,A Lady Cured of Rheumatism.
Baltimore, Md., May 7, 1880.
My health was much shattered by
Rheumatism when I commenced
taking Brown's Iron Bitters, and I
scarcely had strength enough to at
tend to my daily household duties.
Iam now using the third bottle and I
. sun regaining strength daily, and I
cheerfully recommend it to all.
I cannot say too much in praise
of it. Mrs. Mart . Brashbar.

Kidney Disease Cured.
Chris tiansburg, Va., 1881.
Suffering from kidney disease,
from which I could get no relief, I
tried Brown's Iron Bitters, which
cured me completely. ; A child of
mine, recovering from scarlet fever,
had no appetite And did not seem to
be able to eat at all. I gave him Iron
Bitters with the happiest results.
. J. Ktu Montague,
Heart Disease.
Vine St., Hanisburg, Pa,
Dec 3, 1881.
After trying different physicians
and many remedies for palpitation
of the heart without receiving any
benefit, I was advised to try Brown's
Iron Bitters. I have used two bot
tles and never found anything that
gave me so much relief;
Mrs. JsMHtx Hjess.
For the peculiar troubles to which
ladies are subject Brown's Iron
Bitters is invaluable. Try it.
Be sure and get the Genuine.

A Big Transaction in Pork.
At Wadsworth's stables, yesterday
evening, a big trade in hogs was made
between Messrs Jones and Tulley, and
Mr Settles, the sheriff of Cleveland
county. The two droves of hog 3 brought
to this city from eastern Tennessee, by
Jones & Tulley, numbering 179 heads,
were sold to Sheriff Settles for $4,000.
The hogs weighed 48,000 pounds, and
$4,000 is considered only a moderately
fair price for them.
Accident to Old Baldy.
Old Baldy, the driver of the Central's
big 'bus, was, raked ; from his seat by
the limbs of a tree, last night and pret
ty badly bruised up. Baldy thinks that
"sathin inside's hurt." He will not be
able to drive his team to-day. Fre
quently old Baldy has dozed off in his
seat on top of the 'bus and waked up
to find himself on the ground, but. this
is the first instance in the old veteran's
life of his having been raked from his
seat by a limb.
Bar Keepers and the License Tax.
At the late meeting of the board of
county commissioners, sixteen licenses
to parties to sell liquors in this city
were granted, but so far only a few
have walked up to the sheriff's office
aid taken out the necessary paper?.
The names of those who have paid
their $120 license tax are: J. C. Springs
J. D. Northey, McD. Arledge, M. A.
McCoy, J. C. Long & Co., Elliott and
Bemley and Scoville Brothers. All the
other bar keepers in the city are under
the penalty of the law.
Tne Tourists.
Mestayer's "Tourists in the Palace
Car," were greeted last night by a
crowded house, and the ; most uproari
ously jolly one that has been gathered
in the opera house this season. Some
idea of the way the play took with
the audience may be imagined from
the fact that almost everything
was encored two or three times and the
many repetitions caused the play to be
prolonged until after 11 o'clock. It is a
funny group of travelers and they cer
tainly made a big hit last night.
There's fun in "The Tourists," and the
next ; time they come a crowd larger
even than that of last night will greet
them.
Destructive Fire in the Country.
. , About three o'clock yesterday morn
ing Ythe printers going home, from The
Pbsebvk office saw a bright light in
the skies about the direction of Biddle
Institute, and they knew at once that
there was somebody's house being
burrled up in: the country. The first
person from that neighborhood who
came into the city yesterday .morning
brought the news that the fire occurred
on the farm of Mr Addison Frazier, the
weir known grower of the; Frazier
apples. ;,Mr Frazier had I been :. killing
hogs the evening previous.and had used
his meat house for slaughtering and
cleaning the hogs. ; Sometime during
the nigEt .hp flret whiffy had been kept
up under the kettle, communicated to.
the house, which was soon enveloped. in
flames. The, fire communicated from
the meat house to Mr Fraziert resi
dence and kitchen, and all were con
sumed with their contents. All of Mr
FrazieVs household and kitchen goods
were, burned, and every building on the
premises, except the'barh, was burned.
ibir JFra.zIer;io8t, among other things,
ISO bushels of apples, which he had con

SANTA CLAUS AGAIN.
The Reporter Once More Chaperoned
Iit tha HnnJ tA Man and Shown
fe8opie b tte Prlettt Things Offefed lor
th Hdlidays ljChrlote Jnerenanw.
The reporter was just getting ready
to go and see "the Tourists' last night,
when he was halted by .the familiar
tinkle of Santa Claus sleigh bells and
immediately thereafter was confronted
by the merry old man. Icicles were
.hanging to his nose, and a smile that
reached from ear to ear was frozen to
"his face. "Pretty cold where you came
from; wasn't it Mr. Santa?", the repor
ter enquired as the old . man bean
scrouging up to the stove to thaw but.
"Oh, don't speak of it," he replied, Mpnly
a balmy sort of an April day where I
came from, but to change the subject
are vou readv to co around with' me
and see some pretty things to-night V
"We are at vour service." replied; the
reporter and forthwith took his good
companion's arm and strolled forth.
Our first halting place was at the
brown stone front of
ELI AS & COHEN,
and Santa was just starting to pick the
lock when a voice from the inside was
heard exclaiming: "Ah! you purglars, I
vas wadebine for you on dis bresent
ocxasion und you haf been gatched,
dot's dolerably cerdain der bed on."
"Is that you, Landecker ?" asked San
ta, as he pushed open the door and
walked in. "Dot's me, if I knows mine
self," was the reply, "und now mine ba-
triarchigal looking old frient, if you
havs somedings to identify yourself
mit, you will oplige me by handing but
your card, und at der same dime, gon
sider myself under arrest." "All right,'
said Santa, as he handed the watchful
clerk one of the same cards which he
gave the reporter on the occasion of his
first visit to this office, and the look of
astonishment winch came over the
face of Mr. Landecker was painful to
behold. He made a thousand apologies
for his ungracious reception of the old
Saint, all of which were kindly accept
ed, and then Santa and Mr. Landecker
proceeded to show the reporter what
may be found at this well known house
lor the Christmas trade. The disp&y
of gents furnishing goods is a splendid
one, while there is shown a lovely line
of silk handkerchiefs and hosiery. The
cloaks and lace neckwear for the ladies
are simply elegant. An attractive feat
ure of the Christmas display is the line
of table damasks and covers, zephyr
shawls and ladies and gentlemen's fine
satchels and valises. "This is one of
the best places to come to in Charlotte
for Christmas presents," said Santa.
and a lovelier display of goods cannot
be found in this city. Now if Mr. Lan
decker will release us from arrest, we
will go across the street to a perfect
gem of a Christmas house,
EDDINS' BOOK STORE.
Here you see a hundred things at
once that you want to have," our good
companion said after we were once in
side the store. "Look at those beauti
ful brackets, pictures and picture
frames. Those plaques are the, latest
things out and are as pretty as can be
made. Never was a more' superb as
sortment of books opened out in this
city, and as you see there are unlimited
numbers of dainty presents like ink
stands, morrocco wallets, gold pens,
hymn books, prayer books, games and
the latest tricks of all sorts. From this
stock of goods you can find a present to
suit everybody and I want you to ad
vise all particularly, to call at Eddins'
store to select their Christmas pres
ents." dr. j. n. mcaden's.
The reporter following the lead of his
chaperone next found himself in the
drug store of Dr. J. H. McAden, where
there is the finest display of Perkins &
House's patent nickle plated and libra
ry lamps, ever brought to Charlotte.
The two large show Windows are filled
with them and elegant presents they
make, too. Besides these, there is a
splendid assortment of colognes, ex
tracts, cut glass cologne bottles, Amer
ican and French toilet soaps, combs
and many other goods suitable for
Christmas presents." Santa next car
ried us to one of the best known estab
lishments in the city,
THE MCSMITH MUSIC HOUSE,
and after pausing to look at the beauti
ful show windows, we went in and took
a look at the organs and pianos, vio
lins, harmonicas, prguinettes, harps,
music boxes, flutes, horns, base viols,
trombones and every variety of musi
cal instruments. After looking at the
instruments, Santa showed us over the
.large and complete assortment of sheet
music. "McSmith has dead loads of
presents for the people of all ages and
classes, and his music house must not
be skipped by my friends who are in
searcbof presents."
NAZARENUS & CO,
Our chaperone then conducted us
across the street to the new store of
Nazarenus & Co, where the newest and
latest novelties for Christmas are dis
played. We were shown a thousand
and-one toys for the children, and then
Santa tpok us through the bakery,
where the cakes and bread are baked,
and showed us some of the most hand
somely ornamented cakes and the pret
tiest breads ever seen in Charlotte.
"This house will be my headquarters
to morrow," said our companion, "and
I wan you . tp tell your readers that I
wilt be here to attend to their wants in
person. Now to-morrow night I will
call fot you again, and will take you
around and show you some things that
you have never dreamed of." So say
ing, Santa bade us goodnjght, and van
ished from sight.
