says:
About eight years ago, I was
taken with nervous prostration
which was followed by a partial
paralysis of the lower limbs. The
doctor called it locomotor ataxia.
Icould not direct my steps, and I
would often fall down. I tried
many remedies but was not bene-
flied until I began taking DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People.
Several doctors had told me that
there was no cure for my trouble,
but my improvement continued
and took the pills steadily for
two years. At the end of that
time had regained full control of
my limbs. The pain left me and
has never returned"

Wilson Notes.

(Correspondence of the Messenger.)
At a meeting of the tobacco board of
trade it was decided to close down sales
on the Wilson market December 10th,
till January 2nd. This will give all
those who work in tobacco time to get
home for Christmas.
Tobacco during the past week has
being unusually high, common obaccos
being now higher than at any time in
the history of the market. The sales
up to this time have exceeded in guam
taity the estimates at the opening OF
the season. The total sales up to De-
cember 1st were 112, S12, go, only a de-
of last season.
Tobacco people are now of the opin-
ion that the total sales for the season
will amount to 1s, 600, 900 pounds.
Quite a little discussion has been
caused in Wilson by the low figures put
on the towns population in the official
census report. The town is given credit
for only 3,525 In 1890 the population
was 2,126. 1t is believed hat there are
in the cooperate limits of Wilson and
it's immediate suburbs, over 5000 peo-
pie. Every one knows that the census
taking here was very poorly managed.
The aldermen took official notice of
the affair at the time.

a week to sell stamps, and that he had
been doing so for the past three weeks.
He paid 2 cents apiece for them.
Mr.. E. E. Haar. who does business on
Market street. testified that Stewart
on three of fOu~ occasions sold him
satmps in quantities of 100 at a time.
Mr.. J.. w. Norwood, president OF
the bank. testified hat Stewart was
the porter at the bank, and that when
he was informed hat was sell
ing stamps. he had a warrant taken
out for him. He said when he accused
Stewart of taking the stamps he de-
MED it and said he did use twenty
five stamps for his own correspondence
but that he would make restitution
for them. He accounted for the sale
of so many stamDs- by telling Mr.. Nor
wood that he found 200 stamps at the
