departed this life at the residence of his
father, Mr. Audrew Murphy, on the eve

The deceased had obtained license to prac

active duties of life with a cheering pros
pect of success and usefulness. Frauk
and generous, and of an ardent temper

who knew him. But in the opening of
bis career the seeds of consumption were
developed ; and, although nearly always
dangerous, the flattering hope of overconT

the food hopes of friends, for a year or
more. Elowly but surely his strength
failed, and the contest had its usual ter

PLAIN WORDS.
The following from the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle and Constitutionalist, hits the
nail on the head, and is as applicable to
one placets another :
A newspaper is not a public institution,
but a purelv private enterprise. It is
usually printed solely and entirely for the
benefit of its owners. ThU may be selfish,
and, perhaps, a sordid view of the ques
tion, but it is, nevertheless, the true aud
honest one. This obvious fact is too often
overlooked by individuals seeking the
use of its columns for special purposes.
It is a matter of almost daily occur
rence for a publisher to be solicited to
print gratuitously certain articles not
bearing upon public, but simply advoca
ting private or corporate interests. This
is frequently done on the specious plea
that supposed industries or municipal in
terests may bo ultimately benefited by
the publication, when iu reality no effort
would be made to secure the result if per
sonal interests were not at the foundation

On meeting a friend the fir.-t inquiry is al
ways regarding his health. Why ? Reeatise
health is of the fi-sl consideration; yet many
will sit in a cold, damp theatre, regardless ol
weak lungs and hacking cough. Discard pome
of the ephemeral pleasures ot the day, such as
theatre-going, cigar-smoking, &c, and invest
vour small change in something that will be a
asting benefit. For instanoe, Conssens com

will cure your Cough, Cold, and M diseases o!
the Throat and Lungs. Trv it. For sale at

A Very Good Reason.
The reason why only one sample bottle of
Merrel's IIepatine for the Liver will be sold
to the same person, for ten cents, by our Drug
gist, Theo. F. Kluttz is because of the enormous
expense of importing the IIepatine into thi
country ; but as there are fifty doses in the large
size bottles, it seems two cents per Hose is cheap
enough afterall for a medicine tha cures dys
pcysia and liver complaint. All who have not
had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten
cents at Theo. F. Kluttz' s Drug store. Three
doses relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipa
ion, indigestion or liver compl.r.nt, in the
world. Regular size buttles, filly doses, 1 00.

THE DOCTOR.
Mr, Editor: It has been said by a great
author ami with much truth that "no men Jive
iiuirn fur th. Mublic. and lew lor themselves
than the industrious, and attentive practilion
ers of Medicine." Having spent years 111 pa
tient study, incurring; very considerable ex
pense and outlay of caj.ital in acquiring a
knowledge of tht liealinjr art, they embark in
iheir arduous calling for the most part with
hut limited pecuniary means or resources.
From tlie moment of 'marling out -upon his
career as a practitioner to the clone of ilia life,
hi time, health and energies, physical and in
tellectual are incessantly devoted to the work
of combatting the maladien, and alleviating
the sufferings of hia fellow beings. He ia re
quired to study and laborin season and out of
season, often at the peril of Jd life, and with
that eeafielesa anxiety, and mental disquietude
known only to those to whose hands are com
mitted the eick and the dying, and on. whoe
attention and efforts hang the hopes of the
family and the friends of the afflicted. Surely
men whoae lives are devoted to a calling like
Wilmington Star: Judge Brooks, of the

grave questions 01 puuiic poncy, which
every honest and independent journalist
will fearlessly discuss without consider
ing who may be pleased or offened, or
what, effect his course may have upon the
question of patronage. The point we de
sire to make is that the same rules which
apply to general business should be inva
riably extended to newspapers. The ad
vertising columns of a newspaper are ex
actly like the wares upon a storekeeper's
shelves, and it is from their proper and
legitimate use that the publisher, in con
nection with the sale of his paper, obtains
the revenues which enables him to issue
his journal.

Mr. Merrinion presented the petition of
Rev. William A. Julian and others, citi
zens of Rowan, North Carolina, praying
for the establishment of a post-route from
China Grove to Edmandstonville, in that
State; which was referred to tho Commit

Concord 5mm; Dr. Sol. Furr, anticipa
ting a short crop of locals this week, walk
ed in on us, last Saturday, with an owl
four feet four inches, a hawk eight feet
seven inches, and a pocket full of Cabar
rus gold ore. The hawk and owl he shot
from the same tree, and the gold ore he
picked up from the ground. One of his
rocks, no bigger than your thumb,
contained $25.00 in gold. The doctor
says the people ot his township don t
think anything of walking up a branch
and picking up a pocketfnl of gold rocks.
Wendell Phillips lectured in Boston last
Sunday night on the political situation,
during which e 6aid the principal criti
cism he had to make against the national
administration was not in regard to any
one act, but "in its lowering of self-respect
and the snobbishness which has marked
the course of the acting President toward
the Southern men." Phillips is evident
ly unhappy over this era of peace.

Now and Then.
It h nnh now and then that such men as
Hon. Alex'. H Stephen-, Ex-Gov Smith and
Ex-Gov. Brown of Ga., endorse a medicine for
the throat and lungs, and when they do it is
prettv good evidence that the remedy must be
eood l'or the cure of coughs, colds and long af
fections. Thev recommend the (ilA'CE Flow
er CoUGH Svrcp, and their testimonials are
to be een round the ten cent Parnple bottles of
the Globe Flower Syrup, for sale by Theo. F.
Kluttz. A sample bottle relieves the worst
cough and will cure ore throat. Regular size
bottles, fifty doses, $1.
Astonishing Success. ,
It is the duty of every person who ha used
Boschee's German Svbup to leta it wonder
ful qualities be known to their frienda in cur
ing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asth
ma, Pneumunia, and in fact all throat and
Inn? diseases. No person can use it withou;
immediate relief. Three doses will relieve
nv case, and we consider it the duly of all
Druggists to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,
000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no
case where it failed was reported, bueh a med
icine aa the German Stbcp cannot be too
widely known. Ask your Druggist about it.
Sample bottle to try nold at 10 cent. Kegular
size 75 cents. For aale by all Druggists.
