. The second annual fair of the
jNorth Carolina Fish. Ojster, Game
and Industrial Association will be
j held at Newbern, beginning on the
19th of. February, next and contin
uing until the 22nd of the same
month. While, as its name indi
cates, it is intended that a diversity
of industries shall be represented at
the fair, the greatest prominence in
the exhibition will be given to the
fish and oysters, with, which the
waters of Eastern JNorth Carolina
abound. It is a. grand enterprise,
well worthy the public spirit prompt
ing it, and will add much to the
efforts now being made to develop
the natural wealth of the. State. It
will undoubtedly prove an influence
for good to our people, especially to
those of that part of the State. We
hope the enterprise will prove a
most complete success, as it is to be
through such channels that our good
old State is to become better known
and more highly appreciated by the
outside world. Let us all let politics
severely alone for the next four
years while we devote all our ener
gies to the development of our nat
ural internal wealth, and at the ex
piration of that time we .shall un
doubtedly find ourselves a wealthier'
happier and much wiser people.

i l. i-i si i." - . zl i ..j.
and cordially recommends its use to
all. ' , - j.
Care should be taken not to use it
too freely as it requires only a little
or half astnueh as lard. It is there
fore a great;saving, selling at retail
cheaper than the bestl leaf lard and
does double the .work. Samples can
be had, free pfMiiy of ojir grocers.
- City Court.
There was a large crowd assem
bled at the City Conrt this morning
and a docket that showed up , eight
cases, which were disposed of asfol
ows: '
John White, larceny, bound over

in the sum of $200 justified bond.
Alex Richardson, disorderly con
duct, continued.

Ed Spencer and Sarah McNeal
affray, bound over to the next term
of Criminal Court in the sum of $50,
justified bond. v
There were two young men charg
ed with disorderly conduct, whose
name we surpress by request, judg
ment was suspended upon the pay
ment of costs in their cases.
Three tramps were escorted to the
city limits with a warning not to re.
turn.
A Good Movement.
The meeting of our citizens and
business men at the Ortonlast night,
the call for which Ave announced in
our yesterday's issue, was well at
tended. It was called to order by
Mr. J. M. Forshee, who 'requested
Mr. John D. Bellamy, Jr., to take
the chair and Mr. W. E. Worth was
made secretary.
Mr. Forshee then stated the object
of the meeting to be to consider and
discuss a plan for the formation of
an organization whose object should
be the improvement and better de
velopment of "the possibilities of
Wilmington and the surest way ol
inducing capitalists to locate here.
Remarks pertinent to the subject
were made by a number of the gen
tlemen present, and a committee,
consisting of Messrs. J. M. Forshee,
Oscar Pearsall, J. A. Bouitz, H. A.
Burr, N. Jacobi, W. R. Barksdale,
and W. E. Worth, was appointed to
draft a suitable constitution and
by-laws, and report at a subsequent
meeting which will be held at the
City Court room at 8 o'clock next
Monday night. The meeting last
night wras characterized by great in"
terest and earnestness of purpose.
It was a step in the right "direction
and if wise and judicious counsels
prevail the result will be greatly to
the advantage of this city.
Came to Grief. .
A well dressed young man who
had been stopping at the: Commer

days, was arrested Saturday, night
by direction of the Chief of Police,
charged with passing a forged

passed under the name of David L.
Barnes and represented himself to
be a private detective of Washing

hotel here as Allen B. Custer, but

admitted his identity,-saying that
he endorsed the check to accommo
