About rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict
more torture than rheumatism and there
is probably no disease for which such a
varied and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say thatit can be
be cured is, therefore, bold statement
to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm
which enjoys an extensive sale, has me-
with great success in the treatment O
the disease. One application Of Pair
Balm will relieve the pain, and hun
dreds of sufferers have testified to per
manent cures by it's use. Why sutfe
when Pain Balm affords such quick re
lief and costs but trifle. For sale b.
all druggists.

Than Deakins made a trip to Dunlap
last week after his new goods, which
were shipped to him from Chattanooga.
M. D. Smith was in Dunlap this week
for medical attendance. He has not
been in the best of health for some
time, but we hope to learn of his COM
plete recovery. They have gone today
to bring him home.
1t is sad to pen the death Of Mrs.
Nancy Sawyers, who died at Dunlap last
week. She was a member Of the Cum
berland Presby terian Church, and a
good member. She was laid to rest in
the Dunlap cemetery by her husband.
We truly sympathize with the bereav-
ed friends. She has gone to better
land where parting is no more.

Brother of General Julian S. Carr.

Durham N. c., Special.-All OF Dur
ham was Mortified early Friday morn
ing when the nows spread rapidly over
the streets that DR.. A. G. Carr, one OF
Durham's old and highly honored cit
izens and one among the best known
physicians in the State, had taken his
own life. He committed suicide in
his elegant home on East Main street
at 6:45 O'Clock, using q 32.callibre pls-
tol and firing one shot into his brain.
The barrel Of the pistol was placed
In his right ear and the ball reached
IA vital spot. death following instnat-
ly.
At the time Of the suicide there
were but three persons in the house
DR.. Carr, his wife, Mrs. Annie Carr,
and the cook. The only son who is
now at home, Mr.. William Carr, had
left but few minutes before for the
Durham Hosiery Mill, where he holds
a position. The muf1ed shot was
heard by the cook, who was on the
FIRST floor almost Immediately under
the bath room, where the tragedy was
enacted. She ran up stairs and found
DR.. Carr in small closet, connecting
with the bath room, in kneeling po.
sition with blood streaming from ms
head. She ran back down stairs and
told Mrs. Carr and then told the col
ored man who was at the stable when
the shot was fired. The latter ran
into the bath room and then Went
to the house of Col Harper Erwin,
lust across the street, and told him
to come quickly. This he did and just
as he ran into the bath room and
raised the head of the doctor, he
breathed his last. He never uttered a
word after the leaden messenger OF
death was fired into his brain. Coro-
ner Maddry was summoned and exam
ined into the facts surrounding MS
death. but an inquest was not deemed
necessary and the body was turned
over to the undertaken.
FAILURE OF HEALTH THE CAUSE.
There is no doubt but that failing
health and melancholia caused by his
physical condition caused him to take
the rash step. For three months or
more he had been greatly depressed
and did not seeem like his former
self. He was detected and care-worn.
Several times he expressed himself as
wishing that the end would conle SO
that he could pass away from his
sufferings. No one, however, anticipat'
ed that he would take his own life.
The dead man was last seen alive
by his son. When Mr.. Will Carr
started to the hosiery mill about 6:3O
O'Clock, he saw his father. who was
in his night clothes and going towards
the bath room.
The position of the dead man when
found was such as to leave no doubt
but that he knelt in prayer and then
fred the fatal shot.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT..
A Lot Of Trouble Fran Too Much Starch
Food.

A little boy Of eight years whose
parents did not feed him OH the right
kind Of food, was always nervous and
suffered from weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he Was
taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grapc-Nuts twice day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter. his Father states,
"Hc has grown to be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs G2 pounds,
and his whole system is in a fine con-
dition of health Name given by
Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put on
Grapc-Nuts at an earlier period in his
life, and kept from the use of foods
that lie could not digest. lie never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undgested food
decayins in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, setting
ND n diseased condition which is the
active cause or appendicitis. and this
is more marked with people who do not
properly digest White bread.
Grape-Nuts is made Of the selected
nnrts Of wheat and barley End by the
peculiar processes Of the cooking at the
factory, all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centres.

certain seasons of the year it IS warm.
er in Greenland than in southern Eu.
rope. And this occurs during the long
sunless winter of the Polar regions.
The cause which leads to it is not
unknown in other countries. Thus in
Switzerland a warm, dry wind, called
the foehm wind, at times blows down
from the snow.covered mountains in
autumn and winter, and suddenly
melts and carries off the snow, drying
up the atmosphere.
In the northwestern United States
there is similar wind called the CHI
nook wind. So in Greenland at irregu.
lar intervals warm wind blows down
from the snow.covered interior, bring
ing an extensive tilaw in January and
February AS a result We have the
extraordinary fact that during eight
consecutive days in November and
December, 1875, it was warmer In Ja-
cokshavn, In latitude GO degrees 20
minutes, than in northern Italy. Up
ernavih, another town OF Greenland,

HoW Railroad Men Get Their Engine
Off "Dead Center"
A travelling man relates that while
riding on the new Orient line between
Harper and Anthony few days ago.
one of the side rods Of the engine
broke, and the other side stopped on
dead center" so that when the re-
pair was made it was impossible to
start the train again. He says:
The engineer. the conductor, and
all the passengers took turns going
over the thing and trying to devise
way to make it run. Finally a boy
came out of the field where he had
been blowing to see what was going
on. He crawled through the wire
fence and sat down on the bank and
famed himself with his straw hat.
"'If you'd back that last car up the
grade an let 'er come down kerchunk,
that 'ud start her, he finally suggest
ed, deliberately.
"The railroad men shifted contempt
uously, but the passengers sided with
the boy. Finally the conductor gave
orders that the rear car be uncoupied.
No less than fifty passengers caught
hold and pushed the car up the grade.
Orce at the top the car was let go.
The loose coach gained momentum as
it came down the hill. and in spite OF
the engineers admonition TO let her
come down easy the emergency hat
tering ram crashed into the train with
tremendous thnmr. The engine was

Unioue Cyc,inu Fear.

What is perhaps an unparalleled
feat in cycling is reported in a recent
Australian mail. A one.legged cyclist
has successfully pedaled his way from
Rockhampton to Sydney, a distance
of about 1,400 miles by road measure
ment. Not counting delays and stop
pages,, he did the journey in twenty
eight days on machine provided with
only single pedal. He achieved
ninety miles on his best day; and on
his worst, in bad, rough country, no
did not sink below thirty. He is now
going to essay the more perilous feat
of crossing Australia from Adelaide in
the south to Port Darwin in the north,
distance of 1000 miles, largely un.
inhabited and waterless.
