Tearing his shirt from his back an Ohio man flagged a train and saved it from a wreck, but H T Alston, Raleigh, N C, once prevented a wreck with Electric Bitters. "Iwas in a terrible plight when I began to use them," he writes, "my stomach, head, back and kidneys were all badly affected and my liver was in bad condition, but four bottles of Electric bitters made me feel like a new man." A trial will convince you of their matchless merit for any stomach, liver or kidney trouble. Price 50 cents at M L Allen's. adv. bcr.

He is popular and widely known and is now one of the leading business men in eastern Carolina. The wedding was called, in the language of society, a "gold chrysanthemum wedding." The color scheme was white and gold; the church was dressed in these colors, the chancel being dressed in white, with trailing vines of green, lighted * f 31 1 with dozens 01 wax canaies anu ornamented with great yellow chrysanthemums, like jewels in their settings. Down each aisle were arches of white and green vines and the prevailing flower. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of magnificent yellow chrysanthemums.

When the Judge ascended the bench and began calling the cases, he discovered that not one was ready for trial? that is, the attorneys on one side or the other had some excuse to offer, and after considerable arguing and pleading for postponement, about 2 o'clock Judge Spain announced that he would not postpone proceedings until Wednesday, as the expense to the county would be too great. Then he discharged the jury and adjourned the session xi"e die at 4 p. m., after having confirmed a few sales and attended to other minor duties. ^ Isador Raynor, one of the leading Democratic members of the United States Senate, whose name was offered to the Baltimore convention by W J Bryan as a suitable candidate for President, died Monday in Washington, D C, after a prolonged illness.
