Are you going to the Newbern Fair . rr 1 You ouatt to by all jneans. j March is annicd from Mars, the Cod of War. and wa formerly the j rst month. I Our city population continues to lucrease, which is a healthy sign c-f its future prosperity. f Everything was quiet in police tircles last Monday. The mayor as sures us that the city h now very or derly. Nearly every important cotton mar Vet iu this State have cotton com presses, and it strikes us one would ay handsomely in this city. I ir A. B. Freernnn is now hating a Very ice tw story frame building erected on the corners of William and Mulberry Streets the old "gunsmith' Biker lot. ? I No iv is ths time to be careful about Jrea. A little attention to stove flues and chimneys, now, before the March Winds set in, may prevent a serious conflagration, I The shelves of our merchants are inning to fill up with Spring-goods of every description, and ia a, few days consult the advertising columns of the liEADLiGHT, to find out what they got. I The County Commissioners met in regular meeting last Moday. Owing io tho inclen.OQcy cf the weather, the iisu.il large crowd of eountry people was ot present.

I The Sialeigh Evening Visitor it out :n a new dress, and is indeed a beau tiful paper. The Visitor is one of the inot prosperous papers in Raleigh, and an influential and able factor in the affairs.of Sta immediate territory. Bros. Brown and Utley have oar best wishes for .its continued success. 117" Our frienflu will please do us the kindness to furnish us any news that may occur uch things as they think would be interesting to the pub- 1'c. We hope o ibe able to make Thk JIkadlisht a first-class paper in every "way, and .respaefcfrfly ask tke eitizens 'of Gohkboro aird surrounding country , to aid us. Mr. fE. Lieberman of Raleigh, the jpolite and efficient State agent of that excellent Life Insurance Company the "Penn Mutual," of Philadelphia, as in the city, and we are glad to learu iuieets with abundaut success. There asnotaafer company as the "Penn Mutual," if we should judge from its fortieth -annual report. The quarterly report of our worthy bounty Treasurer, Mr. J. H. Edwards itfor the quarter ending Feb. 29th, shows that he had then in hand, due the school, $8,212,63. We are glad to see this healthy report. The rising generation must be educated io the ordinary branches of English, and this can be done without the aid of the Blair Bill. Whenever we commence soliciting any one to subscribe for the Head light, and if there be one of our old subscribers standing in hearing dis . tance, near by, he invariably helps us by speaking a good word fcr the paper, that bis family highly appreciates it, that he himself delights in its contents, aad then, by these kind words, he aids us in getting the subscriber. Of 7 course all this is highly appreciated, i and we hardly ever miss to enter the name upon our list. We see the name of our friend, of ; Grecae county, Capt. W. A. Dardea mentioned in connection with the democratic nominations to be made at the State Convention, May 30tk, for the office cf State Auditor. We wonld be highly gratified to see him nomi- nated. He is one of the ablest Demo cratic speakers in this section, and . would be a "number one" selection for . our party to make. He would be an honor to our ticket, and would add . much strength to it all over Eastern . North Caroliua. We think our section is entitled to recognition by the Demo cratic .arty cf lbs ?tatc. Mrs. R. B. Proctor, of Durham, af ter spending a few pleasent days ith her parent Mr. and Mis. Capt. W. T. Gardner, returned to her home on Tuesday. President Cleveland has got tlie Republican leaders on the wing, by his manly and statesmanlike course siiic he has been in office, and, in consequence tliereof, the Republican party, all over this land, is demora lized. Democrats lets shoot them down with our ballots next November and give Mr. Cleveland a "-walk over' for the white house As we walked1 arouncf the city last Saturday, we noticed many marked improvements going on new houses 1 going up and many old ones bteing re painted and repaired. On Spruce Street we saw a very fine two story dwelling erected by our worthy Mayor, Mr. J. E. Peterson, and also some very beautiful improvements on his own dwelling. The city authorities thi3 week, have had a much needed improvement made on the stone foot-way across East and West Centre street, from the corner of the Griffin store in the corner of the Gregory Honsc, to the opposite corner, where formerly stood the hard were store of Jones and Yelverton, by having new stone put on top of the old stone foot-way thus making this foot way several inches higher. We can hardly keep from mention ing that Mr. N. B. Broughton, f Raleigh, in his short address, at the Baptist church, last Sunday night, paid our little city quite a compliment in saying that he believed that ere long, with her push and enterprise, Goldsboro would be one of the largest cities in our State. We believe that cotton and other factories would soon put her up toward the "top sotch" in this respect. Judge Phillips, through the columns of the Tarboro Southerner, character izes as "an outrageous libel" the state ncnt of the Sanford Express that he (the Judge) stayed all niht and drank liquor to excess at the house of de fendant, Buchanan, just previous to his trial and acquittal before J udge Phillips under indictment for the crime cf fornication and adultery. The matter is likely to assume a seri ous aspect. We had the pleasure, last Saturday of meeting in this city, with cur old friend and college mate, Mr. Joseph Kinsey the popular rnd efficient Prin cipal of the Kinsey High School for girls and young ladies at Lagrange. He was here in the interest of his school, and we hope he met with suc cess in the object of his visit. We have known Mr. Kinsey for 27 yean and know him to be one of the best instructors in Eastern North Carolina. The Smithfield Herald has changed hands with its last issue. Bro. F. T. Booker, we are sorry to say, retires from the "field" and in his "Va'edic tory" transfers the paper to Messrs. Octavius Sadler and JohnL. T. Sneed. Bro. Sadler has ample experience in journalism, (editorially and typogra phically,) be having been the editor of the late Rocky Mount Clipper. The last issue under its new management looks as neat and clean as a maiden dressed to her nuntial. They have our heartfelt wishes. We were very glad to see on our streets last Saturday, our old Saulston friend, Mr. Ezekiel Smith, whom we had not seen for many months. He told us that he had almost lost his eye sight, and, consequently, could not see well enouch to read a newspaper, but when we read to bin that local de claring our unswerving faith in the Democratic party, and our undying allegiaaee to that glorious old party, it struck a resnonsive chord in the old gentleman's bosom, and he im mediately cave us nis name as a sub scriber. Wayne superior Court wiu con vene next Monday providing Judge Shipp is sufficieuely recovered from his recent sickness, to hold it. The Judge, we understand, had to close Wake Superior Court, last week, be fore the expiration of the term, and return home, on account of an attack of erysipelas. The efficient C'erk of this court informs us that there are 6G cases on the State Docket, with many magistrates' warrents yet to come in. All the cases are of minor importance, except two, one for highway robery. and one for burglary. It affords us great pleasure to an nounce that the Atlantic Hotel at Morehead city has been leased last L aturday to Mess. Bcermann & Cooke, who will take active charge the latter part of May. Mr. Chas. Beermann is the proprietor of the famous Kimball House in Atlanta, and who doesn't know Mr. Cooke of the Hotel Flor- ence at Ualeih ' The gentlemen e i- .... i comprisin- ine syna.ca.e are - congratulated m their excellent choice, With such famous men as botelists, Morehcsd bids fair to become the Mecca of the Union. A MEMORIAL EVENT. A Outline sketch of the Installation of Rev, J. S. DM. "We bid thee wel come,"' The installation ceremonies of the new Pastor, Rev. J. S. Dill, of the Missionary Baptist church, which took place in that church, last Suwhy night, were very i oppressive, appropriate, beautiful and gramd. It was more like unto a christian 4ove feast" than anything we have witnessed in this cityT among the- Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterians. Rev. , W. San derlin, a former Pastor of this- church presided over the ceremonies, with gracefulness and ability. The cere nieuies were opened with an. Antliam rendered by the choir, after which Kev. C. S. Nelson the oldest member of this church read two lessons from the Holy Scriptures and offered up a most appropriate prayer. Then the choir and congregation standing joined in singing one stanza of that grand old hymn : "All hail the power of Jesus name," and then Mr. J. Y. Joyner stepped forward, to the front of the platform, and in behalf xf the official members of the church, extended to the new Pastor a most hearty wel come in a beautiful, chaste and effec tive style. He as followed by Mr. C. B. Aycock, who welcomed him in behalf of the membership of the Bap tist church, Rev. G. W. Sanderlin ex tended to him a welcome in behalf of the Association to which tins church beh-ngs, embracing eight counties in eastern North Carolina. Mr. N. B. Broughton of Raleigh, extended to him a most cordial we'eome in the name of the Baptists of the State. The Rev. Dr. Robey followed, and extended a hearty welcome in behalf of the Metho dists of this city, at the close of which lie extended to him in behalf of the members of his church the right hand of christian fellowship, then came the Rev. J C. McMullen, whe did like wise in behaii oi the rresoyterians. Rev. Mr. Dill then stepped forward and in a very eloquent, beautiful, and thrilling speech responded to all those soul stiring welcomes. He' seemed as. he doubtless was vcrv much affected by all that had transpired. He then pronounced the benediction, and that vast audience dispersed, under the mellowing influence of that grand old sacred song which shall never die out while there are human lips to sound Jehovah's praise no never this side the pearly gates : "Blest be the t ic that hinds Our hearts in christian love The fellowship of kindred mind Is like to that above," Each one doubtless feeling that it was "good to be there." o Speaks For Itself. Executive Mansion, Washington Feb. 29, 1888.

A few davs since, in conversatio with cne of Goldsboro's business men, he said to us that he did not subscribe for the Headlight, and that he wonld not advertise in a paper which had no circulation worth counting on, that ae had not advertised in a paper since the Mussenaer left, etc. We informed him then, and we repeat the assurance now, that if he had reference to the circulation of the headlight, he was highly mistaken. A paper that has on its lists bona fide subscribers in every Township in Wayne, and a cred itable circulation m Johnston, bamp 6on, Duplin, Green and Lenoir coun ties, surely ought not to fall under his condemnation. All this too notwith standing the fact, that this paper is only eight mouths old, and has been published iu this city only about two months.
