Paine's Celery Compound creates
a Wholesome demand for food, and
a disordered stomach and cos
tive bowels.
For all ailments and weaknesses
that have grown out of defects of
nutrition, such as nervousness, loss
of strength, thin and pale blood, loss
OF weight and lowness of spirits,
Paine's celery compound is the legi-
innate and logical cure. It over
comes loss of nervous power and les
sened power to digest food, by gen
erously feeding the nerves and reg
ulating their action. It banishes
that continual tired feeling by cleans
ing the blood of clogging impurities,
and by stirring the kidneys and other
purifying organs to healthful activity
Paine's celery compound has cured
many and many cases of dyspepsia,
sleeplessness, disordered liver and
stomach trouble that had puzzled
physicians, and the outcome of which
seemed hopeless.
Many obstinately dyspeptic per-
sons have gotten rid of every dis
tressing symptom by it's in~vigorating
help. Grave general defects of nu-
triton that have shown themselves
in a wasted condition, weakness and
loss of strength have repeatedly
yielded to this remarkable remedy.
The worn ace that attests loss of
sleep, soon loses its haggard appear
ance as the rvo system gets
nourished by Paine's celery com
pound; the accumulation of aches
and pains vanish, the blood grows
ruddy and abundant, and the mind
shares i'll the well being felt all over
the body. Paine's celery compound
should be taken by every person

We were glad to see Mr.. and

health is so much improved.
We have had numerous inquir-
les in regard to the date of our
sale, but we will announce it IN
ample time. The good work still
goes on, and if Jethro Howell
holds out and don't contract the
matrimonial fever, it is only a
question of time when we can
supply a man with anything he
wants. from a hack number"

wave of prosperity" Our latest
acquisition is a yearliug, whose
pedigree we failed to obtain,
though we r satisfied he hasn't
the breeding our steer has. IT'S
said ''blood will tell" but if we
are to Judge him by his looks. it
would depend entirely from
which point of the compass you
approached him. From one side
you would pronounce him a Buff
Cochin, while if you were to come
up the back way, you would be
inclined to the opinion that there
was at least a trace of Barred

But it matters not, for we shall
keep him any way, and contem-

DEAR ARGUS;-While our FAIRS
mers r down in the mouth" on
account of the price of cotton,
they are making preparation for
another crop. There is one thing
which consoles them, AMI for
which we are thankful, and that
is we have no hog cholera this
year in the community, and pros
poets for a supply are good. But
like cotton, the price will not
Justify a man to raise it for mar
ket.
The matrimonial fever has as
sumed a more aggravated type,
and is now raging with fearful re-
suits, several of our young people
have fallen victims, and most
every day, a fatal termination
takes place. There is nothing
which seems to check it's spread.
Frost, and quarantine, have no
more effect than water on a duck,
and u only hope is, for it to
either wear itself out, or run out
of material. In either case the
prospects are we will have it to
"winter."
Mr. John Davis and Miss Mary
Porter, were married at Daniels
Chapel last Wednesday. The at
PENDANTS we're Mr.. Jethro Howell
and Miss Carrie Becton, Mr. Geo.
Davis and Miss Mamie Russ.
After the ceremony, the bridal
party returned to the home of the
groom, and partook of an elegant
supper. Mr.. and Mrs. Davis have
many friends in The Fork who
wish them smooth sailing over
life's ocean, and all the joy and
happiness this world affords.
On Sunday last, at Spring Hill
church, Mr.. Joe Collier and Miss
Matilda Johnson, daughter of Mr..
Aaron Johnson, we're united in
the holy bonds of wedlock, by
Esq. A. L. Swinson. Elder Dan'l.
Davis was expected, but failed to
put in his appearance till the
ceremony was over. The attend
ants were Mr.. Ben Sasser an6
Miss Ellen Thompson, Mr.. Lewis
Pool and Miss Carrie Fender. We
wish them much happiness anc
long lives of usefulness and pros
perity.
Mr.. Toby Howell is moving
into his new honse to-day. Whel

houses built, he will have a very
pretty home. We are glad indeed
to see evidences of his prosper

Disappointment.

Wilmington Messenger.
Raleigh, N. c., Dec. 6.
Conference adjourned at 11:3O
o'clock to-day, the closing and
exciting part being the reading
of the appointments. All along
through the conference session
less information as to the ap-
poinSments was known than ever
before. It was all guess work
with all preachers and laymen.
save the presiding elders, and of
course there were many surprises
and disappointments.
Below I give you the appoint
ments.
[ see some papers state it is
likely DR.. Kilgo will be trans
ferred and take work with the
general board of education.
There is not the shadow of truth
in this statement. I never knew
the conference more united on
Trinity College in my life than
now, and the fact that DR.. Kilgo
led the delegation to the general
conference shows that conference
is with him in his heroic work
for Christian education.

L L. MALLARD DEAD.

The death of Mr.. L. l.. NAL
lard occurred Sunday afternoon
at his home in Wallace, surround
ed by his loving family and dear
est friends, who had watched
with tender solicitude over his
bedside for the short while that
he had been sick.
The announcement Of his death
will be read with regret by all
who knew him. He was genteel,
kind and courteous and his
friends. we're numbered through
out the wide scope Of his &C
quaintanceS. He was best known
to the public as a staunch busi-
ness man and his mild DISPOSE
ton and afable manner were
continually brought to notice by
those with whom he had deal
ings, He was an enterp1ising
citizen and the community in
which he lived will long mourn
his death. His heart was given to
God when quite a young man
and he connected himself with
the Presbyterian church. He
never lost the faith or turned his
face from Zion, but died
in the full hope of the Resurrec-
ton and life everlasting. He was
at all times consplcuously connect
ed with the work of his church and
lust before he was confined to his
bed he gave an order to this Office
for a blank record book, for his
church, which he said he would
have to pay for himself. This one
act is characteristic of the life that
he led. When his services were
needed he did not hesitate and when
his money was needed he gave that
just as cheerfully.

The Haverhill Gazette, now in the
front rank of newspapers, stands for
the journalistic ability of one man.
John B. Wright impressed his
strong personality on the paper from
the day that he secured control.
His accurate sense of news and
steady Judgment of men and events
has built up the Hayerhill Gazette
to its present newspaper leadership
of northern Massachusetts.
Editor Wright's long and bril-
liant work on the Boston Herald, as
chief of department. of Especial
writer's" has all been utilized in the
building up of this successful news
paper. It will surprise no one that
getting out a big newspaper, like the
Gazette, morning aftermorning, and
year after year, in the heat and
smoke of fierce political conflicts,
should entail great mental and phys
zeal strain.
%lncessant work told on Editor
Wright: but because he made use at
once of Paine's Celery Compound,
he is to-day fully restored to his old
time ~forceful. vigorous habit of mind
and body. He says of this great
remedy:

ure- that [ bear testimony to the
beneficial results which almost inva-
rlably follow the use Of that king OF
all remedies-Paine's Celery Com
pound. AS a tonic, free from dele
FERROUS material, it has, to my way
of thinking, no equal. This remedy
is a positive boon to all nerve
wrecked men of business. I unhes-
ltatingly commend it to all persons
who are, as I was, thoroughly worn
out. Very truly yours,

Rev. j. G. johnson has been
assigned to the Mt. Oliye circuit.
Mr.. Johnson was pastor of the
Clinton circuit last year, the
members of this circuit will un-
doubtedly be pleased with this
appointment. Mr.. johnson has
the reputation of being an able
minister. The ARGUS Bureau ex-
tends its congratulations to the
Mt. Olive circuit for having been
so fortunate as to receive the ap-
%pointment of Mr.. Johnson. W.
understand he will not take
charge Of this circuit until about
the first of January.

ing tortured by scald head, eczema and
skin eruptions. DeWitt's Witch Hazel

About five thousand bales of
cotton have been marketed at our
market this season, the prices
have been very low, but they will
compare favorably with the prices
given in much larger towns.
While our present weigher has
worked hard for this cotton mar
ket, he acknowledges that the
ARGUS has had much to do with
this market receiving cotton from
a distance and in many instances
from near much larger towns,
Christmas will soon be bere.
Remember that J. r. Smith will
be headquarters for holiday
goods.
Mr.. Hampton Kornegay, the son

in attempting to unchoke it with his
left hand it was caught by the
saws and lacerated in a fearful
way. Drs. j. w. Kornegay and
l.. p. Aaron, were summoned in
haste and by their skill it is hoped
amputation may be averted. Gen
orally speaking it is gross Careless
ness, and the number of accidents
that are daily happening should
serve as a lesson to the careless
ginner. Mr.. Hampton's many
friends are glad to know that be
is getting along SO we'll, and all
hope that he may soon regain the
use of his lacerated hand.
