One may be as a weed of the

sea, out of sight of land.
After 40, men have married
their habits, and wives are only
an item in the list, and not the
most important.
The hero of two women must

Whether a woman loves a mar

A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION.

Rolls, mullins, biscuits, cakes,
etc, now generally made by the
aid of baking powders, enter SO
largely into our daily food that
their debasements by the intro
duction of injurious substances
is a matter of serious concern to
the public health. What baking
powders shall we use to protect
ourselves against the danger
from alum, and to insure pure,
sweet, wholesome and nutritious
food, is a question of vital i'm
portance for consideration in
every household.
1t is a fact that a large percen-
tage of the baking powders sold
form many grocery store is made
from poisonous burnt alum. There
is no mark to designate it, ane
both grocer and purchaser are
unaware of it's dangerous char.
acter.
But alum baking powders:
which spoil sc quickly that the,
must be sold in glass bottles, be
sides being unhealthful, are un
reliable for leavening purposes
They lose their strength almos
upon the opening of the bottle
and fail to make light biscuits
bread and cakes.
Every one has suffered disor-
ders arising from food made wit,
alum baking powders. It is like
wise believed by physicians tina
to the absorption of alum into til
blood are due many of those oh
scure nervous diseases from whic
) people suffer.
Safety from alum and kindre
Injurious adulterants will be as
sured by the use of Royal Bakin
. Powder. It is free from alum an
absolutely pure. It adds positiyel
, anti-dyspeptic properties to Il
food, and is recommended (

its .healthful qualities. Besides,
will retain it's full leavenil

A SERIOUS CHARGE

A most serious charge has been
made, and suit instituted in New
bern, against Robert Hancock,
president of the A. & n. G. r. R,
which if sustained in the courts
will eensign him to internal in
fanny.
He denies the charge in toto;
and therefore the truth of the al
legation, which charges him with
the grossest immortality, is not
within the province of rumor to
determine; but should be formal
ly passed upon by a Jury; and il
he be guilty let the full measure
of justice-so far as it be posi-
BILE for human Justice to be dealt
out for such a crime, be meted
to him.
Until the court passes upor
the relative truth Of the young
woman's charge and the defend
ants absolute denial, as we have
said. it is not the province O.
rumor to pass upon the facts,
Il the charge is sustained, the
citizens of Newbern, without re-
gard to party, color or class, will
doubtless see to it that this mar
walk 40 more among them, ant

In memory of Mrs. Julia M.
Gurley. who went to sleep in
Jesus on Wednesday night, De-
cember 29th, 1897. aged fifty
three years and fifteen days,
these lines are most afectionate-
ly inscribed.
Truly words are inadequate to
express the noble endowments Of
our Southern women; of the true.
old>fashioned type, and such a
one was she of whom these lines
are written. She was one Of
three sisters of A. L. Sasser,
ESQ.,. who married Nestus Fl
Gurley, a favorite Fork town
ship boy, during the war, he
having returned, honorably dis
charged from the G. S. service.
and with whom she lived for
thirty-three years, possessing all
the noble qualities of wife and
mother. sharing his Joys and
sorrows, and having five child
rem, two. daughters and three
sons by him, who with the the
bereaved husband and father are
left to mourn, with her many
friends and relatives her great
loss. OF her it can be truly said:
"Nona knew her but to loye her;
none named her but to praise"
AS the good old year was
waning, her sweet life was eb-
bling, and at the close Of '97 her
spirit had entered Heaven. Let
us all follow her noble example,
and when our lives last work is
done, we a crown of glory will
have won.
Especially would we ask her
children and ours to do as she
has done. and they, too, will be
sorely missed when they enter
the glory laud.
She was a consistent member
of the M. E. church, of Pine For
est, and though a victim of heart
failure for years, she bore her
trouble with that fortitude, char
a~cteristic in the true Christian,
till death claimed her for his own.
Her funeral services we're con-
