A i oic 4 0 ci F..ty superior Heaters K.co.ved b oumtnfira & Layne. i Mesr. ummer.s ,V, Layne,our cnterpns j ing dtat-rs in hardware, stoves and tln j Ware, haw just nn oived an invoice of over I fifty heating stoves, of every Imaginable I style and pattern, to supply the fall and winter demand fur iliu?o invaluable articles, so essential to render homes comfortable nnd pleasant during the winter months. They arrived direct from St. Imis and aro ot the colebrated Charter Oak manufacture. The prices range all the way from $1 to $2fi each, thus enabling any person, no matter how he may be financially fixed, to procure a stove that will suit his taste, and still be within range ot the purchasing power of his available capital. Theso celebrated stove, are imiuufttetured by a llrm with a world-wide reputation' for fair and honest dealing, employing none but .skilled la borers and mechanics, aud paying good aud liberal wases for their work. In other words these articles are not the product of penitenti.iry foundnrics, where Incompe tent apprentices are forced to do the work, takittg no pride in tho product of their labor, which is. as a consequence, full of llaws and imperfections. This firm also 1 andles the oelebrated Charter Oak Ranges, with patent wire gauze oven doors, and every one ohl by them is accompanied by a guaranty to the effect that should a Haw be found therein the amo will be replaced by a du plicate o.' the imperfect part or by a new stove. This latest Miipincnt has been marked remarkably low, and Tin: Scout's odvice to intending purchasers is to make a personal examination of this stock and be convinced of thetruthfulnuss of tho facts above set forth, before going elsewhere, This linn is composed of energetic busi ness niuii, who make a specialty of the stove, tin and hardware business, and is deserving of a goodly share of tho public patrouogo. Return of tho Favorites. Again we havo the pleasure of announ cing the appearance of the favorite Royco it Lansing Musical Comedy Co. This is one of tho few amusement organizations which is an honest pleasure to commend to the public. They have kept faith with the public and have received in return tho public's most hourly support and praise. A private letter from Mr. Ray L. Royco, says: "We remember with pleasure our former viMt to your eity, and tho cordial welcome extended us at that time. Were tu.nto you with a larger and stronger company than ever before and a programme of except oual exce Icucc, ono which will particularly commend itself to those then tre goers who doIUht in a performance at once artistic, laughable and refilled.'' That Mr. Rovce will fulfill tho above to the letter, is undoubted by any who have had tho pleasure of witnessing the previous enter tainments given by this company. A Sale investment. Ls one whieli is guaranteed to bring you satisfactory results, or in case of failure a return of purchase price. On tliissafo plan you can buy from our advertised druggists a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption.

' f'vv IN THE SOUTH. Prosress cf t'ao Kosro F.acs Undjr tho New Rcslmo. R.muuit, X. C. Oct. 13, 1?V0. ! EniToit Okkmo.v Scout: Opposite tho windows of my board ing house, which stands on an old street of a southorn eity, is an ancient two story brick house with sloping roof and large, nearly square windows. Its whole appearance, as a building, speaks of tho past. Of that ancient regime in which the elite of tho eity built their homes, and retired their families in the then aristocratic two story substantial brick dwellings. IJut it is not of tho past I now with to wrilo; but of tho present. One-half of the first Hour of this now unpretentious structuro has : been converted into a barber's shop, j Its long row of barber chairs; its cubes j for toilet articles ; its pigeon holes for shaving cups above these: its generous supply of bright towels; its good sized mirrors and clean lloor; all speak of that neatness, smoothness and dis patch; that style, cut and iiuudt, which make a barber shop a place approved by customers ami profitable to the pro prietors. The other half of tho (irt-t lloor of this remnant of the past is divided in to two rooms. Tho front room is used for a neat More; well stocked with thoso most common articles of wear for both sexes whieli always finds a ready sale at fair profits. Tho store-is clean ; the goods neatly kept and well displayed. Instead of a partition in tho rear of the storo room there is a gootl and handsome portiere; concealing from us, all that lies behind. The whole second door of tho house is used as a dwelling. A wooden awn ing tho whole length of the building reaches from the wall to tho curbstono, covering the whole sidewalk. Against tho whole wall of tho houso facing the sidewalk aro shelves, cases and frames, to hold cakes, candy, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables of all kinds. Always a large and satisfactory stock from which to select, if on a marketing tour. Close to the curbstone and facing away from the street is a long, high-backed, com fortable wooden seat on which custo mers, gossipcrs, or any persons so de siring may sit and rest. Tho wholo place has an air of business; keen, ac tive, shrewd, enterprising, successful business. Thero is an air of thrift over tho whole, which belongs to a genuine New England Yankee town. And yet this is not a Yankeo town. Nor aro the owners of tho building and busi ness, ubiquitous and money getting Yankees. Only negroes; remnants of tho old slave days, and nothing more. A negro man and a negro woman, his wife, aro tho occupants of this com fortable and pleasant homo ; and tho proprietors anil managers of tho bar ber shop, store and fruit stand. Thoy aro doing business in business ways; and, all things considered, perhaps as profitable business as tho larger anil more pretentious establishments in this busy city. A short time sinco ono of tho large business houses, on the prin cipal business streot failed. Of courso somebody lost by that-transnction. Thero will bo no failu?ftvith surely following losses, in tlio busines of this prosperous nogro pair. Tin's little sketch may possiblo answer questions lying in some minds, concerning tho negro raco. Tho number of negroes who havo becomo rich sinco tho war, in tho South, is largo. Tho city of At lanta Georgia, has upon her tax rolls a largo number who pay taxes on ten thousand dollars; soino who pay on two hundred thousand ; ono on moro than that. In ono section of South Caro lina, tho credit of tho negroes is as good as the credit of tho whites; and both races aro prospering sitle by side, with no thought of a raco contest. When overbody is not only chasing, but most everybody catching tho almighty dollar, thero will bo no time to get up a raco question for tho benc'fit of par tisan, party saving politicians. Tho industrious, law observing negroes of tho South havo the sumo opportunities for gaining wealth and prosperous homo, that tho whites enjoy. Enough of them enter tho contests and win for themselves success, in its ftdl moaning, to do nonstrato tho possibili ties in tho raco, lint whether, as a raco they will avail themselves of tho opportunities open to thorn, and bo and becomo all that they may, is a question still waiting for an answer.
