The reservoir is on a considerable elevation, sufficiently high to allow a pipe leading fm the bottom to run to the bed of the creek, beyond the dam, with several feet fall. This pipe will be laid, and will be the means of completely emptying the reservoir, should it become! necessary.

The Wilmitgton Star of yesterday has a very complimentary notice of the Governor's Guard of this city. Among other things that pleases the Star to make these favorable comments, for which thanks are hereby extended, is the fact that the popular and; efficient captain formerly lived in Wilmington, and the Star feels the strength of the fraternal tie. It says f'The Governor's Guard is commanded by Capt.

Engelhard, 4 former Wilmingtonian, and is the youngest company in the State Guard, having been organized in the summer of 1886. It is a splendid organization and has set an example which some of the other companies, of the state would do well to Ollow. Since about the first of September last, Capt. Engelhard has drilled his. company from once to twice; a and now that he is preparing for J-he National encampment in May his drills number three a week.

In a letter of he says 'Of one thing I am determined, that although the-youngest company in the the Governor's Guard shall not be in the back rank if not' up to the "The Old North State will be well represented at the Rational drill, and the State Guard should, feel no little pride in having the Fayetteville Independent Light Infantry and the Governor's Guard tb represent them the former organized in 1793 and the latter in 1886." A gentleman well known and largely engaged in the drug trade, remarked "Pond's Extract is a priceless remedy for piles. I had been fifteen years a martyr to them. I suffered everything but death. I tried all the most celebrated doctors; and look here 1" said as he opened a closet containing hundreds of empty bottles and boxes, "I took and applied all that cupboard of trash without benefit. Nothing hel ped me ntil I found Pond's Extract, and that cured me.

I have now been well for years, but I keep that closet full of all the old bottles to show how much a man may suffer and take." Caution. Pond's Extract has been imitated. The genuine has the words "Pond's Extract" blown in the glass! and our picture trade-mark on surrounding buff wrapper. None other is. genuine.

Always insist on having Pond's Extract. Take no other preparation. It is never sold in balk or- by measure. i I 1 ONI -Still Hold Good 10c per cL.
