are uneasiness after eating, fits of ner-

.LUNSFCRD ACQUITTED
No Case Against the Person
County Lawyer.
The Federal Court is Fast Coming TO Close,
A Number Of Parties Were Tried and
Sentenced.

Yesterday the Federal court disposed
very quickly of a case that has created
much interest. Mr.. Nathan Lunsford a
we'll known lawyer of Person county,
and an excellent citizen was under in
dictment in the court. 1t seems that Mr..
Lunsford had been on the bond of the
postmaster of the office in his neighbor-
hood, and owned the postal boxes, cabi-
nets, &C. The office was moved when a
new postmaster was appointed, and Mr..
Lunsford went to the new office, took
possession of his property and dumped
the mail on the floor. He was indicted
for obstructing and embezzling the mail,
and as he is a staunch Democrat the
prosecution was looked upon as largely a
political matter.
Mr. Lunsford was represented by Hon.
w. w. Kitchin, Mr.. Luther Carlton, eX-
Judge Spencer B. Adams and Col. J. C.. l..
Harris. The only speech in the matter
after testimony was in was made by Mr..
Kitchin, and then the case was dismissed
without going to the jury.
Charged with Illicit distilling the fol-
lowing were convicted and sentenced to
so days in Jail with a fine of 800: H. A.
Ball, John Allen and Sol Allen.
Walter Willis, of Beaufort county,
charged with robbing the United States
mails was convicted, but sentence was
not pronounced yesterday
Among the other cases that have been
disposed of are the following:
John Eborn, of Beaufort county, re-
failing; pleaded guilty; thirty days in
10 x100 and
Charles Williams, Cumberland; re-
failing; guilty, four months imprison-
ment, 500 fine and costs.
Joseph j. Rogers, (colored) retailing
and removing; guilty, 500 fine and
costs.
George Raynor, Johnston county, il
licit distilling; thirty days in jail and
$500 fine; Judgment suspended until
next term of court.
j. M. Pittman, Halifax, using postal
funds; mol pressed with leave. This
case had a m-striaI during the Deem
Der term of the court of 1899.
John Allen and Rom Allen, Granville,
distilling; verdict guilty; thirty days
in Jail, 500 me and costs.
The indications are that the Federal
court will close today.

GENEALOGICAL MEDALLIONs.
A Unique Continuance For Preserving Family
Records

To learn ones family tree and have it
available it should be made out on gen.
ealogical medallons. These are spheres
of cardboard in metal buildings joined
by chain links. The top medallion is
for the individual who is raising the
family thee. From this medallion the
branches spread out, the name of an an
cestor on each medallion until the chain
is as long as demanded. When it
reaches Adam and Noah there is a his
tory that is worth reading, and each
branch of the family is joined by actual
links. The short line shows where a
branch ends and the long ones where
anothe rhas continued. When the chain
is finished it can be hung on the wall of
the largest room in the house or put
away. Wherever it goes it is delight,
and there is nothing so pleasant as to
chink ones family tree in ones hand.
1t shows riches that are better than
cold.
This unique device for preserving
family records is the invention of a
Raleigh lady, who now resides in New
York.
The medalions may be secured from
the local chapter of the Daughters OF
the Revolution in Raleigh at a small
cost.
