It took nearly the entire night, the Kendalville folks not getting away until after 5 o’clock A. nr About 12 o'clock a neat ‘lunch was spread in the dining room of the National Hotel and between the acts the boys satigfied their hunger.

A Query.

EpITOR BANNER: Some days ago I heard a well known Republicam remark that Cleveland is a minority President; or, in other werds, he said that Blalne received more votes than Cleveland, Will you pléase answer in your next issue. e

Soon after eleetion we gave the following figures as given by the New York Tribune arnd we will now reproduce them for.your benefit and such other readers as have forgotten them. You had better cut the item out and ask your Republican frieod to paste it in his hat for future reference: ;

Popular vete for Cleveland, 4,874.986; for Blaine, 4,851,981; for Batler, 175,370 ; for St. John, 150,369, By referring to the above figures it will be seen thag Cleveland’s plurality is 23,005 votes. | : . :

Clean Up! Clean Up!!

The time of year has again returned for cleaningup the sj:reets, alleys, lots, dooryards, cellars, vanlts, and all places in which.vegetable and animal matter iswont to cellect to decompose under the influence of the sun and produce poisonous exhalations and noxious gases, which will circulate with the atmosphare, be inhaled by the people and sickness and death be the result. All the best authorities agree that the cholera will be very likely to reach this country this summer; and this enhances very much the importance of keeping the town clean and free from all kinds of filth: and decaying matter. If every citizen will do his duty in this matter the cholera will receive no invitation to visit our town. Let the manure in the alleys be promptly removed. The Marshal aud the Board will freely render all assistance and advice they ean to promote this important work. Let promptness and efliciency be the watchword. Respectfully, -

~ Carr, President of the Blackwell’s lﬁ ~ ham Tobacco Co., of Durham, N. C. In | evu{ﬂtobaeeo store in the United States, and in many foreign countries, Blackwell’s Durham Tobacco is sold, and it is a well- ~ known fact that the gales of this Company o g g g o - manu r. That. success has been obtained is due to the energy, integrity and ability of Mr. Carr, who has so - successfully managed the affairs 2f‘the Oompan{. Such a letter as the following, written by Mr. Carr to a persona.lfnemi - whose only interest in the matter referred ~ to was a desire to do a friendly act, is certainly worthy of careful reading. | Durham, N. C., Feb. 25, 1885. My Dear “Mac”:—l have delayed writing to you, with reference to the Athlophoros remedy, until I could hear from g friend of mine, a gentleman of(bigh- ¥ character, who used Athlophoros &t my sugmn with very great benefit. Heis a tol manufacturer of hiﬁilﬁlstanding. ; I have waited to_hear from him in order that I might use hisname officially, lam satisfied, iowever, that he must ze at the New Orleans Exposition; and my letters ~ have failed to reach him. So I will not delay answering your letter longer. Yeu want to know whether Athlophoros is —really as good as you thought when you so kindly sent me a couple bottles. I had a sister who was a victim of neuralgia and rheumatism. She suffered intensely, and her condition gave her family and friends - much concern. Every known remedy was tried, but without effect. - When the bottles you sent me came, I sent one to ~ my sister and one to my sister-in-law. | M; sister was so encouraged from the use of this one bottle that I put her upon a thorough treatment of Athlophoros, I certain%y owe you and Athlophoros a great debt of gratitude for the relief the remedy has given her. She has almost completely recovered from rheumatism, so mucﬁ-so t{at she has stopped the use.of Athlophoros and considers herself avell. My sister-in-law, to whom I gave the other bottle, was suffering fearfully with neuralgia,she had become unconscious from the pain—the Athlophoros relieved her “entirely, I gavea bottle of Athlophoros to an intimate friend who suffered such intense pain in his head that he looked as if his eyes would start from their sockets, and by its use he has been greatly ~ benefited, and tells me that he received - such relief from it that he orders it by the box and keeps it at all timesin his house—is never without it—can’t afford to. be, this ~ is the gentleman to whom I wrote, I wanted to send with this his opinion in his own handwriting, but as I stated he must still be at New Orleans. A very worthy colored man, a house carpenter, Jim Whitted by name, lives in-the house adjoining “my man of all work” - One morning my man told me that Jim was suffering so intensely from rheumatism that the neiihborhood was disturbed day and night by his cries of agony. Wishing to test Athlophoros before my own eyes on a genuine case of acute rheumatiSm, I wrote the Athlophoros Company statin% Jim’s condition, and offering, if they would send me the remedy, te see that it had a fair trial in his case. I confess, with all mg' confidence in Athlophoros, I doubted whether it could help Jim, but it was faithfully tried and I think the proudest man now in all this community is Jim Whitted. He claims to be entirely relieved of all- his rheumatism and not “only that;, but he says the stiffness in his joints, which came with the rheumatism, ‘Las all been removed. Within thirty hours after -he began to use Athlophoros, he felt like another person. These instances have all come under my personal knowledge: I am very slow to speak of or recommend any medigine, but when a remedy has the virtue and the merit that I believe Athlophoros has, I cannot hesitate to recommend it. I have given you facts—don’t they answer your question fully? Yourstruly, J.BS.CARR.

If you cannot get ATHLOPHOROS Of your drugglst, we will send it express %’bm' on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn’t/it, do not be persuaded to try somethin‘f else, but order at once from us, as directe: ATELOPHOROS Co., 112 Wall Street, New York,
