TABLE MANNERS,
A Few Rules for Children, Big as
Well as Little.
Il Good housekeeping.

Drink from the cup-never from the
saucer.
Teaspoons are left in the saucer,
not in the cup.
Little children only have the napkin
arranged as bib.
Making noise, either in eating or
drinking is vulgar.
Always cheerfully defer to older
people and to guests.
Eat slowly. and do not fill the
mouth with large quantities.
Eat the food served, or quietly
leave it upon the plate without remark.
Never initiate a rude or uncouth
act, even committed by an older
person.
Avoid drumming with the fingers or
the feet ; it is the height of impolite-
ness.
If in doubt at any time as to what
is proper, follow the example Of others
OF more experience.
Patiently await the coming of your
turn do not follow with the eyes the
food served to others.
Never unnecessarily handle the
dishes, or in any other manner exhibit
nervousness or impatience.
Do not feel obliged to "clean up
the plate;' especially do not make a
laborious display doing SO.
DO not ask for any particular part
of fowl, or similar dish, unless asked
your preference in that case always
indicate something, and if there be
really no choice, designate the portion
with which the host can most Coveni-
emily render services.
If the handkerchief must be used
let it be very quietly; in case that is
not possible, leave the table for a
moment, which may be done in case
of a sharp attack of coughing, sneez-
ing, or the like, without asking
permission, the cause being manifest.

STAND BY YOUR TOWN.
New BernG journal. |

To stand by your town means more
than to simply build up your own in
dividual business and beautify and
improve your place of residence. 1t
means begin at home first, but not to
be uncompromisingly wrapped up
within yourself regardless of your fel
bowman and all surrounding circum-
stances. 1t means to go to work and
stimulate every legitimate enterprise
by giving all the friendly encourage
ment you can, or by uiting your in
dustry, influence and capital in the
common cause. Cultivate a public
spirit and help your neighbor. If he
is in danger of breaking down prop
him up in some way, either by kind
words, good counsel, or a helping
hand in some way even if it is to the
extent of going down into your own
pocket.
Every industry in the place, it
makes no difference how small, should
be given careful consideration. AS far
as possible give these industries all
your patronage instead of sending off
your ORDERS 1t is almost certain that
this year will record a number of i'm
provements for our city, and by all
means encourage the local authorities
in establishing them. If you have a
quarrel on hand have manhood enough
about you to fight it out on its merits
and don't bring it into water-w works,
sewerage, railways, schools, or any
thing that tends towards building up
and keeping apace with the times.
Speak we'll of new and observable
prospects and everything that pertains
to the welfare Of your town. Proclaim
all that is worthy and quietly endeavor
to remedy the evils. Quit abusing
your neighbors and get yourselfstraight.
Encourage every one, especially
new men, to come in and settle among
you, particularly those who are worthy
and active, whether they have capital
or not Their labor alone is worth
money. Those who have capital should
buy lots, build houses or tear down and
remodel old ones. In fact do all you
can to advance the general good fol
as certain as effect follows cause, sc
certain will every enterprise Of merit
repay every citizen. We cannot live
unto ourselves, nor discourage any
movement in behalf of the place with
out inhicting upon ourselves persona
injury.

Less Talk; More Truth.

Some wonder how others win. Well,
those that win make no random shots,
men in business must get their busi-
ness before the public and keep it
there. Plant your advertisement in a
paper that goes to the uttermost parts
of four sections. We take from the
Towanda (Pa.) Argus, paper whose
editor has extended knowledge, not
based on his own imagination, but
on the results of accumulated expert
ence, the following concerning the
weekly newspapers: "The weekly
papers of the country are honest. They
are educators because they tell the
truth. There is no gold pouring into
their Golfers. We doubt if it would
materially change their expression il
there were. The editors of these papers
live near to the people. They know
their readers and their readers know
them. They are in touch with the
community for which they write and
are therefore honest in their utter
ances. Many men to whom ssharp-
ness is the one great attribute, despise
the country press, believing it value
less-of no power or force. In this
their own sharpness o'erleaps its saddle
and falls on the other side. The news
papers published in the towns and
hamlets of America are greater force
for good to-day that the blanket
dailies of the large cities. Why? Be
cause they have the confidence Of their
readers, they print what they believe,
and their readers believe what they
print. All honor to the country press. -

The writer is old enough to know
something of the history of the towns
in North Carolina and to have noted
the causes which have led to the
decadence Of some and the growth
and prosperity of others. There are
some towns which a half century ago
were among the most prominent and
thrifty, as it then went, which have
remained in the same condition they
then were, without materially inCreas-
ing either in business or population,
while in other instances, where few
years ago a town site was scarcely
dreamed of, we now have prosperous
towns and cities. For this there is
cause and it will not be difficult to
find. Some people have an idea that
all that is necessary TO build up a
town, is to run railroad to it. In
this they make mistake. Railroads
do not build towns; they simply
furnish an opportunity for the people
to build them. For a town to grow
in population and business there must
be something to furnish employment
to the people. The patronage of the
farmers may keep up a few stores,
enable few doctors and lawyers to
make both ends meet, and keep
newspaper running if the editor and
his family have poor appetites and get
along on very little food, but that is
all. No town of any proportions was
ever sustained by agriculture.
There must be something to employ
labor, and something which will go
abroad for the money with which to
pay labor, and the only thing that will
do this is manufactures. The history
of the towns in this State fully demon
strate this fact. Except Asheville,
which has received its growth mainly
from the immense number of visitors
who have gone there for their health,
every town in the State which has made
any considerable growth, owes its
prosperity to manufacturing. Among
these towns, Durham and Winston
stand out prominently. Neither Of
these towns have any advantage as to
loca;inns ever scores of others in the
State .,.ld but for manufacturing would
only be small sickly villages to day.
Manufacturing furnishes employment
and the money paid for labor goes to
support every enterprise and people OF
every class. The merchant, the farmer,
the maChanic, the landlord, all get
part of this money and in turn pay it
out to others and it Circulates through
the arteries of trade giving vitality
and strength to the system.
One thing which makes manufac-
turing SO conductive to the growth OF
a town is the fact that the money
which ispaid for labor, together with all
the profits ACQUIRING from manufactur-
ing, is brought from somewhere else
and added to the capital of the town.
The town which has no factories,
sends its money to the manufacturing
town to build it up and enrich it,
Just as the South and West have sent
their money to the Northern and New
England States to enrich them. Take
small town with pay roll of say
$500 a week, and that means thai
$4,000 will be added to the capita
of the place in a year, besides the
A. =
that this money in passing from one
20 another will do the work of severa
hundred thousand dollars. 1t is ir
this way manufacturing enriches q
community, and every town which
expects to grow, must establish them

| find canning profitable, and have

put my produce in cans, and l do not
care to ship any other way"
There IS no reason why others will
not find it as profitable. The early
market offers inducements to truckers,
but they run the risk OF planting
and often lose heavily. With this in
dustry near by their excess of crops
could be worked up and other ground
could be planted later when all danger
from frost had passed. Tomatoes and
peaches, as general thing pay better
than any other goods.

How to Make q Pretty and Service
able Cloak-Appropriate and Becom-

Skirts.

Before we give up the cloak which
is belted in at the back, let US make
sure that we have not missed any pos
s:bilities of convenience in the cut
Certain it is that the newer and pretty
coachman cape affair is inclined to get
crooked, and won't stay on unless we
are hitching at it all the time, or else
have it securely tight by the collar
around a somewhat choked throat.
The usual fastening is just belt or a
string, and it ties around the waist.
Now, this is where the best possibili-
ties of the mode are missed. Let the
belt be very long and instead of
fastening it around the waist, bring it
to the front crossing the breast, and
going to the back again and fastening
at the inside OF the cloak collar at the
back This holds the cloak securely
even if it is all open. 1t coaxes it into

vet about three inches in width at
intervals; namely, one at the hem,
the second at the knees, and the third
at the hips. Another popular method
is to have seven or eight rows of

beginning at the foot wide one and
terminating at the knees with quite a

SOLDIERS OF MY DIVISION On the
eve of a long, perhaps final separa-

words of parting.
The fortunes of war have turned

Freedoms battle, once begun,

Though battIed oft, is ever won.
You have yielded to Overwhelming
forces, not to superior valor You are
parolcd prisoners, not slaves. 1hf
love of liberty which led you into the
contest burns as brightly in your
hearts as ever. Cherish it. Associate
it with the history ,of the past
Transmit it to your children. Teach
them the rights of freedom, and teach
them to maintain them. Teach them

The star that shone with splendo1
over its o!t-repeated fields of victory
over the two deadly struggles o
Manassas Plains, over Richmond

where true courage is admired, o.
wherever freedom has a friend. Thai

May the future of each one be a
