It may be a long way to go back for a quotation, to the Talmud, but can not the people of Eastern Carolina make a local application in the few words from that ancient work "Do not confine your children to your own learning. They were born in another time." Let the parents make personal appli cation of these few words, anl the value will be as the application is ex tended. Can any one be satisfied with the present educational advantages that are offered in Eastern Carolina to the youth? It is not that educational progress is not being made, but yet ( tween these two parties. Such a law is known as "Matilda Joyner," her adop more and greater efforts and endeav- nothing less than a declaration which ted name- on aeount of her superior ora are demanded. is that the State shall establish a State Normal, fashioned along educational lines that make the institution develop ed and built up by the late Charles D. Mclver at Greensboro, a great force for educational advancement. The peo pie of this section are justly entitled to consideration in this matter, and it is to be hoped that a suitable bill may be introduced in the State Assembly which convenes in a few days, looking to an " appropriation for the establishment of such an institutien. There has been some agitation in this section on this matter, but it calls for a unanimous appeal, a going up all to gether of the people, in person and by , petition, to the legislature, and a clear presentation of the subject, with the certain showing that the people want it and that there is an educational de mand for a State Normal College in Eastern Carolina. The educational advantages of yes terday were good enough, perhaps, for that period, but let every citizen be alive, and taking up the Talmud, re member that the youth of today and tomorrow need educational advantages to meet the world's conditions of today and tomorrow, and so let the people of Eastern Carolina seek without faltering or thought of failure, to secure the means for the establishment of a State, Normal College, that shall prove an institution of learning to meet every educational want of today, and be kept up to meet the educational require ments of the youth of tomorrow. THE DREAD OF PLENTY. With the tremendous prosperity now so prevalent in this country, the very greatness of the prosperity causes many to apprehend dire consequences in tne near future. Prominent among those with their warnings, are John D. Rockefeller, and Stuyvesant Fish, late president of the Illinois CentraFrailroad company. The past few yean have been poor ones for the business or financial pessi mist. Prices have gone up, and trade has grown into immense proportions on every side. The hesitating person has seen the wave of prosperity sweep great fortunes into the possession of the man who dared risk a little, while the millionaire class has become of large size, and the millionaire has ceased to cause any sensation as something un usuaL In all this prosperity, the laborer has been a great gainer. But is the laborer taking full advantage In this tide of high wages, That is, with ahvage twice that of a fw years ago, can there be saved a fair amount to be put away for inve8tmentr for a rainy day?

C. Holland. Although her life was strewn within its pathway with the sweetest flowers, and seemed as a bright spring morning to her, in all of its loveliness, yet she was a model of a Chrirtian, and bit few have ever pos sessed the noble traits of character she was endowed with. Shn was married at the sacred altar just one year ago, and her white silk robe with fleecy lace that adorned her at the altar, was her burial robe. She was a fair bud on earth to bloom in Heaven, but God in his omnipotent wisdom took her to add one moro bright jewel to His Kingdom. She had been a consistent member of the Missionary Baptist church for 3 years, and from her earliest childhood she always led a sweet Christian life, she cared not for her own pleasure, but was always seeking to make others happy. She has left a fond brother and two sisters that have all the grief they can bear, and a broken hearted mother and father and a tiny babe of three weeks. . Good bye darling Bessie, it is hard to give you up, but God loves you. "Dearest Bessie, thou hast left us, And thy loss we deeply feel, It is God who has bereft us, He will all our sorrows heal."

We are pleased to call attention to Hack burn's ad featuring the Chase & Sanborn coffee. , The merit of this ar tide is shown in the. letter which the firm write to Mr. Hackburn noting the increased sale nf their goods. - If the coffee was not all that is claimed for it in purity and strength neither Mr. Hack- burn nor an) one elsejcould boast of such business as is here indicated. These sales have been made without any special note in the advertisements beyond the mere fact that Chase & Sanborn's coffee was sold at his store.
