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

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.
