It is publish ed in pamphlet form by the Memo rial Association of Xewbern. and is the substanco of an address delivered before that association by Captain Hamilton C. Graham, formerly of Newbern, on Memorial Day, 1885. The frontispiece is a handsome engraving of the Confederate monument at New bern. Rey. J. D. Hufham, iu the Biblical Recorder, says: It troubles me a little that our preachers are taking such an active part in the local option cam paign in certain communities. I am old-fashioned enough to believe that the New Testament is our guide in all matters of faith and practice; and ac cording to that book the preacher's work is to preach the gospel. By sticking to his work he does the most and best that he can for correcting all the ills and'evils of this present life. It is his own weapon. Whenever he turns aside to other instrumentalities he weakens himself and the cause. Rockingham Rocket : ' The revival meeting which has been carried on at the Baptist Church for the past two weeks by Rev. F. M. Jordan, closed on Tuesday night last.

Raleigh News-Observer: It has been decided to hold the Next State fair during the week beginning October 24th. The prospects for a first-class fair were never brighter. The State gives $1,500 in cash for premiums. The Stfttd Board of Agriculture con tributes a like sum. The Board has also Promised to make a very extensive and of i course handsome display of the State's resources. Capt. James R. Thigpen died near Baltimore Mon day morning. Ho had gone there for treatment of an affection of the eyes. His death was sudden and un expected. He was widely knownun the State as a thoroughly practical farmer. At one time he edited an agricultural paper at Tarboro. At the outbreak of the war he went into the service of the State as a lieutenant in Co. E., 43rd regiment, and rose to the captaincy of that company. His age was about snscy-eignt years. j FAIR FKANKIE FOLSOM. President Cleveland's Bride. Chosen BoSTONVApnl 26. Mr." H. F. Har mon, a well-known State street flour merchant of this city, is an nncle of Miss Frankie Folsom, of Buffalo. A Globe reporter found Mr. Harmon in his office to-day, and asked whether there is any doubt that President Cleveland is going to marry Miss Fol som. Mr. Harmon said : "Frankly speaking, there is none. It was not our intention to announce the engagementuntil some little time before the wedding, but unfortunately it was made public, by a breach of confidence on the part of friends in Buffalo, I have just been writing a letter to Miss Frankie. It is now nearly time for her to return home." "Do you suppose that she has heard of the rumors in circulation on this side of the Atlantic?" "I have no doubt she has learned something. I was engaged in writ-, ing her, as you entered, that the cat was out of the bag, and giving her a little of the gossip she may expect to hear on returning home. We fre quently receive letters from her about the trip. She writes often, and her letters are particularly bright. She has a brilliant descriptive style, and is an enthusiastic observer. Among the many rumors that have appeared was one to the effect that the expenses of her Europerfi trip were paid by Mr. Cleveland. There is not a particle of truth in it; and I do not see how it ever originated, i It was Miss Folsom's intention to announce the engagement in due time before the wedding, but to her, as well as the entire family, the premature statements concerning it are a great surprise. As I have said, only a few were let into the secret, and some one was evidently unable to hold it. At last accounts Miss Folsom was in the best of health. She enjoyed the visit to Italy very much, the only drawbackj being her mother's illness in Genoa, where she was taken down with a fever." "Miss Folsom's acquaintance with President Cleveland," Mr. Harmon continued, ''forms' a romantic stor3T. Her father was one of Mr. Cleveland's warmest friends, and, owing to his business relations as a law partner, was intimately acquainted with the family. Frankieat a very early age gave promise of great beauty. As a child she was loved by every one who knew her. She was frank in manner, warm-hearted and very beautiful. When scarce knee high she was par ticularly friendly; to 'Uncle Cleve,' as she called him, and in after years held him as one of her dearest friends and advisers. Then came her father's death, with its attending changes. I have no doubt, if he had lived he wouldjhave been much gratified at the marriage. It has already been told how Miss Folsom p&ssed her school life. She was an. ambitious student and deservedly popular. One of her strong characteristics was her modesty. She was entirely unassuming in man ner, having none of the conceit and hauteur of which so many young ladies are victims." "When did President Cleveland be gin his attentions.?" was asked. "I can hardly answer that," was the reply." "He always was very friend ly disposed toward Miss Folsom from the time she was a child, but about three years ago- his attentions began to assume a more serious aspect. Al though very reserved in manner it w s evident ne now cared iar more for the woman than he had in former years for the child. When Miss Fol som and her mother visited the White House last year considerable talk was made regarding ajpossible engagement pt the' President, but not until the recent announcement of the engage ment were any turther reports put in circulation. I think I may safely say you can travel a great many miles and see a great many people before you will and a young Jady ot greater beau ty and accomplishments than Miss iolsom. She possesses sound com mon sense, and is in every way worthy ot the position she will occupy." The News and Courier, CHARLESTON, S. C. N EIGHT PAGE DAILY PAPER. PRINTED ON ' R.
