There is more Catarrh in this section
ofthe country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nOunced it lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials. Address,

cal)-Mr. j. X. Taylor, son of Mr.. i.
A. Taylor, died this morning at G o'clock

lament his death and sympathize with
his bereaved parents.
| A negro baby apparently about two
months old, was found this morning in
a vacant lot. The child was alive and
well, wrapped up. A negro woman was
seen to get off the train last night with
a young baby land it is supposed that
she is the mother. Everything that can
be done by the towns officers to find
the inhnman mother will be done, and
| il caught she will certainly be pun
ished for abandoning her child.
In conversation with Mr.. w. S. Wilk-
insOn, the live and efficient secretary of
the Rocky Mount Fair, which begins
October 9th, he informs me that the
outlook for good fair is better than
ever. The association is out of debt,
and in a good financial condition. Those
in charge of the various departments are
taking more interest than usual to have
good exhibits. The open air. free trap
jpeZe performance and other outside at
fractions will be better than ever.
The race purses aggregate over $1,000
and they have already booked quite a
number of the best blooded trotters and
runners in the Southern States. Entries
for racing are open until October 9th
All who are fond of good racing will
certainly be well pleased and gratified
If they will come to the Rocky Mount
Fair.

Barrymore's Dilemma.

Maurice Barrymore was once in
London with a new piece which he
was anxious to have produced. He
had read it to manager, and it had
been decided that he was to play
the leading role. About a week
after it was supposed to have been
definitely settled Barry received a
note from the manager asking him
to call. Barrymore called, and the
manager said: II like the piece, old
fellow, but I don't see how I can
use you in the cast. Your beastly
American dialect won't do at all,
you know. They won't have it."
"Well, that's strange, said Bar
rymore. "They told me on the other
side that they wouldn't have me on
account of my beastly English dia-
lect. What am 1 to do, give recita-
tons on the transatlantic steam

One of the speeches that ]. M.
Barrie delivered here wss q surprise
to his friends in London, who had
never heard him attempt a speech
of any kind and were not prepared
for. the way in which he acquitted
himself at one of the dinners given
in his honor by a literary club. One
of his friends in London said that
Mr.. Barrie had under no circum-
stances ever ventured to speak more
than a few words, and Zangwill told
a story of a dinner in London at
which Barrie was the principal
guest. Somebody had asked the
proper way to pronounce the title of
one of Mr.. Barrie's books, and when
Mr.. Barrie arose to make speech
he confined himself to solitary
sentence commencing, "It is pro-
nounced, i" and ending with the cor
rect pronunciation of the name. AS
this had been. the most that Mr..
Barrie had ever attempted in his
own country his London friends
were astonished to lear that he had
not only delivered an after dinner
speech here, but had also got through
the effort with great credit. New
