AT THE oUNrR CLUB.
Charming Goldsboro Ladies Host
esses at a Reception-A Small
Wreck
Especial to The Messenger.)


Goidsboro, N. c.. December s1--Of all
the Christmas festivities that have
been given in this city the most decfd-
edly unique and enjoyable was the
luncheon given at the Country Club to-
day by Mesdames Walter r. Borden
and Joseph E. Robinson and Misses
Mabel Borden. SalHe Kirby, Matte
Lee and Daisy Smith.
About seventy-fve ladies responded
to their invitations and assembled at
h home of Mrs. Borden in the morn
ing, where carriages were awaiting and
were driven to the beautiful countrJ
club, about four miles from the city.
1t was an ideal day, the weather being
crisp and bracing, to produce the keeE-
est appreciation OF the roaring yule
logs Of the merry Christmas tide. The
reception hall was tastefully d~ecorateS
with holly, pine n bamboo, and the
daintiest refreshments were served.
Gobolink was the first amusement io-
dulged in, each guest being given A
piece Of paper on which a drop of nj
had been blotted, making strange and
different ca~ricatures, upon which the
hostess requested rhymes of four lines
to be made. Some Of them were verv
original and funny and caused the
greatest merriment. The prize was
awarded to Mrs. James Allen, Charadts
and other games followed in order and
ii was a matter of much regret that
the time was all too short and sped 100
quickly. Mrs. William Douglas, In her
characteristic graceful style RECALLED
the merry company with a witty
speech, thanking the hostesses for the
joyous occasion n expressing the
hope that it would be repeated at an
early day. After the club yell.

The Atlantic and North Carolina rail-
road had a small wreck today just as
the morning passenger train was an
preaching the usual stopping place in
front of the Hotel Kennon. Just afte~
passing the Mulberry street crossing,
the front wheels Of the hindmost truck
under the second class coach jumped
the track at the switch and bumped
along on the cross ties for one hundred
yards. No damage Of consequence Was
done, but the passengers on that a
were very much frightened and shaken
up considerably. The slow speed at
which the train was running prevented
very serious trouble.

A Deed and Word

A little stream had lost it's way
Amid the grass and fern;
a passing stranger scooped a we'll,
Where weary men might turn;
He walled it i'll and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that all might drink.
He passed again, and 10! the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parchin:
tongues
And saved a life beside.
A nameless man amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall word of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath
1t raised brother from the dust,
1t saved soul from death.
o germ; o fount! o word of love!
o thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.

The Tempt. of Success.

Inc tempt. Of Success.
There are no elevators in the Temple
of Success!
You cannot blunder in the door waif
of Carelessness,
And ,lounging on a cushion seat,
dreamer out of time,
Ascend like floating thistle, on the
meadow-you must climb!
Behold the winding stairway!-it is
narrow, long and steep;
And these weary Failures coming
down that sigh and weep;
Forward! and on! and up the steps!
and through the crowded press!
There are no elevators in the Temple
of Success!
He that is coming down with heavy
feet and broken heart,
Once strove to reach the highest story,
rich with gems of art;
But, half the height assembled, he gave
up his pride and place,
And, turning, started backward on an
easy, downward pace.
If you gain the pinnacle, nor lag nor
stop to ask:
How many reach the top? How many
falter in the task?'
Forward! and up!-each mounted step
is one to mount the less
There are no elevators in the Temple
of Success!
Down where the spiral stair begins,
still loit'ring by the door,
Are pilgrims who arrived with you, or
entered in before;
They gaze about the temple-while
they grumble, fret and wait
For guides to pilot them about, the
hour is growing late.
Above the Turing gardens, on the roof; ;
the sunny sky
Is shining on the flowers, and the
breeze is sweet and high;
Alas! your brothers linger in the
shades of lowliness-
There are no elevators in the Temple
of Success!
Not all that enter in the door, and
tread the lordly halls
Shall pluck the hunted edleweiss from
the tower and tulret- walls;
Not all shall reach the garden on the
roof, and open sky
But these shall be the few of the null
titudes that TRY!
Seek not to reach the summit with the
Dragoman of Pelf-
The only guide to follow here is Con-
fidence in Self;
Forget the avalance of all that fall
from WEAKNESS,
And climb the winding stairway in
the Temple of Success!
