Employment Agency. Persons desiring situations as cooks, nurses, and laborers generally, who desire employment, and persons in need of such help, will do well to call on A. W. Calvin, at his Store, West Trade St. JLOC-AL. The hoard of aldermen elected last Monday is decidedly dry, while the mayor is said to he wet. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union will meet at the First Baptist church next Monday afternoon Head the advertisements in this pa per and patronize the persons that patronize this paper. The Sisters of Relief have our thanks fir an invitation to attend their picnic yesterday. Mrs. Isabella Coaker is president. Our city tax collector, clerk and treasurer, cenunetery keepers and street commissioners were all re-elcct cd without opposition. The mortuary report of our city for April shows that there were among the whites eleven deaths and among the colored twelve. Some of the riprorious, rantankcr ous, radical republican ringtail rousers “flunked” last Monday for one dollar a piece. They are spotted. Ward 2 did well and they had the endorsement and support of many of the best element of the wihte citizens. It sends up two colored aldermen. We are glad to see that Mr. Simp son Bradley, the polite and efficient keeper of Pinewood cemetery, was re elected without opposition. The elections in the cities and towns throughout the State last Monday Went democratic pretty generally. Asheville is the only town we have yet heard of oleciing a republican m iyor.‘ It is said that about twenty-six mechanics left 4he city last Tuesday for Atlanta to work on the cotton seed oil mill to be built there. They were mostly colored men. Chicago lias a republican mayor and aldermen. They have recognized the colored vote by appointing a eolorcl clerk to one of tho police j courts. It. M. MitohelPis the name of j the young man. They expect other j appointments. We are told that certain whiskey; int rests furu shed meals and drinks j to voters last Monday on Ward 2. That a certain man was cooking for , it ncirly all day last Sunday. And \ all this to make colored men vote against their own ticket. The beard of aldermen organized last Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Jas. M. Hauler is on two of the standing committees: fire department, cemetery and piblic hail lings. Mr Sehcnck is on the ci iniuittee of the graded schools. fhc Chronicle cut up and spirted around last week trying to excite race prejudice, aud succeeded only in ap pearing ridiculous—has not a word to say about the wicked and immoral practice of buying and selling votes Monday. Next Monday tho board of aldermen ; are to elect u chief and other police men. The entire city is much inter - ested in the selection of these men. We trust a good chief and officers will be elected, who do not believe in clubbing when it can be avoided. On last Sabbath afternoon Bishop Lyman visited St. Michaels Church and preached a very impressive ser mon, and confirmed nine candidates. The church was crowded, and all were well pleased with the services. There were a number of white friends present. The Gazette publishes a list of twenty-seven weekly and daily news papers taken and paid for by a colored man in this State. He docs well, and the world ought to know his name. Every reading colored man or woman ought to take two or three papers, and especially those published by and in the interest of our race. “The Mcssenget ,” seems to be the choice of names of late. Wadesboro started one 3 or 4 weeks ago, and now Fayetteville has started one. Our friends will keep in mind that the Charlotte Messenger is still the favo rite with the colored people. The Church Messenger, Goldsboro Messen ger, Wadesboro Messenger and Fayette ville Messenger are priuted by our white brethren. E. M. Collett will preach a sermon on Temperance at three o’clock P. M. to-morrow, and will exhibit nine charts of the human stomach, which will illustrate the growing effect of strong drink on tho stomach. And will illustrate with the white of an egg the effect of alcohol on the albu men of the blood. That Blue Mark. We send out a great many papers this week with a blue cross mark. To all receiving such we say, your sub scription is due, please send us what you can, and as soon as you can. Don’t wait to get more ; the times are hard with us, and while we do well by you, do the best you can by us. If we cut off a sufficient number to save $3 or §4 a week it would help us much, but we want to continue all. Whiskey Men as Leaders. Did the colored voters take notice and will they remember next June the part played in the election last Monday by the leading whiskey men of the town ? On ward 2 they united against the colored men, because they said the ticket was too dry, (though they would say to white men it is too Uaek.) Vanlandingbain and McWhirter are leading anti-prohibi tionists, and yet they got up the scheme, and did all in their power to defeat Ilagler and Sehcnck, and give us a board without a nigger on it On ward 3 the same class of anti prohibitionists united with the prohi bitionists to defeat the “nigger” ticket, though every man on it was a pro nounced anti. McNinch, Adams, Brown aud other anti’s put in harder and quicker blows against us that day than McAdcn. Will the colored men of wards 2 and 3 forgive and forget before the first Monday in June? Let them learn who their friends are. Let them follow the lead of such men no longer. Let them look to their personal in terests, as do the men they have been following. Colored men, it is time you wore learning something. These white men have an object in view. Have one yourselves. Sunday-School Institute. A Sunday-School Institute will be I held at the M. E.

Coleman, is now paying off all tho preminms on meritorious articles taken to the Industrial fair last summer. Persons who have not yet been paid will do well to address W. C. Coleman. Concord, N. C. Mr. Norfleet L. Jeffers of Raleigh has a lengthy and able letter in the last issue of the State Chronicle, defending the actions of the brick masons of Raleigh. It is a well written and pointed article, and shows that his mind is. well trained as well as his hand. The mechanics of Raleigh ought to be proud of such a man, we know the mechanics of the State at large arc. Two Sotos Did It. It seems that a few weeks ago a note I was found in the yard of a white family I at McAdcnsvillc, addressed to a female member of the family and a colored man was suspected, arrested and put in jail. There was no name signed to the note, but it “looked like” the writing of the party jailed. There was bad talk about what might happen to the man. His sister wrote him a note trying to console him and in ad dition to her own name signed the name of Mr. Thomas Hunter. The wife took the note to the jail, but it wa i captured by the sheriff and the newspapers published that a dangerous t reatening note had been sent to the I sheriff by Mr. Hunter. There was , nothing incendiary in th“ note, neither Was it written by Mr. Hunter, nor to | the sheriff, but was written by the sis- ; ter to the prisoner, telling him that j Mr. Hunter would try to get him out i of jail. It is to be regretted that a man’s name is ever used in away as ’ to injure him, as Mr. Hunter has been injured by the daily papers. He isan honest hard working law abiding citizen.

Cankers Are so corrosive in their nature, and their cause so deep seated in the system, that a powerful alterative is needed to eradicate them. For this purpose, Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla is the most effective medicine that can be procured. No other remedy can com pare with it as a cure for all diseases originating in vitiated blood. ** I suffered greatly, for months, from two running Ulcers Besides the ulcers I also had a glandular swelling on my neck, which was gather ing, and seemed about to break. 1 consulted skillful physicians, and took various remedies, but failed to find relief until I commenced using Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla. A few bottles of this remedy com pletely cured me, and 1 am now in perfect health.—Mrs. Jaue E. llopkins, Cani bridgeport, Mass. For what appeared to be a Cancer on my lip, I used Ayer’s Sarsaparilla with excellent success. I believe the disease to be perfectly cured.—Amherst Whitmore, Brunswick, Maine. About three years ago, I was troubled with Canker Humors in my mouth, throat, and stomach. Food of any kind caused the most extreme suffering. After trying a number of remedies, without receiving any benefit, I was fiually Cured by taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I can now eat any kind of food, and am vigorous, active, and entirely free from all humors. J. W. Compton, Bloomington, 111. Until within a few months I have suf fered terribly, all my life, with what my physician called Reel Canker. At times my mouth, tongue, and throat have been nearly raw with these canker sores, and any effort to swallow food caused the most intense pain. I was emaciated, weak, and pale, aud always mom or less under the doctor’s care. Physicians failed to help me, and none of the many reme dies 1 tried gave me any relief until I commenced taking Ayer’s Sar .aparilta. Thin medicine tax restored me to bultii, aud lias eradicated every trace of Canker from my »ystem. Mr* David Carey, North Salem, Maw. Prapand V, Dr. t.C. d,«r It Q >■, leytll, Maw. Eruptions Os the skin, whether in the form of Ery sipelas, Pimples, or Boils, indicate that the blood lias become vitiated, and the system diseased, and that prompt treatment is indispensable. Ayer's Sarsaparilla purges the blood of all impurities, and speedily restores health and strength to the system. **For nearly, three years I was covered with Scrofulous Sores some of which were very offensive, ex hausting, and painful. 1 had uo appetite, • was emaciated, and so reduced in strength as to be unable to attend to my busiuct*. I tried many remedies, and was treated by a number of physicians, but received no relief. With little hope of recovery. I , commenced taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, • and, under its healing influence, soon be gan to improve. After using less than . half a dozen Ixittles of this preparation, 1 was restored to perfect health.— . Leonard Brackett, West Haven, Conn. For forty years I hate been troubled with a humor in the blood, appearing I in painful eruptions on my skin, and , causing Erysipelas at times. I have been I a great sum s rer. I Imre tried all kinds of ' remedies for luv complaint, but found no ; relief until I commenced using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. By T aking t ten bottles of this medicine I am com , pletelv cured, and my skin is now as . smooth and fair as ever. Marv C. Ames bury, Rockport, Me. T have been taking Ayer’s Sarsapariila ’ for an impurity of the blood, which niani ‘ felted itself in troublesome Boils nml • Eruptions, and can truly sav I have never j found any medicine m> prompt and ccr ‘ tain In curative effects.
