They Always Forge to the Front and Are
Anxious 60 WORK.
In any great emergency like this the
women of the United States always
forge TO the front, anxious to do such
work as lies i'll their power.
How many lives were saved By their
careful and tender nursing during the
civil war nobody will ever be able to
compute. Ihat the we've 0? infiiAte
service, however, and that they were as
brave and self sacrificing as the troops
IN the field goes without saying.
And now they are anticipating the
horrors of "a war with Spain and Of
fering themselves as nurses for the hos
pitfalls which may be needed. They
ask no pay, but only the opportunity to
wear the Red Cross and to do the work
which the badge indicates. They are be-
ing accepted in large numbers in New
York and are attending lectures which
explain the duties they will be- called
upon to perform. A soldier will fight
with all the more courage if he knows
that he will be properly cared for when
wounded. New York Herald.

force, but the capture Of some port in
which garrison might be placed suffi-
GENTLY large to hold it against the
Spaniards. The sending Of a largo torce
to Cuba is regarded as difficult prob
lem. In the first place, it would not be
easy to transport it, and in the second
place it would not ba easy to land il
under the onemy's fire.
"If port like MataDzas, Tor instance,
should be taken, arms and ammunition
coult. be furnished TO the insurgents,
and food in unlimited quantities could
be landed and distributed to them undsr
cover of our guns. BY this means, ac-
cording to the talk in Washington, the
suiferings Of the reconceItrados could
be relieved. while the Spanish, owing
to the blockade, would soon be without
provisions, and Havana would be COM
PEELED to surrender. It is believed tina.
the Teconcertrsdos can be fed only in
some such way as this, rs, of course, oil
supplies falling into the hands of The
Spanish would be appropriated by them
to their own Use il war, and they would
have q perfect right 10 take them. -

A breaking down of the nervous system"
Is n modern expression,-a modern COM
plant. IL is induced by prolonged strain
and the overtaxing of the nervous system,
and is a product Of over hurry and hustle.
IL affects the preacher and the lawyer-the
direct result Of brain tire. Ii affects people
in any walk Of life, too, who worry and fret.
It means depicting Of the nerve forces.
1t is durable by complete rest and change
Of scene, also by the use of nerve restoratiyes
and nerve foods. As the first method is not
within the reach Of all, the latter offers
the most universal and practical method
Of treating the complaint. When il is de-
termined that medicine is 10 be used, Sc
lect that one which contains the most nerve
nourishing properties. Do not take nerve
tonics.e They only stimulate, and the reaction
leaves you worse than You were before.
Select the medicine that is 20 the nerves
what meat is to- the body-one that as it
builds up the nerves, also increases your
weight. The best thing for the purpose is
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
the reputation of which is built up h. Slid
and indisputable proof, and which is known
IN every hamlet in the country.
As n proof of its merits in such cases, read

Death of Mrs. Shaw.

Mrs. J. L. Shaw died at her home in
Littleton last week. The following ar.
count of her death appeared the next
day in the Norfolk V1rginian-Pilot
Mrs. Temperance D. Shaw, one OF
the oldest and most highly esteemed
ladies of this place, died last night at
s Is O'Clock OF paralysis of the brain
She was stricken Saturday while dress
ing to go to dinner and was found by
one o! the servants some time after
wards lying partly on the bed and floor.
She never regained consciousness and
died after lingering two and a half
days. 1t can BE truly said that good
woman has gone to her reward. She
was widely known, having scores of
friends in Raleigh, where she lived for
a humble OF years. She leaves a hus-
band, Mr.. J. L. Shaw, who Is the we'll
known and popular proprietor of the
Spring Park Hotel and Shaw's Springs,
and three ch'ldren-Mrs. John E. Nc
Craw, of this place MIS-. J. 3. Lang
ley, of Richmond, Va, and Mr.. R. J.
Shaw, of Portsmouth, Va. The funer-
al will take place this afternoon at four
O'Clock from the First Baptist church.
1t was indeed an affecting scene to
witness the grief of the old servants
and slaves, who had been with Mrs.
Shaw all of their lives nearly, when
they earned she was dead"

Suicide of Mr.. Edward Wood.

Mr.. Edward Wood, of Edenton, and
brother of Mrs. Jas. B. Hall, of this
place, committed suicide at his home
last week. The Norfolk Virglnian-
Pilot gave the following particulars
"News was received here yesterday of
the death by suicide on Sunday night
of Mr.. Edward Wood, agent of the
Norfolk and Southern railroad at Eden
ton, N. G.
Enquiry was made at the general Of
fees of the company in this city yester-
day by reporter for the Virginian-
Pilot, but no particulars had been re-
ceived there as to the cause of the sad
occurrence.
"Mr. Wood, about o'clock Sunday
night, in the back yard Of his resi-
dence, shot himself through the head
with 3z-calibre pistol. He fingered
in an unconscious condition until IL
O'Clock, when he breathed his last.
"Mr. Wood was native of Edenton,
from one of the first families in that
section, and his sad and untimely de-
mise has caused a feeling of deep sor-
row in that community, ior no man
was more highly esteemed there. He
had been in the service of the Norfolk
and Southern Railroad Company as it's
agent in Edenton since January, 1882,
when the road was first constructed,
and possessed the confidence OF his
employers. The officials OF the road
here are at loss to account for his
tragic death by his own hands.
''The deceased was also well known in
commercial circles in this city from
his constant business intercourse with
them
"a prominent commission merchant
who has known him intimately tor
many years, said yesterday that he was
a cultured gentleman, and one OF the
best and most efficient agents 81 the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad Com
pany, and was exceedingly polite il his
intercourse with all whom he came in
contact with, socially or officially.
