See the annual statement of the Wil mington Mutual Insurance Company. Evergreen Council, No. 32, South Car olina, has been re-organized, and brother W. E. Taylor appointed Local Vice Presi dent. That Regalia hangs iu doubt between tw'o or three Lodges. The longest pole takes the persimmon, and the most subscribe! will take the Regalia. Remember that ! Brother D. McNeill, District Deputy, is keeping uji the light like a gallant soldier. He is worth more to the cause than a score of those deputies who carry their commis sions in their pockets and stay at home. He reports two new Lodges. Well done good and faithful servant! The Deaf, Dumb an?, tion- The Daily Visiior of this city has lived through its first year, celebrated its first birth day and steps bouyantly forward on its second year’s existence. Success to it — especially to its editor, who for nearly twelve years, so faithfully discharged his nties as foreman of this office. A Terrible Accident- In Wednesday night oi last week, while -^^fadisou Square Garden, New York city, 4^was full of people attending a Fair given for the benefit of some benevolent institu. ^ tion, and while the crowd were variously engaged in eating, driuking, talking and dancing, the roof of the building fell iu and killed three persons outright and fa tally wounded a fourth, besides quite a large number who it is thought may re cover. How to Prosper. If you’d have the cause of temperance prosper attend your Councils and Lodges, pay your dues and make it a rule to carry iu a new member, if possible, every meet ing. If you would have your paper prosper, subscribe for it, pay for it, read it, and make it a rule to send at least one new sub scriber to the editor each month in the year. By observing the above simple rules our catise may be strengthened a huudred fold in a very short time. District Councils- The District Cotiucil, F. of T., for the 11th district will meet atL.aGrange, Lenoir county, on the 7th of May. All the Coun cils iu that district are expected to be rep resented. Goldsboro Council is also re quested to send delegates. The District Council, F. of T., for the 39th district will meet with King’s Moun- tan Council on the third Saturday, it being the 15th day of the mouth. Kings’s Moun tain Council extends a cordial invitation to all who may go.

Mr. Julias A.

Eljiihgton, Ya., Apr. 17, 1880. Dear Bro. Whitaker:—On tie 5fch inst. we started on onr 4:h regular tour of eight days, among the mountains; on the 8bH we organ ized a new council at Jonesboro with 17 charter members, the most intelligent and refined ladies and gentlemen in the community. They have entered upon the work with bright prospects of accomplishing much good. On the 11th we lect ured at Adiol and bad several iid- ditions; there we have a flourishing council with live members purring Uj! tao .Wo Orr' ■''.1- new council at Union Chapel, with forward on liia face. His fath-' 21 charter members, as good mate- An Iowa exchange says: “We have heard of some Indians who captured a lol of kerosene in a whisky-barrel, and drank some, tbirrking it was liquor, and when they discovered their mis'ake and sat do/vn to smoke and think tbe matter over, the results were fright ful.” ' The Now Orleans Democrat is gloriful over the jn'ospecis of the early completion of the Texas Pa cific Railroad, it is said that Jay Gould and Thomas A. Scott, the big railroad magnates have signed a contract by which the railroad is to be built by the Ist of January, 1882. This road will be a big thing for New Orleans.

Without a gasp, a groan or strug gle, he passed away, unconscious of of his extinction. The b ly’s head was broken, his body much burnO and his clothes nearly torn off him. Tiie Way te Protest. I believe tbe liquor traffic to be the great national sin. I oppose it as being itself opposed to tbe very principles of Americanism. I ab hor it as the natural foe of morali ty, tbe organized enemy of religion, tbe common source of crime, the universal check upon prosperity. I shall combat it as long as I revere truth, love my fellow-men, respect myself and honor God. Believing it a merciless publican, exacting tribute that is ruinous to industry, and burdening our land with debt, I must advocate its total abolition, and can do no less than witness against it at the polls. R^^coguiz- iug it as a powerful political agen cy, employed by both tbe great parties of the State to Sicure vic tory, my ciiizansbip must protest against it in the only effective way that protest can be made—with the ballot, and in a party pledged to Prohibition principles.—A. A. Ilophins. “Is It possible that Mr. Godfrey is up and at work, and cured by so simple a remedy?” “ I assure you it is true that he is entirely cured, and with nothing but Hop Bitters; and only ten days ago his doctors gave him up and said he must die!” “ Well-a-dfty! That is remarka ble! I will go this day and get some for my poor George—I know hops are good.” rial as wo have in the State. We have now eight councils in Nelson county, under full headway —several more nearly ready for or ganization. We will start again in a few days. W^e love the Friend and Templar—we will do all we can for it. Yours iu F., T. & G. Jos. A. Crowder. NORTH CAROLINA. For tbe Friend and Templar. Marlboro, N. C. Apr. 20,1880, Mr. Editor:—The cause of tem perance iu this district, from all indications, has revived somewhat of late, though this immediate com munity, which once boasted of the banner council of the State, is not • quite as forward iu the good work as I would like; nevertheless, the purifying moral influence of tem perance pripciples exerted by Hope, and Marlboro Councils—upon our' people have not yet died out, nor indeed can they, while this genera tion lasts. Tbe membership of Marlboro Council increases slowly, though .‘iurely, for our members are all workers, and determined to car ry tbe banner of temperance un falteringly against man’s greatest enemy, until victory shall have crowned our labors. The next regular meeting for the- Districi Council in this, the elev-*- enth District is called to meet witti •>- LaGrange Council^ in Lenoir coun ty, on Friday, the Tth of May, where much' work will be found to do; and it is earnestly Jioped that a full attendance will be had. Id is thereifore important that kll the councils attend to the appointing of delegates iu time. Yours in F., T.,&C. . l' ' ’ ' .T'EANCIS JOTNKE, .PrCS.
