Several months ego Miss Cora Wa
trous, the Is year old daughter OF Mr.
I O. WatrOus. a locomotive fireman,
of 81 Clarion Street, Bradford, Pa,
was seized with a nervous disorder,
which threatened to end her life. Inc
first symptom of the ailment was q lCas
of appetite. For some little time MISS
WatrOus had no desire to eat and com
planned of a feeling of extreme 1assl
tude. This was followed by severe
pains in the head. For three weeks the
Young lady was nearly crezed with 8
terrible headache and nothing could be
procured to give her relief.
Finally after trying numerous RENE
dies. q DhY stefan Yves called and began
treating the patient. He said the r
bic was caused By Impoverished blood,
but after several weeks Of his treat
ment the young lady 8 condition had
not improved and the parents decided
to procure the services OF another phy-
stefan. In the meantime, Miss Watrous'
nervousness had increased, he pains
in her head had grown more severe and
the sufferers parents had almost given
up hope of her recovery.
It was at this time that Mr.. Watrous
heard of DR.. Williams PINK Pills for
Pale People. He found that the pills
were highly recommended for nervous
disorders and concluded to give them a
trial. A box of the pills was purehast d
and before they had ell BEEN taken
there was a marked improvement in
the girls condition. After q half dozen
boxes had been uged, the young lady'e
appetite had returned, the pain IN her
head had ceased and she was stronger
THAI at any time previous to her i'll
ness.

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires q con
s%titutional treatment. Halls Oatarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing it's work. The ]proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

OUTLAW LARGE.
W. Fl. WORTH, State Treasur

Rube NCCrimmon Evades and Cehes
Richmond County c Ulcers.
Many indeed are the crimes on &C
count of which a price has been put on
the head of Rube McCrimmon, both In
this State and South Carolina. A very
angel of the lower regions, his foul
mind has never been able to concOct a
diabolical scheme Of crime that his
hands were not ready to execute.
Wherever he goes the mention Of his
name is a terror. Always we'll armed
to the teeth, he is ever ready to add an
other crime to the long list that follows
his name.
For the last few weeks the neighbor
hood around Hasty and Johns Station
has been the bandits haunt and, think
ing that the officers did not know of
his Whereabouts, he felt little fear OF
capture. In thinking that the officers
were not on his track, though, he was
taken, for Sheriff W. D. McL8urin has
been watching his every move. Last
Wednesday q posse was organized and
beaded by Mr.. McLaurin, they started
out to capture the outlaw. The officers
succeeded in getting within about one
hundred yards of the brigand while he
was at work on the edge Of a swamp.
Always on the alert, though, Returned
and saw them coming toward him. In
a moment he had his rife and was
ready to open the battle, but seeing
that they were too many for him, he
sought safety in flight and turned to
run. As he dashed into the swamp,
Sheriff McLaurin and Mr. J. G. Ray
both fired on him, a bullet from Mr.,
McLaurin's pistol striking him on the
arm and q load of shot from Mr.. Rays
gun taking effect in his shoulder. But
this did not stop Rube and he was o
beyond their reach, saving his ammu
milton for a better chance.
Again Saturday morning the posse
tried to capture him and succeeded in
finding him in his house and in bed,
but his wife was watching and, as soon
IS she gave the alarm, the outlaw,
wounded as he was, grabbed his gun
and made Gcross the field, before the
officers could get near enough for their
shots to take effect.
Though it would seem that his wounds
are serious, the outlaw sWears that he
will not give up and will never be taken
alive. He is we'll armed with q Win
chester rifle and a good belt Of pistols
but is saving his shots for close range.
He has SEM word to the fiji GERS that if
they capture him they will have to
kill him and he will never die alone.
There is no doubt that he intends to
make good his word and it is to be
hoped that The eff GERS will be careful
to allow the outlaw no chance 10 carry
out his threat. -Laurinburg Exchange.

TO DEALERS IN PIANOS AND
ORGANS.
RALEIGH. n. G.. MAY Is, 1897.

N. u, May 10, 1877.
GENTLEMEN Nearly all licenses
issued to dealers in pianos and organs
under the laws Of 1893 and 1895 have
expired, and but few have been re
newed Under the new law Of 1897,
SO far, but few licenses have been
issued. This is to 8 pGctfully remind
all dealers IN pianos and organs, in this
State, thas section rs Of the Revenue
Act of 1897 imposes a license tax of
$40 ten dollars on each style Of in
strument sold or offered for sale in the
State, and makes it a misdemeanor to
sell or offer for sale any such instru-
ments without ~lic5nee, and imposes a
fine OF 800, a penalty of 5000 besides a
term Of imprisonment not to exceed
thirty days, for violation of the law.
While this law is q part O. the stat
utes, it is my duty TO ooIlect this license
tax, and to save time and trouble and
the payment Of the fine and penalty, l
hereby notify all dealers that they
must comply with this law. This
license tax must be paid.
Enclosed I hand you a copy Of section
&c of the Revenue Act, please read it
carefully. It ia plain. You need not
migunderstand it. It was drawn by
Hon. F. I. Osborne, ex Attorney Gen
eral, who was before the Finar c. Com
mittee representing the piano and
organ dealers, and for this reason, if
for no other, the dealers should not
hesitate to pay the license. Please send
in at once the name by which each sepa-
rate style or class is designated, with
ten dollars for each. Also give the
name and address Of dealer or agent il
whose name the license is to be issued,
and the license will be forwarded at
once. If the law is not plain to you,
do not hesitate to ask me any question.
I am here to serve and desire TO under
stand and be understood.
Respectfully,
". a WORTH, State Treas.

It happened long ago in a western
mining town. There wasn't a preacher
in the place and when an exceeding
raw young man and woman desired to
get married the services Of the police
Judge were called. He had never had
any experience in that branch Of his
authority, but with true western enter
prise he agreed to tackle the j)b, and
the culprits were brought before him.
STAND up" he said, as they seated
themselves, and they stood up.
'Come forward to the bar of jus
tice," " he continued with a prompous
effort, and they came.
Guilty or not guilty Z" he asked as
they stood before him holding hands.
Guilty, your honor" responded the
groom.
us this your first ofensei"
1T is, your honor, so help me-"
"Well there's nothing to do but i'm
pose a life sentence en- both Of you and
assess the groom for the cost"
How much, your honor3" asked the
groom, going down into his pockets.
Ten dollars"
The groom handed it over.
Case, is dismissed" announced the
judge, and the innocent young things
marched u of the room as radiant as
a June morning when the sunlight
kisses the roses until they blush
again.
