THE CAROLINA TWIN
Mile Christine is to be on
Exhibition at the Fair.
GREATEST LIVING FREAK !!
Two Heads With Only One Body -one Sings
Alto the Other Soprano.

OF all the curiosities ever unearthed
by the immortal Barum, none can COM
pare in the most minute degree with
Mile Christine, daughter or daughters
whichever the fastidious please-of the
State of North Carolina, born at White
vile, Columbus county. Here we have
woman with but one body, but two dis
tinct minds, borne by two separate
heads.
All the intelligent people who have
seen her can bear witness to the mar
velous intelligence which predominant
in both brains; the conversational powers
of the two heads at once in communion
with two different persons upon different
topics, wotsld sufficiently testify it. But
the marvel does not stop here; some Of
the sweetest duets in the language of
music are sung by a high soprano and
pure contralto. 1t may be added that
this extraordinary trunk has two pair of
perfect legs, terminating in symmetrical
and very pretty feet and that moving
upon their pedal extremeties, the trunk
exhibits the very poetry of motion. The
polka, the mazourka and schottische are
delncated by these two pretty pair of
feet, in perfect time and harmony. and
the spectator is rewarded not only by
one smile. as in the case Of ordinary
young ladies, but by two distinct smiles
winked at by two pair of sparkling and
rougsh eyes.
There are a lot of people here and
elsewhere always ready to strain at the
smallest gnat and swallow the biggest
camel, who will doubtless put this lady
down as outside the pale of ordinary
humanity. If this prejudice should car
ry any one so far as to avoid her they
alone will be the losers. We can testify
that no one of ordinary intelligence can
be in her company for half an hour with
out yielding to the charm of her manner
and the fascination of her double smiles
Many candid.y admit that they were fas-
cinated and Immediately lost sight
of the phenomenon and became overpow-
cred by the influence of this dual brain.
The eminent medical men of the
United States testify that this remark
able freak of nature is united at the
internal posterior portion of the pelvis,
while above that portion they are sep
arated. having separate chests, two pair
of fully developed arms, but only one
trunk. With the double head they pos
seSs separate intellectual faculties rs en-
tirely distinct as the brain power of two
different individuals, while their faces
indicate to a remarkable degree intelli-
gence of high order and great amia-
bility.

r. Glover, traffic manager, OF the sea-
board, produced figures showing that the
reduction of the rate meant loss OIL
S6 $50 in the revenues of the Carolina
Central Railroad, or s per cent reduc-
tion on its bonded Indebtedness. This
calculation was made on a basis of the
cotton movement last year.
Mr.. Glover said that the rate had been
raised ON the Raleigh and CASTOR Rail-
rood hut the increase-a bout S3O0-was
not sufficient to make up for the loss On
the Carolina Central. besides this the

were owned by different stockholders
and one should not be taxed with the
maintenance of the other.
The Carolina Central, he said, was the
noorest road in the State and could III
afford any reduction of rates. Last
veor its earnings were only S1,46O per
mile for freight and $500 for passengers.
The mart of the line from Hamlet to
Wilmington, he said, was practically
worthless, except for the shipment OF
the cotton raised along it.
In view of these facts Mr.. Glover ASK
cd that the old cotton rate be restored.
Mai Wilson, the chairman of the
Board. had hardly had time to state
that the matter would be taken up anil
decided at the regular meeting Tuesday,
when Commissioner Ohio Wilson whip
ped out his book and asked Mr.. Glover
to subscribe for the "Hayseeder." The
traffic manager promptly forked over a
paper dollar. AS the Gideon wadded
it into his purse he asked Mr.. Glover TO
send him some entertaining article on
developments in the State by the Sea
board Airline for his next issue.

its ultimate discovery is only matter of
time. 1t was in this way that DR.. r. ",
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, was guided to his
world famous Golden Medical Discovery"
for the cure of consumption.
He realized that consumption is consti-
tutional malady, deep-seated in the blood.
He sought and found this marvellous consti-
tutional remedy which renovates and en-
riches the vital current with nutritious life
giving elements healing wasted tissues,
restoring digestive and assimilative power,
and building up healthy flesh and genuine
enduring vigor.
In all those facilitating diseases which
are caused by imperfect nutrition; this ex-
traordinary Discovery" is the most per-
feet Alternative remedy and strength builder
known to medical science. II is not a
mere temporary stimulous like various
malt extracts" Its good effects are
permanent.
Where costiveness is among the prevail
ing symptoms, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets should be used in conjunction with the
Discovery"

patients" writes Mrs. Annie NJ Norman, of
Equiuunk, Wayne Co., Pa. II have taken
