biliousness and a coaled tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, severe m they, are,
give immediate varning by pain,
but liver and kidney troubles,
though less painful at the start, arc
much harder to cure. Thedford's
Bliick-Drauqht never fails to bene
fit diseased livor tmd "weakened kid
neys. It stirs up the torpid liver
to throw off the gerrna of fever and
agfue. It is a certain preventive
of cholera and Er ight's disease of
the kidneys. With kidnevs re
inforced by Thwlford's Black
Draught thousands of persocs have
dwelt immune in the midst of yel
low fever. Many families liva iu
perfect health and have no other
doctor than Thedford's Black
Draught. It is always on hand for
me in an emergency and saves
many expensive cells of a doctor.

1771. '
' Colouel -Buncombe's first public act in
his uew home waa to nit as a member of an
'inferior court" held at the Tyrrell court
house, -On tha Becond Tueeday In May,
17;'.'," His name appear lal iu the li.t
of justices at this term, but Le wa one cf
-the three Who remained to align the decket
at the end of the session.
From, thee circumstances it would ap
poar probable that Colonel Buncombe re
moved with hie family to North Carolina
as early as the nprinj! of 1768. The story ot
h'u coming as popularly related, ia as fol
lows :
One Mr. Coi of Edeuton learning that
: olouel Buncombe had come into poesei
eion of the Tvrrell lauds, weut to .St, Kilts
and iff.rrd to buy the property. But
youuj Mrs. Buncombe' advised her husband
tnt if it wa6 worth all that trouble ou the
pint of Mr. Cor, it turely 'was worth a visit
from itj owner before continuing a sale ot
it. Acting upon this tugge8liort Colons!
Buncombe c;unt to North Carolina, and
Was so much pleaned with the place that
he at once gave orders to Stevens Lee of
Lee's Mills to build a house lor him ou the
farm, while he returned for his family.
Coufidoring the fact that 'luiubt:r could
only be sawed duriu;. th'i winter months,
and that bricki were only made in the
summer, and takiug iuto account the fact
that all procesuei of buiidiu at that time
were Vtry slow, it. seems probable that this
Urbt visit of Ooian&l iiuncombo'e was made
during the summer of 170(5.
It has beeu Guid that the bricKs uicd iu
the buildinlj wore brought from Euglaud.
Jiut Governor Tryou wrote that very year
'We do not impoit lime, lumber or bricks,
either from the uortheru coioniest or from
Eulaud." There were brick yard at
Leb'n Mill.
