A WORD WITH BOYS.

Boys, what are YOU doing?
What are you going to be- Have
you thought of this? You are now
seventeen or eighteen years old.
Have you decided what you are
going to do to earn living? You
should seriously think OF this
Surely you are too undetermined
to be content with anything
short of honestly earning a liv-
ing. None but worthless dudes
and no-account idlers are willing
to merely live on the fortunes
their fathers leave them. Stir
around and do something by
which honestly to earn some
money for yourselves. Remem-
Der, the boys who work and earn
money and save it, are the boys
who, thirty y'ears hence, will be
successful, wealthy citizens. -

UNDERTAKEN, EMBALMER AND
FURNITURE DEALER.

On the West side of Broad street.
Just South of Brinkley's door,
Stands the large, ConnodiOus building
Known as Ziegler's Furniture Store.
He carries a very choice stock,
Of everything, i'll the furniture line,
And also deals in Undertaker's ware,
In finish and style very fine.
And being a Cabinet-maker himself,
Having long served at the trade,
He's always prepared to do new work,
Or repair the old ready-made.
He feels assured, your wishes to please,
And your every taste crafty,
That you'll no longer hesitate,
But make your selections and buy.
At his prices you'll never complain,
Or the terms he offers to sell,
Either at a discount for CASH,
Or installments, if it suits as we'll.
A kind invitation he extends to all,
Especially every new married pair,
To call and examine his beautiful goods
Before making purchases elsewhere.

The Worlds Fair arose like a
gorgeous dream of human genius,
and like a vision it has passed
away. Everyone who saw it will
always cherish its remembrance,
and those who missed the great
opportunity, when they hear
others tell the story will never
cease to deplore the irreparable
loss. That fair lives only in his
tory, never to be reproduced.
The Edenton fair, however, is a
live institution, and its future is
an incentive to lead its managers
to build up for it a reputation
which will bring promise of its
successive exhibitions hereafter,
as we'll as to strive for present
success.
1t is intended as live expo
nent of living things, to continue
annually to represent the yearly
growth and progress of material
things toward perfection. We
wish to be able to so conduct it,
that like unto the Worlds Fair,
those who visit it, may say when
returning, that notwithstanding
our brilliant description oft, in
reality it far exceeds any previous
conception, and in every particu
lar it was better than had been
expected.

would seize me the moment I attempted
