Telegraph messenger boys have long
been divided into two classcs--those
who arc wise and those who have bone
heads. The courts have not yet passed
upon the case OF this latest young
ster who has just walked into fame.
Just about church time Sunday
morning a telegram came from Roa-
noke addressed to Rev. T. Clagett
Skinner. d. d., pastor OF the Second
Baptist Church, requesting that he go
to Roanoke yesterday and preach a
funeral sermon. The message was
scaled and delivered to a new boy,

WHO WANTS TO
 BE A BALDHEAD

Thousands of men are daily growing bald and don't know it.
 Those persistent germs of dandruf, often called the destructive agents of the devil. are in full possession of the hair of thousands of Americans.
 They have wonderful endurance, these game little demons; they never stop work; they dig and dig and dig and gnaw and gnaw and gnaw night and day, day and night, with seem ingly only one purpose in view. and that purpose to destroy the vitality of the hair and make us race of bald heads.
 What are you doing to protect your self from the ravishing inroads Of these almost unconquerable fiends?
 There is only one way; kill the dandruff germ, or the dandruT germ will kill your hair. The quicker you start. the quicker you can win the battle.
 The only weapon you need is a bot tie of Partisan Sage. the only halr prepa ration that spells death to the eevEsssh cs&ndruf germ.

So well recognized has the application of these principles to business become that the public has learned to look upon successful business men with as much interest and concern as upon successful statesmen, and the Bulletin will, therefore, be considered entirely within the rules of propriety in briefly reviewing the business career of the men at the head of the most prominent mercantile house in Norwich that has business policy in this city that all recognize as beneficial to the entire public. In fact 1t would be no exag- geration to state that with the advent in business of Messrs. Porteous and Mitchell in Norwich began a new era for. our fair city that has not only given it metropolitan air but has placed the general public in a position To enjoy the same trading aGvanta ges enjoyed by the people Of the largest cities in the country.
 Came Here in 1873.
 Tn the spring of 1873 there came to Norwich two young Scotchmen John Porteous and Archibald Mitchell. They had gained in their native country a good ground work in the knowledge of the dry goods business and upon coming to America had anplified that knowledge by several years service in the large establishment of Brown Thomson & Co. of Hartford. They had determined to start in business for themselves and coming to this city they leased @ small store in the Rich ards building on Main street and open ed a store. Their beginning, like that of nearly every successful business sfiT1n, was small. It was an experiment hut from the first it met with success. With progressive ideas gained from their experience in other fields Messrs. Porteous & Mitchell began what might
