Raleigh wants a tobacco mar ket. There is probably much fine tobacco land in Wake coun ty, and with the proper stef'fc. by the fanners, she will succeed. Who will send the Ohrisf mas toys to the orphans this year ? Col Beasley has done efficient work for them for several years past, for which he has the thanks of hundreds of little ones. Toys add much to the pleasures ot childhood. The several tobacco markets adjacent to this place are making strenuous eflbrts to handle the present crop ot tobacco. Wo like to fee such compoliti' n. It helps the farmers, and they help everybody else. Many subscrij.tions to the Friend are expiring about now. If you miss your paper, sec if your subscription has expired. If it has, renew at once, and in duce your neighbor to do so. Next year Rev. J. S. Harda way will preach at the Oxford Baptist church four Sabbaths in each month. Branson’s Almanac for 1884 is an old and welcome friend, bright and correct as usual. Prof. I'e- gram, in Ida calculations, sustains his usml reputation for corr ct- ness. Thanks b r a copy. At Oxford, last Wednesday morning, at the residence of the brides mother, Mss Janie Hall was united in marriage with Mr. Henry Perr}’of Henderson. Rev. Br. Baird ofiiciated. There are many churches in the State, who have done nothing for the orphans during thu past year. We would .all the atten tion of such to the resolutions passed Ly their respective assem blios iiuthoriziug that collections be taken up at least once a year for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum. Besides this, the Great Head of the Olmroh commands you to take care of His little ones. In His wisdom, ho has committed them to you as Hiu repr.-sentatives. How impor tant, then, that you attend to this matter now. Not only does the cry of the poor orph in ask it of you, but your greatest inter ests—your souhs salvation—de mands it of you. Do your duty. * Have you “the auswei* of a good conscience” in this matter? The Yanceyville correspond ent of the News and Observe! a. ferre Liolsomback, who was irgedwith burning the barn of J.

A Thanksgiving Offering to the Oxford Orphan Asylum. Raleigh, November 17th, 1883. Major Robert Bingham, Grand Master of the Order of Masoiis of N. a : Sir.—Sometime since I had is sued a small edition of the ex tracts ot letters, &c., of the late Major-General Bry:m Grimes, for private .distribution only, Since this edition has been exhausted, I have been frequently applied to tor copies of the book, and parties have applied through me to Mrs. Grimes, for the privilege of prin ting another edition, and to di vide the profits of the sale. She was averse to receiving personally any pecuniary return, and those ofi'ers have been kindly refused. 1 am directed by Mrs. Grimes to place a copyright to the dispos al of the Grand Lodge of Masons for the benefit of the Oxford Or phan Asylum. An edition of the book is now in the process ot pub lication, and will in a tew days be issued, and the proceeds of the sale tliereof will be given to this cherished institution. This disposition is more satis factory to her feelings and impul ses, for her husband had at heart no higher aim than that of aid and sympathy for a Confederate com rade, and for the widows and or phans of those whom the destiny ot war had left ,ani)rotected. From the close of the war to the moment of his death, no Goufederate sol- ilier, or tho widow, or the child of a Confederate sol ier, ever aj)- pcaled in vain to his generosity or protect! u; and I may add that the last order he ever gave was on tlie morning of the day of his murder, just as he was leaving his house for Washiugtou, N. 0., to the olfect, that a basket of provis ions aud a physician be sent to the widow of a Confederate soldier, that he had just then learned need ed both food and medical assis tance, J trust, sir, that you will accept this donation in the same spirit of kindness and consideration in which it IS offered, and I hope that through it some little good may be extended to the children of those whose memory should be held dear to every mau and wo man throughout our State. I am very truly yours, PULASEI COWPEE. Pulaski Gowpei, .Esq , Raleigh Sir;—Your letter is received, informing me of the wish of Mrs. Bryan Grimes to place the copy right of the extracts of letters &c., ot Gen Bryan Grimes at the dis posal of the Grand Lodge of Ma sous for the benefit of the Oxford Orphan Asylum. As the repre sentative ot the Grand Lodge I accept the ofi'ering and beg you to returu to Mrs. Grimes my own and the fraternity’s thanks for her generosity. No braver or more chivalrous gemlemau, no truer or nobler man than Qeu. Grimes ov er lived to adorn our State; no one ever died more regretted. Though not a member of our order, his life beiutitully illustrated the sa cred principles of “brotherly love, relief aud truth,” and as the last order lie ever gave was one of gen- erouu charity, it seems peculiarly flttiug that the good that hi did should live after him iu sudli 'a way as to keep iu jierpetual force aud remembrance that last order to visit and relieve the fatherless aud the widow in their affliction. Thanking Airs. Grimes aud your selfgain iu the name of our fra ternity, lam, Very truly yours, R, Binguam, Grand Master of Masons iu N. C.

F. &A. M. Whereas, Death has again in vade.! the precinct of our becret circle and has removed from his place among us, so long and so honorably filled, our aged and highly esteemed Bro. 0. W, D. Hutchings, translating him as we humbly hope and believe from the labors of the quarries and the for est to the finished temple above the skies, where all shall receive the just reward of their labors, and none be fpund dissatisfied,, therefore Resolved, That in the death of Bro.

Joseph, ) It is not generally known that the Cotton Exposition to be held in New Orleans in December, 188'4, is to celebrate the exportation of the first I ale of cotton from this country. It was sent to England in 1784, On the 24th inst, President Ar thur issued a pardon to Sergeant Ma son, who was sentenced to eight years imprisonment for attempting to shoot Guiteau. Blankets took tLeir names from Sir Thomas Blanket, of Bristol, Eng land, who made them during the four teenth century; while worstead is so- called because it was first manufactur ed in the town of Worsted. “We have heard of a church whose young ladies'give two “hugs” for a quai ter, the proceeds to go to the church,”—Tarloro Southerner. This is really too bad. But |liow many do the modern dancers allow for the same money. We hear of a colored fellow-citi zen in Wayne county who is a candi date for a third term in the penitentia ry. He boasts that he would rather stay there than any where else, and that he expects to go back again as soon as his time is out.—MeikodUt Ad- ....A lady says her husband will sit on a barbed wire fence all the after noon to see a base ball match and nev er move a muscle, but when he goes to church he can’t sit in a cushioned pew for fifteen minutes without wriggling all over the seat and changing hia po sition forty times. ....“A New York snorer has cured himself by putting a porous plaster over his mouth and sleeping in aa arm chair with hia feet on the mantlepiece.” Would not some North Carolina snor- ers do well to try the.same? ....The Greensbom Workman states that two men were put In jail forsteal- ing; one had stolen a watch, the other Cow. The cow-stoaler, toward sun set, asked his companion who had stol en the watch, “What time of day is it?” Pulling out his watch, the other an swered, “It is just about milking time!” ....It is alleged that, during tne ses sion of the Orange Presbj^ery here, last week, one of the ministers In pl eaching about Heaven, said. “There is no darkness there, no clouds, no sickness, no graves, no funerals, no preachers——” At this point a smile ran over the audience, which the min ister perceiving, interpolated the re mark, ‘I mean there’s no preaching there,”—TarSoro Southerner, Lil3’ Valley Lodgo, No. 2.52—John R, Hill, William H. iiiddiek, Eras- tus Baglcy.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE OXFORD BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL. Whereas, It has pleased, the ‘Judge of all the earth,” for Louie wise purpose, to remove from our school our young friend and pupil, Fannie Jordan Powell. Resolved, That while we pray for submission to His righteous decree, we believe that the sym pathizing Savior who wept with the sisters at Bethany would not rebuke the tears wo shed at our sore bereavement. Resolved, That in her death the Oxford Baptist Sunday School has lost one of its most promising and best beloved pupils—one who was a favorite with all who knew her for her intelligence, loveliness of disposition, and winning maU' ners. Resolved, That we have heard with Joy of her interest inthe sub ject of religion for some weeks previous to aud during her illness, and though she had made no pub lic profession of faith, we are com forted with the hope that she has “fallen asleep in Jesus,” and is new enjoying the reward promised to the '‘pure in heart.” Resolved, That we tender to the stricken family our heart-felt sym pathies aud pray that God may comfort them iu their sorrow. Resolved, That these Resolutions be spread upon the records of the School, and that a copy be sent to the bereaved family j also to tiie Orphan’s Friend aud tho Torch - light ioT publication.

One of the queerest curiosities on the globe i§ a man with a si.vc" skull who is now visiting in Louisville Ky. During a fiercely contested bat tle in the war this interesting individ ual was struck in the head witli a piece of shell which tore away the entire top of his skull, leaving the brain most horribly exposed. Strange to say he survived the terrible wound, and a sur geon succeeded in fitting a silver plate over the ojjening, which shielded the brain equally as well as the skull. This plate is about the size of a man’s hand and works on hiug *8, and may be raised up. and down at will. The re skulled'man does not experrience the least pain, and, as be wears a wig, all evidence of a shattered skull is co ^ cealed.—Clipped from 'Wilmingtou Meview, ' V V EEE L V V E I.
