WARNING.
We wish to caution all users of Simmons
Liver P.egulator on a subject of the deepest
interest and import&noi to their health
perhaps their lives. The sole proprietors,
and makers of Simmons Liver regulator
learn tbat cuBtomers are often deceived by
buying' and taking some medicine of a
similar appearance or ta-ito, believing it to
be Simmons Liver Reulator. We warn
you that unless the word Regulator is on
the package or bottle, that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator. JJo one else makes, or
evor has made Simmons Liver Regulator, or
anything called Simmons Liver Regulator,
but J. if. Zeilin A Co,, and no medicine made
by anyone elsa is the same. Ve alone can
put it up, and we cannot be responsible, i(
other medicines represented as the same do
not help you as you are led to expect they
Will. Bear this fact well in mind, if you have
beea in the habit of using a medicine'which
you supposed to be Simmons Liver Regula
tor, because tha name was somewhat like
it, and the package did not have tbe word
Regulator on it, you have been imposed
Upon and have not been taking Simmons,
tiver Regulator at all. The Regulator hl
been favorably known for many years, and
all who use it know how necessary it is for
fever and Ague. Bilious Fever, Constipa
tion, Headache, Dyspepsia, and all disorders
arising from a Diseadea Liver.
We ask you to look for yourselves, and
see that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
you can readily distinguish by the Red Z
on wrapper, and by our name, is the only
medicine called Simmons Liver Regulator.

A Clo4 Idea.
Dr. Gregory is practical if any
thing. Sunday when the Raleigh
paper arrhed here with tbe heading
"Bmall pox in Greensboro" be was
wrathy and at once wrote to Senator
Scales at Raleigh to introduce a bill,
prohibiting all telegraph operators
from transmitting a message saying
tbere were contagions diseases any-.
where unless a tid telegram was en
dorsed by a health officer.
In this way he contends that exag
gerated reports will not be sent ont,
and be is exactly right. Of course
he does not desire to suppress aut
tbing, but it is a well known msxiui
and truth as well, tbat a lie travels
much faster than the trntb and once
out is bard to counteract. Had such
a law as this been in effect no scare
would have been raised anywhere
about small pox. Not a man so far
as we could ascertain, left here for
tear of taking tb disease, but be
cause of tbe danger of quarantine
No man wsnti to be kept np for 10
or SO days. It is a good idea, this
one of Dr. Gregory's and we hope it
will be made law. Uresnsboro

People a Former Concord Boy ilie
Groom.
Of tbe marriage of Mr. W A Lea
lie, a former Concord boy, which
occurred on Wednesday Lst, tbe
Morganton Herald says:
"There was a quiet bnt pretty
wedding yesterday at 11 a. m., at
the residence of Mr 0 F McKesson.
His daughter, Miss Annie, whose
beauty and accomplishments and
winning manner make her the pride
of Morganton, and Mr. W A Leslie,
n enterprising Morgan'on dro?gist,
who, though having been a resident
of our town only a little over a year,
has won a host of friends on acconnt
of bis many excellent qualities, ere
happily married in the presence of
relatives of the bride and a few
friends of the contracting parties.
Rev. Churchill Satterlee, rector of
Grace Church, Morgantrn, per
formed the beautiful and impressive
marriage ceremony. Miss Florence
Hardin was maid of honor and Mr.
W T Powe was best man. The
ushers were, Messrs. F B Davis, W
F Hunt, R C Pearson, Jr., and
James W Wilson, Jr.
The wedding was announced to
take place at Grace Church at 3.30
p. m., bnt owing to the death on
Tuesday of Mrs. H II Walton, an
aunt of the bride, tbe honr was
changed and the marriage was a
quiet one, at the home of the bride.
The presents were numerous, cost
ly and handsome.
The happy pa!r left immediately
for Asheville, where they took the
vestibule for Norfolk this morning,
passing here about 5 o'clock. The)
will Bpeud several days at the North
and then return to Morgantca to
live.
The young people, just entering
upon holy wedlock, have the be3t
wislK-s of the;r la'ge number of
friends."
Miss Lura Leslie, sister of the
groom, was present at the marriage,
and returned to the city Thursday
night.
Dr. Leslie's many friends here
wish for him and bis bride all the
joys tbat this life may bring.

BAD FOR B. & L. ASSOCIATIONS
A OeclNlon That Sia.le a Wreck ol
Stealthy and "are Inslllntlona.
Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 28. A
receiver wan appointed today for the
Covenant Building and Loan As
sociation of this citv, making t'
seventh one to go under during tue
last ten days. Of the nine buildinp
and loan associations doing busi
ness in this city, there are now onlv
two, and they are doomed to go
within the next few days. Tl e
panio in building and loan associa
tions in this city was caused bv a
decision of the Supreme Court,
wnicn provides tbat where a bor,
rower forfeited his property tbe as
sociation must pay back such sum
as he has paid in. Following this,
hundreds of suits Wore at once be
gun and then the people who had
money invested began to withdraw
it. Applications for withdrawal
came so fast, that money could not
oe obtained to pay on one-third ol
them. Public sentiment was bit
terly opposed to the aHaociations and
tbe result was that they went into
receivers' bands and the seven will
be wound up. The Southern, which
was the second one to fail, ia the
largest in the world and bad stock
holders in every Eastern and Smith
ern State and many in 'the West.
In nearly every instance, the amo
ciations were in perfectly solvent
condition when the receiver wa?
appointed.
Gold miners Coming.
Prospectors representing north' rr
capital, from the Cripple Cu-d; , 3d
California gold mines, are expected
to visit the noted gold bedd of Ca
barrus county within a short while,
from which great results miy ensue.
The gold fields of North and Sonrh
Carolina and Georgia on the Atlan
tic coast are now attracting almost
as much attention and capital ac
ever did California and Coltrado on
tbe Pacific coast. Tbe greatest draw
back to the miners of tLe Atlaut
io coast has been tbe lack of facili
ties for the developments of tlo
mines, which facilities could not be
obtained for the absence of means.
The paity that will visit Cabarrus
will be piloted by Mr. W A Smith,
of this city, who knows every inc1"
of gold mining property in this sec
tion. Verdict ".Vol Gullly "

A MoilNtrOKlly,
The Stanly Enterprise gives the
following account of an infant born
in Stanly connty just across tbe
Rowan line :
"Two weeks ago last Sunday
morning, Dixie McKin!e, a woman
i;ius" me rauroau, gave Dir;n to an
infant a perfect mon6trooiiity. The
woman was frightened by siviog an
elephant when the circus was in this
city ; and the child has a peculiar
trunken shaped nialfonnation pro
truding from just beneaui its nose.
It bas no roof to its mouth and can
not nurse, eating only from a spocn.
The nnhappy mo'her nearly starved
for to weeks, as she concealed the
birth until lastSunday."
We clip this from the Salisbury
World. The Stanijahd several
weeks ago poblished an account of a
similar case in a town wav out in
Ohio.
