Bradstreets Review says that In
spite OF the less active trade Of Oc-
tober, due to yellow-fever scares,
guarantees, etc., the aggregate total
for that month was greater than even
September's immense total, marking
the heaviest months total since Jan
uary, 1893. 1t may be remembered,
that Mr.. Bryan, on cool October

of the Mckinley administration was
the most disastrous In the history OF

One Of the great states Of the West,
essentially Republican, yet much dis
turbed OF late years by false political
teachers and visionary experiments

ity, enlightened progress and proved

IL belongs, and will receive hearty
welcome in the Republican colu mn
The margin by which Kansas left 1t,

FRESH SUPPLIES OF VITALITY

FRESH SUPPLIES OF VITALITY
To renew a waning stock may be gather
ed from a source accessible to all, and
never sought in vain by any whose con-
stitution and vigor are not SO much dilap-
idated as to be wholly past repairing.
Evidence direct, convincing and ample,
indicates Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as
as a tonic of unexampled efficacy and
perfect purity, and possessed of proper
ties that constitute it an invaluable rem
edy for dyspepsia, constipation, liver
complaint, urinary and urine weakness,
rheumatic complaints and malarial fever.
Delicate females and infrm old persons
are invigorated and soIaced by it, and the
physical prostration which usually fol-
lows a severe illness in a great degree
remedied, and convalescence accelerated
through its use. 1t occupies leading
position among medicinal staples.

FOURTH OF JULY EDITION.

Every patriotic American has remem-
bered all through the fuss and feathers
attendant on Queen Victoria's jubilee
that Uncle Sans annual jubilee was
nearly at hand. The Sunday News and
Observer has borne it in mind and will
get out special 4th of July number con-
tanning many brilliantly illustrated
features. While nearly the whole world
has been tickled to death at being tied
to a Queens apron strings, Americans
are going to celebrate the fact that their
forefathers denied themselves the pleas
ure of contributing to the gaiety of ma
tons. Here are some Of the features you
can expect next Sunday, which, to the
grief of the small boy, is the 4th of
July:
"THE FAIRY OF THE FIRE
CRACKERS'-Is a brilliant illustration
that is sure to please. In pretty verse it
is related how patriotism is the glory of
our girls.
''THE FIRST FOURTH OF JULY"
This feature is worthy of special men
ton Usually newspaper illustrations
are drawn in a few hours, but whole
week was put in by Mr.. Harold Brown,
the Century artist, in turning this out.
Every detail is historically correct, while
the title, 'The Nations Birthday" is a
revelation in black and white.
"OUR AMERICAN GIRL IN
PEACE AND WAR."-This is a SUI
perb art work for this newspaper by
Mr.. Trowbridge, the leading artist of the
country, whose work has attracted such
favorable comment The enterprise of
this newspaper in placing before its read
ers the same class of illustrations as APP
pear in the New York Herald will, we
have no doubt, be appreciated.
"THE SUMMER GIRLS FIRE

of miss in rain Of golden fire.
"OLD GLORY WAVES TRIUM-
PLANT. A story of the American flag
that will stir the blood.
"THE DAY WE CELEBRATE

forth facts that should be remembered
by every American.
NOVELTIES IN FIREWORKS."-
The small boy will be delighted at find
ing so many new instruments of torture.
A committee of fathers will probably pc
tition to suppress this article, but we
know our duty and will publish it.
DEDICATION TO SCIENCE"

article describing the wonderful new tele-

WILL VICE-PRESIDENT
ST. JOHN RESIGN?
Reported That He Will Leave The Sea-
board for the Canadian Pacific
Surveying a New Road.

A Norfolk paper prints rumor to the
effect that Mr.. Il. st. John, vice-presi-
dent of the Seaboard Air Line, will soon
sever his connection with that road to
accept a better place on the Canadian
Pacific Railroad.
This, if true, is greatly to be regretted.
Mr.. st. John is easily the best railroad
man in the South. He took charge Of
the Seaboard when it was almost in the
hands of a receiver and has not only
made it one of the best and most pros
porous railways in the South, but he has
built up and developed the section
through which it runs until it blossoms
as the rose.
1t is therefore greatly to be hoped that
the report is untrue. 1t is understood
that Mr.. st. John has a contract with
the SeabOard under which it is bound
to retain him five years if he cares to
stay. 1t is not known whether they
have a similar contract with him or
not.
The Railroad Commission has been
informed that it is proposed to make an
extension of the Suffolk and Carolina
railroad to Edenton. Engineers are now
making preliminary surveys from Ry-
land station to Edenton, which distance
is fourteen miles air line and about
seventeen miles where the track will run.
The estimates will be ready in a few
weeks, and work ON the construction will
likely be commenced in the fall. The
extension means much for EdentOn and
Eastern North Carolina.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1T may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
tiers improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton, and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
so cents or $1.00 per bottle at any drug
store.

About Water.

Nature has supplied us with remedy
for every disease. Many of the RENE
dies are found in roots. herbs and barks,
and to effect cures the medicinal prop
critics must be extracted and put into
concentrated form, and then properly
compounded.

very best medicines in water, common.

the best of these is the famous OTTER
