Years Declares:
"CUTICURA TREATMENT J
Is A BLESSING"

"At all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Gu
ticura. 1t saved me from worse than
the tortures of hades, about the year
1900, with fishing on my scalp and
temples, and afterwards it commenced
to break out on my hands. Then it
broke out on my limbs. l was advised
to use salt and water, which [ did, to
no effect. 1then went to a Surgeon, who
commenced treating me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me no good,
but rather aggravated the disease. I
then told him I would go and see a ply
sician in Erie. The reply was that I
could go anywhere, but a case of
that | was too old (8O). [ went to an
eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for SIX months, with
like results. [ had read of the Gu
ticura Remedies often. ] was strongly
tempted to give them a trial, SO [ sent
for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent and continued taking the
Resolvent until l had taken six bottles,
stopping it to take the Pills. Twas now
getting better. I took two baths a day,
and at night let the lather of the Soap
dry on. [ used the Ointment with
great effect after washing in warm
water, to stop the itching at once. {
am now cured.
1.-THE Cuticura treatment is a blessing
and should be used by every one who
has itching Of the skin. I can't say any
more, and thank God hat He has given
the world such a curative. You can
use this letter as you please. 4 very

New EngIandes who still insists that
the Caroliua boy should be taught
that "Trilliums have three petals"
and that "King crabs (really do)
have five eyes," then every other
Southern State will do likewise. 1t
seems to be a fight against the field.
Corporations always stand together.
If these teachers win out, the gap
will be let down and encouragement
offered other teachers to enter the
field CT text book writing. So SUI
perior is this series Of writing books
to any others offered for sale in this
State for the past five years, that its
adoption for State use would seem
advisable, I'VE though it bore the
names Of parties altogether unknown
to the teaching profession Of this
State, rnuch more when it bears the
names of teachers whose work III
our own schools and elsewhere is q
matter OF record.

In this same Book Four we find

verities: Stamp Act resistance at

The Halifax convention, April II,

Book Two has copies based on

Book Three has copies based on
stories relating to u first settlers.
Book Four deals with facts con-

Book Five deals with facts con-

Book Six has copies based upon

The foregoing is intended to give
nothing more than a sketch Of the
books-their nature is such that it
would be difficult to do otherwise.

to combine the teaching Of local his

This idea Of l0calizjng a writing

the teaching Of our states history, is
altogether a new one, but one that
has received the commendation OF
the teaching profession. Certainly

CANE PRESENTATION.
Retiring Postmaster D0bSoI
is HOnOFed by the Men
Who Served In
der Him.

The ARGUS made note 0 We'd
nesday Of the beautiful and appro-
priately engraved walking cane pre-
sented to Mr.. J. T. DObsOn, retiring
postmaster Of this city, by the en-
ployees who had served under him.
The presentation was made by Mr..
E. A. Simkins, assistant postmaster,
who spoke as follows:
"Mr. Dobson:-In behalf of the
employees Of this Office, who have
served undsr you SO long, with such
invariably pleasant relations, and as
a token of the high regard and
esteem in which you are held by this
entire force, / am requested to pre-
sent to you this cane.
"We realize, Mr.. Dobson, that
this is but a small way in which to
express our appreciation of themany
acts of kindness which you have ex-
tended to us during your admins
t~ration, but we assur you, that with
this presentation goes, in a large
measure, ever abiding good will,
and that you carry with you always,
the best wishes of the employees of
this Office for your future happiness
and prosperity"
Mr.. Dobsen was deeply touched
he is imam of appreciation and deep
emotions, characteristics creditable to
any man-and it was some moments
before he could compose himself. He
then replied in these words:
"Mr.Simpkins:-I% appreciate, more
than I can find words to express,
this evidence of your good will, and
while / have striven in some degree
to deserve it, it is a very great pleas
ure to me to find that you appreciate
my efforts in this behalf, I accept
this token Of your friendship and
good feeling, and shall prize it be-
cause Of the friendly spirit that
prompted you to bestow it.
81 shall carry with me intom my re-
tirement the fond re%collections of a
most agreeable association with each
and every u of you in the arduous
duties that we have had to perform,
and trust that we may yet have
many happy meetings, that we may
keep alive the Intimacy that has al
ways existed among US, and so
Let fate do her worst, there are relics of JOY,
Bright dreams OF the past which she cannot de-
stroy,
Which come in the nighttime Of sorrow and
care,
And bring back the features that Joy used tc
wear"
The ARGUS, in common with the
great majority of the patrons of the
Goldsboro Postoffice, which he has
served so efficiently and at all times
SO cheerfully accommodating, is glad
that Mr.. DobsOn was thus honored
by the employees who have served
under him aud who know with what
zeal and pleasure he has at all times
sustained the duties CT his office,
both in relation 10 the government
and to The people.
G%oldsboro has " had a better
or more acceptable postmaster, and
this is indeed q proud distinction for
bim to bear with him into his retire
ment.

If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandrur germs do not

fact that a rabbit i~nnoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.

badness is the destruction Of the germ
which act is successfully accomplished
in one hundred per cent. of cases by
