Soon as the Observer Was Out Telling
of the Action of the Board.
The Observer has long been of the
opinion that Charlotte : needed two
things a new census and a new direc

been discussed on the streets for sev
eral months and the Obskrvkb is glad
to know that both census and directory
are on the way. - "- ' : '
,The city haa' made such a remark
able spurt ' as to population in the past
few years, that it is dne it aa well as
the new comers that thev be repre
sented - in the "numbering of - the
tribes," so :, the. city in general was
pleased yesterday morning when it saw
that the ' board, of aldermen- bad de
cided on a - new census, and that the
work, would begin at once. - ? - 4 . -'
-As soon as the action of the board
was published yesterday morning peo
ple began guessing on the result. The
suburban settlements which are : 1
much a part of Charlotte as is Engle
wood and other sections of Chicago a
part of 1 its manicipality, should be
counted. These settlements are hot
cut off from Charlotte by any division
or line, but' are continuous Snorth,
south, and west of Charlotte.
. Including- these, Charlotte's popula
tion to-day, it is estimated by conserva
tive lnggerers,"ris between 18;000 and
20.000 people. : . . ;" ; ...
; The detail of the census will be ar
ranged by Mayor Weddington. He has
not as yet decided just . how it will be
taken, bet in . conversation with one of
the aldermen a month ago, when the
matter was being discussed, the latter
said he could take the police and have
the census taken in a few days.

mF. John Alexander, oi Provi-
dence, is a noted hunter.and very nearly
as good a fisherman. . Being a little dry,
as all Providence people are, he con
cluded, if the water wouldn't come to
him; to take himself to the water, so
jesierday morning he gathered some of
like mind and feeling as himself, in his
neighborhood, and came by this way to
the river. The crowd brought a lot of
wheat along, taking it to the-roller mills
on the river. The . Providence - party
consisted of Messrs. Alexander, I. P.
Lee, Will Rankin, W. T. Baskins, J.. II.
Barnett, R. Wolfe and W. C. Barnett.
They were joined here by Mr. J. M. Ken

The new system of tuning
and voicing the -
STERLING ORGAN
gives a quality of tone the
equal to which can be found
in no other. The action is
light and very elastic. The
reeds in every part of the
scale are free and respond
to the slightest touch of the
key. The bellows is large
and powerful; the pedals
work so lightly any child
can operate them with ease.
The pedals are covered with
a patent mouse and dust
proof device, a feature more
desirable than any other one
tnmg . except tne tone.
Cases are handsome in de
sign and finish. The prices
are low. Write for cata

WASH ;
-. -will eure sore eyes. , . s- "
fkme years ago a child of one of my
neighbors was suffering, terribly with
sore eyes; toe eyeballs were red, being
very much inflamed, the lids were sore
and. discharged all the ..time. The
child's eyes bad been sore about two
months and there was danger of ervsin-
elas. The discharge was so copious they
finally got so they were closedall ; the
time. : I had so much faith in the virtue
of Mrs. Joe Person's WASH that I per
suaded the mother to use it. . We did
not use the Uemedy as tbe child had no
disease and only needed theexternal sn
llicniiuu-. "nc itcc . use vi loe VTSSrl
made a perfect cure and tbe child has
never.been troubled since. The aDDli-
cation Is altogether painless, belnir verv
soothing and healing-. . -
We have used the Uemedy and Wash
in on-r family for years. We use it for
everything as - a .family medicine. ' I
have never seen, a sore the Wash; would
not : cure "t nd the Rem edy can not be
beaten as s tonio to build one tin when
the system has rnn- down, and it wfll
certainly break -up chills, for I have
used it time and again for ten years and
it tias never raiiea me yet. -
