For the Standard.


MEssRs HOLDEN & WILSON Gentlemen: The
Standard of the 18th is to hand, and I am so we'll
pleased with the article on the credit system, just
thought would suggest that you keep it in your
paper for year. 1t don't take much room, and
as your columns not filled with Patent Medicine
advertisements think that article vii, do as much
good if read and put in practice for the next twelve
months, Hoofand's Bitters, Leonard's South
American Fever and Ague Remedies, Carriers Span
ish Mixture, Hembod.s Extract of Buchu and
Sarsaparilla, Ayers Medicines, or even Professor
Woods Hair Restorative. One thing, if it don't
store the hair it may keep it from falling off being
torn out 1t may help people to keep from going in
debt, and if man is out Of debt, with little cash
in his pocket it matters little whether he is bald
headed or not. If every. one would pay they 60,
| don't think there would be so many of dys-
pepsa nor falling off of hair then those medicines
would 20 cut of use. feel the sting of using my
credit too freely and as it would not afford any
pleasure to see others placed in the same situation,
feel it my duty to warn them of the danger of 60
ing in debt, and say to all persons starting in life,
never spend your money until you have it in hand.
If you have to work or sell cheaper, you can buy
cheaper and five dollars saved out of your first
years work will amount to large sum, if properly
managed, when you are fifty years old. Make the
calculation what it will be at compound interest :;
that is what all debtors pay for they must pay the
interest annually not get the use of the money
1t has Justly been said that if man with common
sense and industrious habits, pays interest and
drinks no spirits, he will thrive in the world. So
keep it before the people-pay as you go.

Hawks History of North. Cardinal

Our thanks due to Messrs. E. j. Hale & Son,
Fayetteville, for the first volume of Hawks History
of North Carolina We have looked through the
work, and find to be all it expected it would
be, in value and interest. 1t is printed in excellent
style. We adopt the following notice of the work,
which we find in the last Hillsborough Reco, der,
with the remark that the venerable Editor of that
paper is not in the habit of besowing praise where
it is not we'll deserved:
"TnE HISTORY OF NORTH CARoLNA-We have had
much pleasure in glancing oyer the first volume of
the History of North Carolina, by the Rev. Francis
L. Hawks, D. D., of New York, kindly presented
to us by the publishers, Messrs. E. J. Hale & Son,
Fayetteville. The volume contains two hundred and
neatly done up. 1t embraces the period from 1854
to 1891, and includes the five voyages made under
the charter granted by Queen Elizabeth to Sir Wal
ter Raleigh work of the kind now before us
was greatly needed and the execution of it could
not have fallen into better hands. DR.. Hawks, as
tie editor Of the Fayetteville Argus correctly OBJ
in noticing this work, is of North Caro-.
Ii devotely attached to his native State and justly
proud of her past achievements, well her present
stern integrity, lofty morals, and unsullied good
name. He therefore writes with his heart in his
subject; and in his extensive researches and acknow
lodged ability the public have guarantee of far
better and more reliable History Of North Carolina
than any that has ever yet seen the light.
Gov. Swain has been for many years actively engaged
in collecting materials for History of North Caro-.
lima, and is now perfecting arrangements with gen.
tlemen in various parts Of the State assist him in
collecting historical documents, of local we'll
of general interest. To all of which, we learn from
the Observer, free has been rendered to DR..
Hawks.
It is the intention Of the publishers that agents
shall be employed to circulate the work in all parts
of the State, who will soon begin to deliver it to
subscribers. The agents already employed have been
so successful in their abors that second edition
now in press"

The MEETING OF THE SrocKnoLDERs...We have
given as much space the proceedings of the meet
ing of the Stockholders of the Cape Fear and Deep
River Navigation Company, held last week, as we
can spare agreeably to our notice on Saturday.
This meeting has been very interesting one, and
opens the prospect. of success in the completion Of
the work, more clearly than heretofore. 1t is well
known that we rejoced at the refusal of the Legs-
lature to do anything for this improvement at the
last session. We did so, because we were satisfied
that the scanty appropriations from year to year
would but lead the slumbering energies of the enter
prise to lingering DEATH so far as the present
Stockholders concerned Now we have hope
much hope, from the zeal manifested by those most
interested in the matter and which would not have
been otherwise aroused.
Among the most important operations Of the
meeting, was the election of Mr.. Cassidey Presi-
dent He is practical man. of integrity; industri.
GUS and energetic, and well calculated to perform
the services required in his new position in the best
manner He is the person the Company especially
wanted at this time, or one like him.
The presence of Gov. Bragg at the meeting, and
the deep interes. he manifested in the proceedings
and the affairs of the Company. very gratifying
to the Stockholders as we'll as our citizens general
