The druggists share with the Episco
paIians the ownership Of the city this
week. 1t is we'll for us to have at the
same time representatives of two hon
ored callings, the one devoted to curing
our physical ailments and the other to
curing our spiritual defects.
The druggists received "A cordial well
come from the people of Raleigh, who on
two former occasions have been glad to
give the association glad greeting to the
capital.
The Association was organized in this
city seventeen years ago. The father of
of the Association, the late r. Nj. Nadal,
of Wilson. and others of its organizers,
have passed away, but their mantles have
fallen on worthy shoulders. The Associ-
alton has secured the enactment of laws
for the protection of the public and the
druggists. improved the standing of the
profession. secured the establishment of
a chair of pharmacy at the University,
and have in other ways more than met
the expectations of the founders and the
public.
Mr.. John p. Stedman, of Oxford, vice
president of the Association, called the
body to order at IL o'clock, the president.

country, well equipped hospital, a beau

Agricultural and Mechanical College, and

head. We know we are safe, and feel
