By far the biggest thing ever under
taken in North Carolina is the Raleigh
News and Observers State Edition of
"Twentieth-Century." 1t is a little
ahead of time, but it is so large it was
necessary to start early 1t is the
Sixth of it's special editions and by
far the largest. 1t is a mammoth af-
it's daily issues, is most copiously Illus
trated, is said to be the largest news
paper in the world. 1t states it used
nine miles of type in printing it. The
outlay must have been very large. 1t
is a great undertaking for a small pro-
vincial town. We apprehend that the
conclusion drawn from an examination
carefully made would be that North
Carolina is indeed a great state and fill
ed to repletion with very great men. We
hope it will reward amply the enter
prising owners and the editor in
charge.
Our townsman, Mr.. S. H. Fishblate,

good many Western Republicans will
support the suffrage amendment. They
say it is needed and they desire it.
He informs us that he had a CONVERSE
ton with Judge ~Starbuck, a leading
republican in the western section, and
he is strong for the amendment. The
talk in the west is that it will be for
the amendment, and if the east will do
it's duty the very important measure
will be carried. The east must do it's
duty. Starbuck, Purnell and Settle
three prominent leaders among the re-
publicans are openly out for the amend
ment. An excellent start for victory.

catalogue of the university for the session
of 1859.
The total number Of students on the rolls

ginning of the last-named session those
wishing TO enter the university were re-
Quired to take entrance examinations and
this new feature reduced the number of
matriculates compared with previous years.
This feature still continues to keep the
numbers down, but adds to the high stand

its worth to those wishing to enter high
grade university.

INTENSE SUFFERING.
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TRObBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by StuSft'a Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery. But Not a Patent

A New Discovery. But Not a Patent
Medicine.
DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count Of what he considers a remarkable
cure Of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: THE patient was a man who
had suffered, to my knowledge, for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed
TO sour and create gases in the stomach !;
he had pains like rheumatism in the back.
shoulder blades. and limbs, fullness and
distress after eating. poor appetite and loss
of flesh: the heart became affected, causing
palpitation and sleeplessness at night.
Il gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies. but to no purpose. AS an
experiment I finally bought ffty-cent
package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a
drug store and gave them to him. Almost
immediate relief was given and after he
had used four boxes he was to all appear
ances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour wa
terry risings, no bloating after meals, the
appetite was vigorous, and he has gained
between ten and twelve pounds in weight
of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores, yet
consider them most valuable addition 10
any physicians line Of remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given to
children or invalids or in any condition of
the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for Indigestion,
biliousness, constipation, and all derange-
ments OF the stomach, however slight or
severe"
Stuart's dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the F. A. Stuart Co.. of Marshall, Mich,
and are sold by druggists everywhere at so
cents per package
