Another Runaway.

A little ripple of excitement was
created yesterday by carriage dash
ing driverleSs across Fayetteville street
at the postof1ice corner. A negro boy,
e. j. Mcdonald, succeeded in swinging
the carriage just at this point and
crawied forward onto the boot. AS the
horse swerved at the next corner, how
ever, on their way to Upchurch's sta
BILE, the boy fearing that he would be
hurled against a post sprang off. The
horses were stopped at the stable with
out any harm having been done.
1t seems that the driver, Willie Tay-
Ior, left MS team for a few minutes
on East Martin street and and they
started for the stables on a run. AS

CAEARREf
A UNIVERSAL DISEASE

Catarrh usually begins with cold in
the head, but does not stop there. The
mucous membranes all become infamed
and secrete a filthy, unhealthy matter
which is absorbed by the blood and dis
tributed to all parts of the body. The
patient is then continually hawking
and splitting, the nose is stopped up,
the cars have a ringing or blfzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the TN
healthy matter more thoroughly satu-
rates the blood general feeling of des-
pondency takes possession of the system.

and no man could have been worse. I

Local applications cannot cure Catarrh,
because they do not reach the seat of the

as soon as they are left off the trouble re-

to treat it through the blood. S. S. S. soon
