THE PLANTERS PILL ! ! !
Ii. F. Hibbard Jlnti-Billious rills
These Pills having got into general use at the.
North as a family pill, are offered to the South
as the very best pill that can be used in warm
weather, or during the sickly season. For all
diseases of the head, for Fever and Ague, Jaun
dice, Bilious Colic, and Flatulency, they are not
surpassed by any other Medicine known. The
minuteness of the dose (only two Pills) their
simplicity and energy, together with their great
convenience, happily adopt them to the use of
families, travellers, emigrants, seamen &c.
FOR FEVER AND AGUE.
Perhaps there never was a rertiedy that has
done more to eradicate from the system, that
peculiarity of Bilious Aflection accompanied by
fever called Fever and Ague, as these Pills when
taken according to directions, they never fail to
perfect a cure
The Pills were made by the original proprietor,
Rev. B. Hibbard, about 50 years ago ; B. F. Hib
bard, son of the Rev. B. H., is the present pro
prietor, and still continues to manufacture in his
own name.
BILIOUS COLIC Patients find relief from
a single dose of them. I have known individuals
attacked with Bilious Colics and so severe was
the griping, painful sensation, that they.? svjee
unable to straighten themselves-; they have tsikf
ken a large dose of the Pills, bruised to jlcns-dtr
and put in brandy, that in tiftj&en jninuetre
able to sit up and converse. , ; - v "rf, ,;J ;
The great truth, that preventive Js hettejban
cure, should be regarded as truth rathe tbait'Cc
tion, and the first symptoms ot disease should be
promptly met . by a dose of Pills; and-by .thus
much ot care "we should find ourselves id ol a
thousand troubles. V
The cheapness of the Tills, their convenience
and their certainty of action, render it very im
portant for each family to keep them constantly
on hand.
Whoever wishes to secure good health and
good spirits, will not fail to take these Pills
according to directions.
The public utility and ttnbounded popularity
of these Pills render it unnecessary to insert
many certificates ; those however, who may be
anxious to learn still farther particulars, can be
fully satisfisd by application to the proprietors
and manufacturers.
Every effort should be made to guard against
fraudulent and pernicious imitations of HIB
BARD'S PILLS, as the secret of preparing and
compounding them is only known to the family
oi the discoverer.

designed for military companies in North
Carolina. One was for the Rough and
Ready Light Dragoons,'' of Elizabeth city.
It is made of heavy scarlet silk, three and
a halt by four feet in size. On one side is
a likeness of Gen. Taylor, painted by Jeff
ries, with an eagle over his head, holding
in his beak a scroll, on which is inscribed
. Pro PatriaS'The reverse of the flag
has a figure of an officer of the company
in full uniform, in the attitude of a salute,
with the name of the company in a scroll.
The flag is trimmed with heavy gold bul
lion fring, and cord and tassels of cold and
silk. The staff is beautifully finished, with
gilt spear, &c. The other is a flag for a
company of the Third Regiment of N. C.
Militia. It is a regular U. S. flag, about 7
feet long. The field piece is blue; on one
side is the American eagle, holding in its
beak a scroll, ' with the motto, ' Semper
paraebsi" on the other is the name of the

BILLY WHITE'S PRIVATE OPINIONS :
OR. THE LOGIC OF A LOAFER.
Poor Billy White! He is, a9he sagely
remarks, the wictim of circumstances."
Billy returned here the other day on the
steamer Fashion, from Vera Cruz, where
he had been employed as a mule-driver.
He had a dollar or two in his pocket, but
soon after his arrival he foand that his last
picayune had been spent in a grogery on
New Levee street, just above the steam
boat landing. Draging himself out front
under a wood-pile the next morning after
his debauch, he made his way to the place
where he had spent the last'of his dimes.
His hands trembled and hi lips twitched
and quivered, and indeed, to use his own .
eloquent expression 4 he had the shakes ti
terribly on to him." He beckoned the
barkeeper aside in a most mysterious man
ner, as though he had something of the
utmost importance to communicate.
44 Look here, old feller," said Bill, in a
sort of grow ling whisper, ' I want a whis
key toddy strong, with a leetle peppermint
and a slight shake of the nutmeg into it $
but 1 niut got the first red cent to pay you
for it." & V J J
4 " Sec that sign there!"' answered the
barkeeper, pointing to an ornamental piece
of japanned tin on w hich was painted in
golden letters 4 'Cash to-day and credit
to-morrow."
Billy gave a languishing look at a neigh
boring wiskey bottle, and runninghis hands
into his pantaloons pockets, he walked
slowly and sadly out of the groggery into
the street. Luck, how ever, did not de
sert Billy ; for, while passing the corner
near the 1 nangle-Buildings, a cab broke
down and the trunk of the passenger inside
tell out. Ihe gentleman told Hilly that if
he would carry the trunk to a ship that he
pointed out he would give him tilty cents.
VV 1 tli the alacrity and strength ot a young
giant Billy shouldered the load, safely de
posited it at the appointed place, received
liis half-dollar, and went on his way as
happy as a prince. At the first grogshop
Billy took what he called an "eye-opener,"
made of gin and bitters, then a 44 phlegm
splitter'' of rum and water, and lastly a
44 nor-wester" of raw whiskey. These
little creature-comforts made him feel hap
py, and he went out into the street in search
ot nothing in particular. Billy wandered
about nil day, calling in at this groggery
antl at that, and at night he fountf himself
sitting on the edge of the wharf in front of
the front boat landing. He was in a rather
sorrowful mood, and thus gave vent to his
feelings.
44 Yes, " said he, with a whimper, "that's
me. Tirrjist like that flatboat tloatin 011
the waters rottin all my timbers, and no
body to break me for fire-wood That
ere old flat is like me, too, in another way:
It was auerry good boat to come down
stream with corn, pork, and all them sorts
of wegetables, but now, when all them's
discharged, they dont care a tinker's damn
for it! That's my case, kcrzackly I was
weirygood when I listed in the mule
drivtrs,f but hen they discharged me they
sa'ul I wasn't worth a damn! How could
I help it if the darn mules broke out of the
pen when them fellers, the giuelkillers or
guerrillas, or some sich named fellers
come! Wasn't it a rain in cats'n dogs, antl
was I a going to get soaked in to the skin
for the sake of a parcel of long-eard crit
ters like mules ? I reckons not, my wali
ant CaptinS Bill White aint the teller to
low er hisselfin that way, whatever he may
be in othor pertiklers. Then, agin, was
I court-martialled? Did I have any boards
of ossifers to set on me, and see who was
in the right ? No" V
Here Billy gave a deep-da R sigh,
wiped his left eye with the corner of his
jacket, and proceeded -.,
Either me or the inule3 was right ; but
the yeller Mexikins took one of us, and the
Merikans took the other. Then they
wouldn't let me stay to tight the battles
out. Oh, no! they was jealous of me, and
sent me home to pine away like a dog who's
made his dinner oft'of a p'riened sassenger.
Howsomnevcr, as I once heerd a feller say
011 a Fourth of'July oration, 4 Republics is
ungrateful an no mistake 1 dont know
what to do ; I'm too poor to work an I'm
too proud to beg. I've been in the work
house so often that they wont send me
down any more ; and that's what I call a
wiolation of a freeman's rights tSpose I
goes on the highway with a big boss-pistol
and demand people to 'stand and deliver,'
who's the lawyer as will cottte forred to
defend me if I aint got the dimes to fee
him? I'd commit suercide, but what's the
use of that? Ten chances to one my body
wouldn't be found, and if it was, and an
inquest was held on my smolderin remains,
what would be the consequence? Would
any feller write poetry on my wirtocs and
my inwallibleness as a member of society?
No! all my eppertaph would be that a white
feller was found in the river with a pair
of blue cottonade pants, a check shirt, and
a pair of coarse brogans on.' And then,
what would the werdict be? Why, nothiu
but found drownded.' Who's a goin to
die under sich circumstances? Not me,
by"
" Who's that talking so loud there?"
asked a night policeman.
44 It aint me !" said Bill, with a shudder;
46 it's a gentleman as is jist gone under the
wharf there. I've heerd him alkiti to
hisself for more'n half of a hour."
The watchman left Billy to Wn meditations.
