WILMINGTON, N. C,
The Governor's visit. j
Our report closed yesterday just j
at the time when the banquet at the
Hummocks was on. Oar reporter was
compelled to leave there so as to get
in yesterday's issue what had been
done up to that time. The repast
was a delightful one. Col. W. C.
Jones presided and on taking his
seat proposed the following initia
tory toast:
"Our Governor" Surely uiy lines
fall iu pleasant places, and my friends
ever kind to me, for at their hands I
have the honor to preside at this
lunch which is graced with so much
beauty and with talent that would
reflect credit upon any occasion.
This is an event which I shall ever
remember with pleasure one which,
I think, marks an epoch in the his
tory of Wilmington one of which
our citizens are very proud, and for
this memorable day we are indebt
ed to one whom we are all proud to
honor one who has been a true
friend to us in the hour of need, and
this, ladies and gentlemen, is no
other than our worthy Governor,
the Hon. Daniel G. Powle.
The Governor responded briefly
and stated in the course of his re
marks that it was a definitely set
tled fact that the encampment would
be permanently located at Wrights
ville but that the exact spot had
not yet been fully determined upon.
Hon. Charles M. Stedman there
upon arose and presented the Gov
ernor, on behalf of the citizens of
Wilmington, -with a deed for the
ground, saying as he did so;
GOVKRNOH FOWLEJ By the re
quest and in accordance with the
wishes of the citizens of Wilming
ton, I present to you a deed for the
site of the permanent encampment
of the State Guard. I should utter
ly fail to reflect their views, did I
not express to you the appreciation
of the people of the lower Cape Fear

preciatea its wants. They are re
joiced that you have seconded the
wishes of the Guard ;and made it
possible for them to annually come
to us by the sea side. For verily it
may be said that the people of Wil
mington and our State Guard have
a mutual love, each for the other.
We know that they are glad to be
with us, and assuredly nowhere else
will they find a more cordial or sin
cere welcome. You have most
generously aided them and by
your personal and official in
fluence made their continued or
ganization a certainty. Aside
from any benefit which may
accrue to our city, aside from any
prominence the location of this site
may give to Wrigntsville Sound, It
would have afforded the people of
Wilmington the same heartfelt
pleasure to have greeted the gaN
lant boys each summer. Every
breeze from the ocean which kisses
our shore shall bear upon its breath
the sentiments of our hearts a glad
welcome to them all. To you, Sir,
whose duty it will be as Commander
in Chief to visit the Encampment,
will always be rendered an honest
and loyal friendship., And this site
will remain a testimonial of your
good will to our people, which shall
not be forgotten by them or their
children. For years to come, I trust,
they shall visit the spot you have
chosen, that they may extend their
hospitality anil congratulations to a
Guard whose efficiecy, morality and
manhood W'll be typical of the
honor and fair name of North Caro
lina, whether amid the tumult of
war or the happier scenes of peace."
After the applause which greeted
Maj. Stedman s remarks, had subsid
ed, Governor Fowle accepted the
deed in behalf of the State and in a
short extemporaneous address spoke
most eloquently and feelingly. He al
luded to the State Guard in terms
which fired every soldier's heart and
his tribute to Wilmington and the
hospitality of its citizens was most
unique and touching.
A toast was then given to the Uni
ted States, which was responded to
by Capt, W. H. Bixby. Capt. Cam
eron then proposed the health 'of
Coi. Strange and Col. Jones, for the
material aid rendered by them. 1$

There was nothing left undone by
the officials of the road to make
everything pass off pleasantly.
At night there was a banquet at

tended, notwithstanding the very

Dr. Bobbin Has Improved.
The many friends here of Rev. Dr.
Bobbitt will be rejoiced to learn
that his condition has materially
improved. On Wednesday he left
Rockingham for the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Ashcraft, in Winston.

The Wfcldon News says that Brig
adier General W. H. Anthony will
in May begin the official tour of in
spection of the State Guard during
which he will examine all the coins
missioned officers on tactics and
regulations. These examinations
have not been heretofore required
and the consequence is there has
been no relief from incompetent of
ficers. General Anthony will cer
tainly see that the officers are fully
competent and efficient, and will eng
force this wise provision of the law.

Death of Mr. Geo. K. French.
It is with great regret that we
announce to-day the death of our
venerable fellow-citizen, Mr. George
R. French. He died at his residence
in this city, at half -past Q o'clock
this morning.
Mr. French was a native of Fall
River, Mass. He came to this city
in the year 1822, and has resided
here ever since. He was in the 88th
year of his age, having celebrated
his 87th anniversary on the 24th of
last January. He was the oldest
merchant in this city and probably
the oldest in the State. He founded
the large shoe bouse whioh bears
his name and which stands to-day a
proud monument to his business in
tegrity and sagacity. There is
no stain upon his long and hon
orable life. He was upright in all
of his dealings with his fellow-men
and one of those sincere, modest
Christians who delight in doing
good, but who do not publish their
deeds upon the housetops. His
charities were many and munificent
and the poor of this city have cause
to regret the loss of a compassion
ate and kind benefactor.
The funeral services will take
place Sunday after-noon at 3:30
o'clock at e First Baptist Church,
and the interment wiU be in Oak
dale. -Pete' Baker.
"Pete" Baker will appear
at the
Opera House next Monday night in
