Something to Know.

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Ritters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres IN the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bite improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried 1t as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.

Resolutions.

Resolutions.
Resolutions OF respect passed by the
Sunday school of Conetoe, n. c., in
loving remembrance of little Nina
Bullock:
WHEREAS, The great Shepherd Of
the church has in His wisdom removed
from among us our loving and esteemed
little friend, Nina Bullock, and, where
as, she was one of the most earnest and
faithful members OF our Sunday school,
it is eminently BETTING that we record
our appreciation of her therefore,
Resolped, That the interest and un-
tlrlng zeal manifested, and the blessed
example set by one OF such tender years
shall ever be cherished by those of us
who survive her.
Resolued, That the sudden and unex-
pected removal of such a sweet spirit
from our midst leaves vacancy and a
shadow that will be deeply realized by
all the members OF this Sunday school
and BY all who knew her.
Resoiued, That we extend to the grief
stricken parents our deepest sympathy
In this hour OF trial, and pray that the
good Lord may so lead and guide them
as that they shall finally greet their lit
tie one on the ever green hills of para
disc.
RESOLVED, That copy of these reso-
buttons be spread upon the records OF
the Sunday school; copy be present
ed to the parents, and that copy each
be sent to the Tarboro Dispatch, the
Scotland Neck COMMONWEALTH and the
North Carolina Christian Advocate.

DR.. StalI1ng5' Gin House Burned.
On Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 9th,
the gin house and saw mill Of DR.. 0.
G. Stallings were burned near Dawson's.
There was fire in the engine and the

work
4 spark from the smoke stack fell
behind the weather boarding Of the

house was we'll on fire. The gin and
saw mill being about under the same
root neither could be saved.
Besides the gin and saw mill there
were five bales of cotton burned, some
cotton seed and a quantity OF peanuts.
The dwelling house across the road

aid would have been consumed.
This is the second fire that DR..

years. We do not know whether or
not there was any insurance.

Marriage a Little Romantic.


Sunday night just as the bell began
to toll for service IN the Baptist church,
Pastor Vann was called upon to perform
Il marriage ceremony quite unexpect-
edly.
The contracting parties were Miss
Hattie, the daughter of ex-Sheriff 3. /.
Allsbrook, and Mr.. Wiley Cherry, the
son of Mr. Amos Cherry, who lives a
few miles in the country. Only few
persons witnessed the ceremony, which
was all over and the bridal party had
retired before the worshippers had
reached the church.
It was runaway affair, but the pa
rents Of the bride would have permitted
the marriage at home, had their con-
sent been asked, however much they
might have been opposed to the mar
riage.
The young couple left the BRIDES
home lust about church hour and her
parents did not suspect anything wrong
until the welded pair returned and the
groom called out Mr.. AlIsbrook and
informed him they were married.
THE COMMONWEALTH wishes them a
long and happy and prosperous life.

KENTUCKY HORSES FAVORED.
Monte Cristo and Nagle's Frenchman
Win in the Stilwell Stake-The
Best Horses Stood Last. 81

At the Kansas City Horse Show
Saturday in the great Stilwell stakes
the first prize, $500, was awarded to
Monte Cristo, Jr., shown by J. 7.
Crenshaw, of Scott's Station, Ky. The
second prize, $3.50, shown by @. F.
Maggie, of Lexington, KY. The third
prize, $3.50, was given to Thornton
Star, shown by J. A. Potts, of Mexico,
Mo. The fourth prize, 500, was
drawn by Ike, shown by L. B. Bar
nett, of Mexico, Mo.
Anybody that knows anything at
all about saddle horses knows that
Monte Cristo, in this ring, was not
deserving of first prize nor even as
good as second; he should have scor-
ed about fourth, and how any set of
judges could place him first is a mys-
terry to everybody who knows the
contesting horses.
The Kansas City Journal, speaking
of the Horse Show, says:
Seven of the entries In this stake
showed up, and the horses were the
finest of collectively Of the day. 1t
was during this event that the bay
stallion, Ike, was 80 splendidly han
died by MIR. Barnett, his rider. This
horse stands 16 hands, is 8 years old
and of a mouse-bay coat. His man
ners and action are of the very best,
and his gaits it seemed impossible to
improve. 1t consumed all of an hour
to make the decisions in this event,
and it seemed almost impossible to
pick the winner. Monte Cristo, Jr.,
is a fine deep bay stallion of quiet
manner, but very fine points and COR
rect gait, belonging to J. T. Cren-
shaw, of Scott's Station, Ky. He is
not the most brilliant of horses, and
did not impress one as much as sew
eral others, but when he was looked
over, when the fine head and the
symmetrical body were taken into
account, coupled with the very best
of manners, it could easily be seen
that he was a most formidable antag-
onist. And then, there was Thornton
Star, belonging to j. A. Potts, of
Mexico, Mo-, a very deep bay stallion,
who gave every evidence Of being a
star of the first magnitude.
The decision was finally given in
favor of Monte Cristo, Jr., and the
Frenchman, a brown geiding belong
ing to @. F. Negle, of Lexington,
KY, was given the second rating.
Thornton Star got third, and Ike, the
public's choice, was very highly CON-
mended. The judges in this event
said that MI. Barnett had spoiled the
horses chances by''too much riding"
but it certainly was this fine horse
and his rider who furnished those In
attendance the greatest pleasure OF
the afternoon.
