We noticed several cases of fast
driving on the outskirts of the city,
yesterday. In one case the poor ani
uial seemed almost ready to drop

verely dealt with. .

There are other citizens who express
the same opinion.
Coutracts as a rule should be held
inviolate. We do not advocate, of
course, their wanton verinrow, un
less it can be clearly shown that un
due steps had been taken to procure
them. We, how ver, do insist and
shall continue to do so, that when
our people are put to the most serious
inconvenience from a bad arrange
tne'nt entered into by their agents
that if there is a remedy it should be
applied at the earliest moment. In
the case of the lighting of the city
there is a proper step to pursue. It is
for the "Board of Aldermen to con
tr?ct for additional electric lights to
take the place of those removed Ua
til this Is done, the indiguation of the
people will not subside Our Alder
men may rest assured of this.

A Curiosity.
We saw on the premises of Mr. T.

Van Lindley, of Guilford for a year.
Last year It was brought here and
set out. In the winter, it is kept at
the store of Mr. Briggs in a box, and
removed to his premises on Edenton

seeing "by all lovers of the rare and

How Happy ti e Little Busy Bee
In the words of Socrates, "why is
he happy .i' In the words of D. T,
Swindell, "because he has something
to do." Hence it is. we are deter
mined to keep doing a good big rush
lag business all the time as it is hap
piness we are looking for and not
money. Hence, in dull seasons we
think it pays us to sell out all goods
in our store at exactly what the goods
costs us rather than carry any of
them over. We must do a big busi
ness if it is a losing business. Can
not and will not be idle. Hence it is we
are selling envelopes at one cent a
pack and six papers of , pins for five
cents, and ladies' Oxford tie shoes for
fifty cents a pair, and men's coats and
vests for fifty cents, and nice lawns
dress goods at three cents a yard, and
nice quality dress calico at four cents
a yard, and organdses at six cents,
and Parisian mull at six cen's, and
ink two : cents a bottle, and novels
five cents. Thus it is we walk rough
shod over the ene-ny. .Thus it is we
will keep up this march of. victory
and triumph until we restfSeneath
the beautiful shades in the silent
city of Oakwood.
Yours truly, i
