EIoauence Of The Highest
Type.

The Wilmington N. c. Star,
in referring to the campaign now
being made by Mr. Bryan very
justly says:
"Never before III the political
history of this country has can-
didate for Office, high or low,
gone before the people and in
spired the enthusiasm that
William Jennings Bryan mas,
and never has a man gone be
tore them so capable of insplr>

eager to hear him aud struggle

phrase which they all appre-
bend. such narrowy speech

WE'VE STARTED RIGHT.
More People Here Than we
Can Attend to.
It Means Something and,
causes Several Popular
Young Ladies' to be Added
to our Force.

We do not claim to have the
largest store in Elizabeth City.
We do not claim to have more
goods than all the other mer~
chants together, but, we do claim
that ever since we begun bust
ness in this town, that we have
been ga thorn in the flesh to
some of those stores who have to
get big profits, because they
have to charge SO many goods on
their books. We have adopted a
system of cutting the price so
low, that any person with ordi>
nary intelligence, can see the
difference in trading at a store
that does everything for CASH.
We have been working day and
night, unpacking the largest
stock OF goods we ever had.
While in New York, l attended
several big sales and can with ali
truthfulness say, that we have
some goods at less than half their
value. The people are finding
out, that Mitchell is hustling for
trade and has done more for the
laboring people, than any other
merchant in the town. On a
busy day, you will always find a
crowd of buyers at Mitchell's.
Why do the people flock there?

employ more young ladies to
help wait on the crowd. He now
has in his employ, Miss Lennie
Rogers, better known as "Lucky
Lennie," who seems to know
how to suit everyone with new
dress. She has been selling
dress goods for years and receives
so many orders from her many
friends, that we all call her
LUCKY Lennie." Next conner,
is Miss Kate Stallings, she has
taken iiold with a vim and en-
Joys waiting OH the number of
friends that she has brought to

Cora Gard, has just come with

actly what sly lie of trimming to

served us SO long, is still here

but not least, comes our popular
little shoe man, MI. Oliver G1i>

has golden hair, some people say
its red, but it does not make him
mad. He is born shoe man

Voters during this campaign
must not lose sight of the tact
that the election Of a silver Press
ident and Vice President is but
half of the battle. A silver Press
ident and gold Congress would
mean a death blow to the cause
of free silver. 1t is therefore
the imperative duty of every ad-
vocate of the free coinage OF
silver to vote for silver men tor

election Of a silver Senator, and
to vote only for candidates tor

India has an equally simple custom fOr
the cultivation OF divorce. Up to the com
mencement of the century q childless Hin
doc was permitted to lend his wife TO q
brother or other male relative in order to
have children. In Burmah the women
when marrying do not take their husbands
names, but retain their own, with the adj
deidum OF wife of So-and- So" This
makes 1t convent for them to assume their

Protection for Street cars.
Some time ago a suggestion was
made in the line of utilizing some
thing in the nature Of strong brushes
as street a protectors. In the orig
inal# idea the brushes were sc arrang-
ed that they would gather up obsta-
cles and deposit them on a platform
provided for that purpose and attach
ed to the front of the car. A recent
invention utilizes the street cleaning
brush in a similar way, except that
the obstacles are swept away from the
track instead Of being gathered up and
taken care of. This idea has very lit
