The best thing to give your enemy

That the Headlight is appreciated
by the business men of Goldsboro is
evidenced by its splendid advertising
patronage and large and grov. ing sub
scription list. Several new advertise
ments in this issue, and a number of
new names entered upon our list this
week. Lt them coutinue to come,
we can accommodate many more.
Much complaint has bean made of
late by many of our country subscri
bers for not receiving the Headlight
at this fiost-office. The fault does not
lie with the delivery-clerk but with the
subscriber. It is impossible for the
former to look for a certain paper with
out being asked. Hereafter, if you
no to the post-office call for The
Headlight and you will be sure to
get it.
A young clerk in one of our fashion
able dry goods stores says take the
customers of the store on an average,
and he had rather wait on ten ladies
in moderate circumstances, than one
who makes riches her boast. The
pretty sempstress buys more readily
and does not higgle about price : the
Queen ot Sheba requires an hour to
make up her mind, and wants a fall of
33 per cent, on all the goods she buys.
Great excitement at Raleigh ! About

E. Cross, and S. C. White, the Presi

al Rank, who have "skipped" to Cana
da last Saturday evening, and left all
depositors in the lurch. As a matter
of coursey the bank is closed, and we
fear that before many days, we shall
hear of the downfall of many a busi
ness house in our sister city. Lynch
ing is too good for such high-toned
thieves and robbers. It is said that
$350,000 has taken unto itself wings
and flown away.
While paying a business visit to
Fremont last Saturday we found its
j businessmen and citizens in general in
j a very cheerful mood. We noticed a
good many improvements which plainly
speeks for the push and enterprise of
its inhabitants. That well-known firm
of Aycock & Bros., are erecting a
substantial brick ware-house and drug
store, next to their extensive establish
ment. We also noted a new "Racket

From every source we hear great
indignation expressed concerning the
rude performance given by the "Early
Birds" at the Opera House last Fri
day night. Such traveling troupes
are a disgrace to civilization., and to
every decent theatrical company. If
we were asked to picture hell, we
wonld point to those fourteen "ladies,"
How such a "variety show" can receive
complimentary notices from respect
able newspapers, is more than we can
account for. The business manager
we suppose can do that. We ask tlu
press of the country to pass them
round, in behalf of an indignant community.
Act At Once.
J2very citizen of Goldsboro should
take an active interest in everything
calculated to promote the growth and
prosperity of the town. There is no
lack of of individual enterprise on the
part of our business men, but is there
that public spirit, that hearty co-operation,
among them that there should
be? The Headlight thinks not.
Let there be united effort, concert of
action, and what glorious results might
be attained. When any good work
is undertaken, how delightful it would
be to see every man put his shoulder
to the wheel. In union is strength,
and united action on the part of our
citizens in every useful public enter
prise, even if some little sacrifice is
requisite for awhile, would in the end
be a just pride to the town, and to the
individual citizen, and a positive bene
fit as well. Push, pluck, good judg
ment, and unity of effort are sure to
bring in handsome returns. With
these principles acted on, and there is
no reason why they should not be,
advancement and prosperity will be
obtained and a spirit of pride engen
dered that no obstacle can defeat.
North Carolina's Pride.
We have often spoken good words
for the Wilmington Star, and now its
entering upon its twenty-first year,
that old favorite, reminds us to speak
again. The Star is a most acceptable
paper, both tor the purity of its style
and excellence of its matter, which is
always void of offense to one's finer
and better feelings. It is an admira
bly conducted paper, replete with the
news of the day, and its broad com
prehensive and progressive spirit man
ifested in its editorials, shows the
guiding force of the paper is a man
abreast of the age a man of sound
judgement, liberal culture, and toler
ant views a man en rapport with the
masses, knowing their want and de
sire, and therefore specially qualified
to conduct a paper in their interest.
That man whose praises we sing, is
Bro. Kingsbury, a polished and vig
orous writer, whose splendid accom
plishments have long been recognized
in journalistic circles. He is to journ
alism what beautiful paintings are to
a wall, or as golden tints of a glorious
sunset to a beautiful landscape. The
Star has always been a steady twinkler
to true Democracy, and it is the earn
est wish of the Headlight, that its
sparkle may never grow dim.

wish him continued success.
The Feast Of The Passover.
The most important of Israel's festi
vals commenced on Monday evening,
and will be observed by all Hebrews
the world over for seven days to come
closing next Sunday.
The feast of the Passover or gene
rally termed "Pesach," is one of the
great feasts in the Hebrew calendar.
It is always observed on the fourteenth
day of the Hebrew month Nissan, and
the first and last days of the feasts are
kept in str'ct accordance wiih the
Mosaic ordinance. Refore its advent
the domicile of every Israelite is
thoroughly cleared from garret to cel
lar, and articles prepared by fermen
tation or containing the least portion
of leaven are removed from the prem
ises. One of the most impressive
ceremonies after the evening services
in the assemblage of families at home,
when, before the evening meal is
spread, a compilation of the historic
narrative of the emancipation of their
pneestors is read by the head of the
family, and wife and children uuite in
songs of the Psalmist.
The strict observance of the holiday
is imparative, and although the event
upon which it is founded took place
more than 3,100 years ago, the child
ren of Israel commemorate the sacred
epoch with unchanging form and cere
mony. Since the destruction of the
second Temple the Passover has been
observed as a purely religious cere
mony, commemorating the deliverance
of Israel from the corporal and mental
thraldom which endured in "Mizrairu"
for four centuries, and culminating in
their miraculous exodus and the reve
lation of the Decalogue and Mosaic
law to free their minds from the slavery
