A Strong Argument.

Oar is no disease" exclaimed a
colored orator, dat am hat so bad as
incompetence. liam de basis of all
phizikcl ills and de source of all
wlckedness." Our colored brother Is
right in both cases, but we especially
desire to expatiate upon his remarks
regarding the first. The man who
drinks must pay for it morally, phys
ically and financially. He may be
able to stand the drain upon his NOR
ais and finances, but physically he
cannot. Dyspepsia, liver and kidney
troubles, costiveness, sick headache,
and many other affections will beset
him, and unless he takes Swayne's
Pills, he may degenerate into a chron-
ic invalid

replied, that it was by fair and impartial deal
ing in all his business transactions; by adverts-

tised, and by not asking too much for any arti-
Gle in his stock, also by giving the customer any
advantage he might, by careful buying for
spot cash. In other words should little child
step in to buy he would deal as fairly as
though the highest and loftiest person were
purchasing.
