ELIZABETH CITY, June 4, 1897.
The cool weather is having a
bad effect on the crops in the
peanut and cotton sections. The
leaves are all turning yellow.
The state of affairs in Europe
is still unsettled. Turkey's in
demuity from Greece is yet un
determined. Her demand for
Thessaly is making trouble.
Things are hot around New
lierne and the municipal affairs
are in a merry mess. There are
two Boards of Commissioners,
two Mayors, two Tax Collectors,
etc., and the people swear they
will not pay taxes until things
are definitely settled.
It is reported irom Washing
ton that Senator Aldrich and his
colleagues of the Finance Coin-
mittee have been so much im
pressed by the public criticism
of their sugar schedule that they
have decided to abandon it and
are preparing a new one less
favorable to the Sugar Trust.
There are none living who do
not, in a greater or less degree
have an influence over the earth
ly happiness of others. The
sense of ccntributing to the
pleasures of others augments
our own happiness. Uuefulness
Christian charity, ami loving
kindness are sunbeams of the
soul.
This is the season of commence
ments and the reports of those
held thus far in the State re
quite flattering. Most of the
schools and colleges have done
well this year, and notwithstand
ing the extremely hard times
there is a good prospect lor an
enlivened interest in education
during the ensuing school year.
Exertionwhether called labor,
Tecreation, or amusement, is
essential to health; and, as the
body was made for labor, work
is its natural and honorable duty.
An idle man or woman is a
discredit to the race, and unusu
ally liable to fall into disease,
whilst an industrious person adds
to the wealth of the country, and
is more likely to be healthy and
happy.

Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera

years or longer-and never with

it the best remedy of the kind
manufactured. I take pleasure
in recommending it." It is a
