DEATH OF \ GOOD MAN

Wilson, \. c., November 24-Mr. D..
p. Christman died on the 23rd instant.
and was buried this evening. For nearly
thirty years he was policeman or street
commissioner of Wilson. There has lived
no man in this communicated or poor
who had more sincere friends, and. bet
ter still. who deserved them. He was
of the bravest of the brave of those who
wore the grey; he was true to every
trust and none ever came to him in sor-
row or suffering, but that he found SYM
pathetic interest and gentle consolation
from Peter Christman las he was famil-
iarly known. He leaves wife and
five children to mourn with all our peo-
pie. his departure to the land of rest
Peace to his ashes-we shall not see his
like again

DON'T WANT JIM YOUNG'S RE
GIMENT.
Macon. Ga. Dispatch.(


When the information reached here
last night that another negro regiment
differed by negroes (the Third North
Carolina). was TO be sent .4erc from
Knoxville, there was great dissatisfac
ton expressed and the universal deci-
sion is that they will have to behave
themselves after they arrive in Macon.
From the reports which reached here
to-day, giving an account of the mutiny
among them and the killing and
wounding of several of the so-called
soldiers" at Knoxville yesterday, and
other actions of the North Carolina
regiment, it is not thought that they
are any better than the Virginia ne
groes, the whole regiment of whom are
ST.. under arrest and at hard labor, and
from them trouble is feared as the re-
suit of their coming to Macon.
1t was agreed on all hands that the
greatest trouble arises from the fact
that these two regiments are differed
by negroes, negro officers invariably
having proved a failure i'll this war, the
first in which they ever participated in
the service of the United States.
With white officers the negro troops
are not so bad, but with negroes to
command them they are worse than
bandits in some respects. They refuse
to obey officers of their own color, the
latter state, but the incompetency of
the negro officer is at the bottom of the
whole matter.

BEFORE BABY rs BORN"
A Valuable Little Book of Interest
to All Women Sent Free.

Every woman looks forward with feel
ings of JOY indescribable to the
one great event in her life, COM
pared with which all others pale into in
significance. How proud she will feel
when her babe nestles on her breast
how sweet the name of "Mother" And
yet, her anticipation of this event is
clouded with dread of the pain and dam
ger of the ordeal, SO that it is impossi-
BILE to avoid the feeling of foreboding
which creeps over her. The danger
and suffering attendant upon being n
mother can be entirely prevented, SO
that the coming of the little stranger
need not be looked forward to with fear.
Every woman who reads this, can obtain
free valuable little book entitled 'Be-
fore Baby is Born" by sending her adj
dress to the Bradfield Regulator Co.,
Atlanta, Ga. This book contains price
less information for all women, and nc
one should fail to send for it.

A COMMON SUPERSTITION.

Many people believe that the breaking
of looking glass is certain sign OF
death. The newspapers report that a
mother recently became insane after
dropping n mirror because she feared that
some of her loved ones would soon die.
There are other signs more dangerous
than this The most common is a dis
ordered stomach, which causes nervous
ness, dyspepsia, Indigestion and constipa'
ton. These symptoms tell the sufferer
that his days will be shortened unless
he gets right in his digestive organs. For
this purpose there is nothing so certain
to cure as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t regulates the bowels, steadies the
nerves and whets up the appetite 1t Is
the standard remedy. There is no sub
stitute for it.

According to Mccoy Foscue anC
Bryan, charges We're preferred against
Mccoy and his resignation was asked

and what the charges were, left theiI
uniforms and fixings at the city hall
saying they were guilty if Mccoy was
the charges being of stopping for ten
minutes inside of McSorley's and DUFF

this was nothing new and they have

Unless new men were sworn in. the
entire force last night consisted of the
chief and one colored policeman.
