PLAIN
TRUTHS
The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Brown's Iron Bitters will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation,, ind is posi
tively not injurious.

Feb. 12, 1880.
Gents : Upon the recommenda
tion of a friend I tried Brown's
Ikon Pitthrs as a tonic and re
storative for my daughter, whom
1 was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care of
jfminent physicians, I was loth to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh
ter nad taken one bottle of Brown s
Ikon Eitters, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re
quired ;" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking Brown's
Iron Bitters, responded "that is
good tonic, take it."
Adoram Phelps.
Brown's Iron Bitters effectual
ly cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Weakness, and renders the greatest
relief and benefit to persons suffering
from such wasting diseases as Con
sumption, Kidney Complaints, etc.

The Cutters of Cottontown.
If it was not for the cotton cutters,
Cottontown would be dull once in
awhile, as it would have been yester
day, but the festive cutters permit no
thing like dullness to pervade their do
mains. If it begins to get quiet they
buy a rabbit, collect a lot ol dogs and
wake up the lazy neighborhood. If the
rabbit is not handy, perchance they will
get a brace of dogs, append a tin can to
each of their appendages and start
them off with a whoop. Should the
dogs be scarce as was the case yester
day, they resort to foot races. The
whole party drew up in line at the Col
lege street crossing, and made a dash
for the railroad crossing. Tobe Mor
row, who started out behind the crowd
beat them all to the goal and took the
pot. After the race, the boys covered-
the distance back to the starting point

FRANK LESLIE'S WIDOW.
On Her Way South--Something About
a Woman Who Employs 400 Work
men.
As mentioned in the Observer a day
or two ago, Mrs. Frank Leslie and par
ty, who are on a southern tour, and
who have secured rooms at the Central
in this city, ar now in Richmond and
may be expected here in the course of
a week. The State says that Mrs Les
lie is making her southern tour especi
ally with a view of writine ui aud il
lustrating the principal southern
States. She starts with Richmond, and
not only will the results of the tour be
utilized now, but in her trip she will be
able to so survey the field a3 to map
out work for the future. Mrs Leslie is
a Louisiana lady. The story of her life
is an interesting one, and is inseparable
from the history of American illustra
ted journalism.
In the lifetime of her husband she
edited the Lady's Magazine, and also
assisted him in many ways, and such
was the opinion he entertained of her
abilitv that when told he
must die he said to her: "Go to my of
fice, sit in my place and do my work un
til mv debts are paid." The widow up
on taking possession of the establish
ment, found that she mast have $50,
000 cash to pay off the balance of credi
tors' claims before she proceeded. At
the meeting of her creditors Mrs Leslie
said: "Oh, if I could only find a woman
with $50,000 to lend." They were amus
ed at the wish, which appeared novel,
and yet the wish was soon gratified. A
young man who had been befriended
by Mr Leslie and knowing his widow's
difficulties, without saying anything to
Mrs Leslie, called upon Mrs Thomas K
Smith, a wealthy lady of Brooklyn, and
laid the case before her. The lady be
came interested, went to see Mrs Les
lie, and loaned her $50,000, and the wid
ow paid every debt. From the time she
took hold of the business she displayed
such executive skill that not only was
she able to repay the money loaned by
her friend, but also was enabled to en
large the capacity of the publishing
house.
"How does she manage such an es
tablishment?" asked the reporter of
one of her party.
"Well, he replied, "she is a woman
of business, and, indeed, by her life, has
refuted the taunt so often made of wo
man's inability to grapple with great
difficulties. She is in her office every
morning at 9 o'clock, and there she re-
m tins until 5 in the afternoon. She signs
all checks and money orders, makes all
contracts for supplies of every sort,
looks over proofs of all articles before
they are published, and approves the
make-up of every periodical before it is
sent to press."

Last Night's Amusement at the Rink.
The skating rink was perfectly
crowded last night, the floor was filled
with ukaters and the four sides of the
large hall crowded with spectators. It
was beyond a doubt the largest crowd
ever seen at the Jink and for aught we
know, the largest that will be seen
there for some time. Captain Happy
McSmith could hardly contain himself
for joy at the success of the affair. Mc
an 1 his band are an institution in this
city of which our people are duly appre
ciative. The exhibition of skating was
very fine and was a real treat to the
large audience. The band will realize
quite handsomely from last night's
benefit, and will clear probably $100
The ladies contest for the prize cup
was quite animated there being about

FORTY YEARS AGO.
An Old Citizen's Recollections of Char
lotte's Business in the Distant Past.
The Observer reporter, in conver
sation with an old citizen, learned some
facts relative to business men of Char
lotte and their occupations forty years
ago, that will no doubt prove interest
ing reading to the people of the present
day, and will further show the great
contrast between the business of the
town as it was then and as it is now.
Our friend's recollection of Charlotte
and her people is clear and distinct as
far back as 1844. At that time Char
lotte was only a small town.with about
i,oou lnnauiLauits, uu, as win De re
membered by all of our old citizens, the

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
The Marcli number is one of the mott
interesting that has yet appeared of

A Robin Roost in the Country.
Mr. Dick Torrence, who lives t n
miles from the city, in Lemley's town
ship, reports that there is the biggest
sort of a robin roost on hi3 farm and
the neighbors are having immense fun
slaying the birds at night. The favor
ite way of killing the birds is to carry
torches into the thicket and knock the
birds right and left with a stick. Some
carry guns and bring down the bird3
by the score at every fire. Mr. Tor
rence says that notwithstanding the
great slaughter that goes on every
night, the number of the birds does not
seem to diminish in the least ; they.ri
to be counted by the thousands. As
many as two hundred and fipy robins
have been killed in one night. A party
Of our city sports are arranging to visit
the roost and have some fun.
Yesterday's Work of the Police.
The police had a right busy time yes
terday afternoon promenading offend
ers to the lock up. One unfortunate
man was carried to the jail for safe
keeping, and three drunks were taken
to the guard house. About dark com
plaint was made that a horse had been
standing hitched to a rack in one of the
back lots since Thursday morning,
without food or water, and the police
took the animal to Chambers' stable?,
where it will be cared for until the
owner is found. The horse is a first rate
animal, and the mystery of its owner
ship will no doubt be cleared up in a
few days.

A Stranger, and lie was Taken In.
If any of our readers know of an old
gentleman from this State, who went
to Augusta recently with a pile of
money, here's something that will inter
est them. The Evening News, of the
15th inst, says that "last night at the
Burke nouse, in this city, a negro
named Jack Green, who had been for
some time an inmate of the negro hos
pital in this city, succeeded in robbing
an old gentleman, whose name the re
porter failed to obtain, but who hails
from North Carolina, of $2oi in money,
a watch and chain and a fine pistol. Of
course Jack decamped as soon as he got
possession of the property, and when
the North Carolinian arose, this morn-
iug he first discovered his loss. Green
has not yet been detected."
THE OHIO FLOOD.
The Water Still Rising at Louisville,
and Much Sickness Among the Peo
ple. LonsviLLE, Feb. 16. The backwa
ter at Washington street had last night
flooded the basement of the Gait House
and the rear rooms of the basement
werj submerged. The water was sev
eral feet deep in the new Short Line's
passenger depot The situation was
probably more dangerous last night
than at any other time, the backwater
coming through the sewer in many
places. The river was rising one foot
per hour. Clouds were gathering and
it was expected that there wauld be a
rainfall before morning. The flood has
stopped the machinery in the water
works. In the pumping station a mile
above the cut off. vesterdav morniner at
8 o'clock the water rose so high that the
nres under tne Doner were nut out and
the engine stopped, There is no dan
ger of a water famine as there is twen
ty days supply in Crescent Hill reser
voir. Fifteen houses on the Point floated
away and swept over the falls yester
day. More will probably follow. There
is already much sickness amone the
sufferers. Health officer Montgomery
says it is nothing now, compared to
what it will be in a few days. A sani
tary commission will be formed at once
and medical stations fixed in various
portions of the citv where medicine
and the proper attendance of physi
cians will be afforded free.
An Alabama Tax Collector Robbed.
Montgomery, Feb. 16. A special to
the Advertiser says: The tax collector
of Lawrence county, S D Houston, left
Courtland yesterday to go to Moulton,
the county seat, with $4,300, which he
was carrying to the county superinten
dent of education. About 6 miles from
town in a lonely part of the road a
masked man stopped him, presented a
revolver and robbed him of S3.300. one
thousand dollars was concealed in
Houston's boots and the robber failed
to discover it. The robber then took
Houston's horse and rode off. No clue
to the identity of, the highwayman.
No Precedent to Retire Smalls.
Wasiiingmox, Feb. 1C The House
committee on naval affairs to-day de
cided that there was no precedent for
the passage of the bill to place Repre
sentative Smalls, of South Carolina on
the retired list. Smalls as a civilian
during the war captured the Confed
erate steamboat Planter, at Charleston,
and delivered it to the United States
military officers at Hilton Head, S. C.
Ihe committee however decided to re
commend a re-apportionment of the
prize money for the capture of the
rianter, This will srive Smalls an ad
ditional allowance.
