"Tied-back- " Deesses. Of course wesee the "tied back dresses everywhere.Tarboro is certainly not behind in thisrespect and the comity is fast fallainginto line.

Perhaps this style is a success to those youngladies who wish to captivate by their dres3.It is really amusing to look into the streetspleasant afternoons and see how they do it.Wehave nothing to say against "tied- -back " dresses, but merely ask permissionto observe what a pity it is Adam and Eveever sinned 1

Membership rx a Geange. The editorof the Agricultural Journal answers thequestion, " What are the qualifications essential to entitle an applicant for membership to a seat in the Grange ?" in the fcllowing manner :

First, we have to say, a farmer of goodtnoral character and intelligence sufficientto understand the objects ox the order. Ifnot a farmer, the applicant should be engaged ia some bnsiness directly connectedwnn iarming, otherwise the greater thenumber the weaker the order. A eood rulewould be not to vote for any applicant formembership that you would not cordially re- -ceiya in your family, and by pursuing thiscourse, if fewer in number, the Patrons ofliusbandry would grow m strength.

An Appeal. On the first Monday innext month the county officials will haveto renew their bonds. These officials ofcourse expect their present bondsmen tocome foward and stand with them again,and also expect the board of Commission-ers to accept them. There are two or threewhite men of some decency on these bonds.When they are called upon to renew, weask them in the name of all that is sacredto themselves, their race, their families toremember they practically endorse theCivil Rights bill and radicalism in all itshkleou3uess; to remember the vile anddisgraceful conduct of the representativesof that party in Edgecombe ; to remembertheir blatant abuse of gentlemen in the lateharrangues to crowds of black dupes ; toremember, in becoming bondgmen, theyplace themselves in direct antagonism tothe wishes and interest of the white peopleof the county ; to remember they do themJen times more good than voting for them ;

and last to remember white men will holdthem strictly responsible for the miserablefarce the county government of Edge-combe is. It ia a grave thing, too, to rup-ture with eyes wide open time honoredsocial ties. Once more, gentlemen, wcappeal to you ia the name of decency torepudiate the ignorance and rascality thatcharacterizes the radical party. Oh God !

think of the insult you offer your childrenwhen you put your signature to the bondsof such men.

Draw thz Line In the words of theRaleigu News it is certain, that as betweenparties, certain definite lines must bedrawn. Men must be known as belonging

Bto one order or the other. This delicateblending of one party with tho other, andthis kindly preservation of social relationswill not do.

Tbe radical party has drawn its line; Ithas sunk its foundation, end that founda-tion is built on the negro vote.

Notv here in Edgecombe, in Wake, inMccklenbvg, in Wayne, in New Hanover,wo see Democrats and Republicans ia fullsocial accord. Is this right ? Shall Dem-cra- ts

accept their masters? Must thewhite bow to the black ? Must the prin-ciple yield to policy ? And will the whiteDemocrat recognize as a social equal themeg who have nursed in tLeir arms negrobabies and kissed mothers that the equality of races might be preserved ? God for-bid that the white men of North Carolinakould come down to this degradation.

But the Radicals demand it, and, forsooth,how many of our Democratic friends havetaken it quietly?

We agree with the News and advisewhite men lo draw the line strongly.Those who have voted the negro ticket,let them stay on that Bide. Let them beknown as negroes. W e have repeatedlyurjucd this upon decent society in our section. Let it be done.

CncEOH at Falls of Tab River. Thi3gigantic stiucture was finished last weekby Mr. C. Goss, architect, and is consider-

ed an excellent job. It is one of .the larg-

est country churches we ever saw. Size,57x70 feet ; has ten large windows, sixdoors, nearly one hundred benches, andcapable of seating over a thousand peoplecomfortably. There is also a large gallery.Mr. Goss who has done the greater portionof the work on this building deserves greatcredit and shows remarkable skill and tactto get it up. We think the denominationis Baptist. The church is erected on thslocation of the one burned down last year ;

and cost about $2,500. "It will stand thebreast of many a storm, and be a lastingmonument to people yet unborn if notburned or torn down. Roanoke News.

Seriously Wounded. About 12 o'clockWednesday night while the negroes wereengaged ia filing cannon in celebrationof Thursday's result, just outside the cor-

porate limits of the town, A. McCabe, anenthusiastic while radical, in rammiug thegun, was seriously injured by a prematuredischarge. The attending physician is ofthe opinion both eyes are impaired for life,while his face, breast and hands are horri-

bly burned. It is probable that the acci-

dent will prove fatal. McCabe is a mem-

ber elect of the Convention, but his inju-ries will doubtless necessitate the electionof another person. Wc learn he wa3 oneof two white men on the grounds.

P. 8. Since the above was put in type,his injuries though severe are less dangerous than was first supposed.

A True White Max. The RoanokeNews says that Mr. Byrd Edwards, an oldgentleman living at the Falls of Tar Riverwho has been confined to his bed for thepast 13 niontLs with paralysis and is nearlyseventy years of age, said before the elec-

tion if he could get to the polls would castthe Democratic ticket. He is a brave oldman dhd his example is worthy of imita-

tion by many people in our State who donet vote at all. The old man no doubtfouud means to get to the polls and prov-ed himself true to his race by g hisballot for the gallant Bunn, a candidate ofthe party that represents the whito race inthe State. How many white men in Edge-

combe were less true to their color on elec-tion day and how many there were in NorthCarolina ! An aged cripple thinks enoughof his interests as a white man to undergogreat physical pain in order to cast his votefor the principles of the democratic party,and able bodied men so destitute cf simi-

lar impulses stay at home and allow theresult to resemble a victory for ignoranceand rascality. For shame !

Taeiouo by Another. At RockyMount last Wednesday we met a bridalparty of ladies and gentlemen from Edgecombe who had come up with a new mar-

ried couple, Prof. Gillespie, of Wilson, andMiss. Rouse, of Edgecombe. Tho brideand groom were off for a bridal tour toBangor, Maine, the former home of theProfessor. They were married ou Wed-

nesday, the 4th instant, and were happy.As they left on the afternoon W. & W.R. R. cars, the friends who had accompa-

nied them from Tarboro returned home.It being convenient, we ran down to Tar-

boro for a change. Were met at the de-

pot by our old friend C. C. Thomas, Esq.,who is still running the Bus Line. TheCaptain has the best turnout we have seenSouth. Four spirited horses in front of afine omnibus; it is really imposing. Thebus was put up by Messrs. Ilussey Bros. &Williamson, and reflects credit on thosegentlemen. It is large, light, comfortablewithin, aud looks well without. There isno limit to its capacity as a hack is neverfull. We hope Capt. Thomas will makea success from his enterprise, as he sayshe is running the end of the Tarboro branchroad, and claims to have the best turnoutof any horse car road South. WeldonNews.

WTLLEFORD. Ia this county, on the9th inst., of consumption, Mrs. ElizabethWllleford, wife of Burton Willeford,deceased, aged 23 years 6 months and 9days.

BENNETT. On the 5th inst.. at TransientRest, in Nash County, Mauk; Bexsrtt. 5nhis seventy-sixt- h year.

I10 one had stronger passions to control.and more stubborn prejudices to subdue ;yet in no one, was there ever achieved amore complete victory over self, and oversin.

In malice a child, in understanding a man.his life was a continnal rebnke to all thatwas false and wrong ; but a brijjht and lovely example in every thing which he beleivedto be true and right.

In the pulpit, and from housa to house, atall times and in every place, by purenessby knowledge, by long-sufferin- g, by kind-ness, and by love unfeigned, he was appro-ved to his Divine Master, and commendedto every man's conscience, in the sinht ofGod. In subjection to bodily sufferings ofunusual kind, and extreme severity, the out-ward man perished : yet the inward manwas renewed day by day, until death wasswallowed up in victory. T. E. 0.
