NORTH CAROLINA SOCIETY EN-.
TERTAINMENT.
washington Post.)

The North Carolina Society had a So
cial and literary meeting last night at
Confederate Veterans Hall, Eleventh
and + streets northwest. A short but
thoroughly enjoyable programme was
rendered, after which refreshments were
served. President General w. r. Cox
introduced DR.. Thomas Calver, Miss J..
Anderson, and Mr.. n. E. Vowels. DIR.
Calver recited an original poem, Miss
Anderson gave a Texas sketch, and Mr.
Novels created no end of laughter by a
clever imitation of an old negro preacher
DR.. Gatling, inventor of the Calling
gun, was unanimously elected to hon
orary membership. He made a short
speech in reply and was vigorously APP
plauded. The addition of the name gave
the society 100 members, number
which it expects to double soon. 1.-The
Old North State" was sung standing,
led by Misses Jennie Hayward and Lula
Hester. The entertainment committee
consisted of President Cox, Vice-Presi-
dent Mrs. Marion Butler, Miss Edna
Bishop, Mrs. w. G. Murphy, and Mr.
Duncan Hayward.

CONSISTENCY.

There is always something touching in
the resignation shown
When men bear their country's burdens
all forgetful of their own.
1t seems "a little less than martyrdom--
the way that they explain
That, though the salary is small, they are
not here for gain.
There isn't any doubling that man is
truly great
When he'll slight his private business to
accept place of state.
Let not the scoffer dare his light disdain-
full voice to raise.
That patriot never falters in self-sacr-
ticing ways.
And as the weary years pass on, you'll
find him ready still
TO give the nations service all his ener-
gy and skill.
He claims no reciprocity. He very sell
dom cares
TO slight public office for his personal
affairs.

the long run dependent upon a sound
mind in a sound body. The man who is
too busy with his business to spare a mo-
ment to look after his health, will eventu-
ally lose both health and business. A man
may be in too big hurry. The man who
would be permanently successful should
take time to eat, time to digest his food,
time to sleep, and time to look after the
most precious endowment-his health
DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is

Thousands have testified to the benefits
derived from its use. Druggists sell it.

medicines and have received a great deal of
benefit from them" writes Urban Howell, ESQ

six bottles of Golden Medical Discovery and it
