About Paving Bills.

Don't frCwn and fret when bill is pre-
sented to you, and act as if you are con-
ferring great favor when you pay it.
Remember the other fellow conferred a
favor upon you when he gave you credit.
Pay your bills as soon as you can and
pay them cheerfully and things will work
moother.-Durham Sun.
We have often thought of the same
thing. 1t is strange why some pc ople
get mad as soon as they are asked to
pay an account. No right thinking
man will do so and no honest man who
intended to pay when he contracted the
debt will blame person for asking for
that which belongs to him. If you
have the money pay it. and if you can
not then say so like man. And above
all, do not insult person who presents
you bill by telling him the article
you got was nat worth the money, or
that it does you no good and you only
patronize him to help along. If you
have any fault to find, any complaints
to make, do so before you are asked to
pay for what you got, or you may leave
the impression upon the mind of your
caller that you are lying hypocrite to
say the least Of it.

ern North Carolina, was here yesterday
with big lot Of his fine tobacco which he
sold at COoper's warehouse for rOusing big

for sales of tobacco. His sales amounted
to the prize sum of 1862. 59-enough to
gladden. any mans heart these hard times.
The Captain went home as happy and
with the highest sales that he has made
this season. Other markets and houses
have tried faithfully to secure the sale of
this tobacco but Capt Barnes is one Of
the fortunate men who knows that when
he wants to make an extra big sale he

men, Nothing like knowing where to sell
and Wilson county farmers can not do bet

A SUPERB TREAT
A Galaxy of Musical Talen TO Appear
at Burwell Hail Monday Evening",

A Galaxy of Musical Talen TO Appear
at Burwell Hail Monday Evening",
Dec. 3Osh.
The first concert of the season was
given by the Musin Concert Company
at the Congregational Church last
evening. 1t called forth large and
appreciative guidance of over 1000
people. and if the genial and artistic
performers are satisfied with their re-
ception, which was at once genuine and
enthusiastic, those whose pleasure it
was to hear them assuredly were. NJ.
Musin is a violinist of international
reputation. and he more than sustained
what has frequently been said of him
heretofore by his renditions last evening.
He proved that his successful career as
an artist was due not only to ability
but to warm heart, which made him
enter into his work with ferver seldom
equaled. NJ. Musin has played in pub
lie since his eleventh year, and has
travelled from Tobolk, in Siberia, to
San Francisco. The routine of his
production was something remarkable,
and every individual piece drew forth
rounds of applause, and he was forced
to give An encore repeatedly. NJ. Musin
is ably supported by Miss Annie Louise
Tanner, who is considered by authori-
ties to be the leading soprano in this
country. Miss Tanners force was in
the high notes, taking G without effort;
but what was more appreciated and
decidedly more difficult for soprano
was the clearness and sweetness of the
middle tones. The accompanist, Mr..
Edward Scharf, is possessed of excel
lent power and technique, the feature
Of the Leipsic Conservatory teaching.
Nine. Montegriffo and NJ. Mana gave
superb rendition of La CT Darem of
don Juan," and in fact the whole
was all in all an ensemble of artists

This company will appear at Burwell

The Ordinance Of Con

Bishop Lyman officiated at the church
of the Holy Innocents last Thursday
night. He preached an able sermon
after which he confirmed a class of
10 persons. Admirable as was the
Bishops sermon his charge to those
who had presented themselves to re-
ceive the ordinance of confirmation
was still more beautiful. It was full
of counsel and encouragement, yet
breathing the spirit Of warning lest
they should fall into the pitfalls of
temptation and sin. It was eminently
and was listened to with
rapt attention by the large congrega-
ton present. The venerable and be-
loved Bishop impresses us more favor
ably with his deep piety and eminent
ability every time we hear him preach.

Memorial Window.


A handsome triplet window has been
placed in the Chancel of the church of
the Holy Innocents. 1t is the work Of
Messrs. LAYERS & Westlake of London
and reflects great credit ON their skill.
The designs represent in order the
recorded events of our Lords childhood
with the exception of the Annunciation
and the questioning with the Doctors,
which are reserved for treatment else
where. The visitation Of st. Mary and
st. Elizabeth, the Nativity and the
Presentation in the Temple fill the
lower panels. Above them are the
worship of the Magi and the flight into
Egypt on either side of the Slaugter
of the innocents of Bethlehem from
whom the Parish takes It's name In
the upper part of the middle light is
the CruciiXion and in the arches of
the side lights are the figures of the St.
John the Baptist and st. Stephen.
The window is memorial: the CEN
ire light bearing the name of Mr.. Thos.
l.. Brodie, a former warden of the
parish. The light on the right COM
memorates his two daughters, Mrs.
Archibald V. Gre CORY and Mrs. J..
Herbert Taylor, and that on the left,
wife of the present Rector, Rev. Julian
E. Ingle. 1t is beautiful design and
adds much to the handsome effect of
the church.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF For fear that
some honest. well-meaning citizen
might through some freak of ignorance
Or thoughtlessness attach a momentary
value to the senseless and idiotic stric-
lures that are being placed on our
Mayor, l wish to say,
First. The defendant on trial in the
case that has caused so much discus
sion was keeper of a Bawdy House.
Second. Bowdy houses are not, and
have never been licensed in any civ
ilized State.
Third. The law of North Carolina
makes it indictable to keep them, and
therefore the duty of all officers to pros
ecute them.
Fourth. That any man who does not
uphold the action Of the Mayor in said
trial is evidently ignorant or morally
blind. J,

Mr.. W. R. Henry delivered on the oc-

as he is and graceful and engaging as a
writer we doubt if on any occasion and
any subject he has surpassed this last
performance. Read it and judge for

His First Sermon.

Rev. Frank H. Bishop, the newly
appointed pastor Of the Methodist Epis-
cOpal church, has arrived and entered
upon his duties. He preached his first
sermon to his new charge Sunday night,
basing his remarks ON the text taken
from part of the 9th verse of the 5th
chapter of LIST Corinthians know
We not that a little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump?'' He spoke about
35 minutes and the verdict of those who
heard him was that he preached good
sermon. Mr.. Bishop is evidently a
strong man. He has a commanding
presence, good voice and easy manners.
He is an apt and ready speaker and we
take him to be a man of intellectual
force, an original thinker and a cogent
and logical reasoner. That is the was
he impressed us and we take occasion
to congratulate our Methodist friends
upon having secured the presence and
services of the gentleman who is to
serve them in the relations of pastor
during the ensuing conference year.
Mr.. Bishop was for three years sta
toned OF Beaufort previous to coming
here. He is married man and his
wife will join him in week OF two.
