THE countenance is pale and lead, en-colored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pupils dilate ; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid ; the nose is irritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds ; a swelling of the upper lip ; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears.; an unusual secretion of saliva ; slimy or furred tongue ; breath very foul, particularly in the morning ; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stomach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach ; occasional nausea and vom iting; violent pains throughout the abdomen ; bowels irregular, at times costive ; stools slimy, not unfrequent ly tinged with blood; belly swollen and hard ; urine turbid ; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompa nied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive ; uneasy and dis turbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth ; temper variable, but generally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY in any form; it is an innocent prepa ration, not capable of doing the slightest injury to the most tender infant. The genuine Dr. McLane's Ver mifuge .bears the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrapper, :Q; BR. C. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy "for all the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Head ache, or diseases of that character, they stand Without a mal, AGUE AND FEVER. No better cathartic can be used prepar atory to, or after taking Quinine. As a sIt"5 purgative they are un equaled. D a -VA r I3IITATIOKS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Each box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Liver Pills. Each wrapper bears the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros. Insist upon having the genuine D,r, Ci McLANfe's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. 5 UID'lOC'COuflTERS J TO THE TRADE: The live business men of the uar are starting these coulters, we are the origi nators and Headquarters I We have the only two Exclusive 5 and 0c.

The Obsekveb has a fashion of writ ing up its advertisers once a year, viz: just before the opening of Christmas tide, when its work m this direction will do the most good and be most ap preciated. In accordance with this cus tom one of its scribes has just complet ed a tour of the town, and, with the hope that a reading by the public of the directory below may redound to the benehtof both buyers and sellers, he sets forth in manner and form as fol lows, to-wit: But before he begins he may as well say of all our merchants and business men together what he would nthf.rwioa find it necessary to say of each individ ually : mac an report tne fall and win ter business to have hfin lent On no hand was there heard the slightest sound of complaint. Some of the largest and most responsible deal ers report sales this 4 season exceeding those of last by 50 per cent ; others say that up to the present time business has been better this season than wna ovor known before, while all agree that the tall just closed has been the best since 76. Full stores and smilins merchants greeted the pedestrian at every turn, and he felt better for having rubbed up against the "solid men" of the community. A classification of the different busi nesses is the proper thing in a record of mis sort, ana we Degin first with Dry Goods. YV1TTKOWSKY & BARTOW. Mr fT .baruch, of this popular house, has just returnea irom a tnu to the JVorthRi n and Jbastern markets, and picked up a lot of novelties while he was gone. They are so numerous and varied that even this gentleman himself balkpd when an enumeration was suereested. and only waved his hand in the direc tion or the bewildering array, in the midst of and over which presides a re presentation of "Santa Claus" which would be recognized bv anv one who had ever seen this benevolent old cren- tleman, as true to life. This firm's stor-.k nas rarely ever been displayed to better advantage even on their opening days. iue iauies especially Know wnat tins means. They know, too, that there are rew things in dry goods and fancy ar tides that they cannot find here. -Llias & Cohen Here is the oldest established house in Charlotte "the old reliable, which has worked off an im meuse quantity 01 gooas tnis season and is not yet out. The general char acter of their stock is well known, as are aiso tneir upngnt dealings and popu lar prices. It is to be remarked, how ever, that just at present they are clos ing out a large lot of first-class ready made clothing at remarkably low fig ures, and that these inducements will continue to be held out during the holi days to those who want to "get them selves up," out wno do not want to do it "regardless." An inspection of their scock. and inquiry as to their prices may be money in your pocket Alexander & Harris. It is worth anybody's time to drop into their estab lishment Their second large and ele gant stock is just in, and embraces among many other things, ladies' hand- itercnieis and nandKercnier Doxes, em broidered tidies, opera coiffeures, neck ties, collarettes, lace handkerchiefs and other things ot which time would fail us to tell. Their success in business has been almost phenomenal. Thev have had to increase their stock each year, and their handsome and well-filled store is now a credit to the citv. Thev have in view still another improvement, which will be a gallery stretching along uoiu siaes tne iuh lengtn or tne store By this means they will be able to dis play to still better advantage their stock in carpets and otner goods, utilizing space which, in a house as full as this, is too valuable to be wasted. T. L. Seigle & Co. Here is anothftr house which is doing a rushing busi ness. Since its establishment it has prospered beyond the highest expecta tions of its proprietors and is now re cognized as one of our leading commer cial establishments. In addition to car rying all the time a full general stock of dry goods and ladies' furnishing goods, it has on hand just now, for the holiday trade a beautiful lot of cloaks and dol mans, initial handkerchiefs in hand some boxes, gloves, dress goods, shawls, neck-wear tor gents and ladies, etc. Gents' ready-made clothing is some thing of a specialty with this house. They say that notwithstanding the re cent advance in prices thev continue to sell at the old prices and to give their patrons the most and the best goods for the least money. Barringer & Trotter. This well known firm has laid itself out to some extent in anticipation of the holidav trade, and are now exhibiting from show-cases, shelves and counters shawls and cloaks, an elegant line of boulevard skirts, handkerchiefs for gents, ladies, children and misses, neck-wear for gents and ladies, carpets and rugs, la dies' and gents' underwear and what they claim to be the best kid glove in town for 75 cents, just received. All the above, of course, in addition to the lines of goods which this house carries, regularly. Their friends will not for get Messrs. Barringer Trotter when making their purchases for Christmas. As a matter of course they sell goods at low prices and deal iairly by their cus tomers else how could they manage to control the excellent trade that they do? H. Morris & Bro. Desire not to be forgotten by those who have purchases to make for the holidays or for any oth er period of the year. They have pros pered since they established themselves in business here, and claim a farther share in the public's liberality on the ground of their ability to sell as good goods for as little money ag any house in the State. Their stock of novelties Js quite full, an4 they ask an especial examination by the ladies of their lines f jof hosiery, fancy goods, notions and es- jjeciaiiy etoaKs, aim gentlemen are as sured that they wul find , bargains m overcoats, while in other departments of both ladies' and gents' furnishing foods almost anything wanted can be ad at prices which cannot but satisfy the buyer. Clothing, dec. E. D. Latta & Bro The name of this house is a tower of strength. To say "Latta" is to indicate a stock of clothing and gents' furnishing goods whjch is eompiete ana nrst-ciass in ev ery particular. To begin to speak of specific articles in store here would be, ah unnecessary and aji unprofitable un dertaking. .- To mention f the name bf the house is to cover the whoW gfcrand.: The magnitude.which it has attained marKs an era in tne business career ox Charlotte.

L. Berw anger & Bro. When it comes to buying anything in the cloth ing or gents' furnishing line, here is a firm the claims of which cannot be overlooked. These claims rest on their ability to supply anything that may beneeded.from a full suit of clothes, made to order, down to a pair of socks. T J.I - r . . . F. xy tueir unirorm gentility, as much perhaps as by the popularity of their prices, these young men have built up a nounsning Dusiness, wnicn they calcu late to hold by the observance of th same business rules that have governed uiem up to mis ume. j use now, m ad' union to counters stacked high with goods, they have In stock a special lot of handkerchiefs, neck wear, cravats and other articles belonging to the same general class. To drop in upon uieui as you pass oy will be worth one s while. AAnaAn a, va. uouunue on Springs's corner with a large stock nuiwi is lepieiusueu as last as it is sold off. They manage to keep a full stock at all times and yet their sales, tuia season, are reported very large, iney are able to dress a man out from head to foot, and from undershirt to ulster, in as good clothes as t.hA mar set attords, and invite dealers to make a test of their claims. In neckwear, beans, snirts, nosiery and novelties tney claim to surpass, and desire to at- tract attention to their large general assortment of gents furnishing goods. j-ney ciaim to nave had an excellent season, and in fact that their business i j i i . . uas continued to grow steadily in pro portion as tne advantages which they oner nave become Known. Millinery. Mrs. ir. Query All the ladies who will be reached by this know about what they will find at Mrs. Query's. Her establishment has a deservedly high reputation throughout all this part of the State, and to dwell upon all the articlej which can be found there would be unnecessary even if it were lawful. It is enough to say that she never had on hand a fuller stock than she now has, and never a handsomer stock of handkerchiefs, ties, ruffling, and all that sort of thing. To advise the ladies to call on her when they are looking for presents for each other would be an unnecessary injunction. Hardware. Walter Brem. No line of business, perhaps, has felt the boom of prosperity more sensibly than the hardware busi ness, and this liberal and popular deal er has reaped his share of the prosperi ty which has returned to us. He is keeping his stock full and varied, but is making a specialty of the Oliver chilled plow, of which he sold in one day last week nearly $300 dollars, worths. Persons wanting anything in the hardware line cannot go amiss for it at this house. Brown & Weddington. This firm carries perhaps the largest stock of hardware that is kept in the State. They have enjoyed this season an un precedented business, of an un preced ents satisfactory character. It would be hard to call for anything that this re liable house does not keen in stock, and it is pleasant to know Unit while its re tail trade continues good its jobbing nuue more tnannoias its own. Richard M00RE.-Mr. Moore's friends welcome him back to business on his own account, and can rest assured, from their knowledge of his experience and integrity, that he keeps a stock exactly suited to the wants of the retail trade, and that he will sell it at satisfac tory prices. He is making a specialty of stoves, of which he has on hand a large lot. In connection with his hard ware he runs a well conducted tinware business, and from his tin shop turns out all varieties of goods of this kind, and goods, too, which he is able to guarantee. H. T. Butler The friends of this gentleman will be glad to learn that since he has established himself in the old postofiice building on Trade street he has enjoyed a fine run of business. On one side of his store he keeps a va ried hardware stock and on the other heavy and fancy groceries of all des criptions. On either side retail buyers can find anything they need in either line. A five cent counter is a feature of his establisment, and from this he has sold within the past three weeks 4,000 pieces. Mr. Butler is a highly pop ular tradesman and his customers are those of the best class. Furniture. Burgess Nicholls. His house is filled with furniture, from the best to the cheapest, and likewise the street in front of his door. The reputation of his house is established and he justly com mands a large business. Furniture along with other things, has had a great boom this season, but he has managed to keep up his stock, even wbenhisgoods were hardest to get, and has sold them at moderate prices. Just now he has on hand, as suitable for Christmas pres ents, fancy folding chairs, patent plat form rockers, and fancy brackets, not to take into account parlor and bed room suits. E. G. Rogers. Here is another clev er and responsible dealer whose busi ness has thriven with the thriving times. ao say tnat nis goods are irom the best manufactories ana are sold on the shortest profits oonsistent with good business principles, is to tell only what everybody knows or might know j it is, However, wortn while to say. that lust at this time he has some things in steel engravings, enromos ana panel pic tures which are worth looking at and buying, too, and that in fancy chairs, cnnaren s cnairs ana brackets, ne has some novelties which are worthy a look from those who are on the hunt for hol iday goods. Boots aud Shoea, &c L. Asiel Has had long experience ana excellent training in tins particu lar branch of business, and his judg ment in purchasing can with entire safety be trusted. He claims that his stock of hats, trunks, boots and shoes cannot be surpassed for quality and price and that one trial is sufficient to convince the skeptic. With his knowl edge of his business and his advantages on the Northern and Eastern markets, hie is not uneasy about competition. J. MoYER-rHas enjoyed a most ex cellent trade-since changing to the boot and shoe business. His stock has been selected with care, and be is will ing to vouch for his goods being of the best manufactures and the best quali ties. Along with- boots and shoes for ladies, gents and children, he sells hats and trunks and proposes to sell them so low that no buyer can with any jus tice complain: His stock- is quite large and varied, and next year he will move into more eligible quarters. fn; MBiW'A; On Tha ronnfofinn nf this house is well established.

(DDoipfi THE HOLIDAYS ARE NEAR AT HAND ! And both the yi-ung and old are looking forward in bright expectancy, and with joyful hopes that some kind remem brance may be left as a token of friendship from some relative or friend. We trust that none will be disappointed, and that old Santa Claus will distribute his favors not only with a liberal hand, but will not show any partiality in Ms dis bursements. We are glad to see this time-honored custom increasing in favor with the people. We hope it will continue to grow, and this joy-giving time will be looked upon as one of the happiest and brightest days in the year. Let cs all extend a willing hand and assist those who desire to carry out their part, but who, owing to numerous obligations and limited incomes, are deprived from contributing what they would be most willing to do if circumstances did hot pre vent. Let not selfishness but liberality predominate. Be willing to divide a part of your own good fortune with those who are not so fortunate, and note the change your kindness produces. The gladness that speaks from the heart will be sufficient evidence of the joy within. There is not one of us who cannot contribute something. The gift may be hum ble ; that matters not ; it will be acceptable. We trust that not only our old friends but also our young friends will, while their hearts are joyous and glad, not forget to add their mite to the happiness and pleasure of those who have not been so fortunate. We have made specialty in the selection of And have a collection that will prove useful, serviceable and acceptable. E. D. LATTA & BRO.
