To the People of the Eighth Congres
sional District.
Fellow Citizens, we invite your at
tention to the following resolution passed
by the late Democratic Convention ;at
Washington and offered by Mr. Dewfcy ol
j Craven:
k: "Resolved, that the "Tarboro Press"
-
from its zeal and devotion .to the advance
ment of the principles of democracy, s en
titled to the support of every demdera',
and deserves the especial patronage ob this
Congressional district, as it is the.only de
mocralic paper in its limits, and has sustain
ed itself through all its ditnculties.
We return our- sincere thanks to Mr.
Dewey particularly and the Convention
generally, for this mark of their approba-
, tiori and esteem. We have labored jardu
ously in the cause of sound principle ant
expect to do so still, should a kino" provi
dence snare us and should our fr
lends
. . . a .
.mete out to us the patronage, whic
fi the
only Democratic paper in the District de
serves.
The patronage of the Press is
very
smallL but by proper exeri ions it may be
enlarged. In the mean time, we repeat,
that the Press will earnestly advoca
claims of Mr. Clark; because, we believe
he was fairly yes, fairly nominated,

TAKING A NEWSPAPER.
JL PRACTICAL STORY PLEASANTLY TOLD.
"A pleasant day this, neighbor Ghask
ill,"said one neighbor to another, coming
Into the barn of the latter, who was enga
ged in, separating the chaff from his wheat
crop, by means of a fan.
"Very fine days, friend Alton. Any
news?" returned the individual addressed.
"Know nothing of importance; I have
called over to see if 5'ou would'ni join Car
penter and myself in taking the paper this
year. The price is p'nly two dollars.
"Nothing cheap that you don't want,"
returned Ghaskill in a positive tone. 1
don't believe in newspapers; never heard
of their doing any good. If an old stray
one happens to get into our house, my
girls are crazy after it, and nothing can be
got out of them until it's read through.
They would'nt be good for a cent if a pa
por came every week. And, besides dol
lars aiht picked up in every corn hill."
"But think neighbor Ghaskill, .how
mach information your girls would get if
the had a fresh newspaper every week
filled with all the latest intelligence. The
time they would ; spend in reading it
would be nothing to what they would
Sa,n-
'And what-would' they gain, I wonder!
Get their head filled with nonsensical
stories. Look, at Sally Black, isn't she
fine specimen ot one ,ot your newspaper
reading gals? Not worth to her father,
three pumpkin seeds. 1 remember well
enough when she was one of the most prom
ising little bodies about here. But her father
.was fool enough "to take a newspaper. Any
one could see a change in. Sally! ?he be
can to snruce up and look smart. First
came a bow on her Sunday bonnet, and
then cloves to go to meeting in. After
that she must be sent to school again, and
that at the very time when she had be
gan to be worth something about home
And now she's got a forty piano, and a fel
ler comes every week to teach her music."
" I henvou loin us neighor, Ivlr. Al-
fon said, avoiding a useless reply to Ghas
kill.
"O no. That I will . not. Money
thrown away on newspapers is worse than

good. "The time spent in reading a news
paper every week would be enough to" raise
a hundred bushels of potatoes. Your news

any price ,
J Mr. Alton changed the subject, and soon
after left neighbor Ghaskill to his own fan
cies. ;
About two months afterwards, however,
they again met, as they had frequently done
during the intermediate time.

Mr. Alton, i '
"Yes." , : .

"Why, I thought eveiy one knew that
the price had advanced to ninety-two cents!

eighty-five cents, the market pricei and 1
said he might as well have it,' as there was
doubless little chance of its rising. Yester-
day he sent over his wagon and took it
away
4That was hardly fair in Wakeful.
Hi
knew the prices had advanced. He came to
me also and offered to buy my crop at eigh
ty hve cents. But I had just received my

down rig;ht cheating, to take such shameful
advantage of a man's ignorance."
"Certainly, Wakeful cannot be justified
in hi conduct," replied Alton. lt is not
right for one man to take advantage of ano

less than they are worth. But does not

"You cannot, surely, - be in earnest!"
farmer Ghaskill said, with a look of pro

"It is every word true," replied Mr.
Alton. "And now, you will hardly say
that newspaper is dear at any price, or that
the reading of them has spoiled Sally
Black."
Ghaskill looked upon the ground for
many minutes. Then raising his head, he
half ejaculated with a sigh; f i-
"If 1 hav'nt been a confounded fool I

no longer. I'll subscribe for a newspaper
