J Our rs are just as strong as
J they were fifty years ago, when
we have cause to use them.
{ But we have less and less cause

J more than willing for you to see
us through other eyes. This

believe Ayers Sarsaparilla to
] be the best blood purifier, that
I has been introduced to the gen.

J man who has sold thousands of

RALEIGH TWENTY YEARS AGO.
Happy Local Hits Made Last Night by
AL. G.. Fields.

OF all the delightful things said and
done at the Academy of Music by the
Al. G. Fields Ministries, perhaps the best,
and certainly that which was most en-
joyed by the audience was the following
parody on the old school-boy speech,
which begins, "Pve wandered to the vii
lage, Tom"
The following lines sung by Mr.. Fields
in his own inimitable style brought forth
storms of applause and shrieks of
laughter:
Il wandered to old Raleigh town,
The improvements there to see;
The city council is wide-awake,
AS active as can be,
No mud or dirt is piled around,
They clean the streets you know
But the old sidewalks are just as bad
AS twenty years ago.
But an old land marks still standing,
AS you can plainly see;
Many fine buildings have been built,
AS handsome as can be;
But an old land marks's still standing,
Tom,
We've slept in it, you know
The old Station House is just as bad,
AS twas twenty years ago.
Twas after eleven o'clock, dear Tom,
When l got into town
Although / was hungry and thirsty, Tom,
No refreshments could be found
And the next day it was Sunday, Tom
You can't even buy bread, you know;
1t seems that Raleigh is going back
Since twenty years ago.
L wandered to the capital, Tom,
Our old friends to see,
But none were there to greet me- Tom,
All were strange to me-
L asked for our old friends, Tom.
And they said why don't you know?
The Denis are out and the Pops are in
Since twenty years ago.
I walked all through the dear old build
ing,
AS we'd done in days of yore:
/ wanted to stroll all over the grounds.
AS we always did before
But twas after Z o'clock, dear Tom,
Burns wouldn't allow it, you know
One man didn't run the capital, Tom.
Some twenty years ago.
/ saw the same old girls go by,
That used to fiirt with me-

SAYS:

If all nursing mothers could only arow
the true worth of Mrs. Joe Persons Rem
edy, world of anxiety and trouble
would be saved. 1t is the greatest medi-
cine l ever tried in my life. 1 had a
large family of children, and do believe
am indebted to Mrs. Joe Persons Rem
edy for having raised them all. When
anything is the matter with my children
l give them the Remedy and there ia
never any need to give them soothing syr-
ups, paregoric and things of that kind.
The Remedy keeps them well and
healthy, especially when teething, and
they never need anything else. One of nv
babies had sore eyes so that the eyes had
to be kept shaded all the time, and the
Remedy cured her. cannot say enough
for it. If everybody could know what
it would do and try it, a world of suf-
fering would be saved.

be in the best of order in every way save
that there is slight disorder of the diges-
ton. The sufferer hardly notices it, and
does not think it worth troubling about. 1t
is just one little string out of order, but it
soon puts every organ in the body into
jangling discord. The blood no longer re-
ceives the proper supply of life-giving ele-
ments with which to build up new and
healthy tissue. Instead it receives the poi
sons thrown off by Improperly digested food
and the effete material with which the in
testines are clogged. Diseases of the blood
and skin or wasting diseases like. consump-
ton are the result.
The best of all known medicines is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
keeps every life-string in perfect tune. 1t
corrects all disorders of the digestion. 1t
invigorates the liver. 1t makes the appetite
hearty and keen and assimilation perfect.
1t fills the blood with the vital-elements that
build new and healthy tissues firm mus
Giles, and strong, vibrant nerve fibers. Acting
through the blood it tears down inert, half
dead tissues and causes them to be carried
off and excreted. 1t acts upon every organ
of the body driving out impurities and dis
ease-germs. 1t is the great blood maker
and flesh-builder. 1t cures every kind of
humor from the common simple blotch or
eruption to scrofula. 1t cures eczema, salt
rheum, and all skin affections. 1t cures %
per cent of all cases of consumption. Thou

Recent dispatches from Tacoma have said
that owing to the slack demand for tea since

the Pacific coast ports have been to the effect
that the United states market Is likely to be

have arrived AT these ports within tho past

The Japanese tea merchants here say that the
