of Bishop Atkinson. "We learn that the

A Bis Improvement
We are glad to see the City Treasurer
busily engaged in making out a large
number of the new 6 per cent city bonds,
which are beinz sold at par. The bonds
are being bought in large amounts by
our most prominent business men. When
the present city government took charge
of tho affairs of the city, Wilmington
city 8 percent bonds-were flat at 60
cents on the dollar, but now they' are
stiff and are above par with none on the
market. .

the new Sheriff of Feeder county, gave a

since an articU w publish elsewhere was
in type a gentleman who was at Hurgaw
on Monday tejls us that tke amount in

can be gotten up for a like amount any
where in North Carolina.

Fire at SmlthTllle.
We regret to learn that a disastrous
fire occurred at Smith ville this morning.
destroying the dwelling of Mr. S. -M-Bobbins',
together .with . ita contents,
including a trunk in which Mr. Bobbins
had $2,000 in money laid away, the result
of years of honest toil at his trade in
striking the anvil, Mr. Bobbins being a
blacksmith by trade. We . have since
learned that Mr. B. once kept his money
in bank and had the misfortune to lose
his deposit there also, since which time
he has preferred to become his own
banker, with the infortunate result above
stated. Cruel fate sometimes pursues
relentlessly the same individual, as we
herewith have an instance.

We are glad to learn that Capt A.
C. Ward, the newly appointed Sheriff of
Pender county, has given his bond as
such. lie filed it in full on Monday, in

Capt. A'ard relieves Sheriff A. U. Pad

sertion which is not merely written here
in compliment to a retiring official, bat
because the facts bear us oat in what we
say. At the last term of Pender Coun
