Last June, the question of issuing bombs to erect school buildings and to levy a tax to support Graded school was submitted to the voters of Concord. It carried by a small majority. The following board of trustees was elected : Messrs. V 1 Fetzer, Jno. A Cliue, J M Odell, D J Sat. terfu-ld, II S Puryear, chairman, W J 8 wink, secretary. This board is faithful. It has doubtless made some mistakes, but they were of the In ad and not of the heart. A board with the interest of children and the success of the schools to a greater degree could not have been selected.

The North Carolina Teacher's Cu- han Tour will be one of the most charming trips ever made by our people. No place on the globe is so delightful as Cuba for a winter visit it 1). ing the most beautiful of all the West India Islands. The party will consist of a very select and congenial company of about fifty persons com prising about twenty of our Raliegh people. The total nccesary expenses of the fifteen day tour will be but $75, less that half the regular cost of such a trip. The fare is strictly first class on railroads, steamer, and at the Hotel Muscotte in Havana. Persons who desire to join the par ty should address Col.

To grin and b. ar it is the American way of meet ing adverse fortune, and no better way has, hi yet, been clevis d. One of the most comforting and consoling features of the hard times now fastening its iron grip upon this country is the fact that its fatality is equalized in si manner thoroughly impartial and iuuiscriminating. Tin-re are no privileged classes, no favored few, upon whom fortune .-mi ie-. from behind a frowning irov iuence. We are all in it, from the woman grinding at the i ts.Ill to Pharaoh upon the throne, am; there Is a lot of solid comfort in the fact. While the grashopper devastates tiie grain Holds and the canker worm destroys the corn, while the blight, the mildew, the weevil and potato bug hold high carnival north and west, and the. cotton crop, shrinks and shrinks till there's nothing left of it, while nothing is what it should be, except the never- f i;.,g -Kortgage, and while the far- de.-pi.-ate enough to attempt any thing proposed by -diarchy and re- venge.

A due consideration of this feature of the kindly providence which con trols events assists cue greatly in adjusting himself to the circum stances surrounding him. The law of compensation rules everywhere in tiie affairs of men. We get noUiing without giving value receive!, and we lose nothing without getting value received, in some shape or other. Wisdom is the main ' thing, in fact the only thing that is of per manent value, and all possessions are convertible into it; sooner .or. later are converted into it. It is said that blessings brighten as they take their flight, and the saying is true if it means that we recognize their value at tiie moment of exchange.
