DAILY ADVERTISING
T. L SEIGLE & CO.
The Charlotte community and this
store of ours are good comrades. A
solidarity, great, broad, pecullai,
real.
One result oflt is that yon must
have news of what is doing here every
day. Therefore our daily advertls
lug is not a choice It Is a necessity
All the pleasure, accommodation,
advantage or convenience you get
out of the ptore rests upon a single
point selling goods.
The goods must sell in ever i noreart
Ing volume, or the store cannot keep
step with Its own past. Ours to sell,
yours to buy. Hut you must he told
what and how you can buy host, else
our special goods and your special
wanta wouldn't meet.
The cadence of the step in inilfury
movements comes from the inarch
ing music. Tne daily ad vertising is
the mil Ic by which the store
marches just now It is playing the
double quick.
Meat for onwould he poison for
another. Outadvertising might de
stroy another, as the ulmence of it
might cripple us. The need ami
power of ii are what is to he present
ed. "Ay, there's the rub." There
are limits even to our advertising.
Ten thousand things am clamoring
like wild delegates for a chairman's
recognition, and the advertiser Is
compelled to pick and choose the
most representative among them
every day. Ann then, to , the whys
and wherefores must be told. Our
lte noli ins on trade' etl n m I givii g
the rationale f the f'.njjle pniij,'
Movement ale noedco to touch y.iur
judgment and commend what 1 of
fered. And so the advertising beooiiien a
leader, to explain.u friend to counsel,
a courier to Invite, a herald of joy.
Jiow all these motireH combine !

The Ural Soldier Killed In llir War.
According to an act of the last
Legislature, a tine portrait of Henry
Lawson Wyatt has been placed in
the State Library at Kaleigh. Pri
vate Wyatt, who fell in the battle of
Big Itetiiel, June 10, Is'il. was the
first soldier who lost his life in line
of battle from the Confederate army.
In this engngemeut it became neces
sary to remove a house behind which
the Federal infantry was posted and
i were sending theit shot like hal1 iu
I to thi Confederate ranks; the
commanding officer called for
l volunteers to remove the bnlld
I lug, when Sergeant tleorge Wil-
limns, Thoiuts I'allon, John W.
Thorn, Henry L. Wavtt Kobeit II
Bradley and llobert IL Hicks, mem
bers of the Kdgeeombe tiuards, stop
xd to the front to perform the
dangerous undertaking. With de
termination in their eyes and death
staring them in the face, this brave
siiuad moved forward with martial
tread and had only proceeded
about thirty yards when a niinnie
ball from the ranks of the enemy
pierced the brain of young Wyatt
and befell to the ground without a
groan with his face to the enemy.

One of the Ward parks so badly
needed in Charlotte is at last to be
provided, and it will be just as pret
ty a little spot as could well be Im
agined, a slightly rolling plot of
ground with a grassy carpeting,
shaded by elms, filled with benches
and fountains aud intersected with
giaveled walks.
The government has given its
sanction to a proposition by the city
to convert the lot in rear of the Mint
aud postofflee buildings into a city
park. The scheme was originated
by Mr. J. H. Weddington, who en
listed Mr. Cramer, superintendent of
the Mint, aud got him to correspond
with the proper authorities in be
half of the movement. Mr. Cramer
yesterday received a final letter
grunting the request upon certain
conditions which are of a character
that can be readily acceded to. The
lot coyers about half a Mock and is
beautifully located for a park. It can
be converted into a park at a very
t nrling expense, and what a glorious
play ground it would be for children
and a resting lace for older people.

The Baltimore Hun of yesterday
says : ( Jen era I John Oil I, president of
the Mercantile Trust and Iteposit
Company, w ill leave Baltimore this
morning to attend the celebration of
the opening of the first division of
the Boanoke and Southern railroad
at Martinsville, Va , tomorrow eve
ning. The occasion marks the in
auguration of tlie opening for traffic
of the road from Winston, N C, to
M artinsville.
The Sun then gives a description
of the country through w hich the
road passes, aud adds: That theline
may liecome in time a Baltimore cor
poration depends only upon the ex
exteusion of the Valley Branch of
the Hultimore and Ohio to lioauoke.
1 he projectors are anticipating this
enterprise on ttie part of the Balti
imTe and Ohio, and will arrange to
f irm a close connection so soon as
the extension Is completed. It will
thus afford a direct communication
to the business of that section w ith
Baltimore.and opens up for the trade
of this city a rich territory that is
naturally its tributary. I'pon the
completion of the second division of

A Dead Ital.y Found In a Well.
The body of a white male child
was found iu the w ell on the premi
ses of Mr. R. R Young, corner of B
and 6th streets, about two o'clock
this afternoon. The child was a
finely developedone and was thrown
into the well when newly born, as
was clearly indicatod. Itsbodywas
entirely barren of clothing, but a
rag was wrapped around its chest.
Mr. Young's family had been no
ticing a bad taste about the water
for several days, and today Mr.
Young engaged a couple of laborers
to clean out the well. The first
thing brought up was the body of
the child. It had evidently been in
the well for two weeks or more.
There is no clew. Coroner Cathey is
investigating the case this afternoon.
New Evidence Secured.
New evidence Is raily accumula
ting agalust Henry Brabhum, the
slayer of the Italian, Jno. B. Mocca,
and the case is now much stronger
against him than it was at first One
witness has been found who saw
Brabham drop the coupling pin from
his pocket, then quickly pick it.'up,
wrap it in a handkerchief and re
place it lu his pocket. This occurred
near Mecca's store. Another wit
ness, a railjoad man. has been found
who was in Mocca's store ten min
utes before the murder and who says
there was then anotherjnegro iu the
store with Brabham. The trial will
commence at 10 o'clock Monday
morning.
