DEMOCRATIC SPEAkING.-Mr. Preston
Parr. of Edgecombe, addressed the DEM
ocratic club of Henderson township at the
court house in this place last Thursday
night. The meeting was called to order
by MI T. NJ Pittman who introduced the
speaker of the occasion. Rarely have we
listened to better speech than Mr.. Parr
gave us. lie treated the tariff question in
manner that showed great familiarity
with the subject under consideration, and
won frequent applause for the telling licks
he hit the Republican party. He showed
the falsity of that party's claims TO being
the friend of the wOrkingmau and held up
in contempt and derision its rottenness
and faithlessneSs to the people. Mr.. Parr
spoke at length ami our only regret was
that every voter in the State could not
hear him.
The object OF Mr.. PARIS visit was TO
urge the appointment of delegates to the
State Convention of Democratic clubs at
Horehead this week.

HELP YoUR PAPER.-Cnder this head

timely hints that are as pertinent and APP
plicable to the business men of one town
as another. Speaking of the Importance
and value of newspaper to the commu-
nifty in which il is published, and the he
ccssity of sustaining il With a liberal and
prompt paying patronage, the Record says;
Perhaps good live newspaper is worth
more TO a town than any other single in>ti-
tuition one can pick mp in Il days walk.
But a newspaper cannot hope To I've strong,
vigorous, staiwart and full of life without
substantial aid from the people among
whom it circulateS. To run it successfully
requires money, and great deal of 1t.
Unlike some other branches of business, il
can't be run OH credit. But some people
do not appear to regard the newspaper
business in this light. That of all others

Every merchant in town ought to walk

SOME PLAIN PREACHING.-We extract
the following from the BelIefontaine Err
Gmsj'ter: Never Judge man by the
clothes that he wears" is a moth-eaten
maxim, and very poor one at that. Why
not judge man by the clothes that he
wears? To size him up by his clothes is
one of the best ways Of Judging him. Were
it not for his clothes how would We be Ell
ahIed to distinguish dude from man?
Or if man in only moderate circum-
stances, and III debt to his church and the
groveTy keeper, swells out in a sixty-five
dollar suit Of clothes, that man is going to
be Judged" and in way, too, that will
rot reflect any credit on him. Ii men
would be jsdgei more by the clothes they
wear and women LesS, there would be more
fairness in this world.
