Peace and Good Will.
Did you ever stop to think
that our city is a city that enjoys
many natural and acquired re
sources—a city that needs but
the skillful manipulation of man
to make them yield bountifully
of their rich treasure—a sub
stantial city whose foundations
are laid upon a soil that cannot
be surpassed for productiveness
—a city supplied with the very
best and purest of water—a city
whose educational advantages
have reached a standard through
the skillful direction of compet
ent officials, second to that of no
other place of its size anywhere
—a city where harmony among
the communicants of the differ
ent churches is in perfect accord
with the object sought by our
forefathers of the "Mayflower"
and all doctrines are ably ex
pended with untrammeled free
dom from the pulpits of our dif
ferent churches —a city whose
social advantages are equal to
those afforded by places many
times its size and age —a city
where the rich enjoy every lux
ury desired and the poor are not
allowed to suffer—a city where
peace and good will towards all
men is exemplified.
Speak Out.
Don't be afraid to speak a
word for the newspaper and
your town.
If you have made up your
mind to live in town, then stand
up for it, and if you know posi
tively no good, the silence is
is golden. -Do all you can to
help along every man who is en
gaged in legitimate business.
Do not send away for everything
nice you want and still expect
the home men to keep a stock to
suit the whim of one or two
customers. The success of your
fellow townsman will be your
success. No man liveth to him
self and no man does business
independently of his fellow busi
ness men. Take your home
paper. Do not imagine the big
dailies fill up all this space.
There are many little crevices of 1
a good cheer, social sunshine,
personal mention, in the home
paper chat the big dailies donot
print. Then do not abuse your
neighbor. The main difference
in the number of his faults and
your own is that you see through
a magnifying glass as a critic.
The ill omened, the croaker, can
do a town more harm in a minute
than two good citizens can re
pair in a month.
The Democrat is $1 a year.
Patronize Home.
A perfect town is that in which
you see the farmer patronizing
the home merchants, the labor
ers spending the money they
earn with their own tradesmen,
and all animated by a spirit that
will not purchase articles abroad
if they can be bought at home.
The spirit of reciprocity between
man and the mechanic, trades
man and laborer, farmer and
manufacturer, results every
time in making the town a per
fect one to do business in. "Per
fection" should always be de
sired, even where attainment is
barely possible, we presume,
but a perfect town must be de
nominated a great rarity until
we reach a more advanced stage
toward the millennium than has
yet been gained.
Hospitality.
Our town is noted far and
wide for its hospitality and cord
iality. Man meets his fellows
here with a "Good morning
James; how are you feeling this
morning?" While the answer
i J wafted back on the morning
breeze: "-Quite well, I thank
you!" The good women, as
they toil during the greater part
of they the dav in looking after
the domestic duties, hum a mer
ry tune the while, because "love
lightens labor." And over their
teacups at an afternoon function
or around some family circle,
banded together as a club, they
discuss topics al«ne intended to
elevate their race.
I. N. Ebbs Disbarred.
The I. N. Ebbs disbarment
hearing was resumed before
Judge Peebles in Superior Court
at Asheville, last Thursday at
3 o'clock, when Judge Thomas A.
Jones, representing the persecu
tion, was heard in reply to the
argument of Joseph S. Adams, of
counsel for the defense. After
hearing Judge Jones, who cited
numerous authorities, Judge
Peebles made an order disbara
ing Mr. Ebbs under the statue
from the practice of law in the
courts pf North Carolina.

Our family were all born and raised
in lowa, and have used Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy

El Paso, Texas the writer's life was
saved by the prompt use of this remedy
We are now engaged in the mercan
tile business at Narcoossee Fla., and
have introduced the remedy here. It
has proven very successful and is con

NO HUMBUG.
No humbug claims have to be made
for Foley's Honey and Tar, the well
known remedy for coughs, colds and
lung troubles. The fact that more bot
tles of Foley's Honey and Tar are us
ed than of any other cough remedy is
the best testimonial of its great merit.
Why shen risk taking some unknown
preparation when Folep's Honey and
Tar costs you no more and is safe and
sure. Sold by W. S. Martin & Co.

The Merry Widow Circular-
Saw.
The man who ha'd the seat next
hers —
Why when she moved her head
She sawed along his shaven cheek
A scratch that showed blood red.
The woman on the other side,
With anger she turned pale
When she perceived her neigh
bor had
Made tatters of a veil.
She left the car, that girl, and
scratched
Th#» varnish off the door,
And lace cravats and frally-dals
On every side she tore.
But naught- cared she. Why
should she stop
For. little things like that?
She tripped off, smiling gaily in
Her Merry Widow Hat.
THINKS IT SAVED H{S UFE.
Lester M. Nelson, of Naples Maine,
says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr.
King's New Discovery many years, for
coughs and colds, and I think it saved
my life. I have found it a reliable rem
edy for throat and lung complaints, and
would no more be without a bottle than.
I would be without food " For nearly
forty years New Discovery has stood at
the head of throat and lung remedies.

healer of weak lungs it has no equal
