Monday night ut Mrs. George klrk's IN
Stanly county, while on his way from Law
renceviIe TO Albemarle, held a meeting at
the apartments of Judge Dick, in Abe'
marie, on Wednesday, the fourth day OF
March, 1876, in honor Of the deceased
HIS Homer Judge Dick beng called to the
Chair, and Thomas ). Ashe appointed Sc

T. ResOlssd, That We esrnot adequately cs
press our surprise and sorrow at the most uneS
pccted death Of our late friend and brother lo'N
GtLes. Esq, and it is Difficult, 10 realize that he
who but during the past week, was partaker ~
our professional laboFs and social intercourse, ap
parently IN improving bodily health sound mlnt
and wonted cIeeriulness--ls now no more.
.. Resoiced, That during useful and labor'
Gus practice Of more than third OF century
Mr.. Giles had uninterrn Ptedly commanded thu
cen fidence Of tho public and the esteem and at
lection Of his professional associates, and that hi
death is deppy regretted a public misfortune

pared and ubllshed new series Of School
Readers, in which their great aim seems
10 have been, TO instruct the moral as well

and well have they succeeded. There is
not, perhaps, now any series of School
Readers so well adapted to prepare the
mind for a proper reception Of the first
books Of Natural History as those Of Gfigg

They also publish, Smiley's Arithmetic,
in dollars and cents, with key, Grim
shaws Histories, of United States, Greece,
Rome, England, France and Napoleon
with keysand questions to ench,-The
