Depends on how we take it,
The DURHAM RECORDER.
Another home enterprise; even
tually, in due season, Messrs. w.
Duke Sons 4 Co., will have CON-

ing their small cigarette cases at
their own mammoth establishment,
here in Durham. The successful
business Of this firm is Justly trump
eted abroad.
Again; build more factories;
the welfare and prosperity Of Dur
ham depends upon these enterprises.
The citizens Of this place Al is we'll
known, during the last twelve years
developed as much mechanical gem
ius and manufacturing capacity as
were ever brought into play in any
other portion Of the world in like
brief period.

Owing To the rush Of advertise
mems we ARE a little late this week:
We, too, beg our readers to bear
with US, we'll give You more read

going TO TRI-it-WERELY; We feel
that a change is coming over the
spirit Of our dreams. and that Dur

We neglected 10 notice last

County "CoErier" had entered upon

substantial basis. The paper is an
industrious, able aud faithful co.

As our townsman. DR.. J. ID.
Roberts is an applicant I r Superin-
tendent Of the insane asylum at
Raleigh, We bail with pleasure the
following item from our esteem
contemporary, the Clinton "Causi-
sian: "Dr I'D. Roberts. Of Dur
ham, is being prominently spoken
Of for Superintendent Of the Insane
Asylum at Raleigh. DIR. Robert. Is
native Of Mount Olive aud broth
er-in-law Of u. II. Nicholson, Esq i,

stripped Arthur Burcham and Calvin
Holder, Of the garb Of earthly exis-

road track ~ an intoxicated condi-
ton, near the Durham 4 Northern
depot; both were young men. The
following is the verdict; DIR. \. NJ.
johnson, Coroner: THAT one or
both Of the victims were under the
influence Of liquor. and that the up
2o'clock train struck and killed
them. We attach no blame 10 the
railroad authorities or any one else,
but their deaths were caused by their
own fault"
-keek working! There is much
10 be done. and done with untiring
vigilance aud zeal. Our neighbOr.
the "Globe." said il last Fridays

an avenue 10 wealth paved with
brownstone, beds 0f brownstone in
which this section abOuuds," &c.
II would b. weakness to forget or
let the advantages pass; We believe
the people are too we'll drilled to let
any opportunity slip by: il is the
wisdom Of her citizens b profit by
experience Again we say, build
more factories; Durham has the
same enterprising citizens she has
always bud; The first man that
pitched his tent at the "way-side
station" les than twenty years ago,
came to stay.
