Heber City, Utah. April T. 1Ss7.-We
are never without a bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla in our house. for no other
medicine can take IT'S place as a blood
purifier and health restorer. We have
taken it in the spring months, and we
find that good health is the general re-
suit. My aged grandparents have used
it for years and would not be without
it.-Minnie Murdoch.
Hoods Pills are the favorite family

GoLDSBORO WATER.

The water used to supply the city of
Goldsboro i being examined TO ascertain
if it is the cause of some cases of fever
which have occurred there of late. The
State Board of Health have taken the
matter in hand and are now having a
chemical analysis made of the water. The
samples were taken with the greatest
care. DR.. Thomas, of Wilmington, presi-
dent of the Board of Health, DIR. Ander-
SON, of Wilson, biologist of the board, and
Col. A. w. Shaffer, sanitary engineer,
went to Goldeboro, and Col. Shaffer took
samples at different points Of the water
and turned them over to the biologist, DIR.
Anderson. who is Analysing them now at
Wilson. Until this is complete none Of
the board will express an opinion concern
ing the matter. They are exercising great
diligence and the cause of the fever, il
it comes from the water, will be discov-
cred if pains and care can accomplish
this.
A gentleman who is familiar with the
water system at Goldsboro says that he
thinks the trouble arises from the water
after it is drawn from the pipes at the
houses. He says Goldsboro has water
works, but no sewerage system, which, in
his opinion, is worse than no water works.
The fever according to his statement, ex-
lists in families where the water is not
taken, as well as where it is used. The
water looks as pure as any water to the
naked eye.

w. f. POSTOFFICE.

The office Of postmaster at Wake
Forest has been bone of contention ever
since the campaign closed. Indeed the
fight has been SO hot for the place that
DR.. w. G. Landlord, the present in
cumbent, whose term expired in April,
still holds the place. The leading candi-
dates are Mr. John Jones, brother of
Sheriff Jones, young man name Hall,
who graduated from Wake Forest last
June, and Mrs. Timberlake, the mother
OF Judge Timberlake. A gentleman who
has taken a prominent part in the fight
is authority for the statement that Sena-
tor Pritchard says that this little place
has given him more trouble than any Of
fee in the State, and the fact that the
Senator continues to postpone the matter
lends color to the assertion. 1t seems
that Senator Pritchard promised Judge
Timberlake last winter that his mother
should have the place and he finds it
difficult to get around his pledge, al
though he dislikes to have candidate
appointed, who is not endorsed by the
Republicans of the county.
Mr. John Jones had the endorsement
of the leading citizens Of the place, while
some of the Republicans were behind
Mr.. Hall. However, from information
received yesterday it appears that Mrs.
Timberlake will get the plum in spite
Of opposition unless things take a de-
cidedly different turn.

DIVINE HEALING
A WELL KNOWN RALEIGH CITIZEN WRITES
OF HIS EXPERIENCE.
Mr.. S. NJ. Richardson, Who Was at Death S
Door Attributes His Restoration to Health
to Divine Healing.

One of the best men in Raleigh is Mr.
S. NJ. Richardson, who lives at 120 East
Hargett street. He was forced some
years ago to abandon active business
because of i'll health, and his friends
thought his end was near. In this
weeks Christian Advocate we find the
following from his pen:
81 have been thinking for some time
that l would write for publication what
the good Lord has done for me in re-
storing my health, after being down
so long time. l was confined to my bed
for nearly a year, with what the doctors
thought and said was an incurable kid
ney affection, with all accompanying
complications. l was treated by the
best physicians at home; also I went to
the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore,
where my case was diagnosed by thei-
best talent, and / was told that there
was no cure for me.
THAT was September, 1896, and
came home fully resolved to take no more
medicine but to trust him who has prom
Used to heal all our diseases.
"On the 25th day of November I went
to the Simpson faith home or home of
divine healing, New York, reaching
there on Thursday. Thanksgiving day,
and on the next day l was anointed for
healing (see James, 5:14-16). Then and
there 1 accepted the Lord for my healer,
and / have been gradually improving
ever since, except last Christmas l expos
ed myself in the severe cold weather. and
had the grip and was confined to my bed
about 10 days. Since that time / have
been improving all the time. My health
is better to-day than it has been in five
years. / haven't taken one drop of med
icine in nearly ten months, don't need
any, and praise the Lord / could not be
induced to take any under any consider
alton.
II have taken the Lord for my justifier.
my sanctifier, my healer and my coming
King. / find all in Him that need both
for the soul and body. Now / write this
for His glory and not for my own; for I
feel that / am a poor unworthy servant,
and do not deserve all these blessings.
"Yours saved and divinely healed.

THREE NOBLE SOLDIERS.
Mr.. RandalPs Magnificent Painting May
be Presented During the Fair.

Mr.. Randalls Magnificent Painting May
be Presented During the Fair.
For sometime Mr.. w. G. Randall has
been painting life size portrait Of three
of North Cardinals noblest Confederate
veterans, General Zebulon B. Vance,
Col. Harry Burgwyn and Col. John
Lane. These officers are represented
upon the battle field. They seem to be
consulting while mass of troops fill the
back ground. Gen Vance stands ON the
left, Col. Burgwyn in the center and
Col. Lane on the right. The picture is
not yet complete, but it bids fair to be
one of Mr.. Randalrs best and no high
er praise is needed.
| The conception of the picture is excel
| lent and three worthier Confederates
could not have been chosen. Col. Bur-
gwyn was killed at Gettysburg and Col.
Lane was desperately wounded in an
enga cement. The ball penetrated his
neck and passed through his mouth.
| Col. w. III. s. Burgwyn, of Henderson,
and Col. John Lane, of Chatham county,
are having the picture painted with the
intention of presenting it to the State
library where it will be without doubt
the most striking picture in the library
collection.
Mr.. r. III. Battle. president of the
State Fair Association, said yesterday
! that arrangements were being made to
have the portrait presented to the library
during the Fair week. This will be for
tunate as the picture should be presented
in the presence of as many Confederate
veterans as possible. If these plans
ma terialize it will doubtless be placed on
exhibition at the fair.
| If the picture is presented during the
Fair the speech of presentation will be
delivered on Wednesday by Mr. John
Burgwyn MacRae, a first cousin of Col
! Harry Burgwyn.

REMOVAL OF CAPITOL FENCE.
The Aldermen Will Consider This and
Other Important Questions.

| Several matters of Importance to the
people of Raleigh will engage the atten-
ton of the aldermen at their regular
monthly meeting this evening. A resolu-
ton will be introduced by Chairman
Drewry Of the street committee express
ing the sense of the board on the question
of removing the fence around the capitol
square This will be the first official step
towards removing this barrier to the
beauty of the square. The resolution will
merely point out some of the advantages
lin this change and ask Governor Russell.
Auditor Aver and Secretary Thompson.
who constitute the committee on public
grounds, to consider the question. If
there is any opposition TO the resolutions
among the aldermen it is not known.
The question of selling on Sunday will
come before the board again. Alderman
Parrish will introduce an amendment to
the present ordinance to allow milk and
ice to be sold on Sunday. He says that
he does not consider the amendment
necessary, because as he interprets it the
sale of these articles is not prohibited
now, but the amendment will be intro
duced that the present ordinance may be
perfectly clear. This will doubtless be the
subject of lively debate, since some Of
the aldermen who oppose the present or
dinance threaten to propose amendments
which will carry it to an extreme and
thus attempt to render it absurd.
A matter of great interest will be res
olution in regard to the expenditure CT
the $4,000 for street improvements which
the people of Raleigh will doubtless vote
next Tuesday. This resolution will pre-
scribe that the money shall be placed in
the hands of the city treasurer and kept
| by him as a separate and distinct fund,
and no money shall be paid from this
fund except for warrants for street
work. These warrants must also be APP
proved by the proper authority showing
that they are in settlement for work on
the streets. This will meet the one ar
gument advanced by the opponents Of the
bonds to the effect that the money may
not be used exclusively for work on the
streets.
| petition may be presented from some
of the saloon-keepers asking that the hour
for closing be extended from IL p m. to
! II. Alderman Parrish says that if the pc
| tition is granted then he will consider
himself released from his agreement not
to vote for any further restrictive regu-
lations on the saloons. He does not think
the petition will be granted.
| At the last session of the board an or
dinance was introduced, and afterwards
withdrawn, giving power to suspend po-
licemen and appoint their successors.
directly to the police committee.
This will not be re-introduced but new
regulations will be adopted, and among
the changes will be the election of two
police captains from the force to assist
the chief of police.

There is only one mail by which they can

arrives at 1874 in the afternoon, and they
cannot return the same day. This
train would arrive about 10 a. m. and
leave Raleigh about p. m. The Whining

of much benefit to Raleigh if the road
can establish this train again.
