Provisional Governor of North Carolina. , We suppose this document is merely preliminary to more definite rules and regulations to be promulgated hereafter. The day of election or the day -for the meet ing of the Convention has not yet been appointed. Inasmuch as the Governor announces that there are no civil magistrates or States officers of any kind in North Carolina, the work of 'reconstruction' will be tedi ous. It is the duty of every citizen of the State to study carefully the Proclamation of the Governor and the two Proclamations of President Johnson, (which we keep standing in our columns for public intona lion.) and inform himself thoroughly as to their requirements. To arrive at a correct understanding, all three documents should be read and e amined." Among the advertisements ia the Democrat at that day were: J. T Butler, watchmaker and ieweler; E.

WE congratulate our customers and friends upon the return of the"l genial Spring Season, It is always a pleaaut relief to exchance the heavier ' and more sombre apparel of winter for the lighter, and never has fashion . set her seal upon goods for the season so attractive and tasteful as they are " at the present time. The very best advertisement of our goods would be tbe goods themselves, could they be sent around for general inspection. As wis is impossible we fall back on the faithful types to assist as to describe in some measure the chief feature of our Spring Stock. By way of preliminary we may say that we have brought our long business ezpe- -rienoe and knowledge of local tastes, to the selection of the goods we oiler and with a result which we hope will le a gratifying to our customers . - 1 tm . r . 1. - 11.. 1 J .t.-. :- .

In every department Our stock will be found to be complete; nothing having been neglected ia our -effort to make it the most complete assortment of goods ever offered to the trading public ol this locality. In making our selection we have realised ; thatto the quality of the goods sold must look.. for lieimUding tip of that confidence between buyer and seller so essential to a commercial sue cess and permanence. Our customers will find that in respect to quality our stock has no superior, if any rival, our policy being to sacrifice a margin , of our profits rather than sacrifice the confidence of our customers ia the ; goods we selL 'Some rather unusual opportunities have been offered to watcblul buyers to secure bargains in some ot tne aesiraDie stanaara unes. These we have taken advantage of and customers will find that our prices are unusually low, relative to the value ol the goods we offer. We aim , to satisfy all classes of buyers, and our stock therefore includes the variety of grades which have correspondingly varied prices. We desire to be known for cheapness, but we handle no cheap goods, that is to say, we give even in low price grades the very best article the market affords for the money. It is a shortsighted policy for any merchant to make a repu tation for low priced goods at the expense of his reputation for values. No article is really CHEAP which will not return tbe buyer the full value of the money expended in its purchase. Our steady aim is to satisfy buyers, not only by alluring bargain, but by tbe satisfaction that comes in goods that wear and stand the test of actual use. In the matter ol Novelties we think our stock will leave nothing to be desired. By being early in the market we secured tbe early choice of styles snd patterns which always gives the buyer the advantage of picking up such seasonable novelties as are soon exhausted, if they prove desirable to purchasers. We commend to our customers our own method, that of early selection, as it follows in cases that the patterns which are most fancied are the soonest exhausted. We sneak with conviction when we sav that we do not think any previous season has seen a more invitixg display of goods than those to which we direct attention and of which we invite your inspection. And we are sure that it will be a matter of general surprise and coogratulatioa among buy ers that we are able to offer so large a choice, and such excellent qual.ty tor prices that are remarkable for their moderation.
