In speaking Of a Tennessee woman
appearing at church recently in Grim
oIlne, thereby causing small sized
riot, the Boston News remarks, that
the chivalrous Southrons know bad
thing when they see it,
One young man saved from life of
folly and Incidence will bring such an
amount of wealth to the community
Ill which he lives as will amply pay
Tor his iudiciOus training. A neglect
OF it will bring untold misery to him
self and expense to the public.
II the regulations of the vast army
OF oltice-seekers were brought before
the public some would perhaps receive
such an airing as that of a candidate
for office during the heated campaign
has never known. Good men and no
mugwumps is the wish Of the people.
Forty-iiye thousand dollars is a
pretty good sum to receive for knock
ln@ fellow-countryman down.-E1-

lucky if you get nothing. But you

The Raleigh papers are urging the
people of that city to extend an invita-
ton to Evangelists Moody and Sankey
to hold meeting there. The question
is being considered and it is hoped that
the capital city will next be favored
by these noted evangelists after the
close of their meeting in Wilmington,
which begins the 18th inst.
Take little time away from your
business. Get out and around and see
how Your brother merchants are get
ting along. Take more interest in
public affairs. Let your voice be heard
occasionally outside Of yonr place of
business. Don't let your friends be-
lieve that you are selfish man with
only your own private affairs at heart.
