CHRISTMAS.
Before another issue of the Re-
appears this joyous
will have been realized by
our subscribers and patrons.
About years ago tho world
was gladdened by tho coming of a
Savior. It is well that the
of this happy event is so
wide spread and so
enjoyed. It is that many
customs have crept into its ob-
that rob it of much of its
religious significance, yet there
are still many things that remind
forcibly the thoughtful of the hap-
is designed to celebrate-
Many of its customs should never
grow old because they largely
augment the happiness of the
most innocent of this world. That
custom which deserves to live
longest we believe is the visit of
Santa Claus to that interest-
part of the human
dear little children. No one can
fail to be made happier and better
as he sees the joyous little
as they beam forth with
unalloyed happiness at the
of the little gifts of their ideal
of givers.
No one. either, should ever dis-
courage the custom of friend
presents. All are made
better thereby. All are happier.
Remembering the poor, too, is one
of the most Christ-like customs
that still cling to the observance
of the day. This is too little
by us all.
The happy reunion of families
and friends long separated by
time and space cannot fail to
point to the grand reunion which
is to as the great final result
of the advent of Him whose natal
day the occasion celebrates.
These and other similar customs
deserve to live as long as time
shall exist and ought to be
by all of us.
On the other hand those things
which are wicked and tend to de-
the hallowed influences and
tender associations of the day
ought to be discouraged and con-
until they shall cease to
form so largo a part of its
by many.
Tho now bespeaks
for all of its many readers and
patrons a joyous one
unmarred by sin and debauchery
but one in keeping with the in-
finite happiness it was designed
to commemorate. To one to
all we say, merry, merry
it appears that Cleveland re-
four thousand more votes
in North Carolina than Governor-
elect Carr did. This does not
tally with predictions made by
many that Hip farmers would not
vote for Cleveland. Every
that is made shows that he was the
strongest man that could have
been nominated at Chicago.
AN APPRECIATED LETTER.
Several days ago the editor of
the received a letter
from ODe of the foremost men of
North Carolina which he intended
to publish sooner, but only until
now had opportunity. We
more than can be expressed
here that part which refers to us
individually, and sure that the
other members of the State press
will appreciate what is said of
them collectively. No man is
more interested in the welfare of
North Carolina than is Col. Btu-
and no man is more ready
than he to praise to those
who labor in behalf of the State-
The letter
N. C, Nov.
D- J. Esq.,
Greenville, N. C
have intended for
time to write you and con-
you on your enterprise
in having on your Wednesday's
issue of the 9th inst., such a com-
account of the election. It
was a surprise to me to be able to
obtain from your Wednesday's
paper about as much information
on the subject as I could get from
any paper that I received that day-
This was certainly quite a feat
of journalism, and you should be
congratulated. It seems to me
when we ascribing to certain
parties the credit for our recent
success, we ought not to forget
that to the Democratic press of the
State as much credit is due as to
any one source. At a time when
few were raising their voices in
behalf of the Democratic party,
the Democratic press came out in
no uncertain sound and rallied the
hesitating Democracy around the
banner of tho pure faith, and I
hope in the distribution of the re-
of the victory they will come
in for their share of the reward.
Yours very truly.
Wk- H. S-
The Press of the South are pretty
unanimous in favoring the extra
session of Congress and is
much feeling in favor of it at Wash-
and in the North and West
The people have asked the Demo-
party to take control of the
legislation and change the policy
of this government and it seems
reasonable that they should ex-
that this be done as early as
possible.
Senators Gorman and
Brine were appointed on the com-
to advise with the Demo-
in Wyoming, Kansas, Ac,
where the Republicans are
to steal the Legislature, so th.-t
they can elect Senators and if
keep the United States Sen-
ate- The Democrats may expect
good work from any committee
composed of these three men-
A bill has been introduced in
Congress to the time of
the meeting of Congress from De-
to March. If this should
pass as it ought there will be no
necessity for an extra session to
be called after Mr.
oration. There
is no sense in requiring that more
than a year should elapse after an
election before the men who are
elected shall begin to serve their
constituents.
A few suggestions to all may not
out of place just now on the eve
of the joyous holidays that now
almost upon us.
First, be careful what you think
thoughts may lead to deeds.
Second, be careful what you say
you may regret too late.
Third, be careful what you do
one act may mar many days of
after life-
Fourth, be careful what you see
Vice b a monster of SO frightful mien,
That to be hated needs but to be seen ;
But seen to oft, familiar its face.
We first endure, then pity, then
Fifth, be careful what you hear
hearing of may lead you to
evil; it may direct you-
Sixth, be careful how you think,
speak, do, see and hear, and life
will not be filled with regrets.
It is so late now that we do not
print our full report of the sixty-
second annual meeting of the
State Convention held in
to 12th From the
of interest and attendance it was
the most successful meeting in the
history of tho convention.
In every department of work the
reports showed had been
large increases during the year,
and the amounts expended footed
up A large gain in
membership was also reported.
Subscriptions were taken to help
various objects during the coming
year and large amounts raised in
cash and pledges. The discus-
on different topics, as well as
the sermons delivered, were excel-
lent and much enjoyed by the
large congregations. Raleigh has
heard no better preaching.
Raleigh entertained the Con-
handsomely and with
characteristic North Carolina hos-
Tho home of the writer
while there was with the excellent

the advertisement to get a

considered the ad worth
less or that a year's subscription
to his paper is of no value. It is
just this kind of shoddy Cheap

bring North Carolina journalism in
more or less disrepute, and prevent
it reaching the high standard it
should maintain. The

thing else than politics, if you will
allow me a little space in your

pie of Pitt county something
about what we are doing here.
Three years ago when entered
college there were less than two
hundred students on the roll, since
that time our number has been
steadily increasing and at the be-
ginning of this year we opened
with a Freshman class of over one
hundred and we have now on our
roll three hundred students. Now
this means two things That we
are doing better work as an
and that the people of North
Carolina finding it out and are
seizing the opportunity to educate
their sons for the great life work
that lies before them- Not only
are the people of North Carolina
awakening to the advantages
offered by the University, but
those of other States as well and
we have representatives here from
Pennsylvania, Virginia,

our president says that this
scholastic year shall close the

flowers greet and charm the eye

the temperature rises to degrees,

balmy breezes with dew, and OW
flower gardens show a flora that
would indeed surprise visitors

Dwelling Mysteriously Burned.
Mr. L. Whichard, who lives about
miles from Greenville in the

and contents by lire on Tuesday night of
last week. The circumstances
the burning are very mysterious.
Monday night an hailed at
the home of Mr. Whichard, when the
latter went out told him that his wife's
sister, who lived over in Ma tin county,
was very sick, and if they wanted to see
her alive they had better go there. The
stranger also said that as he was
from Martin over this way he passed the
house and the family asked him to stop
and deliver this message at Mr. Which-
Mrs. Whichard was attracted by
the conversation between her husband
and the stranger and out to
they were talking. As she drew near
them the stranger retreated and she did
not recognize him. Next day Mr. Which-
ard took his wife to the home of her sis-
and found the latter in perfect health,
and that no message had been sent as
told by the stranger. This led Mr.
to believe that something was
wrong and he turned to go back borne at
once. He stopped at bis father's just
night, left his wife there, borrowed
a gun and accompanied by one of his
brothers went on to his home. When he
came in sight of his house about
o'clock It was on Are. As he drew nearer
he thought he saw a man with a torch
