killum & Robbem is said to be the
rather curious name of an Alabama
firm. Notwithstanding its Suggestive
ness, the firm is said to be doing a
thriving business. -E1change
This reminds US of similar story
we have heard. 1t is related that many
years ago two men named Isaac
ketchum and Uriah Cheatham were
engaged in business together in the
Eastern part of the State (Tarboro we
think it was) and their sign very sug-
gestively read |. Ketchum Il L.
Cheatham.
Warm weather is coming and with
1T sickness unless pOper sanitary pre-
cautions are observed. Let us begin
in time to prevent disease that may
result as the penalty Of permitting filth
and decaying vegetation to lie around
loosely. Now is the time to engage
IN general cleaning up about the
kitchens, cellars and yards. Slap
around the whitewash and paint with
an unsparlng hand, and the cholera
germs won't have leg to stand on
during the coming summer.
In speaking Of the entertainment
of Miss Adelaide Westcott, who will
appear at Burwell Hall Tuesday even
ing, April 18th, a York Pa, paper,
says:
The large Sunday School room ofthe
First Presbyterian church was filled
with a select audience last evening to
listen to s. Switzerland Whether
attired in travelling costume, that OF
a Swiss peasant, that Of a naughty
child, or in full evening dress, Miss
WestcOtt captivated her audience and
carried them with her.
Young man, here is something for
you to read. The gainesville, Ohio,
Democrat truthtully says: When you
see youth who will do any sort OF
work, no matter how mental it may
be, rather than be idle, you can make
up your mind that that fellow amounts
to something. The young man who
would starve before he would do any
thing beneath what he cOnceives to be
his dignity, is not made of the right
kind of stuff to cut much Of a figure in
this life. - Any port in a storm is
good maxim. Don't be afraid of any
sort of work, as long as it is honorable.
From our young townsman Augustus
Bradley, PHI. G., chairman of the COM
mittee on Papers and Queries of the
North Carolina Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation, we have received circular
letter addressed to the members, con-
tanning a list Of 80 queries suggested
for consideration at the 18th annual
meeting to be held in Greensboro,
August 9th and 10th. 1893. They
cover a wide range of thought and dis
cussion and can not fail to be of in
terest and value to the profession and
the public at large.
Berry Williams, the we'll known
brick mason and plasterer, says he OBJ
jects to SO many people Of his race
going away-to Boston and elsewhere
but they must have work to do some
where. He added that he might be
tempted to 90 himself, but he never
had anything and does not want any
more than he has, and prefers to stay
here and continue to do jobs in his
line as the best whitewasher and most
expert kalsominer in the State, guar
antecing not to make spot on the
carpet or smear the walls or windows.
When you have anything Of this kind
you want done, call on Berry.
