Holiday Reflections One of the popular Christmas saluta tions will of course be the mistletoe bough. A warm Christmas may not make a green graveyard, but it makes the fellow awlul bine who has overcoats to sell. Christmas, the home dav, the Christ day! May its lessons and iis blessings gladden all hearts and make a truth of the common salutation: "A Merry Christ mas be upon yoa." A Georgia poet informs us that "there is a sound of Christmas in the ir." This is a sure sign that the. tin hot-n has arrived, bat the poet doesn't spell ear right.

And stilt we huve the mistletoe. But not -the times ol long ago. It cannot be Oh, no, no, no! That maidens now deny it, Or men, rrsike the mistletoe, They like too well to try it.

Though his coat is thin and Dis hat is old, And the blustering wind blows keenly. He has beard the children telling in glee That Santa Claus would visit This night their beautiful Christmas tree; And it is not strange he should wish to see How this can liappen, now is it? He sees through the window the children bright And hears them merrily singing Round tha Christmas-tree vritn us glory ol light When out from the chimney, in bear skins white Comes good Sr. Micholas springh g! And the Snow-man laughs so hard at that. That when his laughter ceases, A pipe, a coat, and an old straw hat. Two lumpsof d al and a flannel cravat. Are all tint is lei t of the pieces! THF SOW AM.F.1,. The s'eigh bells danced that winter night; Old Brattleborough rang with glee; Tli" windows overflowed with lL'ht; Joy ruled each hea-th and Christmas tree. But to one the bells and mirth were naught His soul with deeper joy was fraught. He waited until tlie guests were gone; He waited to dream his dream alone; And night wore on. Alone he stands in the silent night; He piles the snow in the village square; With spade for chisel, a statue white From the crystal quarry rises fair. No light, save the stars, to uide his hand, But the image obeys his soul's command. Tbe sky is draped with fleecy lawn, The stars grow pale in the early dawn, But the lad toi's on. And lo! 'n the morn the people came To gaze at the wondrous vicion there; And tbey called it "The Angel," divining its name. For it came in silence and uuware. It seemed no mortal hand had wrought The uplifted face of prayeiful thouglit: But its features wasted beneath the sun; Its life went out ere the day was done, And the lad dreamed on. Anil hia dream was this: In the years to be I will carve the An'l in lasting stone; In another land beyond the sea. I. will toil in darknes;. will dream alone; While otheis sb-ep 1 will rind a way Up through the night to the linht of dy. Thete's nothing desired beneath star or sun Which patient genius has not won. And the boy toiled on. The years go by. lie has wrought with mi"hi; He has gained renown in the land of art; But the thought inspired that Christmas nibt Still kept its place in the sculptor's heai t; And the dn am of the boy, that melted away In the light of the sun that w inter day. Is emb id ed at last in enduring stone, Snow auel in marble his purpose won; And the man toils on. Wallarc Bruce. Persons who may bj undecided what to purchase for a Cot istuias present will be interested to know that a locomotive which cost $30,000 ten years ayo can be bought today for $9,000. A reduction of $21,000 is a big item to consider when selecting a Christmas pnseiit. Price What made Jenks take his wife to see that horrible prize fight? Wheaton She had finished her Christ mas shopping and everything else seemed so tame to her. . THE JOURNAL NKW lUdiNl-:. N ('. ! ISilt CITY AND V 1 N7TY. 'OTTOS SA .

He has chosen a farm near Asheville and will move to it early ntxt year. The removal of a good citizen such as he is, is a loss to C raven county but we hope to hear of his doing well in his new home as we believe he will. Mr. D. L. Taylor was in the city ad tells us of a very drawing chimney in the house ol Mr. Mitt. Thorpe at Sloeumb's creek. Tlie story is that a rooster got into the room and when he reached the centre of it the draft Irom the chimney was s-o strong that it drew him up the chimney and clear out at the top!

Chief Commissioner Coleman of this State has issued an address "To the Colored citizens of North Carolina"' in which he siys: 'Now it seems clear that a great duty is u pon us to seize this opportunity (the best that has ever been given the negro as a race in the history of the world) to show to mankind what progress we have made in the industrial pursuits ana in scientific and literary development, in agriculture, n the mechanic arts, in science, art, liter ature, and in every depattment of human progr ss already occupied by the negro. It is also an opportunity to demonstrate to mankn d what we aie in our present capabilities and what we prophesy for tlie future. "North Carolina cannot afford to De behind or wanting in this matter. "The above should make every heart thrill and cause every loyal negro to re solve to do everything in his power to make the best possible showing for his race. "And we appeal to every patriotic North Carolinian, of negro descent, to pie Ige himself to the successful carrying nu of this enterprise, aud to lollow up this pledge with unabating zeal and in dustry when the plans have been fully outlined. "Information in full and in detail will be issued from time to time." ' State papers are requested to copy the address. (OTTOJi FACTORY MACHINERY. Praetieal A4lviee by a Praetical Man as to Requisites lor Success 3fone bnt the Latest Improved Will An swer. Whatever lactones have been started in New Berne of late years have been fit ted out with the correct idea that no ma chinery is fit to be used except the latest and very best, so we have but little fear that if a cottoi factory is ever determined upon by our cittzens it will be equipped according to the sam plan. However, it is well to strengthen correct ideas.with wisdom born of experience. An effort is being made to build a cotton factory in Chattanooga and as the advice given the promoters by a correspondent of tbe Time- will apply heie as well as there, we copy it : . "The parties who have that commend able project in hand ought to proceed very carefully. If a mill is started here with anything but the latest and most improved machinery it will prove a fail ure The Ruohs factory sought some machinery sixty years behind the times, and the lailure ol that factory killed all small enterprises in Chat.anooga for ten years past. People say a factory cannot be run here, and point to this ruin, whe eas not the place but the machinery caused the failure. 'For the past eighteen months a mill ot 9,000 spindles has been offere I in Bos ton for $3 per sp ndle which cost $15 per spindle new, and yet nobody buys the mill becaus- the machinery is out of date. With the very latest and best machinery and wise and prudent management, a cot ton mill in Chattanoaga can compete with any in the country." EVAXJELKAI, AI.LIAM'E.

He was sitting in the lobby of the Metropoli tan Hotel yesterday talk ng to Mr. Pell about North Carolina politics. A Texas hayseed overheard them and interposed this remark: "I see you two are No'th Carolinians. Its a Sc.te I like, an I want to know why you let the d t fusionisls beat you soy ' Mr. Pell quietly turned and said: "Here is one of them sir.

Foolinc in the Nenate Personals Business Men to the Front. The adjournment of Congress today, December 22ud. 1894, for the Christmas holidays, gives to history the b st three we?ks record for w'Oi'K ever m ole by the House o Representatives. Sevi ral ap propriation bills have been passe i The Post-Office Appropriation bill, dialled by Hon. John S. Henderson, and carrying j?19G,000 for the fast southern mail is a master piece. The Committee on Bank ing and Currency recommended a substi tute to the Carlisle bill in which the National Bankirg system will lie con tinued. Other changes are suggested. The Senate has b a n three weeks fool ing over tne Questr n " Shall cloture reso lution be adopted oi nm." Hi I is in favor of parliamentary reiorni so am I. In this Republic, the people are sovet igns. The people do not need the protection of seventy odd Senators. They are amply able to take care ol themselves. The true situation in the Senate is outlin-d in a cartoon in the able Washington Post ot Friday morning. Two rude old idols one labelled "Senatorial Courtesy" and the other "LTnlimitcd Debate'' are sitting in ancient chairs raised on a pedesnd. Senator Hill armed with an enormous club is trying to knock these idols clown. I hope he will do it. Wednesday morning the large North Carolina delegation hea led by Senator Ransom, and compose I of Congressmen aud other honorable gentlemen called ou Secretary Gresham today, urging the ap pointment of Walter R. Henry to some good position. They Were very conrteous ly receivi d. Senator Ransom stated the. object of their call. Mr. Aycock and Mr. Puller were the other speakers. Secre tary 'diesham promised to present the tnuttci to the President. I have reason tu believe that Mr. Henry will not go abroad but will receive a $2,100 chief place here. The statues of John S aik and Daniel Webster were unveiled in Statuary Hall Wednesday. General W. P. Roberfs, Consul G'-ne d to Victoria is here on a thirty days leave. Col. A. B. Andrews, loiemost among the ablest and most useful citizens of the South has been re-elected President of the Virginia Midland. I wish he was Presi dent of the entire Southern Railroad sys tem. I contend he has dore as ranch for the material deyeloptnent of tlie section south of Mason and Dixon's Line as far as Atlanta as any man in that part of tne country. He is very modest about it, but 1 k a sensible gentlemen he makes his vvoi k pay him as he goes along. Another Tarheel of the same stripe is ex-Governor Thomas W. Holt, who with every one of his progressive brothers are men, of a calibre the entire South ought to be proud to honor. When such men are put to the front, the whistle of locomo tives, the whirl of machinery, the influx of money, the noon-tide ot a pennanent prosperity, will take tne place of cross road politic-, five cent cotton, and blatant paid campaign orators who have no prac tice to keep them at home and who ride on free passis over the country or on tickets bought with ''campaign money'' got from contributions of hard-working, honest Democrats, Tammany or Sugar Trusts. In the future I hopa there will be more men like Tom Holt, Alex. An drews, Jule Carr, the Frieses cf Salem, the Haines of Winston, the George Allen's of New Berne, men like D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte and a hundred others I might mention somewhere on deck when the Democratic Ship of State sails triumphant between the dangerous Scylla of Radicalism and the yawning monster of Popocracy into an open sea of Victory. HAPPES IJfGS OF THE DAT. After all ex-President Harris in may conclude that beiu Secretary of State is more to his taste. If men didn't get sick and tired of boarding-houses t here would be very few marriages. Stewed prunes drive lots ol victims to matrimony, insists the Atchison Globe- Rockingham farmers are planting ? gr at deal more grain this year than in previous years. Some few speak of fishing next year in preference to raising 5-cent cotton. Rudyarel Kipling, after sending his first two or three stories to nearly every pub lisher in England, finally sold them for $15. His last story brought him $1,000 for the English rights abme. Robert J. Aldrich was found dead on a .ail: pad track near St. Augustine, Flo. It is supposed he was killed iy a passim; train while drunk and as'.eep. His mother lives at Barnell, S. C. The Montgomeiy (Ala.) Cotton Mill is putting uew machinery in its plant which w ill about double its present cip acity. It Is also preparing to run night and day to keep up with orders. People in the drought stricken distri- t of Nebraska are starving to death and almost destitute ol clothing. Wnat a contrast to the abune'ence South, even if prices are low a d money searee.

It is learne I that there will be no fewer than fourteen contests far seats in the Leg islature, and i hat only three ot these are by Populists, the remainder being by Republicans. This is one of the reasons upou which the Republicans base their claim that they wid have more members than the Populists. While children at Elberton, Ga., who had witnessed uti xecntion were playing at hanging Saturday, one, a twelve yt-ar old boy, hung himself in reality. He tied one end of the uope around his neck, the other end to the limb ot a live and then jump ed bom the limb thinking he would reach tlie grou id but the rope was too short and died of strangulation, before he c uld be reached. Four thousan I people attended the. exe cution of two mur..erers at Maynardsville Tenn., Satuiday. A stockade had bten erected with the intention of having it private but the crowd ran over the guard of fif:y men and tore it down. Their crime was the dastardly murder of an old man, aged 91, and his wife aged 76 for purposes of robbery. The fither of one of the men surrendered them to secure the $400 reward. ft ?hri?.n)as oi).
