THOMAS ]. WILSON, NJ. D.

This is the story Of a Pennsylvania
who made North Carolina his home, and
how it received him will be told.
DIR. Wilson was born in Pennsylva-
MIA Id 1884. Early in life he removed
to North Carolina and was a student
and graduate Of Davidson College. Look
ing toward the noble profession of medi-
cine as his goal, he entered the medical
department Of the University of New
York, where he was graduated with dis
tinction in 1858. Ever since that time
he has devoted his life increasingly to
the healing art, being in constant and
active practice. When the war between
the States broke out DIR. Wilson's name
was found on the roster of surgeons in
the Confederate army. In this capacity
he served faithfully and skillfully
throughout the entire war, giving untold
relief to countless hundreds.
In 1885 DIR. Wilson moved to Chapel
Hill and here indeed there are not many
who do not know his name, both in town
and county How the community re-
CARDS the valuable quality of his SER
vices can be seen from the fact that
he has been superintendent of the health
board of Chapel Hill for many years,
and also county coroner. He is also
a member Of the State Medical Society
As to politics DIR. Wilson is Demo
crat. ever striving Loyalty for the good
of his party, but not wishing evil to
any one. In religion he is member Of
the Presbyterian church.
Perhaps in no profession are so many
different qualities necessary to be blend
ed in one exponent as in medicine. The
successful physician must combine learn
ing, skill, determination, tenderness, pa
thence and force. So that to say it

'every Indication justifies the belief that
the mountain states will do larger bust
ness the present year than in any previ-
Gus year in their history. More miles of
railroad will be constructed, more ore
will be produced, more building in every
line is projected" The OBSERVER rises

many mines that have been idle for the
past five years are again resuming work

An exchange says man in Missouri
who wns too stingy to subscribe for his
home paper sent his young boy to a
neighbor to borrow one. As the boy was

out to get him, but slipped and fell on
the ice, dislocating his knee, and tearing
the bosom Of his $40 pantaloons. His
wife ran to his assistance leaving two
year old baby on the floor. The baby
crawled out the door and fell down the
well, and while the mother WIS fishing

was totally destroyed. Moral: 1t never

abounds and the crests and heraldic devices
are Of the dainties,t. Every style Of letter

ment which should be watched and which
will afford great opportunities to the
