The Reporter. ENTERED AT THE POST orrtcc IN DAN BURY, AS SECOND CLASS MATTER { PEPPER t soys, Puli*. and Props. j THURSDAY, AUUUBT 11, 1881. The Coming Men. There is a very general complaint 1 that il is becoming more and more diffi cult to find desirable occupations for 1 boys. In all the vast industrial and commercial machinery of the country there seems to be DO space for the lads i who must shortly be the men of another generation. There was a time when boys were regularly apprenticed on me chanioal trades or mercantile. Tuey served three or four )ears —and it some oases a much longer period—in tho shop, store or counting-house, and rose, by slow degrees, to be partners, beads of , bouses, or independent masters in their own line of life Other boys went to sea, after receiviug a good common school education, and passed through the several stages of promotion as cabin boy, before the mast, ordinary sailor, master, and captain All these, whether on sea or land, were the tons of American citi xens, and weic for the most part on a common level. There was not so much dislike for manual labor as there has been in later years. Undoubtedly there then existed mote sturdiness of cbarac ter. The boy who learns no trado, masters no useful and productive calling, has lost bis chaoce. Men. thougti they, may be prosperous and successful, as the world goes, sometimes turn back with a cry of regret for their lost youth For a moment, before they tako jp their bur den and go on, tbey plead that the heal thful bloom, which no power in Heaven or earth can restore, shall be theirs again The boys of this generation are in great need that something be done to fit them for the manhood which comes apace. Tbey complain that theie is no room for them anywhere— Bethlehem Star. Sympathy in Suffering. One of the redeeming qualities of poor, weak human nature is to sympa- I this with the aiHfuted and Unfortunate, howwer much we 4iay differ with them in social standing, pOiitMs or religion No highoa or more boauiful .illustration or mtar raji was lwr»i«WDJn that pi #7 aented io the ease of our atriea«n Pre- ' aident. Around this altar of affliction have met Republicans and Democrats, Jews and Gentiles, saints and sinners, all eager to pour the sweet balm of friendly j sympathy aud personal sorrow into the ear of our Chief Magistrate and bis de roted wi r e. No tenderer words of condulence have been uttered anywhere than those which have come up from the South, and may we not hope that out of this national sorrow, which has bowed and blended all hearts, tin re may come a warmer and more friendly feeling be tween North and South and a new pledge of devotion to the welfare of our entire country ? The hands upoo the world's great dial plate never turn back, uor do the wheels of God's providence move in ao uncer taio direction. Wc. have passed through our baptism of blood, out of which came hate, murder and death Now we stand at the bedside of our suffering President with sorrowing hearts, and over bis maDly form we clasp hands snd pledge to esch othet a warmer friend ship, a tiuer brotherhood aad a united intereat for the future prosperity of the Nation.— Washington World KILLED WITN A TOY PISTOL —On Tuesday of last week, a negro boy Henry Coles, eleven yesrs of age, son of Sergeant Coles, shot snd killed Coles, nine years of age, the son of Davy Coles, the affair taking place in Capt. James Me 1 Dearman's field, some mile and a half i from Danville. The shooting was done with a toy pistol—soeh a weapon as may be purchased of a oonfeetien?r for 25 cent*. We are told that boys buy | these pistols and get blank cartridge i with them, and sre in the habit of ram aaing dowo shot or slugs on top th« pow der cartridge,and thus laaded the dimin utive weapon will do more or less execu tioo. ID thia case the boys were nesr I together and the ahot entered the heart, i causing death in about five miDutes. It appeared in evidence, ia examination of the oase, that the boy who did the shooting bad gone to the field to oatch some horses and there met thii other one with some companious. He alleged that the shot wae accidental, and on that groand was diaoharged from ousto dy Danville Regitter. A Herman was in a room with a d >x*n other ledgers, trying to sleep, but was kept awake by their terrific Mioring At ' last one of the snorsrs,' who'd been sha king the building for half ao hour, gave } a aaort and stopped short "Thank Gott, { von iah lead !' said the Dutchman. Tobacco Crop. The Clarkesville Tobacco Leaf* ays: From the best information that we have been a' le to gather, tbo cmp is very unpromising Farnr.ers failed to get oat a full planting, and the i moat of that act is very late, plants in ' fcrior, and considerable damaged by the hot, dry weather The stand is by no iiiesus good, and most of the planting ! still in the clod*. From reports, a half crop will be a fair basis for a calculation ; ! unless we shall have a remarkably favor able season from now on pushing the j plants in vigorrus growth. GENERAL TRADE —Iron is improving liu price, here and abroad. This article I was the first to rise and the first to react Perhaps it will now lead in another boom. The clearing house exchanges continue on an enormous seal* for the 1 whole country, 45 per cant, in excess of last year's large amounts Meu do not make out checks unless they transact hu : sinets Hence it is clsar that the gen eral trade of the country is io a stato »l 'remendous activity The fall trai'o in ) dry goods opens well. Wall street is t blind guide, so far as i the present condition of trade is cun ctrned ; though of course the whole as pect may change should the crops prove short Cotton. FIVE TUOUSAND COMETS FOR JULY. — Observers at Savannah, Ga., report dis covery of five thousand new and brilliant hued comets, each with a long and most elaborate tale.

Horsey Battle in hit admirable des cription of W'iostOOTgives the following I ascountof Pace's Brick Warehouse, Pace Jk-0«4r*ll, mammoth ' monument of briek was let by contract to Miller Bros , builders of Winston, on : the lat April, at which time tho bricks were io the clay and the timber standing .in the forest.

The sales floor is lighted by 40 solid sky lights 36x72 inches iti the roof, in ad dition to side windows. A 750 lb bell in a 43 feet bellfrey to announce begin ning of sales, with a fire alarm attach ment to be used in case ol fire and to strike the hours and half hours during ; the night by a watchman. Tho elegant brick office and wagoners rooms on the flanks make it the biggest and best for the purporc io North Carolina or Yir ginia. Carolina Watchman. CROP PROSPECTS —From the best in formation we can prooure, we feel justi fied in saying that the prospeot for tobac co is very gloouiy The drouth has affected tho crop generally, particularly the early planting. At this time, there is very little tobacco lopped ; a great deal i» hut little larger than when plant cd, with a tendency to button j tnuch of it is firing at tho ground, and dying out in the hill from theexeessive dry weather. —Danville Time It may not, perhaps, be known that a man wearing dark clotees is more liable j to infection from coutagioui d seasc than he who wears light-oolored garments, be 1 cause particles whijh emanate from dis | eased or decaying bodies are much more : readily absorbed by dark than light la i brics This is easy of proof. Expose a light and dark eoat to the fumes of I tobacco for five minutes, and it will be found that the dark one smells stronger ' than the other of tohacoo smoke, and it i will retain the -odor longer— London j Truth. The Courier Journal nntai that ''the government very rarely orders a raid on | Mooi.nhiners in Pennsylvania and other Northern Slates, where thsy are as nu merous as they are in the South The raids of Rsurn are altogether one sided Thia is another disgraceful feature of the business " The drought continues and is becorn i ing alarming Farmers say upland oorn ! will not mike two bushels to the acre, 1 and tobacco, where it is not dead, is i smalt, does not grow, the leaf sticking up | like "dog-ears," as they describe it. a I one third crop being now out of the ques | tion.— Winston Republican. Our people are becoming alarmed at the continued drouth Early corn is now too far gone to recover Wilkisbaro Index. The Governor of North Carolina has offered a rewatdof 8300 for the arrest •if Elijah Church cAtbis oounty.— With tub oro lndcjc. We are informed that thay had con siderable front at Gap Creek, Ashe county last Sunday morning Wilkhboro In de.t A force is now employed in grading the Virginia Midland Extension, on this side ol the Slate line near Cascade junu tion — Danville RtyitUr. The agricultural department ports the acresge of tobacco largely in exoese of last year ; the coed it ion of the crop is better than at the same time last yeai. It is expected that the iron on the Cape Fear and Yadkin Vullev Railroad will be laid to Greensboro by November Greensboro Buttle Ground. The Winston Republican my# : The convicts on the C. F. and Y V. R. R, made a break fbie week, four made theii escape and one was shot down. The Mt Airy Post says that Mr. 1 Henry C Lewis, a young scientist of I considerable celebrity, has discovered tin ■ ore in Surry couuty, ibe only tin ore found in the liuited Stales. Post master General James notifies postmasters that hereafier every lailure to sell * promptly, at the end of each quarter, without catisfactory reason, will ; be sofficient cause for removal. The annual losses by fire and flood in this country a.nount to over a thousand ! millions of dollars, or three limes the sum required to j>iy the entire running expenses of the general government. If a little vinegar or some cider is mixed with Htove polish it will not lake much rubbing to make the stove bright, and the blacking is not likely to fly off in fiue dust. Mrs. Senator Mahone has twine been the mother of triplets, but an exchange sayjthat somehow this doesn't seem to be a reasonable excuse for her husband's antagonistic attitude and displays ol tem per. Three of our Presidents have died on the 4th day of July. John Adams, the second President, and Thomas J ff*rson, the third, died on July 4, 1820, and James Monroe, the fifth President died July 4, 1831. Garfield came near making the fourth These three Presi dents passed away peacefully from their homes. It will be necessary to increase the number of Congressional districts in tnis State to make place for the ami prehibilion condidaies—that is provided the people decide to »lect that kind 'a*- representatives—a urovisi which it is well to put in.— Charlotte Observer. No (iooi> PIIEACIIINO —No tnan can do a good job of work, preach a gonh sermon, try a law suit well, doctor a patient, or write * good articla wticu he feels miserable and dull, with' sluggish brain, and unstead nerves, and none should make the attempt in such a con dition when it can be eo easily and cheaply removed by a little Hop Ritteis —Albany Time* BARNARD MANUEAOTURIIKI COMPANY Mr. lorao L.

Many, iudeed, cut and houre oats the lame as hay, aud believe it lu be fully as valuable. A MIXED UP PAIR or BARIK*.—Two girl babies were born at nearly ihe same lime, in the muie house, at Oakland, Tenn The mothers were sisters, closely rtsembling each other, mid during the excitement of ihe oioasion the little ones got mixed up before they were dretsed, or iu any way marked tor identification. There is a puxzling uncertainty, for three mouths have elajsed without developing any resemblance tu the lather in either case; aid il Ihe children grow up, as they seetn likely to, with the physical characteristics of their mothers, nobody will ever know iheir exact parentage The present agreement is to decide the question by lot. The 'Fruit Recorder" says We have tride it repeatedly, and never knew it to fail, in case of saving diseased fruit trees —the culling of the diseased part, an-1 | slitting the baik downward on cne side of ibe limb aud body from the affected part.
