: THE COURT HOUSE AT FAIR

Of all the fool things the county
commissioners of GuiIford county
ever did the court house contract
was the worst. 1t seems that this
honorable aud supposed -to-be wise
board let the contract to firm with
absolutely no strings tied to the
proposition as to when it would be
completed or as to what it would
cost, and turned down an absolute
ly fair proposition of a man who
has built over half a hundred court
houses and half as many jails. This
gentleman agreed to make plans and
specifications and execute the work
to the entire satisfaction of the
board or not one penny would be
asked. The price was to be S276, :
600. Could anything be fairer than
an absolute guarantee of satisfac-
ton? Under the contract let the
court house may cost half million,
certainly not less than 100000.
Are the taxpayers of GuiIford coun-
ty going to stand for such high
jinks' proposition J? 1t doesn't look
good On the face of the proposition
for the board to sanction such an
indefinite procedure, and of course
the people are bound to have their
views on such matters.
To the credit of Commissioner W.
C Jones of this city, and w. C.
Tucker, of Pleasant Garden, be it
said,th5y fought the proposition and
was for the one that guaranteed alb
solute satisfaction at a given price.
In the meantime GullfOrd county
is paying over ten thousand dollars
a year for rental of the present old
court house building, this represent
ing 6 per cent interest on purchase
price, and it should be to the adj
vantage of the taxpayers of Gull
ford to get the new tn lding CON-
pleted as early as possible to stop
this high rent, even if it does not
materially concern the board

IF ONLY

The inner side of every cloud
Is bright and shining;
I therefore turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out
To show the lining.
If you can't have what you like,
| like what you have. But that's just
what the. majority of Us don't do
Instead of resolutely making UP our
minds to like what we have, our
lives are one continual lament that
we can't have what we like or think
we should like. Distance lends en-
Ichantment to the view, sometimes.
1t is wonderful into what discon-
tented grumblers we can degenerate
too, once let on selves 60. and forget
to look for the silver Innings of our
lives. It's the easiest thing in the
world to cure oneself of the habit,
once it has got hold of one.
And the worst of il is that people
who grumble not only make them
selves utterly miserable, but are ex-
tremely unpleasant to live with, and
make things miserable for other
people, too.
The husband of the IF only" wo-
man is the man 20 be sincerely pit
led. Her children, likewise, are in
need of help. Fancy bright youth
compelled to spend its days with a
mother who is always lamenting the
fact that she hasn't and can't have
what she likes! If. they don't grow
up to be peesimists it certainly ism t
her fault; and imagine what pleasure
it would give you to return to such
a home. My dear friends, if you're
in the habit of wearing your silver
inside, do make up your minds to
turn your clouds about That sill
yer lining would be so much more
inspiring. so much more cheerful, TO
live with, than the cloud side you
so petsistently turn to the world.
No. Make up your mind that
whatever you may have done in the
past you will in the future wear
your clouds inside out, and show
the lining" We all have clouds,
but that is no reason why we should
draw the attention of the world to
them. 1t is the brave, cheerful SOL
diers who inspire the others. So if
you can't get what you like, deter
mine to like what you have or, at
all events, to make the best of it
and 60 on your way bravely, with
out complaining.

You don't have to pay the full
amount for bond when you apply
for one.
You pay only two per cent OF the
value of the bond. If you apply for
$50 bond you pay only ST down.
If it is for 500 bond you pay So;
while it is SIS for a $3.50 bond, $40
for $500 bond, 500 for $1,000
bond. You can pay the rest when
you get the bond ON June Is, or you
can pay it in installments that. you
can meet easily. The banks of High
Point have a plan by which you
can secure bonds by paying weekly
the amount of the first payment on
the bond.
A Liberty bend is the safest thing
in the world for you and it will help
guard the safety of democracy thru

That's what a liberty bond is.

BETTER THAN CASH AND EASY

Bear these facts in mind.
A Liberty bond is as good as gold.
1t is backed up by the American
nation.
1t can be sold at any time at full
value.
If you own Liberty bond you
own something that is better than
eash-fOr it will be drawing interest
at 81 per cent every minute. Leave
out the patriotism and those who
buy will have made wise invest
ment
1t is a loan to your government
and there isn't any better person to
whom to loan money than Uncle
Ssm.
Uncle Sam is ALL THE AMERI-
CAN PEOPLE. This war is the war
of all the American people. Il is up
to ALL the American people to win
this war, and one of the first things
that must be done is to get every
Liberty bond sold and get the money
into the United States Treasury.
A Liberty bond will never be q

Will always be money land by. YOU
can leave 1t there, drawing interest
or IN emergency you can sell it.

ARREST OF A THIEF.

A man named Sheridan, a transient person mailing from the South, was arrested in this city Wednesday night, on charge of stealing an overcoat from the store of Mr. Wer- ner, 78 Water street. The coat when taken, was on frame standing just outside the store door. The thief took coat. frame and, all, and carried them unobserved around the corner into Bank street. He here unbuttoned the coat, but before he could get away with it, he was accosted by boy, who charged him with stealing it and threatened to tell the owner. The promise of 50 cent stamp, however. was sufficient, to secure his silence, until, from the actions of the thief, 1t became evident that the stamp would not be forthcoming, when he informed MT. Werner. MT. Werner immediately pursued the thief and was fortunate enough to overtake him in the alley leading out of Bank street. MT. Werner got his coat, but the boy didn't get his 50 cents.

THE DIVINE HEALER"

August Shrader, "the divine heal er," invaded the unhalloWed and skeptic portals of Bridgeport this forenoon for the purpose of healing the unhealed. How long he will re- main here depends. He and his brother, Frank, are occupying an up- per room in the boarding house at 317 Broad street and one has to climb two narrow flights of stairs to see him. '"rhe Divine Healer is a striking figure. He wears long hair and parts it in the middle He also wears a full beard. His costume is striking. It is a long black robe and about that again is a red cloth over one shoulder, which he partly wraps about him. His hair and his cos- tune are a counterpart of the recog- nized figure of the Saviour as por- trayed in pictures.
 The first impression one has on seeing him is that the attire is sacra- ligious because it is too like that we associate with, the Divine Being. But MT. Shrader is mild spoken and af- fable and the disagreeable impression vanishes when he speaks His eyes are black. MT. Shrader claims to cure simply by laying his hands on the afflicted parts. He blesses han kerchiefs and the said hankerchiefs possess the same virtues as does the laying on his hands. He is only 25 years old, but looks older because of his beard and long hair. He general ly wears small crucifx about his neck O

FIVE HOURS LATE.

The train which left New Haven at 3 D., m. yesterday reached here at o'clock having been five hours in making the passage. The train which left New York at p. m. reached here at g o'clock in the evening. Both trains had two locomotives and four passenger cars, filled with as many as could be seated-and as hungry a set of beings as have lately been seen. However, Buckley was prepared for them and readily supplied all their calls. At late hour another train for New Haven came through on good time, and proceeded without de- lay towards New York. The two morning trains from New Haven were united into one, and made the run to this city in nearly the usual time. Aytrain composed of three To- comotives and a baggage car, was sent from New Haven at half past nine and came through to Bridgeport in 27 minutes. It proceeded on to Norwalk for the purpose of clearing the track.

To say that the general govern ment is alone entrusted by the con- stitution with the bowen and means of providing for general defence, is to deny the application of those or dinary precautions which self re- spect and self defence impose on each state. With it was participate equally in the responsibility of guard with her we ought to unite our ef- forts for a general defence.
 I cannot pass over this occasion without again calling the attention of the legislature to the propriety of power competent from it's resources to fulfill the high destination of be- ing the bulwark of the state. Re- cent events have confirmed that opin- ion by practical illustrations; when under competent commanders, the militia have been led through priva- tions, fatigue and peril, to the ac- complishment of many of the most important military operations. On former occasions some of the de- fects of the existing militia laws have been presented to the legislature, and endeavors have been made to show that they are incompetent to the ob- jects contemplated. and in time of war operate unequally. cannot forbear remarking that no period can be better adapted to revision of our military code, than through the pres ent tranquil state of the country. Our exposure to attack. ands the difficulty of commanding our resources when assailed, present strong inducements for cooperation with the United States in giving form and effect to that system of defence which in tho opinions of the framers of the con stitution, was calculated for those of the emergencies of the nation.
