V. B. THAYER.

Manufacturing Jeweller and Deal.
er In Fine Solid Gold Jewelry,
Clocks, Watches, Etc, $40 second
Street.
In our annual report of the prosperity
of our city, we cannot fail to report
upon an establishment that has done
much to advance in a quiet way the
prosperity of the city, the m~anuiactur-
ing jewelry establishment OF V. B.
Thayer, which displays home energy
and enterprise. Mr.. Thayer's manufac-
turing establishment has done much in
the way Of securing for our citizens
homemade %jewelry tqual to any brought
from the Eastern markets. His stock of
materials is always complete and full,
and his workmen men Of taste and skill
in their business. Mr.. Thayer is now
engaged in the manufacture of a new
and beautiful design Of chains. When
we look to the vast use Of fob and neck
chains in our city, and appreciate the
amount expended in the manufacture of
the same, we can readily realize the ad-
vantage of saving that amount to the
benefit of men employed in our "
city. He has lately received a large lot
Of choice ametbysts and canoes for the
manufacture Of sets, earrings, pins and
rings. His stock of precious stones and
gems embrace amethysts, diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, garnets, canoes and
others, so that parties cannot fail to
have their tastes suited in any style of
%jewelry they need. In view of the
above facts we recommend to cur citi.
zens to give Mr.. Thayer a call, and ex-
anime his goods, manufactured at home,
before purchasing elsewhere.

BAPTIZED AND THEN HANeED.-Hills-
man Morgan was convicted at the spring
term, 1877. of the Superior Court of this
county, for the murder of John Crudup, and
was sentenced to be hanged. The case was
afterwards carried before the Supreme
Court of North Carolina. The Supreme
Court finding no error in the trial, the pris-
oner was resentenced by Judge Mickey at
the last term Of the Franklin Superior
Court to be hanged on Friday, Nov. 2, 1877.
He was visited to-day by Rev. G. A. Jen-
kins and Rev. F. Z. Reid, who conversed
with him concerning his spiritual condition
and prayed with him for some time. Dur
ing the conversation he made confession
of his guilt, saying he struck John Crudup
with stick twice upon the head, and hear
ing some one approaching ran. He also
expressed desire to be baptized. He was
then escorted to the river by the Sheriff and
guards, and at 12 m. was immersed by Rev.
G. A. jenkins. At $40 the rope was placed
around the neck by the Sheriff At 3:i9
the trap fell noiselessly, and the soul Of
Hillsman Morgau was launched into eterni-
ty. Ten minutes later the body was taken
down and placed in neat coffin, and viii
probably be- sent to Nash county Tomorrow.
Hillsman Morgan was about 36 years old,
and SO far as we know leaves no relatives
except bis mother. LoMisbsre Courisr
