Sellars, Alamance, assault and battery, spring term, 1386, six months in jail. It is with pleasure that we direct the attention of those of our readers who have daughters to educate to the new advertisement of Greensboro Fe male College in this paper. It is an institution of which not alone the Methodist church, but the entire State, has great cause to feel proud, and we are glad to fyear that the school was never in a more prosperous condition, and that its standard of excellence is equal to the best schools of the south. The North Carolina, horticultural saciety will hold its annual fruit fair at Fayetteville, August 4th and 5th, in Williams' hall. It will be the largest and best display yet made.

Apples, pears, peaches, grapes, can ned fruits, preserves, pickled fruits, jellies, driea! and evaporated fruits, tlowers, &c, are to be shown. A severe and most destructive hail storm, followed by a heavy rain, passed over a large portion of Wayne county, about three miles south of Goldsboro on Friday, doing much damage to crops and fences. The path of the hail came from the direction of Grant ham's store, passing Ed. Stevens, and over the Everettsville section in a south-eastern course. J Heavy damage was done to the crops of John C. Col lier, J. R. Lewis, Wm. Bonitz, John H. Edwards!, James ; Edwards, Bob. Fields, J. R. Roberts, Rich. Mozingo, A. J. Harrell, Ashley Jones and others. The Collier farm fared badly. Large fields of cotton and corn were completely Stripped of every particle of foliage and present a pitiful ap pearance. The hail is said to have teen the largest ever seen in this county. , Lost.

We 'have patronized this excellent resort and can in all confi dence recommend it to those of our friends who may wish to visit Saratoga this season on account of its excellent situation, comfortable airy rooms and spacious verandahs, as well as its near proximity to all of the upper springs.

The Rifles are talking about having an encampment next month. Definite action will probably be taken at their meeting next Thursday evening. The carrier pigeons let loose by Mr. B. E. Smith, some days since, arriyed in New York early the next morning, making the trip in about twenty-four hours. The head of the head of the new hardware firm was crowned with a white beaver on Saturday. It was a present to Mr. Smith from Mr. W. R. Burch. Mr. Will N. Hanff returned last week from a trip to the eastern part of the State in the interest of Ludddn & Bates' Music House, with which he is now connected. If the police will "noose around" on Mulberry street, between West Centre and James, they will not be long in finding something that ought to be buried, and that speedily. Tickets to Morehead City and re turn, good until Oct. 31st, are now on sale at four dollars from this city. Tickets good going Saturday and re turning Monday are sold at three dol lars.

We presume they are making cotton and corn while the sun shines." Well; we hope they will make an abundance of both and that better times generally will dawn in the Fall. : Miss Annie Moore is back from Germany, her many friends will be delighted to learn. TDhere was a crowd of happy little ones at the depot to meet her yesterday evening. Prof, and Mrs. Claxton accompanied her as far as Baltimore, where they will re main for a short while. We learn that there will be an ex cursion from Washington City, July 10th, to Canada; at the very low price of $10.00 for the round trip. Tickets good for thirty days. It might be well for any of our readers who pur pose a trip in that direction to take advantage of this cheap ticket. The Raleigh State Chronicle says: They're towns in which a man may live with pride Wilson and Goldsboro and Durham. The recent decisions of the Supreme Court had the effect of closing the Graded Schools in these towns, but the public-spirited citizens have raised voluntary subscriptions and will continue them, tfntil some bet ter legislation can be obtained. The Chronicle has published many news items, but never one with more pleas ure than this. We would that every town in the State was similarly awake on the importance of public education. A colored woman, named Carry Lane, who lives on William Street, opposite Jones' row, was shot in the right breast yesterday afternoon. Im mediately after the report of the pis tol was heard, a colored man, Kit Williams, came hurriedly out of the house and upon being asked what was the trouble, replied that two women got to scuffling and that one shot the other. The wounded wgman says that Kit did the shooting but that it was accidental. The injuries are not con sidered serious by Dr. Tom Hill, who was called in about three-quarters of an hour after the affair occurred. 4 'Man's inhumanity to nfan makes countless millions mourn' We were reminded of this quotation last Wed nesday evening when a distressed, afflicted and suffering colored man was permitted to lie several hours on the vacant lot north of the. Opera House, without assistance from his own race. or from the police. The in difference of our colored people to the unfortunate of their fellows is becom ing proverbial. We are sorry that it is so. Let the more humane among them apply themselves to the task of inculcating philanthropic principles. Negligeneeof suffering humanity adds nothing to the reputation of a people. The contemplated hardware con solidation referred to in our columns a week or two since has been consum mated. Messrs. W. H. Smith and W. T. Yelvertoh are now 'doing business, at the old stand of the first named entlenan, under the firm name of mith & Yelverton. This is a strong team, with a large stock from which to select. We wish these experienced hardware dealers great success in their consolidation. An extension of fifteen feet is being added to the building to meet in part the increased demand for room, and we noticed other improve ments, finished and in process, about the commodious store-room. See new advertisement of Messrs. Smith & Yel verton in this issue. We wouldn't say anything about it if Joe Robinson hadn't exulted so over our open air acrobatic manipulations from a bicycle seat some time since. Joe quit the bicycle after he left the Messenger and took to horse-back and so expert did he become that a few evenings ago he transformed William Street into a race track, the city ordinances to the contrary not withstanding, and with a "git-up-and git-what-I-feed-you-for," air made the dust fairly fly5. But the police, who are so hard to find except when an editor transgresses the law, invited Joe to an interview with the Lord Mayor and the Lord Mayor applied the brakes to Joe's future lightenmg speed aspirations by requiring a de posit in the City Treasurer equivalent to eight or nine months subscription to the Daily Argus. Now, if you know of anybody who wants to swap a slow horse (warranted not to go over six miles an hour) for one of those race track fellows, send him to Joe for a trade. THANKS. The last issue of the Goldsboro weekly Transcript-Messenger closed its nineteenth year. We congratulate our contemporary on the event. Broth er Bonitz has made a great success of his paper, and it stands to-day a mon ument to his great energy, industry and talent as a journalist. We wish the Messenger many more years of usefulness and success. Wilmington Star, June 27th. A LITERARY TREAT. Rev. A.

EDITORS IJf KINGTON, ; WASH- Rambling Jottings ot our Trip -. to the M at ional Capital. -; The writer left this citv Sunday, on the N. CVRoad, to join the Press Con vention which' had preceded him the day before to Washington. -: We were accompanied, as far as Greensboro by our jrenial friend, Mr. J.A.Robinson, of ' the Charlotte Evening Chronicle, whose duties debarred him the pleas ure of the visit to the capital. We were joined at Durham by Mr. C. B. Green, of the Tobacco Plant and his two sons; at Graham by Mr. Kernqdle, of the Gleaner, and at Greensboro by Mr. Eldridge, of the Lexington Dis patch. By the Richmond & Danville and Virginia Midland Railroads, we ar rived at Washington Monday morning, about 10 o'clock, being an hour or more behind time. The R. & D. now controls the Virginia Midland and cars run through from Atlanta, Ga., to Washington City, which is a great convenience to travelers North and South over that route. The terminus of the Virginia Midland is at Alexan dria, Va., and they are compelled to pay heavy and discriminating tribute to the Pennsylvania Railroad for transporting passengers from Alexan dria to Washington, a distance of sev en miles. The Pennsylvania rates are fifteen and twenty-five cents per capita and yet they require of the Midland, with their own trains, forty cents for each passenger, to which the Midland adds ten cents, making the fare fifty cents. We were informed, also, that the Midland was charged eight dollars for every freight car brought over this seven miles of track. These exorbitant charges will, most likely, result in the building of a road by the Richmond & Danville system. En route we enjoyed the mountain ous scenery of Northern Virginia and caught glimpses of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, which stood upon an elevated prominence to our right. We also passed the field on which was fought the battle of Brandy Station. Upon arriving at Washington we proceeded to the Metropolitan Hotel, so popular among Southerners, where arrangements had been made for the entertainment of the members, by the energetic and efficient Secretary of the Association, Mr. J. H. Lindsey, of the Kernersville News. After "washing up" and attending to the necessities of the inner man, we were furnished with a program of the day and forthwith started out in search of the "gang." The first thing in the order of events was a visit to the Government Print ing Office and the next a yisit to the Patent Office. Owing to our late ar rival, we did not reach the former place and saw but little of the latter. At 1:30 o'clock we visited the White House and were received by the Pres ident, We were accompanied by Sen ator's Ransom and Vance and Repre sentatives Reid and Cox and perhaps others. The Association, as a body, was introduced by Senator Vance and each member was afterwards present ed by name. Mr. Cleveland extended a pleasant salutation to each one as he shook his hand with a firm rip. The President is not altogether as portly as represented by his pictures. He has a fine head and his face shows the firmness which has characterized his administration. By speciar courtesy we were shown the blue room, in which the President was married, the brown room and the State dining room, all of which were, of course, handsomely furnished. , There was manifest curiosity to see Mrs. Cleveland, whose praise is upon the lips of nearly all Washingtonians, but she was seen only by those of the Association who attended Dr. Sunder lin's church Sunday morning. After leaving the White House we paid our respects to Hon. T. F. Bay ard, Secretary of State, who gave us a pleasant greeting. This gentleman impressed us as being of a very mod est and retiring disposition. We visited the War Museum and saw many objects of interest, among them the two first shots hred from Fort Sumter. Monday afternoon we visited the capitol and saw both Houses of Con gress in session. Later, we took a stroll through the Botanical Gardens. In the evening a reception was given by the North Carolina Democratic As sociation, at their headquarters in the Post building. Here the prohibition ists, who are in the majority in the Press Association, were afforded the opportunity of showing whether or not their votes exceeded the bounds of theory. At 9 o'clock, p. m., a reception was given by Senator Vance, at his resi dence, 1,627 Massachusetts avenue, to the members of the Association, North Carolinians residing in Washington and to other invited guests. Among the latter were Senators and Repre sentatives fi om other btates. Mrs. Vance is a'most charming lady and by the cordiality evinced in her pleas ant, gracetul manners, made a tavor able impression upon the many ad mirers of our honored Zeb. then and there assembled. At this reception we met for the first time our co-laborer on the Mes senger staff, Mr. Cicero W. Harris, whose literary productions have won the admiration of thousands of our readers. We thank him for courtesies extended. We remark with pleasure that we saw no wines or other intoxicating drinks at the lunch served on this oc casion. Zeb hasn't a "teetotal" repu tation in North Carolina, but we learn that his good wife, as all other good women should do, does not allow in toxicating beverages to form a part of the menu at her home, at any time. This pleasant party ended the exer cises of. the day. ; Tuesday morning we visited the Treasury Department, by invitation of the chief clerk. Here we were shown through many of the offices and were taken into the vaults where Uncle Sam keeps his well-filled purses. In a small room were three hundred and forty millions of dollara iir U. S. bonds placed there by various banks in the country to secure circulation. We were literally "surrounded by wealth.'? "Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink." " After leaving the Treasury Depart ment we visited that great work of art-theiPanorama of the ' Battle of Manasses or Second Bull Run." This work was executed under the super vision of Theo. Poiipot, of 1 Paris,- It covers 20,000 square feet of canvas and 7,000 pounds o paint? f ere fused in juepicung,Tiie' rsceiKj m.uo? panor ama 'is stationary arid is '"contained in THE a building - erected for thepurpose. The total cost, is said to have teen $135,000. The grand sight is viewed from a circular platform in the centre, y ilfrom here we went to the Corcoran Art Gallery, where there are to be seen so many elegant paintirisrs. stat uary, cast, bronzes, &c. This build ing and the contents at that time, to gether with an endowment fand of $900,000, were donated to the public for the encouragement of the Fine Arts, on May 10, 1869, bv Wm. W. Corcoran. The cost of tfie building and ground was $250,000,, and. Mr. Corcoran's collection was valued at $100,000.. To this collection many valuable additions have been made. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and : Satur days admission is free, and on Mon days, Wednesdays and Fridays a fee of 25 cents is charged. We have not the space to undertake a description of the scores of interesting objects that we saw here. We next visited the Smithsonian In stitute, but did not have time to go entirely over the building. IVashington, with its palatial struc tures, elegant parks, numerous foun tains, nne statuary, broad streets, etc., is a beautiful city; in fact it is almost universally acknowledged to surpass in appearance anyand all cities in the United States. - We were agreeably surprised in respect io its Deauty. im provements are still going on and iu twenty years, it is predicted, it will rival if not surpass the far famed for eign cities which now lay claim to the distinction of being the most beautiful in the world. Tuesday night, at 11 o'clock, we left the lively scenes of the capital, arriv ing here Wednesday afternoon, with the conviction intensified that after all to us there is nothing like a happy; contented home in the Old North State especially in Goldsboro. STOCKHOLDER'S MEETING Of the Atlantic & N. C. Railroad. The thirty-second annual meetintr of the stockholders of the A. & N. C. R. Co. was held at Morehead City on Thursday, the 24th day of June. We condense from the Newbern Journal : President Bryan called the meeting to order and a temporary organization was effected by electing Col. Paul F. Faison Chairman and F. W. Hancock Secretary. Ihe committee on proxies reported 15,222 shares represented in person and by proxy, entitled to 1,460 votes. This included 12,666 shares owned bv the State and represented by T. B. Womack, entitled to 6M votes. The committee also reported a number of shares represented by Mr. J. B. Batch elor as proxy, but the owners of the stock had railed to comply with the by-law of the company, which requires an affidavit to accompany all proxies that they are the bona fide owners of said stock. Upon motion the temporary organi zation was made permanent. State Proxy T. B. Womack an nounced the following Directors on the part of the State : Washington Bryan and C. E. Foy, of Craven coun ty; Dempsey Wood and John F. Wooten, of Lenon county; W. H. H. Cobb, of Wayne; W. S. Chad wick, of Carteret; W. C. Stronach and Paul F. Faison, of Raleigh. The following were elected directors on the part of the private stockholders: John Gatling, Eugene Morehead, Ar nold Borden and James A. Pridgen.. On motion of T. B. Womack, the President's and other officers' annual reports were received and adopted and the reading dispensed with. Messrs. Jno. C. Wooten, W. B. Dun can and Jno. W. Hinsdale were elected finance committee for the ensuing year. The chairman announced the follow ing proxy committee for the ensuing year : H. W. Wahab, L. J. Moore, J. C. Kennedy, F. M. Simmons, J. F. Jones and W. T. Cahtf. Maj. R. S. Tucker introduced the following preamble and resolution : Whereas, The bonded debt of this company is now bearing interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum, payable semi-annuallv, and amounts to $196,000, falling due on the 1st day of January, 1888; and whereas, inas much as the said bonded debt is se cured by a first mortgage of all the property of this company, it is the sense of the stockholders that this company can borrow money on the same securities at a much lower rate of interest; and whereas, there is now outstanding and in force a judgment of the circuit court, of the United States for the Eastern District of North Carolina against this company for $31,424 which is demandedable at the same time the said bonded debt becomes due; and whereas, for the purpose of operating the railroad of this company it is necessary to pur chase a quantity of new steel rails and additional rolliEg stock, and whereas, it is necessary to raise an amount of money to meet the .said indebtedness by bond and judgment and to make the purchase of the rails and rolling stock. Now therefore be it Resolved, That the President and Di rectors ot this company be and are hereby authorized and instructed to negotiate a loan to this company of an amount of money not to exceed $325, 000 to be applied to the purposes aforesaid, ana for the purposes of ef fecting the said loan they are autho rized and empowered to issue the coupon bonds of this company running thirty years bearing interest payable semi-annually and secured by a mort gage of all the property ot this com nanv now in its Dossession ana nerear- ter to be acquired, said bonds and mortgage to be signed by the Presi dent and countersigned by the Secre tary and Treasurer and sealed with the seal of the company. Provided, however, none of the said bonds shall be sold for less than their face value. A stock vote was ordered and re sulted for' the resolutions 1,457, against 3. A resolution was adopted authoriz ing the chairman to appoint three stockholders to assist the President and Directors in securing the loan contemplated by the resolution. The directors held a meeting a f ter the adjournment and re-elected all the present officers of the road. KOTICE.
