Ate a 15-pound Postum.
(Wilkeshoro Chronicle.l

An accommodating magistrate of the
county was recently asked to go several
miles at night to say over the marriage
ceremony for two couples. He went on
condition that they would furnish 'possum
for supper. That suited; they knew
Squire and had already baked a fifteen
FOUNDER up brown and had taters to go
with it-that's the very thing they e
pected TO persuade him with. Well,
when the ceremony was over they sat
down to supper, at least the Squire did,
for it is the country custom to let the
big ones" eat first. 1t was an exciting
time, kinder like it used to be with us lit
tie fellows when the preacher came and
we watched through the crack to see il
he would leave a single piece of chicken
That 'possum and taters and Squire took
UP together, and when the Squire got VI
and went home the postum did the same
thing, and he wasn't carrying it in his
pocket either. There had to be another
supper prepared for the other folks.

last night in the rooms of the Work

boats would stop at the wharf of that
city. both ways on every trip.
The committee on sports recon-
mended that professional baseball pitch
ers should not be allowed to participate
in the contest for the "Star" silver cup.
The recommendation was made because
it was allaged the winners of last years
game. in order to maintain their ad-
vantage for permanent possession of the
cup, had gone ouside the ranks of or
ganlzed labor for pitching talent.
The carpenters. last years winners.
claim this right, asserting that their
opponents, the old Painters Assembly
being now a mixed one. has a much
larger field from which to select it's
team.
After bearing both sides the executive
committee decided that both teams, to
be eligible, must be composed wholly of
members of organized labor.
The committee on sports further rec
commended that the contests for prizes IN
athletic sports should begin Immediately
after the baseball contest had ended and
continue till darkness prevented further
contests. This was agreed 10 and num-
Der of events for the young people were
added to the schedule. including running.

PICKPOCKETS PREYING
ON TRUE REFORAERS
Several Complaints Made to the
Police of RobberieS.

There is trouble In the camp of the
True Reformers. Their annual session in
their hall at Twelfth and U Streets
very class against whom their direst in
vectives are directed.
In other words pickpockets are at loose
among the negro reformers The first
complaint to be made to the police was
from the Rev. A. w. rruehart, Of
Hampton. Va. who during the sessions
of the True Reformers is stopping ct
924 Twelfth Street northwest. The Rev.
Mr.. Truehart tells the police that Thurs
day afternoon some other reformer
inserted his hand in his hip pocket and
distracted therefrom a yellow pocket
book containing $50 in cash and a round
trip railroad ticket between Richmond,
Va. and Washington
Bette Hicks, of 1912 Eleventh Street
says that about the same time
and place some one made a similar at
tempt upon her pocketbook. which was
frustrated only by his inability TO find
her pocket.
A third complaint was made this morn
ing by William Braxton, another negro,
living at 1881 Seventeenth Street north
west, who says that about IL o'clock
Thursday night his pocketbook. contain
ing $3.50. was abstracted from his left
hip pocket as he was leaving the hall.
He suspects a negro. whose description
he gave to the police. who seemed to be
in an undue hurry in descending the
steps of the hall The police are In
vestigating these charges.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
TO Be INVITED HERE
Matter TO Be Placed Before EXecu-
tive Committee.

Gus A. Schuldt, of Washington. will
probably attend a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National Re-
publican League IN order to invite the
league to hold it's next convention-in
I9O4-in Washington. The executive
committee will meet in Chicago the first
day of October.
Mr.. Schuldt has canvassed Washington
Republican circles to ascertain their
desires IN the matter, and has met with
every encouragement. His canvass was
al first directed toward a convention of
the leagues delegates here IN the COM
ing month of October. but he learned
later that the league will not meet until
1904.
Whether Mr. Schuldt attends the
meeting of the executive committee or
not, an invitation will be extended to
the league to meet in Washington next
year. Should the committee decide to
accept the invitation. Washington would
again be the scene of a large political
gathering after a lapse OF many years.
Nearly all the Republican clubs in the
country are connected with the National
Republican League. and delegates would
come from every State In the Union.
Washington Republicans feel that they
have a strong competitor for the next
convention in ST. Louis. which will offer
the attraction of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. Chicago and Philadelphia
are also mentioned as possibilities for
the 1904 convention
Because Washington is the Capital of
the nation and a beautiful city we'll
adapted to the reception of the Repub-
lican delegates, and because the Presi-
dent would be here to attend the con-
vention, Mr.. Schuldt has hopes OF finally
bringing the convention here.

health again by taking Wine of Cardui.
As regulator of the menstrual periods
Wine of Cardui has never been known
to fail. It has seldom failed to restore
perfect health, even in the most persis-
tent and aggravated case of weakness.
Miss Ida NJ. Snyder, of No. 535 Ber-
gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, has used
Wine of Cardui and she says it helped
her into a new life. Health to Miss
Snyder is worth great deal. She is
an attractive young woman with intel
lectual attachments and she occupies
the position of Treasurer of the Brook
lyn East End Art Club. This position
marks her as person of intellect, cul-
ture and refinement and it speaks highly
of the respect and trust her fellow
women have in her. She writes:

lords Black-Draught, and so ! took it
and have every reason to thank him for
a new life opened Up to me with restored
health, and it only took three months to
cure me-"
You may secure the same relief as
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui
as she took it. Thedford's Black
Draught is the companion medicine of
Wine of Cardui and it is liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in effecting cure. If you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and cure is simple. Some cases
are cured quickly and others take longer
because the disease has run longer.
Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine
of Cardui and has health. The same
medicines are offered you to-day.
