Mr. .Editor.’
It is a matter of satisfaction to every
one has any employment that the
election and the session of our Superioil
court is past and gone, especially is it a
source of gratification to all who have
business that must needs have attention
now, or their interests suffer from neg
lect. Those who I?Kve nothing to do for
themseHes can find employment in no
ting tlimhrift and enterprise of their
less indolent neighbors. Cotton is com
ing in rapidly, usually fifty bales are re
ceived at the warehouse of W. I). Willis
on Saturday—all the warehc%3emen re
port good receipts. Asa natural conse
quence trade is brisk, collections very
good, the spirits of our tradesmen are
bouyant and throughout the day their
faces are lit up with smiles, they wear a
look of confidence and all their move
ments on the street, throughout the va
rious transactions of the day from early
morn till twilight indicate anew life
an era of substantial prosperity, the ba
sis of wliic#vvas very briefly and ap
propriately refered to in the closing sen
tence of a two column editorial in the
Pike C’Qjyity News entitled “The Re
sult” appearing in its last issue, which
by the way wtft said by Capt. E. F. Mar
tin to be one of “the most thorough
pointed and logical discussions of Inde
pendentism during the recent legisla
tive campaign.” Said lie “it is uncom
moil to see an editorial M so much force,
study and labor in one of our county pa
pers.” On the same line of thought
Capt. R. 11. Allen delivered himself as
follows: “It was the best blow made
for democracy and against inde
pendentism as far as I have seen, it sur
passed everything and just suited me,
the subject was handled in a manly,
courageous and matter-of-fact-manner
In my judgment it was a death knell to
independentism and its twin-brother
Barrettism in Pike county.” The course
f the Gazette during the late canvass
has been very gratifying to its friends
who have so closely watched its conduct
and the line of its influence, because at
a perilous moment things were called by
plain names, its policy out-spokeu, in
its counsels, the masses found a true
leader of popular opinion and an open
uncompromising foe to the enemies of
its party.

Please a!law space in your valuable pa
per to respectfully refer to two or three
items in the General Presentments of
of the lastJGrand Jury of our Superior

public road leading from “Zebulon to
Concord so narrow in some places as to
render passing very difficult.” That
part of said road passing through the
9th road District tp Concord is of suf
ficient width to allow passing safe and

2nd. That” the road leading from

That part of said road passing through
the Sth District has been faithfully
worked and is in good order. 3rd. Post,

all over the county.” The law is fully
complied with in the 49th District as to
signboards and mileposts. Our Com

For the
Fj l '- Potter’s Sfflßon to^Tomen.
Mr. Editor: *
Dr. Potter’s sermon on last Sabbath
morning in the Methodist Church, on
Luke Ylll—3rd verse, seemed to intet
est the men a,s much as the class io
which it was particularly addressed.
Many of his “tongue-shots” (which are
as penetrating as his “pen-shots)” seem*
Mr l to take remarkable effect in provok
ing thought, and also in touching a
tender chord in many female hearts,
that are ready to furst with the instinct
of (jiving but with little or no means of
gratifvingthe instinct, becatfse, of the
penuriousness of the family Treasurer.
One small de%at of the sermon was t he
failure on the part of the preacher to
tell the wo An the method by which
Mrs- ChuziPsucceeded in getting from
Mr. Chuza enough money to accomplish
so much toward maintaining Christ and
his Apostles. There is no evidence that
Mr. Chuza was a disciple, or felt much
interest in his wife’s disciplesliip or
that he was very open-handed. Xo
doubt many ladies of Dr. Potter's au
dience “hoped to the end” that he would
suggest the methed by which the godly
and generous Mrs. Cknza got her hands
so down into tie pockets of her
Taking all the risks of a
shot inthe twilight, I will venture ink
the broad field of Biblical expositioil
•Chuza, the record tells us, was Herod’s*
steward (housekeeper) and as was
al had a definite sum allowed him for
the maintenance of the royaUiousehold.
Mrs. Chuza doubtless carried the keys
and she could by prudenc*and econo
my find a considerable mas|i for pro
fits in the generous allowance n%ulc by
king Herod for the support of L*s fami
ly. Those proliits were rightfully hers,
to be disposed of according- to her “own
sweet will;” and added to what she
felt inclined to save by little acts of per
sonal self denial, would make in the ag
gregate a considerable sum. True, site
was a lady —as every Christian woman
is—and considered wliat was proper for
her wardrobe; but it .would not be a
wild conjecture to affirm that she spent
nothing for fashionable follies—every
thing for propriety but nothing for per
sonal vanity. In this way she obtained
the means' of gratifying her heart’s
earnest longing to minister to the nec
essities of the homeless Redeemer and
his Apostles. DidM>t her delicate spit
ited insight teach Tier that those offer
ings which were the result of personal
self-denial were the most .precious in
the judgment of Him who tloquently
commended the poor widow’s offering
of two mites ?
But my pen is running wild. It was
only intended by this article to corn
rnommend to the true and honest hearts
of both sexes the precious jewels of
truth contained in Me sermon, and to
show one way by wmch even the hum
blest and poorest may “minister to
Christ of their* substance.” The ser
mon ought to be published; and there
is one five dollar bill waiting to joinoth
er dollars to accomplish it.

Dear Sisters— l am afraid we have
a ’’white elephant” on our hands in this
last subject of discussion, and if you
will all kindly permit me to say so, I
think you are all wrong. I think the
sympathetic words from “Beatrice Xo.
1” and “Sympathizer” came from warm
hearts and were all right so far as such
words can help such a case. I think
“Talker” and “Mrs. H. S.” were a lit
tle too severe in their insinuations
against the other sex to givo unpreju-#
diced advice. In fact it is just like ev
erything else in life. Every man and
woman in the world seems to think he
or she can other man or
woman’s perfection. Don't
you know that evffybody thinks every
body else mismanages their children if
they happen to be bad or go astray? And
is it not so of everything else? I don’t
believe that there are any two men on
earth alike in their natures and disposi
tions and if it is so, of coarse Ihere are
no two husbands alike, consequently
they can’t be managed alike. course
it is a fact well understood among the
members of this Department that hus
bands do have to be managed and their
successful management is a very im
portant part of domestic economy; but
it is my firm conviction that every wo
man must find out for herself and by
personal experience just what is neces
sary to success in this matter. N o wo
man ever knwvs a man’s disposition ’till
she lives with him so do girl need be seek
ing she shall
“Determined,” but I will simply say
that iiiy husband lias moping spells, and
if you want to know what I do, why !
just let him mope. It has been my ob
servation of people generally that every,
body has to work off surplus feeling
some way. Some people talk it off,
some sing it off, some have hysterics
and laugh and cry too, others cry and
pout, some fight, some scribble for the
press, others run off from home awhihj
Ac., and if it is the
my husband's nature to mope
shall he not mope? “Determined” catiM
you see it that way? He is just as
;i3 ever when the spell is over, sonH
times better, so it is getting to be qufl
as a matter of course with me.
Was it who wanted tV

just learning and think I will be able
to write out simple directions next week
if she has not already had them. This
I am learning to make is sis wide as your
hand, and is a very showy and durable
trimming. Now, Talker what do you
want to get after me about my l^byfor?
I think the pour little helpless creatures
need all the attentiongtlfty can get. But
I will say mine does not cause Mno to
neglect my husband for he (|s good
enough to help me with it, so that lean
look after him too. Why did you hot
answer Sty question about the flannel
underwear instead of lecturing me? I !
believe you are disposed to scold young
folks a little anyhow, are’nt you now?
I never supposed you to be a man, but!
know the author of that charming little
poem signed I. D. S. is a man and a nice
one too. Sympathizer l do hope you
don't intend to bid us adieu for. any
length of time. And I hope you will
withdraw your resolution not to write
those additional letters to Beatrice or
Determined. Some of us lik our sen
timental inclinations very iSffii and
would like to hear more of your sunny,
love-lighted home. For my part 1 enjoy
hearing from all the sisters, and aril sor
ry when some of them are so long si
lent. IVhat has become of our swMt
|pirited trio “Faith,” “Hope and Ch
ty?” "Will they not let us.hear from
th(#u again? In looking back and think
ing of those who wrote to us so long
ago, I wonder if “Janet” is still wrest
ling with the cook question, and if Mrs.
11. P. is still successful with her chick
ens. Does Winnie Winn find her whole
time absorbed i# using her “limber
twig” that we cannot hear from her? I
can’t imagine what is the matter with
“Elizabeth.” She seemed to be such an
expert housekeeper that I hoped to geti
much useful information from her let
ters, and she has disappointed me by
being silent for months, wliat is it sister
Elizabeth?

For The Hduseholrl:
In the last issue of the Gazette we
promised to invade the Household De
partment with a view to telling “Mrs.
H. S. ” and “Talker” why it was we
gave no space in one issue for House
hold contributions. We can but be
say that nothing was I'itr
will “Mrs. H. S.’’ and “Talker” both
of both graphic and
tvMchaiWjlades, when they will so to
do, feel that they have been hasty in
their strictures bn us for our politic al
zeal? We feel that we did no more
than a true patriot, a'provident husband
and a watchful father should and would
do under the circumstances. Everyfgen
tleman, and we do_not feel that we
would be wrong if we should say every
lady, should take a lively interest in phi
itics. Political parties make legisla
tures. Legislators make our law's. Our
laws protect “Mrs. H. S.” and “Tal
ker.” Then w r e feel justified in the ac
tive interest we manifested. We do
not intend in asserting this justifica
tion to raise an issue with either of
these elegant contributors to the House
hold. On the contrary we absolutely
do not intend to engage in any conflict
if they w r ere to offer battle. We have
never had much inclination to battle
with a foe that w r e feared,
In this connection w feel disposed
to offer some thoughts for the ladies of
the Household, and especially to “Tal
ker” who was so pungent in her last
reference to office-holding, by man, and
to “Beatrice Xo. 2” or “Determined”
as she last signed herself. We can ex-
for the little display of
resentment, at being called a man.
Man may be an office-holder in any po
sition from the chief magistracy of the
nation down to that of the humblest
police justice; but man can never be the
lady of the house. In her sphere the
lady of the house is supreme. She is
more than king. She is queen. She is
more than autocrat. She is the supreme
dispenser of the happiness or misery of
the househ4d. She rules either in the
graceful majesty of a living and con
siderate soul, or with the malevolent
malediction of a scorpion. She is eith
er an angel.of light, or a vixen, accord
ing to her jhysieal and mental make
up. According to what she says and
the way she says it the family are lit up
with sunshine or enshrouded in cl ouds
of sulky gloom.
Xot every woman is aware of it, yet
it is no less a fact that a woman can do
almost anything she pleases in ruling
the man who may happen to have the
honor of being her husband. There I s
an indescribable a§d boundless charm*
in the cherry voice of a true woman
just as there is in her appearance. She
may T#t be arrayed in costly garments
or even clad in the latest fashions and
yet may have power by a look or a w ord
to subdue the unruly passions of an
eviT and fiery man. But the woman who
expects to rule and subdue by unpleas
antly asserting her intention do so
makes a sorrowful failure of the at
tempt. She who neglects husband and
children or greets them with cold for
mality and expects cheerful
tiou in return will bo dssa^ppiirte<B||g
