ENTERTAINMENT AT EiI>ON
Miss Fearless and Company Present
ed by Local Talent.

Correspondence of The M~essenger)
Faison, N. c., July 5.
Our people were highly entertained
at the Academy last night with the
performance by local talent, Miss
Fearless and Company" The charac-
tiers were we'll placed, fro mthe veal
thy heiress, her friends, the Irish watt
ress, and the old fashioned country
friend, who came to renew her ac-
quaintance with ;he heiress. This play
was given under the direction of Miss
Sarah Peck Hines, Our accomplished
reader and expressionist, and with the
successful support given by many of
u talented young ladies, there is
much pleasure anticipated in the flu
ture productions of this company.
Little Miss Margaret Hinesberger, act
ing the part Of the street waif, elicit
ed applause with her cuteness, and
struck a pang Of sympathy, that many
young minds and hearts are used to
carry out the nefariOus schemes Of
older neddS.
These young ladies gave this enter
tainment for a benevolent cause, and
will reproduce the same characters
! soon, for the benefit of the little girl
that is now under pasteur treatment,
from a rabid dog bite. They contem-
plate entertaining the sister towns,
Clinton and Warsaw, and these places
, are to be congratulated if they carry
out this purpose.
This was strictly a feminine produc
ton in cast and characters, and were
forced to produce a dummy man" TO
make life endurable 10 them.

Damn ged the Tobacco CrOp

'A> bGS ShOps
Hartford Conn, July 6.-Wind, hail
and rain caused damage to the extent
OF man thousand dollars to the tobac-
co crop in the Windsor district today.
The storm which swept over hat sec
ton OF the state being one of the most
disastrous in years from the stand
point of the tobacco growers. Vast
fields of the weed which had grown
to d height Of about two feet We're
!evelled to the ground and some of the
growers related tonight that the crop
i'll their district was practically ruin
ed.
The storm set in late In the after
noon and centered about Windsor,
which is the largest tobacco growing
section in Connecticut. Growers to
the west of this city suffered little
and from reports from other lccall-
ties it is learned that while the storm
was severe the tobacco crop escaped
destruction.
Some of the tobacco ruined in the
Windsor district was drowned out by
The heavy downpour Of rain while that
in other fields was cut down by the
hail.

Responsible People.

DEOPLE occupying positions Of high
! responsibility and trust are always
very busy people.
They have little or no time to devote
to side issues.
1t is therefore very rare that such peo-
pie are willing to write testimonials for
anything.
Then again there is a natural diff
dence in giving public endorsement to
any commercial enterprise on the part
Of people who are much before the
public.
Rare Endorsements.
1t is thus that it Is very rare that pub
lie officials, like governors, congress
men, %consuis, senators, etc, give public
endorsement to a proprietary medi-
cine.
1t is therefore a great triumph that
Peruna has the unqualified endorse
ment of SO many men in official posi-
ton.
Scores of public officials of national
reputation have enthusiastically de
clared i'll favor Of Peruna in public
print over and over again.

When a person has been really helped
IN getting rid of some chronic malady,
after other things have failed, 1t is quite
natural for enthusiasm to lead people
TO make a statement of the fact.
For great services, gratitude is nat
ural.
This is the only way tina il can posi-
bly, be explained why it is hat 20 many
persons prominent in public, diplomatic
and social life give testimony for
Peruna.
Actual Benefit.
Peruna promptly relieves.
This is the explanation.
Catarrh is a disease difficult to relieve.
A great many of the doctors fail to
relieve it.
Gratitude Results.
A few bottles of Peruna cure a chronic
malady Of many years standing n 1T is

Since its establishment forty

been a veritable hotbed of crime.

The very atrocity of the crime
forbade authorities winking It it.
The criminals were clumsy in max

DRAFTS COUNTER CONTRACT

At meeting Of the special railroad
committee Saturday evening a coun.
ter contract was drawn up for sub
mission to the promoters Of the Cof-
feyyille g. Memphis road. While the
contract submitted to the CONNER
cial club by the railroad people through
their representative, Mr.. ]. P. Casey,

tanned one or two clauses which the
eommitte thought might be improved
upon, or at least, made more explicit.
These changes were made in the new
contract and If the railroad people
sign the document as submitted, work
may proceed at once on the new line.
1t is provided in the contract that
work shall begin on the road within
eight months from date of final ac-
ceptance OF same and trains carrying

RESCUED HIM VILE pETTIcoAr
Bull Treed Swain and che Girl Lured
the Beast Away.

A bull and an opposite red petticoat
were the means Of reconciling George
Hoyt and Miss Ella Goodman, who
were lovers once, but estranged more
or less of the last year.
Hoyt and Edward Cowles were
walking through a field at Oxford
Conn, when they were charged by a
bull A tree in the middle of the field
afforded them an asylum. They gained
it by the thin margin OF a coat tail.
The bull laid siege, and for an hom
the young men surveyed the horizon
for rescue. Then a carriage ap-
preached and they signaled It with a
coat on the end of long stick.
The carriage contained young
woman whom neither recognized at
that distance But she proved to be a
person Of resources Tying her horse
to the nearest rail fence, she vanished
into the nearest clump of bushes and
soon reappeared. waving a scarlet pet
ticoat
For ten minutes she stood on the
stone wall and solemnly wigwagged at
the bull with the flaming piece Of ap
parel Then the bull took notice.
AS he approached the young woman
fed down the field along the wall, still
waving the sillSen scarlet challenge.
The bull pursued, believing. At the
far corner Of the field a fence barred
his progress. On the safe side of the
fence the young woman kept on wav.
ing while the two young men slipped
out Of their tree and then out of the
field
They fastened to meet and greet the
young woman. Much to the surprise
of Cowles, Hoyt and the heroine fell
into each others arms as soon as they
were near enough.
The girl was Miss Goodman. Hoyt
had in his pocket the ring she had re
turned to him. He put it on her finger
and she said, it is said, that it would
stay there until a certain dav.
