A paper for all people, but especially
to meet tbe desire . which many are
known to entertain for a non-political
sheet tbe Wohkmax will strive to go
into every house, leaving to other papers
the o e nee of politics, giving the news
in brief and holding itself responsible
to the moral senae of tbe community for
its utterances.

From, Mr. R. A. Jenkins we
learn that he saw the two brag water
melons of Winston weighed yester

the other 106. They will be exhibit

they keep sound unil that time.

The Wilmington Morning Star
completed its eighteenth year on the
23d of September, and has fairly
earned the right to live and move
and shine in the light-shedding firma

never waned nor flickered since we
first knew it.
Mr. Eli N. Moffit, of Moore
county, with Mrs. Morfitt, is here
purchasing goods for his store. Mr.
Moffitt drives a large business at
Noise, Moore county, on Deep river,
forty miles from Greensboro. He
has long been a libeial customer of
our merchants. He comes up on
theC. F. &Y. V. Railroad, and is
stopping at the Benbow.
Mr. Jas. A. Robinson,, late of

field at Goldsboro, and the Argus
will have about the best man to be

understands his business, and will be

If it is any gratification to Miss
Ada Gray to know that on this occa
sion she had all the ladies'in the au
dience in tears more than once, and
a large fraction of the sterner sex
polishing the perspiration out of their
eyes, she ought to be happy. And

has the lines to allow her to do so,
the charming little touches of humor
in a wife, whose only coquettishness
is reserved for her husband, were so
deliciously neat that ; the transition

sane jealously was only too vivid in

this is natural enough, but the man
i held in one hand a rope, the other
. end of which was fastened about the
horns of a milch cow, and the cow
moved along beside the buggy as
quietly as one could imagine, keeping
-step with the horse and showing no
disposition to pull back. Such a
sight we never witnessed before. We
guess that cow had been well raised,
and that the family had taught her
or- lo behave on the streets.
".Lynchburg. Va , is reviving the
project of the Lynchburg, Halifax &

house of the county, urges the build

Chandler's Mountain, thence t the

"You cer

suppose our friend means that we
speak so well of Greensboro as to
elevate it in the estimation of persons
living elsewhere, which is our pur
pose, so far as telling the truth will
accomplish it. Fortunately, we can
speak well of our town and its peo
pie withort yarning."
Building and Loan Association
A satisfactory understanding hav

naries to be observed, an ope.ung is
now formally announced for the sub

ready for signatures. The following
s a copy of the same :
We, the undersigned, pledge our
fives to subscribe the number of
shares opposite our names in a build
ing association to be established
under the same constitution and by
laws as those of the Greensboro
rtmhlmfT Association, which has
------ r.
now been run successfully for two
years. Tbe needs of the town for a
second association require
another should be established.'

It is confidently believed that by
and through the mutually helpful
features of these associations num
bers of persons may realize their
only possible plan for the acquire-
ment of houses and hornet:, the past
history of similar institutions being
the proof. The same fact is ottested
in the, city of Chailotte, and in num
bers of other places far and near, and
the writer of this article avails him
self of the hand of help which the
new building association sems so
likely to extend. The principle is
the same as acquiring property by
the installment plan in me usuai
way, with the difference that the
Association is a chartered institu
tion, is ' conducted by clearly stated
methods, and makes every man a
helper in return for the help he re
ceives, in oiner wurus, n pr
ominently mutual in its operations.
Since the matter was first agitated, a
number of persons, without solicita
tion, have applied for shares of
stock; and a number of names have
been taken in advance, ine pur
pose is to complete the list, and close
the books by the first day of October,
in order that the advantages of the
Association may be realized as early
as possible. For the present there
are three lists, headed in the same
manner as given above, and which
pledge the subscriber to take the
number of ' shares named. One of
these is at the drug store of Porter &
Daiton, one at this office, and one
with S. R. Jones, at his stoie .near
the market.
All persons will, please take notice,
and signify as early as possible the
amount of stock they require.

The premium list of the 73rd

4th, 5th and 6th, 1SS5, has been received.
Can't Bk Trur. Rev. Sam Jones
gets $200 a week for preaching.
Moody receives the same. Ex
change. This estimate cannot be true, for
this would involve.a rrgular system
of collection and disbursement to
make any specified amount. The
very highest assumption in that di
rection would be that the two men
received liberal compensation by
means of the free-will offerings of
their hearers. But to say that "Sam
Jones gets $200 a week for preach
ing, and Moody receives the same"
is the guess of a scribbler, who
makes out a coincidence between the
two men in the amount received by
each a coincidence which, even if it
existed, would not be known to the
public. The truth is, we venture to
say, that neither or the men would
receive $200 a week for their ser
mons, to be devoted to their own
personal uses.
"Just one Glass". Shriek after
shriek penetrates the air : curse after
curse fall from the hps of a frenzied
man ; but his heart rending cries can
not bring him that with which ha seoks
to quench his thirst. No stream can
subdue the fire that is consuming him
Oh, God, in pity, in mercy, snatch him
from the burning! Oil, ye murderers
of the soul, ye manufacturers of woe,
ye dispenser of the maddening fury,
ye servants of the Fire King I List ye
all to tbe voice, harsh, yet suppliant,
as it entreat, implores you for ocft
more, just one mor, glass! Ten years
ago to night he fared sumptuously in
one of the most elegant mansions in
the "City ot the Strait :" ha was
climbing the ladder of fame by hit
own talent, with a strong foothold on
success. A noble, generou disposi
tion and temjierate habits were his;
the beat of wiven comforted and en
couraged him, and I beautiful children
made him rejoice that he lived. Nine
years ago to-night, weary and ill from
overwork, a companion placed befoie
bim a sweetened glass "to rouse hia
flagging strength." Kefusala were of
no avail, and in one fatil moment he
yielded to his friend' persuasion and
assurance that "just one glass" would
not, coald not, injure him. Oh, that
one glass! How often has he seen
pictured therein such misery as
would move a heart of stone, such woe
as would make the very angels weep!
That one glass! How it' entered into
bis very life! . How; it stood like an
impassable gulf between him and furth
er success? how it imprisoned his soul,
bis mind, his body, and them all cap
tive held, how like an adder it stung
him, as if in tbe wake of a whirlwind
it gave wings to his property, his home,
to his wife and to his children, and
and now was thrusting him cruelly and
relentlessly into that untried world!
Oh! that one glass, with what phantom
like swiftness it served as a key for
tbe admittance of the world's most
monstrous fiend and thief into all his
possessions and attainments, devastat
ing his hopes and his joys, his character
and peace, and opening tbe path for
death to enter and to rob him .of his
heart-broken wife, ope of the purest
and fairest on earth, and his children-
brightest gams-cleaving ! him alone
with himself, a wreck on tbe verge of
limitless eternity ! No fond wife's
caie and devotion there, no childish
prattle to call him to life in that ' close,
heated room, where he is breathing his
last words iu curses and pitiful sup
plication- for "just one glass mors!"
Oh I ' young men, young wonctn, - just
launching oh the vast ocean of life. 1
beseech you to clothe yourself with that
impenetrable armor of total abstinence,
and under no considerations cast it
aside. Oh ! see to , it that your lips
never touch the glass that contains the
key to such suffering and sorrowful
reality as this truthful incident depicts.
Oh I taste not, tonch not, handle not,
even one glass r ,
Will-Power A Young Man's
Fobtune. President Gat, 0:
Rutgers College, Bays: "Every
toane man has fortune in fact o:
his youth. Tbe energy of youth is
onblanfed by defeat, or worn by
hope deferred. With age one be
comes conservative and looks at as
impossible what a young: person
would endeavor to accomplish, in
many canes with success. Sell
confidence, or self conceit, if yon
wish to call it so, is a great thing.
A young man's fortune is not to be
found in inherited wealth or bocis
position. Every man is tbe arbiUr
of his own fortune. Uracioua man
ners or busineps habits are good
things to cultivate, but are not all
Will-power is tb young man's for
tune. It is tbe easeuce of tbo man.
A ?oung man with only a. little
will-power is a foregone failure. It
should be cultivated. Genius is a
gift of God aud should not cause
pride, bat an honest pusuit of da
ties is an exibition of will power
and is something to be proud of.
Well-directed, education will-power
is what a young man needs.
Queer vestiges of old-time eti
quette still linger ia Virginia. It
used to be, and in a measure if
still considered the height of rude
ness for one person in driving to
pass another person on the road.
As a result, the slowest coach on
the road could keep all tbe others
behind it; time and distance were
relatively of no importance. Even
now tbe people apologize when
they pass each other on tbe road.
It has also been alleged that a real
ly high-bred Virginian never bo far
forgets etiquette as to inquire of a
6tranger where be was from, be
cause the stranger might be forced
to acknowledge that he was from
some other State than Virginia and
it was only charity to spare him
this mortifying admission. It is
hotly-disputed point, and has been
for tho last 5200 years, whether a
guest spending the night with bis
host should make tbe move to go
to bed or whether the host should.
