Our people in Huntington show nc

But one other cause then exists, viz
extravagance.
Christmas is now at hand, and hun

useless wooden toys, dolls, iire-crack-

of FIRE burning us out. Instead of such
foolish expenditures al this time Of

How TO MAKE MONEY IN HUNT
INGToN The above was the sub
iect Of a sermon preached to the
Methodist Church at Ingham's Hall,
on last sunday evening. Many sup
posed from the announcement of the
subject that Mr.. Griffith was going to
tell bv what means money could be
made, but that was not it; his subject
was rather the ethics of money max
ing, the mode in which man should
conduct his own conscience, in his
dealings with his fellow man. TWAS
a clear exposition Of the principles
that should rule in the mind OF every
honest man. His view was that If a
man conforms to the directions of the
Gospel in making money, he cannot
90 far wrong. 1t is in direct opposI-
ton to the old adage of every man
for himself but is rather every
man for his brother :" the Rev. gen.
tleman maintains, that if men dealt
on this principle, there would be more
general prosperity, and more mel
would accumulate riches. The ser.
mon was plain, practical full of good
will and common sense. and worthy
of the large congregation and atten
tive hearing it received. The Hal
was well filed.

not pay his fine, 50 he had TO go to the
