has been started with the modest
amount of SIS. Through the Lenten

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for SO long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold Will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
"For years I suffered from severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap-
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. I was induced to try S. S. S.
(Swift's Specific) and after two months
l was perfectly we'll and have never
felt any effects of the disease since.
+'B. P. MCALLIsTER,
"Harrodsburg, KY"
It is easy to see the Importance
of prompt treatment for Catarrh.

Daily Argus of Friday last

Daily Argus of Friday last
Early in the current week the
publication was made that the
First North Carolina Regiment,
now doing service in the Province
of Havana, Cuba, and gracefully
referred to by Gov. Russell in
his message to the General AS
semhly, published5s elsewhere in
this issue, was quarantined on ac-
count of a case of small pox in
one of the companies of that reg
iment: but it was at the same
time stated that the health of the
regiment in general was good,
and, that there was no cause for
unnecessary alarm. However, as
the Goldsboro Rifles is a member
of the First Regiment, much un-
easiness has taken hold of this
community for the welfare of the
boys of our company, pending
the arrival of personal letters
from any of them, and this feeling
Of alarm has been intensely deep
ened by the sad news cabled to
Mr.. John W. Edwards this morn
ing that his brother Tom, a mem
ber of the Rifles, died last night.
The telegram is from Lit. j. W.
Gulick, and makes the simple,
sad announcement, without Civ
ing the cause, "Tom died last
night
Thos. r. Edwards, the de-
ceased, was prompt to volunteer
at the earliest call for troops, and
in camp at Raleigh, at Jackson
vile and Savannah his soldierly
bearing was cause of commenda-
tion from his officers and he grew
to be a general favorite among his
comrades in arms.
Unpretentious in his daily
walks among US, he proved HIM
self a patriot in the hour of his
eountry's need, and has attested
at the cost of his life, ~breathed
out in foreign 4and, his love for
his flag, his fellowmen and liber-
ty.
Mr.. John Edwards has the sin
cere sympathy of his hosts of
friends in the sudden sorrow that
has befallen him.
A later telegram from 1t. Gu
lick states that the interment will
be made this afternoon in Cuban
soil for the present.
