The Bank of Oxford has de- elared a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent. Mr. J. H. Mills has received his commission as representative of the Grand Lodge of Idaho in the Gr^d Lodge of North Car olina. We note with pleasure the improvements that are being made on the streets and side walks of Oxford. The Henderson Classical, Mathematical and Commercial School of T. J. & W. D. Horner an announcement in this e. Bead it. Prof. Sam’l. Clement, a distin guished educator has been on a visit to relatives and friends in Granville. Ho is a brother of Mr. T. D. Clement, of Oxford. The mineral lands of upper Granville and Person are attrac ting a great -deal of attention The copper ore 8hi{>ped from that section is reported to be very valuable. The ware-houses at Oxford, Henderson, Durham and Win ston are handling large quantities of leaf tobacco. The prices reali zed by the fanners are said to be very high. We have received volumn I, number I, of the “Masonic Home Journal.” Published semi’ monthly at Louisville, Ky., un der the auspices of the Masonic Widows and Orphans^ Home. -It a neat and well printed paper, and should be sustained. In our last issue we inadver tently omitted to allude to the advertisement of Greensboro Fe male College. This Institution has grown more vigorous with age, and its friends can now rest assured of its permanent founda tion. The President, Rev. T. M Jones, is known all over our State by his works. Bead the adver tisement and send for catalogue. It is a pleasure to direct atten tion to the advertisement of the Wesleyan Female Institute, Staunton, Va. Located in one of the healthiest climates, it pre sents attractions unsurpassed, 't’he School has a large patronage, and has made great reduction in the cost of education. in the South has been erected and is equipped with the best apparatus. A first-class Bath House is nearly ready. We are glad to see a Noith Carolina en terprise so progressive and so successful. See adv. EDUCATIONAL. THOUGHTS. Cast your burden on the Lord and then take the burden of an other upon your shoulders, and He will enable you to bear it. Georgia is discussing the pos- sibilityof establishing a technolog ical school. Such schools are now needed throughout the South. Our new social system demands baudicrafts and the handicraft- men should be dra vn from the ranks of our own youth.— and Obs. The advertisement of Horner School, Oxford, N. C., appears in this issue. This institution is to be commended for the good work done for its pupils. We are glad to place it among the schools advertised by us, and we bespeak for it a liberal patronage. The Fifth Annual Masonic, Pic-nic at “Clement Grove,” within one half mile of Mocks- ville, N. 0., will be held Wed nesday, July 25th. This Pic nic will be under the auspices of Mocksville and Farmington Lodges A. F. & A. M., and its object to raise funds for the Ox ford Orphan Asylum. There will be an interesting ^vrogramme of exercises. Hon. M. H. Pinnix, of Lexington, has consented to deliver the address. Gov. Z. B. Vance has also been invited. The department of refreshments will be under the charge of Maj. W- B. Clement, and the whole profit of his sales will be given to the Orphans. Everybody ia invited. Exercises to begin at 10 A. M. Industrial Education.—The theory of industrial education is being worked out in St. Louis Manual Training nSchool with marked success. From the open ing of the school in 1880, when 67 pupils were in attendance, the numbers have increased to 173, and it is expected that next year as many as 200 will be taught. Of the boys who graduated this spring 26 have taken the full three year’s course. For one year they were wood workers; one year they were all smiths; and the last year they were all machinists or engi neers. At least one-third of them will continue their studies in the Polytechnic School of the uuivers- ity. Other cities than St. Louis aro beginning to follow her exam ple, and the attention of iiublic men is being more and drawn to the imporiaut matter of training the young iu the industrial arts. Mr. William Walter Phelps, in i recent address at Patterson, N. J., expressed himself very strongly on this point. “It is time in the history of the country,” heremai k- ed, “to take another step forward. It is the State’s duty not only to give the pupil the literary rudi ments, which shall enable him to know how to vote, but also to give him the rudiments of iudus- irial learning so that he may earn his living. There must not only be the public school that teaches him to read and write, but there must be the industrial school that teaches him how to work, or, v^hat is better and simpler, the one public school should have a d.iviaion of time, so that iu cer tain hours the children should be taught to think, iu others to work.”—N. Y. Obs. If thou hast a Christ iu thy heart, a cross on thy shoulder, a world under thy feet, and a heav en in thy eye, thou art the hapjjy man. The Wilson Masonic Cel- ! Wesleyan Female Institute, If the Lord is iny light and iiiy salvation I need fear no evil. Tie has overcome the world and Satan and His victory by my faith be comes mine. Watch and pray. This provides for both the human and divine side, watch to see what you need ofcomfbrt, strength, of all grace, and then pray for it. Depend upon it, we shall get nothing in the realm of bread and butter, without working for it. If God with his divine favor re gards the ehurch as the apple of His eye, 1 may' well be sedulously careful not’ to bring a reproach npon her or utter''a fiip])ant re proach against her. One of the members of a lurch not far from this town icently went out West. In a rivate letter he requests a friend ad brother to petition to his aurch for a letter of dismission, md iu the same lette/ he adds : I do'not like this country much; aere istoomuch whiskey-drink- ig here. Sometimes I sell as inch as two barrels a day.” hould the church grant the de- red letter? The Postmaster General has put a stop to the sending of mon ey by registered letters or post office money orders to the Lou isiana Lottery Co. There is also a ] fight between the Louisiana Lottery Co. and the Kentucky Lottery Co. The Courier Jour nal exposed the latter not long ago and explained to the public the fiagrant course of fraud which it had lieen practicing on a too credulous public. We advise our people to ; keep their money in their pockets rather than be fleeced by institutions: that the government denies the privilege of using registered letters and post-office money ordei.’s. Bingham School Catalogue is received. There were 258 pu pils in attendance iu 1882, 140 from North Carolina, and 118 attracted from other States by the steadily increasing fame of the School. The New Buildiogf are much better than those burn ed a year f^o, and a.re lighted with Gas. The best Gymn^um Wbai have you that you did not receiveP How this question should keep us humble. And if we have received largely, a sense of increased responsibility should keep us more humble aud prayer ful. The family, the state, the church —three institutions of divine ap pointraeiit. How imperfectly they do their God appointed woric, aud yet how indispeiisbale. If we overthrow them what can human wisdom substitute? The leaders of mankind liave had to tread a blackened and scorched path of suffering, and we enter into their labors without their sorrows. White robes of earthly ' saintship, like those of heaven, are only gained through ^uch ‘Lribulation. Every tiling good costs self denial. That which thou dost not un derstand when thou readcst, thou shalt understand in the day of thy visitation. For many secrets of religion ase not perceived till they be felt, and are not felt but in the day of gre.at cij>lainity. ODDS AND ENDS. Did the prophet Isaah ever eat at a railroad station? It certainly looks so, tor how could he have described it so literally if he had not? “Aud he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied.” Willie has a four year-old sister, Mary, who complained to mamma that her button shoes were hurting her. “Why, Mattie, you’ve pul them on the wrong feet.” Puzzled and ready to (;ry, she made an swer: “What’ll I do, mamma? They’s all the teet I’ve got.’’ An old Irish soldier, who prided himself upon his bravery, said he had fought in the battle of Bull Run. When asked if he had re treated and made good his escape, af) others did on that famous oc casion, he replied: “Those that didn’t run are there yit!” A young lady, on leaving a con cert recently, expressed hei de light with the excellent music,and said that she was particularly pleased with “that piece from the Twelfth Massachusetts,” meaning Mozart’s “Twelfth Mass.” “When I look at the quackery and speciosity of the times, I le- termine to cast all tolerance to the winds,” said Carlyle iu a conver sation just reported. “My dear fellow,” said Sterling, slyly. “I had no idea you had any to cast.” EBRATION.—Alluding to tl.e celebration of St, John’s Day in Wilson, the Advance says “On Monday nighr, the Me morial address was delivered b}’ Eugene S. Martin, Enq., a talented young lawyer from Wilmingto:'. His address was ornate, practical and interes ting in tlie highest; degree. We have lieard competent judges pronounce it the best Masonic address ever deliv ered in Wilson. The orator was gracefully introduced by our eloquent Dr. .R. W. King who was master of C'lremo- nies. The public installation of officers followed. The in stallation ceremonies were conducted by Horace H. Mun son, Esq., of Wilmington. This interesting ceremony, conducted with so much so lemnity, was made especially imuressive. Staunton, ViRGiNiA. Opens September 20th, 1883.

Try it if j'ou.iie- siie to be healthy, strong and expe rience its remarkable curative qualities. When God is about to bestow some great blessing on his Church, it is often his manner so to oi'iler tibings iu his providence, ns to show his Church their great need of it, and so put them upon crying earnestly to him for it. It is one thing to be familiar with a saint dnd another to be in fellowship with God; saints may be separated from their compan ions, but God will not castaway his i.upplioants. “What do you know of the char acter of this man ?” was asked of a witness at a police court, the other day. • “What do I know of his character? 1 know it to be unb\emhable, yer honor,” replied he, with emphasis. WORDS THAT STAIN. A small brush of cameVs hair had been dipped into a fluid in which VI as some nitrate of silver, or “caustic/' as it is sometimes called. The brush was wiped upon a white sheet. Pretty soon there appeared a black stain up on the white surface. It did not look very dark at first, but the action of the light seemed to deepen the colour until it was an ugly spot that could not be washed out nor bleached out in a whole summer. A bright lad heard a vile word aud an impure story. He thought them over. They became fixed in his memory, and they lett a stain that could not be washed out by all the waters of this great round earth. Do not allow yourself to listen to vile, “smutty” stories or uii- qlean words. There are persons who seem to take an evil delight in repeating such things ; und those who willingly listen to them receive a stain upon their memory. To give an ear to fil thy talkers is to share their sin. Do not lend your ear to be tilled with shameful words amJ vile stories. HOPELESSLY INCORRIGIBLE. The members of the B'uo liib- bon Army are capable ol a joke, though it takes all the cnoigy out of them for the next fort night to get through with the article. At a certain railway terminus in England, wiiere strict temperance had been im posed upon the employees, they proposed to give a moral lesson to a local celebrity, who came into the office, sat down while iu a bad way from old port, and went to 8 eep. They, carelnlly I,,ok him down stairs, put him. in the coal-cellar, an I locked the door. In two or three hours he woie op, and was heard tum bling about among the coals. Then the listeners outside lioard him inquire: “Where am I?’'’ to this one of fhem returned an answer in a sepulchral tone, J )ead!” After a pause the gen tleman, who had not evidently lost his wits, inquired: “Are ^ou dead, too?'’ The man out side ,the cellar-door in still more sepulchral tones, rejoined: “I After another pause came the inquiry: “How long hawe you been dead?” The sepuleliral one rejoined; “Six months.’’ To l.he horror of the listener the gentleman in the cellar as sumed a I air of quiet content ment, and asked iu cheery and comfortable .fones: “Well, as you have been longerhere than I have, can, you tell me where I can get a little tine old port?” .
