Not Prevent Fits.
DR.. Mi1eS'Nervine Cured
My Wife.

DR.. Miles Nervine has been successfully
tried in thousands of cases of nervous dlsor-
ders. but neve1.has it made better record than
when used in the treatment of fits or spasms.
Thousands of testimonials prove this, ana IN
nearly every instance the writer mas st2Ieo
that the fits ceased after the first dose OF Ner,
vine was given. The statement IS repeated
in the following: :,
"Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and | called IN my
home physician and he said she was para,
lived. He rubbed her with salt water ana
gave her calomel and she eventually ,gos
some better, but in short time she mad
another attack. She was confined to nef
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she hnally
got so her Jaws would become locked.
Finally I saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered bottle of DR.. Miles Ks-
storative Nervine. She received so mucn
benefit from the first bottle that got some
more. She has taken a number OF bottles
but has never had a fit since taking the Mst
dose She also thinks very highly OF Dr'
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills and is never
without them. If there is any way OF max
ing this testimonial stronger do SO because
of the good the DR.. Miles Restorative Merry
inc did my wife."-WM. Y. ALLEN, +. NJ

Wake Forest Glee Club.

The Wake Forest Glee Club gave a
splendid entertainment in the opera
hoase Thursday night, Feb. 18th.
Many nice things had been said for the
young men before they came and the
public therefore expected much from
them. One of the largest audiences
that ever assembled In the opera house
greeted them. The entertainment full
ly met all expectations and even sur
passed what some of the most sanguine
had anticipated.
The Glee Club is under the direction
! OF Professor Eatman and every rendi-
tod showed most excellent training.
The music was very fine and all who
heard it heartily agreed with the News
and Observer that the violins in the
hands of Mess. Thomas, Poteat and
Brewer reminded one OF the spring
time when the hooking bird MARBLES
its sweetest notes from amid the fra
grange of apple tree blossoms, notwith-
standing all outside was in tha chill
embrace of ice and snow. One in the
| audience who for years himself has
stroked the violin with master hand,
said that the music was fine, and he paid
high compliment to the entire enter:
tainment The large audience was great
ly delighted, and the young men Went
away feeling that Scotland Neck never
does things stintingly, for they had s
larger audience here and counted better
receipts than in any place they had Wis
tied.
There are twenty young men in til,
club and they we're all quito gentle
manly in their bearing and made ,
fine impression on the people OF Scot
land Neck.
The Wake Forest Glee Club will b.
welcomed here again whenever the.
may feel Inclined to come.

"BOMB SHELLS" BOMB.

Mr.. Editor bomb shells are used
in war times, and soma people expect
to see and We after they die, because
they are blind and dead while they live.
If it's bosh or nonsense to haye two
holes in the same door for the cats
one for the old cats and one for the
klttens-what kind OF aense do you
call it for a town to havela Law which
compels all saloon men to take down
their screens and frosted or painted
windows and let their partitions re-
main across their grog shops? And
what's the use of having a town law
with no one to enforcs it? Stop, look
and listen on the streets some time ;
and the town law prohibiting stock
from running at large is openly and
boldly violated almost every day on
some parts of Main street. This is
wrong and the officer, IT we have one,
should stop it at once. It's dangerous
on account of the children, and a great
injustice and imposition On the ladies
-haylng to stop at some of the corn
ers or crossings and wait for the horses
and sometimes the cows to be run off
the streets and sidewalks so they can
pass out of danger. You know there
are two things lady stands in fear Of
they seem so dangerous to them.
That's loose horse and loose mouse
| One Jumps over the fence and the 9th
er Jumps under it one runs over and
the other runs under one over moves
and the other under moves. The faith
flu! old Tom cat will take up the mice
when they get out of their place, but
where are the faithful officers to take
up the horses?
In fact, where are the town officers
any way?. Are they on strike, over
worked, off on little rest or vacation
and all of them at one time, OF are they
dead ,ompross, qsnsosllimg or too buss
to look after some important things
and take up and prosecute the violators
Of the law?
1t begins to look like the violatorf
of the law have the right OF way II
lS:otland Neck. But it looks now hkt
we will soon have better lights on the
streets. and it's to be hoped that bette
; lights will improve some things which
! We have to put up with now.
The great Kussio-Jap war or some
, thing seems to be causing everything
to be high, making a mighty goo
time for the long-looked-tor electri
, lights to fall in line with other things
: and SO they won't seem 80 high.
' And it looks like they are coming c
