It is a fact, .says the Waterbury Repub lican, that newspaper readers do not slight advertisements. They have come to realize that advertisements in a news paper represent the goods which the mer chants have for sale, and they take pains to familiarize themselves with what storekeepers have to offer." Moreover, the constituency oi a paper are very apt to be governed by what they read in their j own paper. If tne paper is accepted in its political, moral and intellectual tone as ourfhome paper, its advertisers share the respect aud confidence bestowed upon the paper itself. This is an important fact for advertisers to remember. Cruelty to Animals, I would not enter on my list of friends, Though graced with polished manners and fine sense.

COWPER. i I It is a good thing for some of our peo ple that we have no society for the pre vention of cruelty to animals here, out perhaps the com. nuuity would be bene fitted by such a one. How often do we see horses and mules oa our streets, that we know it is noth ing short of cruel and iuhu nin to drive them, and yet they are made to haul what would be a big load for sound animal. . How long wiH it be now. before a great many of our young men will be out every evening they cau be spared from their occupations, with no other, dbject in view than the heartless and "senseless amuse ment of killing bull-bats for mere kill ing's sake or wounding them so they may perhaps suffer for days and then die. Then too we are afraid our butchers are not as humane as they ought to be. How often are the tails of cattle, being taken out to the slaughter houses, un mercifully aud needlessly twisted, how often are they cruelly beaten when they perhaps have been driven through the 1 hot suu for twenty orunore miles, such - evening last missed the enjoyment of a : rare and striking ; scene.

He then removed to Kernersville Forsyth county. In May 1864, being then eighteen years of age, he was assigned to duty at the garrison in Salisbury where he remaiued till the close of the war. In 1870 he returned to Salisbury-and was employed as salesman by McNeely & Walton, subsequently becoming a member of the firm of Walton & Ross, Ross & Greenfield, and the last two years of his mercantile life, did business alone. He was enterprising and successful, and a more popular merchant never did business here. But misfortune overtook him, and he was forced to give up met chandising five years ago, since which time he bought aud sold cotton, contrib uting largely to the increase of the col ton market of this place. Mr. Ross had numerous friends all over the state who will regret to know that he is no more on earth.

The re mains were taken to Kernersville for interment in compliance with a request made before his death. The Pension Law. . Mr. A. H. Boyden, having had occasion to write to the Secretary of State, Mr. Saunders, in regard to the effect of the late amendment to the Pension Act, pass ed by the last General Assembly, his let ter wa handed to Mr. Sanderliu, the Auditor, to answer. The point forming the subject of inquiry was as to whether the payment of pensions would be made this year under the new or the old act. To this the Auditor answers as followsr " I enclose herewith a copy of the said Act for your information in the premises. By reference to sec. 19 you will see this Act does not go into eilect until after the' year 1889. (See first proviso of said section). Pensions for the present year will be paid out under the old law. Those who have formerly drawn a pen sion under the old law will not be re quired to renew their application under the new act, although certain inclina tion at the proper time may be required of them in order to accomplish the clas sification required in section one. In addition to a copy of the new law I also enclose a copy of the old, and would again repeat that the pension to be paid out the present year will be paid accord ing to the provisions of the old and not the new law." ' ' In addition to this we copy the 19th section ofthe new law, referred to above, as sustaining the answer given by Mr. Sanderliu, as follows: Sec. 19. That all laws and clauses of laws coming iu conflict with this act are hereby repealed : Provided, that uotbing in this act contained shall be construed to repeal or in any wise interfere with the appropriation and payment of pen sions provided for in chaptertwo hun aud fourteen of the laws of one thousaud eight hundred and eighty-five, entitled, uAu act for the relief of certain soldiers of the late war between the States," as amended by chapter one hundred aud sixteen of the laws of one thousand eight hundred and eighty seven, for the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine : Provided further, the appro priation made by the present act shall be instead of appropriations made by chap ter two hundred and fourteen of the laws of eighteen hundred aud eighty-five, as amended by chapter one huudred and sixteen of the laws of eighteeu hundred and eighty-seven, aud not additional thereto. -I I"' JAEarity. . : : A fight in the streets of oar town ' has got to' be a rarity. It was far more com mon yeaM ago, when the population' of the town was cot half 'what it 'it; now. The prfieut generation Is certainly an. improvement on preceediug ones in this respect. It may be due, and we think it is, that there Is vastly less drunkenness n o w than in former times. The whiskey and brandy of . those days were home mode products free from all of kinds of adulterations and doctoring; cheap, and and not so deadly in their effects as those of to-day, but yet produce drunkenness and fights. Almost everybody then drank, and a much larger prportion of the population drank to excess, and hence came the frequent fisticuffs on ojr streets, especially on public days at General musters, political meeting?, election aud show days, &c. But all this h.is changed. The covered wagon with the hind gate let down and serving as a table or couuter, where men could buy a pint or a gallon of whiskey, bran dy, cider-royal or sweet cider, and stand aroaa 1 a:i J dria, a i l e.it guier bread, is gone gone glimmering iu the almost forgotteu past; and those who now want "a little" must go into a licensed retail shop and get a single drink, nnd pay as much for it as he paid for a quart in former timts villianous liquor at that bad enought to burn out his ''copper" iu a few years. This change iu the cus toms of the people, has doubtless pro duced the change in their habits. Public sentiment iu respect to ' drinking has changed, and instead of condoning the offense of drunkeuness has put upon it its condemnation. The habitual or even occasional iuebriant cannot now com mand postious of trusts aud confidence. He is looked upon as a leprbues crea ture, a subjest of pity, and is never thought of when a reliable man is want ed. If a church member, as some of them are, his name on the church book is smirched with records which will go down to future generations and tell his character. If of a belicose nature when drunk, the records of the Courts perpet uate the memory of his deeds and char acter. Public sentiment, made up from facts like these, is far stronger than it once was, and is a' powerful factor, iu restraining drunkenness, and institut ing safe-guards for the protection ofthe young aud thoughtless. It should be strengthed by the cheerful support of every muu aud woman iu thtjland; for iu it is a povor for the h-ippine.i3 and peace ofall.

Andrew Bal four, of those revolutionary times iu the days of our good aud great President, Washington. She was a Miss Elizabeth Dayton, of Newport, R. I. Balfour came to America from Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1872, landing at Boston. He was a lew years iu the North married Miss Day tou in New York city. In 1777 he sailed for Charleston, but the distracted state of the country induced him to leave his wife and her children with relations in New Euglaud until he could prepare a southern home for them, but soon after this the tide of war turned south and rolled its wave over the Carolinas, and her husband cast his lot with the defend ers of the home of his adoption (North Carolina); but he soon fell a victim to the barbarity of u party of royalists led by Col. Fannin, a British officer, who mur dered Balfour in his house in the pres ence of a sister and his eldest child. Soon as Mrs. Balfour heard of her hus- He then look nn hU mUu.. in the town of his bride. His father having been in fine financial circumstances, he brought with him to ilt Pleaaot plenty of wealth. Although not be.nr one of iu fim yet justly he can be looked upon as one of the oca woo nave, Deen the instruments by which Mi. Pleasant has become what she is. Is the beginning of his early residence here, the building of N.C. College was conceived, and he was one of the first men who "gave it his heaity support. Not only did he use his influ ence and genius for the grand olo cause of ed ucation, tut cheerfully did he reach down in bis full pocket and from thence pull out thi thousand dollars at a time, and gladly donate it for the erection and suppart of X. C. College, upon which the pro3peritr of this place has ana ever wilt depend. Ever will the people of pmce rcmemotr w uoble support he gave w'en oniy its infancy, when .uUk a ucany support u would have fallen. He was elected a Trustee of .his college at its founding, and remained In this nnsitirtn until he tendered his resignation at a call-meeting of the N". C. Evangelical Lutheran Svnod at su. rieasant, in December, 18S5. Thus as an officer closed his life of truly devoted attach ment to a college which he nursed while iu its infancy, Watched over with vigilant eyes while growing, .nd when it had grown into maturi ty he turned his pnrt over to younger men for tjeir care and support. Vheii the war broke out he was appointed Major, and was employed during the first of the war in conscripting troops; towards the end be was in active service, being connected with the Home Guard. The war, that great ravager of cities, towns an1 ktmaa 1 . -1 t "" iwuueeieu wun nnancial reverses, left him in considerably weakened circumstan ces, but not too much for him to be an honor and a supporter of the town. He has been elected and has served several term? as Mayor of this town, aud every time he has faithfully discharged the duties incumbent upon this re sponsible officer. Always has he been- faithful citizen of this place. When anv new enterarise was atritnted which was likely to prove beneficial to the- town, it was sure to receive his powerful aid. Xot lone ago he went as a delegate representing uis mwn 10 a rai'roaa convention, and did everything in his power to seenre the road. Thus we a.ways find him alive aud avakeJto the interest of his place. . His wife died in the latter part of the year L ist summer he contract? 1 some disease of the heart, an I ever since ha has been confined tj his room. Ua the mor i.ig of May 4th he seemed remrkab!y better, aud expressed him self us more favorably impressed ab ut his re covery tlian he had ever been before, but at 10 uYlocH p. in. of the same day the Lord sudden ly called him from t4tis world of sir. an 1 sor row to meet Him at the great Tribunal of jus tice He was sitting in his chair with only his son, Lewis, present, when his head began to fall over. His son, terrified, ran for assist ance, but before it came, his soul had taken its departure and aid was useless. Thus perished a mau whose memory is indelibly written u;m the hearts of the citizens of this place, and a mau to whose memory they cannot pay too much respect. He leaves four sons and three daughters to mourn his loss, three of his children being dead. Before his death he expressed himself as being at peace with God. his maker; not fear ful of the future, but happy, resting iu the promises of salvation to men who truly repent of their sins and seek their Savior. Then, al though a faithtul citizen, a valuable member of Mt. Carmal Church, and a devoted father, why should we mora his loss when we have such blessed assurance that he is at rest in his eternal home of happiness beyond the skies? Let that be a blest assurance ot happiness to his relatives, and not mourn for him, but rather look forward with pleasure to the time that they shall be locked sweetly in each others embraces in that new Jerusalem, where there 13 no parting, neither semblance of unhappi ness.
