Opportunities and Possibiities-The Virtue
of Unity and Powers Of Concert
of Action.
Daily Argus, Monday, Oct IL.
The GoIdsboro chamber of commerce, organized last week, end now
full-fedged for action, meets at the City Hall to- morrow night for its
first monthly conference. 1t is to be hoped that not a member will
be absent and, that every prospective member, as we'll, will be pres
ent.
What this organization portends for Goldsboro and this whole Sec
ton of country-for Eastern North Carolina, is not to be comprised
by the narrow confines of a a newspaper article. The Immediate pros
pect itself is full of hope and encouragement; not to speak of the oc-
casions that may arise or the opportunities that the organization can
create as we come to know one another better and realize the power
of our united effort through these monthly conferences. 1t is there
fore that the ARGUS urges every business man and every professional
man and every progressive citizen to attend this meeting of the Cnan-
Der OF Commerce to morrow night.
1t IS true that we are experiencing ard have had a long ordeal of
hard times, and, doubtless, many of US have become hopeless o r IN
hard times are not SO often bad times. That they are a curse, and
undesirable, to the extent that they r. almost invariably a punish

ing, in that they teach the valuable lesson of economy and patience,
cannot be ignored or denied. The fact is hat the condition of oday
is entirely dependent upon, grows out of, and takes its character from
the nature of the life of yesterday. Extravagant expenditure in pi-
vate efairs always results in deprivation and want in the home; az
wild meth DDS in the conduct of business never fail to create disorder
and disaster in finance, commerce and trade. The hard times of the
past few years are the vertiication of the truth of this assertion.
Never in the history of the world did people live 81 regardlessly, was
business conducted so recklessly, as in this nation during the decade
preceding 1890. The blessing of this experience is that in its en-
durance has been sown the seed in the fruition of which will be reap

Monument to a PIG.

Until within the last few months no
monument has ever been erected to the
memory of a pig. The town of Lune berg,
Hanover, wished to fill up the blank.
and at the Hotel de Vile in that town
there is to be seen a kind of mauso-
leum to the memory of the porcine race.
In the interior of the commemorative
structure is costly glass case in

A slab of black marble attracts the
eye of the visitor, who finds thereon
the following inscription in Latin, T.

CONTRACTING BUTTER.
How to Secure Good Average Price the
Year Round.

Year Round.
There is scarcely any farm butter
maker having a reputation for making
a good article and living within few
miles of an ordinary western country
town who cannot find regular Gus.
toner or customers who will take but
ter the year around at good price
which will be good round average
price for the year, says the Homestead.
All that is necessary to make contract
ing of this kind easy is that the butter
maker establish a record for having
everything nice and clean, and for pro-
ducing a quality that is both good and
uniform. The price that can be secured
in this way is always considerably bet
ter than the ordinary way of selling to
the grocer or store keeper. As prac.
teal question, it is subject to only one
draw back, and that is from the side Of
the customer. We have known good
many town people who contracted for
their butter this way and very com
mon complaint among them was that
they always get their butter if the
price to be paid was little better than
the stores and groceries were paying
but when, with the change of the sea-
son, the price rose until the store keeper
or grocer was paying a little above the
agreed average price, the butter maker
very commonly reported that the cows
were failing and he did not have any
butter to deliver under the contract.
Of course, if one practices this species
of dishonesty he will find it difficult to
make contracts of this kind for regular
delivery, and a reputation not only for
cleanliness and good uniform quality
is necessary, but also reputation for
strictly carving out contracts as made.

Napoleon,s Fifth War with Austria

Ostensibly this war was to be unlike
any other SO far waged. The secret in
structions given to the imperial Aus
trian envoy in London clearly indicate
that the Hapsburgs hoped by victory
to restore their influence both in Italy
and Germany; for that was the mean
ing of restitution to the rightful
owners and the slight rectifcation OF
their frontiers" or, in other words, the
restoration of European condi ions To
what they had been before NaFoleon's
advent. This was the dynastic side;
the national side was also to be used fer
it's purposes. "The liberties of Europe
have taken refuge under your banner"
ran Charles proclamation to the army;
your victories will break their bonds,
and your German brethren still in the
enemy ranks await their redemption. !"
To the German world he said: Austria
fights not only for her own autonomy,
but takes the sword fer the independ-
ence and national honor of Germany"
Another manifesto, written by Cent?,
the ablest statesman in Vienna, declared
that the war was to be waged not
against France, but against the system
of persistent extension which bad pro-
duced such universal disorder in Eu-
rope.-Prof. Sloane, in Century.
