During the early part Of December Presi-
dent Mckinley and several members Of his
cabinet took a trip through the south. hav-
ing been formally invited to attend the
peace jubilee at Atlanta. Ga. The Presi-
dent received a most enthusiastic greeting
from the people all along the line of his
journey. In the cities especially the great
est efforts were made 10y iue peoi,., 20
show their appreciation of the honor which
had been conferred upon them.
The President was thoroughly impressed
with the sincerity and hearIiness of the
demonstrations. and in response, in a few
welI-choseu remarks. did more To heal up
sectional animoslties existing between the
north and south than had been accom-
pIiShed in all the years since the civil war.
He told them that he hOnored the men
who had lest their lives fighting for what
they thought was the right. He said he
thought the government of the United
States should show its respect for the
valOr of the dead heroes of the south by
taking care of their graves in the same
manner it did Of its own hero dead. His
remarks were not only hailed with the
widest enthusiasm throughout the south,
hut awakened responsive chord in he
hearts Of the people Of the north as well.
He alluded feelucly TO the patriotic re-
Spouse of tho southern people TO the call
for volunteers TO fight in the war with
Spain. He was accompanied on his trip by
General Joseph Wheeler, and the presence
of these two men. who at one time Rad
been opposing soldiers. hut who now stood
side by side with the old flag, aroused the
patriotism of the whole country as it per
haps never had been aroused before.
Earlier in the fan the President, with
several members of his cabinet, paid a
visit TO Omaha exposition, taking in sev-
erai of the large cities Of the west on his
journey out and back. His reception was
most cordial and his remarks everywhere

We live In a country of which the
principal scourge is stomach-trouble.
It is more widespread than any Other
disease, and, very nearly, more danger
GUS.
One thing that makes it SO danger.
GUS is that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would
be more feared, more easily cured, less
universal than 1t is now.
So, those who wish to be cured. take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it
goes to the root of the trouble as no
other medicine does. The pure, harm
less, curative herbs and plants, OF which
it is composed, are what render it SO
certain and, at the same time, SO gen.
tie cure.
It helps and strengthens the stomach,
purifies and tones up the system.

WHIrAKERs, n. c., March q '9S.
Quite a large crowd attended the
dedicatory services at the NJ P. church
on Sunday morning. Rev. w. A.
Bunch preached a fine sermon, after
which, in very impressive manner,
the church was dedicated.
A tramp and drunken negro were
arrested Wednesday charged with dis
orderly conduct on the streets. They
were tried and fined each five dollars
and costs, in default OF which, they
were put to work on the streets. After
working half day the tramp got a
chance and skipped, whereupon the
negro grew obstinate and refused to
work any more aud had to be locked
up. He, however, paid into the treasury
the required amount next morning
and was discharged.
Mr.. Woodland (our constable) it seems
grew tired of -blessedness and con-
cluded that he must maryland to
give the event the spice of romance,
without acquaint1ng any one Of the
conclusion at which he had arrived,
on Thursday morning, Con pretext OF
urgent business) he left for Nashville,
taking with him Mrs. Flonnie Bobbitt
CHS bride that was to beg and at 4
O'Clock they were married. They
reached home that night about 9
o'clock. We wish them much happi-
ness.
The A, G. L. detective arrested two
men last week for train robbery-Geo.
Hanna Zone of the men1 turned state
evidence. He stated that band OF
five was organized in '96 with Henry
Mitchell (colored) as captain. He said
that they would 60 up to Weldon and
get In the car under the shed and put
what things they wanted near the door
and when the train passed the large
trestle about mile below here, they
would shove them off, and Mitchell
would be there with cart and take
them to his house, and they would get
off at BattIeboro, come back to Mitch
ellis and divide the spoils. The trial
took place Saturday. The railroad was
represented by Mess. Bum and Sherrod
and the defendants by Mess. Battle and
Thorne. While one of the witnesses
was being examined there being large
crowd in the room, Geo. Hanna, the
main man, slipped out and made his
escape. The others were taken tC
