REV. JAMES BATTLE AvIRETT SAYS:

Louisburg, n. c., March 8, 1898.
Mrs. Joe Person. Kittrell, n. c.
My Dear Madam:-So much i'm
proved have both Mrs. Avirett and l
been that we consider it a matter OF
pure justice that we should signify
by express testimony how much we
value your medicine in our family.
We have found it most excellent
Tonic. but even of rarer value as a
Nervine Remedy in Insomnia and as
a General Builder up to one run down
in health.
We only wish you had the means
sufficient to advertise your medicine
as to find for it the market to which
it's value so fully entities it.
JAMES BATTLE AVIRETT,
Rector.

In MemOriam.

Though the All Wise God saw fit to
take from this earth Miss Cora May High,
she is not to be forgotten by her many
friends. Her walk in life was such that to
know her was to love her. She was gen.
erous, true and kind hearted, ever ready
to help the needy and distressed, dutiful
and obedient to her parents, and faithful
to her covenant with God. Though Miss
May was sick only a short time she SUI
fered much but bore it patiently, and ever
remembered she was leaning on On ever
lasting arm. She leaves many friends
and relatives to mourn her loss. But the
oneconsoling thought for them is, she had
fought a good fight, had finished her
course and had kept the faith, and was
ready to enter into rest We regret to
give Miss May up but our loss is her
gain. So as we lay her body in the tomb
we commit her soul in the hands of Him
that doeth all things WE'LL

Almost q Coincidence.

From one of the Raleigh papers
we take the following item which is
not without legal interest:
In speaking of the recent accident
to Lieutenant Colonel Cowles, on
Hillsboro street. Raleigh, in which
his leg was broken by his horse fall
ing on him. Mr.. T. T. Brooks of
this city, tells us that in 1861 a
similar accident happened to Lieu
tenant Colonel Harry Burgwyn on
the same street in Raleigh. Colonel
Burgwyn's horse fell with him and
instead of a leg his collar bone was
broken.
Then, as at this time, North Caro-
lima troops were encamped at Raleigh.
Zeb Vance was colonel of the ia nous
Goth and Harry Hurgwyn was lieu
| tenant colonel. Now, w. H. S. Bur-
gwyn, brother of Harry, is colonel
of the End regiment and Cowles is
lieutenant colonel. Mr.. Brooks be-
longed to the Goth and remembers
the incident we'll. 1t is coincidence
in that the accident happened to
officers Of the same rank, on the
same street and in the same manner
by the falling Of a horse.

COLUMBIA COMIC OPERA co.

A rare treat is awaiting those who will take advantage of the oppor- tunity of seeing the Columbia Comic Opera Co.,, at the Pine Bluff opera house in s'Glrofe Girofia. next Tues day evening, January IS. This com pany comes to us highly recommend ed by the press throughout the country, and we can look for an evening of enjoyment such as we have not had In the past four years. Miss Ethel Balch, the prima donna soprano, late of the DeWolff-Hop- pord and the Bostonians opera com panies, is revelation in the role of Girofie GirOfia, the twin daughters of Don Bolera. That famous song, ''See How It Sparkles, Sec How 1t Shines" ," in the second act as sung and acted by the pretty, petite little woman is something never to be for gotten. Miss Katherine MacNeill, the prima donna eontraltu. Las formerly held the same position with the Tavary Grand and Emma Abbott opera companies, and could not be improved upon in the part of Aurora, an arrogant wife. Jack Henderson, as Don Bolera, Aurora's husband, produces more side-spliting laughter than can be gathered from three red hot farce comedies. The rest of the east have enylable repnta- tions in the operatie world, and give faultloss presentations of their respective parts.

ELECTRICITY.
An Interesting and Instructive Lecture at Merrill Institute
 Last Night.

Prof. Howerton's lecture on elec- tricity was attended by n fairly large audience at the Merrill Institute Thursday night. Prof. Howerton is possibly the most unassuming lecturer ever appearing on the In- stitute platform. His plain gray suit is more suggestive of thelabora- tory than of the platform; and he seems to have overlooked entirely numerous articles of dress that go to make up the suit of public speaker. Prof. Howerton was perfectly at ease, however, before his audience, and did not fall to interest and in- struct his hearers. He dispersed through his scientific lecture pleas ing humor and wit, that prevented dryness. He impressed his audience as being thoroughly absorbed in his study.
 The lecturer had n table of cleo trical appliances and number Of experiments were shown last night. Possibly the most interesting part of the lecture was the treatise of the X Ray. Only few of the audience had the privilege Of seeing the actual demonstration of the x Ray. A number of gentlemen were called upon the platform and shown the bones In their hand.
 The lecturer was listened to at tentively throughout the lecture, and every one was highly pleased with the entertainment furnished.

T0CURENERVOUs D. SPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make Test of stuarrs
 Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are notcured by nerve medicine and spring reme- dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stomach Is the or gan to be locked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the st0m- ach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appe- tite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 6l PnasY peet St., Indianapolis, Ind, wri as follows: "A motive of pure gra8 itude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new aud valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets. 1 have been q sufferer from ner- vous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent med icines and other remedies without any favorable result. They some times gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore of, l attributed this to my salentary Bab- ftr, urfuk5 p.1OF0ISeepeH with littlo physical exercise, but 1 am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way. The above is written not for notorietY, but is based on ac- tual fact" Respectfully yours,
 A. W. Sharper, 6l Prospect St, Indianapolis, Ind.
 It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of stomach. They cure stomach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleepless- ness, palpitatiOn, heartburn, cOnsti- patton and headache.
