u m THE DAILY WORKMAN. J. S. MICHAUX, Local Editor A paper for all people, but especially to meet the desire which many are known to entertain for a non-political sheet, the Woekman will strive to go into every house, leaving to other papers the sc ence of politics, giving the news In brief and holding itself responsible to the moral sense of the community for its utterances. Mrs. Polly Hunter.—On ar riving at the office this morning, we find a note from Mr. J. H. Coble to the effect that our esteemed and venerable friend, Mrs. Polly Plunter, died yesterday at 2 o’clock p. m., and would be buried at 4 o’clock to day, at Tabernacle. We have had occasion heretofore to remark on the high character of the deceased, who was indeed a mother in Israel, and deserves a place among the verv foremost. For a long time she stood as a^beacon light to all who were round about, and by word and ex ample she was an influence for good to thousands, and if a monument is deserved by anybody she deserves one. But no mere marble, cold and pulseless, could represent what she was as a wife and mother, a neigh bor and Christian. Long will she be remembered by her children and neighbors, and by hundreds who knew her she was in her best days of health and vigor. Went and Came Back.— Em mons Brown and his brother Doug lass, sons of Wilson Brown, of Or ange county, accompanied by a youth named Labberton, set out a few weeks ago to try their fortunes in Texas. They bought tickets here for Dallas, Texas, but they had . hardly reached that place when the two Browns were sick enough of their bargain and were ready to turn baik, and tarn they-did. They- came back with quite as much speec^ as;they went, and d great ‘deal wiser. They say they got the worth of their money, and do not begrudge the $So apiece it cost to make the trip. They had a fear that if they remained many days in Dallas they would be attacked witn serious sickness, and it is understood that Labberton, who concluded to remain awhile longer in Texas, is now sick of fever. Em mons Brown was taken with fever soon after reaching home, and is now ill at his father’s house. From Mebanevilie* The editor returned last night from the visit to Mebaneville, on which he started baturday morning. The Workman of yesterday tells of mat ters at Mebaneville, so far as seen on Saturday, Dining with the family .of Mr. W. H. Lasley, we spent the night at Mrs. Cheek’s, and on Sun day morning found the way to He bron church, at which a protracted meeting was appointed to begin that day. The congregation was large and attentive. We spent the night with Mr. L. W. McAdam, and re turned to the church yesterday morning. Very warm weather, and a small sprinkle of rain at 2130 o’clock p. m. Rev. Mr. Juhnson, of the M. E. Church South, preached the morning sermon, which was yery pointed and earnest, and evi dently did good. The meeting was continued, but an editor who has, smong several other pet schemes, a daily paper on his hands, cannot stay away from home indefinitely ; so we had to leave Hebron at the end of the second day. Our young friend John F. McAdam gave us a good, lively passage to Mebaneville behind the heels of his spirited sorrel mare, and vte still had time left to make a further survey of the village. We learned that the flouring mills situa ted here are doing better work than ever and giving fine satisfaction in the quality of the flour made. One of the enterprises talked of for Mebaneville is a substantial and com modious hotel, which the increased business of the country seems to haye made neccessary. The sash and blind factory of the White Brothers is running on full time, and doing a large amount of work. They I'eport that they can and do compete suc cessfully with similar establishments tar and near. Dropping into the store of Messrs. Wright & Thompson we found them carrying on their accustomed busi ness, while in the rear of the store house were fields of large tobacco just approaching the season of cutting and curing, Mr. T. B. Thompson owns a snug farm here, on which he has one of the finest groves to be found anywhere. In the grove stands his dwelling, and on either hand, up and down the railroad track, may be found a number of beautiful sites for building purposes, with their beauti ful shades of white oak. But alas, tobbacco has become so profitable as a crop that the ground pays better in that than in building-lots at anything like the usual rates. We paid a brief and pleasant visit to the homeofMr. Thompson, taking supper with his family and getting aboard the west-bound triau in time to reach home at 9 o'clock, p. m. The Furitan Defeats the Ge NESTA. — Yesterday in the thirty- eight mile race over the New York Yacht Club course, the Puritan de feated the Genesta 16 minutes 19 seconds corrected time, or 16 minutes 47 seconds actual time. The race was America against England, and all Americans will naturally* feel proud that the Puritan was success ful. The pri^e contested for was a '* k _ . 1 _! u.. c:„ very handsome cup given by Sir Richard Sutton, to be contested for by difterent nations. The following is the history of the cup : The cup which was contested for by the Puritan and the Genesta is the one-hundred guinea cup of the Royal Yacht Squadron, but since the race in 1S51 it has been known as the American cup. It is elabor ately ornamented, stands two feet high and weighs at least one hundred ounces. Around its broadest part are medallions, variously inscribed. The first inscription is as follows: One-Hundred-Guinea Cup, won August 22, 1S51, at Cowes, England, by yacht America, at the Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta, open to •all nalions, beating,” and then fol low the names of all the vessels which started in the race of i8$i. On the next medallion is engraved, “Schooner America, 170 tons, Com modore John C. Stephens ; built by George Steers, New York, 1851.” On the other spaces are inscriptions recording the results of the races with the schooners Cambria, Livonia and Countess of Duflerin, and the sloop Atalanta. 'CiTV OP Mexico, Sept. 13.—A com munistic uprising ia the canton of Cordova, State of Vera Cruz, is giving great annoyance to the planters of that section. The Governor of the State professes ability to put down the. rebels without the aid of federal troops. The communists demand a division of all property. Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 14.— One week ago the Rev. Sam Jones, the noted revivalist, began a series of camp meeting exercises in Carters- ville. The meetings have develop ed phenomenal features and are at tended by audiences of many thou sands. It is the most notable af fair of the kind ever held in Geor gia. Jones goes to St. Joseph, Missouri, when these meetings are over. While Intoxicated.—It is a sign of greater fairness and honesty that the news paper aie throwing much less of disguise than formerly over some of the most startling works of the all-conquering, ever present Bottle. The following is clipped from the Lyii^hburg Virginian of Saturday: While partia'Iy intoxicated, Mr. John R. Whitehead, of Pittsylvania, fell off the bfgh brick wall at the lower end of Seventh street, a dis tance of about thirty feet, early yesterday mofsing. Mr. Jas. Rob inson, the Norfolk and Western signalman, ran to him, expecting to find him either dead or very seri ously injured; but to bis surprise the man’s only ipiury was a slight fracture of iRw' ankle and a few bruises. Dr. Slaughter was sent for and attended him. He was taken to the station house and kiipt until morning, when he was sent to the alms house. He fell at about the same place where Geroge Bibb met his death by a fall several years ago. Whitehead’s escape is considered remarkable. UnnouncemenT, iWATOBEES, OlEiOCK^,.

St. Paul, Minu., Sept. 13.—A public meeting of Western Union operators was’ held here to-day to take actioQ on the subject of extra work demand^ without extra pay.

Her Brother.— A handsome, stately youth of sixteen years pass- one day though the play ground of a public school. . “There goes brother Jtobert,” called out a. little girl in the midst of a group of scholars. “Isn’t he handsome?” “Why? Why?” cried out several voices at once^ “Ob, he*is so good! He never swears, nor chews or smokes to bacco, neither does he ever drink any liquor. I am so glad that I have such a brother.” The childrau all looked again with admiration upon the youth, when one of them earnestly re marked, “I hope my brother will be like him.” The next day two young men in a buggy drove rapidly past the same children. One of them had a cigar stump in his mouth, and he was so drunk that he could scarce ly sit up. As the buggy went by the children, they heard him utter a terrible oath. “That is Will Burton,” said one of the children; “he tends in a sa loon, and he is drunk the greater part of hi3_^time. I would be ashamed to hav’fesnch a brother,” None of them noticed that a little girl ran away and hid herself. In a few minutes her playmates missed her, and hunted her. They soon found her weeping and sobbing as if her heart would break. She refused to tell the cause of her trouble; but it was clear to all of them, as a little girl whispered to another, “That drunk en boy Was her brother.” Boys, see that your actions and lives may be so that your 'sisters may be proud of you. Never give them any cause to be ashamed of you.—Words of Cheer. The above property lies just East of McMahon’s Factory, about | of a mile from the Court House. 10 of the lots are nicely shaded.
