SIX POINTS,
out of mauy,
where Doctor
Pierce's Pellets
are better than
other pills:
1. They're the
smallest, and
easiest to take
little, sugar
coated rranules
that every child takes readily.
2. They're perfectly easy in their
action no griping, no disturbance.
3. Their effects last. There's no
reaction afterwards. They regulate or
cleanse the system, according to size
of dose.
4. They're the cheapest, for they're
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your
money is returned. You pay only for
the good you get.
E. Put up in glass are always fresh.
G. They cure Constipation, Indiges
tion, Bilious Attacks, Sick or Bilious
Headaches, and all derangements of the
liver, stomach and bowels.

The Home Paper Injustice to Hon.
ISaltly Williams, Kit'.
August 19th, 1893.
Editor Public Ledger : Save
and except a letter from loved ones,
nothing affords a sojourner in a
strange city more pleasure than a
copy of his home paper. In it we
see all the news from our homes; in
it wb meet again the friends we would
fain shake hands with ; in it we
gather up the items from all over
the county in a condensed form and
a correct account ; in it we rejoice
with the successful, and sympathize
with the afflicted; and in it we see
the neglect of its hard-working edi
tor, and the nou appreciative public.
If anything deserves success it is
a local newspaper. He who conducts
it is in a position of great trust and re
sponsibility, and giying up all else,
throws his heart and soul in the
hardest of the fray and fights alone
for the principle he professes. Every
one should support it, and aid it by
money and good wishes.
Last week there was a communi
cation in the Public Ledger signed
"Brassfield" which did a great injus
tice to at least one party. I refer to
Hon. A. H. A. Williams. He ig
nores the fact that Mr. Williams has
secured as mueh patronage as any
Congressman from his State. He
ignores the fact that all the summer
Mr. Williams has been at his post
vigilant and active, and has taken
advantage of every opening and
placed a good Democrat whei
ever he could. He ignores the fact
that what he has accomplished has
been by sheer force of perseverance,
and that under the disadvantage of
a contested election, in which all the
intimidation, fraud and abuse that
an enemy could invent, was thrown
in his pathway. He ignores the fact
that other sections, all over this
broad land, are clamoring for change
of officers, and in but few instances
have they been changed more than
in the Fifth district. Some Con
gressmen have not had a single ap
pointment as yet save laborers or
messengers aiound the departments,
and only few of them. I will say
here, and nothing can be more true,
that Williams is doing all he can and
as much as any one for his constitu
ents. It is a source of remark that
li is energy is untiring, his efforts un
ceasing, and his labors are rewarded
above the common lot. Courteous
and obliging to all, ho has won his
way in the esteem of his friends here,
and few are so popular as he. And
let me say right here he will be sure
to be the Representative from the
Fifth District of North Carolina in
the 53rd Congress.
Well, money is tight and cannot
be had on the very best security of
any kind. A few days since a friend
could not get the currency on a cer
tified check on a New York bank
which was perfectly solvent. Confi
dence is entirely gone, money is not
in it. Yet a large section of our na
tion is in much worse fix than old
North Carolina. Mines have shut
down, factories closed, crops failed,
and more than 500,000 men are out
of employment in the West and com
ing East. In addition as many more
are out of employment in New York
and New England, and don't know
what to do to obtain the necessaries
of life. We are bad off, but could
be much worse. He who has hog and
hominy is well indeed, and though
he may be deprived of many things
he is accustomed to he can keep the
wolf a long distance from the door.
It is the general impression that
times will brighten in the early win
ter, and leave the country in a more
healthy condition. The history of
our country is that about every 20
years we strike bed rock of misfor
tune and times ease up. So it was
in 1S73. If I am not mistaken Black
Friday, so designated by the misfor
tunes and ruin which happened on
that. day, occurred in 1873. B.

New Orleans, March 30th, 1893. "I
take great pleasure in recommending
your valuable remedy to all sufferers of
neuralgia or sprained back, as I consider
that Pond's Extract has no equal, for it is
worth its weight in gold when properly
used. I have used it in my family these
last fifteen years with so much satisfac
tion that I am never without it at home".

The centennial session of the Flat
River association met at Mt. Zion
Aug. 15, 1893. The introductory
sermon was preached by Rev. R. I.
Devin. The association transacted
its usual business. The following
gentlemen were present and repre
sented their respective institutions:
Dr. C. Durham, corresponding sec
retary state board; W. R. Gwartney,
secretary State board of education;
W. D. Herring and R. T. Bryan,
missionaries to China; J. H. Mills,
superintendent of orphange; Prof,
Royal, Wake Forest; J. C. Caddell,
corresponding editor Biblisal Recor
der; R. VanDeventer, Henderson; J.
F. Love, of Suffolk; Rev. J. G. Bla
lock, Hickory. Rev. R. I. Devin
gave a history of the Flat River as
sociation. J. H, Mills made a very
warm appeal in behalf of the or
phanage and Dr. Durham and others
made very zealous appeals for their
respective causes. There was the
largest crowd on Wednesday that,
your correspondent ever saw at
Berea. It was estimated at any
where between two and three thous
and. The crowd was orderly and
the young people had all the time
for love making they could ask for
as there was no arbor and the house
would not hold more than one-third
of the crowd. The next session of
this association will be held at
Mountain Creek church. After the
Association adjourned they had a
sermon by Rev. W. D. Herring, mis
sionery to China. The church
being destitute of a paster, caused
by the resignation of Rev. C. A.
Jenkins, proceeded to call a preach
er. After one or two short speeches
and as many nominations Rev. J. H,
Lambert, of Greenville, N. C, was
chosen on the first ballot and made
unanimous, after which they ad
journed and all parties sought their
respective homes.
The Richmond Dispatch says :
Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
said not long ago that the existing
panic was ua rich man's panic1'
He would have come nearer to the
mark if he had said that it was a
depositor's panic. All monetary
panics are occasioned by a want of
confidence on the part of the de
positors in the safety and security
of the banks in which their money
is deposited. Their alarm induces
them to withdraw their money
from the banks and hide it away,
where they can at all times lay
their hands upon it, The channels
of commerce are thus deprived of
the currency which is their life
blood.

Their Greetings to their
old Granville County-
Friends.
We haye a few words of comfort
this week for those who have an
interest in what we are doing.
Through all these days of panic
and distressful times, Richmond's
loose sales have been kept going.
Not one whit of interest has been
lost.
Our buyers have stood by us and
been with us and made Richmond
prices almost beyond competition.
The past week we handled over
a hundred hogsheads of old tobacco
for our customers.
Whilst prices are not what we
could wish them to be, yet on new
tobacco some of our friends have
been sufficiently well pleased with
our prices to hurry forward another
shipment upon receipt of their
sales.
IThe purchasing power of one
dollar is about the equal of what
two has ever been before, so they
must think it is about as "broad as
it is long." Our market is ready
and if you are ready let it come.
We can hold it for you and make
you liberal advances. We can sell
it for you at prices the equal of any
other market in the land. . There is
no tobacco under the sun that en
joys greater popularity than the
"Granville Tobacco'" Give your
old friends a trial.
Yours for best prices,
THE DAVIS & GREGORY CO.
