HOW ABOUT THE PARK?

"That would be beautiful place for
it and it would add greatly to the
beauty of your town."
Such was the remark CT gentleman
of observation a few days ago as he
leaked on: from the car wlndo7 at the
plat of ground near the depot which
has been mentioned as desirable lot
for Il town park.
There is 10 question about the fact
that every town the size of Scotland
Neck needs some kind OF public
grounds. Scotland Neck has none,
aud the plat justs east of the depot
seems to be about the only property in
the town available for such purpose.
The property can be secured for such
purpose and the oweners OF the prop
erty will make liberal subscription
towards supplementing any approprl-
alton the town will make for lis pur-
chase.
Now, why not make little effort
and secure this property for the town
at once?
These columns aie open and we
shall be glad for the citizens to give
their views OF the matter.

SCOTLAND NECK, N. C.
Dear Sir Never shall 1t be said
that we gave an article OF poor quality
the stamp of our personal guarantee.
We heartily recommend the L. & NJ.
Paint because it iulfills we'll nigh i'm
possible conditions. Highest merit
and lowest actual cost. Seems as
though highest merit meant highest
cost. It does i'll the original package,
but then you know you add so much
linseed oil to every gallon OF the L. &
NJ. Paint, that Its sctnal cost is the
lowest of the low. It strikes you at
once, the fact that you buy your lin
seed oil separately, that is why people
refuse to use thin paints because 1t Is
put in a can, sealed up, and labeled
paint. Every gallon of L. & M. Is sold
under an iron-clad guarantee ; the only
paint that is better and cheaper than
white lead.
Messrs. E. T. Whitehead & Co. will
be pleased to quote lowest prices and
furnish color cards.
Yours sincerely,

REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS


OF High Degree Assembled in This
City at Present.
In addition to the prominent Repub-
lican politicians who are in the city
on account of the session of the United
States Court, there were a number OF
others here yesterday, and several con-
ferences were held. 1t is presumed
that matters OF Importance connected
with the distribution of Federal pat
ronage in West Virginia were consid-
cred.
District Attorney Reese Blizzard
and his assistant, z. NJ. Showalter, Col.
John X. Thompson, and others are at
tending court. Senator Andrew Clark
and John T. Harris dropped in by mere
st accident 90. Ex-Governor G. w.
Atkinson came up from Charleston.
and United States Senator N. B. Scott
arrived in the morning, and took his
apartments at the Mcclure. Major
Chas. d. Elliott came up from Parkers-
burg in the morning. Congressman B.
B. Dovener was already here. OF
course, the presence of so many dis
tinguished Republicans might have
been accidental as they say. 1t is pos
sible, but not probable.
1t is said that there was an effort to
patch up the trouble arising from the
appointments made necessary by the
establishment of a new Federal circuit
in this State. Judge Kellar gets the
new judgeship. Governor Atkinson, it
is understood, has been given the as
surance that he will be the district at
torney for the southern district, which
knocks out Elliott Northcott, of Hunt
ington. who was said to have been
slated for this plum. 1t is understood
that Showalter and Northcott, the two
former assistant district attorneys,
will be offered positions in Washington,
under the treasury department, paying
about the same salary.

One OF the most popular packets on
the upper Ohio river is the trim and
we'll appointed steamer Kanawha. own
ed by the Ohio and Great KanaWha
River Packet Company. ard plying in
the Pittsburg, Wheeling and Charles
ton trade. She was built four years
ago along the most approved lines and
is splendidly constructed OF oregon fir.
The Kanawha's hull was constructed
at Ironton, O., and her upper portion
at Marietta. She is 1870 feet long, with
a 36 foot beam; has a depth Of hold OF
5h feet and a tonnage capacity OF 500
tons. The Kanawha was practically
the pioneer in these waters in the use
of compound cylinder engines. She
has one 10x16 and n 17x16.
The boat, like all up river packets,
is a stern wheeler and draws only 20
inches of water. The Kanawha's spe-
cial permit allows her $50 passengers
over a route covering $50 miles each
way. Her cabin is finished in white
and gold, and measures 140 feet and
she has 46 handsome state rooms, all
lighted with electric lights; then there
are other apartments provided for the
comfort and pleasure of the guests, as
smoking rooms, promenade deck and

esses, besides an efficient corps of en-
ployes numbering ifty-two in all.

Il consider coffee as it is usually

injurious drink, especially for nervous
people.
No doubt the student to whom you

q cup of coffee, but the new energy
is caused by a stimulant, the effects
of which will o wear of, leaving
him lower in nervous force.
That is the reason he has head
aches and feels SO miserable when he
is without coffee. If 1t is only the hot
drink he requires why not take a cup
OF clear hot water or a cup OF Cereal
Coffee.
Mrs. Rorer is one of the most emil
lent authorities on food in America.
She knows that Americans go on day
by day using food and drink that
sap their vitality instead OF building
1t up, and it requires argument oft re-
peated to wake them up. Broken
