Our Orphans. On Monday night a chapter from the Oxford Orphan Asylum gave an entertainment at the .Hall of the Y. M. C. X. The Programme was well selected and well executed, the singing good and the recitations al most perfect. Master John Gibson, a sweet little boy of seven summers, captivated the large audience when he greeted his hearers. Miss Julia Scott is tho'teacher in charge, and we rather think it not a light charge to take charge of seven children and five t'ruaks, travelling day after day. . We do not; know of any worthier cause than that of the orphans of our StaiCjTpConvicts, idiots and maniacs, deaf, dumb and blind are taken care f by the State, but the poor orphan is depe'ndent upon the cold charity of ' the world. Large sums are devoted to good causes such as churches, societies and as sociations, buf. it is generally for gotten that the first duty of a Christian is charity. Every county in our State ought to raise by sub scription a small sum of money say $100 to gi vje to the Asylum. The orphans that gave the enter tainment Were very neatly dressed, looked as if they were well taken care of and behaved like little la dies and gentlemen. The ' Orplian's Friend is a paper published in the interest of the Asylum, lt'is a good family paper and. the profit derived" from what you pay for it ($1.00) goes to the Asylum. It ought to be in every house4 in North Carolina." BUILDING AND LOAN. !

We visited the poor house by a 'committee of three from our body, and find ev erything nice and clean and inhab itants well providen ana all seem well satisfied with their treatment; also find the surroundings kept nice and clean. We visited the county jail and found it in clean, good and safe condition. The prisoners say they are well fed and otherwise taken care of. We find the sewers are not in proper order, but have been assured by the jailor that the matter will be attended to next week. We also found one of the inmates a female who claims to be sick; she is in need of a physi cian, and we recommend she have one. We have examined the court house and would recommend the following repairs : There seems to to be a leak in the roof; side next to Council street a portion of the boxing is falling off and the chim neys also seem to need some repairs, the columns need painting, also find some of the plastering off ou the piazza and find quite a number of the glasses broken out of the windows. We would also reeonu mend that the matting be put on the staircase; also the matting lead ing to the court room be taken up and cleaned. We also fincl the.win dow shutters defaced by posters and advertisements and. recommend that another bill board be put up for that purpose and also recom mend that the County Commission ers be instructed to have such other repairs made that will be necessary. We also have examined the re port of the Finance Committee and are satisfied that the finances are correctly kept and properly account ed for. - Yours very resp'y, J. E.

B: F. JOHNSON & CO., 1013 Main st, Rich Eiond, Va. HIMXU NOTES. Tbo Concord mine ii milling a rich deposit found near the old workings. It is estimated to ran over 150 per bushel. The cold is fine flour gold and difficult to tare. A Centrifugal Amalgamator would answer their purpose with less ex pense ana trouble in cleaning np. We understand that the rich ore taken out of the Moraford mine has been taken to a mill and worked. The result of the working is kept quiet. The president of the com pany has written to parties near the mines to know how much ore was taken to mill, etc. The heavy rains last Friday night did much d&m3ge to some of our working mines, causing the sur- iace water to una us way through the collar of the shafts, and in some instances undermining the timbers and letting the waten into the workings. The damage at some of the mines is estimated at the thousands. The old inhabitants say no such rain storm has occurred in fifty years like the one on Fri day last. y The large force of men were com pelled to stop work on tho race now being constructed for the Stanly Freehold Mines on the Yadkin river on Saturday last, the heavy rains having caused the river to rise duringjthe night. No damage was done except mud being deposited on the rocs bottom of the race All preparations are now mado for building the flume as fast as possi ble. A part of the pumping works will be delivered in tendays, and tne nine sections oi iron pipe are on the way. Somo very heavy ex cavations are made in solid rock for the bed of flume near the shore of river above high water mark.' This is a gigantic operation in fact, one of the works of magnitude that has been accomplished in min ing in this country, and when com pleted will be a credit to the com pany tnat nave undertaken the work. The profile of the work and cuttings have been taken down and examinations made of belts of slate and sections of the formation made that shows the .geological structure along the bank of river. Several of these cutting3 are from 30 to 40 feet wide on the top and and 20 feet deep; 16 feet wide on the bottom of race on a -dead level allowing for the -arch. This -will convey a large body of water of a mile to the pumping Works. About seventy five men are employ ed. We watch the work with inter est. '- -. '' We have heard a good deal of late of the disinclination of the public to invest in new companies,' but we fail to find that auy. such disincli nation exists, except in cases where the public has reasou for want of confidence. We happen to know of a case during the last few days where the capital of a mine has been privately subscribed with the ut most alacrity. The mine in quos-. tion is the Sam Christian, consis ting of 1,350 acres ,of rich alluvial deposit," in North Carolina, which Mr. Hambley, M. E., well known in connection with Messrs. John Taylor and Son, has reported on in the unfavorable' terms. Proba bly this mine is an exceptionally good one, but the readiness with which the capital' for it has been obtained proves that there is no lack of money available here for legitimate enterprises, Mr. Ham bley says the subscribers to the Sarn Christian Mine will make 70,000 a ' year clear profit, and with thi3 estimate on record he proposes to undertake the manage ment of it himself.

Til Bisy We have the pleasure to announce a new departure the location of an Agency in New York City for the purchase and selection of oar stock in order to enable m toiguote lower prices than others who bay on long time and ask bier oricea in these davs of panic and hard times; , Our Aeent has instructions to ilook after every house on the verge in hand to buv the lumnor in the we can get at less than its value, so that we can mark in plain figures on our bargains prices that hare not; been named or quoted in this piarked or any other. Noihy favor, bu0 by merit alone, will we maintain and increase our unrivalled reputation. ' Big prices wiU'not do in these times when even tho wealthy can not afford to waste their money and the poor require double duty of every dollar and every, penny. . '' As pur prices change with eycry sale, it will bo impossible to give quotations, but it will be our aim to 'name figures that will compel you in self-defense to buy of us. We deal in good goods and not trash, .and believe the masses will patronize that house that sells the best goods for the least money. . Among our daily arrivals we shall place before bur people some laud -slides that are positively beyond the whisper of competition, comparison or monopoly -prices that will teach you in the silent logic oi truth tho difference between dealing with live and with, dead' men between the cash and the credit system between tho right and tho wrong way. Hence we throw out "among the masses thess specialties these matchless goods and matchless prices, to check the insane and criminal practise of wasting money for the paltry consideration of a little credit. ; Who can tell the waste of mdney when you get your goods of houses that buy and sell on long time. Gold is a good thing but give us genius and ambition, and then an energy that never tires, a mind that never wanders, an eye that never sleeps, and a nerve that never quivers,vand we will ride rough shod,, all over the world I . , ? New advanced ideas crowding out the old pluck instead of luck cash instead of credit brains in the. place of cheek and scienco and ability beating back and crushing into oblivion theso moonshine mer chants with their tough and tremendous long time prices, -i What is the nse of wasting a dollar when you may save it ? ' Upon our counters will be thrown, day after day, new arrivals, at panic prices, from houses that collapsed, others that will go down tb- i morrow, and still others who throw outlive the'storm. From such sources-as these we buy our goods, and the house that wants the trade of the people must go beyond this ad vanced line, must beat these prices.or go down for if there is honor in man, or virtue m good goods at low situation the live pioneers who dive We shall offer such unanswerable arguments as no house can match leaders and specialties at quotations that no other can offer stern stubborn facts that will level yonr Hard luck and harder times cerns they must have money to meet the inevitable note ;to-morrow they all know we have the cash the hard and solid cash and a thous and will buy double the value, and below the regular wholesale jobbers of Jiroadway. : WThen bankruptcy and ruin overtakes the victim we are alway there with the American Dollar. , When the hammer of the auctioneer falls upon! some grand ' and gigantic windshake listen for Our Name! . , Thus we-are fighting against the old rotten credit system for money, for reputation, , and for the people ! ' This is the music' and these the prices that crowd our store whilst other merchants .sleep on their counters, while dreaming of the day of disaster and ruin awaiting all who buy on long time and sell oh longer who pay big prices, and ail at figures that no people can afford to pay.
