We call him a poli tician. It is much more polite, and now-a-days a great deal more fash ionable. Citizen. 4 "' It Yesterday's Wil rnington Star says, we are sorry to inform our readers, that Dr. Bobbin's physi cians express hut little hope of his recovery. The hill for taking the census in 1890 has pas-eel the House of Rep resentatives. We hope it will not take ten years to complete this cen sus as it did the last one. Indiana Republicans are in sack cloth and ashes. They are hewail ing the fact that their man Harrison has apparently turned himself over, body and soiil, to Blaine. The Xewsl and Obsercer thinks the Legislature will adjourn about March the 11th.. That, we believe, will put-the members in for two days1 service without pay. Hon. Whitelaw Reid, of the Tri bune, is reported as saying he would not have a Cabinet . position. It seems to us we have heard some thing about a fox once calling some grapes sour. ; The 'Times- Parnell trial discloses the fact that the 1'imes paid over S 1 0,000 for the Parnell letters, al though the persons selling them would not vouch for their genuine ness at the time of date. The Wilmington Star is most em- - i -phatically opposed to the Cowles bill. It says : "It is to be hoped. that J Cowles's bill will be killed as dead as Hector in the House. Do not help! he Radicals. The farmers will no it be really benefited by the passage of his bill1 I We are very glad to see that the resolution inquiring into the why and he wherefore of certain rich corpor ations m the State, not paving; anv axes, passed the House yesterday. Push this matter, gentlemen, and let's have the taxes out of these cor porations. Steak ing of the taking of the cen sus of 1S90, the New York Sun says : '.The Census Bureau has given the assurance that the statistics taken next year w ill all be in print in 1892. The last census give us twenty-four volumes, containing nearly 20,000 pages; the next,! according to the promises made,? will give us not more than on6-quarter as many, i It has been hard work to limit the range of themes to be taken up:' The Asheville Citizen asks the question, k'Do lotteries tend to im morality ?" and then argues the question at great length in the aflir . . f A 1 1 f mauve, ui course mey cio, ior ev erv man who buvs a ticket is sure of drawing the main prize, and when the returns show that he got noth ing he is so disappointed that he necessarily loses a good big portion of his religion a heap of lottery tickets are sold to church members. ';M. Quad," of the Detroit Free Press, writes the Xeics Observer:"! expect to be in Raleigh by the 4th of March to write up Raleigh, Wil mington, New Berne, Charlotte, Salisbury and perhaps other towns. If your people can be aroused to or ganize and put forth an effort this spring their work will be well re warded. There is going to be a movement Southwards and scores ot people have come to me to ask me to look into this . and that while 4n your State." Why not have Dur ham included in the above list of towns? Now, Durhamites, is a good opportunity to have our town brought to the front as one of the most important points in the State. DURHAM, N. C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1889. TOWN TALK.

Lockhart and Miss Lessie Southgate went down to Raleigh yesterday to attend the or gan recital at the new Methodist church, but after reaching there found the exercises liad been post poned. They were not to have their trip turn out unprofitably, however because they had in their party one of the finest organists in the South and they improvised a grand recital of their own, with Miss Lessie South gate as the performer upon the grand organ. Wish we could have heard it. Plant Photographs. Mr. II. L. Finlayson, of Goldsboro, was in town this morning. Mr. J. S. Garr returned yesterday evening from the New Berne Fair.

The following exercises transpired at the session of the County Sunday School Convention alter our report ot yesterday : At 2 o clock, p. m., Gospel Hymn .No. llo was sung. On motion, the delegates to the State Sunday Scliool Convention were instructed to invite that body to hold its next session in Durham The topic, "The True Aim of Teaching," was presented bv Rev.

N. Snow. jThe question of finance was pre sented for consideration, and it was ordered that an assessment of one cent per capita be levied upon all the Sunday. Schools in the county. The session closed with the bene diction of Rev. Dr. E. A. Yates. Words of Truth. We heartily commend the follow ing words of truth, from the Balti more Manufacturers'' liei -or d, to the careful rejection of our business nen generally': "Some business men seem to be incapable of appreciating the fact that every good local paper does its own ten times as much good as it is ever paid for. Men having large in terests m a town and deeply con cerned as to its progress, often try o see how little they can do for their own local papers. The papers of the South are to-day doing far more tor the good of their country than they receive credit for. Dav after day and week after week, they are teliing of its advantages of soil, cli mate and minerals and its progress. Hie tacts which thev give are widelv published in other papers, and thus the good work is carried far bevond their immediate Circle of readers. "If the merchant and other busi ness men of the community could only know as do the publishers how constantly the columns of their lo cal papers were advertising their town abroad ajid advertising it to great advantagesso far from takinu credit to themselves in the patron age which they extend as if they were making a donation ; they would gladly double and thribble theii support, assured in all cases they were getting a handsome equivoh nl for the m'onev expended " Wedding Bells. A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch gives the following descrip tion of the marriage ceremony ol Mr. C. A. W. Barham, Jr., and Miss Mary Hannah Wilkinson, who are now on a visit to the groom's father. Mr. C. A. W. Barham, Sr. : "West Point, Va., Feb. 20, "1889. Marriage bells rang out in West Point early this morning with a pe culiarly joyous sounds - St. John's Episcopal Church was the place, 8 o'clock the; time, Rev. Pendleton Brooke, the officiating minister, and Miss Mary Hannah Wilkinson, daughter of Mayor E. W7ilkinson, one of our most popular young la dies, was united in holy wedlock to Mr. Charles A. W. Barham, private secretary and stenographer for Mr. P. H. Adams, general agent of the Piedmont Air Line. The church was, beautifully deco rated and the chancel was banked with rare and handsome cut flowers, while on either side were groups of potted plants. Immediately over the altar hung a monogram, 'W. B.,' in evergreens and vari-colored elec tric lights. Iheeflect was beautiful and our people have never ' seen a prettier ceremony. Messrs, Richmond Bland, J. R. Courpland, V .A. Hughes and E. Wilkinson, J r., acted as ushers. At the appointed hour the bride en tered, leaning on the . arm of her father, preceded by two little girls Sadie Adams and Maud Slaughter and was met at the altar by the groom, accompanied by his best man, Mr. T. F. Shumate. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party and a few guests breakfasted at thehomeofthebride's parents, and left on the train for the home of the groom's parents, in North Carolina, where they will stay some time, and then return here. They have the best wishes of their many lnends here. Pilgrim. Referring to the happy event, the West Point Star says : "The floral decorations were beautiful, and the unique electric monogram represent ing Uhe sir-initials of the lady and gentleman made a splendid effect in the darkened church. The whole ceremony, was worthy the event. The presents were numerous, costly and elegant. The Star extends its congratulations to this worthy young couple, and believing that industri ous merit brings its own reward, we confidently predict for them a pros perous future." Durham's New Directory. The New Durham Directory will con tain n?any important features and promises to be of great value to our citizen.?. There will also be a country edition of the work and it will therefore prove to be a valuable advertising medium. The white and col ored names will be separate in the work and a Commercial Directory added. The fact that many of our busi ness men have already availed themselves of the advertising pages goes to show that Durham stands at the head of the list of the enterprisingcities of the Old North State. $5.00 PER ANNUM.
