An exchange is either very observant
or extremely hard-hearted. 1t says
that short sermon will attract more
attention than good one. And it
might have gone further and remarked
that bad sermon Tor anything else
Tor that matter.} will attract more at
tentiOn than a good one. Strange isn't

nature, to take note of the defects in
stead of the virtues, to speak of the
bad instead of the good in our fellow
man.
1t must be admitted that Eli got

and the necessity fof interfering these
matters together with indicate Jokes
bordering on to yulgarity, in a mar
ratlve Of the manners and customs Of
the Ollve-complected, Acknowledged peO-
pies Of the Orient, is what larger

DR.. NOwitzky, the great and only
George |, well and favorably known
all over North Carolina and equally
popular wherever known, was with us
a few days this week. AS usual he
had large crowds around him whenever
he mounted the = hurricane deck'' of
an open buggy and poured forth streams
of fervld oratory, philosophy, wit and
humor as only he can do, incidental to
dispensing his famous medicinal prepa-
rations and literary works. Much to
the regret Of his friends here among
whom he had not been for several
months past the genial Doctor left last
evening for Durham.
Senator White, of Louisiana, who
has inst been elevated to the Associate
Justlceship of the United States Su-

near Emmetsburg, Md. Mr.. Hart
maier was there in IS57-'5S-'59, dur
ing portion of which time Mr.. White
was also a student of the same insti-
tuition. We note another fact in this
connection and that is that Senator
White was IS years old last November,
while Mr.. IIartmaicr was IS in Sep
TENDER. 1t is now in order for our
townsman to send congratulations to
his former college associate.

father, near McLeansville, Guilford
county, until he decides where he will
locate or what he will do. A moral,

wherever he may 60 the highest re-
CARDS and best wishes of the GOLD
