There l no doubt about the fact that Wrightavllle Beach offern the nnest opportunitipH for fishing nf any beach on tho roast. Mr. J. V. (iallaghor. or rharlntte, was regjHtercd at t h e-Tarry mooro Ho tel last week, where he spent several days. Mr. R. M. Krazier and family are guests at the TarryMoore Hotel, where they are upending a short while en Joying the numerous pleasures and devices for which Wrightsvllle Beach Is noted. ' Among the most popular dancers at Iumlna Is Mlsi (.'onnie Fore, of Char lotte. Mihm Fore l immensely pleased with the beach, and her presence there lends much to the pleawure of her nu- merous friends ;The management of the Turrymoorc Hotel states that, with the exception f one day, he hail, on ttMt Saturday, the largest number of arrival of any day in the season, there having been on that day alone, 76 guests registered. This is quite . remarkable record, In View of the lateness of the season, but there seems to be no Indication of a decrease as yet. immediate close of activities at the beach for some time to come. The launch "Atlaiilvi.'VaptuIn Walt er Marine, conducted quite a success ful hulling party 'outside'' last Tues day. There were four or live In the party, and, among other things, they landed one hundred and 111 ty trout and wo xtiark. one of tne sharks was an unusually large one, and gave the gen tlemen quite u lively time for a. while. Mr. V. Zeman wa registered at the Tarrymoore Hotel hist week, where he spent several days in Ashing 'and boat ing. Mr. J. L. Webber, of Charlotte, was a guest of the Tarrymooro Hotel last week. Among the guests registered at t lie Tarrymoore Hotel for the past few days, there were the following from Charlotte: Mr. It. II. Field, Mr. W. K. Whltmore, Mr. J. O. Farror, and Mr. W. L. Wllhoite. The mid-week dance at Lutnlna whs lagely attended both by the residents of the Beach and numbers of young people from the city. The floor in said to be perhaps the best In the State, and with the moonlight and the sea breezes, furnishes quite an Ideal place for all who Ure bent upon having a pleasant time.

Thee wan a lrge picnic given to a number of Wilmingtonlans and resi dents of Wrightsvllle Beach by Mr. B. Swain., who lives near Southport last week. About 86 of Mr. Swain's friends were present, and the outing was Immensely enjoyed by all who were so fortunate as to be Included in the party. The launch Charlotte, Captain Otto, took a party of gentlemen to Shell Island Tuesday evening, where they landed two drum and a large number of smaller fish. The fishing at this time of the year is unusually good; the sea Is calm, and with the winds now prevailing and the facilities ever at one'K command, there Is no excuse for not making a success of any fishing trip. Captain otto Is quite well known for his Intuitive ability to "smell" out a. good fishing hole, and is very popular with the lovers of the sport. Mr. James Kennedy, who is running a seine near the Beach, with a force of eighteen men, says that, from pres ent indications, he will haul t least 1,000 barrels of fall mullet within the next few days. The September mul let is considered hy a great manv peo ple to be the best fish In the sea, and If Mr, Kennedy is as successful ss he hopes to be, we Ree no reason why ev ery one's desire should not be gratified. not large enough to permit the publi cation of more than three State lists. It Is hoped that the net Congress will appropriate money enough to permit I the lists of heads of families in Maine, Massachusetts. Bhode Island, Connec ticut. New York, I'nnnsylvaiiia, and the Carolina to be published. The first census report filled ! 6 pages, the twelfth fills 10,400 pages, each as large us several pages of the tirst report. In 1 700 Philadtlphia was th capita of the United States and had 28,522 Inhabitants. New York was the largest city, with 53,131 Inhabitants. The "Federal City" was planned In nart. but not vet built and I not yet named. Chicago did not exist. There were In the United States about MO, 000 of these heads of families. The record of 1 40.000 of these names have been destroyed. The lists ahout to be published contain about one third of the rest. In 1790 the first four States in population were, in the order named, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and North Carolina. Male whites outnumbered female whites in every State except Massa chusetts Tlhode Island and Connecti cut. Maine Massachusetts and Ver mont ulone had no slaves, although bv n printer's blunder Vermont was credited with 16. The entire cost of the first census was $44,377. A substantial public demand for these lists will give moral support to the demand for the publication of the remaining lists. These are the official rolls of the real first families of the republic.
