Sworn Statement of a Robin Hnater.
Mr. W. Q. Graham came into our
office yesterday and reported Wed
nesday night's work among the
robins in the roost on Mr Jas Pharr's
place, near the city. Being duly
sworn he said that Mr. John Beattie
and eight others went into the roost
at 7 o'clock in the evening, and re
mained there until 3 o'clock in the
morning, and that when they count
ed up their birds they found the whole
number killed during the eight hours
sport, was eight hundred and sixteen.
Mr. uraham says it was the first
time he had ever been in a robin roost
and it beat anything he ever heard of.
The roost is in a big swamp and they
knocked the robins down as fast as
they could ply their sticks. There
was a party of negroes on the oppo
site side of the roost and they killed
several hundred birds. Mr. Graham
says that he waded about through
the swamp all night, but didn't get
his feet wet a particle, because he had
on a pair of Pegram's boots
An Eye Pot Oat by an Accident.
We regret to learn of a verv pain
ful accident that, occurred to Mr.
Junius Hayes, a citizen of Paw Creek
township, resulting in the loss of one
of his eyes. Mr. Hayes was splitting
a plank, last Saturday, a week ago.
when splinter flew up and struck
him in the eye, cutting the top of the
eyeball. The injured eye became in
flamed and gave Mr. Hayes great
pain. It continued to grow wo-se
until last Sunday, when Dr. George
Graham and Dr. Paul Barringer
found it necessary to perform an
operation. All efforts to save the
sight having failed, it was decided to
cut open the ball and let the dead
matter out, so as to facilitate the heal
ing process. This was done and tbe
eye was relieved of the matter, leav
ing a sightless, sunken socket. Since
the operation, Mr. Hayes has suffered
less pain and the inflammation has
been rapidly subsiding. He has many
friends in the ceunty who will sym
pathize with him in this misfortune.
Yick's Floral Guide.
Who of us does not enjoy greeting
an old friend, especially when we can
congratulate him on looking well? It
is with some such feeling that we
welcome to our table V ick's Floral
Guide, which comes to us dressed in
the neatest and most elegant cover
that enterprising house has ever
issued. To every lover of garden
work we commend in the heartiest
possible manner, this beautiful and
exceedingly practical publication.
There is not a flower or a vegetable
grown that is not illustrated in it,
and some valuable advice given as
to how to raise and care for them.
Besides all this, the book contains a
charming colored plate of flowery
one containing a collection or vegeta
bles, and the third shows a specimen
of Vick's Extra Early Potato. Vick
presents this Floral Guide (how ap
propriate the title!) to all his last
year's customers as a present, and to
all others at the low price of ten
cents, and tells such that they can
deduct the cost of it lrom their nrst
order for seeds. To our farmer
friends, to every market gardener,
and those who merely garden for
Sleasure, we say Get Vick's Floral

Giving a Man a Chance.
He was a spry looking young man.
wearing his hair parted painfully con
spicuous and a college Daage on nis
coat lapel marked him as a man of
literary attainments. We felt at
once that we were m tne presence oi
a man who knew how to run a news
paper, and were not surprised when
he inquired the chances for a situa
tion. "What you want," he said, "is
a live, wide awake man on your staff.

give him a chance, and immediately
closing a contract with hiiri, sent him
out to beat the bushes for news. The
result was highly satisfactory. He
came in at night, and after tearing
out three-fifths of his hair and chew
ing up an inch of his pencil, thus
chronicled the events of yesterday as
he had observed them:
It is very muddy on the streets.
Yesterday was a dull, rainy day.
The red sunsets still continue.
The days are growing longer.
Work will soon commence on the
new union depot.
The new spu-e to the Methodist
church is about completed.
Mr. vt nistieaown is aigging a new
well on his lot.
One of our enterprising livery men
had a horse shod yesterday.
The police didn t run in a single
drunk during the whole of yesterday.
By the time be had finished the last
paragraph he came to the conclusion
that the calling of a reporter was too
humble to suit him, and though we
offered to double his salary, he re
fused to enlist for another day, and
carried himseii out to hunt up some
other business that is in need of - a
man to run it who knows how.
The Man to Fll the Vacancy.
To the Fditor of the Observer.
As the office of cotton weigher has
become vacant by reason of the resig
nation ot tne rormer occupant, it nas
been suggested that much ot the dis
satisfaction heretofore existing in re
cord to the cotton weighing business
in Charlotte can be allowed by the se
lection of the "new man." It is be
lieved that Col. Chas. W. Alexander
would be acceptable to everybody in
interested. He is a gentleman held
in high esteem by the public, and
practically qualified to discharge tha
duties of the position. " Lu

CONGRESS SPRING
The Standard Mineral Water.
CATHARTIC, ALTERATIVE. A specific for dis
orders of the Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, Eczema,
Malaria and all Impurities of the BLOOD.
So enviable a name has this famous Mineral
Water, that the managers of inferior mineral
springs, desirous of Imitating the natural purity of
the bottled water of Congress Spring, inject a pow
erful acid in their bottled water to preserve toe
crude Ingredients in solution, being so heavily
laden with
L.ime and Iron Deposit.
With such contrivances, bogus testimonials and
doetored analysis cards they seek to rival the pure
medicinal waters of Congress Spring.
Th wwnlar season visitors to Saratoga fully un
derstand these crude, harsh waters, many of them
after painful experiences. In preof of this fact we
can Droduee a great many responsible names. But
the Saratoga visitors without experience, and many
whonsetho bottled waters (often labeled as cura
- which thev positively aggravate).
should remember, that crude, harsh mineral waters

Mas. Person Please let me know the price of
your medicines and how to remit, as I wish to order
some for a case of Scrofula. Tours, Ac.,
J. H. GILKET, M. D.
CHAPTKB n.
After ordering a lot to try, he simply reported;
"The case is improving." On his second order then
came the following:
Marion, K. C, January 27th, 1881.
Mrs. Joe Person:
Hadam Enclosed please find postoffice order for
$4.25, for which you will send two bottles of your
bitters, as the scrofulous ulcers heme nbxit healed up,
and do not now require the wash. I am glad to In
form you that the Remedy Is relieving the case.
Tours truly. J. H. GILKET.
CHAPTKB 111.
Marion, N. C, March 7th, 1881.
Mrs. Jok Person:
Dear Madam Enclosed please find postoffice
order for $4.25, for which you will please send me
three pint bottles of your tonic and two powders for
wash, as I wish to try it in another case.
Yours truly.
J. H. GILKET.
CHAPTER IV.
Marios, N. C, October 20th, 1882.
Mrs. Jos Person, Frankllnton:
Madam Dr. OUkey, of this place, informed me
to day thnt you were here some time ago and told
MmtoucMiid cure Scrofula, and he advised me to
write to you for some of your circulars. I have a
sore on my teg and hip. It will cure up and break
oat just below where it cures up. I have been treat
ed by several physicians. Some say It Is Scrofula,
others say it is Lupus and Salt Rheum. It is Just
skin deep; it never gets deep; is very painful; don't
rest at night, I want you to send me your circular
and prices of your medicine, and if I think, after
reading them, that It will do me any good, I will
order some of the medicine at once. I have had the
sores for 18 months, and have paid out a great deal
of money to parties that have done me no good.
Hoping to year from you soon, I remain,
Respectfully,
S. C. DALE.
CHAPTER V.
The following, cut from tbe Marlon Lamp Post,
makes a fit ending of the comedy, and speaks fol
itself:
Mr. S. C. Dale, of this place, who for years had
been suffering from aggravated Scrofula, has In
three months use of this medicine entirely recovered.
His case was almost hopeless, being scarcely able
to get about on crutches. He Is now In active busi
ness. Six bottles effected a cure.
ANOTHER COMEDY.
CHAPTER I.
Triangle, N. C, March 20th, 1882.
Mrs. Joe Person, Frankllnton, N. C. :
Madam A. circular advertising your Remedy lot
Scrofula was handed us by a highly respectable phy
sician a few days ago, who said it had been recom
mended to him by such medical authority that he
desired to give it a trial in his practice, and desired
us to keep it in stock.
Please give us terms. Tours,

CHAPTER II.
SIGNIFICANT TESTCMOKT.
Triangle, N. C, September 30, 1882.
Mrs. Jok Person:
Dear Afotam-r-Pfease send three dozen more of
your valuable Remedy, as the lot you shipped us

and a half dozen of your Remedy since April, and

CHAPTfeRin.
A month or so later Messrs. Elncald & Linebarger
ordered six dozen more, and on the 21st of June,
1883, wrote the following significant letter:
