the VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not a
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
| proves the complexion, it whitens the
! teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic
| It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; it
-disinfects the mouth and throat from
| the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart IS Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form, or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the
4 charcoal being mixed with honey.
| The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,
swceter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it is that no possible harm
can result from their continued use, but
on the contrary, great benefit.
Buffalo physician, in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: ~ ad-
wise Stuart IS Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; also believe the liver is greatly
benefited by the daily use of them; they
cost but twenty-five cents box at drug
stores, and although in some sense a
patent preparation, yet ] believe I get
: more and better charcoal in Stuart s
: Charcoal Lozenges than in any Of the
2 ordinary charcoal tablets.'

Blackstone institute Commencement

The Commencement exercises OF
the twelfth annual session of the
Blackstone Institute were the most
successful in the history OF the school.
There was total enrolment OF $50,
an increase of 80. OF this number 3O3
were boarders, an increase OF 46.
Over one hundred applications were
rejected for lack of room. The gradu-
ating class numbered 45. The oihcers
and honors of the class were as fol-
lows: President, Miss Laura Lee Can
non, Vice-President, Miss Elizabeth
Rogers Hunt, Secretary, Miss Nellie
Franklin Swetnam, Treasurer, Miss
Mary Louise Guy, Salutatory, Miss
Ina Morton Hall, History, Miss Mel
lie Franklin Swetnam, Prophecy, Miss
Anna Mable Kennedy, Recomenda-

Testament, Miss Mildred Hope Morse,
Valedictory, Miss Lura Lee Cannon.
Largely over half of the class expect
to teach the coming year. DR.. 5. T..

and inspiring address on the subject
of The South and Education. Nearly
81, 900 was spent during the year for
new building and equipment. The
most important matter before the
Board of Trustees for consideration
was the proposal of Mr.. Carnegie to
give So, 5O0to the school, if the friends
of the school would raise $32, 800. The
Principal reported that he had def

required amount and that he eXpec-

A Card.

Mr.. Editor: In order that the truth
NAV be known, we submit the follow
ing facts; That pursuant to a notlce
printed in one or more OF the county
papers a democratic massmeeting
was held in Kent's Hall, Parksley,
Va, on the night of the oath day of
May for the purpose of selecting the
democratic nominees to fill the va
rious offices of the town of Parksley
for the coming term; that said meet
ing was largely attended. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were easily noml-
mated to make up the full democratic
ticket viz: VIM. Nick. Taylor, mayor,
Geo. @. Matthews, Harry A. Parks,
John II. Matthews. Richard Hickman,
Robert L. Parkes and Geo. l.. NC
Cready, councilmen, Jno. L White,
recorder.
A resolution was solemnly adopted
without dissenting voice pledging
all who participated in said meeting
to support the nominees. On the fol-
lowing day few who had participa-
ted in the massmeeting of the night
before-part of whom were defeated IN
meeting assembled and nominated a
full pledged independent ticket com
posed of gentlemen who represent the
various political sects and creeds of
the land. Now in view of the political
complication referred to, we think it
only fair and just to say, that under
no consideration will we allow our
names to be used in the coming town
election.
To our friends who saw fit to nomi-
nate us. we have nothing to offer but
gratitude and devotion to those who
| thought it proper to oppose us, we
offer charity and smiles; and to our
newspaper friends who are enjoying
the embryonic state of existance we
would commend the activity and
zeal of the enterprise" for acquir'
| ing the news, even though it be the
political cognomens" of the various
| factions of the various towns of the
Shore.
