When old age comes on, catarrhal dis

most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
SO Indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only

Such cases cannot be treated locally
nothing but an effective systemic rem.

to something over $1,000.
Steps were then taken to pay off the
balance of the debt, and after all that
could be done at that time was done.
there remained a bonded debt of SIS
900 on the property, bearing 4 per cent.
interest. The board Of church extern
sion, of the North Carolina conference,
proceeded to raise a sum sufficient to
pay the interest and these bonds. This
was done annually for five years. The
bonds fell due on the End day of this
month CAST Wednesday,, and through
the kindness of the bondholders. the
bonds were bought in from the two
largest holders for sc 2-3 and 70 cents
on the dollar. So the bonds nave all
been paid, except a few that have not
been presented, n there is money in
the bank to pay them off just as soon
as they are presented.
The whole community reioices with
the congregation in the payment of this
debt. If this had been an individual
enterprise it would long since have gone
into liquidation, and the huge debt
would have been paid. While il
has been a sore trail to all who have
been connected with it, there is cause
for rejoicing at the final success of the
work of redemption. No doubt the
church Will go forward, now with re-
w vigor. and the moral effort will
be good for the cause of Christianity.
Three of the old pastors of the church
have been here rejoicing with the Rev.
j. II. Hall, and his congregation this
week, Rev r c.. Beaman, who was
here when the church was built, Rev.
DR.. L. L. Nash who came to the church
in it's darkest hour, and Rev. w. L..
Cuninggim who followed DR.. Nash.
Rev. w. L. Cuninggim preached a most
appropriate sermon on Wednesday
evening from 1 Sam xiv, 6. Rev. r. c..
Beaman preached a strong sermon on
the inheritance of the church." Fri
day night DR.. Nash preached on THE

Bishop A. w. Wilson, the senior effec-

morning and evening.
AT these services, there will be special
music by the choir and DR.. Wilson be-

of our people, who are invited to join
with them in this the last services Of

Messenger Bureau.

Raleigh, N. c., October 4.
The state tax commission is now re-
ceiving reports from the various coun-
ties, giving assessed valuation, &c.
These returns are being carefully ex-
amined. The commission will as a body
go to all the counties which send W.
satisfactory returns and will confer
with and instruct the assessors and oti-
err officials.
1t is said by some persons that the
crusade here against the sale of soft
drinks, cigars and tobacco on Sunday,
which failed so signally, was to have
been the prelude to a prohibition move
ment.
The state superintendent of public
instruction has received the reports
from all the county treasurers saw
those of Buncombe and Haywood, and
from all the county superintendea.-
save those Of Buncombe and Martin.
The chemists this e completed the
taking of samples of foods for tests I'M
der the pure food act. The report on
the samples taken for h year ended
June 80 will appear in the next bulle-
tin Of the Agricultural department. Tho
analyses of the samples now k will
be published next year. The chemists
were asked by your correspondent what
were the chief articles of food adulter-
ated and replied that first of all come
jellies, jams, etc. The adulteration of
these is gross. Taking as a basis
starch paste, this is heated until it jel-
lies, it is colored with a dye made Of
coal tar, sweetened with saccharine.
which though costing SIS a pound is 500
tines Sweeter than sugar, and then a
49, or
formaldehyde, is added. There is found
to be very considerable adulteration.
The reports are dry and the general
public does not read them but it ought
to do So. What is needed is a statement
regarding these authorizations, put in the
plainest terms. The seizure and dis
truction of adulterated God ought 10
be made feature.
Senator Simmons is east, speaking.
He spoke at Greenville today.
Most white voters here are registering
under the grand father clause" Of the
amended constitution and thus are
saving themselves the trouble OF again
| registering by getting on the permanent
roll. So far the registration is slow.
There will be no doubt a large white
registration.
1t is evidently the purpose OF the re-
| publicans TO have George Butler as the
| anti-democratic nominee for congress
against Charles R.. Thomas, n it is
| equally clear that they count on the
| populists nominating Butler.
The cotton receipts here to date this
season are more than thrice as great
| as they were to the same date last year.

over 1.250, 0c0 pounds. This is REGARDED

Correspondence Of The Messenger.)
Goldsboro, N. c., October 8.
The question of a passenger depot
came up in a meeting of the city alder
men last night and a communication
was read from General Manager ]. f.
Kenly in which he stated that a meet
ing of the officials of the Southern rail-
way, the Atlantic and North Carolina
railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line
when the question of a passenger depot
for Goldsboro would be discussed in de-
tail. A similar letter was read from
Mr.. Jas. r. Bryan, president of the At
lantic and North Carolina railroad and
it begins to look now as if Goldsboro is
going to get the depot which she has
so lOng needed.
The city will use crushed rock as a
pavement for Walnut street instead of
brick, which had already been placed
on the scene, but which was thought to
be too soft to answer the purpose.
At the lowest calculation there was a
quarter of a million pounds of leaf to-
bacco sold on this market from country
carts today.
The performance by the company
which presented "Reaping the Harvest"
in the Messenger opera house last night
was the best seen here for years. The
company deserves a W house
everywhere, such as they got here last
night.
