A CARD OF THANKS.
Below is a card of thanks written
by a convict in the railway cars
used as prisions in which the con
victs that are working the railroad
through here, are kept. In his ar
ticle he very plainly shows the
goodness and generosity of the
people of our town. The statement
is the expression of the convicts
for the services rendered to them
;Sunday evening at the Methodist
church. We know not who the
author of the piece may be and
take this method in telling them
we herein publish same with pleas
ure and should you wish to fur
ther talk to the people through the
press, our columns are free to yon
and yours.
THE CARD.
Were it possible for mere words
to express the limits of apprecia
tion, then it might be possible foi
the good, and generous people of
McCrory to fully realize just
what their kindness means to us
men in bondage. But words arc
quite inadequate to express tbe
deep and sincere regard they have
planted in each convict’s hearl
last Sunday, and it’s attendant
services marked a new departure
in the life aud interests of each
man. Where formerly he was
skeptical and suspici-ms, there is
now practically implanted the con
viction that there are people un
selfish and generous enough tc
take him by the hand and kindlj
show him the right way. Many a
time calloused heart softened foi
the first time in years; the dull
apathetic eye brightened as the
“parson” told the Story of the
Cross. For the time being, we
men forgot where and what we
were. A vision of mother’s ten
der hands were administering tc
our wants; we heard again he;
soft lullaby, and we were madi
better, cleaner men and our con
trite hearts went out to the nobli
impulse and we thank you witl
cheerful and appreciative hearts

But few of our readers, we im
agine, ever give a thought to the
value of this paper to the com
munity. The home paper has an
influence for good that is hard to
overestimate. It moulds public
opinion: it does well its part in
protecting and preserving the gov
ernment. It takls the place of a
standing army in guarding the
liberties of the people ; it teaches
your children morality, truth and
power: it brings many rich bless
ings to the homes it visits with
but little financial reward for its
labors, and in too many instances
not any. The home paper is a
mirror iu which those at a distance
see us. It is the plain duty of all
who are interested iu our town to
take personal interest in the town’s
paper and assist in every way pos-'
sible in making it a true repre
sentative of our intelligent and
hospitable people as well as our en
| terprising and rapidly developing
little city. Send the paper to
! your friends, bring us the news
and do your duty by your home
j paper and it will meet you more
than half way. When you help
I your home paper you help your
town and indirectly help your
self, for we are all equally inter
ested in our town and community.
There is no reasonable excuse
for any man to live, in our town if
he does’t like it. If you have no
word of commendation to say for

You won’t stop the clock by going
away. The church bells will have
the same musical ring, the little
dogs will play just as well and the

you can ; if you cannot, don’t ever

At this time of the year people
are naturally discussing in their
minds the question, where shall
we buy our goods? As our ans

refer them to the advertising col

all the principal business houses

in the town. Never trade with a
man who does not advertise, if
you want nice, fresh, clean goods
at. reasonable prices. Find a man
who does not advertise, and you
will find a man who is as rusty
and oldfashioued as the goods
which he is trying to sell.
Printers’ ink marks the path to
fame and riches. Try it.
The advertising merchant is the
one who does the business in these
days of push and enterprise.

find it, looks up the wide-a-wake
merchant who asked him to come
aud see him. Success in these
days of sharp competition calls for
eternal vigilance. You can’t keep
a hustler down.
No one is so independent as the
farmer ; he doesn’t have to truckle;
if he is insulted he can resent the
insult without fear of losing trade,
and there is no earthly reason,
with the improved farm machin
ery he now has in use why he
should hot have an eight-hour day
aud such leisure for reading and
study as would soon make him
one of the best informed men in
any calling. Why shouldn’t the
farmer be all this and more? Sure
ly he has the possibilities.

The other day we were asked if
we ever saw a baldheaded woman.
We answered, “No,” we never
did, nor did we ever see a woman
waltzing around town in her shirt
sleeves with a cigar in her teeth,
and running into every saloon she
saw. We have never seen a wo
man go fishing with a bottle in
her pocket, sit on the damp
ground all day and come home
druuk at night. Nor have we ever
seen a woman yank off her coat
and say she could lick any man in
town. God bless her, she’s not
built that way. ’ ’
Work is a great blessing. You
can not see now, but some day
you will say that you were fortu
nate in your boyhood days be
cause you were compelled to work.
Because you cannot get power to
do things save by doing them.
Look over the successful men you
know. Get their history. Nearly
everyone was compelled to work
in boyhood. They toughened
their muscles by hard work and
sharpened their brains by looking
out for themselves.
Men have various ways of car
rying money. Grocers, butchers
and millers carry it in a wad.
Bankers in clean bills, laid full
length in a pocket-book. Brokers
only fold the bill once, doubling
the money as it were. The young
business man carries it in his vest
pocket. Farmers and drovers in
their inside pockets, whether it $50
or 15 cents, Printers usually car
ry their money in other people’s
pockets.
Superstition and distrust, with
which all societies known as se
cret orders were at one time view
ed by a large number of people,
was, happily long ago dispelled,
and today the lodge stands as one
of the champions of the home and
family. Wherever society has
reached a high state of develope
ment, secret and fraternal orders
have their greatest stronghold.
The best way to guard against
schemes of grafters and keep up
to-date in general is to be a regu
lar reader of this paper. It is al
ways the one who does not read
his home paper who gets caught
by the grafters and fakirs.

Our town lias never enjoyed
such a trade as it lias during the
past tew weeks, and every day it
is increasing. The fact of the
matter is our business men have
got right down to business and
are selling goods cheaper than j
they can be bought in any town of I
this size in the state, and the peo
ple are fast finding it out and are I
coming here from adjoining towns
to do their heavy trading.
The man who went out to milk
and sat down on a boulder in the
middle of the pasture and waited
for the cow to back up, was a
brother to the man who kept a
store and wouldn’t advertise be
cause he reasoned that the pur
chasing public would back up to
his place of business, when it
wanted something.
The fellow who stops his paper
because he becomes offended at
some item that does not suit his
fancy, always imagines he is get
ting even with the publisher, but
he is never missed. This only
happens occasionally, for there
are only a few people in any com
munity who imagine a paper
should contain nothing but what
they approve "of.
Building material is still going
up, but in these unparalleled pros
perous times the high prices do
uot check buildings from going
un also.

From the large lumber mjilg
come the reports that lumber has
not been so scarce an article in
years as it is now, and the indi
cations are that the demand for all
grades of first-class lumber will be
stronger during most of the
months this year than it has been
for a long time. There is in fact
an abnormal demand for it.
Why is it that a careless seven
year old kid can drop a half burn
ed match in an alley and burn up
all the barns in a block, while an
able bodied man has to use up a
whole box of matches to get a
wood fire started in a heater that
has draft enough to draw all the
furniture up the stove pipe?
