Tlie banking rooms now being
fitted up for the Bank of Hickory,
were opened a few days last week to
enable the workmen to take in the
counters, and fittings for the interi- j

an opportunity to look in and see
the woik which has been done, i
Every body was loud in praise of
the handsome decorations : and be
lieves that the Bank of Hickory will '
soon be quartered in the most ele
gant banking room in the State.
Flie enterprise shown by the owners
in providing such a handsome room
for their business, is worthy of com
mendation : as it shows they are
wide awake persons ready and wil
ling to siiow their faith in the future
of the town, by fitting up their build
ing, in a style that would be credit
able to any city bank.

A Town Clock.
Some time ago v\ e suggested that
one large bell in the center ol the
' town, to be run-rut a stated time
for all the .churches, would be better
than having one bell on each of a
dozen churches, rung bv the time of
as many different and widely ditfer
ing time-pieces, but our motion se
cured uo second. Evangelist Pear
son made about the same suggestion
and it was generally endorsed, so
that we feel sure there is something
in it. and perhaps we did not present
the matter in proper shape. We
think now a large town clock that
could be heard strike all over town
would be better than the bell-on ev
ery-church system. Each congrega
tion would have its hour and the i
big clock would tell it out. While |
a piously inclined man is trying to
listen to the opening prayer he don't
like to have a neighboring church ;
be l ! ring his mind from the subject.

What I* True Moralll,;?
Tl.eie is } eihups no suLj ct within
the i of human thought of more
vital iut♦ i st to every man, woman
and chi d. ( t none so little under
stood. so d)fT lently const iued, x
]landed or contracted to suit the con
venience of him oi her who attempts
to at line it.
In att mpting a just solution of
this pit at principle, many ate the
difficulties to 1 e met and oveicome.
Many Laid battrs sre to be fought,
and a standard is to be erected by
which every argument is to be tested.
I w ill set up as the standard of
true morality the law as found re
cord* d in I'xrdus 2(»th chapter,
and Deut. sth chapter, ct mmonly
called the ten commandments, whicb
always hav« been, are now, arid al
wa\s will be binding upon men and
angels.
Whatever else Christ came to do
for us. he did not come to destroy
the law, and I'aul refers to the law
a.-> being established, not destroy#*)
through faith.
Now the greatest difficulty 11.at we
hats to meet is that of conscience.
Many mistake the voice of conscience
for the voice of God. The f'*>!ish-
of such will be shown neit
week, by permiHsion of the editor,
and all that I may write upon this
subject i- laid open to criticism. I
hope it will be carefully read, e-per
ially M the clergy, and if the-e v;» W*
are judged to lx* incorrect I nope
for the good o'f a.l they may take
the trouble to correct tharn through
the same medium, as many never
jo t" our churches, or take no re
j\ .- n* wppaj •r. and therefore tLir
■ to me to be the on!* * to
' leach them. L
