NEWCUL DVVIGHT HILL'S f Pfymoott Ctiurelt, Braafclyn 111,11 ..-III I ; i . - i NOW FOR IMPROVEMENTS. For several months the people of TKinston have been considering the isubject of a bond issue for1 the purpose of making improvements that are so rfeadly needed in our city. It baa all along been admitted by practically everybody that our munici pality needs every dollar of the 1150, (000 to be expended on city improve ments that would not only enhance Hier'prosperity and development, but tthat are essential to the maintenance mt her present position in Eastern , Carolina. The only notable objection to the Saaxte of these bonds has been based tvpoo fear by quite a number of our citizens that the town might not secure borough business men for officials for tfche next two years, resulting in an un wine or, possibly unintelligent, Use of ta large sum to be raised; and upon Bb further fear that property would , aot be so assessed that each property Sbolder would bear his just part of the Rrarden of taxation.. There should be no holding back now ' eon either account. After a wide-awake earnest campaign, the people of Kins tSon have selected officers to whom "will be intrusted the. management of affairs during a very important period caow dawning upon us. The gentlemen tto whom this task baa been entrusted sure worthy representatives of the peo ple, men, of much business ability. (eminently successful in their respective tsmdertaklnga, and possessing wiitd'tn rand farsightedness enough to make tthera fitting men to be entrusted with t direction of the large expenditures Tfnat we bop soon to make. la addition, to this we may rest as stared that property will be so assessed 5a Klnston that the laborer, the poor ansa, will not be compelled to pay a disproportionate share of the taxes to Ike raised. We do not doubt but that ttbe board of assessors will do their Untt duty under the instructions of the .representative of the tax commission soon to visit us.' Ia common fairness and justice so much must be presumed So far as the above considered Treasons are concerned there Is no basis tor a refusal to vote bonds. ; N ESTIMABLE YOUNG MAN THE OTHER DAY ASSERTED TO ME THAT THERE IB NOT ONE MAN IN A' HUN DRED THIRTY YEARS OP AGE THT NAB; NOf KNOWN VICE. I HAVE BEEN ' TOLD THAT; THER2 IS SCARCELY A MAN TWENTY-ONE YEARS OLD THAT HAS NOT FALLEN. I do not care to believe those assertions. I hope they are not true, because THE MAN THAT SAYS EVtKY MAN MUST FALL IS WRONG. WHEN I WAS A YOUTH, I KNEW NOT VICE. I never had temptation presented to me. I entered the ministry without knowing vice, without having been tempted. I thank God for those who shielded me in purity. n ? t SOME TIME, YOUNG MEN, THERE VILL COME A DAY' WHEN YOU WILL WALK DOWN A CHURCH AISLE WITH A PURE, SWEET MAID AT YOUR 8IDE. THEN YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR BEST ARM CUT OFF TO UNDO YOUR EVIL8 OF PREVIOUS YEARS. I sometimes think the Son of God came into this world to furnish us a standard of manhood. We have had great men, but these are as candlelights to the star that rose in Bethlehem. If I have read history aright, if I have correctly interpreted the great teachers, there is one little pathway that leads to peace? and prosperity. That is the pathway in which the feet of Jesii SIMEON FO-RD'S WIT.
