There was not as heavy vote polled
as heretofore. The colored people
seem to be careless about toting.
Goxi many voted the Democratic
ticket square through while many
others split their tickets. The poor
old Third party was badly left.
I learn that Roxobel has also gone

racy. P. L.

Today the story will be told. May
the Democrats be victorious.
Oh, how some people will be bam
boozled when the proceedings of this
day's work (politically) is known.
Shimpments of peanuts are now
being made from these parts. Hope
all may realize a good price. t
The law protecting game having
expired iast week our sportsmen are
now slaying 'em.
Roxobel has more cotton buyers
this season than it has bad hereto
fore, but they seem to at random
sometimes as to prices, as the mar
ket is so changeable.
Kite flying funishes amusement
for a number of the academy boy? of
late. ,
The hum of the;cotton gin is heard
daily Just now. j
A shoe repairer is badly needed in
this place. Surely there is room.
One death (col) chronicle i by us
within the past few , days. The
all wise and Omnipotent one doth all
things well.
The dry weather that we have had
for the past month excepting the last
few days, did considerable towards
opening cotton, but alll were proud
to see the shower nevertheless.
The fair was poorly patronized
by Roxobeliions this year. Yes,
cash was the one thin needful, top,
and don't you forget it.
Thanks Giving day will be obser
ved in some way with us, but we
have not as yet heard what the pro
grame will be. i j- .
Mr. J. (j. Baker, after an absence
of some sometime has returned and
accepted a position at the S. A. L.
depot.
Expert fishermen of our vicinity
pronounce carf fishing in the Roan
oke quite a success at present. ,
The Money Order system- went
into effect with the Post Office at
Roxobel Nov. 1st. We deem it
quite a convenience to the people.
Miss Blanch Rives arrived here
from Petersburg, Va., last Friday
and will spend the winter, so we un
derstand. We are pleased to have
Miss Blanch with us.
Mrs. Kennedy, of Warsaw, N. C,
mother of .Prof. Kennedy of Roxobel
Academy, is visiting the Professor
and family at the academy manlion.
Turkeys are reported as existing
in large numbers on the Roanoke
this fall. Huntsmen are ' pretty
eager after them and one-has killed
as many as thirteen. i
A. W. Snell and J. M. Earley
spoke to quite a small crowd here
on Nov. 3d. We were surprised to
know that the third party had; so few
advocates in this township ; still we
received such knuwlcge gladly.
W. P. Everett and Limas Uoulac,
Republicans, were to Lave spoken
here Nov. oth, but tbey did not make
their appearance during the day.
Many were disappointed of course.
It has been stated that we
had no telegraph office. If this
was true then, it is untrue now, for
a sign with these worth, "Western
Union Telegraph Office," is now
snspened over the office door.
Dr. 'Earnest Norlleet, who has
been in the United States, naval de
partment for about 20 years, has,
owing to inferior health, lately re
tireff from duty and returned home.
He gets a compensation of no little
amount nevertheless. 1
Mrs. D. S. Kennedy, teacher of
music of Roxobel Academy, is sick
ljust now, and Miss Minnie Capehart
Is in her stead. MUs Minnie is the
accomplished daughter of our towus-
man, W. J. Capehart.
It is a well known fact that early
in this year Roxobel Alliance num
bered about 125 members, but an
examination of the roll now will
probably diminish the number to 25.
What caused this, Mr. Editor, your
many readers may readily answer,
it was nothing more nor nothing less
than the socalled People's party.
Mr. Thos. Norflect, a well known
citizen and farmer of Roxobel, dc-
sirous of goinr into tho dairy busi
ness, has purchased a number of
milch cows and will soon enter upon
a 1 new . occupation, in addition to
farming.1,- Success, friend, in IbU
undertaking.
Before coing to desk, we learn
that Roxobel township has gona
Democratic by a good majority, tak
ing in consideration the Peoples
party. If the Union should go as
this precinct ha3, it would be a glo
rious victory for Democrats. May
this so be. All passed oif smoothly
with us, so noughts are recorded.

Roxobel, N. C, Nov. 8.
The irorid's Deaand.
Men of the world have a very
high standard for men of thecburch.
Whatever license they take for
themselves, they allow nothing of
the sort to those who are professed
disciples of the Lord Jesus. No
greater mistake is made by Chris
tians who wifch to commend them
selves to unbelievers, than in sup
poaiog that they will gain some
thing by lowering their standard of
personal 1 conduct. The highest
standard in morals is insisted upon
for Christians by men who scolT at
the idea of any such standard for
themselves.
A godless merchant who does not
hesitate to misrepresent tiis goods to
hiq puefnrnpra nr 1 r tnl-o qr)vntara
ot his fellowmen in a bargain, is
quick to declare the sin of a Chris
tian merchant in failing to be frank
and fair and generous in all bis busi
ness dealings. The. stock specula
tor who thinks it is a praiswortby
sharpness on his part to deceive a
buyer into an investment to the lat
ter'a ruin, will cry out against' a
minister or a deacon whose dealings
with stocks in a single instance look
in the same direction. The man of
impure or profane speech is shocked
to hear a coarse story or an irrever
ent expression from a professed fol
lower of Jesus, v
This truth holds good all the way
up aud down tho ecale of morals.
It stands out with peculiar Droml-
nence in connection with habits and
customs which aw jo( debatable
propriety. Many an Irreligious
theater goer ould!be shocked is
shocked on seeing a clergyman
j watching his favorite actor. Many
a godles3 man who plays cards,
dances, smokes, drinks, without
any Qompanctions of conscience
who even denouces as Puritanism
and bigotry all opposition s to such
amusements and indulgences thinks
less of any Christian layman who
is not wholly with-drawn from all
of these practices.
-We are not now asserting the rea
sonableness of this view oftheCbris
tian's duty, by men of the world.
We are simply declaring the facts in
the case. Whether it is right or
wrong for Christians to go to the the
ater, to dance, to play cards, to use
luuaccu, or ut onnK. irreligious men
are commonly ready to find fault with
Christians who do any of these
things, and are likely to think Jess
of those Christians who are thus lar
in practice according to the hihet
0 - - B
1 standard of Christian conduct.
Strictness in conduct, and purity
io'specch on the part of those who
bear the Christian name, are ap
proved by those who arc yet outside
of the Christian fold. A dibciple of
Jesus never losses, in the estimation
of the irreligious, by his rigid adber
ance to the very highest standard of
which the world has knowledge. On
the other hand, he always endangers
his good name with those whom he
would fain win to the truth when he
occupies a lower plane the highest in
the sphere of, Christian morals.
