets came down in a
perfect deluge and coated the
face of the earth. They beat out
window panes, and with their
hard blows fecked the paint on
the Notwithstanding until the
houses were dappled with little
polka-dots. 1t slit the blades of
the growing corn and beat down
the stalks. The leaves were
knocked off the cotton, and some
of the fields look as if a fax
break had passed over them.
A half hour after the hail fall !,
Prof. Lennen put measuring
rule into a drift against the col
lege building, and it measured
eleven inches deep.
Mr.. Will Bailey, editor of the
Biblical Recorder. brought some
of the cotton stalks to Raleigh
Sunday.
Mr.. Wiley Rogers, of the Meas
G. Observer, says he measured ice
(under leaves) three inches deep
at 10 o'clock the morning after
the storm.
The storm lasted about ten
minutes and did about $4,000
damage. its area was some two
miles by three les, beginning
at DR.. Harris place.
Mr.. P. H. Mangum says he
will plow up his cotton fields and
plant in peas. His crop, worth
nearly $4,000, is a total failure.
Mr.. F. K. Holdings's loss is
probably $1,000. His cotton
crop was almost totally ruined.
AS far as Riley's Cross Roads
the cotton is almost totally de-
stroyed.
} The farmers are greatly dis
couraged. They say cotton is
ruined, and it is too late to res
