I am not able to express my gratitude to the people of our State for their liberal contribu tions to the Orphans, norfor their accompanyiug words of kindness to myself. Contributions have come from beyond the mountains and from the ocean, kind words have come from Boston and from the Gulf of Mexico. Children heretofore restrained will now be permitted to come, and the com forts pf those already here will be increased. Keceipts and private letters have been sent in large numbers. Some mistakes will probably occur. These will be corrected with great pleasure, whenever discovereed. Certain exhibitors have been using the name of the Or phan Asylum merely to dodge taxes. County oflScers ought to require such parties to show their authority. The Orphan Asylum has no fellowship with any im moral or disreputable exhibitions- J. H. MILLS, Sup’t. special^mStioit. The town of Williainstoo, Mar tin county, was destroyed by fire last week. In onr acknowledgements of contributions laet week., we ac- cre iited $6 to the High Point Presbyterian congregation that wa~ CO tributed hy the difier'ent denoniinatiouB of Jamestown. Also $5.65 to tho llutherfordton Baptist church that was con tributed by the different churches and the people of the town, and $7 to the citizens of Loliislurg that was contributed by the cit izens of Salisb'ury. Tht small pox has made its ap pearance at the Masonic Orphans’ Home, Louisville, Ky. Only one death. The disease is under control. How thankful we should be that our Great Master has permitted no pestilence ? o visit our Asylum. Our Kentucky brethren have our deepest sym pathy. At an election of officers of Wm. G. Hill Lodge. A. L. ,& A. M. held in Raleigh last JJon- day evening, th ’ following of ficers were elected for the easu* ing masonic ye\r; W. M., Thom as Badger; 9. W., E. M. Uzzell; J. W., Chas, Wailin; treasurer, LeoD Heartt; secretary, John B. Heathery. Last week Miss Smith sent us a good list of subscribers, asking us to tender her thanks to Messrs. A. H. McHeil, A. W. Camp bell, Carthay:e, to Mr. London Pitteboro,to Messrs. Hudson and Hunter, Apex, and to Mr. J. R. Guess, Cary, for assisting her in pr-. curing subscribers. These friends will please accept the thanks of the Fbibnd, also. On the 26th of November, at the residence of the bride’s un cle, Judge Wood, Mr. William I. Howell was united in marriage with M ss Mamie Adams. Wil lie was recently a citizen of Ox ford, and has many warm frit nds among our people. At the Episcopal church in Oxford last Wednesday, Miss Meda Hicks was united in mar riage to Air. Charlie Ward, of Franklin county. Hr. Baird of ficiated. Several numbers of the Ma- sonic Some Journal, publi-hed un^ der the auspices of the Masonic Widows’ and Orphans’ Home, Louisville, Ky., are before us. It IS indeed a credit to the insti tution it represents and to the Masons of Kentucky. We bid it welcome and wish it along life. The spring session of T. J. & W. 1). Horner’s Classical, Mach ematioal and Commercial School, Henderson, N. C., begins on the 7th January, 1884. The Princi pals and teachers of this School have been tried and found wor^ thy. We can therefore cheer fully; recommend them to the consideration of parents who have sons to -educate. We admit that this is an age of progress, but we believe if some of oi;r parents knew how their boys and girls deport them selves when they attend church ab night as “gentleman and la dy,^’ or “beau and belle,” that the aforesaid boys and girls would be spanked and put to bed be fore dark, and not allowed to at tend church again without a nurse, instead of a beau, until they get largo enough to rever ence the house of divine worship. Rev. J. B. Martin has been as signed by the M, E. Conference to the Granville Circuit, Rev. J. T. Gibbs’late charge. Mr. Gibbs comes to Oxford Circuit,and Rev L. H. Gibbons goes to Haw River. Mr. Gibbs is well known hi^re, and receives a cordial wel come. During the past year Mr Gibbons has been associated with the Friend as editor, and we part with him with feelings of profound regret. A more zeal ous, conscientious man it has never been Our privilege to know Last week’s Methodist Advance announces that “Prof. J. S. Mid- yette and wife left Goldsboro last Tuesday t6 take positions in the Oxford Asylum.^-' This is totally untrue, as Mr. Midyette loft the Asylum about twelve months ago, and is not likely to return The article in the Ad vance must have been intended for publication some two years ago. P. 8.— Since the above was put in typo we have received this week’s Advance, which coiAains the followiug explanation: “The editorial paragraph pub- lislied last week in reference to Prof. Midyette was furuislied by the editor by mistake. It was an old piece of copy, and the pubiish- er and editor both being absent, the printer in charge was not sup posed to know the movements of Prof. Midyette. Do you see? How the Monmons dance: They sit on opposite sides of the daucitg room; numbers are dis tributed among the males, and when ^ ailed to the floor, those having tho numbers called select ther partners, dance, and all ti.ke their seats on opposite sides of the room, as before, when the next numbers are called. However ludicrous this may appear to aome, we believe it more tolerable than tho fashion able hugging dances, such as the waltz, polka, &c., which are ap proved of or participated in by some church members, and winked at by some others. MISeSLANEOUS. —When you fret and fume at the petty ills of life, remember th .t the wheels which go round with out creaking last longest, —A mine is a pit in which rich men may sink fortunes, and the most successful minerjs one who makes them do it. —The house-fly can only see a distance of thirty-eight teet, bub that never bothers him any. He always manages to keep within thirty-seven feet of everything. -Admiral Porter says that our navy now is “mostty officers and water.’’ We ought to be thankful that it isn’t mostly officers and whisky. -It is the same with a book as with a man. With a good title the demand for the book or the man will be immeasurablyincreas- ed. A large floating buoy, lighted with compressed gas, was anchor ed on the Sandy Hook Shoals sev eral months ago, as an experis ment, by the light house board. It is claimed that the light will last nine months longer without renewing. —A boom in early marriages is prevailing in Georgia.i;Mis8 Geor gia Garrett between twelve and thirteen years old was married on Thursday, and became^Mrs. Wm, Hogg. A sister when at the same age set the example. In Ameri cas, Robert Sullivan, aged 17, and Miss Eddie Cobb, aged 14, have been married. —A Pennsylvania paper be lieves that butter-milk will soon supersede beer as the national beverage. That can never be. Buttermitk is not intoxicating enough lor political purposes. —Pitsburg Dispatch: “Whis key,” said a considerable of a poli tician the other night, as be held up a glass of it, “is the typical American beverage. It is a kind of leveller that is characteristic in our gloroiis country. Take a view of this bar and tell mo if I am not right. At one end is a United States Senator with whis key in his tumbler, and here back of us stands a hack driver, vdiose glass has been filled from tho same- bottle. Is there anywhere else than a bar, or anything else than whiskey, that puts men more on a level?” Whiskey, he might have added, will land the Senator and cabby in the same gutter. —The Duke of Argyle, in a re cent Glascow lecture on “Geology and the Deluge,” said he “thought among the characteristics of the Scottish people there were iu»uo which conferred greater honor up on them than the immense exer tions—he would also say than the heroic exertions—which many of the poorest among them made for the education of their children. He became acquainted a very few months ago with the case ot a shepherd, on his own property, whose whole income he believed did not exceed the sum of £18 a year, together with a house and some ground for a potato garden, but who, nevertheless, had found himself able to muintam for years, at one of the great schools of the city, one of his boys, who he was happy to say^wasa most promising studmt.” —An unmistakable eomelhing inthe^ir foretells the pressure, the charm, and the pathos of the holiday time. The pursuit under difficulties occasionally, of mater ials for gifts, the fascination ot planning for surprises which sel dom surprise, bo sure are we of the good things coming, and the remembrance of those in need r of substantial help, will make the season ouce more an inexpressible delight. Tiie heart grows more tender, the hand is not so tightly closed, the looks farther into the depths of poverty, benignity is more readi ly put on. The glad and hallow ed time is at the door. —A young man of twenty-nine, college graduate and lawyer, mar ried an elderly lady of fifty-three because she had $5,000. Now af ter living together for three years, they have become parties to an amicable suit for divorce, the con dition being that the old lady should select her husbanU’s sec nd wife and remain in the house as a sort of brevet mother-in-law. — The country is at present over-run with tramps- The like of them has never before been seen, and it is remarke 1 that they are something better than tho usual Older of tramps. The fail ures of mills in tho North, turning thousands of people out of em ployment is the correct explana tion of the present deluge of tramps. Most of them are honest people, looking out for employ ment, but there are a lot of bad ones among them, and the vagrant act should bo rigidly enforced in all the towns of our State, --Char lotte Observer. Do you wish to make an appropriate present to your friend, parents, chil dren or sweet-heart? If so, go to J. G.iHall’s. Genuine products of the dime novel are discovered in three Boston small boys who were ar rested in the suborbs of New York, where they bad made ar rangements to abduct blushing maidens and wealthy tourists.

Beware of faho prophets and patent toothache drops. Experience is a high-grade school,course thorough,tuition free, but incidental expenses enormous. Look not upon the horse race and monkey with the pool 8-ller, for it is not wise to bet, unless you can win. Try not to guy the sti anger who sojourneth in thy land, and, seemeth meek and sad, forof such are three-card mon te mea made. If a man smites thee on thy righi cheek, turn also to him thy left cheek, and peradven- ture thou canst with great ease plant a kick that will cause him to become discourag-'d and repent of his folly. The foolish man sjiiih to himself: ‘T will blow in o the muzzle of this empty gun,’ and the wise coroner will say in his report: ‘AccIdonliiDy blown to hearalter.’ For Sale Privately.

The name of “Weed” seems to be destined to flourish perenially in Amer ica as the Synonym for success in one., field or another of glorious achieve ment. Capt. Columbus Weed, who came over in the “Mayflower in 1620 and settled in Granville County, North Carolina, and fell fighting gallantly hand to hand with the famous Indian Chief, Lord Wellington, at King’i Mountain, was the famous marksman of hall a century ago, of whom it is told that a Coon at which he was aiming came down, and surrendered at discre tion. Just as the shoddy,, rebuilt, and old-style fancy-price Sewing M.ichlnee- . do when the‘*New Hartford Machine,” with that Ball-Bearing Balance Wheel gets after them. Now, as if to prove, t^hat Peace hath its victories no hsa re nowned than war, tlie name of “Weed” is imperishably associated with the latest, most perfect, and most popular Sewing Machine yet developed on t/iir Continent. The World’s Eighth won der, the “New Hartford” in (he hands of the World’s toiling millions will “buzz” his name from ago to age down the centuries. See this machine before you buy. A. M.
