HaTdinsburg. was during the life Of
Judge Kincheloe. who was regarded as
one Of the ablest members of the Breck-

people with the high Offices to which
he aspired, and he was always respected
IN the highest as Z man OF learning and
a ripe scholar During his active legal
practice land titles were much unset

George ". Williams, of Greensboro. were
the counsel, the taking of testimony
consumed two months It was then
that Mr.. Askins was on the stand con-
tinuously for over eight days. and when
the Judge had questioned him from
every conceivable point of view. he said:
Well. Mr. Askins. you are excused. but

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inaamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditlon, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases OF OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that

Reception to New Pastor.

AS announced in our last issue, the
reception of Rev. G. A. Hill, as pastor
of Asbury, M. E. Church, this town,
was held in the Lecture Room of the
church Thursday evening. Though
the notice was short, it was everything
that the ladies' who had it in charge
could have desired. The benches were
removed and placed at the sides for
sittings, or arranged for tete-a-tetes
near the corners, leaving the central
part of the room to those on the social
move, and it can be jnstly said that it
was well occupied for this purpose, for,
from the beginning until the close, it
was filled: with an everchanging but
animated throng.
The attedants on entering were met
by members of the committee, taken
up and introduced to Rev. and Mrs.
Hill, extending their salutatiOn of
course to the Officiary about them.
| The number who came, including some
of other churches, made it busy time
for all concerned. The reception was
hearty one, that must have been graf
flying in the object intended, but it
had a beneficial effect beyond this
| bringing the membership together in
social intercourse.
A pleasant feature of the evening
otherwise was the serving of cake and
lemonade to the attendants. The lads
of the Sunday School rendered efficient
aid to the ladies in this social part o.
the evening. Besides Rev. and Mrs
Hill, there were in attendance Presid
ing Elder and Mrs. Corkran, Rev
Adam and Mrs. Stengle, Rev. I. H
and Mrs. Hynes, Rev. H. G.. Budd

emily in the message. The President
argues that the wreck of the Maine in
Havana harbor shows that Spain is
not able to guarantee security of for
eign vassels.
The Consular reports sent to Con-
gress with the messagae dwelt princi-
pally with the condition of the recon-
centrados, the failure of autonomy and
the relief from the United States. Con-
sui General Lee estimated that 400, 900
peaceable people, who had taken no
part in the insurrection in any way,
had been driven from their homes into
the fortified towns, and there left to
perish from hunger and resultant dis
eases. The deaths he estimated at 200,
OOO. The recent relief measures of the
Spanish are said to be effectual.
The whole matter of war with Spain
is thus thrown upon Congress, and at
this writing it is believed the only way
to avert it is for the Spaniards to gel
out of Cuba.

The first of what were called the
''Trades Day" excursions to Whining
ton-on the 9th inst.-through not
favorable day from the extreme low
temperature for April, proved an entire
success. It was an effort of the Will
mington merchants to make it in trade
what it is in pOpulatiOn--the metro
polls of the State. Judging from the
papers, the end justified the means,
for the object was attained. The num-
Der who availed themselves of the ex-
cursion are stated at 800 on the Della
ware road or 1000 altogether. The
merchants of Wilmington believed that
the people down the State were strang-
ers to their city and its mercantile ad-
vantages, the excursion rates of shop
pers not allowing them to stop over in
that city, but hurried direct to Phila-
delphia. The belief is expressed that
the day was one of mutual advantage,
and report that for one day, they did
more business than they have in any
other one day, for several years. The
people who went to the city saw; were
pleased and bought. The excursion
lists expressed pleasure at the manner
il which the merchants displayed theil
wares and spoke we'll of the way il
which the employees of the many bus
ness houses treated the customers
The committee in charge of the ex
cursion will shortly arrangefor anoth
er one, and will recommend that the.
be given at regular intervals through
out different seasons of the year.
