A REGULAR CIRCUS
Trying to Give Little Girl Cod Liver
Oil.

An interesting incident was told in W.
W. Parker's drug store the other even
ing.
A man came in and bought-a bottle OF
Vinol and while waiting for change en-
gagged the clerk in conversation.
Said he: owe were told to give our lit
tie girl cod liver OIL | bought bottle
and took it home We had a regular cir
Gus trying to get the child to take it.
Then it did not agree with her at all, the
oil upset her stomach. She did not get
any better, SO told the doctor how we
had failed, and he at once recommended
your Ninol, saying that it contained all
of the curative, healing and strengthen
ing properties of cod liver oil without a
drop of oil, and that children all love it's
taste.
81 took home bottle and we began
to give it to our child right away She
said it was delicious and wanted more.
Almost from the first dose we noticed
change, and she has gained flesh, strength
and appetite and sleeps we'll every night.
II don't believe any one should give
delicate child old-fashioned, nauseating
cod liver oil or emulsions when Vinol is so
delicious, and it does SO much more good
than any other tonic. 1t is simply
wonderful medicine for weak: puny chill
dren, and | am recommending it to my
friends"
eve guarantee Vinol will make weak,
puny children strong, robust, and rosy,
strengthen and invigorate old people and
build up the run down. tired and debili

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing it's work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Bring in Another Horse"

The GOLD LEAF wants TO enter a
protest against working the fire de-
Partment horse to the street cart.
He is too valuable an animal to be
put to such base use in the first place
and then he ought to be kept at the
fire house" all the time. If the town
is going to maintain a fire depart
ment and horse to pull the appa-
ratus it should do SO. When the
alarm OF fire was given at Parham's
gin last week the horse was hitched
to the cart away up street and had
to be carried back, unhitched and
put to the wagon before it could be
gotten out. That is not business,
nor is it economy We think. A cheap
or horse or mule can do the street
work just as well. We repeat, this
horse is too valuable an animal to
pull the street sprinkler or garbage
cart. He is noble, intelligent fell
low and with proper care and train
ing he can be made a splendid and
serviceable horse for fire department
purposes. But hacked about on the
streets, doing the work of a common
dray horse, he will be dull and stiff
even if there should be no loss of time
in getting him to his place of business
and hooked up in shape when there
is an alarm of fire.

Circus Performer Breaks His Neck.

Persons who saw tire Van Amburg
Show when it exhibited in Henderson
a few weeks ago will recall the per-
lcrmances OF the young man who
walked q slack wire blindfolded, with
his feet encased in a sack, etc. He
occupied position nearest the en-
trance and was a finished artist in
his line. While performing in Wades-
boro last week he fell and broke his
neck. The Messenger and Intelligent
Ger gives the following account:
An unfortunate accident, resulting in
the death OF one of the performers of the
Van Amburg circus, occurred during the
performance of the show here Monday
night. The victim OF the accident was
Robert Veno, a slack wire artist. and a
fine looking, attractive young fellow.
One OF his difficult feats was to walk
back and forth over the wire with tow
sack over his head, and it was while 60
ing through with this trick that the dis
tressing event occurred. The direct cause
OF the accident was probably fight that
occurred between number of young
men OF the town and some OF the en-
plOyees Of the show Is Veno was in
the act OF placing the sack over his head
his attention was directed to this fight,
and just as the sack obscured his vision
he lost his balance and fell to the ground,
a distance OF seven feet, striking on his
head and one shoulder. The unfortunate
young man was immeditely removed to
the dressing room of the circus and it
was at once apparent that he was badly
hurt. DR.. j. Fl. Bennett was summoned
and after he had made an examination
he gave it as his opinion that Veno' meek
was broken and advised that he be car
ried to a hospital. Fortunately the $50
train for Charlotte was delayed and the
wounded man was placed on a stretcher
and carried to the depot in time to catch
this train. He was placed in one Of the
coaches, but died before the train reach
ed Charlotte.
