Some Time Go and Get a Chance to See a
Good Stock of Goods Down Street.
The Blackwell grocery has moved its
stock into the building formerly occu-
pied by J. w. Markham, at the foot of
Mangum street, and they now have a
better room, a larger room and a larger
stock. This house carries a complete
line of groceries, fruits in season, and
such goods as are always found in a
irst-class grocery house. Flour, vege-
tables, etc, form a part in their stock,
and the prices are very low.
Country produce will be taken in Ok
change for goods, and the farmer Or city
customer who goes there will be treated
as he always wants to be treated.
The Blackwell grocery is fast gaining
in popularity and THE GLOBE which
always bowls for home enterprise would
suggest that you will not be out of place
to call there for your next bill of gro
ceries. The only objection would be
that you would call again and order
more. This would cost you money but
SO it would any place, and we expect
you had better try it at least once.

/, ARE YOT DOING fONh DUH
In these fall days, when North Caro-
lima looks her prettiest and her crops are
| going to market and contentment ap-
| pears to wreath the face Of all in smiles
are you attempting to induce a friend
to come and look over the field with a
view to locating among us? The fall OF
the year, after the summers work and
the summers heat have passed, is the
time when homeseekers cast about for a
new location.
1t is true that Durham is enjoying a
healthy and almost wonderful prosperity,
but for the most part it is all from within
There are not many strangers visiting
US with a view to locating-and but few
have located for some time.
THE GLOBE wants to again as it has
often done before, insist that every loyal
citizen exert every effort within him to
attract some friend or interest some
stranger. All that is necessary is to find
the home seeker, explain to him and
show to him what We have, and the fact
is apparent. He will come. There is
no place under the blue rafters Of the
-IsI 1o- )fa~ haitian
advantages and no place where a man
would rather live, if he will but try it
once. Here is everything that the wants
of man can ask for here is health and
wealth and society and climate and all
that the most ~exacting could desire.
In these days when town-lot schemes
have thrived on barren prairies, and lots
were sold where all was yet to do in
building a town, people have become a
little timid about what they read-but
with the magnificent foundation which
Durham has-well, there is no risk to
run in investing here.
The past year has witnessed hundreds
of new buildings erected. Business
blocks have gene up and others are 60
ing up; handsome dwellings have been
built on vacant lots, and better buildings
have taken the place of old ones which
were less imposing.
New stores have been opened, and
merchants generally enjoy a better trade.
With all these facts and figures the
citizen generally owes it to himself and
to his neighbor, to do all that he can do
to induce immigration; to invite wealth
and capital and thus aid in enlarging the
city, which is destined to be the greatest
city of North Carolina.
The Commonwealth Club has passed
into inocuOus desuetude, and some one
should try to revive that organization.
Where is the Commonwealth Club,
aud why not have a meeting and help
get the ball again in motion. Some one
has taken his shoulder from the wheel.

Something About the Man Who Runs the
Durham Book Store.

Something About the Man Who Runs the
Durham Book Store.
Prominent among the men identified
with the educational interests of Dur
ham is Mr.. w. H. Rogers, proprietor of
the Durham Book Store.
Mr.. Rogers was one of the pioneers in
the advocacy of our graded school in
this city, and for a long time may be said
to have stood almost alone on this uues-
ton. He was a friend to education when
education's friends were few, and never
ceased his fight for an improved school
system till he saw it in active operation.
In recognition of bis interest in the
work and peculiar fitness for it, he was
appointed school trustee, a position he
has acceptably filed for the past seven
years, in fact, ever since the graded
school was ~inaugurated.
At the time of his appointment Mr..
Rogers was engaged in the grocery bus
mess, but finding the book business more
congenial to his taste and habits, he
opened the Durham Book Store and has
since done a business which exceeded
his expectations. He makes q specially
of school books and keeps a full line of
standard literature, gift books, station
cry, etc.
Read his announcement in another
column and go to see him for holiday
presents.

H NEW EDITOR.
We do not know.

We employed a new editor this week.
The word new is perhaps super1uous.
So it should read, "We employed an ed
itor this week" That is better. Our in,
structions to him were to say something
about anything that suited him, and if it
did not suit Us we should fire him from
the office bodily, or with a derrick or
some way. The first business which he
toted TO us was this
PLAIN jim Cook is q bold, bad man,
And he never caa be a colonel
He is going to where he'll need a fan
In birthstone fires eternal.
w explained to the editor that such
rot would ruin the paper, and he said
that was his object. However, he re-
marked hat if we desired, he would
write something more in the line Of
thought. We asked him if he ever
thought. He said that he thought he
thought, and wanted to know what we
were going to do about it. Then he
wrote:
OF all the men in Concord town
The one 7 thinks crook,
IT'S he who has a hairless crown
His name is PLAIN jim Cook.
This was about all that we could stand,
but we gave the fellow n more trial.
He wrote this with his eyes shut and
with a jag that was just about to bios
som:
The Standard is a loathsome sheet,
scarcely ever at it look,
But toss it out upon the street
And curse the name of PLAIN jim COOK.
The only circumstance about this vas
that he gave he loathsome Standard q
deserving blow. So we told the editor
to try once more and then prepare to die.
He did so, and this is what he said:
In this Unions broad domain,
From Golden Gate to Sandy Hook,
I'm sure I'll never try again
To Hrite the name of Lac JIM Cook.
And the editor will be buried to NOR
row at the usual place. All who desire
to see Justice avenged should attend the
funeral, and go early to avoid the rush.

FRANCE issued $1,000, 600 in assignots
about 100 years ago. They bore the
stamp OF the government and were re-
puted upon their face TO be money, but
they deprecated so in value that a pair
of boots cost 81 800 and a pound of but
ter $50. Examples like this are found
all the way through the century from
France 10 Argentine Republic to warn
the people against that financial heresv
which would attempt to create wealth by
an act of congress.

Badly Ratified.

LA.SAANF AAGS AD1H>1'
The Citizen Is surprised that SO astute
an editor as DR.. Caldwell, of the States
vile Landmark, should print a yarn,
taken from the Lenoir Topic, to the
effect that q certain justice of the peace,
having asked the two opposing lawyers
to take all the time they wished in the
argument Of their case, left the room
with the remark that he was going home
to shell a load Of corn. The story was
old when Adam-the first one-was a
yearling. The doctor is evidently badly
ratified over his error in connection with

AS TO WEDDING BELLS.

Pretty sOon now the regular season for
wedding bells to ring on the crisp even
ing air will be at hand. Maidens tall
and fair to see and young and fes-
tive boys and men will walk hand i n
hand from the marriage altar-walk out
into the world where they "ill live, and
work, and die together.
Well, it is the proper thing-proper
because the institution of marriage is an
old one-and because age does not wither
it and custom does not stale.
There are many funny freaks in the
marriage business; that is to say the
groom 10 be always bushes when it is
suggested to him that the light burned
rather late at the home of his sweetheart
last night; he denies up to the last min
ute, until he gets to the scaffold, as it
were, and then confesses, and admits
that it all is true-that he is TO be mar
ried. Why there should be such foolish
ness about it no one can tell. It has
been suggested that a man denies the fact
because he knows that there is many a
slip 'twixt the cup and the lip-and he
virtually admits that he has no real faith in
the promise of the girl whom he expects

T. THEM COME.

Now that the fall elections have passed
away, while we should all get down to
business, as for the most part all have,
it is time to get into the governor-mak-
ing business.
The question of the hour is not just
yet at hand, but it is time to talk for
governor. The main point seems to be {;
Will Holt succeed himself? If so why
will he succeed himself or why will some
other man succeed him? This question
is perhaps vague, but what we mean is:
Will the fact that Holt has been COVER
nor part of a term, work against him, or
will it be in his favor. We have a very
sensible letter on the subject which will
be printed later on. The law of this
state is such that no man can be elected
twice successfully. HOLT of course is
merely filling out FOwLE's term-and
some of the anxious ones are claiming
that he has had enough and that the per-
simmon tree bearing this honor should
be handed down the line and let some of
the other fellows reach for the fruit.
1t is needless to say that there are sew
eral very able fellows in the field, and Of
course there must be a struggle.
In the meantime, to quote from q yeIy
able gentleman who requests US t.
withhold his name as a matter of good
faith, We shall see what we shall see.'
