You cannot serve God and Mammon. When Marion Buffer, while a Senator fsom Ncrth CaroliiiB, accepted a -retainei to bring suit against tae State he eociffiitted an infatiKius offence; but his -offenea was no greater than that of the -law.ver who seeks and accepts effice as the representative of tte people and at the -rame time is the paid at torney ijf a corporation whose in- tesiests -the representative -of the people will have t© consider in conection with the rights of his eonstituents. The Landmark is with Mr. Tur- lir-gton in'this matter, b-at let’s do the business straight. It is foby to beat the devil around the stump.

It will be easy to p&s^ the act Mr. Turlington mentions beeaesa nobody is directly concerned. There will be much pleafiure and much denunciation of Marion Butler, for Marion will have n@ friends to appear for him. But to introduce a measm-e such ai The Landmark suggests in a Leg islature where special interests will be represented by retained attornyes.will take courage and it will mean a fight to secure a con sideration. Mr. Turlington has the courage and his experience as a legislator fits him for the work.

He doesn’t qual ify the cnaracterof the packages. To the men in the nearby set tlements an -express package means birttled dysium. They all join together in giving the pack age a new significaiEce but no two agree as to the legitimate meaning:. T<o some it implies odium. To others, j(ay.

P.N, Stairiback, member- elect from Halifax in the House of Representatives in the next Gonerai .Assembly, died at his home here this morning at 8 o’clock. He took a deadly poison by mistake Taesday last, aou si.oce tc :t time ho has suffered intense agony. His condition was somewhat favorable yesterday, but the end came this morning. Mr. Stainback was a native of Brunswick county. Va., and was born November 7. 1841. He serv ed with conspicuous bravery throughout the war between the states and surrendered at Appo mattox Court House on that me morial April 9, 1885. Mr, Stainback came to Weldon; in 1881, and since that time he has been closely identified with the business interests of the town. He was licensed in 1887 a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal church, and in all church work he was ever loyal and active. The funeral will take place on Wednesday afternoon at half past one o’clock. WOQdirtOd luciiis. the first time in severaf years^ We are informed by Zvlr H.

Most of our -fiative wild crea- tures that -are awake and above board all winter seem to have a pretty cheery time. Food is evi dently at a premium with the nut-eaters ilike the squirrels, and with the iiesfc-eaters -like the foj:, the mink, and the weasel, but these auiuials do siot lose heart, and their record tipon the saow bespeaks a. kind of joyous, not to say hilarious activity. The red fox does not retur-r, to his den during the day and Bulk and sleep; he curls ux.i on a rock on the hillside or under a fallen tree toe in the woods, and cb-aierfully waits for the friendly darkness. The bud-eaters like the grouse, and the bark and -twig eaters like the hare and the -rabbit, are not much inconvenienced by -.deep snows and the cold; neither are the -woodpeckers, nor the chicka- dees, nor the nuthstches; their tidbits.- lurk in or under the -bark of every tree.

He didn't take the trou ble tp dasillusion his friend as to the character of the package. But imagine the disgust of the obliging friend when he discov ered that the package was jutt an old.2xlO catalogue.

Seed merchants here say that notwith standing the larger amount of seed on hand, the probable con sumption of local mills will not be much greater than last year, ■ which was considered a record for cotton-seed oil. The first sales of new seed brought $4.70 the ardeb. The price on November 12 was $4 25] the ardeb, and cotton-seed oil 10 per 100 pounds.
