Opening Announcement.

On Thursday next, March 3,
Will be the opening day of The
Bee Hive" the Mammoth De-
partlnent Store of r. J. Mitchell
in the Lowry Building. The
doors will be thrown open at 10
O'Clock, and from the hour
opened until 10 o'clock at night
the public is cordially invited to
call and inspect the store, exam
inc goods, get prices of same,
and ask as many questions as
they may wish to. On this day
the store will be opened, not so
much for business, but to enter>
tain visitors, and all who will
can come feeling free and easy
and will be welcomed and treat
ed with as much courtesy as if
you had called to spend the cons
tents of your purse In The Bee
Hive there are about twenty de-
partments, arranged in sectors
and a1sles, that you may stroll
through this entire mammoth
establishment and get a full
view of every department. At
nearly all OF the various departs
ments will be found a salesman
or saleslady, who will be de
lighted to serve the customer or
visitor in the way OF showing
the elegant stock of spring goods.
While all of the departments
are not as complete as they will
be later, the store being in its
infancy, we venture the asser,
ton that there has never, i'll the
history of Elizabeth City, been
shown such a handsome array
of merchandise OF every descrip-
ton as will be seen at the open
ing of 1.-The Bee Hive.
One of the notices Of "The
Bee Hive" is to keep every
thing for everybody" and every
effort on the part OF its manage
ment will be to make The Fee
Hive the "Wanamaker store" Of
Eastern Carolina. But this is
not all. Mr.. Mitchell has adoo
ted the One P,ice System, eua
bling child to trade with as
much safety as the experienced
buyer. He has marked goods at
their lowest price, and instructed
every clerk N the building to
sell them at one price to all.
Any deviation from this rule
will cost the salesperson their
position.
Watch for the opening and
come on Thursday an1 every
day thereafter.

A Good "A oman Dies Suddenly

Again death has Invaded the
home of another of our citizens
and claimed Tor its own a most
estimable woman. But when it
comes to those who are ready
to those who have so lived that
their lives shed an odor of purity
aud goodness around them and
the world is made better by their
presence, then indeed, death loses
It's sting and its victory is turned
into defeat. So lived and so
died Mrs. Margaret Palmer, who
departed this life very suddenly
last Saturday afternoon, Feb.
10Th.
Mrs. Palmer was the grand
mother of our townsman, Mr..
Go. R. Bright. for whom the
decease's devotion was quite
conspicuous. She was 81 years
OF age and a consistent member
of the Methodist church, and
had lived in this community the
greater part of her life. She
was greatly beloved by those
who knew her best, and her sud
den death is deeply felt by her
relatives and friends.
Her remains were laid at rest
IN the Overman cemetery Mon
day, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. J. H. Hall

The Observance Of Easter.

"The observance of Easter dates back
to about the year 6S, at which time
there was much contention among the
Eastern and Western churches as to
what day the festival should be ot-
served. 1t was finally ordained at the
Council of Nice in the year 325 that it
must be observed throughout the
Christian world on the same day. This
decision settled that Easter should be
kept upon the Sunday first after the
fourteenth day of the first Jewish
month, but no general conclusion was
arrived at as to the cycle by which the
festival was to be regulated, and some
churches adopted one rnle and some
another. This diversity of usage was
put an end to, and the Roman rule
making Easter the first Sunday after
the fourteenth day Of the calendar
moon was established in England in
$50. After nine centuries discrepancy
in the keeping of Easter was caused by
tie authorities 81 the the English Church
declining to adopt the reformation 81 |
the Gregorian Calendar in 1852. The
difference was settled in 1859 by the |
adoption of the rule which makes East
sr Day always the first Sunday after
5he full moon which appears on or
1ext after the twenty-frst of March.

Walking the Floor.

When business man gets to the point
where he cannot sleep at night, where he is
SO shattered OF nerve that it is torture to
even remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the foor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with round turn.
II he does not, it means nervous prostration
and mental if not physical, death.
For man who gets into this condition
there IS remedy that will brace him rp,
put him on his feet and make man of him
again. 1t is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery 1t goes to the bottom of things.
1t searches out the first cause When a.
man is il this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots aud hit that first
cause = the stomach or the liver or both,
Tbs 1s1iciie acts. directly on these
spots 1t promptly transforms weak ston
ach into healthy one. It facilitates the
now OF digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. It gives a
man an appetite like boys. 1t invigor-
ates the liver. 1t fills the blood with the
i1te-g1ving elements of the food. and makes
1t pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
IS the life current, and when it is filed with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, 1t does not take long to make a man
well and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
hbers. 1t puts new life, vigor and vitality
INTO every atom and organ of the body. It
cures nervous exhaustion and prostratiou.

The sick man knocking at the door of
health gets in if be knocks the right way.
and stays out if he doesn't. There are
thousands of ways OF getting sick but
only one way to get well. Do whatever
you will, if you do not put your digestion
in good order, and make your blood rich
and pure, you will not get well. Rich,
pure blood is the only thing that can
bring perfect health. Constipation is a
disease OF the blood. A large part of all
diseases are traceable directly to impuri-
ties in the blood, and can be cured by
eliminating them with DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery. The first thing
it does is to put the whole digestive sys-
TEN into perfect order. 1t stimulates the
appetite, excites copions secretion of
the digestive fluids and promotes assimi-
lation. 1t searches out disease germs
wherever they may be, kills them and
forces them out of the system. The
Golden Medical Discovery has been
used with unvarying success for over 80
years.
