At Davidson Court there was a
heavy docket. The Charlotte C6ycrgcr
says: Thirty two prisoners were n
jail, and OF these ten have been sent to
the p~cnitentiary. The trial OF Barber
for killing his brother in-law, Hayden.
was to have been commenced yestcr-
day. The bill is for manslaughter,
and the defendant is now out on bail.
Nat Boyden's cases occupied all Of last
Friday. Messrs. Clement, Everett AID
Watson & Glenn appear fer Pearson.
and Messrs. Bailey q NcColkle for
Boyden. Some startling evidence was
introduced 10y the defendant. which
was d surprise to the plaintiff, and he
was granted Il continuance to Salisbury,
the case to lie called there on the 2Ith
inst.-Alek Burton, the negro whose
skull was broken In the aflray ut the
colored dance Friday night, was still
living yesterday, but is unconscious.
He is fed with milk, which is poured
down his throat, and in this way life
is sustained. News was received in
this city yesterday of the death OF Mr..
James Wright, 4 well known and high
ly esteemed citizen Of CASTOR, which
occurred at his residence yesterday
morning. He was about 20 years old.
THE Hornets Nest Rifles and enc

Columbia celebration last week. The

the city that Sherman burnt.
A desperate was hung by the mob
in Nebraska Monday for practicing
with his revolver on a useful citizen.
As he was attached to the limb Of a
monarch oak he politely raised his hat
and said, Good bye, gentlemen"
and then kicking the ladder from be
meath, entered gracefully into eternity.
The mob were SO much gratilied that
he made $50 good IN end on it." they
gave him Il p0st-mortual salute with
their revolvers. How many Of this
mob will die with their boots on and
in the same way for like crimes, the
future historian must relate.
Some rascal has burnt portions of
the county fence Of Iredell. The Char

between the Salisbury road aud
Amity Hill, destroying in all about a
thousand panels OF the fence. The
man had been tracked across KnoXs
but at last accounts had not
been caught, as it is much to be hoped
lc soon will hc.

orders were drawn for bills passed,
amounting to within a fraction Of 49,

that there are unpaid orders passed at

would run the aggregate up to ,s4, 500;

Quoted from the amount in bank which

!AdyerIising.

There are many persons who start II
business and expect to trudge along and
become successful without advertising.
Such persons though having both eyes
open are certainly not clear sighted.
1t requires but look around to see
that those who are most successful in
business generally are those who ad-
vertise the most, and who advertise ju-
diciously. To attempt to build up a
successful trade by the old-time passive
plan is almost out Of the question now,
for the people have become accustomed
to look into the newspapers for infor.
nation as to the places where goods
can be obtained OF the best quality and
the cheapest. Although it does not by
any means follow that those who do not
advertise refrain because they have
nothing special to offer in the way Of
bargains, yet suck is the inference
drawn by many purchasers. Adver-
tisement writing has become fine art.
Many of the advertisements of the day
furnish pleasant reading, especially
when the prices Of goods are annexed,
and those prices are low. Such are the
observations Of the Philadelphia "Stsr,'
which goes on to say that the most sue
cessful dealers now are those who per.
sistently keep themselves before the
people. "if," they argue, Zone adver-
tissmsnt helps business somewhat,
great many will help it still more, hence
We will keep it up during the seseon. u
That there is philosophy in that kind
Of reasoning seems clear. 1t is = fact
that in all our cities the most success
ful merchants, the men whose names
are most identified with these cities, are
the men who advertise inoessantly and
largely in the popular paper Of the day
and by the way it has been ascertained
that there is no cheaper mode of advsr.
tising, nor one that brings in . greater
remuneration than advertising in the
home papers for retail trade and in
papers all oyer the country for whole
sale trade.
