Blow Your Own Horn!

For nobody else will blow fol
you; besides, our lean, gaunt,
hungry looking editors have got
to be supported, and some one
has got to be humbugged.
LUMPKIN wants to do his part
of it in the next sixty days.
If you don't believe it, call and
price his handmade boots,
clothing, shawls, jeans, hats,
blankets, over-shoes, at prices
lower than ever before offered
In this market. They have got
to be sold,. and at prices that
will humbug somebody; if its
Lumpkin alone. You will lose
a bargain if you don't come
soon. The goods will be sold
ont to make room for a spring
stock. Don't forget that Lump
kin will sell you Furniture
cheaper than any one. Some
will say this is big blowing;
but you come to the blowing.
Lumpkin says it won't cosryou
anything, ama he writes this of
his-own knowledge, too.

n The Fayetteville Wooler
Mills ceased work for repairs, Oh
Friday last. With some altera-
tons, we are told, the amount of
work done can be considerably
increased with the power now
used. The goods manufactured
have become very popular because
of their superior quality, and or
ders have, in consequence, by
their freq uency and magnitude
forced the Mills to their utmost
capacity, and the demand con
.ues to grow. With Capt. Cross
in the Office and Mr.. Geo. As
qu.th as superintendent, the Mills
couldn't help but prosper. They
are, emphatically, the fright men
in the right places" Work will
be resumed about the first or mid

to have ever passed through a

drizzly, rheumatic weather,
with very light rain falls have
been the rule. Elk river has

it has rarely been down. E.

From Acute TO Chronic

Is au easy stage in cases OF dyspepsia.
A slight attack of indigestion, especially
when there is a predisposition to digestive
weakness of the stomach, must speedily
eliminate in the more obstinate form of the
disease. 1t is WE'LL therefore, to adopt pre-
ventive measures early. Although Hos
letters Stomach Bitters overcomes, if per
sisted in, cases of dyspepsia of long stand
ing, it is obviously the part of wisdom to
use it ere the malady assumes chronic
phase. This is particularly true, because
as dyspepsia advances, it engender other
bodily evils, such as disorder of the liver,
constipation or undue loOsene3s of the
bowels, nervous disorders, hypochondria,
These maladies are both pre-
vented and remedied by the Bitters but
how much better TO check them in their
outset with the great Alternative, than to wait
until they established a firmer foothold in
the system. Surely the Instability of this
must be apparent.

What Voices Indicate.

There are light, quick, surface voices
that inyoluntarily seem to utter slang,
| won't do to tie to-" The mans words
may assure you of his strength Of pur-
pose and reliability, yet his tone contra
diets his speech.
Then there are low, deep, strong
voices, where the words seem ground
out, as if the man owed humanity a
grudge, and meant to pay 1t some day.
That mans opponents may well tremble,
and his friends may trust his strength of
purpose and ability to act.
There Is the coarse, boisterous, dicta-
torial tone, invariably adopted by vulgar
persons, who have not sufficient cultiya-
tien to understand their own insigniti-
canoe.
There is the incredulous tone, that is
full of a covert sheer, or a secret " You
can't-dupe-me-sir information.
Then there is the whining, beseeching
voice, that says sycophant " as plainly
as if uttered the word. 1t cajoles and
fatters you; its words say g love you
i admire you; you are everything that
you should be-"
Then there is the tender, musical,
compassionate voice, that sometimes goes
with sharp features Gas they indicate
merely intensity of feeling) and some
times with blunt features, but always
with genuine benevolence.
If you are full of afectation and pre-
tence, your voice proclalms Il.
If you are full of honesty, strength
and purpose, your voice proclaims it.
If you are cold and calm and firm and
consistent, or tickle and foolish and de
ceptious, your voice will be equally
truth-telling.
Your cannot change your voice from
anatural to an unnatural tone without
its being known that you are doing so.
