ALLEN'S BARBER SHOP.
The colored people now have
i quite an attractive looking place,
where they can secure a shave,
hair cut, or anything in the ton
sorial line. W. M. Allen is the
manager of this department of
the enterprises of the colored
race, and he is said to be a most
excellent barber. In the shop,
the largest colored shop in this
city, there are five chairs and
mirrors all arouud the room. It
will no doubt be a winning card,
as the colored people have long
i The Knock-out Blow; r
The blow which knocked bnt Corbet!
was a revelation, to tna pnw usurers,
from the earliest days of the ring the
knock-out blew was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the Jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown la to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one or the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laugbea at mm

It matters little what Mr.Bryan
does so far as the South and he
are concerned, but he may make

Durhan they have established
large enterprises of every kind,
and are gradually growing and
becoming stronger.
With the opening up of a whole
block of stores, including the
Merchants' and Farmers' bank,
on Parrish street, Durham leads
all other Carolina towns in its
colored industries. The bank,
which is altogether owned by
our colored friends, makes the
third one run in this State by
members of the African race. It
is true that many of the other
States in the Union possess more.
BEAUTIFUL DRUG STORE.
The new drug store is also open
for business at this hour, and its
fountain and other fixtures are of
the nicest quality. It has an
authorized capital of $10,000, of
which about $2,500 has already

of the store is in charge of Dr.
S. T. James, who is an expert

comes here from Laurenceville,
Virginia, where he has been in

the officers of it being as follows:
