The Board adjourned to meet at the
call of the chairman.
Briefly Stated
The Wilmington Light Infantry should
carry into camp a larger percentage of
its muster-roll than any company in the
State Guard. Right here, within nine
miles ot the Encampment, what is there
to nrevent it? Nothing but the refusal
I of the employers of some of the mem
w
bers to grant them leave of absence.
The company will not be permitted
to enter the Encampment with less than
seventy-five per cent, of its active mem
bers. If they fail to go into camp they
will forfeit the annual State appropria
tion of $250.00.
It would be a disgrace to the city of
Wilmington for this gallant company
to be left at home during the Encamp
ment, and it might result in the dis
band ment of the company under the
laws of tne State. i
Are the people in Wilmington pre
pared for this ? "That is the question."

ENCAMPMENT NOTES.
A Busy Day Everything in Beadiness for
r the Troops Arrangement of Tenta The
i Parade Ground A Petersburg Com
j pany Coming, i -'
j The arrangements are steadily going
on under the supervision of Quarter
master General Olds, who has been
down there for the last week. Every
thing will be in readiness by 12 o'clock
tb-day with the exception of grounds
for the Virginia regiment, which are
being arranged by a special detachment
sent down by that regiment.
ARRANGEMENT OF TENTS. ..
A number of changes have been made
in the location of the tents and
regimental positions. By these changes
all the tents are placed in a semi-circle
which surrounds a very beautiful court,
giving a space for the refreshing and in
vigorating breezes from the Atlantic
which penetrate every nook and corner
of the camp. -
i THE PARADE GROUND -
is in excellent condition. Everything
which could possibly detract from it in
appearance or convenience, has been re
moved. The green carpet of Bermuda
grass makes it very fine for drilling, and
facing the ocean, the cooling sea-breeze
will add greatly to the comfort of the
men. '"
j FIRST TROOPS EXPECTED.
! The Charlotte' Chronicle says the
Hornet Nest Riflemen will leave there
Thursday night at 8.80 for Wrightsville,
and be joined at Maxton by the Maxton
Rifles. These will be the first com
panies to report at camp.
PETERSBURG GREYS.
The Petersburg Index-Appeal says:
"The Petersburg ; Greys, who have ac
cepted an invitation to go into encamp
ment with the military companies of
North Carolina at Wrightsville, expect
to carry about thirty-five men rank and
file. They will probably carry their
band."
THE SEVENTH DAY.
Beligions Services at Carolina Beach A
New and Popular Feature.
A happy movement inaugurated a
week or two ago by the summer resi
dents of Carolina Beach was brought to
a successful issue last Sunday, when re
ligious services were held at the Oceanic
Hotel. The congregation numbered
about one hundred. The services were
conducted by the Rev. Mr. Weaver, as
sistant rector of St. Tames' Episcopal
church, of Wilmington, who preached
AN ADMIRABLE SERMON,
taking for his text the first and second
verses of the second chapter of St.
John: "Marriage in Cana of Galilee."
His hearers were very attentive and
were much impressed by his earnest
ness. Notwithstanding the absence of
an organ (one will hereafter be pro
vided), MOST EXCELLENT SINGING
by a choir of ladies and gentlemen added
to the spiritual enjoyment of the occa
sion. Mr. James D. Smith, the well
known tenor, acted as Musical Director.
Taken altogether it was a day long to
be remembered; and so well pleased are
the residents with the result of the ini
tiatory meeting that services will be
held regularly every Sunday hereafter,
until the season closes, at the Oceanic
Hotel. These meetings will not be de
nominational in character, and ministers
of different churches will be invited to
conduct them.
Death of Mr. Mijan. Willis.
, Mr. Elijah Willis, one of the oldest
druggists in the State of North Caro
lina, died Sunday last and was buried
yesterday in Bellevue cemetery. The
services were conducted by Rev. W. S.
Creasy and the pall-bearers were Col.
E. D. Hall and Messrs. H. L. Fentress,
J. F. Rulfs, S. G. Hall, Fred Howland,
C. C. Covington, E. Everett andWm.
Niestlie.
Mr. Willis was 72 years of ace. He
was a native of Newbern, but had re
sided in Wilmington some thirty-five or
forty years. He remained here through
the yellow fever" epidemic in 1862 and
ministered faithfully to the wants of the
people.
Drowning Accident.
A fifteen year old colored boy named
Beatty Jennings ! was drowsed Sunday
morning about 10 o'clock in the river
near the foot of Harnett street, while
bathing. The body of the boy was re
covered and Coroner Walton held an
inquest at one o'clock, the jury finding
that the boy came to his death by acci
dental drowning. The witnesses were
two colored boys who testified that
Jennings undressed and jumped into
the water where it was very deep and
that he could not swim. The drowned
boy lived with his step-father on Har
nett street near Third. His parents are
dead. ,

COL. JONES AND SEVERAL OF HIS OF

They Went to Make Arrangements for
. the Begixnent's Encampment Greatly
Pleased With the Locality.
, Richmond Dispatch.
Col. Henry C. Jones, Captain Tennant
and Commissary Sergeant Moore left
Richmond Thursday for Wrightsville,
N. C for the purpose of inspecting the
ground upon which the First regiment
will camp while in the Old North State.
In speaking of the trip last night Col.
Jones said to a Dispatch reporter:
"We left Richmond on the fast mail
Thursday afternoon and reached Wil
mington at 10 o'clock. We were met
at the depot by Colonel W, C. Jones,
commanding the Second regiment,
North Carolina State Guard, and Capt.
W. R. Kenan, of Company C of the
same regiment. We spent the night at
Wilmington and took the morning train
for Wrightsville, nine miles distant,
where we met Colonel Frederick A.
Olds, quartermaster-general and chief
of ordnance. He was busily engaged in
pitching the tents for the use of the
North Carolina brigade. We found
Colonel Olds a most courteous and
obliging officer, thoroughly posted in all
of the details pertaining to the special
work which he had in charge. He had
already in place the kitchen for the use
of the First regiment. It Is supplied
with stoves and cooking utensils. The
floors for tents are also ready. We
found that Captain E. W. Manning had
been appointed brigade sutler and the
contract had been made with him to
furnish all supplies for the commissary
service at prices wnich were in every
way satisfactory.
EVERYTHING ARRANGED.
"In fact, we found every arrangement
necessary had been made, so that we
can go right into camp and by giving
tne necessary orders our wants will be
supplied.
"la the afternoon Colonel Jones took
us under his care and showed us all of
the surrounding places such as the
Island Beach, or Hammocks, as it is
sometimes called, which is immediately
in front of Wrightsville and about half
way across the Sound. On this island
is a large hotel, a theatre, a dancing pa
vilion and a beautiful ground for the
accommodation of visitors. Jus) beyond
the Hammocks is a strip oi land on
which are many cottages, the club
house of the Casolina Yacht Club, pa
vilions, and restaurants. This is called
Ocean View, and a grand view of the
ocean it is. A magnificent surf was
running all day. There is every accom
modation for pleasure and comfort.
A HOG-FISH SUPPER.
"We returned to Wrightsville and
took supper with Colonel Olds and
Captain . Manning. The ' principal dish
served was pig-fish, or as we call it in
Virginia, hog-nsh. Colonel Olds, who
is most pleasant company, informed us
that he had heard the pig-fish granting
all the afternoon from way over the bar.
If Our trip is an index of the reception
wiich will be accorded our troops: and
those who may accompany us,
aSS
Fowle will long be remembered
officers and men of the First regiment
as marking one of the bright periods in
our service.
"Our train will run through without
change to Wrightsville and will leave
Richmond at 9 o'clock on next Saturday
night."
