TO OUR FRIENDS.

We have just received a lot of new types
part of which are intended for the contcmpla-
ted enlargement Of the Recorder, and the others
to enable us to execute in better style Blanks
and other Job Work. Our friends will see from
this that we are in, n,carncst in the matter of the
enlargement Of Our paper. and we hope to re-
ceivc sufficient encouragement to enable US to
do SO before the meeting ofthe Legislature. All
that remains to accomplish it is the purchase Of
a new Press. The paper now is as large as our
old press will print; and besides, having with
stood the assaults Of the British in the war Of
1912, it is somewhat difficult to be kept in or
der, and cannot be safely relied on. An addi-
ton of $50 new subscribers, with an advance
payment, would meet the necessary cxpendi-
ture at once. We appeal, then, to our friends
in Orange, Alamancc, Granville, Person, and
other neghboring counties, to aid us. BY lit
tie effort from each Of our present subscribers,
all that we require could be accomplished in a
few days. The enlargement would make con-
siderable addition to the amount of reading mat
ter each week, and would greatly increase the
usefulness and efficiency of the paper. If pro-
perly encouraged, we shall cndeavor to make
the REcoRDER not only faithful exponent Of
Wing principles, but also one of the best Fami-
" Papers published in the State. Who will be
the first TO respond to our appeal We have
labored faithfully and long in the Wing cause
and for what we believed to be the true inte,
rests of North Carolina, and surely an appca
now to the friends with whom VIC have co-opc
rated, will not pass UNDECIDED.

STATE ELECTIONS.

The complexion of the partial returns rcceiv-
ed indicate that the Wings have triumphed in
the late election in Missouri. Col. Benton is
defeated for Congress by a large majority in the
ST. Louis District, by Luther NJ. Kenneth,
whig.
The Iowa election is still in doubt, though it
is believed that the Wings have succeeded. At
the last accounts, the Wing candidates were
some hundreds ahead.
A special election for Congress, in the Par
kersburg District, in Va, has resulted in the
success Of Chas. 8. Lewis, Democrat, BY 500

The announcement of the death of
john Alexander Ellington. Esq. (the

effect upon the minds Of our readers.
He died in the quiet possession Of his
faculties. at his residence in Mocks-
vile, surrounded by his family and
friends, ON Sunday night last at i2
o'clock.
Mr., Ellington was induced by nature
with talents and social affections &C a
very high order. As Lawyer he was
skilled in the duties Of his profession.
and was ever faithful to the interests
of his clients; as an Advocate he was
ingenious and eloquent as a Legisla-
tor he was true To the honor Of his ma.
tive State. lie was effectionate as a
husband. kind as father. and indul-
gent as the master of his slaves.
He leaves a widowed wife, the mo-
thcr Of fuur orphan children, to weep
bitter but unavaiIing tears over his
early grave. May "God temper the
wind to the shorn lambs"
Let the ,levotees Of learning. let the
votaries Of ambition, let the sons Of
genius strewfowers upon his bier, and
then rehecthow frail is the hold on life
without the anchor Of a Christians hope
without the cables Of a Christians
faith.
