Who USES HYOMEI.
The Best People In Goldsboro
Says ]. H. Hill & Son.

No other remedy or treatment for ca
tarrh has ever been as popular or made
so many remarkable cures in Colds
boro as Hyomei.
The best people attest it's curative
virtues in catarrhal troubles, says J.
H. Hill & Son, who are the local agents.
The fair way in which Hyomei was
sold, to refund the money unless it gave
satisfaction, was the best proof when it
was introduced that it possessed I'M
usual curative powers. j. 81. Hill &
Son took all the risk of the treatment
giving satisfaction, and left it to the
purchasers to be the judge.
The sales rapidly grew Inc to-day
there is no other remedy in J. III. Hill
81 Sons stock that has such a large and
staple sale.
The first breath of Hyomei's healing
air kills all catarrhal poison.
Try Hyomei to-day on ]. III. Hill &
Sons offer to refund the money if the
treatment does not give you satisfac-
ton.

the great steel tube under the Hudson
river connecting New Jersey and Man.

traffic today. President Roosevelt, in
the executive mansion at Washington,
pressed a button that flashed the sig

tunnel. On board the first train wer.
Governor Hughes, of New York, GOV
ernor Fort, of New Jersey, the mayor,
of New York city, Hoboken and Jer
sey City, and the officials OF the con
struction and rapid transit companie,
that have made the great undertaking
an plished fact alter Il quarter OF
a century had elapsed since the pro-
ject was first conceived.
The first train covered the distanc,
OF three and a quarter miles in less
than fifteen minutes. Arriving at the
Nineteenth street terminal of the tun
mel system, the distinguished particI-
pants in the dedication ceremonies re
paired to SherrN's, where an elaborate
banquet was spread in further celebra-
ton of the i'm portant event.
The opening of this tunnel, known
as the south tub OF the North river
tunnel system, marks the completion
OF the frs section of the great under
ground railroad system that is to con-
meet New York city with the New Jer-
sey side of the river, and which will do
away with the slow Jerry boats that
for years rave carried the tens of
thousands OF passengers tina cross the
North river daily.
The great terminals at Hoboken,

gers from the various railroad and
