Music at Biu gaw.
i
The good people of Burgaw were treat
ed to another excellent musical entertain
ment ltgt night, under the direction of
Mrs Lindsay, a popular preacher aud a lady
of hue music il ability. The popa!ace
turned out en masae to listen to the en
joyable tffjrtu of the pupils, and were
truly delighted with the result. The
pupis all acquitted themselves with
credit, and it would seem, where all did
so well, invidious to particularize any
special pupil, but we must sta'e that the
organ p'aing by little Miss Lindsay, aged
9 years, and the singling of Alias Neliie
Willi ims, aged 8 jears weie noticeable
conspicuously eveuts in the exhibition.
We congratulate Mrs. Lindsay aud also
the citizens of Burgaw upon the success
which has attended her efforts as an in.
slructor in this delightful and human
izing science. i
We Back Down. i
' Nearly three years ago we announced
through the.se columns that the Spirit oj
the South . ad ceased to be a Republican
paper, assigning our reasons for sucn
change of bade. Hence, Bro. James, yon
h;id no more right to regard the Spit it as
a Republican paper thau we had to look
upon your paper as an opponent of the
f Democracy . With this explanation we
trust that you will be able to discern how
the differenct(?) between Dr. Uarllee and
the Spirit on political questions can be
reconciled.
We very cheerfully give the Spirit the
benefit of its correction, and trust that
Ijefore long it will be able to go a litt'e
farther and state that it has not oolj
"ceased to be a RipublicAn' paper" but
that it has enrolled itself in! the Djmo
cratic ranks. We bai no desire to do our
neighbor an injustice and in the absence
of information merely judged itln tbepres

To Tobacco Dealers.
Some tobacco dealers need to be re
minded of the law in regard to tobacco
stamps, which is now being enforced.
The law requires that after the last
cigar orpiece of to bacco is taken from a
box, the stamp shall be destroyed, either
by scraping or tearing off a part or the
whole thereof. The penalty for each
offence is a fine of $50 and impris
onment; but the collector may, st his
discretion, recommend to the head ot his
department, at Washington, the remitting
of the whole or any portion of the penalty.
This is very frequently done, when it is
cj early shown that the evasion or break
ing of the law is entirely the result of
ignarance or accident, and when no
attempt to defraud the government is
shewn. It ie better, however, by a strict
compliance, to be on the safe side.
Deputy x collectors are required to be on
the lookout for empty tobacco and cigar
boxes, and there is no telling when they
may eall upon any dealer to show up.
Mb. Ed.tkk :
I have noticed recently iu tbe Charlotte
Observer a statement copied by the Re
vizw and other papers, that satisfactory
arrangements have just been made be
tween the Western N. G. R R. and the
Carolina Central for freights to and from
Wilmington. I am very glad to chronic
cie that fact, first because it must prove
beneficial to Wilmington, and not only to
Wilmington but to our Western brethren
also, and secondly because I hope it wdl
put a stop to aDy further complaints
against Gov. Jarvis for his supposed hos
tility to the; interests of our city. A sup
position that does him great injustice, for
I feel very sure that there never has then
a moment when he contemplated allow
ing any interest in which be could exer
cise control, to be used in any way det
rimental to Wilmington or the interests
of her people. Time will show how un
called for and how unjust have been the
complaints made against him on that
score, and wiil show also, that . so far
from being inimical to our section, tbe
very reverse has been the case and wiil
contiuue u bo. Cato.
