this extreme. At King's Mountain,
on the Air Line road, about ; forty
mues from this city, a sensation was
occasioned night before 4ast by the
suicide of a colored man named Bill
bmith. The unfortunate darkey was
m,,love with a dmkY damsel
of that village, and it happened that
ne had a rival who was also enamored
of ' the woman; whose name is Mary
Ann Hoskins. Smith had been pay
mg her attentions for some time, and
his devotion seemed to be real and
8incere. The woman farmr-A c..;t

told her that he would make -her
sorrv' for it
thereafter he hung on in hopes that
she would repent of her conduct to
wards him. The woman, however
did not show any signs of thawing
-v, ouu xuureuay atcernoon she
had another quarrel with Smith.
With,, true modern ; sentimentalism,
Smith went to his cabin. loaoVd hi

Ann," and sent a bullet through his
brains. , -. .-
. There' were several "colored people
in the house when Smith shot him-

told them that he was going to kill
himself, but they thought he was
joking ana paid no attention to him
until they heard the shot and saw
his body fall to the floor. The weapon
used was a 32 calibre pistol. A sum
mons was sent to the coroner, who
lives in Shelby, and who was expect
ed to hold an inquest over the re
mains, but. as our informant says it
was a clear case of . suicide, and no
suspicions of foul play were enter
tamed, it is doubtful if any inquest
was held.

a In this morning's issue of Thk Ob-(
server appears tho advertisement of
the Commercial National Bank, - of
Charlotte and we take occasion to
supplement the advertisement with
a few items in regard to this bank;
which was organized just after the
pajiic of 1873. ' Its success has been
flattering and it has held its own
with the older banks, receiving its
full shiire of business, and exhibiting
a condition at the present date which
will compare " favorably with ' any
bank in the State! During the past
three' or four years, so its officers ins
form us, its business in many depart
ments has doubled itself and the bank
now stands, with respect to resources,
security and management,, among
the most trusted and popular banking
institutions of the South. -
From the report of the president to
the stockholders at the recent annual
meeting, we find that this bank alon&,
during the past four months, has paid
iff-- upwards of 20,000 bales of cotton,
paying therefor nearly a million ot
dollars. Its stockholders' are among
our most influential and. wealthy ciU
izens, the directors representing sev
eral millions of dollars. Mr. R. M,
White, its president, is an old bank
official, and Capt. A. G. Brenizer, t!
IHeieorolofical Committee. " - f ! j?
v The Charlotte Chamber of Com
merce is moving in earnest to secure
the establishment of weather signals,
in connection with the service of the
signal station in this city, and three
members of that body have been
named to constitute a meteorological
committee. The gentlemen compos
ing this committee are Gen. . T. - F.
Prayton, Mr. S. A Cohen and Mai.
W. VV. Flemming. The object of
this action is merely to show the
RUt.hnritipn tbat. mil lunnla ava inW
ested in the matter and really desire
to have the signal service here im
proved, it would require some ex.
pense on the part of the government
to make the proposed addition to the
station in this city and the- authori-i
ties did not care to go to the expense
unless they had some evidence that
the people here wanted the extra ser
vice, hence the action of the Cham-,
ber of Commerce. ;The signal station
as it sow is, is of but little advantage
to bur city, but with the new system
its worth would be quickly- realized.
Those who have the matter in haijd
are confident that we will shortly
have the weather signal svstem es
tablished here, and then our people
can tell by the color of the flag dis
played whether it is a storm, or. a
cold wave which is coming within "24
hours following the appearance of
the flag. Such a service would be of
great benefit to bur community and
we hope that we will get it.

"Mrs. Job Person:
"Madam-Onthe 29th of last May a boy child
well developed to every respect was born In this
city, bnt the "King of Terrors" began to chisel
about its little heart, and notwithstanding its
plump and vigorous constitution the poison in the
blood soon began to manifest itself in what the
meaicai men term '.Eczema.' 'Piinnra. nr usnuii.
tary Taint' Some old 'mothers concluded the
child had the "yellow thrash.' Tet whatever the
disease it was certainly a stubborn master for the
doctors, s I'-lii i--,rr,lc
- The mother took the little sufferer to the coun
try, hoping that the pure fresh, air might be bene
ficial, and Dr. oi Lnmberton, was called to
treat the case. He pronounced It Eczema, and did
all be could tor It, but to no purpose, any more
than to check the fever to which the disease sub
jected the bOy. - v
i"At the first frost the victim was again removed
to tne city, ana immediately Dr. was called
and he pronounced the disease 'Pupura,' and pre
scribed accordingly, feeding up. the disease on iron
and other minerals until the babe's month be
came so sore that for two weeks It did not nurse,
A friend suggested as a last hope and resort
; "MRS. JOS PERSON'S REMEDY
"ill means Of procuring any more help or medi
cine had failed, and In this hour of deepest de
spair the poor mother went and asked her
glst to let her have one bottle and one package of
the Remedy, and was refused, because she did not
have the money to pay for i It. She pawned her
wedding ring and raised $1.50 to pay for the medi
cine. . , , ,
"When she gave the child the first dose, three
weeks ago to-day , the Utile follow was a mass of
scab sores from the hips to the knees,and at seven
months old had never" borne his weight on his feet
To dy, by the help of Pod and a faithful adminis
tration of the Remedy the child is well and strong
In the legs, and hist Sabbath morning while the
mother was weeping at the necessity ot drying up
hef breast, betook hold and nursed as strong and
vigorous as ever. The administration ot the
Remedy is still kep up to effect a complete Cure. I
