ORDER OF MARCH

When yon pay a dollar
a stranger for a ten-oent pt n
pair five-cent spectacles, or a ten
cent knife and a paper, yon are
being worked for a sucker.
Prof. H. B. Varnar, of Liziug
ton, N. 0., has decided not to ran
for congress in his district. The
Professor has acted very wisely
The Watchman bad nothing agin
oar neighbor and therefore did
not flatter him beoause of his am
bit ion, thereby encnraging him tc
attempt too much. The Profes
sor however, generaly makes
good showing when he goes after
something and would no doubt
average up well should he occupy
a seat in congress. There are not
many newspaper men who Wuuld
not.
