A good Promise verified.

1t will be remembered that, a few weeks
since, We noticed a Resolution adopted by
Cape Fear Division, No s, at Elizabeth Town,
Bladen county, to the effect, that the Divis-
ion would present a copy of the Spirit of the
Age, for one year, to each of its members
who were square on the Financial Scribe's
book on the first of January. We have re-
ceiyed from the Treasurer Of that Div. the
names of Mirty-oae of its members, with in
structions to forward each a copy of the
Age Turing the year 1854, as IA compliment
from the Division for their promptness and
faithfulness in the payment of dues. The
Treasurer remarks-"Our receipts for the
last quarter ending, 31st Dec, have been
nearly twice as large as in any previous quar-
ter" Thus great good to the Division has
been accomplished by the rule adopted, and
q benefit and compliment bestowed upon its
prompt members. We recommend the adop-
ton of a similar rule by all other Divisions,
as one that will work to the benefit of all
concerned. Huzza! for old Cape Fear, No. S.
"a Since the above was written, we have
been informed that Franklin Division, in
Macon county. has made q similar arrange
ment. Who next ?
