to the constitution of the

reason why they should have ever
been chosen only by the people. A
many of them buy their seats
and when they get to the capitol
they fall far short of representing
the whom they are supposed
to represent. It teems to us that if
they are to represent the people
they can be better by
people than by others. If any bus-
firm wants a man to represent
it, it generally chooses him itself,
rather than leaving it the bands
of others. Very often the will of

That seems a little funny, but fun-

a Democrat would be chosen as

The following are the brands of Guano which

Special Bright To-
Fertilizers.
This is the richest, highest grade Fertilizer offered for in
the State. It is especially prepared for the culture of Bright To
and there is no sold in the State which stands so
well. We can only refer to the parties in this vicinity who used
it last year. They have all notified us that they will use it again
I his year. Call lo see us and get the analysis and book of
National Fertilizer.
This is a very high grade guano, which has been used very ex
in this State on both Tobacco and Cotton. The best
thing we can say for it is that we have sold it for years and have
never seen any one who was not pleased with it.
Guano.
Is well known all through Eastern Carolina as one of the best
producing fertilizers for all crops ever offered for sale. It is a
very rich high grade made out of the best and has
never failed to give entire satisfaction. The offer

Beef, Blood and Bone.
Is a brand which has never been offered for sale here before.
But we know it to be a first-class standard fertilizer, as we have
sold it before. It is made by a house which stands at the
head of the list for making honest, high grade fertilizers. As its
name signifies it is composed of matter, flesh,
blood and bone, scraps which they obtain from the large slaughter
houses of the West. We have a large supply of
Pure German

Which we will sell low. We think we can make it to your
interest to see us before buying any of your fertilizers. As we
control the sale of these goods for all this section, and buy in
very large quantities, we are prepared to make very close figures
to other merchants, and we want a good representative in each
locality to whom we will sell at factory prices.
To Alliances or Clubs taking M tones or more we will
make special prices.
