Will Have a Jeweler
Several weeks ago The Enter
prise stated that a first-class jew
eler and watch-maker could find no
better location than Mooresville.
The item has had the desired effect.
The Old Man was notified this week
not to do anv more advertising for
such an establishment; that a man
would be here before the leaves fade
again, this indeed is encouraging,
for no town the size of ours can af
ford to be without a watchmaker
and regulator.

number from its throat. The child

A Noble Undertaking
The question of a reformatory for
the youthful criminals of the State
is once more brought, to the front
through the action of the King's
Daughters in State convention at
Haleigh a lew days ago. The
Daughters named a committee to
investigate Rnd plan for the carry
ing out of this idea. May this be
the beginning, the end of which will
be the establishment of such an in
stitution in the State. Surely we
all shall eudorse this movement and
lend a helping hand Unit the noble
undertaking of the King's Daugh
ters may be realized. Concord Tribune.
