For sixty years Goldsboro has had open saloons On the 8th of last October the people voted on the question of prohibition and the issue was carried by a larger majority than the total vote which was cast against it, which showed conclusively that the people wished to abolish the saloons and that the determination was too great to be overcome by any ordinary force.

Under the law under which the election was held prohibition must remain in force for at least two years. It is an experiment for Goldsboro. If its enforcement proves beneficial to the community it will be readopted.

Some Thoughts and Suggestion Written Out and Linked Together For the Encouragement of Those Who Have Made New Year Resolutions.

S. scmnding oi any liour, but whilst it gleams in the red glow of life it shail give forth the treasure oi joys agaiust which floods of unrest may beat vainly, and the ice-rain of grief be powerless to reach and chillr and kill. In joy the glass is swelling high and ever higher, wild and ever wilder, gleaming and flashing and quivering a great lovebeam of the human heart, swung as yielding incense be- i fore the altar of human faiiu and constancy and adoration, the most blessed of all of humanity's offerings to its faithful here upon the earth. Fair faith, with angel hands, is uplifting, upholding and swinging the frail vessel of this world's sweetest stores, and mankind lucks and longs for the happiness buiiued in dreams asleep and prayers awarie through the long wa; iiig iu the sanctuary of youug hope grown old in hoping. So the moments run thams jivch in golden sands whilst we live rightly and be glad that the legiois of doubt and discord and unrest go sweeping unheeded by to join all the children of earth who will not so live, ano who wrll not seek joy along the quiet ways where blow the blossoms of devotion and faithfulness, the unsearchable and unpui chasuble riches of hearts that are true.

And so glide the glad moments into gladder hours, gladdest days, and we care not how swiftly we speed or whi? her bound, A save tnat it De ours to reach some happy valley in the land of the leal. And for every one who is true there is a happy valley somewhere, sometime to be reached, where the chil dren of laughter and happiness meet and kiss each other, and wandering amongst flowers lair wonder all day long that love and life and the world are so superlatively beautiful. It is not for us to ask what shall be brought by to-moriow, for to morrow may not come. It is to-day, for-ever to-day, with all hearts that are young and all that are true. Spirits of goodness and truth and love were not created to trrow old.
