I 'J'he Junior returns thanks for a
most delightful serenade last Friday
night. It was a voIin and guitar,
and the iruisic was indeed sweet.
it was night, a soft stUl night in
i ths month of May. wlien all was
, calm and .still, with naught to be
heard but the voice of nature’s my
riad insects. In the lu.xtirious par
lor of one of our affluent citizens
were seated tw( inaiciens just bud
ding into wcmanhooil. i'hey were
the picture of health and innocence,
in whose young heart there was no
guile. They were strangers to the
sorrows and troubles of this world.
Tlie future was bright and beautiful
to them, buddenly the oldest starts
from her recumbant [)Osition and
sighs a sigh, her bosom heaves a
heave aiid her eyes sparkle a spark
and she writhes her form as in great
pain. A cry escapes her lips as she
e.K lainis ;—For Heaven’s sake
Mariar, get np and s(*rafch my
back.”
Cooper iV Williams are offering-
some of the greatest bargains in Dry
(ioods cveV offered in North ('aroli-
na.
Opiates.—I'here are a great ma
ny ])eople who suffer a great deal
because they cannot sleep, and there
fore, are continually taking some
opiate, and keep it up until the last
stage is worst than the first. We re
commend to such persons two or
three raw onions, instead of the oi^i-
ate, anfl if it does not iiave the de
sired effect then you may sav we
don't know anything about it. W'o
do not mean this for the ladies, as
we know their aversion to this \eget -
able.
, lo i'HF. Pi’Bijc.—We desire the
jjublic to kno.v (hat il we cease ])ub-
lishihlng the Cj.aiiion on the lotli
ot June it will not be because we can
not run it, but because it does not
pay, and we cannot afford to devote
allot our spare time and money to
run a paj)er in the interest of a party
who will not support us. Most every
one speak in glowing terms of the
Ci.AKiox, and say, with energy “go
it boys” and that is the last of il. We
have no doubt we could do a great
deal, in the approaching campaign,
that would materiilly benefit the
Democratic party in this county, but
we cannot afford to sacrifice time,
health and money to doit. If vou
want our assistance come forward
like men and helj) us, or forever,
hereafter, hold your peace.
