A private note from Kev. N.
B. Cobb says : ‘‘Seven four-horse
wagons pass through Waynes-
ville every day loaded with black
walnut and cheri y logs cut on
Jonathan’s Creek Mountains for
the Mitchell Lumber Co. Some
of these cherry ti ees have been
bought as low as $1.60 aud $2.00
each. Large quantities of fine
lumber have been cut and sawed
and piled up for shipment along
the line of the Ducktown Rail
road waiting for the cars to
come.
Seventeen Indian girls
through Waynesville week be
fore last on their way to Indian
College, at Hendersonville.'’
A W0EKIN& &IRLS' HOME.
Our little city Washington,
(not “big” Washington) seems
to be a little unfortunate of late.
She has been visited by several
fires. The old Wiswall hotel has
been burned, and a store opp -
site. The colored Baptist church
has been destroyed, besides other
fires that were extinguished be
fore much damage could be done.
The colored fire company, the
only one in the town, is said to
have worked nobly, on all ocea-

Sixteen thousand souL have

How favored of the Lord our
people are. No earthquakes. No
plagues of disease. In our days
of prosperity, do we really thank
God for His blessings?
We regret to learn that Mr.
W. S. Grandy, of this town, mot
with a very painful accident a
few days ago. He was attempt
ing to drive a hog out of his gar
den, when he fell, dislocating his
bip. The wound is a very pain
ful one, and will confine Mr, G.
to bis bed for several weeks, but
we hope he may finally reiover.
We clip the following from the
News and Observer in reference
to one of the firms advertised in
the Friend :
“By dint of energy and good
management Mr. Mosley has
built up a fine business here, a
principal feature being the res
taurant, which is certainly con
ducted in a manner to do him
credit and to give all his patrons
much satisfaction. Another
branch of his business is the man
ufacture of ice cream, and in this
he has scored another success.
He supplies many points in this
-section with ice cream of good
ijuality. He deserves his
On last Wednesday two boys
ran away from the Orphan Asy
lum. They were natural rovers.
There was no immediate provo
cation. Both were tired of good
behaviour and the school-room.
It is a little remarkable that the
only boys in the State, who run
away from school, are tho.-e who
get their board and tuition free.
People to whose houses they go
will also give them food and rai
ment and listen to their fictions,
forgetting that they are encour
aging them to run away from
their only hope of learning to
read. Some months ago two
boys ran away and spent a night
with a member of the Grand
Lodge, and next morning several
pel sons insisted on the privilege
of buying their tickets, and one
of them was sent a hundred
miles from his Iriends and rela
tives. But natural tramps will
continue to tramp, |and thought
less persons will continue to en
courage them and at the same
time delude themselves with the
idea that they are doing a work
of charity.
J. H. Mills.
The pastor of St. Vincent's
Church North Front street, the
Rev. Edmund Didier, contem
plates the establishment of a
working girls' home in that par
ish. It 18 intended that it shall
accommodate working girls at
the lowest possible price. Res
pectability and independence
will be the only requisites neces
sary for admission. It will be in
no sense sectarian, a id there will
be no restrictions on the inmates,
but the rules will be such as ev
ery self-respecting person can
cheerfully submit to. Under the
wise direction of a matron the
girls will be permitted to receive
company until 10 P. M. Tran
sient and permanent boarders
will be taken, and it is expected
the establishment will meet all
the requirements of friendless
females in a large or strange
city. Father Didier is now seek
ing a competent matron, and as
soon as he finds one, will furnish
a large house and commence op
erations. It is his intention to
have the home du,ly incorpora
ted, and after the first year ho
thinks it will be self-sustaining.
It will not only give respectable
girls a good home, but will serve
as an intelligence office for such as
may want the services of young
girls in their families.—Baltinio

VARIETIES.
To achieve the greatest and wor
thiest results, man must die to
himself, must cease to exist in his
own thoughts. Not until he has
done this does he begin to do aught
that is great and commendable.
There was a sad scene witness
ed in a Wisconsin court-room
the other day. A manacled
young man convicted of mur'
der, stood up to be sentenced.
As the kind-hearted judge re"
ferred to the sorrowing moth
er, the prisoner wept like a
child. When the sentence
was pronounced, state prison
for life, he shuddered and al
most fell to the ground, at the
thought of the living death
awaiting him.
The youth was not a ‘rough;’
the police did not even call
him a ‘bad one.’ He was a
smart boy, but he drank and
gambled. He did not mar-«
der his victim in cold blood,
but when drunk with whiskey
and maddened by loss at the
gambling table
There are scores of smart
boys who are beginning the
terrible end, where waits the
entombling cell or the gibbet
of death. If they would gaze
on the heart-broken mother,
listen to the clank of the
youth’s manacles as he shud
ders at his sentence, they
might realize that they are
going, as he went, to destruc
tion. The man never lived
who beat whiskey and the ta
ro-bank, and continued their
slave.
The uprising of an eternal
world to be conquered, to b(3
educated and civilized and
Christianized, has drawn the
Church away from itself,away
from its distinctions and defi
nitions, and thus away from
the ill-feelings that such
words engender. The indi
vidual heart always climbs a
height when it ceases to think
only of self and embarks upon
some other sea. Hence the
German maxim; “Look not
inward but outward,not back
ward but forward, not down
ward but up-” It is the soul
that looks always upon i s
own thoughts and feeling,that
finds the most unhappiness in
the world, and that narrows
the stream of life into a rill
rather than widen it into a
sea. The old inquiry was:
What do I believe? What do
you believe ? The new ques
tion is: WhMt can I do?
What can you do for man
kind? Small inquiries as to
the number of words, but so
vast in meaning that the
Church has been transformed
and redeemed by them. The
abstruse in theology has been
displayed by the welfare of
man Questions of education,
questions of suffrage, ques
tions of benevolence, of rag
ged schools, of liberty, of la
bor and of home life have ris*-
en and consigned to obscurity
the useless themes of our fa
thers. The modern Church
is too busy to quarrel, tbe old
Church was too idle to avoid
bad humor. The smaller a
mind the greater its ill-nature
- -the smaller a religion the
more intolerate its life. The
Church has moved upward by
moving outward—
Little Lottie was swinging back
and forth on the doors when she
fell, she set up a loud screaming,
and mamma came running to in
quire what was the matter. “Oh,
nothing,” said grandma, “only
Lottie lost her balance.” Lottie
instantly stopi-ed crying and be
gan diligently searching around
the room. “What are you hun
ting for, Lottie?” said grandma.
“I’m looking for my balance,” re
plied Lottie; “you said I lost it,
and 1 want to tied it.”
BUFFALO LlTHIA WATER
A country deacon, of a snug lit-
tie fortune, was very much annoy
ed during prayers by a city dandy
who u as carrying on a flirtation
with his youngest daughter. Sud-
denly he felt that he could bear it
no longer, and raising his voice to
its highest pitch he prayed: “An’
now, O Lord, have mercy on the
dum idiot with the store clothes on
as is winking at our Alice, an’
keep him bangin’ round the chui-ch
door when service is over till I can
git to him an’ put a head on him.
Amen.’’
The young man picked up bis
hat and went home.
The parent or the teacher who
inflicts penalties as an outlet for
his own impatience or displeasure
is utterly incapable of the task he
has assumed. The good or the
school of the family, the good of
the erring child—these motives,
and these only, should prompt
even the mildest penalty. Witli
these objects held close at heart,
the judicious parent or teacher
will find so many other avenues
open, so many other motives ef
fectual, the punishment will bo
rarely needed, and only as a tem
porary reso rt.

RHEUJBATIC COUT.
G^eof Dr. J. A. ffanbrj, of Patrick C, H., Va., stated by himself:
For four years I was afflicted with Rheumatic Gout to an extent which in
capacitated me entirely for the discharge of the duties of my profession, and
was finally reduced to such a condition as to subject me for the most part to
confinement to my bed. By the advice of one of my medical attendants, aud
emphatically as a dernier resort, I determined to make use of the Bulfalo Lithia
Water, Spring No. 2,1 am frank to say without faith in its virtues, having but
httle confidence in mineral waters. The use, however, of a iew cases of the
water was attended bybenellcial results, so remarkable, that I was soon able to
be out of bed and upon my feet, aud my improvement has coutiiuuMl until I am
now actively engaged m the practice of my prolession, meeting witlumt any
unusual inconvenience all the exposure and hardship ineulenfc to the life ol a
mountain country. I cannot, in candor, do otherwise than ascribe my recovery
solely to this water, the value of which 1 regard as beyond estimation.”
