NOW TO RALEIGH to attend a called meeting of the Press Association. The State Democratic Con vention was in session, and what crowds of people were there! We were inform ed that every county in the State was represented, and a half-hour spent in the hall made us think the representation was manifold, and the crowded condition ot all the hotels convinced many that it vvai extra manifold—many being glad to avail themselves of the soft side of a par lor floor! At night the candidates spoke to an immense assembly in front of the National Hotel. The Masonic .TouknalivIucIi is published at Greensboro is worthy of out support. It is tilily edited, possesses a high degree of mer it and contains, besides Ma.souic Literature, well selected matter wliich is calculated to make its visits desirable ard instructive. Tiros. S Kenan, Grand High Friest. Tlte enterprise ought to succeed. We need a means wdiereby a more general Masonic com- immicatio'i may be had : a means for tlie more general ditfiision of .Masonic intelligence. I hope every JIason will take the .Iournal —every Lodge endorse it, and at once make it the Organ of Masonry in North Carolina. With such encouragement and support I am satisfied you can make it of incaladable worth to the Fraternity. Geo. W. Blount, Grind Muster. iW All of which is endorsed by “®a the Grand Lodge and Grand“©a EIF" Chapter. '..v'-k! On the Road. We arrive at Durham and are taken in charge by sundry Brethren and kindly shown many courtesies, for -which we re turn thank.s. We found friend Green rapidly transposing himself into a full- fledged Tobacco Plant, it being on the eve of putting that excellent paper to press. Brother Woodburn was also busy in his two fold capacity of daily Reporter and weekly TIerald, tw'O papers entirely distinct and separate, yet brought out by his individual labors; the one being a neat and spicy little daily chronicler of local events and the other an elegant weekly of more ponderoBs pretentions and extensive circulation. It is always a pleasure to read the production of his fertile pen. Here we visited Durham Lodge, it being the occasion of their first meeting in their new Hall, which on being seen proclaim ed itself the most elegantly finished and handsomely furnished of .any we have seen in thus State. These Brethren are in earnest and among other important measures enacted at this first meeting were those of providing for regular w'eek- ly meetings and .securing the services of Grand Lecturer Walker to drill them in the work. Brother James Southgate is the Worshipful Master, which is a guar antee of success, if energy and devotion will suffice. We regretted to learn that Eno Lodge is not doing so we!!, but hope the impe tus given by Durham Lodge will start THE PRESS ASSOCIATION met in the Senate Chamber and was or ganized by the President, Mr. Jno. D. Cameron of the Hillsboro Recorder, with Mr. Jno. S. Manix of the Newbern Times as Secretary pro tern. Various matters of business pertaining to the Association Was transacted, all looking to the perpet uity of the Association, but we are sorry to .say that, so far as we have been able to see, no practical good has resulted from these annual meetings, other than the social reunions that are afforded and the smoothing down of those asperities of feeling that might crop out between those who cthenvise might know each other as political opponents. Another good move was that of seeking to elevate the tone and standard of journalism in the State, a need th-at has long been felt by both readers and publishers. The annual I election of officers was also held and re sulted in the choice of Dr. H. E. T. Man ning of the Weldon Wetes for President, R. T. Fulghum Secretary and Treasurer, and the Vice Presidents and Committees. Much other business was also transacted, and Cliarlotte was chosen for annual meeting in May, next. While here we were pained to learn of the loss by Wm, G. Hill Lodge by the death of Brother H. H. Thomas, an aged and highly respected member, who had served out more than his three score years and teii in an eartliiy^ pilgrimage and was tenderly laid in his resting place with the mystic rites of the Brotherhood. ERANKLINTON, on the Raleigh & Gaston railroad, is our next objective point, which we reach af- ter a plea.sant run of 27 miles over a de lightful piece of road. This is a .scatter ed village, and at present decidedly dull; cotton again. Here we meet dear friends of our childhood and enjoy their xind hospitality. Busy memory runs back through the past and dwells with fond recollections upon the happy scenes and hours that filled those schooUhoy davs. But they are gone, time has flown and our locks are grown grey with the weight of those years, but they are sweet to mem ory still. LOUISBURG is reached by an easy stage ovei a good road, and we are indebted to our good Brother, Dr. Langford, for this pleasant ride. All along our route crops are beautiful, harve.st is going on and the yield is abundant. It has been nearly fifteen vears since College is to be re-opened in July under the the auspices of Raleigh District Confer- the enoe of the Methodist church, with Rev. Frank L. Reid as President. This is equivalent to success, as there is not a more competent and popular gentleman in the State, and hosts of young ladies \vill flock to his school. Plere oiir Masonic Brethren have b.ien unfortunate. Some time since the large store of Barrow and Pleasants, with oth ers, was destroyed by fire, and the Ma sonic Hall being on the second floor, everything was lost, except the records of both Lodge and Chapter which were saved by being at the homes of the Sec retaries. But the Lodge undaunted, still moves on, but the Chapter is tempo rarily dormant. We will remark that while here we had the honor of being shaved by the assistant door keeper of the U. S. Senate, and a right good barber he is. What a glorious privilege it is to live in a free country and luxuriate in such exalted honors. But we journey eastward in search of more light among the Lodges, and more subscribers among the Brethren, of which we will give full account ne.xt week. The Journal is popular here.
