DIR. Kingsbury. of the Wilmington

Henry's letter to the Richmond Dis
patch, as published in a recent issue of
the GOLD LEAF, relative to the burial
place Of Jefferson Davis, and refers to it
in very complimentary terms. DR..

Richmond is the place, and says North
Carolina has right to speak on the
subject.
We take pleasure in directing atten-
ton to the advertisement of the Justly
celebrated Panacea Water. 1t is not
necessary to say anything of its merits.
An article so well known and endorsed
by the leading men and highest medical
authorities in the State, needs no words
of praise from us. 1t is enough to say
that Mr.. w. w. Reavis keeps in Hen.
derson supply of Panacea Water on
hand and is prepared to furnish it in
any quantity desired, by the bottle or
case.
A note from Dr. F. S. Harris, who

to which address any correspondence
to either should be directed. For the
coming weeks he says they will enjoy
the special demonstrations and clinics
in advanced Dental and Oral Surgery,
which are held at the college until COM

When his work cannot be seen it is
well for some one to. speak in his be-
half, and SO we refer to the card Of Col.
Hill &. Linthicum, contractor and
builder. No one is better qualified to
speak on this subject or has better
cause to do so perhaps. 1t was Mr..
Linthicum who planned and superin-
tended the building of Col. Burgwyn's
splendid brick factory, Il work that both
owner and architect have reason to be
proud of.
The following chunk of truth is clip
ped from an exchange: When Il per-
son SANDERS another it is always be-
cause the slamderer sees something in
the person better than the slanderer
likes to behold. Every Islander is an
effort to destroy in the minds of the
people, what there is good in the per-
son slandered. If there is nothing
worthy or admirable in person, no
Islander of the mortal is thought of by
any one, and a Islander is always of in
jury to the slanderer-one that need
never be noticed, for it always punish
itself in the end.
