caught on lire yesterday afternoon,
about 2 o'clock. It caught somehow
from a defective tluo and burned a

sent out from Box 35, and the fire
department turned out but before
they got there the neighbors had
put out the fire. The Atlantic hose

We were blessed yesterday with a
bright, beautiful and balmy day,the
first really pretty day we have had
this season, and as a consequence
there were crowds of worshippers at
all of the churches. The Gatholic,
Episcopal and Lutheran churches
were all beautifully decorated with
evergreens and (lowers and the ser
vices were beautiful and impressive.
In the afternoon there were church
services for the children iu nearly
all of the churches of these denomi
nations and so great was the attend
ance that in some instances many
persons were compelled to stand.
We would be glad to publish full
reports of the services in all of the
churches but the space at our.com

A Vlftlt to Mr. Gibson JHine Farm.
A gentlema!! who sometimes trav
els considerably writes us, in a let
ter which is dated at Newbern, rela
tive to a visit he recently paid to the
farm of Mr. Gibson James iu Holly
Shelter township, Pender county.
He says:
In traveling through Eastern
North Carolina it is gratifying to
note the improvement here and
there noticeable amid the general
despondency of the Agricultural
masses.
At Mr. Gibson James' place, near
Onslow, the traveler is struck with
the apiearance of system, thrift and
prosjerity at his home. Refreshed
at his hospitable table, a walk to his
dairy,throngh which Hows a stream
of ateri nearly ice cold, from a
subterranean stream, discharging
over fortygallons per minutearouud
his milk cans, an examination of a
cunning device, operated by the
same water power, by which his
churning is done iu the dairy, a
plunge into his luxurious bath tub
connected with the same building
and -one feels sure that in North
Carolina homes can be made as
cheerful and as happv as at
any place on the face of the
globe. But after leaving the "but
tenullk and the bath'' a stroll
through his flocks of throughbred
Cots wolds and Jerseys, a walk

strument known in this
have a worthy exponent.
No matter how perfect an organi
zation may be, orjiow well it may
perform, a purely instrumental
concert (as was the case with
Thomas' Concert some years agoj)
is tiresome.
These concerts will be vocal and
instrumental, and are not only in
tended for the musicians, but for
the masses as well. Gilmore has
been before the public so long, that
he knos exactly what is needed
to please all.-
There is no doubt that Wilming
ton, which has so many lovers of
music, will look forward to this
great event with much pleasure, for
to hear such a concert is a privilege
which may never again be extended
to our citizens.
We have no doubt that the house
will be packed on this great occas-
