the CASH merchant and you
have started on the bright
road to economy and wealth.
The ':ash merchant has no
book keeper's salary to pay,
no collector to pull your door

William Flynn was incarcerated here

Flynn snapped what he supposed

effect in the stomach and the negro
died in a few hours. Flynn has a
bad reputation, still it is generally
believed the shooting was not inten

Why does your tobacco take second growth and
cure black ? Because just at the time that it needed
all of its strength to ripen, your cotton guano gave out
in strength. We can point to farmers who have -never
failed to make bright tobacco, they use nothing but
Tinsley's Guano. You had better use one sack of
Tinsley's to the acre than three sacks of cotton goods.
It will give you better results. It is the color that tells
in Tobacco. '

Statesville Landmark : A number
of the colored people of Staicsville
have become impressed with the be
lie! that the end of the world is near.
Some of them have seen unusual
signs in the heavens recently and
many other incidents that tend to
confirm this belief. As a result many
of them are continuing long at prayer
and have their lamps trimmed and
burning, awaiting the summons. One
colored sister, who is very devout on
all occasion, asseverates that she
rose up early one morning recently
in order to have a season of prayer
before beginning the day's duties- and
that while engaged in her devotions
she distinctly heard the word "Pre
pare." This she firmly believes was
a-warning from the other world.
