On last Wednesday morning we boarded an excursion train in Fayette ville starting for Goldsboro. It was run by Evans’ chapel, Zion's church, and managed by Rev. J. M. Hill. Seven coaches and a refreshment car were provided, but before the train left Fayetteville, there were two and three persons on nearly every seat, and scores standing in the aisles, and thus it was packed going and return ing. We left Fayetteville at 11 o’clock. We were in company with a number of ladies and gentlemen conducted to the residence of Prof. E. E. Smith, and were met by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Col. G. T. Wassom. Mrs. Wassom is one of the best educated and most ex perienced teachers in the South, and any city would do well to secure her services. Our stay in the little east ern city was very pleasant, and the same is said by all who went —every- body had a good time. Among the young ladies we had the pleasure of meeting were Misses Ilill, Mattocks and Smith. Mr. W. G. Pearson, of Durham, and W. L. Person, of Tar boro, were in the city. Col. Wassom was engaged in court, which was then in session. Bishop Hood was there visiting the State assembly of the Eastern Star. A visit to the insane asylum was very interesting. We would not at tempt a description. There is a large farm connected with the institution, and some of the patients work on it. Dr. J. D. Roberts is in charge of the institution, and reports 180 patients. His reports will be sent to any person who will write for them. The build ing is three stories, and 355x40 feet. About 35 persons are run on the pay roll. The cost of the building was about §BO,OOO. The annual appro priation by the State is §35,000. Goldsboro is a very nice little city, on the Atlantic Coast Line. The peo ple seem very hospitable, industrious and economical. There was no serious disturbance or accident on the excur sion, yet the behavior of a certain set of young men and women was not what should be expected of them. It was a financial success. Elder Hill succeeds at whatever he undertakes. Fayetteville Totes ami Personals. Farmers are gathering their crops, and indications show that money will be plentiful fur the coming year. The fields arc white with cotton, and in every direction we see hands with bucket and basket of lunch making their way to the wide spread fields. Melons are not so plentiful now, but grapes, grapes, delicious fruit, laden our market now. The protracted meetings at Evans* chapel, Zion, have closed. Rev. Mr. Manual, of Raleigh, X. C., spent several days in our town, the guest of Rev. J. M. Hill. Mr. Man ual is a West Indian. Mrs. T. C. Whitfield left on Thurs day evening for Wilmington, her for mer home, to visit her mother and friends Quite sickly in town at this time— several cases of fever, while diptheria is somewhat abated. Mrs. Ada A. Jackson left for her home on Saturday, after spending several weeks at her old home. Miss_Carric Lucas, of Wilmington, X. C., left for her home last Wednes day. Ho! for another grand excursion to Goldsboro on the 21st. Let every body go that can. Prof. J. F. K. Simpson will leave on Friday of this week to join the gay society of .Salisbury. We loathe to part with him, but must. May suc cess and happiness crown his pathway in his new field of labor. One of the graduates of the class of ’BG contemplates entering Livingstone College this year. The normal and graded schools will reopen on the 19th inst. Messrs. Andrew and Peter Hogans, James and Andrew McSwain, returned home last Friday night. These young men have been to Xew York for sev eral years, and from their looks show that they are doing well. The friends and relatives welcomed them cordially to their old home once again. Mr. C. B. Cain has gone to New York to join his brother, Mr. F. M. Cain. Miss Libbie Leary is at home, and looking well, from her mountain visit. Marriage bells are ringing far and near. Who next? Answer conies back, “Wait and sec.” MARRIED. Will iams—Headen. —On Thursday, Ist inst., Mr. Waddell Williams to Miss Fannie Headen, at Evans’ chapel —Rev. J. M. Hill, officiating. McNeill—Mendenhall.—On Wed nesday morning, the 14th, at nine o’clock. Mr. W. 11. McNeill, of Fay etteville, to Miss Isabella Mendenhall, of Greensboro, N. C. A very pleasant social was given at Mr. Edwin Perry’s on Thursday even ing, the 4th, complimentary to the visitors. The ladies and gentlemen of C. F. Lodge gave an entertainment at their hall on Monday night, which proved quite a success financially. It is rumored that an excursion will run from here to Charlotte soon. If true we anticipate a good time. The happy bridal couple arrived Wednesday afternoon, attended by the groomsmen and the bridesmaids.— They all looked jovial. May their paths be decked with flowers of the richest hue. Miss Frankie E. Ellsworth, of Montgomery, Ala., is in town, the guest of Mrs. G. C. Scurlock. This is her first visit in this section of the country, and we hope deep impres sions will be made to induce her to remain some time. Miss Frankie is a relative of Mr. G. C. Scurlock. Rev. 11. C. Phillips, of Wilson, N. C.. was in town a few days ago. The many friends of Mrs. W. J. Moore were more than pleased to wel come her to her old home again. Her stay was quite short, but we hope to have her come again soon. The different schools will open soon and a thought rises before us, if we will see the many dear faces we parted, with again. DIED. On Tuesday morning, the 13th, Robbie Nelson, the son of Robert and Emily Nelson, departed this life after an illness of 12 or 13 days, and was buried on the 14th. M iss Charlotte Blackman, daughter of Mrs. Winnie Blackman, died Wed nesday night after several weeks of severe illness. She was a student of the State colored normal school, and a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. The funeral took place on the 15th. •‘Death lies on her like an untimely frost Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.” This is the blessed season in which the divine goodness lavishes unon us fruits of every kind in plentiful abun dance. ‘The charms of summer are succeeded by solid enjoyments deli cious fruits replace the faded flowers. The mellow apple, whose golden bril liancy is heightened by the rich streaks of purple, weigh down the branch which it bears. Though some of us have been destitute of that one rich luxury, still we speak of it, as it is one of our gifts during this month. The luscious pears and plums, whose juice is sweeter than honey, display their beauty and invite us to pluck them. Ilow inexcusable and selfish are those people who, at the sight of all these blessings, which God bestows upon them, never have any good thoughts arise in their souls, nor en deavor to sanctify the pleasures of autumn by reflecting on the kindness of their God. How wisely has the Creator distributed fruits in the dis- j ferent seasons of the year ! Though | summer and the fall are generally the times when nature produces these rich gifts, with the assistance of art we can obtain them both in spriug and in winter, and our tables may thus be provided with fruit all the year round. As early as the month of Juno nature produces of herself, unaided by art, raspberries, cherries, and other ber ries. July furnishes us with peaches, j apricots, etc.; in August they appear in the most lavish profusion ; figs, late j cherries, and a variety of delicious I pears. September—this month gives i us grapes, winter pears and apples, j Though birds and insects are continu ally feeding upon them, we have yet a sufficient quantity left for use. May it be our fondest delight and most pleasing duty to devote ourselves to the service of so kind a Father. How great will our happiness be if we give ourselves up to him with full purpose of heart.
