TWO TRAINS WANTED UP THE
ROAD.
MANY letters have been received from
business men along the Carolina Cen
trail favoring the movement to secure
two trains a day out of Wilmington on
that road. Merchants in all the towns
W. here and Hamlet are deeply in
terested in the matter and o1er TO rem
der any assistance they cam.
MIR. F. L. Bundy, mayor OF Laurln-
burg. writes as follows:
az see tina your citizens are making
an effort to get the Seaboard Air Line
to give you another passenger train out
Of Wilmington that will connect at
Hamlet in the mornings with trains go
ing north and south. This is a good
move and a thing that the travelling
public as a who have q right to de-
mand. A good passenger train service
will do this country infinitely more good
than the results of thousands OF dollars
(oftentimes vainly spent by promoters
street fairs, emigration agencies, etc) DO
It. What we need is something TO go
somewhere and get back before we turn

this move and are willing to help you

The Lite Guards are two regiments of
calvary forming part OF the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart is
proud OF them. Not only the King s
household. but yours, ours, everybody's
should have its life guards. The need Of
them is especially great when the great.
est foes OF life, diseases. find allies in the
very elements, as colds, influenza, ca.
tarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in the
stormy month OF March. The best way
that we know of to guard against these
diseases Is TO strengthen the system with
Hoods Sarsaparilla-the greatest of all
life guards. 1t removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their mos,
successful attack, gives vigor and tone
to all vital organs and functions, and
imparts genial warmth to the blood.
Remember the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hood S
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.

and between the dances the crowd was
entertained by the latest selections by the
phonograph. The large hall proved in
every way its adaptability as popular
