Communicated,

Thursday the 10th of November
would have been the 10Th birthday
of Vernice Young, had he lived to
that time. A number of his young
friends who loved him so we'll in
this life, and who cherished his
memory so tenderly, met at his
grave and decorated it with beau
tiful flowers, which he loved so
much, and which are emblematic
of his sweet and noble life. They
too will wither like he withered;
ashes to ashes and dust to DUST
But Vernice is not here; he is
risen. In a bright, a glorious
mansion, he is waiting for the
coming home Of many loved ones.
No more temptation, no more
wanderings in rough and lonely
ways, no more weariness, pain or
sorrow. At home forever, where
all is joy and love and peace.
Bring your flowers, dear friends,
and lay them on his grave as a
tribute to a loved one. He will
not return, but you can 60 to him.
Sleep on in peace, thy race is run,
Thou flower so soon departed;
Sweet be the sleep of death to thee,
So young, so guileless hearted.
Sleep on, thy last, long, quiet sleep
A deep and dreamless slumber,
While o'er thee bloom and fade shall
pass
And years their days shall number.
Fond hearts still keep their loving
watch
Ger all thy lonely sleeping;
And eyes that longed to see thy face.
For thee are often weeping.
Then rest thee in thy quiet bed,
Till in the judgemnt morning,
Thy dust shall rise to meet thy king,
In robes of fair adorning.

It is because Of the cry OF hu-
manity on every hand, affecting
the deepest and tenderest senti-
ments of our nature, tnat we an
swer the question: Why are the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions trying to induce the young
peoples societies of the land to ac-
knowledge and accept the respon-
sibility of temperance work, when
they already have SO much on hand
to accomplish in the social, relig-
ious and political worldi Because
the best interests of the three great
spheres mentioned are implied in
the destruction of the liquor traffic.
We consider the temperance
question to be the vital issue of the
hour, far transcending in impor-
tance any subject that relates mere
ly to mans material gain. This
comprehends not only his moral
and physical well-being in life, but
the eternal welfare of his soul; and
we rate any conservatism on the
subject as criminal neglect of the
best and highest interests of pres
ent and future generations. We
are studying the question of pro-
lection in another light than that
ordinarily thrown upon it. We
are interested in a currency of
thought and action which is based
on intrinsic values of soul and
body; and we believe with one of
our writer's, that prohibition of the
liquor traffic stands for the protec-
tion of the women, of the boys and
of the 'homes of this country. 1t
stands for the free coinage of gol-
den womanhood and silver man
hood at ratio of equality, into
the highest standard of American
citizenship. The moral trend of
humanity is of paramount import
ance. It is that upon which the
perpetuity of a nation is founded.
And while under the protection of
state and nation, the liquor traffic
erects its citadels for the destruc
ton of morality upon the most
conspicuous corners of the high
ways, consuming sixty thousand
souls and twelve millions of money
every year in this country alone.
To whom then shall we "cry
aloud and spare not?" To the
young, surely, in words of warning
for we remember their youth and
inexperience; in appeals for help
for we appreciate their innocence
and enthusiasm; in accents of
hope, for we look to them in their
enlightened purity to redeem the
mistakes and folly of the past as a
nation; we look to them to restore
the fair name of the church as con-
sistent followers of that great Re-
former whose name we bear. Be-
cause these truths which make
for righteousness" are always born
among minorities and are always
unpopular with the multitude,
those who profess to DO living for
the betterment of mankind must
certainly strive for the creation of
majorities; strive through every
influence which may be brought to
bear upon the individual and the
home. Young people, we appeal
to you. This is a living question,
and if you see in it that which
blasts the lives, imperils the souls,
destroys the homes, pauperizes and
degrades the people-and you can
see naught else-then, up! in the
name of the living God. and by
your Individual influence, down
this traffic to the depths to which
it belongs. G.

The Right Spirit

The Ashley & Bailey Company, Of
New York, advertise in The Fayette-
vile Observer for bids for furnishing
building material for a silk mill which
they contemplate erecting at Fayette-
vile.
In Connection with the mill project
The Fayetteville Observer Of FRIDAY
contained the following under the cap
ton Of 1.-THE Right Spirit" and we can
add that it is to be commended to the
public spirited people of Wilmington:
When Mr. Ashley enquired of DR..
Il. M. Hunter the price of the land
which he wished to purchase from him,
the doctor named the sum which he
a paid for the property, but added
tnat, II necessary to induce MI. Ash
ley to come to Fayetteville, he would
make him a deed to the property for
nothing. 1t will be recalled that an
other patriotic gentleman said the same
thing to Mr.. Holt when the latter was
prospecting here. That is the right
spirit; it is public spirit, the highest
civic virtue"
