Some of the young ladies of
this town r getting very i'm
Fortunate. They ara continually
writing to the Rambler on all
subjects. We never did think it
was right for young ladies to
write to married man. One young
lady has written a lengthy epistle
in which she asks us to keep a
lookout for a certain young man
whom she is going to marry and
see If he drinks or smokes or
lgoes in bad company-She says
we find out everything else. There
is an insinuation about the letter
which we cannot entertain and
keep our mouth shut. How are
we going to know whether he
drinks or keeps bad company?
She must think we are a regular
barroom l%oafer, a gambler and a
dead beat. IF she wants anybody
to watch that red-eyed darling of
hers she better do it herself. IF
we get any more such letters there
is going to be a big sensation in
this burg.

RAMBLES OF THE RAMBLER

COMMENTS.

Roaming the Streets.

was all weather aud made to
order. Part of the time we were
Iconfaed to our room because the
openings in our garm ants per-
mitted the wind to pass through
and make d fuss similar to the
soughing Of the pines. Wnen it
turned warmer we ventured out
on the street aud the Mayor had
US arrested for a tramp. Had it
not been for the kladness of a
friend whom we owe and who
was anxious for US to go to work,
in Ioaning US a suit, there is no
telling what would become Of US.
The very latest intelligence
from Fog Pond was told Us to-
day oy au Old friend who had
just come from the scene he
said the women were talking
about organ zing a Woma4's CLUB,
and had sent over after "a pro-
fessional from Goldsboro to
instruct them IN the ways Of the
New Woman. The Mayor aud
Board of Alderman have already
resigned, married men are de-
sorting their families and the ex-
element is intense. The next
mail is expected TO bring news
Of serious developments.
y
This is a pontical year and a
large humber OF cur subscribers
are continually ding~doging
after US to take some sort Of stand
on some question or some cans
didate. This has forced US to
say again that We are no politi-
clan and have no aspiration or
ambitian TO crafty. This column
is open to support the first man
who comes in and planks down
the largest amount Of filthy lucre.
We have decided to use plain
language on this one point and
we hope there will be no more
misunderstanding. Just such a
proceeding will determine where
we stand quicker than anything
; else. W. are waiting for the can.
didates to begin the rush so we
can take some stand aud satisfy
our readers. We must have
something to back up our
"stand."
The Rambler was visiting his
old home over at Frog Pond Sun
day. It rained all day and was
very disagreeable out of doors,
bus a funeral came off on seized =
ule time, as usual. The poor fell
low who was planted beneath the
sod died on Tuesday night, bu,
he had to wait until Sunday tC
be laid to rest, SO that the whole
town could turn out and enjoy
, themselves. About 3 o'clock the
church bell began tolling and the
Frog Pond Band began playing
the same old tune, so familiar tC
the inhabitants. It is stated on
, good authority that because this
! band insists on playing the same
tune always and will make nc ats
tempt to learn anything else
there has been an effort to organ.
ize the new band which we
spoke about the other day. The
excitement over the new band
subsidized somewhat. The news got
out that theywould play more thar
one tune. Some of the oldest in
habitants who acted a little hasty
la moving out of town are now
trying to get back. We have di.
crossed just a little from the
subject we began writing about
Foul play is suspected in connec.

Senator Teller, of Colorado, occupies the
position of having been a supporter of

said yesterday that he did not believe
Mr.. Bryan would force himself into
third nomination, although he added that
conditions make candidates, and it would
be impossible to forecast the result of the
convention of 1904. What might seem
unwse today" he said, may be wise

Ter, "and told him, what | am certain

have polled SO many votes against Presi-
dent Mckinley, | said too, that no other
platform would have been stronger than
the one upon which Bryan ran. / told
Mr.. Bryan that the one thing which led
to his defeat was the fear that under
his administration there would be a repe-

which We now enjoy is due to worldwide
events. over which Mckinley had no con-

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY.
Have Been Sent 10 Our Soldiers in the
Philippine Islands by the Government.


Have Been Sent TO Our Soldiers in the
Philippine Islands by the Government.
Fifty tons of candy have been sent to
tho soldiers in the Philippine Islands by
the commssary department of the army
during the last three months and large
amounts to the soldiers in Cuba and Porto
Rico.
This is done upon the advice of the
medical officers of the army, because it is
a physiological fact that moderate con-
sumption Of confectionery promotes health
and satisfies a natural craving of the
stomach.
Candy was never furnished to the Uni
ted States army before although it has
been commonly used as ration by the
French and British troops in the tropics.
This explodes another ldfashioned the
DRY that sweets We're injurious to the di
gestive organs, while moderate use of
sweets is actually beneficial
Very few things are injurious and the
food cranks who advocate the use Of a
few grains and vegetables and decry the
use of sweets and meats are in error as
q wholesome variety of meat and vegeta-
BILE food is absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the highest condition OF
health.
The best rule to follow is to eat what
the appetite Graves, and if there is any
discomfort or trouble in digesting meat
and sweets, the difficulty can be readily
overcome by the regular use after meals
of some safe digestive composed of pepsin
and diastase. which will assist the stomach
by increasing the flow of gastric juice and
furnish the natural peptone lacking in
weak stomachs.
The best preparation of this kind is
probably Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
which may be found at all drug stores.
Years of use have demonstrated the
value and effectiveness of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets in all cases of impaired
digestion.

1t is noteworthy, and fitting, that those

with few exceptions, continue to wait

full, but more wonderful is it that the
