'.The mtrins'e merit of this new cod liver oil preparation, Vinol' said Mr. Duffy is beginning to be realized by the people of New Bern, Of course in my position as druggist, I have seen in numerable medicines and proprietary articles introduced,! but never in my long experience liave I ever lcnown or heard of a medicine that would produce more beneficial results than Vinol. "I attribute this to Jhe fact that Vinol.contains in a concentrated form all the medicinal elements contained in cod liver oil, actually taken from fre3h cods' livers, but without a drop of ojl or grease to nauseate and upset the stomach, and it contains no sickening drugs. "A prominent pnysican writes: -vinoi is the most valuable preparation of cod liver oil known to niedicine. It is of untold value to create strength and build up i $ie general system for old peo ple, weak women &hd children, and it has no equal for hard colds, bronchial and all lung affections " "There are hundreds of people right here in New Bern who can testify that there is nothing equal to Vinol, to make rich, red blood, to increase the appetite, cure stomach troubles, give jtrength and renewed vitality to the aged, build up the run-down, tired and debilitated, make the weak strong, cure chronic, coughs, colds and build up the convalescent. . ' "We freely pffer to return your mon ey in every case where Vinol fails. Try it on this guarantee. F. S. Duffy, Druggist. BAD YEAR IN LOSSES. Last Year's Record In fires. Numerous Conflagrations. Valuable Stocks Destroyed Raleigh, Jan. 13. Insurance Com: missioner James R. Young, in talking with your correspondent, had the fol lowing to say regarding fire insurance or more properly fire losses for the year 1905. "The year 1905 closed with heavy fire tossed; 175,157,800. This is the amount as shown by -the records compiled by the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, and is the largest in any one year except those of the disastrous conflagrations of 1871, 1872 and 4904. There were especially large fires in 1905 and the loss is to be accounted in the unusual number of fires and the increased valuations of stocks destroyed. The losses -in 1904 were $252,364,000 and in 1903, $156; 195,700. The year 1905 had the confla grations of Baltimore and Toronto. The December Josses for 1903 were $15,276,- 600, or over $4,000,000 less than for the same month in 1904. During 1905 there were 3363 fires where the losses reached $10,000 or over, and 16 fires where half a million was Invol ved.or even more than that amount The general wave of prosperity sweeping over the country has so greatly increased the values that the y!ar has been a good one from the underwriting standpoint, notwith standing tho heavy losses." Last Night's Show. The Peruchl-Gyptene Co. closed their week's engagement at the Opera House last night with the production of Ten Nights in a Barrom.

And Give Strength By Unity. A Call For - ' Merchants To Organize. The good merchants of New Bern have resolved that the Merchants Asso ciation shall "mean something. They have fully realized the great good that is being accomplished by the associa tion as a body. No merchant can af- ioru to remain out oi it. we nave a i membership now of near 40, and feel very much encouraged as each one is very enthusiastic. They realize that in "unity there is strength." They know that in a body the merchants of North Carolina can work wonders. To make anything a final success it 're quires the co-operation of all concerned The merchants of New Bern heretofore have worked too much for their indi vidual good, and not enough for the good of the whole. It has been truly said that a ' 'house divided against itself cannot stand." Just so the merchants of this city di vided against themselves cannot stand. But now the majority of them are working in harmony together, and we trust that every other merchant in. our midst will take heed and join the asso ciation at once. There is a national association, made up of State associa tions, and the State associations are made up of local ones, hence all the power and the succes i of the whole de pends upon the local associations, and the one in New Bern must contribute its past. The merchants of North Carolina re member well "the merchants tax" which they in a body got the General Assembly to repeal, and thereby saved themselves last year $73,515.40. This ought to satisfy any reasonable man that the association is a good thing. The associated railways Eought to raise the price on all shipments in less than carload lots which came into North and South Carolina. But again the Merchants Association took tho matter in hand and flooded the country with petitions until it succeeded in getting the order revoked. This was a saving to the merchants of $80,000.00. Trading stamp companies, etc. were growing rich at the expense of the re tail trade, the merchants associations branded them a pernicious, and have eliminated tuch cut-throat schemes from our State. These are only a few of the many ac complishments of the As3aciation. Let every merchant in North Carolina stand by it. The merchants of any town are the controlling power. If the merchants of New Bern say so. our streets will be macadamized, our sidewalks paved, our town properly lighted; street cars in our midst, and everything will be hust ling. So let them stand together in a body, and wield their influence for the good of the town of Gaston. The credit system in New Bern has betn greatly abused. The slow to pay and dishonest owe in this town nbout a h ill n,;i;. ,u .(ii ,i Something must be done, or the merchants will be force into nothii gnees. This association prc poses to make known to its member each individual comprising those clauses and i-Hocially tho "dead beats. Tho "dead beats" have become a nuisance, and the merchants have realized that the man who fails to pro vide for hie own house, is worse than an infidel They would do well to nut this sign up, "In God we trust; other people pay cash." It la an ordinary thing to find three or four bills against the same party in favor of different merchants. They run from one to ton. It looks like dis honesty when a man gets in debt to you, and then goes elsewhere, and v on, until ho has taken In the town. At our next meeting we will read out the name of some of the most promi nent "dead N-ata" in town. "Uoneety is the best pol7." and It Is part of our moraKduty to bring to justice those who refuse to pay their debts. Let the merchants be united in a body and stand together for good. Clerks, carpenters, printers, etc, have their unions, .and unkee the merchant look, to their Interest It H be unpro tected. In a short tme' we hope to rate every tuetome and In to doing the credit eystera will be elevated. . If the merchaaU will eUsd firmly tagther they Can make their own laws and tho bomeoteod and the perentuil pnipert exemptfcio wiU do the diahoD est men no good. .
