ed the best of repution. He makes a
specialty j of upholstering, in all its
branches, and in that department has
taken instruction from the best teacher
lie could find.:
1 1 Mr. Davis buys in Baltimore, Phila

Mr. Davis tells us that the chier de

$20 or $50 will bay! Furniture has
not been so cheap for years as it is now

DS. J. F. GRtFFITn. .
As a matter of course, the Watch
1man find something to say of the pro
fessional gentlemen of town in this re
view, and we here make some meiitioii
of Dr. GriiSth, whom we may consider
a representative ot the art or dentistry.
And that dentistry is an art, and one
that has mightily developed of late
years, it requires no argument to prove
to tho.-e who were subjected to dental
torture a quarter of a century ago, and
Who have also experienced the milder
ministrations of later-day dentists.
There is one fe itnre, especially, con
nected with Dr. Griffith's practice, that
we can most heartily commend. He
doesn't believe iu tearing down in or
d'jr to rebuild. He appears to think that
it is better to preserve than to destroy,
and his practice of dental surgery is
based upon that common-sense plat
form. He is not s6 old a man as to be
grounded in old-time prejudices he is
not so young as to be led captive by
every plausible proposition it is essen
tially true of his career as a profession
al man that he has investigated meth
ods carefully and that he rejects neith
er the old nor the new methods simply
because of their growth or old age.
' Dr. Grilllth is a native of Forsyth
icountv. He is a graduate of the first
Dental College to be oraganized in
America the Baltimore College of
Dental Surgery, but before receiving
his! diploma at that honored and old
time institution he had attended lec
tures at the Pennsylvania College of
Dental Surgery, at Philadelphia. The
advantages g;iined by this thorough
course of 'study "have been supplemen
ted! bv careful, studiom readme and
by equally careful, studious practice,
find during the thirteen years that Dr.
Griffith has resided in . Salisbnry he has
shown that he la up wjth the times, in
ilL that relates to his prof eseion.
Recently we met him and made some
inquiries relative, to the status of the
dental profession as represented by him.
He informed us, quite to our astonish
hieut, that he was called upon to man-
utacture but comparatively lew sets oi
artmcial teeth ptr year very ley as
compared with most leading dental
practitioners in towns the size ot this,
and BDonmir exnressinff surprise he
kaidr "I diseouraije the substitution of
artificial for natural teeth whenever I
honestly can 1 try to teach my pa
tients how to preserve their teeth, and
so I my practice is largely operative.'"
We can heartily say good" to such a
sentiment, and it is one that our read
ers ! can reflect upon if they wkh to
save both inental and physical pain to
themselves.
! Dr. Griffith has his office in his new
residence at the corner of Innis and
Church streets. He has here surroun
fled himself 'with all the approved ap
pliances 6f hi profession, and at ail
times is to he. found ready to minister to
those who require the professional, ser
vices that his thorough education and
long'experience renders him so compe

and adjacent counties nave learned
that herewas a reliable boot and shoe
housey And it stands to reason , that a
man who makes it his study and his
business to buy and sell one class of
goods can do himself andj customers
better justice than' if he were "potter-
ing wmi a nan nunurea anierent
lines. It is equally true that Mr. Over
man has made the matter of foot-wear
a careful study he buys in such mar
kets as , he can to the best advantage,
and so he sells at rates that the people
appreciate. Among the finest makes
ot goods he sells are the tamous "Boy
den' and "Burt" goods, and for either
ladies, gentlemen or children the house
can meet mo;t demands either, as re
gards style, quality or price. Quite a
wholesale trade is also held with coun
try merchants, and either wholesale of
retail buyers have learned to look with
ravor upon the house. -
On the loth ot January Overman &
Holmes removed to No. 4 'Murphy's
How a few doors awav to a ouild-
iW in part owned by Mr. Overman.
The new quarters are fully as good as
those formerly occupied, and the
Watchman readers want to bear this
fact in mind, and give the house a good
send oil "in its new quarters.
J. A. CLODFELTEE.
The first regular furniture store to
be establisheel in Salisbury after the
war was opened by the firm of Moore
& Clodfelter, on main street. Subset
quently they sold to a Charlotte firm,
butayear or two after wascomrelled to
take back the business, and in 1870
the firm of J. A. Clodfelter & Co. was
formed, .the companv consisting of
S. K. Harrison and (Job P. N. Heilig.
In about 1873 Mr. Harrison retired
from the firm and in January, 1883,
Mr. Clodfelter became sole proprietor
and has since continued the business
Ar. 0. is originally from Davidson
county. When a young man he learn
ed the carpenter trade, and he followed
it and building as an occupation until
sixteen or seventeen years ago, except
during the war. He had enlisted in
August, 1801, as a private in the 10th
Virginia cavalry, and he remained in
the service until the surrender, and
since July, 18G0, Salisbury has been
his home. For several years after en
gaging in the f urlliture trade here, and
until 1883, in fact," Mr. Clodfelter ueed
ip. manufacture a considerable quantity
o goods each j'earr now-a-days he buys
everything. from -the large factories of
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
Cincinnati and other sections, for the
simple reason that he can: buy to bet
ter advantage than he can make. His
trade, while it is retail in its character,
takes in a widesscope of country; the
honsfi 'has customers as far west as
i )! i i i -j
Asheviile and at in teryenmg points, and
rp-iflipii nnf iotr tli" .'idia-Htit. cnnnlips

J i i l' xi xi ,
ritAci - mn fATiimir r Incus t Ii o fi t hmr
prices are somewnat less man tney
were a year ago, and that there has
been and still is a considerable demand
for the better grades of goods. The
house has sold chamber suits as high
as 250 and as low as 20 each, and at
this writing there are some very hand
some sets in stock. Parlor furniture
( such as the house usua 11 y carries )
ranges all the way from $50 upward
per . set, ana tnere arei gooa lines to
select from. Of course there is a full
stock . of cheap and medium . priced
goods m other, words Jur. Clodfelter
naa stprhed the market, thoroughly, and
he offers such goods at such prices as
the community can appreciate. .Un
dertaking is i aiso an important depart
ment, and is very cariully attended to.
The iwo story brick block adjoining
the r irst National I5ank is occupied by
Mr. Clodfelter. It is 76x23 feet, and
the entire premises afford none too
much room.
In ill fairness to the house we may
say that it has ever tried to promote
the interests of its customers. Mr.
Clodfelter has the well earned reputa
tion of being not only a busineess-like
but a very accommodating gentleman,
and we take; pleasure in making some-t
what conspicuous mention of the mer
cantile enterprise, he has so long been
identified with. 1 -

work we abruptly write "finis."
