Some Facts for the Consider
ation .of the People !
Everybody who baa goods to sell
teU* the public, by word or advertise
ment, that be sells lower than hia
neighbors. The public is used (o it,
ana has formed its own conclusions.
Often these flaming advertisements
have only the effect of producing a
smile. They hare lost their wonted
effect, because they have appeared so
often, time and again, that they are
now rather Btale. Besides, the public
has discovered that there is not a Dry
Goods Honse in the city which sells
as low, or ia as reliable as Marcos
Cline's. Cheap Dry Goods, Clothing,
Boots, Shoes, Bats, Groceries. Plants*
tion Supplies, Baggies, Phaetons,
Wagons, and in fact hundreds of ar
ticles too numerous to mention. I
have never used any devices to allure
the public to my store. True, I have
used printer’s ink quite freely, but
have never promised anything which
1 did not fnlflll. An advertisement
of such a nature builds up a man’s
business, and if it is not of that char
acter, it baa the contrary effect. Fill
ly aware of this. I have been very
cautions to avoid it. All I have ever 1
asked of the public was to examine
my Goods ana prices, and i was sure
that if I could induce visitors I would
make customers of them: for anyone
who ia a judge cannot fail to see how
much lower 1 sell my goods than oth
er homes do. In reality, the public
has appreciated mv efforts to such an
extent that it was impossible for me
to continue business with the force 1
. had, and had to employ two more
salesmen to accommodate the crowds
Now, I put the rjucs-

Mr. C. W. Arnold has purchased

to see a handsome residence eroded

A DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
Seven Capsules of Morphine.
•C* ——
From Prof. A. T. Lyon, who came
in from Ijcury on Tuesday morning,
we learn that a colored boy named
llcck, porter in Hie store of Mr. P. E.
Boyd, of I hat village made a most
dangerous iniHlukc on Monday night
which came near ending his life.
licck had been suffering with fever
for some lime, and on Monday lie en
tered the store anil said, “1 am going
to break this I'cver if it takes all the
quinine in Leary to do it.” Then go
ing lo the shelf lie took down a box
containing what lie supposed to he
quinine, filled seven capsules and
swallowed them down. A stupor soon
came over him, anil upon examina
tion liy some one connected with the
store il was al once discovered that
Beck hail taken morphine, instead of
quinine. A physician was called ill
Mid proceeded immediately to work
on the unfortunate man. Beck was
made to walk all night and thus kept
xwuke until lie could lie relieved from
tlie stupor. The morphine was thus
removed and Beck is heller, lint con
siderably weakened.
This is another lesson. Be careful
how you handle medicine.

Tile Best Made.
Capt. J. G. Stephens advertises in
the News the celebrated New Davis
Sewing Machine, which is pronounc
ed by experts the very best machine
ever invented. Among many other
advantages possessed by the Davis
Machine, it prevents fulling or gath
ering of goods, will sew over thick
seams, or from one thickness to anoth
er, without change of stitch or ten
sion, and makes the most elastic, du
rable and uniform lock stitch of any
machine before the public.
It is without a rival in simplicity,
strength and durability.
The machine cannot be put out of
time by use, does not have “fits” or
“spellsis the easiest machine to sell
and learn to use; the surest to give
the customer satisfaction.
Captain Stephens has a lot of these
machines on hand which he is ready
to show to all who may desire to ex
amine. Prices are very low, and the
ladies should purchase no other than
the Davis until they have seen it.
