On light sandy lands and poorly culti vated crops have suffered seriously, while those well cultivated have not fared so bad, but the lice are proving destructive, with rare exceptions, on all cotton where the land is in a high state of cultivation. Wilson Mirror : Col. Billie Pope, the remarkable dwarf, who was 37 years old, and who weighed only 42 pounds, and stood about two feet ten inches high, died at his home in Nash county, on Saturday last. He could have made a fortune had he traveled in a circus, bu he was reserved in manner, and shrank from public gaze, and so he died poor and com paratively unknown.

F. Simpson cut his son Liston Simpson in a very dangerous manner, very nearly disemboweling him. There appears to be ill feeling between the two on account of some family affairs, which resulted as above. Yesterday the wounded man was walking about, feebly, in opposition to his physician's orders, who declare his imprudence will result fatally. Clinton Caucasian : 1 Recently Mr. R. B.

I The Crescent's silvery rays and the starlight glow of Tuesday evening were as welcome as the flowers that bloom in the Spring.

S. S.; T. H. Bain, L. S. S.; B. C. Fields, 0. G.; S. B. Parker, I. G. We would say to our merchants and business men: Don't impose upon Solicitor Galloway the unpleasant duty of prosecuting you for failure to list your Schedule B. taxes. The time allotted for such listing is the first ten days m January and July of each year. This is the 8th and a large number have failed to comply. Save the Solicitor trouble and yourself ex pense by attending to the matter at once. And as you attend to it impress upon your mind the importance of domg what you can to have the un- just'purchase tar repealed by the next Legislature. A young gentleman of this city nar rowly escaped being run over, on Tuesday last, bv an engine going at a high rate of speed over the Wilming ton & Weldon track. Has the ordin ance against the fast running of trains through the city been repealed? If not, are the authorities powerless to enforce it? Or, if they have the power, do the authorities "ever make any exertions to ptvnish the violators? We would like to know how it is. Will some one furnish us the information? It is certain that the habitual practice of running trains through the city at a rapid rate is a, nuisance and a danger and ought to be stopped. THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN. Large Audience, and Creditable Performance. It was not our pleasure to attend the rendition of Esther, by home talent, at the Opera House, Tuesday evening, but we learn that the efforts of the ladies were repaid by the presence of a large and appreciative audience and that the performance was quite credit able. The entertainment was given for the benefit of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches of this city. The personations, were as follows : Esther, the Queen, Mrs. Arnold Borden. - Ahasuerus, King of Persia and Media, Mr. W. G. Burkhead. , Haman, Overseer of the Realm, Mr. Simon Einstein. Zeresh, Hainan's Wife, Miss Mary Minnick. Mordecai, Mr. d. Porter. Prophetess, Miss Nellie Waddell. Queen's First Maid of Honor, Miss Nellie Waddell. Accompanist, Miss M. W. Dewey. Scribe, Mr. C. H. Stansell. Cornetist, Jeff. D. Portis. In addition to these there was quite a full chorus of good voices. There is a desire to have Esther repeated at an early day and we think the ladies will find it profitable to accede to the re quest. NEW BERNE DISTRICT. Third Quarterly Meetings.

What the People Say About , This Thriving Institution. , The success and popularity of the Davis School is most gratifying. Un der the able and progressive manage ment of its energetic and talented founder, Col. A. C. Davis, the 'school has grown steadily in capacity and standard of excellence nntil to-day it stands in the very front rank of our educational institutions. - The editor of the Raleigh State Chronicle says : "Passing through La Grange a few days ago I noted the buildings of Da vis School j and was a few - days later speaking at the dinner table to a party of gentlemen about what an excellent school Col. Davis had established and what wonderful success has attended his efforts efforts that merited suc cess. One of the-gentlemen, a grad uate of West Point, saidt "I regard it by far the best school for boys in the State. I have been through most every school in North Carolina and have been critical in my examination of military schools, and the best evi dence that I think that the Davis School is the best is that when my boys are old enough I shall send them there." There were several gentle men present and 30 complimentary were they in their allusion to Davis School that I thought to myself , Faith I'll print it." DUPLIN NEWS AND NOTES. Warsaw had the heaviest rain the night of the 5th inst. that has fallen in the memory of the oldest citizen. Miss Mary Lou Brown is home after an absence of several weeks. Mr. Jno. W. Register, of Mt. Olive, at one time a pupil of the Warsaw High School, was in town last week. John is a favorite with our people, and they will ever be glad to see him. Whpm did he strike! A young law yer from a neighboring county was walking the streets of Warsaw recent ly, when a dry goods clerk asked : 44 Who is that fellow going along yon der?" Answer 4 4 A young lawyer from Clerk "Oh ! he ; walks so lazy I thought that he was a doctor." Mr. Ellsworth, of Duplin Koads, who is in the employ of the W. & W. R. R., is at Warsaw with . a force of hands extending the railroad switch. When complete, the side track will hold seventy-five cars. r Mr. Walter E. Faison, of Clinton, passed through Warsaw Sunday last on his way to Washington City. Mr. Faison has passed a civil service ex amination and secured an appoint ment in the State Department. Mr. ; Jas. K. Smith, taxrhster, has informed us that the taxable property of Warsaw Township, as listed recent ly, is several thousand dollars in ex cess of last year's valuation, and we learn that this is true of other town ships in the county. Mr. L. W. Moore, a son of Mr. Levi Moore, left Duplin last October and went to Florida. After a sojourn of of nine months in that State, Mr. Moore has returned to North Carolina. The attractions of Florida are great, yet, 4 'There is no place like home." We are ever glad to welcome the boys when they return. On the morning of the 2nd inst. Mrs. Folly Phillips, wife of Thomas Phil lips, Sr., departed this life. Mrs. Phil lips was in her 81st year, had been a member of the Missionary Baptist Church 53 years, had been twice mar- nea, ana naa uvea wun ner iasi nus band 35 years. Mrs. Phillips was a faithful, loving wife, a kind and affec tionate mother, a pure hearted noble Christian. None knew her but to re spect her, and the large concourse that followed her remains to the fam ily burying ground gave evidence of the sorrow felt at her loss to her fam ily, the community and the church. We were at Kenansville Monday, the 5th inst. The 1st Monday is al ways a big day at Kenansville ; the village has the appearance of life. The county commissioners appointed a committee to examine the Treas urer's books ; after a careful investi gation the finance committee reported the books in good order and the cash on hand. We predict that Mr. Wells will be renominated by acclamation. The Board of Education began itsr second year on Monday; during its 1st year it was in session only six days, and yet none of the school interests were neglected. We heard but one sentiment relative to the work of the Judicial Convention. All are pleased with the nominations. While on pol itics allow us to say that Mr. B. F. Grady is not and will not be a candi date for the Legislature (he means it.) Dr. Moore seems to be the choice for the Senate. In portions of Limestone Township the crops have been drowned ; in other Earts of the country the rains have een favorable, save in Warsaw town ship. In lower Duplin the crops are better than they have been since '82. In our last letter it was our painful duty to chronicle the destruction of the Presbyterian church at Warsaw. The storm left the building standing and many entertained hopes that the house might be restored to its former position at a nominal cost but experts, after a thorough investigation, say that it will be necessary to take the building down and begin again. We know every step that has been taken for the construction of that house, the efforts that have been put forth and the sacrifices that have been made and we earnestly hope that friends will aid them m their efforts to rebuild. A congregation with less heroism would have faltered under this in creased weight but not so' with the Presbyterians of Warsaw. Three days after the destruction of their temple, they met under the shadow of the ruins and determined, God helping them, to rebuild. They have counted the cost, they know the sacrifices and trials that await them and yet they Eush " forward. Will not those who ave been blest come to the rescue? The Presbyterian church at Kenans ville has given forty dollars, will not others do likewise an not wait to be called on? rfob printing "done in good style and at lowest rates at tne messenger Press Rooms. , i " Magistrates requiring blanks -will find a full supply at the Messenger office.

Sr. He died'on the 21st of June at the age of 63 years 10 months and 22 days. The community loses one of Its very best citizens, a good neighbor, a kind friend, and an indulgent parent. He was one of nature s noblemen, a farmer by profession, bending all of the energies of his body and mind to the tilling of the soil. desDisin&r all shams in business, and making and honett ef- rort to provide tor tnose dependent upon nlm, a living, in which every cent should be honest ly obtained. He was sick for a long time be fore death came, and bore his sickness with great patience, looking calmly to the time when he should cross over the river and rest under the trees. He leaves a wife and two sons to mourn his loss. b. MARKET REPORTS. New York, July 6. Cotton steady mid dlinsr uplands 9 7-16.

V W. T. GARDNER, ' June 23, '86-sw3t Register of Deeds. Teachers' Institutes. There will be an Institute of one week for colored teachers in the Court House in Kenansville beginning July 19, one for white teachers in the same place begin ning on July 26 and continuing one week. The regular examination on the 8th of July will be held, but certificates will be withheld, If desired, so as to give appli cants the benefit of any increased profi ciency which they may manifest during the progress of the Institute. I have not yet arranged the details of the work; but no effort will be spared to make it profitable to the teachers of the county and to those proposing to teach. All such are requested to come, and to bring copies of the text books prescribed by the State Board of Eduction together with Maury's Physical Geography. Pro gress we need and progress we must have. The peoples' money ought not to be given ior inefficient work in the schoolroom, and a teacher who stands tb-day just where he did two or three years ago should not be employed to train the minds of our children. - He is unfit, and I think it is time to begin the process of elimina tion. ? i f 4.
