When people once begin to de
viate in politics they never know
where to stop. This is the history of
those who have left the Democratic
party. Having made a false step
they have not the courage to retrace
their steps. A backslider in relig
ion is the same way.

"What the country needs is con

else seems to have confidence in me.
No, sir; give me mony every time."

Our good looking friend James
Parrott, the popular ladiesman, of
Hester's, smiled on us Saturday and
we felt at home in his presence. He
informed he was having an immense
time now fishing on dry land and thus
far had failed to get a nibble. "But
I tell you, old fellow, I have made up
my mind if such a thing is possible to
relieve some father of the care and
protection of an attractive and be
witching maiden." Oh, go away from
here and stop your foolishness, Jim

JN. C.4 FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1893,
TIMELY QUESTIONS
For Alliance Democrats to- Consider
Well.
Why is the Third party laboring
with so much zeal to build up again
the Farmers' Alliance ? Because it
is of great importance to that pre
cious political organization n order
to carry as many as possible into the
Republican party.
I It affords "Maryander" Butler,
Gideon Wilson and local incompe
tents such as Dalby and Peace a
cover for their secret work. At
present it is composed almost entire
ly of Thirdites, and they want to get
a number (not too many, however)
Democrats to come back into it so as
to escape punishment of violation of
the secret political party law of the
State.
The Public Ledger has a few
timely questions to put to the Demo
crats who still pay into the Third
party Alliance treasury.
Have'nt you noticed that all the
offices of power, prominence and
profit are given to "good and true"
Thirdites ?
Are you taken to the heart of
hearts of the Thirdite brethren, and
treated as you should be treated ?
Are they open, frank and cordial
towards you ?
Don't they hold caucuses to which
you are not admiitted, and
whisper secrets among uemselves
which they would not have you to
hear for anything in the world ?
Don't they come into the lodge
room with everything fixed; cut and
dried, and you might as well vote
into the air as far as your vote
accomplishes anything ?
Isn't your presence m the order
only tolerated, and you are made to
feel that you are a suspicious, mi
tt ustworthy character ?
Don't you know that you are not
really of them, and that you are not
really wanted, and that they are
playing you false ?
Don't be duped ! You know these
are not idle questions. There are
others along the same line ask your-
selves.
Democrats, you have no business in
a Third party organization, for that
is all the Farmers' Alliance is now.
Get out of it the quicker the better?
The use of Hall's Hair Renewer pro
motes the growth of the hair, and re
stores its natural color and beauty, frees
the scalp of dandruff, tetter, and all im
purities. A Whopper.
Well, there is no doubt about it
now, boys ! William Pleasants, of
Creedmoor, has downed everybody
we have seen or expect to see on the
largest cantaloupe. He remembered
the old man and sent us one Tuesday
by "Grandma" (W. L.) Mitchell as
long and larger around than a water
bucket. It was as nice as any we
slapped our lips on, and we tip our
old slouch hat to Mr. Pleasants with
many thanks, trusting that he may
reap a bountiful harvest this fall of
everything that he has planted.
Ont ol' the Notion.
I have concluded not to visit the
World's Fair this Summer, but will
go next. Parties having work in my
line will find me at my office ready
to work at living prices. Teeth
filled, teeth extracted without pain,
and teeth put in upon reasonable
terms. Come and see me.

THE REV. C. A. JENKENS.
He Has Keen Called as Pastor to
CJoldshoro, N. c
Among the prominent and able
ministers of the Baptist denomina
tion in North Carolina the name of
Rev. C. A. Jenkins is well and fa
vorably known.
He is a refined gentleman of much
culture, whose oratorical powers are
conceded by all who have had the
pleasure of hearing him preach. He
has been called as pastor to Golds
boro. We congratulate the Golds
bcro Baptist church on securing his
ministerial services. His churches
in this section are loth to give him
up. His departure' and that of his
family will be a great loss to this
community. His friends and ad
mirers here are legion and the re
gret is universal that he should
find it his duty to leave Oxford. We
give him our best wishes.
In regard to his resignation as
pastor of the Baptist church at
Chase City, Va., the Progress says :
"Rev. C. A. Jenkins, of Oxford,
N. C, who only recently became
pastor of the Baptist church here,
has tendered his resignation, to take
effect the second Sunday in August,
to the great sorrow of his friends
and admirers here. His reason for
doing this is because of having ac
cepted a call from Goldsboro, and
being obliged in consequence to re
move from Oxford to that town.
This is quite a blow to the church
here and we have heard regrets ex
pressed by many of all denomina
tions. We are indeed sorry that Mr.
Jenkens has seen fit to sever his
connection with the church here,
for although his pastorate was a
short one, he succeeded in winning
the love and esteem of a large num
ber of our people of all denomina
tions, who, while loth to part with
him, extend their very best wishes
for a large and prosperous work in
his new field.
