i Monticello, Ky., May 12, I899. I have used Wine of Cardui for all stages of disordered men am now using it for the ''change of life". I have had doctors, but Wine of Cardui is away ahead of doctors, for trouble like I have had. I have not done anything to amount to much for months, and have been so weak I could not go out I had cold feelings and was sick at my stomach. After that I was taken with a kind of nervousness, with jerking all through my body and limbs. I had much headache and hot flushes at night. I really had all kinds of aches and pains, and swelling of the feet and ankles* No tongue can tell of all my sufferings. I have used Thedford's Black-Draught with Wine of Cardui, and am sure they are the very best medicines ever made for such trouble. ??-? Mrs. L. E. STEELE. Nearly a century's use has given Wine of Cardui a reputation for curing "female dis? eases9' that no other medicine enjoys. When headaches, nervousness, dizziness, bearing down pains, delayed monthly sickness or flooding give you warning of leucorrhoea or fall? ing of the womb or irregular or painful menstruation, you can save yourself much suffering and misery by procuring a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui at your drag store. The medi? cine is used with great success during pregnancy and the " change of life," and after child? birth or miscarriage. It should be given every girl at the age of puberty.

Th8 training school for colored Nurses to be established in \Vinston_ls not "the only school of the kind estab? lished in the South," as stated. For three years there, has been a Training School for Nurses connected with St. | Agnes Hospital at St. Augustine's school, Raleigh, It is under the profes? sional care of Dr. Hubert A. Royater, and the Hospital staff includes Dr. A. \V. Knox, Dr. James McKee, Dr. W. I. Royster, Dr. R. H. Simms, Dr. Kemp P. Battle, Dr. A. W. Goodwin, by whom also lectures are given to the nurses.

One graduate is in charge of the Leonard Hospital at Shaw University of this city, one in charge of St. Agnes Hospital, Raleigh, and one at work In the Colored Insane Hospital nt Goldsboro. Hon. Hokc Smith, of Atlanta. Ga., Is Just sending to the Training-school n young colored woman in whom his family has been greatly interested. THE NBUSB MILLS. Very satisfactory progress is being made In the construction of the dam for the cotton mill at the Falls of Ncuso and in the enlargement of the building. The dam will be of stone" and will be one of the finest in th~ South. The old paper mill building is being re? modelled and such additions as are necessary built to it. If the weather does not interfere too much with the work n\\ will be ready to begin active operation's- by late spring. It Is esti? mated that there will be about. 30 000 spindles. There has been a great de? mand for stock in the mill, $150,000 be? ing subscribed, though only $100.000 was asked for. It 1s thought that the capacity of the mill will be enlarged ns the power will more thnn suffice for the requirements of the plant ns projected. THE ANTI-SPIT ORDINANCE. The outlook for the passage of the anti-spit ordinance, proposed at the last meeting of the bonrd by Alderman Cook, Is not very bright. It is ack? nowledged by all that such a law for the market, theatres, churches and street ears would be a good thing, but as for the street, the general opinion Is that It would be better to wait till we come to the asphalt pavement stage In city life. Too much government Is almost ns bad as too little government. THE LATE HURRICANE. Frank Thompson, of Onslow county, says the great hurrlcan of October 31st entirely swept away the New River Inn and Its dozen cottages; that the old Stump Inlet, closed for morn than a generation.

HERTFORD. BANQUET COMPLIMENTARY TO NEW BOOK CHUM. Hertford, N. C, Nov. 17.?The banquet given last Thursdny evening compli? mentary to the "New Book Club" was the most magnificent attempt at enter? tainment ever made In the annals of Hertford society. It not only tilled a long felt want, as the newspapers would say, but it showed that the "Knickerbocker Club" knew how to re? turn courtesies in a very substantial and agreeable way. Armory I-lnll was in holiday attire, overgreens, palms and (lowers making the grand old place look like the first glimpse of spring- The great table, with Its arches of ivy, festoons of holly and cedar and burden of the good things of life, made an impression ns dear to the heart as the scenes of our childhood. Covers wer.-? spread for seventy guests and promptly at 1U o'eloek the curtains were drawn back and such a sight as met the eyes of the "Book Club" will only be paralleled by their reception on Thanksgiving Day. Mr. Charles Whcdbeo acted as toast master, and after a few well chosen re? marks, read the first toast of the even? ing?"The Hungry Man"?and was re? sponded' to with much feeling and earnestness by Col. A. W. Jordan, of Winfall. Then came Mr. Lisle's re? sponse, "If I Had a Little Wife;" Mr. George.Burgess' response, "Somebody's Darling:"' Mr. C. W. Morgan's response, "Reyond the Hills Lies the Poorhouse." Space forbids the mentioning of other toasts, hut It's feebly expressing It wh.en we say that tho toast, "Give Us Rest," was tho most appropriate and timely suggestion, or rather response, that fell from a Knickerbocker's Hps of gold. The menu consisted of oysters, blue points and Lynnhaven; turkey, roasted and In salad; chops, steaks, olives, Maryland biscuits, lobster salad, pick? les, chow-chow, celery, fruits, nuts, fruit cakes, black coffee, Ceylon, tea, Imported chcpse, peach and pineapple cream, lemon and orange lce3, London? derry water, etc., etc. After the supper games, recitations and charndos kept the assembly In round after round of fun. The gentlemen were attired In very becoming Knickerbocker costumes and tho ladles wore evening dress. Much credit Is due tho president and directors of the club for the artistic and substan? tial mariner In which tho spread was arranged. The guests all enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent, and when the hour came for retiring three cheers and a vote of thanks were given tho Knickerbockers and the banqueters left the fine old hall Just ns quietly as tho burial of Sir John Moore. EXPLANATION. Hertford, N. C, Nov. 17, 1S99. Editor Virginian-Pilot: In your issue of the 13th instant was published, from my pen, an account of a "grand masquerade ball" given in Hertford, November 9th, 1S99. The ar? ticle gave offense to quite a number of ihc good people of our town, and very naturally so, for as a matter of fact It was no such thing as a "masquerade ball." or any other sort of "ball." There was no music, hence there could not have been much ball. The party was gotten up by the young ladies of town as a "Hallowe'en party." Many of those who took part In it could not be Induced to attend n "ball." The account I sent you last week of the party was dictated by one who was present and who docs not object to "balls." I was not present and, of course, had to get facts from one who was. I make this correction In simple Justice to all parties. I shall try to be moro careful In the future. Yours truly, W. O.
