Some sennonnhIe Advice.

1t may be a piece OF superfuous advice
to urge people at this season Of the year to
lay in a supply of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be needed
before winter is over. and much more
prompt and satisfactory results are OBJ
tanned when taken as soon as a cold is con-
tracted and before it has become settled in
the system, which can only be done by
keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy
is so widely known and so altogether good
that no one should hesitate about buying
1t in preference TO any other.

is at present on the side of the con

WadesbOro's OpDortunity-

"WadesbOro has the opportunity of
her life. By some unhappy dispersal
ton of fortunte we missed the pre-
chapter of the controversy, but
from a recent communication i'm the
Messenger we judge that a controversy
is On between Judge X. II. Bennett and
Rev. Chas. II. Martin. 1t seems that
some lines Of poetry composed by he
preacher did not suit the judge. The
poet In n communication of which
mention is made above, undertook TO
recast them in the hope of bringing
them nearer to his critics standards of
taste and perfection. In SO doing The
poet-preacher found occasion to refer
TO some large oaks-they must have
been large ones-which stood in the
yard Of his childhood's home. Of
these oaks Mr.. Martin, with other op-
pulent thoughts, wrote that they
the Clouds" and that "you
might as we'll expect to cool the sun
by tanning his face with a tomtit's
wing as to kill a bird in their topmost
boughs." Now it is to be supposed
that Judge Bennett has seen some big
trees In his life also that he knows
something about killing birds. This
matter should not be allowed to drop
IN its crude unfinished state. What
Wadesboro wants is to range at the
earliest possible date a wrestling
match between these two two gen
tlemen, with the English language for
a mat 1t is Wadesboro's opportunity.

Catching Birds i'm Mouse Traps.

Some men kill birds with guns, some
with a stone. and boys sometimes kill
them with a bean-shooter when a po-
liceman is not near. Some folks catch
them in nets and some in snares, but
it remained for Mr.. j. w. BrinkIey, of
Barefoot's store. on Goldsboro street,
to cap the climax by catching them in
a mouse trap. He set two or three
traps about the store to destroy the
mice, which had become troublesome
ard. to his astonishment, he found a
bird in one of them after catching
several mice. Mr.. Brinkley is very
confident he will have enough birds by
Xmas to make a pie.-Wilson Times.

The people of The state have bser

those insane persons who have not

who are confined IN jails, county homes

only fol those insane persons wn"se
