Charged
With Mail Kob-bery,
James N. Hudson, the young
white man who carried the U.
S. mail from the S. & C. R. R. to
Amboy, Chowan county, was
arrested and brought to this city
Tuesday by a U. S. Marshal, by
order of Postal Inspector Greg
ory, under a charge of mail rob
bery. On the iSth of March a mail
pouch was delivered at Amboy
post oflice by Hudson, in which
there was a knife-cut about three
inches long. Afterwards a reg
istered letter containing money
was found to be missing. This
was promptly reported to head
quarters, and Inspector Gregory
was sent out to investigate the
matter, which resulted in the ars
rest of Hudson.
Wednesday the accused was
given a preliminary hearing be
fore U. S. Commissioner M B.
Culpepper, and about the only
evidence against him was the
fact that the envelope that con
tained the missing letter was
f mnd in a ditch along the route
that Hudson traveled. Hudson
was required to give a bond of
$500 for his appearance at the
next term of the Federal court,
which will convene in this city
in October. The bond was
promptly given and the piisoucr
discharged.

The People are Convinced
When they read the testimonials of
cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla. They are
written by honest men and women,
and are plain, straightforward state
ments of fact. The people have con
fidence in Hood's Sarsaparilla because
they know it actually and permanently
cures, even when other medicines
fail.

and then you may reasonably expect good crops. Some
times, by extra cultivation, you may get along pretty well
on really poor soils, and sometimes, on extra soils, passable
crops are made without proper cultivation, but there is one
thing to be remembered no matter what the soil or the
cultivation, you will never succeed unless the seeds are all
right. "Figs do not grow from thistles," nor good crops
from poor seeds.
We sell no seeds which are not good.
Will you let us help you to grow good crops? No matter
how small operations may be, we want to furnish the seeds,
and you will be surprised to find how e?isy it is to buy our
seeds by mail. Write for a catalogue it is the best ever

Talks
'Merit talks" the
intrinsic value of
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Merit in medicine means the power to
core. Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you boy
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
core any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. Yon are not
trying an experiment. It will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.
