Death Of Mrs. j. ID. HUMAN.

From the Scotland Neck Democrat
of last week we learn of the death OF
Mrs. Huffman the beloved wife of Rev.
DIR. J. d. Huffman of that place. 1t
was not our pleasure to know the good
woman but DIR. Huffman we know and
love very dearly, and deeply sympa-
thize with him in his sad bereavement.
He has many sincere friends here and
all over the State who will share with
him his great sorrow. DR.. Kingsbury
says in the Wilmington Messenger:
We sympathize profoundly with our
dear friend Rev. DR.. J. D. Hufham, in
his sad bereavement. His good wife is
in a better world than this, but the
bereavement is sore. She was an elect
woman of piety and usefulness, meet
to be the companion and helper of a
dear man Of God.

For great many years l have been
afflicted with a diseased scalp and so
irritating and annoying was the itching
sensation produced therefrom that l had
little rest. After trying number OF SO
called remedies, from the use OF which |
derived no benefit, was finally induced
to use Prof. H. H. Bells Eureka"
Having derived great benefit from it's use
it affords me pleasure to testify to its
value. 1t is an excellent preparation for
the sralp as any one who gives it a fair
and impartial trial may see. Hall q

the trouble complained of, and consider
it money well spent when l invested in a

Sir The manner in which you al
luded to my brother in the Henderson
Post Office matter was entirely unwar-
rantable. Discontinue sending me

Here is that portion of the article re-
ferred to at which exception was taken
We honor those gentlemen who re-
fused to stay in the Office under Moss
administration of affairs to instruct him
in the operation of the same. But
there is always some body ready to do
thing that another refuses to do.
Hicks would not associate himself with
a negro but Moss will. None of the
officials and employees would be re-
tanned under Moss but others are found
to take their place. w. II. Blacknall,
of Kittrell, and J. T. Moss, Of Franklin
county ARE assisting and instructing the
two learned doctors in the business and
conduct of the Office.
Now let's see if we have made an
unwarrantable' allusion to any one :
What we have stated was an uncontro-
rertible fact, not denied by any one,
and as fact we published it. 1t is
also a fact, (which we did not deem
necessary to mention at the time), that
Mr.. w. H. Blacknall was turned out
of the postoffice at KittreH and a negro
put in his place. The good people OF
that delightful little town were justly
incensed at such an outrage, and we
doubt not both Mr.. Blacknall and his
excellent and highly esteemed brother
shared their righteous indignation.
Under these circumstances our citizens
thought it strange and were not little

pressed themselves as indignant ane

The Way to Help Your Town.

Every dollar spent in bringing new
business enterprises to locate among
us, sets in motion machinery which
draws thousands of dollars a year from
elsewhere, and distributes them among
us. Every plant that calls on our
neighboring farmers for their raw ma
terial puts money in their pockets and
makes them more desirable customers
for those who have lands, or goods, or
skill, or advice, to sell. Every bust
ness man who wants a stand calls for
another building or a higher rent rate.
There is absolutely no man, but a her
nit, who is not financially bettered by
the growth of the community in which
he lives. The dollars in public enter
prises are just as certain investments
as the dollars put i'll buying stock OF
merchandise. Murphy Bulletin.
