The fall thus far has been mild and balmy, but it is hardly safe to con elude that the same kind of weather is to continue very long. Very mSny of the poor of the city have about all they can do to get along now, and some of them are sorely pinched even with the mild weather we have had. When the winter comes in good earn est, as we may expect it soon, there will be suffering unless relief is promptly afforded. To postpone ar rangements until the suffering actu ally begins, is to impose a period of extreme suffering upon many, as it always takes time to get relief ar rangtmtnts in operation. Then why not bein nc v and raise a relief fund fo be used aa necessity demands. Let a met ting be cailed and steps taken V) perfect such arrangements as we all are sure will be necessary, and a committee appointed to collect such sunis as may be subscribed. Let a subscription be started at once. Send in your name for such amount as you are willing to contribute. The Visi TOR will start the list with $i. Journalism. Everything to be useful, must be done Veil. Whoever engages in any business should do his best at his call ing. He should be actuated by worthy motives, and the best motives we can have for our object, is to serve God, by serving our fellow men. To serve our fellow men, does not necessarily mean that we should pander to all their whims. The' press is the most powerful educating -factor of our times. The best journalist is the man all things else being equal, who really loves his fellow men, and labors the most earne tly for their moral and material upbuilding. It does not fol low that a secular journal should es chew all morals, and simply become a sort of mouth piece, to sound forth anything that may tickle the fancy of any sort of person, or be without deep convictions or fixed principles. Such journalism reminds one of, the school master, who on being asked by a patron, if the world was square or round, rpplied: "I can. teach it either way; just as my patrons may wish." Men who subscribe for a paper have a right to expect that it should con tain the new?, and be filled with such suggestions as may be helpful to them in many things. Honest, faithful wprk, done in the field of ne wspaper making, will be appreciated by an enlightened public; and will help greatly w ciuijuwu iuq ;uuuv ucio is cne thing the public should remem ber. It if- no easy task to make even a email daily paper both instructive and useful. The life of the journalist must of necessity be a sort of treadmill life. Each day brings very nearly the seme tasks. To feel that a certain amount of work must be done; that certain space must be filled each day, has led to the writing, and .publishing of much that would, and should have never been written or printed. There is one relief to the editor; readers in this age are fond of short paragraphs, and in his news columns fai thf ul work will enable him toVck the news, and put it pithily; and the power to do this may be acquired by any one of gifts sufficient .to succeed at all in the journalistic li' Id. Meeting of Trustees. The Board of Trustees of the Ox ford Orphan Asylum met this after noon at the Tarboro House and the following members were present. GrandMasler S. H. Smith, of Winston Hx-offlciOfC&p. A. II. A.Williams, of Oxford, Mr. J. S. Carr of Durham, Dr. C. T. Bailey and Mr. G. Rosen thall of Raleigh Rev. W. S. Black was elected Superintendent of the Oxford Orphan Asylum to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Rev. J. T. Harris. This is a most capital selection. The Horse Sale.

Just 50 Years Ago Today. Fifty years ago we had. not been thought of, and in fifty years hence we will be entirely forgotten; but we are here now and we intend to keep people thinking of us and talking about us some abusing, some prais -ing. It makes no difference which way they talk of us, but they must keep right on because we are here to hustle our business and keep things moving while we are here. While we are here we intend to keep abreast of the times, and a little ahead of them if possible. To demonstrate our as sertions we can show you bargains in clothing, shoes and dress goods that our competitors cannot touch. We did this by hustling. In one of our hustling adventures we found a lot of ladies' felt hats nice, late styles and we are selling them at 20c each. Ain't this hustling? We have also some hustlers in ladies cloaks One special bargain is some walking jack ets, all wool, plush trimmings, at $2.50 and $3.50 each; would be cheap at $6 and $8. We shall continue to hustle while we can at Swindell's. Dr. Talmage's Last Cigar. My last cigar was smoked at 3 o'clock one Sabbath morning in my western home I had smoked three or four cigars since tea. I wrote my sermons then, and thought I could gather fresh inspiration with every fresh cigar. My hand trembled as I finished my work, and when a book fell I started as if a pistol had, been fired. The creaking of my bo!s. to trrtiit was the nervous strain np i-i me an I u-nt down the stairs, made my hair stuu.l on eud. I could not hlevp that night, and resolved that I would give up smoking aid end the sin of night study. I kept my promise, and '.ln-n over board went tea nnl coffee. I'erlin.H some may be better for Kiuukimc out 1 think there vould be iu.iuv s-trk head niches less without it My first cigir made 'in' dope -mtely sicK; and after 1 smoked in.

W. H. & R. S. Tucker & Co. A Rash Investment A boy seven or eight years old, whose parents live on Third avenue, Detroit, was beating a drum iu the rilley, when a neighbor appeared and asked: -now mucu am your lather pay for that drum, sonny ?" "Two shillings, sir " "Will you take a dollar for it ?" "Yes sir, ma said she hoped I'd sell it for ten cents." The exchange was made and the drum put where it wouldn't do any more good, and the neighbor i buck led over his stratagem. However, when he got home at night here were four drums heating in froit of his house, and the drummer boy was prompt to inform him: ' "These are my co asms, und I took that dollar and b ught four new drums. Do you want to give us $4 for them ?" ? The neighbor bowed to tle uievica ble and retired. - i Hardware, &c. BEFORE Cold weather com mences coat your walls and ceilings with LABASTINE !
