Celery Compound the Best Spring
Medicine in the World.

Spring finds everybody more n less rundown"
"Sprng lasstude" it is not an empty phrase. It is not a superstition
or a worn-out saying, but a strictly scientific fact.
Prudent people all over the country appreciate the fact that in the
spring the health is more under every ones control than at any other tine,
and, whether sick OF we'll
They are taking advantage of the marvellous invisoraing power of
PGnes celery compound. On every hand there r. sarsapari1as, nr-
vines and tonics, but they do not touch the edge of the real trouble

When such remedies have been tried and proved valueless. Paine's
celery compound has surprised and delighted by it's wonderful lasting
results.
Nature, the kindest and gentlest of muses., is disposed, during these
spring days, to put the blood and nerves in a healthy condition and no
remedy so ably seconds her effort rs Paines celery compound.
This best of all spring remedies is making people well and iusuring
others against future breakdowns.

more or less a feeling of langour; there is diminished appetite, disturbed
sleep, less buoyancy of spirit and less disposition to exercise; some peo-
pie are so indisposed that they have to keep in the house and numbers
take to their beds.
The irrtabiity of temper, the peevshness, drowsiness, and uneasi-
that come in spring, show that the nerves and brains ale the chief
sufferers.
Nervousness that 50 often appears a. this season, inserts the thin
edge of the wedge that opens the way for a long list of maladies. If you
are over worked, haggard from seepless nights, nervous and unhappy,
do not give way to dread and depression before you have tried Paines
celery compound. It is the one fair test of this wonderful remedy-tot try it.
Now spring has come, the tired feelings and "out of sorts condition
are to warn one that the blood is impure and the nerves rundown"
|Panes celery compound assist nature at this critical time. 1t supplies
a spacifc nerve food. Taken now, it will enable the body to throw off
headaches, rheumatism and ailments akin to nervousness. It will sweep
out every impurity from the blood, and will nourish the nerve and brain.
It is the most effective, accurate spring remedy ever formulated.

Remedy is the best in the world. A

N d SCHOOL NOTICE.

The Wayne County Sunday
School Executive Committee.
which met with the different
township officers on the 25th Of
March, 1899, arranged for the
different township conventions tc
be held as follows:
Goldsboro township, May 3rd
First Baptist church.
Fork township, May 9th, place
to be selected.
Grantham township, May 18th
to be selected.
Pikeville township, July LIST:
place to be selected.

Nahunta township, June 18th,
Beaman's Chapel.
Great Swamp township, June
9th, Pleasant Grove.
Stony Greek township, July
8th, Thompson Chapel.
The places to be selected were
left vacant because it was thought
more satisfactory to allow the
Executive officers of those town
ships to name the place, which
we hope they will do at once, and
notify me of their decision in or
der that [ may complete my list
of places. It is hoped that each
school in every township will
have the children to prepare
some exercises to be rendered at
their convention. An all day
meeting with dinner OIL the
grounds is the best plan. The
morning should be given to the
children from the different schools,
and to music; the afternoon to
business and the discussion of the
difficult problem of the Sunday
School work. We hope that every
school in the county will under
take to be the best in their town
ship. We hope that if the time
and place named above is not sat
isfactory to any one and they de
eide to change, that they will do
SO at once and notify me of the
change. l also hope that each
school will try to send in to the
secretary a collection Of 1c. for
each enrolled member, and more
they can. This is used to de-
the expenses of the work in
our county and State. A suggest
program viii be printed soon
and sent out. Every Sunday
School worker is requested to cut
this out and show to his friends.

Section.

April the 4th was something the
strawberry truckers was not
prepared for. There is no doubt
but it will do a great deal OF
damage to the fruit crop. The
snowfall here was about two
inches, and the berries are now
partly covered in snow, ice and
mud.
Mrs. w. F. Martin was drivir Q
IN the country Thursday when the
horse became frightened and over
turned the buggy, throwing her
ont. The horse ran across a barb
ed wire fence, which threw him
IN the ditch, holding him fast I'M
til assistance from the town came
to his rescue. The horse was cut
up right badly, but not seriously.
Mrs. Martin came out of the
wreck unhurt and without a
scratch.
MI. O. E.. Franklin favored the
White Oak Sunday School last

manner peculiar to himself. Ii

If you haven't gone out in TIE
country in the vicinity of Mt.
Olive for the past several months,
you will be surprised when you
do, at the number of new houses
that have been erected; you will
at once decide that the surround
ing country has been keeping
apace with our progressive little
city. All this, too, without any
manufacturing interest. So, now
with a graded school, a tobacco
warehouse, a lumber and planning
mill, two crate factories, two brick
yards and a number of other small
industries, do you feel any doubt
but that you could readily rent
fifty or even a hundred residents
and ten or twenty stores2 There is
not a vacant store IN the place, nor
an empty dwelling, and in fact,
from one to three families occupy
every house in town. Put your
money out in buildings if you
would have it carr large diyi~
dends, and at the same time you
will have the consolation to know
that you are helping to build your
town, and are not a mere drone
in the hive.

PROPRIETARY MEDICINE.
Why Professional Endorsement
of Proprietary Remedies is
Granted or Withheld.

1t may be-we believe that it
sometimes is-asked, why the
medical hygienic and sanitary
press is, as a rule, SO opposed to
the granting of it's endorsement
to anything in the nature Of a
proprietary remedy? The expla-
nation is very simple. Endorse
ments, when granted by reput-
able and responsible journals
whose word carries weight, are
based upon rigid Investigation Of
the facts in the case, and upon
unanswerable demonstration of
genuine merit only. Now, there
are but few among the millions
Of appropriately remedies $50. called
which are able to satisfy the ex-
exacting requirements Of journals
Hike this, or whose record of
practical achievements as cura-
tives Of the diseases they are
supposed to combat will bear the
m~erciless searchlight of our in
vestigation. This being SO, it fol-
lows that we grant wonderfully
few endorsements in proportion
to the vast number of proprietary
medicines and remedies which
yearly make their appearance on
the market.
The American Journal of Health
would rejoice to find itself in a
position where it could conscien-
tiously endorse every remedy
which comes under it's notice. But
this cannot be; it is only when
merit is as clearly shown as in
the case specially referred to in
this article that any praise can
be by us editorially bestow-
ed Indeed, the present in
stance is but one of the except
ions which prove the rule. We
have no hesitation in cordially re-
commencing Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy, offered by Mrs. Joe Per-
son, of Kittrell, North Carolina,
as a specific for rheumatism scrof-
ula, psoriasis, erythena, sores,
and all diseases arising from i'm
pure or impoverished blood. We I'M
dertookto examine very exhaust
lively into the claims of this rem
edy, submitting the matter to the
joint judgment of several Compel
ent physicians, whose verdict was
such that we were obliged to adj
nit the justice of the claims of
the proprietor. Contemporaries
ously with the professional ex-
animation set on foot by US we
instituted a systematic inquiry
into the record of Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy. Here, again, we
established that it's claims to be
an extraordinary successful cure
are founded upon truth. 1t has
effected a very remarkable num-
Der of recoveries in cases where
the best known, ordinarily recog-
nized specifics had been baffied,
even when applied under the adj
vice of eminent professional men.
In any instance where a pro-
Pfietary remedy can honestly
demonstrate its power to ere as
clearly as Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy has done, we frankly, and
10 the public interest alone, pub
lish tie fact gratutiously. As
surances from persons who had
experienced the benefits of this
remedy We found to be readily

The Roberts bill, which compels en-
ployment bureaus to keep more COM
plete records of all transactions, and
Krayenbull's bill, which defines forgery
in the third degree and provides punish
ments therefor were also passed.
The Hennessy resolution asking con-
gross to pass the merchant marine sub
sidy act was discussed for time and
finally withdrawn for the present.

BADLY BURNED.
An Old Lady Found Dead Sum-
day Morning.
Whether Death Was Caused by the
Burns or by Heart Disease is
Not Known.

Mrs Elizabeth Mix, an old lady,
was found dead in her room under
very unusual circumstances Sunday
morning. She was residing with her
daughter, Mrs D. A. Brewer, on a farm
four miles west of Vernon Center. Sat
urday evening, when she retired, she
took scuttle of coal to her room with
her, to replenish the fire. Either be-
cause she did not come down to break
fast or because members of the family
smelled smoke, an investigation was
made and it was found that her room
was on fire. Already large hole WIS
burned in the floor and the fire was
rapidly making Roadway.
Mrs. Mix was found lying dead on
the floor, with some severe burns on her
body. How the fire started or just
what caused Mrs. Mix's death is not
known. She was subject to heart
trouble, and when she discovered the
fire she may have expired on account
of the excitement and fallen where she
would have been touched by the flames.
This theory seems the more likely, as
she would probably have made some
cutlery that would have aroused the
family when she discovered the fire, II
she had been able to have done so.
Mrs. Mix was sixty-five years of age.
Word of the sad affair was taken to
Vernon Center yesterday forenoon, and
the undertaken and the son-in-law call
ed up Coroner Kennedy by telephone
and told him briefly of what had oc-
Cured Mr. Kennedy concluded to
make an investigation, as it seemed to
be the wish of the family, and went to
Vernon this morning. He probably
will not return before this evening.

NOT ALL FOR NAUGHT.

Donnelly, in his last issue of the Rep.
resentative says: THE 1900, 900 people
of Minnesota pay every year $13, 900, 900
of direct taxes, state, county and town
ship; and SIC, 100000 more annually of
interest on 'watered stock of railroads;
usurious rates on borrowed money; and
through the stealings of elevator, wheat
lumber, cattle and other rings. What
do the people get for it all? Nothing"
This is fair sample of Donnelly's froth-
ings, yet it IS no worse than the fusion
leaders gave to the people last fall For
the $13, 900, 900 in taxes which Mr.. Don
nelly says the people pay every year, he
claims they receive nothing Yet Mr..
Donnelly knows better. He knows that
by far the larger part of that sum is To-
Cal tax, raised and spent right under
the eye, as it were, of the taxpayer.
He gets good schools for it. His roads
are put into shape and kept so, as near
as can be under the present system. 1t
pays for his town, city and village,
county government, and gives him the
advantages he enjoys under them,
which are many. The assertion that he
gets nothing back for these taxes is
false. He may not get all that he ought
to, but we do not believe the average
taxpayer has yet reached the point that
ne would give up these advantages for
the small satisfacti of saving the tax
AS for the latter 10000, COZ which Don
nelly says is taken from the people of
this state, it may be that amount and it
may not be tenth that amount. I'm.
doubtedly the people pay interest on
wate1ed stock, and suffer some through
other sources. but these ,matters are
always exaggerated by ranters of Don
nelly's type and are never found to be as
bad as represented Mr. Donnelly and
his ilk have always been very good az
destructionists of the present system,
but they have never as yet given to the
public scheme of social fabric that is
any improvement upon what we have.
