The sunshine that comes to all is cause for thankfulness, and darkness that shuts out business cares and invites to sleep makes us thankful. But we North Carolinians.have espec ial cause for thankfulness. Where in all the world is there a land more bless ed of heaven? Health revels in its mountain breezes and rejoices in its feof t sea air. Fruits and flowers spring spontaneously from its bosom, and fields of golden grain reward the hus bandman. We will enter the courts of the Lord with thanksgiving, we will give thanks to the God of our salva tion. But there is yet greater cause of thankf uluess, still higher reason for gratitude. Here in this old North State the mind hae scope for its loftiest Chough, and the soul rises on exultant wing to its native heaven. When we consider the intellectual and moral darkness that envelops many portions of our planet, how should our bosoms swell with gratitude in tbat. tb lines have fallen unto us in pleasant places and ours is a goodly heritage! Thankfulness and gratitude are best attested br works of beneficence. It is right on all proper occasions to express our gratitude in words and lift up our hearts in thankful song, but it is better still to let our deeds express emotions no language can portray. To act the heart and live the soul amid "the war of elements," is to ennoble the world by living in it, and mafre bright the path to heaver. Ex. ALLIANCE NEWS. The Virginia State Alliance pass ed resolutions thoroughly Dem ocratic. It is claimed that there will he fifty Alliance members in the Fifty second Congress. The Farmer's Alliance of Geor gia adopted cotton bagging as the Alliance sobering for cotton. The Farmers' Alliance of Mis fioun have declared against the Sub-treasury plan and stand flat footed on the Democratic plat form. The Sooth Carolina Colored State Farmers' Alliance Convention have declared that there should be no politics whatever in the Order. The farmers of the country are iionest men who have too long borne unjust burdens, and it is right for them to assert their rights and vig orously maintain them. These rights can be best secured through the Democratic party, and nine-tenths of the Alliance men know it and appreciate the situation. Ex. 95 Frenchmen Street, San Francisco, November 8, 1880, Microbe Killer Co.: Gentlemen After suffering from catarrh for eight years, during which I tried various patent medicines and was treated by regular physicians, even specialists I determined to give your Microbe Killer a trial. After two jugs had been taken an improvement in my health became perceptible, which stead ily continued. Now I am taking my seventh jug. I am so far recovered as to entertain once more a hope which I had long lost that of a complete and radical cure. Gratefully vours, Hbmbt Rjgoxho. For sale by Hooper Co.

The premium list has been carefully and thoroughly revised and corrected and is now full and complete, The wants of exhibition have been careful ly studied, and concessions made wherever the exhibition could be pros pectively strengthened, and as great liberality is displayed in the prizes offer ed we are assured of a matchless, mam moth exhibition, of all the multiplicity of our country's choice Agricultural, Mechanical, Industrial Material and Artistic Products.
