The REGISTER is very sorry indeed
to have to say that John Tuggles Inns
decided to go elsewhere to seek fame
and fortune. The good part of it.,
however, lies in the fact that the new
position will bring him an increased
salary and opportunity, with greater
responsibility. He went Monday
to Madison, Kan, a small town
sonth of Emporia, where he will take
full charge of one of the two drug
stores in the place.
In leaving lola he sewers a pleasant
connection of five years duration with
Mr., q. b. Spencer, and most pleas

During the years he has spent here
he has won golden opinions from his

The Danger OF Beer.
Printed by Request


For some years decided inclina-
ton has been apparent all over the
country to give up the use of whiskey
and other strong alcohols, using as
substitute beer and other compounds.
This is evidently founded on the idea
that beer Is not harmful, and contains
a large amount of nutTiment; also,
that bitters may have some medical
quality which will neutralize the al
cohol which it conceals, etc. These
theories are without confirmation In
the observation of physicians.
The use of beer Is found to produce
species of degeneration of all the or
gans; profound and deceptive fatty
deposits, diminished circulation, con-
ditions of congestion and perversion
of functional activities, local milan
nation of both the liver and kidneys
are constantly present. Intellectual
ly, stupor amounting almost to par
alysls, arrests the reason, changing
all higher faculties into mere ami
mallsm, sensual, selfish, sluggish,
varied only with paroXysms of anger
that are senseess and brutal. In APP
pearance the beer drinker may be the
picture of health, but in reality he is
most incapable of resisting disease. A
slight injury, severe cold, ora shock
to the body or mind, will commonly
provoke acute disease, ending fatally.
Compared with inebriates who use
different kinds of alcohol, he is more
incurable and more generally diseased
The constant use of beer every day
gives the system no recuperation, but
steadily lowers the vital forces. 1t ia

gan to come to town early in the
morning and they just kept at it all
day, aud after dinner there was an
immense crowd here, looked as if it
might have been circus day or the

The REGISTER reporter inquired of
some of the merchants how much
business they did Saturday and
smiles, bordering ON u grin, would
light up their faces as they made re-
ply that IL was one of the best days
of the season. And the great ma

business last Saturday are the men
who use the advertising columns of

results and our best merchants are

NO SMALLPOX IN WILMINGTON
The Last Of rhe Two Patients Discharge d
The Scare Ended Soms Time Ago

There is now no smallpox in Winning
ton. Yesterday afternoon DR.. VIM. d.
Mcmillan. superintendent of health, went
to the pest house and discharged James
Harge, colored, patient No. .. as a we'll
man.
Stephen Johnson, who was the first
patient and whose case was discovered
and reported by DR.. w. j. II. Bellamy
on Wednesday, January 18th, was dis
charged last Monday.
The two cases of smallpox created con-
siderable excitement at the time, but
after the persons in contact with them
failed to take the contagion. security was
felt. The physicians are satisfied that the
prompt vaccination of the persons who
had a chance to catch the disease put an
end to it.
The only thing to be feared now is that
the disease can be brought here again
from some other infected pace, hence
the Importance of vaccination was urged
upon our people.
