The Old Year has drawn to q close,
and with the beginning of the New Year
we wish to thank the public for their
patronage and recognition of our efforts
to do our full duty. We are fully con.
scious that il is to them that we owe the
unexpected success of the past year, in
which our business has been more than
doubled, and we can only regard it as q
new evidence that our business naxims
are such as to cause our customers to
have confidence IN US and attract those
who are cautious in dealing with any
Pharmacist until they have bseome fully
assured of the nature and extent Of his
business principles. In our dealing with
the public we realize that the most seru-
puious care and honesty are paramount
in Importance. Hthese are virtues in
all ordinary business transactions. they
become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and
without them no one can be true Phar.
macist. The health, maybe the lie. OF
those dealing with the Apotheeary de.
pends upon them. We consider il our
most sacred duty to shun authorizations
and spoiled as well as Inferior drugs.
They constitute an evil from which Phar-
macy suffers no less than the public. The
evil is not a new one, inaugurated in late
years; it has existed as long as there
we're men whose cupidity was stronger
than their sense Of Justice, and il will
doubtless continue as long as there may
be men with conceptions of business so
vague that they expect to purchase gold
for the money value of dross. There are
no other moral principles required for
transacting Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary for any other business.
Unwavering integrity that remains unin-
fuenced BY the visions of gold along the
road Of questionable or deceitfui prae.
tices is the only foundation for success
that is worthy the name; it is so in
every pursuit, and more particularly in
Pharmacy, where as matter Of ueces-
sity it must be combined with constant
vigilance in all directions. so as to secure
all possible safeguards.
These are the principles which VIC have
endeavored to live up to, and to which
we trust our increasing success is due.
We hope our former pati ons will show
the same kindness toward US in the f,.
ture that they have in the past, knowing
that no action OF ours will ever make
them regret a continuance Of their IA
vors. Yours truly,

A STREET DUEI.
Bet~veen a Negro and a White
lsirl-An Illinois Sensation.

CHICAGO, Jannary 8.-A Herald spe.
cial from Jacksonville, ILL.,, says: Miss
Fannie Keener. of this city, was shot
and mortally wounded last night on the
street by Nathan Pasten, n colored man.
She returned the fire and wounded the
negro so badly that he will die. For a
long time the affairs of Miss keener, who
is d Young. beautiful and wealthy white
girl, and Pasten, her colored coachman,
have been the gossip of the town.
Some time ago Pastcn went to Iowa,
and while he was there Miss kcener sent
thu negro large amount OF valuable
property. Miss keener remained here,
where she has been living with her
brother. 1t was thought there would
be nothing more between Miss keener
and Pastcn, but yesterday morning the
negro returned to Jacksonville and at
once proceeded to the home OF Miss
Keener. where he was met by Tom
Keener, who ordered the negro away.
Pasten turned to go, but as he turned,
met Miss kecner and a young man
named Bancroft. Without warning, the
negro drew a pistol and began firing,
first at Brancrot, who was twice
wounded, and then at Miss keener, who
promptly returned the fire, both being
wounded Miss keencr was shot through
the lungs and hips, and is in very crit
ical condition. Pasten was shot in the
arm and head.
At this juncture Tom keencr and
colorcd boy named James Brown, took a
hand, clubbing Pasten until disarmed by
the crowd of people drawn to the scene.
PaSten is in iail, hut so terribly injured
that il is thought that hccannot recover.
The keencr family is one of the most
popular in Jacksonville.
