Master Walter Bonitz will print 7 a larger edition of 1 he Foot Light (Opera House programme) for the Michael Strogoff entertainment, for gratis distribution, andor use as pro gramme during the entertainment.

Ajtelegram re , "eived from Kinston yesterday sta ted that his majority inj that county was 90, while the majority against him in this county is 154, which elects Mr. Arthur by G4.; aThis is greatly to be deplored, as there is no truer nor bet ter man in Green county or North Carolina than .Cant.

We have seen Mr. Jos. Prevatt. and he is well pleased. His lot averaged 13 cents. He had some which fetched 21 cents, we believe. We hope it will prove satisfactory to all. Tobacco and sugar cane are being extensively cultivated in this county. While other farmers were giving their entire cotton crop to pay for the guano, Mr. J. Bennette residing near this town raised 425 bushels of potatoes on one acre of ground. They were not Ha mon potatoes but Norton yams and were raised without a pound of com- merciai lertinzers.

Don't forget this when you make your donation at the Banquet to-morrow evening. We are gratified to learn of im provement in the condition of little Frank, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dewey, who was quite seriously ill last week.

Secure your reserved seats. A special train is expected from New berne for the. occasion to return im mediately after the performance. Usual reduced rates over the W. & W. Railroad. The clouds that rolled up from the northwest Saturday night brought enough rain to lay the dust, and also brought enough chilled air to make a fellow's clothes feel considerably thinner than they did a few minutes before. Our townsman, E. A. Wright, Esq., we are pleased to announce, has through the influence of Col. W. J. Greene, been appointed to postal clerk's position between Washington and Wilmington, made vacant by the recent resignation ot Mr. J . Jti. Parks. In our Thursday's issue we uninten tionally gave credit to one of our en terprising firms for that which be longed to another of our enterprising firms. The beautiful and much ad mired stair rails, on exhibition at the F,air, were from the planing mills of K. Q'Berry & Co., in this city. Col. A. C. Davis' battalion of one hundred and sixty cadets made a fine appearance at the Fair grounds on Thursday. Their demeanor both on and off duty was creditable to them selves and to the excellent school rep resented by them. The cadets will attend the Fair at Fayetteville this week. The rice mills of Messrs. J. Strauss & Co., start to work this morning and these gentlemen are now prepared to pay the highest market prices for rice. The enterprise of this firm proved a great stimulus to rice culture in this section and we hope that they will be able to secure all the rice they want. Mr. Joseph Swindell, of Wash ington city, spent a few days in this city last week, and his many friends here were pleased to see him. Mr. Swindell fillls a position on the police force at the Washington capitol, but employs his spare hours in the study of medicine in the Washington Medi cal College. The Goldsboro Rifles came off first best in the target shooting match at the Fair Grounds last Thursday. The fol lowing members composed the team: Messrs. T. H. Bain, R. L. Burkhead, Jack Hill, R. A. Creech, C.F. Taylor. The Raleigh boys propose to have the T?;fl tonrn co un and eneraere in a match at an early day. rrxTw roii lacf wfifik was a success. a.a " - . Indeed, it was, as we predicted .it would be, tne most successim joi held by the Association. All of the expenses, including the premiums, will be paid promptly and in full, without borrowing a dollar, and with- i. i o ooocomonts on the stock. This we consider a very good show ing, especially when the stringency of the times are taken into account. ttt j v,of onv Fair in the btate this year except Raleigh, which had State aid. will make as favorable a . 8 3fE GQL-DSBQRQ MEggEN&EODAY, JSQYEj&BgR 8, r uaijikk neea tiot n r Rirn.ro o ru-inr rrr ing to the Michael Strogoft entertain ment.

MR. NATHAN O'BerRY. President of the Eastern Carolina Fair & Stock Association, Droved to be a President in fact as well as in name.

Saturday afternoon, about half- past two o'clock, a spark of fire from an engine got in among some cotton on the platform, near the W. and W. warehouse, and eleven bales were damaged before the fire could be ex tinguished. The chemical encrine was on hand promptly that is as promptly as it could be Dulled there bv the men. We thouerht that this enerine was to be provided with horses or mules for its transnortation to and rom fires. A decided shock of earthquake was experienced here Friday last at about IZ.Zi o'clock. It was the severest felt since the terrible night of August 31. No damage was done. At the school some of the children became so badly frightened that Prof. Alder man deemed it best to dismiss the school soon after the shock. The children were marched out in their usual good order. It is said that an other shock was felt on Sunday short- y before 1 o'clock, but not as severe as that of Friday. The Aiken (S. C.) Recorder says: The Rev. T. P. Hay, of the Aiken Presbyterian church, has accepted a call to the Presbyterian church at Goldsboro, N. C. Elsewhere we pun ish the resolutions called forth by his resignation, which breathe a spirit throughout ot sincere regret at the severance or ties wnicn nave existed lor eight long years between pastor ana congregation. Mr. riay is . -mm- t an earnest and able minister and is gen erally admired and respected by the citizens of our community. We re gret that he is going to leave us, but earnestly trust that it will be for his advantage, and that change of scene may gradually assauge the anguish of family bereavement, and restore him to health and vigorous useiulness. We feel sure that all will unite with us in best wishes for the health, hap piness and usefulness of this unas suming Christian gentleman and faithful minister of the gospel." THE RESULT IN WAYNE. Only Two of the Democratic Can didates Elected. We give elsewhere the vote of Wayne county. The Republicans were successful in electing their entire leg islative and county ticket, excepting Mr. John A. Bryan for the Senate, Mr. W. T. Gardner for Register, and John H. Edwards for County Treas urer. Mr. W. F. Kornegay was beat en by W. G. Broadhurst in the Sena torial contest, Lx-Gov. Brogden goes o the House of Representatiyes, and takes Dr. John B. Person, indepen dent, under his wings as his associate. Mr. John R. Smith has gained the goal of his political ambition. He is Sheriff of Wayne county. Mr. A. T. Grady, independent, remains another our years in the buperior Court Clerk's Ofiice, and Dr. Tom. Hill, a friend at our elbow says, has been 'conjured" out of the Coroner's of fice by R. L. Paschall. The result is a severe blow and in deed a calamity to this county. The defeat of Mr. Benj. F. Aycock by Mr. John R. Smith is especially regretted, and so is the fact that Mr. Kornegay is beaten by Broadhurst. With Mr. Smith in the Sheriff's office, there is hard work before the Democrats when efforts are made to redeem the county. And yet distressing as the result is, it is not surprising. The wonder is that with the little amount of interest taken by men who usually were among the leaders of the Democracy in the county, so much was accom plished. Prior to the county conven tion the party seemed thoroughly demoralized, and the Republicans on the other hand so hopeful that they anticipated a "walk-over" by a, decided majority. Many causes con tributed to produce apathy and dis satisfaction. Some of these were per sonal objections to candidates, others were produced by local causes aid side issues, chiefly prohibition and the no-fence questions. An analysis of the vote shows this. Our Democratic friends allowed themselyes to be misled by vhat seemed inactivity on the part of Re publican leaders and the negro masses. Too many Democrats stayed at home, while the negroes voted pretty solid. They always do, regardless of who their candidates are. They would vote for "a yellow dog" as cheerfully as they would for the best ot their leaders. They don't scratch. Indeed, thAv don't know how to scratch, and right here it would be well for our Democratic friends to learn a lesson. Never did the negroes vote more sol idly in Wayne county than they ' did on Tuesday. The lash had been as effectualy applied as it used to be in the days of the Union Leagues. The result serves notice upon the Demo crats of Wayne that if they expect to defeat Republicanism in the county they must become united and ignore side issues and stop scratching, oth erwise the party may as well hang its harp on the we. ping willow tree. Let us trust that the Democracy of Wavne mav Drofit from the result. The party has survived many defeats which would have been fatal to any other political organization, and let stimulate to erater exertion and har- monize the party for the future.

The great historic play, known as " Michael Strogoff,' will be put UDon the boards on Thursday next by the original and only company. In se curing so large and excellent an or ganization, the management of the Opera House found it necessary to offer them special inducements, which we feel quite sure will be appreciated. The company numbers about 28 or 30 people, including a large corns of handsome ladies, and everywhere " Michael Strogoff" is greeted by im mense audiences. They played in Charleston on Tuesday of last week, and the News and Courier says of them: " The long-expected and pleasantly anticipated 4 Michael Strogoff" was playe l last night at the Academy of Music before the larerest house that has assembled there this season. The play is largely spectacular, but its dramatic features are those which appeal most strongly to the sympathy and delight of the spectators. It is immeasurably superior in that respect to 'Zo-Zo,' the 'Devil's Auction,' and other plays with which the Charleston public are familiar, and in which the most attenuated ghost of a plot is kept together merely by the effect of scenic painting and other illegitimate accessories. 4 Michal Strogoff ' is, therefore, an exceptional excellent spectacular drama by reason of its having a leading motive that is never lost sight of, even in its most gorg eous settings. The plot, which is fa miliar to all readers of the equally facile and fascinating Jules Verne, needs no detailed description. It may be said, however, that tne dramatiza tion vividly recalls all the romantic and miraculous machinery which the author employed in the construction of his entertaining story. " To say that the audience were de lighted, but half expresses the thor ough appreciation with which its manifold strong points were received. It fairly captured the house from the mountain to the ground floor, and was certainly the most unanimously and vociferously applauded performance that has been given here for many a long day- The plot bristles with swords, and reverberates with bombs, Eistols, muskets and the tread of war orses ; the festive knout is there and the scenery is equally barbaric and gorgeous, and realistic. It is a per formance that is well worth seeing. 44The central figure of the play is, of course, 4 Michael Strogoff,' which part is performed by Mr. J. flay Cas sar. His role consists principally in the utterance of grandly patriotic and moral sentiments, and the exhibition of a love for duty, his mother, his country and 4 Nadia Fedor.' This last character, which is a sweet and charming creation, was very sympa thetically and naturally played by Miss Florine Arnold. The 4 Marfa Strogoff' of Miss'Cecile Rush was ex cellently done, aad was repeatedly and deservedly applauded. 44 The 'Cornelius OlBrien' and 4 Philip Philpot,' newspaper war cor respondents, were played by Messrs. E. A. Locke and Punch Robertson, respectively. They make up the fun of the performance, and there is a great deal of it. The purely spectac ular parts are excellent. The special ballet divertisement by Signorina Teresina Gossi was especially spec tacular. The Ronaldo contortionists are very clever people, and they were whooped up' accordingly." The Goldsboro Music House. This excellent establishment of which Mr. A M. Hanff is the proprietor, handles instruments of excellent reputation Prof. H. F. Gruendler, the musical director of the Patti Rosa Company, testifies thus Goldsboro, N. C, Nov. 4, 1S86. Mr. A M. Hanff Goldsboro, N. C.
