The popularity of diaries down town is
increasing every day, and the gay and fes-
tive patrons of these lunch rooms remain
blissfully ignorant of the inside workings of
these Institutions The waters are usually
young women, and these pretty dairymaids
have easy time of it after all As rule
they command good salaries In dairy a
maids face is her fortune, and the attend
ants are divided into three classes 'Stars"
are the very pretty girls, seconds the pass
ably pretty ones, and thirds the maidens
whom nature has endowed with sweet TEN
pers but homely faces The proprietor of a
prosperous down town restaurant of the
dairy type, during a confidential chat with a
reporter the other day, made known some
inside facts about his business of which the
public has for years remained in ignorance.
lit Is very difficult to secure the services
of very pretty young ladies, said he, and,
of course, they command good salaries.
Every dairy has two or three stars that are
handsome attendants and they rarely work
more than three hours a day As for salary.
they command about SIS week, and have
known darymen to pay as high rs So to a
star dairymaid. These fortunate beings
commence their duties about IL O'Clock in
the morning and finish as sson as the rush is
over, about 2:30 or 3 O'Clock. You go into a
dairy late in the afternoon and you won't
see any of tho very pretty girls, but at
lunch time they are always on hand Ordi-
narily dairynaids get from s. to 50 n
week according to their qualifications. Some
of them are very jealous of the stars and do
all sorts of womanly things to make their
lives unhappy, but, bless you, the pretty
girls don't mind little things like that For
young women who have to provide for them
selves the dairy is good place, and many
prefer working as dairymaids to manipulat-
ing types. They get fairly good salaries and
the work is comparatively easy.-New York

There are n great many stylish steppers

What is this nervous trouble" with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our forefathers
in times past. SO it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
appreciate cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures are marvellous.

I Hardly mouth passes but we read of ter
l rible explosions, aud loss OF life frou
natural gas.
One writer has raked up Chinese history,
whereia. il appears, that away back in the
time When the famous Chinese wall was
building. before the use of gas wells was
discovered, terrible explosion took place.
/ The big wells in some way got the start OF
{ tile little ones. SO that enormous volumes OF
ar were sucked down into those suoterra-
mean ma gaziues. When the sir reached GER
I tsin proportions. the whole thing went on
/ ike leaky gasoline stove. The result was
horrible in the destruction of lives. The
same writer predicts similar conditions un-
deriving the great natural gas belt of this
country, from Toledo. through Ohio, lndi-
ana and kentucky, whereby that whole vast
region might be ripped up TO the depth of
1900 feet leaving a chasm for the waters OF
the great lakes to pour down into, blotting
ont every human being in this now deHsely
populated valley from the face of the earth.
I That writer might easily have shown further,
that throughout our whole country not only
in densely populated regions and cities, but
in country and village houses as well, natu-
raj gases far more dangerous than is found
in the lake regions, are carrying of not only
.'pig -tail" Cinnamon, but our own families
and friends, during the hot waves of July
and August.
Scores of people are dying daily from
typhoid fever, diarrhea, dysentery. cholera
morbus, and infant summer complaints; all
caused by poisonous gases and ferments, faI
worse than hydrogen gas or dynamite in theil
explosions. Fortunately this latter danger
can all be averted. by the use of a simple
old fashioned remedy, Johnsons Anodynt
Liniment, used internally, as explained in d

Grace Church.

1t has been some time since this
paper has had much to say about
Grace Church. 1t was thought that
as it was over a year old it might
be able to take care of itself; but
word of encouragement will not
hurt it now. This church is situated
in part of the city convenient to
many Zion Methodists and will prove
a great convenience in that particular
in bad weather. 1t Is the only Meth
odist Church in ward 2, where many
of the colored people live. The
Church is situated in the eastern part
of the city on B. Street, one and a
half squares from the street car line.
1t is well designed and neatly fin
ished up house and will comfortably
accommodate a good congregation.
1t needs to have, as it has been
blessed with, an energetic. intelligent
and progressive pastor. The men,
bers of this society are progressive,
being made up mainly of intelligent
young people.
The church has the sympathy of the
good people of Charlotte as we'll as
the Bishops and the Conference. 1t
deserves and should have the encour-
agement of all. The church has done
nobly since its organization. 1t has
raised as much money for building
and general purposes as any in the
connection, in proportion to its mem
bership.
While it has heavy load upon it
to carry just now, fit has a favorable
report from the annual conference
which it reasonably expects, it will
branch out into new church work and
lead the way in building up the church
enterprises and help the people at the
same time.
This Church is branch of the great
Zion Methodist connection. Visitors
in the city and all people are invited
aud cordially welcomed. Why should
not all of Gods workers be charitable
and help to bear each others burden :?
Each individual member of this
Church should attend service at his
church once a day at least and take
some friend out with him. The church
must continue to grow. Is it not the
duty of these people to go into the
hedges and highways and bring them
in! There are many who want to
join this society? Let them come in ;
let the members encourage them to
come.

the moral and material condition of
our people as we'll as the mental.
The Bishop was himself slave,
but always an honest, hard working
man. He paid fourteen hundred
dollars for himself, finishing during
the war. He has since reared a large
family of children, owns eight
hundred and fifty (s5O) acres of land,
eight or ten head horses and mules
and other stock, has his own gin, &c. ,
planted this year ITO acres of cotton
and makes his own corn, bacon, &c.
He is not only good preacher and
executive officer, but good farmer
and general manager. He was
born and raised in Fayetteville
and in boyhood was most intimate
friend and associate of Bishop Lomax.
Can't any free boy of to-day do as
well as this once poor slave boy?

The Difference.

The difference between a dog AID a
tree is that one barks and bites and the
other barks and leaves.
The difference between a monastery
and nunnery is that one has monks and
the other has nun.
The difference between real pain and
champagne is that one means headache
to-day and the other means headache
tomorrow.
The difference between Mercury and
good medicine is that the medicine bears
healing in its wings and Mercury bears
wings on his heels.
The difference between drayman and
a popular actor is that one hauls stuff
and the other stufTs halls. -Dancsle

The County Ticket.

The County ticket put out by the
Republicans some time ago, seems to
take well with the people of the
County. 1t is made up of good men
and, it is believed, will be elected.
Mr.. r. Il. Mcdonald, the candidate
foi the Senate, is good farmer. well
informed upon the questions of the
day, and is first rate gentleman.
He is n good speaker, and on the
tariff, county government and all the
questions of interest, he is at home.
Mr.. j. NJ Creighton is well known
in the city and county as one of our
best citizens and old line Republicans.
Mr. Davis and Mr. Hinson are farm
ers and understand the needs of the
laboring people, and will care for the
interest of all classes in the Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Dulin is a farmer and if elected
will make a good sheriff. He will
not only carry the votes of his own
party, but many democrats ia all
parts Of the county will vote for him.
Mr. Barker. the nominee for Reg
lister of Deeds, is another hardy son Of
toll, having been brought up in the
corn field. blowing an OK. He asks
the people to do Mr.. Cobb a favor
by allowing the latter to be relieved
from the court house at least two
years after having been there sixteen

This will save the girls much time
and labor. No more Juggling wood,
coal and ashes. The faculty. will
have an eye to the health of the young
ladies and all will soon get used to
the new method.
The friends of tho colored hospital
are still at work and it it is thourht
our city will soon have one or two
hospitals for the unfortunate coloyed
people. Mrs Wilkes is leading in one
effort and Mrs. Liddell and Others are
working another.
The meeting at Matthews last week
was addressed by Maj, Robbins in the
interests Of. the democratic party.
We never heard Maj. Robbins before
and were disappointed. The county
candidates announced themselves.
Mr.. Mcdonald made good speech.
and the effect of it was visible. He
is well posted on the tariff and other
public matters and has very interest
ing and forcible way of putting
things. The democrats became alarm
ed and at once declared the joint can
vass off. There was brass band and
the candidates Of both parties counted
in with the crowd which made ~
white men and 4 colored.
The county canvass is becoming
very lively. The candidates are GO
ing through the woods in every dircc-
tion and in different squads. The
democratic candidates have refused to
divide time with the republican candi-
dates, and don't allow the republicans
to announce themselves at their meet
ings since the speaking at Matthews.
1t is a sign of weakness and cowar-
dice in the democrats to refuse an old
time custom like the joint county can
vass. The fact of the matter is, the
democrats can't get up any enthusi-
assn in the county and they can't
stand the fire of the republican candi-
dates. Mr.. Bob Mcdonald opened
too heavy on them at Matthews. He
is too well posted and too good a
talker for them to meet him They
are afraid. With brass bands and
hand bills and newspapers announcing
ex-Congressman, &C., they are unable
to get more than 20 to 80 persons out.
An honest count in this county, will
certainly give majority of the votes
to the republicans,

He says Mr.. Cobb is no service to
himself nor any one else outside, and
should have chance to improve him
self; that he possibly could hardly
count ten outside of the court house.
Mr.. Barker is a competent and good
man, end deserves the support of all
Republicans and Anti-Bourbons.
Mr.. Frazier, the nominee for coro-
ner is we'll known throughout the
county as worthy man.
We have not been able to learn of
Mr.. Flow, the nominee for surveyor.
Now let us for once pull together
and give our party nominees the full
benefit of our strength. Let US vote
every man the whole ticket. There
may be good men on the other ticket,
but they represent the party that OPP
poses protection, education and Re-
publican government. They may he
good men, but they are in bad COM
pany, so we must vote for the men
who represent our party; men who
believe in free ballots and fair counts;
protection to American mandatory
and labor, and men who oppose the
