WORDS OF WISDOM. ;
l-if'M""-''
The following is taken from the
.JBtblical Recorder and as it contains
xome good advice we, print itfor the
: -benefit of oorfarmer friend :
1 " Ihe best business for our yonng
men to enter," said a thrifty looking
; o rummer. "What is that asked au-
- other, who had been m.the business
. longer than the first speaker. "Drum-
t ming,M was the reply. "Not if they
wish to make any money. There is a
; jgreatrial of worry, loss of sleep,
- V; . N much incouvenience and the like, but
- :no man can save any money drnm-
iSift.mio?'' because there is no money in
" Jf' A nave 8Pent fifteen years at it,
i V . I I drink no liquor and have not ex
peuded my money foolishly. I have
. not made any money, beeanse ..there
- w no money m the businesswhat is
f thought to be a good salary is con
turned in traveling expenses." When
- - he had finished speaking another
took up the thread and said:
ma tanker; but I nsed to follow
;";.r.tbe plough handle?, and can say with
.all my heart those were my happiest
dayg. ; The farrnofferatbe test op-
J:r -t portnnity to our young men." He
v'' : then went at length into some facts
pjt'jarejawiio not encourage your gons
'to leitethe farm. --'a ,t .
of the G-neral Assembly of tha in
formation collected by him' and con
taining such recommendations Es he
may deem calculated to promote the
efficiency of the bureau. The Com
missioner ia hereby directed to en
deavor to publish an acurate list of
all the newspapers in the State, and
whether the same is published daily
or weekly, and to forward to each and
all a copy of his report promptly upon
ita being published; he is also direct
ed to diligently inquire after tho labor
organizations of the State and to see
that none aro omitted in the disiriba-
of the reporis; he is further directed
to confine his labors to this State.'
From tho foregoing it will be seen
that the purpose of the Legislature
in establishing the bureau was to
place before the people of our State
as far as the same can be done, the
moral, educational and financial con
dition of the working ieopln of Nort
Carolina. To do this a great amoun
or information must be gathered
from many sources. A large part o
this information, must be collected
by correspondence. Following the
plan adopted by other State bureaus
blanks have been prepared with ques-
xhibiting epecitrenp, with etatemet
of yield, at our next Fair, to be held
October 23th, 26:h and 27th.
