This Method of Saving Helps to Enrich the People. How the People Are Saving More Money Than in Any Other Way. A Way to Have What Is Needed and Yet Save Enormous Sums. Tho great millionaire, Rothschilds, said! "To save money Is the secret of riches." There are few larger expenses In the household .than doctor's fees, together with the cost of filling prescriptions. Hundreds of millions of dollars uro thus spent annually. It la evident, therefore, If this vast expense can be stopped, It will result In an enormous saving to t'he people. Community Is becoming keenly alive to tills fact, since the people are rnp Idly learning the great truth that Dr. Greene's Norvura 'blood and nerve remedy Is fast taking the place of physicians and their prescriptions In households everywhere, and that this really wonderful medicine will cure In cases where even physicians fnll. Peo? ple an; waking to the sure and Indis? putable fact that a few bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura will do more good in the average ease than a hundred dol? lars spent in physician's fees and pre? scriptions. Mr. L. W. Paul, 7 Market St., Som ersworth, N. H., says; "1 first ? took Dr. Greene's Nervura btood and nerve remedy because I felt that my blood was in a poor state and needed cleansing; besides, I was trou? ble,! with shooting pains through my chest. The pnlns m'fected me badly In walking, and at times would nlmost cut my breath off. I had read the lec? tures of Dr. Greene, and felt that be wns a well-read physician and com? petent to prepare a medicine capable of benefiting .the system; then again. I knew that Influential people were using the Nervura and speaking very highly of It. so I determined to try It. I only used one bottle of Dr. Greene's Nervura Idood and nerve remedy and it curot| me. I have not felt the need of medicine since the first bottle." You can he cured by Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy nl the trilling expense of a few dollars, and In this way perhnps save hundreds for your family. ?"The Importance of Teaching Our Distinctive Principles and TTie Best .Methods."

Patrons of that up to daite financial Institution will, '-however, scarcely re? cognize as their old acquaintances anything except President Bcaman's genial countenance, and the faces of his corps of tuble lieutenants. The bank Itself will be a new creation. liver since the middle of November, under the supervision of Mr. Herberl Williams, contractor, a large fiorce of workmen have ibecn at work on the old bank building. When they started In one would have taken them for gen? iuses of destruction, for they ripped out the Interior of the structure and de? molished the tall red brick front, so familiar to every Norfolkian. They cut u big bole in the roof, too, and lost no time in tearing Up the floor, removing the windows and raising Cain and dust In many other ways. Meantime the hank had removed Its furniture, books, cash, clerks and good will a few doors down Commerce street, where it continued .to do business as calmly as though 'the vandals were not nt work upon Its old 'building. Hut 'behold the transformation thnt two months of hard work has brought about. In place of the old red brick front, ithere now rises a stately creation of light gray Indiana sand stone, fash? ion cd after the Imposing colonial style. It Is a very attractive front, Its plain almost severe lines, restful to the eye and forming a pleasing contrast to g??dy latter -day architecture. Just above the handsome entrance to the main floor is carved In plain, ibold le't tcring the name. "The Hank of Com? merce." The entrance itself Is Hanked by handsome .plate glass windows which afford ample light for the front, while the rear of the building, which former? ly had to bo Illuminated by gas at mid-day, will now 'be brilliantly light? ed by a. handsome sky light of ample size. The floor Is of small figured tiling, while the wnlls have 'been wainscoted with handsome block tiles to n height of some four nivd a half feet. The vault, one of the strongest In ithe South, has been covered on the outside with orna? mental block tiling. The walls are fin? ished In handsome sand float work, which may later be frescoed. The counters and wood fixtures will all he new. nnd it only remains for 'them itb arrive and he Installed before the build? ing will 'be ready for occupancy.

Mock Court Trials, given un? der the direction of mi expert, C.d. A. A'. Newton, the well-known law? yer-lecturer of Worcester. Mass. Nearly every city <;-r New England, as well as many In oilier parts of tin: country, have been greatly excited over them, as attested by the lengthy and favorable reports in. the leading newspapers and best of all by .the great audiences that have packed the largest halls and opera houses to the doors. In many cases the Interest has been so great that every seat has been sold in advance and- hundreds have been turned away unable even to ob? tain standing room. One of these popular entertainments will be given under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, on Friday even? ing, January 21, 189S. One of our prominent citizens will be tried for the larceny of a Plymouth Rock Booster (perhaps it Is some politician who de? sired one to crow for his favorite can? didate), and there will be fun with? out limit. Indeed, It Is safe to predict that it Will be nv.iny moons before the walls of the Y. M. C. A. Hall again re-echo with so much laughter as will be beard on that occasion. Additional Interest will be created In the trial from the fact that a large number of our prominent citizens will be parti? cipants. All the rules' of n regular court of justice will 'be observed. Par? ticulars will be found In our advertis? ing columns. BOYS' GOSPJ3L AR.MY.

Much spirit was displayed In the meeting, and from the outlook the army will make much progress during the n( xt four weeks. One hundred and thirty-eight hoys were present at the meeting on last Sunday. At the regular meeting of the Bible Class Study club, held last night, the leader. Mr. Charles R.

HI'UfO, of Trinity College- -l?r. lYIiorloii Prrnche? n ticrmoii . tu Friendship, C'oiiclnvc, Ilrptmtophf? The anniversary of the Union Mis? sion was celebrated simultaneously in several of the city churches. The Rev. J. C. Kllgo, D. D., president of Trinity College, Durham, N. C, was invited to come hero and preach two anniversary sermons. His fame'as a preacher pre? ceded him here, and was fully Justified by his two efforts; for It Is but truth to ^ay that It Is seldom, indeed, that a stronger or more eloquent preacher has been heard In a Norfolk pulpit. Standing room was a privilege; a seat a luxury, at Elpworth Methodist chuch ?t the night service. Dr. Kllgo preach? ed with unction. His theme was the Fatherhod of God, the sonshlp of man. The relation was a new "religious force that had Its birth and fruition when JesuB Christ emerged unscathed from His struggle with Satan In the wilder? ness. Under .the old dispensation, God was the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. So Elijah prayed upon Ml. Carmel; but when the Son of Man taught his disciples to pray, he cut a road right up to throne of God, saying: "Our Father, who art In heaven." When a man accents the truth of the proposition that God Is his father, he may take his heavenly father into con fldence aibb?t his business and domestic affairs. Just ns a child would a parent of the flesh. It makes all it-he difference in the world whether one regards Goxl as the Supreme 'Being absorbed In the occupation of keeping the universe reg? ulated, or as the Father of all his'crea? tures cf the earth. At 'the morning hour ;n the First Pres? byterian church, Dr. Kllgo preached to a large congregation, his theme being the dignity of man ns the greatest work of God on earth, whom he has made a little lower than ithe angels, and given him dominion over all things terrestrial. At both service.- Dr. Kilgo made an application of his discourse to the work of the Union Mission, an 1 took up a collection In ithe form of pledges for the support or the work and workers, making the point I bar. while money was wanted, the personal Interest and efforts of fiod's people wero more ear? nestly desired. Services were p.lso held at Centenary M. 13.'church, nnd at the throe services mentioned collections amounting to some $750 wore itaken up in the Interest of the mission. OFFICERS ELECTED.
