splendid health, the endowment of a
healthy mother.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription gives
the mother health to give her child. 1t
cures nervousness, nausea and sleepless-
ness. 1t makes the body comfortable and
the mind content. 1t gives physical
vigor and muscular elasticity so that the
baby's advent is practically painless.
81 will endeavor to tell you of the many
benefits have derived from taking DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription" writes Mrs. b T.. Robert
SON. Of Medicine Lodge, Barber Co.. Kans. "In
the fall of 1899 | was expecting to become
mother and suffered terribly with pains in the
back of head in fact / ached all over. Suffered
with awful bearing-do pains; was threat
ened for weeks with misliap. A lady friend
told me to use DR.. Pierce's medicines. She had
taken them and felt like new woman. l began
using the 'Favorite Prescription and took four
bottles before my baby came and two after
wards. I suffered almost death with my other
two children, but hardly realized that l was
sick when this baby was born and she weighed
twelve and one-qnarter pounds. She is now
eleven months old aud has never known an
hours sickness; at present she weighs thirty
seven pounds. I owe it all to DR.. P'erce's
Favorite Prescription"
oFavorite Prescription" makes weak
women strong, and sick women we'll.
Accept no substitute: for the medicine
which works wonders for weak women.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
most desirable laxative for delicate
women.

Great interest is being shown by the
golf clubs OF the state, in the Vermont
state championship which will be played
on the course of the Ekwanok Country

cally every club in the state being repre-.
sented. At the time Of this tournament
a Vermont State Colt Association will be
formed and annual tournaments will be
arranged for. The old Pine Club may
not enter the championship lists, but II
will be represented at the meeting anc

A st. Johnsbury Artists Work.

The St. Johnsbury friends of Miss Helen
S. Patterson, who has already achieved
enviabIe success in art, will be especially
interested in work upon which sheis now
engaged in Bostou-no less work than
the decoration of an Illuminated and
very costly edition of the Novels, Tales,
VaudeviIles, Life and "reminiscences Of
Charles Paul de Kock. The edition is to
be limited to ten sets of ten volumes
each. The price will be $35, 900 per set.
The decorations are to be put in by hand
that is, the initials, head and tail pieces,
title pages and all illuminations-and 1t
is expected that Miss Patterson will
have charge of this work, with FIVE as
sistants. 1t will probably be two years
before the edition is out. 1t is marked
compliment to Miss Patterson's artistic
taste and ability that she has been ap-
pointed to this delicate and important
task by the publishers, the Frederick J.
Ouimby Company. Her friends will sim
cerelv congratulate her on her tlattering
success in her chosen profession. Miss
Ella Grace Brown, who spent last Sum-
mer in St. Johnsbury, will be Miss Pat
terson's chiet assistant in this work. The
decoration is to be done from original
designs by Misses Patterson and Brown.

sure to receive full value for the time and
money invested. There is much variety
in the play, the country and city scenes
giving a pleasant variation, and the

to place the matter before the public and

He Welcomed A Guest to His Own
Funeral.

1t is rather unusual for a man to be
privileged to go to the depot az. vel
come guests coming to his own funeral,
but this is exactly what fell to the lot of
our genial letter carrier, Capt. Henry w.
Ellis, one day last week. This is how it
happened. Capt. Ellis father in-law, R.
N. Soue of Portland, was in Boston and
received a telegram from Mrs. Soule,
stating that Henry" was dead and that
the funeral would be held at 2 O'Clock on
certain day. MIR. Soule was much agi-
tated at the sudden and terrible news
but made all arrangements to attend the
funeral. He missed the night train, how
ever, and not being able to reach here
until two hours after the time appointed
for the funeral, telegraphed Mrs. Ellis
that he would be here, but not to delay
the obsequies on his account. This was
the first intimation Henry received that
funeral in his family was due, and wher
S the air line arrived that afternoon h
: was at the depot to learn further par
ticuIars. Mr.. Soule's astonishment may
be imagined when he stepped from thu
) train and was greeted by the man whom
he bad come to weep over. The explana
ton Of the affair is that a relative OF Mr..
Soule's in Portland bearing the not un-
usual name of Henry" did die and was
buried, but Mr.. Soule came to the wrong
place to attend the funeral.

BUNCOMBEALLR RIGHT
1t Will Give a Democratic Ma

Hon. Chas. A. Webb, D Democratic Candidate foj
the State Senate, Saws Thero is No
Doubt Of Gudger's Election.

Hon. Charles 5. Webb. Democratic
candidate for the state senate in Bun
combe county. Is in the city and IS the
guest OF his brother. Mr.. Alex Webb. He
i one Of the wisest and most popular Of
the young Democratic leaders in Nes-
tern North Carolina. and fully under
stands the political situation in the
Tenth district. Speaking Of il last night.
Mr.. Webb said.
The political situation in Buncombe
is very satisfactory 10 the Democrats
We are Well organized and are at work.
In fact our condition is far better than
il was two years ago when We carried
the county By an average majority OF
GOO. With the Acknowledgement Of At
least q thousand negroes, and again OF
three hundred on the poll tax provision
OF the amendment. We confidently eXpect
to carry Buncombe BY two thousand ma
jority. These are the figures our chair
man estimate as the majority for the
entire ticket.
There is not any doubt in my own
mind about Gudger's election 70 Congress
from the Tenth district. The Republi-
cans practically concede il, for a few
days ago ! saw the estimate Of a pTomi-
nent Republican on Moody's majority
and he placed il at only 20. and 10 dc
this. ne gave Gudger only $50 majority
in Buncombe and 200 in Rutherford.
'The so-called independent movement
is a failure IN Buncombe also. 4 few
sore head Democrats We're nominated By
The Republicans. but they can not contro.
al III outside Of fifty Democratic votes.
There is great discord among many
straight Republicans Who wanted {
straight Republican ticket. ! large
number have declared that they Will not
| support the Citizen ticket. An Oh line
Republican is running for sheriff. and
another old line Republican is running a

lature.

TIE INSANE OF THESTATE.
Contrast Between the Care By The Fusionists
and Democrats.

To the Editor: The Legislatures OF
1897 and 1879 reduced the ap-
preparations for the State Hos
pital for the Insane 10 per cent. not
w~ithstanding the number OF inmates We're
greatly increased in all the hospitals.
In consequence Of this decrease in APP
preparations. there was a deficit in the
annual statements OF these institutions
amounting n the case OF the Western
Hospital at Morganton TO twenty thou
sand dollars at the end OF the year 800.
During the year 1860 more than TWO
hundred applicants We're refused admis-
sion into the hospitals for want OF room.
This condition of affairs confronted the
Legislature Of 1901 to remedy. for which
large appropriations We're required. not
alone for maintenance. but for paying
debts incurred. and TO increase the ca
pacity OF the buildings for the accommo-
dation OF such insane persons as were
confined in iails and other improper
places. because there was 10 room for
them al the hospitals. See Report OF
Board Of Public Charities, December y.
| 1900.
For the years 1S97-.9S-'99 and 1000 the
appropriations for the Hospital at MGR
canton for all purposes We're only 800
600 a Year. For the hospital at Raleigh
less than S65. 000. and for the hospital at
Goldsboro about 500. 600.
The Legislature OF 1901. after carefully
~canVaSsing the requirements of these in
situations found il necessary. in order 10
put them on a decent living basis to ap-
/ propriate for the two succeeding years a.
follows: For the Western Hospital one
hundred and sixtv-fve thousand dollars
a year. For the Central Hospital seventy
seven thousand seven hundred and fifty
dollars and for the Eastern HOSPITAL
~seTenty-tWo thousand five hundred dol
lars. OF this sum more than one hundred
thousand dollars went for buildings. re-
pairs. equipments and debts: the remain
der for maintenance.
The examination OF the accounts OF
these institutions for the years 1901 and
1902 Will show that the above approDria-
lions We're not in excess OF the REQUIRE
ments. but We're necessary for the propeT
administration Of the affairs of the hos
pitfalls.
