The Skies are Frightening.

a letter from a friend in Weldon
tells us the skies are Frightening for
the fair next week. Everything is in
excellent shape out at the grounds
and many exhibits are being placed
in position. Numerous attractions
have been secured, the railroads
will run special excursion trains, a
large attendance is expected and all
indications point to one Of the most
successful fairs ever held. All OF
which is very encouraging. All that
is asked to make success d oubly sure
is that the weather man will treat the
Weldon Fair next week as kindly as
he did the State Fair last week.
At no time is man secure from attacks
OF such disorders of the stomach as
cholera morbus, cramps and diarrhOea;
but these complaints are common during
the heated term. when it is dangerous to
neglect them. Pain-k Killer is a remedy
that has never failed and the severest
attacks have been cured by it. Avoid
substitutes, there is but one Pain-killer,

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Greatly Enlarged and Improved-The
Work on the rlain Body of the
Building Finished.

For some months the PRESBYTERIAN
church has been undergoing improve
ments-the building remodeled and
enlarged. Work on the main audito-
rum has been finished and services
were held therein Sunday.
A new carpet has been put down
and the walls and woodwork re-
painted, the colors harmonizing most
beautifully. No attempt at show has
been made-there was neither the
means nor the inclination for that
but in point of neatness and comfort
nothing is lacking.
The congregation are justly proud
OF their new church and much credit
is due to those who have contributed
of their time and labor and money in
the accomplishment of what has been
done
The plans as drawn by Architect
Linthicum have been well carried out
by Contractor Bum, under whose su-
pervision the brick and woodwork has
been done. Mr.. Robert Crow was the
painter and most artistic and salts
factory job he has made Of it.
Mr.. Samuel Watkins, who has
given literally of his time as well as
his money in furthering the work, is
happy, and so is Pastor Shaw. And
the ladies of the Aid Society, the otfi-
GERS and individual members of the
congregation have done nobly and all
have cause for rejoicing in that they
have so nice and so commodious a
house dedicated to the worship of
Almighty God.

Correspondents, Take Pattern.

There is man the printer loves,
and he is wondrous wise; when he
writes the printer man he dotteth all
them with carefulness and ease, he
punctuates each paragraph and
crosses all his It's. Upon one side
alone he writes, and never rolls his
leaves; and from the man of ink a
smile the mark s.insert" receives
And when question he doth ask
taught wisely he has been-he doth
the goodly penny stamp, for postage
back, put in. He gives the place from
which he writes-his address the
printer needs-and plainly writes
his hOnored name, SO that he that
runneth reads. He writes, revises,
reads, corrects, and rewrites again,
and keeps one copy safe and sends
one to the printer man. And thus
by taking little pains, at tritling care
and cost, assures him that his manu-
script will not be burned or lost.
And SO he speaks through all the
land, and thousands hear his word,
and in the coming day shall know
how well the people heard.
So let all those who long to write,
take pattern by this man; with Jet
black ink and paper white, do just
the best they can; and then the prin-
ter man shall know, and bless them
as his feiends, all through LIES
journey as they 90, until that jour
ney ends.
