BUSINESS MEND. H. Rittenhouse.
ESQ, of Halifax, gave us a call on
Monday. He has a farm neal Little
ton, but is at present agent for a cotton
pl%ow-harrow, er pulverizer, which will
roll over a corn stalk stubble-field and
leave it ready for planting. 1t is not
fair to ourselves, Cor a newspapers sup
port depends on its advertising) tu give
free notices where the parties do not
advertise; but we trust the manufac-
turers of this machine will at once send
a large advertisement, SO that our read
ers may see it. Our people must buy
la~bor-saving machines. The South
will never get rid of her swarms ofworth-
less idlers until our farmers get to using
implements which will enable one white
man to do the work of six negroes.
Thank the Lord many Southerners
are beginning to see this, and will soon
emancipate themselves. Mr.. Geo.
Allen told us that he was selling cotton
cultivators faster than mis- men could
make them. The Howard Agricultural
Works, at Tarboro, has sold (for three
s~easons) as many Edgeconabe Cotton
Planters as they could make. (See ad-
vertisement Of this excellent machine.)
And MIR. Rittenhous Sc says Col. Polk
sold his Pulverizer within a few hours
after it was exhibited in the store.
That's right! Let manufacturers who
have a good article advertise it freely,
and ere long it will find plenty of pur-
hasers.-Mr. T. f. White, a clever
young Alamancean, son of Elder Ste
phen White, of Hawields, is clerking
for the dry goods house of Yeargan,
Petty & Co., and wishes his Alamance
friends to call upon him, or write to
him, when they want anything wearable
from hat tip to tip o toes.

RALEIGH REvlvALs.-Twenty or more

More than $50 have been Baptized at
the colored Baptist church within the
past fortnight.
Revivals are also in progress at the
Salisbury and Person street churches.
Raleigh is a good field for such work.
The Stay-at Home. and the Don't-Be-

congregations every Sunday. One OF
these Brethren won one thousand dol

From State cotemporarIes.

Our object in getting up the Press
Notes was simply to benefit our Brethren
of the local press, and also our business
friends who wish a list of State papers.
We knew that there we're fifty thousand
ex-North Carolinians who would like to
have a paper from their old county !;
but as there have been frequent changes
of late years they would hesitate as to
sending for one. Although not a week
has elapsed since last issue, we have
had nearly one dozen notes of thanks
for the information. President Battle
writes that he has found it of much
service, and wishes extra copies. A
very busy Baltimorean writes-"l take

State Press was worth, alone, a year:

BINGHAM SCHOOL BURNT. = Much
interest was excited on Monday by tel
egrams announcing that the Barracks
Of Maj. Robert BiDgham's Academy
were on fire, and would probably be
destroyed. High wind and lack of
water, prevented the checking of the
flames (Which started accidentally in one
of the so two-room. cottages, until the
entire square was laid in ashes. Maj.
Binghams residence, which was sepa-
rate from the barracks, alone escaped.
He estimates the loss at about S27, 900.
with ST., 900 insurance. No one was
injured; though the Cadets worked
zealously, and saved the furniture, and
personal effects. New buildings will at
once go up, and the new session will
BEGIN July 26. !.
The fire will doubtless be of much
advantage, as the new buildings will be
erected with a view to the enlarged pro-
portion of the school.

WASTING MONEY ON CIRCULARS
The Salisbury Watchmdn remarks
that so many cards, circulars, handbills,
etc., are addressed to it that the editor
would occupy all OF his time in simply
reading them, if he were to pay any at
tention to them. Newbern, hariotte,
and Concord papers have recently made
similar remarks; adding that all such
mail matter goes into the waste basket
unread The Farmer and Mechanit

to a little negro to be folded, and arrang

He throws it down in disgust.
The Milwaukee Union takes the cor
rect view of this matter, as follows
There is a class OF persons who imagine
they are doing very judiciously by al
vertising through the medium OF circu
lars. They scatter a few thousands
through the country announcing then
business, and await the result, fully con
WINGED that in so doing they have taken
all necessary preliminaries to success.
Various circulars are almost daily to be
found on the door steps and entry ways
Of respectable houses. Their fate is
generally, that they are either thrown
into the streets by the indignant servant
girl, or summarily pitched aside by the
man of the house, who finds them when
he returns home, and who desires no
suggestions of new methods of tighten
his purse. The use of circulars may,
in certain limited cases, answer every
purpose; but the vast majority of those
who have made money by advertising
have found that the columns of a news
paper are the best and the surest, and
in the end the chapest medium OF
communication between the business
world and the public.

IN NORTH CAROLINA


Let us come nearer home. Think for a
moment of the results of advertising on
the prospects Of some of our leading
towns. Brem, Brown & Co, and Witt
kowsky & Rentels, for several years kept
acard in nearly every State paper; and at
tracted widespread attention to Char
lotte, so that the town was dubbed-''The

CAMPING OUT.

For those who wish to spend week or
two in pleasant recreation, we say get to-
gether few friends and camp out. This
is true enjoyment. Camp life is pleasant
relaxation from business or daily toll. Go
together in rough clothes, with your blank
cts, pots and Kettles. Climb the rugged
mountains, see the crystal lakes, the cliffs,
rivers and canyons. Hunt, fish and enjoy
yourselves among the wilds OF nature, and
you will come back new man. This IS
also the cheapest methed Of enjoyment.
Cheap hotels and cheap stages and steam.
boat fares would doubtless increase local
travel. Poor people cannot afford expen-
sive pleasure trips, and this may be obvi-
ated by going on camping excursion. The
Grass Valley I'idngs, in speaking OF the
party which recently left there for the
lakes in this vicinity, says: About
az happy looking party as we have
seen this year, started out On Tues.
day morning for the lakes in the
mountains. They left early, before
the sun had begun to rise, and the pure

spirits, made us envy them. We wished
we were going with them. They had a

camp-kettles, bottom. .blacked coffee-pots,
old worn-out easy shoes, old clothes, and
they looked happy. They were going

ELI PERKINS STORIES.

When | lectured in Cooperstown, writes
Eli Perkins, they told me about an English
joker who dined with Fenimore Cooper be-
fore he died, in 1851. Cooper was then
the most conspicuous man in the little
town which nestles at the feet of high
mountain and reposes on the shores of
Seneca Lake. One day, while Mr. Cooper
was dining with the Englishman, he poured
out some native wine-wine from grapes
raised in his own garden. Taking up
glass and looking through it with pride,
Cooper remarked:
NOW, Mr.. Stebbips, l call this good,
honest wine.
Yes, Mr.. Cooper, agree with you it
is good, honest wine poor, but honest. :"
Mr.. Cooper went on telling his Injun
stories.
l lectured in good old Quaker town up
in Pennsylvania few weeks ago, writes
Eli Perkins, and after the lecture the
Lecture Committee came to me with my
fee in his hand, and said as he counted the
roll of bills:
Eli, my friend, does thee believe in the
maxims Of Benjamin Franklin 2"
"Yea," l said.
well, friend Eli, Benjamin Franklin,
in his Poor Richard maxims, says that
Time is money"
Yea, verify, have read it," I said.
swell, Eli, if time is money, as thy
friend, Poor Richard says, and thee be-
lieve SO, then verify will keep the money
and let thee take it out in time"
My Uncle Consider stood looking at one
of the new silver dollars and, seeing
" In God ,0e trust" on one side, and the
" United States of america on the other,
sadly remarked
Well, Eli, knew we were becoming
a very wicked and worldly people, but /
never expected to live to see the day when
God aud the United States would be on
opposite sides"
