He was a member, -of the Primitive Baptist church at New Hope of which body of christians he had been an earnest and consistent member for many years, and his hope of an heavenly home grew brighter as he lay on his bed of affliction and it cheered his waiting moments for the boat man to come and take him across the river of death to the Jiome prepared for those who lov'e and trust God.

The merchant who will j only advertise two or three months during the year is very much like the man who feeds- his his horsepduring crop season and then because he is at leis ure turns him out on the grass of the field to live or die. I The best and most successful farm ers teed their stock regularly; so it is with the successful mer chant, he keeps his goods be fore the people at all seasons. When it is dull le .tells the people what lie has and what bargains he offers, and when they get the money they al- -1 . 1 ways remember tne man .wnose goods have been constantly be fore them. '.Men of long ex perience in advertising- say it fSays as well to advertise during the. summer as during fall,1 1 011 say, you never know when ad vertising pays. Suppose! you wish to purchase an article in a distant town, you first go to the columns of the city paper, j ind from that direct you order.! The merchant knows nothing about what caused you to! send lim the order, but' the whole truth is you were directed by the advertisement. Thosuands of just such things happen ev ery day. - j The most successful and pro gressive towns are those which most liberally support j their home papers. A newspaper well filled with home advertise ments is one of the best adver tisements in the world of the place where the paper isj pub lished. J Wot Dead Hut Ottink. On Saturday evening the news came to town that a negro man had been found dead in the northwestern part of the town near the corporate limits.- The news spread rapidly and pretty soon there was quite a rush of the people, doctors, lawyers and the coroner to the spot where he was said to be. The crowd arrived and the supposed 'In animate form lav prostrate on the ground. Was he Idead? Yes, dead drunk. He had come to town with the idea that John Barley Corn and jProhi- bition hadinet and that John B. C. was soon to be knocked out and in his I love for John B. C. he proceeded to get on the outside of as much of him as possible and proceeded with his friend to spot where he lay, when John B. C. becoming master of the situation caused the earth to rise up and hit his colored friend in the face knock- ins him out in the first round, and John B. C. to preve.nt a re newal of the attack was simply holding him down. No inquest was held, no lawyer feed, and no doctor prescribed. The dis- rmnointed crowd ret urneid and left the two in sweet embrace It was another case of 4 4!rood corn liquor did it all. Wery wives, mothers, and daugb ters tired nurses, watchers, ana help tired women of all clases should tafcfe Aver's SarsaDarilla. It is the kind they need to give pure blood firm nerves, buoyant spirits, j and re frpshinir sleeD ' There lS no tonic equal to Ayer's Sarsaparilla, . It is an admitted fact that F. P.

Tisitors who come to Dunn find no busier place of business than that of the Dlinn Hard ware and Furniture Company. Alessrs. Holliday and 'Privctt who compose this company are young men of enterprise, ener gy and push.- Their success in the Hardware business is phe nominal. I hey opened their place of business in Dunn on the 10th of last December, and although they have been in business only a little over six months their gross sales have been simply enormous . 1 hey have exemnh hed their business motto : "AVe lead, let others follow." j They have just received a car load of "U K cooking stoves that are conceded to be the per fection of the art of stove manu facture. These stoves are sold no where else in Dunn. For economy durability anil gener al excellence theyJiave no rival in the southern trade. 1 J They have handled 2900 feet of belting and so great has been the satisfaction' given by the grade of this article sold by this firm that the demand for it is largely on the increase. They have a full line of belting of the various widths now on hand L Since opening business they have sold over 5000 pounds of paints these paints already mixed are manufactured by a; responsible firm, and give per feet satisfaction. They sell also unmixed paints and oil in great variety: So great has been their run in nails, that they have sold frequently as many as 50 kegs in a single week. Theit present stock is very large. This firm carries a very ex tensive line of furniture, and anything can be seen in theit war,e rooms from a split bottom chair to parlor and chamber suits of the highest style and price. They have reduced the price of furniture in the Dunn market 50'since they opened.; Fixtures for engines in every detail will be found in their store, as well as everything else usually; kept in a first class1 Hardware House. -Li They keep ail endless variety of crockery ware -from a 25 cent set of cups and saucers to the most elegant and costly Dresden china. 1 This House is in the market for the purchase of: everything that a farmer may raise, from t pring chicken to a cotton crop. They invite every man and woman who, may visit Dunn to come and see their mammotli stock, whether they want to buy or not. ; Card ofTliiinks. j .

Wil son of Dunn lias received the appoint ment, made his bond and will probably receive his commission to-day or .to. morrow. Mr. Wilson as everybody in the county knows, is a Republican of the straigiitest sect and the office was given him for party services. He is a gentleman of good business qualifica tions an-1 high character and will no doubt till the office with satisfaction to the patrons. Mrs. L. J. McKay has filled the of fice for the past four years very accept ably to the patrons of the office : and nearly all irresiective of party regret to see her lose the office, llej manage ment of the office has been" very good and no claim or charge could be brought against her except that she had the good fortune to be placed in office by a Democratic administration. That is all the reason for wftteh she gors out. She will turn the office over to Mr Wilson as soon as he gets his commission. The best of feelings exist between her and Mr, Wilson And she is giving him all the information she can about th manage ment of the office.
