THE CAPTAIN TURNEDPRIAcHER

TIE CAPTAIN TURNED PREACHER
A lady, who was actively engaged in the
distribution of the Holy Scriptures and re-
ligious tracts, went on one occasion to the
quarry at Plymouth, and requested permits
sion of a captain to go on board.a man OF
war, in which were about eight hundred
men, and d~issipated females. The captain
said
Madam, it willb of no avail j; you will
only meet with abuse
She answered with your leave, I will
CO.
Certainly, madam he replied and she
went. Something occurring during the time
which irritated the captain, who swore a
most dreadful oath ; the lady said
Sir, as you have granted me one favor,
l hope you will confer another
Certainly, madam was the reply.
1T is then, sir, that you will please tc
keep from swearing while | ann on your
ship J this he complied with. A~Ses44e4 Ia

u Lougee's,n five doors below Williams. Hay-
wood & Co.'S Drug Store, has recently returned
from the Northern Cities, purchased and has
received a large and(all say well selected as
sortment of goods in his line which(from the
universally acknowledged reputation of the es-
tablishment) he deems it entirely unnecessary
10 enumeraie but will simply say his assort-
ment comprises every article belonging 10 the
wardrobe Of a gentleman.
In addition to his complete stock of unman
ufactured goods, he has a fine assortment of
READY MADE CLOTHING of his own and foreion
manufature-all of which he would be pleased
10 exhibit free of charge.
With sincere thanks to the patrons Of the old
firm, and Of their SUCCESSOR he assures them no
effort or pains shall be spared to give them entire
satisfaction.
Gentlemen who are disposed 10 patronize the
North, in preference to those who surround their
own hearth stone, he particularly solicits to give
him a call. If he does not give them as good OF
better fitting garments than they can obtain at
questionable establishment at the North, then
he is 'mum'
Mr. G. l.. Gould, the talented pupil Of Mr..
OLIVER, is still with him, and his success as a
cutter is rarely ~equalIed, never excelled. .
Mr. P. gives his attention to the Pantaloons
and Vest departments. They speak for them
selves.
Gentlemen furnishing their own goods may
rely upon their receiving equal attention with
those purchased of the Emporium
Cutting done at all times at reasonable PM
ces.
In conclusion he will say, although the Bugg
has left him he retains his varied departments,
and genuine chronological skill.

AGRICULTURAL
North Carolina Farmer Journal.

The August No. of this highly valuable
Periodical, is on u table, fully sustaining
its reputation as an Agricultural Journal
We regret to see that the Editor has to con-
tinue his appeals to the public for support
Surely our people, waking up as they are to
the great Agricultural interests of the State,
will not suffer the only farmers Journal in
our borders to die for want of support
Read the following, and then send 81 to DR.
John + Tompkins, Bath, n. c., and secure
the Journal for a year:
Our PAPER-SHALL IT LIvE?-We havC
made two appeals to the farmers of our State
which We regret to say, have passed by un
needed /; we have urged them to our rescue
and let US live on more than a year. w
now make another appeal to our subscribers
and the last of them. We make this appea
to them for the reason that they have seel
to some extent the great good which W,
have already done and can do if we are prop
erly sustained. We urge every subscribe
to lend US his aid-let each one who take
the farmers Journal, go at once among hi
~neighbors and get us subscribers and send il
their names, with SIS. and we shall at one
be on safe ground. We make this appca
to you as our friends and the friends of Ag
ricultural Improvement. This is but a smaI
task in comparison to what we are doing fo
the farming interest of our State. We hav
Eleh our home time after time, and have gone
up to this time, int 90 counties, and if "
meet with that encouragement which we Dc
serve, we shall canvass the entire State i
six months more. This is all that We sha
say-indeed we have said enough-if til
farmers wish us to continue, just speak OF
at once.
