The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Ca
tarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treat,
ment Halls Cata-rh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous SUR
faces of the system, thereby des~
troying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The prophet
ors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.

A'AAAA AZ ASAIL
abeth City There would be
no lack of raw material, nor of
labor, nor of a market. 1t is an
enterprise that is needed, and
one that will surely pay tie in
vestor and be of much benefit to
our town. We know OF nothing
that could be established here
that would give more employ
ment to the surplus labor, con-
sidering the amount of capital it
would require to establish it,
than a knitting factory. Where
ever in the South, especially in
North Carolina, these mills
have been put in motion, they
have proved a success. The
proximity of material, the
cheapness of labor, and the
splendid facilities for transports
tation, make success almost a
certainty. In no section of the
South are these advantages more
apparent than here in our town.
We hope some enterprising citi
zen will consider this suggestion
and investigate the matter. 1t
will surely yield large revenue
to the investors and be a boom to
business.

KLONDIkERS.
Special Steamer of Gold Seekers
Now In Port.

The long-looked for steamer, Cape
Otway, Savage master. arrived in port
and anchored in the stream early yes
terday morning. She is on her way to
the Klondike with 220 souls aboard, all
looking ahead to a bright and promis-
ing future. The purser kindly furnish
ed the following report of the voyage:
Left Sydney 400 p. M, 5th inst, and
arrived at Auckland 18th inst. After
receiving considerable additions to the
passenger list. resumed the voyage al
Gee r. n. 18th. Experienced fresh
strong easterly winds and head sea to
Auckland, thence d Moderate easterly
and northerly winds to the 10th, when
the wind freshened to a gale, lasting
till the 18th inst. Thence moderate
north easterly winds and fine weather
prevailed till the 9th, when moder-
ate north easterly gale sprang up and
continued to arrival"
When about three days from port. the
Cape Otway sustained an accident to
her eccentric rod, so that her progress
was very slow. This will result in the
steamer remaining in port until Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock In the
meantime a new casting will be made
at the iron works.
The Cape Otway is 1854 tons and
was launched in August of last year for
the West Australia trade. In January
Of this year the steamer was advertised
for the Klondike and in a short time
