comes the hacking, lingering cough, and
the doctor looks serious and talks of pine

That ia the time when DR.. Picrcc's

"weak lungs" obstinate, lingering cough,
bronchitis, splitting of blood, and other
forms OF disease, which if neglected or
unskillfully treated lead to consumption.

orally understood that we are TO soon
have long distance telephone connec-
tons with other cities. This is some
thing for which we have long stood in
need. and we hope the enterprise will
not follow in the footsteps of the Hert-
ford Manufacturing Company.
A COTTON FACTORY.
That we will soon have cotton fac
tory is an undisputed fact. But when?
This is the all important question. Let
the matter have more attention, you
business men!
Perquimans county raises more cot
ton than any county in the eastern
part OF North Carolina. Hartford
banks show that there is more money
in this town than in any other town
in the State 10 the population
Now why let this money lie idle {?
Why let our cotton go elsewhere. We
have the money we have the cotton.
and we have got the men to push the
enterprise. Upon the latter depends
the answer to our question.

society met, with Walter B. Law in the
chair.
The following resolution was then
presented and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The pastor of the United
church and minister of the United So

Voted, That the society concurs in
said action of the church and also in
the appointment, by the church, of DR.,
Munger as it's pastor emeritus after
said date; and that it fully shares in
the appreciation, expressed in the votes
of the church, of his faithful services,
his inspiring ministrations from the
pulpit and his constant, unspoken ex-
hibition of his own life, of what ours
should be.
Voted, That a committee of three be
appointed to represent the society before
the council, and in calling the same to-
gether
Under this vote the following COM
mittee was appointed: Walter B. Law,
Walter O. Whitcomb and Judge Living

PILGRIMAGES TO ROME.
Drawbacks Of Holy Year.

Drawbacks Of Holy Year.
1t is now perfectly plain why Holy
Year never came more often than eve
ry twenty-five years. The astute Popes
were afraid of stretching the patience
of the Romans to the breaking point.
Awful is the only word that describes
the situation. The pilgrimagess are
again in full swing, and we who live
In the Eternal City have to bear the
consequences. To begin with, as food
is apprecfably higher in price and lower
in quality The busy man, with not
much money to waste, has to pay twice
the usual fare for his cab or go on
foot, while the more humble wayfarer
is still worse off, as the trans are over
flowing, and, if he does manage to
catch on the odors that assall MIN
cause him to drop off again. The cy-
clist, whom one would say would at
least be independent, is the worst off OF
ALL as, no matter how vigorously he
rings his bell or toots his horn, the pill
erims walk serenely on, nose in air.
without taking the least notice, as
though in the midst of their native
too near they put out hands to protect
themselves, and when he rolls over they
summon him for running them down!
They are really coming in thousands,
and one wonders at the fervid plety
that induces them to suffer long, hot,
dusty journey, penned in third-class
carriages, which in italy resemble more
than ANYTHING else the cattle cars OF
England In these are seen droVeS or
peasant women, led usually by tat
nriest of their own station in life, who
treats them as children and packs them
into the trainc as sardines in box.
once arrived in the Holy City they are
III fed, i'll housed and i'll conveyed, as
they are walked to all the churches,
and look, as they trail about the town,

NOVEMBER THUNDER STORM



According to reports from Danbury
the storm struck that section about
midnight and folloWin the thunder
storm there was a very heavy hail
storm, which broke the glass in quite
few hot houses as we'll as the windows
of many residences. The wind also
blew with almost tornado force, ana
many trees We're uprooted and consld-
cradle damage done to telegraph and
telephone wires on account of the poles
being blown down.
The most serious loss is reported from
NewtoWn on account of the destruction
by fire of a large barn on the farm OF
e. S. Lowell, which was struck by
lightning soon after midnight. There
were over one hundred tons of hay in
the barn as well as large quantity OF
grain and farming implements. Forty
head of cattle were saved.
A barn belonging to Hubert Vail at
Peaks lake was also struck by light
ming and destroyed, Easterly from
here it is known that there We're sew
eral fires, but nothing has been learned
as yet as to their seriousness. The
lightning was extremely heavy.
This afternoon the house OF Mrs.
John Luby on Snipsic street, Rockville,
was struck by lightning during the
storm that visited here about 3 o'clock,
The lightning bolt went down through
the roof and tore the plastering of the
ceiling of room in which William
Luby, a son was reclining on couch
He was uninjured apart from slight
shock.
At Westchester, a house on the road
between Westminster and Moodus be-
longing to William O'Brien was struck
and the inmates severely shocked.
AT Columbia the country store owned
by George B. Fuller was struck by
lightning and totally destroyed with a
loss of between three and four thou
sand dollars, This is the second time
within a few years that Mr.. Fuller had
his store burned as the result of being
struck by lightning.
At Easthampton there was very
severe hail and wind storm accompa-
MED by lightning, but no place was
struck in the vicinity.

The mayor then takes up the third
charge. which is to the effect that he
became unlawfully interested In con-
tracts with the city. In his answer he
says that these contracts We're made by
the heads of administrative depart
ments without his knowledge pursuant
to the provisions of the charter which
authorized them to do this. He adds
that he first became a stakeholder in the
