MOST FISH IN YEARS.
Were Caught at Morehead and Beaufort
During January.-Fishermen Make
Big Money
(Newbern Journal.)

(Newbern Journal)
January, 1899. is record breaker in
the catch of fish, and i'll the amount of
money made by the fishermen.
The fish caught is the speckled trout,
a favorite fish for market, and hundreds
of tons of this fish have been hauled into
boats by the fortunate fishermen at
Beaufort and Morehead City.
What has operated very much i'll favor
of the fishermen, is that the run of fish
ut other points on the coast has been
smaller than usual, so that the North
Carolina fishermen were not only taking
in great quantities of fish, but these fish
were in good demand and at good prices,
because OF the scarcity elsewhere.
The fish dealers have not made any
special good money, because OF compe-
tition, the fishermen have had the mark
ct to themselves. letting the hungry buy
ers bid up for their fish.
The profits made by some of the fishing
boats and their crews is startling when
other years are considered.
One or two hundred dollars for the
month would ordinarily be regarded as
good luck for a boat and crew, but last
month such sums were made on a single
trims catch.
One catch is reported as having yield
ed the fortunate boats crew $1,000,
while several crews made during the
month from 81 800 to $1,000.

display in the curio department, with
plenty to tempt the palate in the pantry
department
Mr.. Green tells me that this year the
entire four rooms in the basement of
this building will be used exclusively
for the convenience of ladies'; these
rooms will be looked after by a servant,
and will be kept warm and comfortable
so the mothers can leave their little ones
there while they are sightseeing.
The association has arranged with
Mr. Frank Robbins. a well known show
man, to bring his troup of MeXicans
and Indians and give free exhibition
each day in front of the grand stand.
Other outside ATTRACTIONS Will be seen.
Nothing Objectionable will be allowed.
On Wednesday. the 22nd, there will be
the annual inspection of the naval re-
serves and all the military companies Of
the State that can be present.
The association will present to the
hest drilled company a handsome silk
flag. The judges for this contest are
three of the best equipped military
officers in the State.
Indications now point to the fact that
the stock display will be on a better
scale than ever. The association not
only will furnish comfortable stables for
all stock, but will furnish them feed free
of charge and a hand to look carefully
after all stock and poultry, and they
also make no charge for entries in any
of the departments, except for racing.
Arrangements have been made with
all railroads in the State to give low
rates to and from Newbern during the
Fair week. These rates will be given
later.

When girls of old swift needles piled
Fond SWANS could murmur at their side,
But now type-writing keys they pound
When man would WOO his voice is

On soft mumured words they ne'er rely
But court the maids in fashion up-to-

With Registers Creams and Chocolate.

actly what is claimed for it,
And of " hat other remedy can that be
saiu?
Every form of nervous trouble. whether
localized in the muscles, heart, brain, or in
the nerves themselves, is cuIedto stay
cured--by Paine's celery compound Every
kind aud degree of impoverishment Of the
system is overcome by this greatest of all in
vigoratOrs after other remedies have shown
no beneficial effect
1t is the spring remedy vouched for by
physicians, teachers and we'll read, well in-
formed men and women in every part of the
country.
People are everywhere dying of exhausted
nervous energy or dragging out their lives
in pain and discomfort because of sleepless.
ness, nervousness and tagged out brains.
The objective point of Paine's celery com
pound in successfully curing such nervous
troubles is to feed the nerves, build up the
wasted brain-parts, nourish the tissues aud
increase the constructive capacity of the
blood. Health and renewed life to all the
nervous tissues thus takes the place of the
lethaTgy and the debility of disease, when
Paine's celery compound is employed
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1899-03-11

No one will need to be told that Pane's
celery compound does its best work now as
spring comes on These early spring days
encourage getting well. Nervous diseases
are less stubborn and debility yields more
quickly now than at any other time
1t will astonish every one who knows
Paines celery compound only by hear-say, to
try it now and to see the change from yell
low, sallow, complexion to a fresh, healthy
color; headaches will wholly cease; sleep will
refresh and the mind grow clear By means
of this great modern remedy the liver that
has been sluggish all winter becomes active,
and bilious attacks and the poisonous head
aches and the diseases akin to rheumatism
which are its result, are cut short.
If it were possible to makea house-to-hOuse
canvass Of families where Paine's celery COM
pound is being used during these early spring
days, an overwhelming amount of evidence
would appear showing the implicit confidence
that is placed in this greatest of all spring
remedies and the enormous number of people
who are being cured Of some form of ner-
vous troubles, sleeplessness, indigestion, head
aches, neuralgia, heart troubles or general
rundown" condition.

of Assignee.
The Girard Saving Fund Association, of
Ginrdyille, seems to be hopelessy involved
financially, and with il all an intense and
bitter feeling exists among the stockholders
against the officers whom they charge with
mismanagement. Several meetings have
recently been held by the stockholders which
resulted In committee of twelve members
being appointed and empowered to begin
legal proceedings against the officers. Their
attorney is Geo Wadlingcr, Of Pottsyille.
The directors have been trying for some
months to lift the concern out of its diff
culties and place it on its feet again, but the
effort has not met with success owing to lack
of confidence They have since concluded
that IL would be best to proceed to wind up
its affairs, and to that end Charles f. Russell,
Ashland's well known aud experienced saw
ing fund secretary, has beer appointed as
signcc.
How much the ckholders. many Of
whom reside in an about Lost Creek, will
realize is altogether problomatcal Some
time ago the state banking department over
hauled their accounts and authorized a seal
ing of twenty four per cent on the amount
of money actually paid in the fund. The re-
port of a recent special committee sets forth
that a further scaling is necessary.
The late }. NJ Click Of Girardville, was
the secretary of the association up to the
time of his death
The appointment Of an assignee by the
| present officers of the fund was n great sur
/ prise to those stockholders who last week de-
cided to bring prosecution and have the asso-
ciction's affairs taken into court. The ap-
/ pointing of an assignee, it is claimed, will
prevent the stock holders from bringius
