A True Bill.
The Wilmington Messenger says:
The most absurd thing an editor
can attempt is to try to please every
body. Everybody thinks himself
fully equipped for journalism, and
hence the frequent and lamentable
failures of everybody. There are
some people who cannot write En
glish who would not hesitate to take
charge of the London Times, as there
!.. re some scribblers of verse, who do
not know a rule in prosody who
would be glad to succeed Tennyson
as poet laureate Let an editor be
loyal to God and his own enlightened
conscience and do the best he can
each day. Tha grumblers can keep
on grumbling.
A Fine Exhibition.
"Ben Hur" is a most remarkable
book. It is so, in more ways than
one, because it is of pecular interest
in establishing the truths of Holy
Writ if, indeed, such proofs were
needed. It has probably had as ex
tended a circulation as any book ex
tant, having been published in aU
most every known modern language.
A representation of its characters
will, 'therefore, be of great interest
and the presentation of them at Met
ropolitan Hall, next Monday eveuin ,
will doubtless attract a large audi-
ence Wherever this presentation
has been made the public have been
delighted. Beats are now on sale at
the book store of Messrs Alfred Wil
liams & Co. Reserved seats 75 cents;
general admission 50 cents; gallery 35
cents..

A Merited compliment.
Last night a most pleasant occur,
rence took place at the First Presby

large congregation. After the close
of the services Mr W. 8. Primrose, on
behalf of the ladies of the church,
presented to Pev. Dr. John S. Wat

rosewood case with one dozen silver
tea and table spoons, forks, &c. The

Fop the Love of the Almighty
Hollar, Why Don't You Get a
Move on You.
Don't you know, or can't you swal
low and digest the fact that time is
flying; that in a short time Swindell's
closing out sale will be a thing of the
past. Now you can buy any kind of
dress goods at cost, and inside of thir
ty days you must pay the full price
for the same goods While thirty
days is the time set for Swindell's
move, yet the thing is liable to come
to a sudden close at any time. Then
you will likely say, "I wish I had act
ed wisely and bought when the goods
were cheap." Swindell has a big
stock of dress goods, and clothing,
and carpets, and hats, and Bhoes and
you are charged no profit on the
goods. Is it wisdom to buy now or is
it wisdom to wait. This writer had a
little experience in the folly of pro
crastiuation yesterday. While ad
miring a big wild turkey at Eber
hardt & Pescud's and gloating over
the big dinner I should have of the'
turkey, a gentleman came up and
said, "Pescud, what's the turkey
worth?'' "$2.50," said Pescud "I'll
take biua," sa'd he. You ask how I
felt? I felt turkeyless left.
