business men: Multiply any given nun
ber of dollars by the number of days of
interest required, separate the right
hand figure and divide by tlx. The re
sult is the true interest for sich a num

so simple and so true, according to all
business usages, that every banker, bro

by for reference and use. There being

is scarcely any liability to error or mis

The Lecture Last Sight.
Notwithstanding the very inclement
weather last night a goodly number of
appreciative persons attended the Opera
House to listen to Dr. Eugene Grissom's
lecture, under ths auspices of the Wil
min&rton Library Association. The
htheme chosen by. that gentleman was
"The Prince f. Men" referring to
King David. . l ue lecturer gave a very
full and elaborate history of King David,
relating many remarkable incidents in
thw eventful life of this shepherd's boy
who was afterwards the great King of
Israel and father of Solomon the V ise
Dr. Grissom, at the beginning, claimed
for this illustriouslsraelite that ho wa3 the
greatest among men. There were many
beautiful passages in thi3 most interest
ing discourse that gave evidence of deep
thought and scholarly research. Dr
v -
Grissom is a clear thinker and a pleasaa
speaker, and he kept his sudience inter,
ested in his subject last night,- from the
boffinning until the close. We regret
exceedingly the unfavorable circumstan-
ces which prevented a larger audience, I
but we teel we can safely promise the
distinguished gentleman, shouldhe honor
us with another visit. ( if we have more
propitious weather) a full house and a
like appreciative audience.
He that is not with us. to-morrow is
against us.
There must be no division in our ranks-
Otherwise-the enemy may slip in at the
gap aad flank us. Then we will have a
nice kettle of fish for the next two years.
