A TRUE THANKSGIVING.
Remember 1t is More Blessed to Give
Than to Receive.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. Let
MIN that gives thanks remember Others
VINO are less fortunate. There can be
no more worthy objects of charity than
the orphan asylums and hospitals. Re-
member the fatherless and the sick and
af1lcted as you enjoy your abundance.
rake some gift of provisions, fruit,
groceries, money, clothing, or other arti-
Gle to Rex Hospital or the Home for
lncurables to-day. Teach the children
TO help those who are less fortunate
than themselves by carrying some gift
there. Almost any small remembrance
would be source of gratitude to these
sick and afflicted people.
1t would be beautiful custom for
the children to go to these institutions
every recurring Thanksgiving Day, TAX
ing with them such things as would add
to the comfort of the sick.
Nor should the readers of this paper
and all good people of Raleigh, who
have entertaining books to spare, forget
Mr.. Richard III. Battles suggestion.
that, on Thanksgiving Day, they give
some of these books to the little library
at the Rex Hospital Seeing the
necessity for good reading matter for
the recreation of the intelligent young
ladies' who constitute the hospital nurs-
Ing force, when off duty, and of con-
valescent patients, the managers have
ordered a few Periodicals, but the funds
OF the Hospital will not justify buying
books, except such as may be needed for
the instruction of nurses in their duties.
President Battle therefore makes an
appeal to those who appreciate this
worthy charity that they will add to its
now scant and unattractive library on
tomorrow, as Thanksgiving Offering.
The books contributed should, in part
at least, be such as are calculated to
interest those who are worried by ex-
acting and wearing employment, and
those who, recovering from spells of
sickness, need mental recreation in their
weakness.
The usual donation day at "The st,
Luke's Home for Incurables" was
omitted this month and the friends of
THE Home" are now asked to donate
literally on Thanksgiving Day. What
you wish to give for a Thanksgiving
dinner should be sent in on Wednesday,
though the managers will be glad TO re-
ceive donations either day. They would
he very grateful for bed clothes of all
kinds, as the quantity of covering now
on hand is small. Anything useful will

FOREST FIRES IN MOUNTAINS

Visitors to the city from the western
part OF North Carolina report forest
fires as raging in the mountains. Leaves
and brush are dry and the flames leap

up everything as they go. Many miles
of fences and some buildings have been
destroyed. The fire is all ever the noun

A BICYCLE THIEF CAUGHT.

A young white man was arrested Mt
Wake Forest yesterday charged with
stealing a bicycle from guest of the
hotel in Henderson. 1t seems that he
borrowed the bicycle Monday and
promised to take only short ride but
he never came back. Instead he came
on here and pawned the wheel for $40
at Wilmington street pawn shop. The
chief of police of Henderson was he-e
yesterday, but failing to find the man
here he went on to Wake Forest and
caught him.

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of
female weaknessar are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinl1ham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
In return except your good win, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, Is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
Of this generous offer of assistance.

New Civil Service Rules.

The civil Service Commission has just
issued new regulations 10 govern the ex-
amina;ions for 1895. A copy OF these rules
has just been received by Mr.. John En-
ders, Jr.. OF the local Examining Board,
and the following extract will be- read
with interest
The commission has ordero, that the
usual date for the regular semi-annusl
postOfiice. customehOuse and internal
revenue examinations for 1898 be 81
changed as 10 allow the widest possbis
use OF the first, second. and third grade
basis series OF examination questions in
all examinations OF corresponding grades.
This means that all spring examinations
for the services named will be held du-
ring the time the departmental examine
tons are being conducted. The exact
date for each service cannot be fixed ae
this time. but II is safe 10 say that all
pOstoffice. custom-house and internal

he held between March 18th and April
18th. No application for these examina-
tons will be accepted unless filed IN pro-
per form by March lst.
