IF you once wear an EImwood col

ing any other.
A kevengsiuI organ.
The stomach is a revengeful organ.
If we assiga it indigestible food, it not
inf lcts upon us unspeakable tortures,
| such as those of indigestion. collie,
cholera morbus, &c. Not content with
giving us pain. it frequently 1naugur,
ates an excessive and wasting dlarr-
nBa, called dysentery, which carries
us to our graves. With a view to pre-
vert these consequences, as soon as
the stomach gives notice by premoni,
tory twinges that it's cargo is not tC
its liking, a wineglassful or two OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters should be
swallowed. This admirable digestive
cordial will promptly reconcile the
refractory organ to its contents, and
prevent any of those annoying anC
possibly fatal results which the pres
ence of indigestible food in the stom
ach is liable to produce. The Bitters
are also IL superb tonic, restorative anG
appetizer.
| Convention Nomination In OnsIO "
JACKSONVILLE, July 9Th, 1875.
| Dear Journal
| In pursuance of a call of the Legis
lature of North Carolina, a large and
enthusiastic crowd assembled here to
| day for the purpose of nominating +
suitable person to represent OnsloW
in the Constitutional Convention to be
held in September next.
J. w. Shackleford was called to the
| chair. He explained, in a few very
appropriate remarks, the object of the
meeting.
After several preliminary motions
had been satisfactorily disposed Of
and the several districts found repre-
sented by delegates appointed by the
several township meetings, the Chair
| man announced to the Convention that
nominations were then in order. The
Convention then proceeded to make a
| choice and Hon. James G. Scott was
chosen. His nomination was after
| teru ards made unanimous by the re-
spective delegations from the several
tJwnships.
A committee was then appoited to
| wait on and inform the gentleman of
his nomination. He soon appeared,
and after thanking the Convention for
the honor thus done him. favored the
| meeting with a short, but pointed
speech in his own happy and lucid
style. Nothing need be said here OF
the ability of our nominee. He is too
we'll known to require any comment
from our hands, and we'll may Onslow
feel proud of the nomination.
There will be, if any, a very feeble
opposition, for Onslow is all right.
The whole proceedings were attend
ed with harmony and good order.
ResOIred, That the proceedings be
published in the Wilmington JOURNAL,
Morning Star and Duplin Record.

COMRADES
In response to what seems to be a
| very general desire on your part, l in
vite you to assemble in the city OF
Wilmington, N. c., on the morning OF
second day of the Agricultural Fair
for a social reunion.
Ten years have elapsed since the
| flag and the cause we loved, went
down in blood, and we parted in sad.
ness. We did not then surrender our
right to live in history, when we laid
down our arms to overwhelming num-
bers. When we swore allegiance to
the Federal Government, we did not
forswear all the hallowed memories of
heroic association, nor our ceaseless
love for those who died in the defence
of selfgOvernment by the States.
Being true men, our oath to sup
port the amended Constitution of the
United States, with the old flag, will
be kept inviolate; and it will only
make us better men and better citl-
zens to mingle together once more
