LIGHTNTNG's QUEER FREAK.

One of the queerest freaks of light.
ming yet recorded is the prank ftp layed
at Mr. Alex. Dunn's at Neuse. In Mr..
Dunn's barn lot are a row OF COW sta
bles, four in all. All were occupied
when lightning struck the building
last Saturday. The cow in stall num-
Der one was killed, the animal in stall
number two escaped unframed The
cow in stall number three was killed,
and the cow in stall number four was
unhurt The only explanation Of this
strange incident is that the stalls are
built at the foot OF a large tree. In
the stables where the COWS were kilt
ed the roots of the tree protrude,
while in the other two stalls the roots
are beneath the surface. The bolt Of
lightning struck the tree.

ROUND. ROSY FACES.

Laughing eyes, frames full of vlgor
and elasticity, are blessings attainabIe
by the cadaverous. the haggau'd nd the
dyspeptic, who try that wisest OF eN-
pserimem an experiment whose hap
py outcome Us testified to by myriads--
viz. a course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, promptly begun and steadily
pursued. There is no tonic comparable
to it in efficacy, none mo9 agdreeable
and speedily beneficial. The nervous
and dyspeptic, suffering from malaria,
rheumatism, constipation, bilousness
and kidney troubles are rapidly aided
by the Bitters, and it is one of the best
means of counteracting the effects OF
excessive bodily or mental fatigue, and
exposure in wet or Indictment weather.
Persons of a sedentary habits find it
a most useful revivifier and recupera-
tor Of exhausted energy. Use it in or
der to sleep well, eat heartily and dl-
gest thoroughly. Physicians every
where speak in high terms OF it.

CIRCULAR FNCITES
COLORED PREACHERS.

Secretary White, of the Baptist State
Board of Missions, has news of an
anonymous circular that is creating
excitement among the Baptist negroes
in BERTHE and the adjoining counties.
1t has created such stir that one
day this week the colored Baptist
ministers in BERTHE county will meet
at Windsor to take action in the
premises, and give the writer of the
circular the denuciation he deserves.
The circular charges Rev Luke
Pearce with obtaining money from
Northern people under false pretenses;
the money obtained for alleged educa-
tional purposes and having been mis-
applied. 1t charges Rev c. S. Brown,
another well-known negro preacher,
with immoral practices.
In spite of its lack of signature, and
the secrecy of the circular, the preach
ers claim to have unearthed the author
of the anonymous screed. ROdman
Mitchell is said to have written the
circular.

whether Major Mckinley would take the

hoped that Mr.. Bryan would continue to
talk, as everything he said made Repub-
li,an votes.

secretary of the committee, strongly ia
vors a stumping tour by Mckinley. He
said: "On the Pacific coast the vital ques-
tion is the tariff. Ishould like to see Nc
Kinley make tour, beginning in Cali

then coming east, giving about six weeks
at the end Of the campaign to that work. ,
