The Fourth at Burgaw.
The day dawned gloomy and obscure
to those who had anticipated a joyous
festival and who had spent many days
in preparation for tho event. At a lit
tle after the arrival of the first tram
from Wilmington, which contained
quite a thiong, notwithstanding me
threatening aspect of the weather, the
rainTwhich had been falling . in gentle
showers since a little alter midnight
began to pour down in torrents, soon
making the streets almost impassable
on account of the mud and water, -and
continued until near noon. The train
from the Norf,h brought a crowd of vis
itors, while vehicles and conveyances o
almost every description poured in
from the surrounding country, until it
was estimated that there were 2,000
strangers in the town. Many of these
sought a retreat from the pelting storm
with friends and acquaintances Who re
sided in the place, while many went to
the hotels and other shelter- offered
them by the kind and generous.bcarted
people of Burgaw. " h
At about noon the storm ceased, for
a few moments, when a procession was
hastiiv formed under tho direction of
Chief Marshal Dr. W. T. Ennett, and
his assistants, and preceded by the
Wilmington Cornet Concert Club,
marched to the ground, where the cor
ner stone of the new Court House was
laid by the Grand Lodge of North Car
olina with the imposing and impressive
Masonic ceremonies, under the direc
tion ol Acting Grand Master II. II.
Munson, of Wiimington. The follow
ing articles were deposited in a casket
under the stone:
Copy of tho act creating the County
of Pender ; Copy of act locating Coun
ty site and permanent seat of justice .ol
Pender County ; vote of the County
locating the County scat; List of
County officers,- including the Judge
and Solicitor of Third Judicial District,

Congressional District and members
ot the legislature; 4 copy of act iB.
corporating town of Burgaw, the census
of the town and names of attorneysat
law and hotels ; county seal ; plan
and specifications for the Court House
with the name of architect; name of
builder, layer of first brick and maker

German. English, Italian, Prussian,
Norwegian, Russian, Nova Scotian,

Holland, Duchy of Brunswick, French,

coins ; five cent piece new issue ; copy
Daily Review, July 3d, 1883; copy
Morning Star, July 1th, 1883; copy
Tran$criit and Messenger, June 29th,
1883; piece of, music by the Wilming
ton Cornet Concert Club:
list of charter members Clinton & PU

ers of the town of : Caswell; Webster's
Elementary Spelling Book; list of offi
cers of the Iasonic Grand IxxJge of
North Carolina officiating iu the cere
monies; list of officers and members of
King Solomon Lodge, F. and A. M.at
Burgaw.
After all the ccicmonics attendant
upon the laying of the corner-stone had
been duly observed, the procession was
reformed and marched to a large ar
bor, which had been prepared near by,
and under which a rostrum had been
erected, where the speaker selected for
the occasion, Mr. F. II. Basbee, of
Raleigh, delivered an appropriate,
scholarly and eloquent address, but
which, owing to the inclement weather,
was somewhat emasculated. There
was a largo and interested audience in
attendance to listen to the eloquent
word3 of the speaker but soon um
brellas began to be raised and people
began to sock friendly shelter from the
impending rain, which soon poured
down in totfents and continued to fall
nntil about four o'clock. By this time
the streets were a sea of mud and wa
ter, and those who had been so unfor
tunate or so careless as not to have ob
tained shelter were in a miserable and
forlorn-looking condition from the wet
and mud with which their clothing was
saturated and draggled . Such was the
condition of tho streets and the people,
that there was no prospect, for
amusement or pleasure at that-late
hour, and as soon as the sun began Ho
shine, many started for their homes, in
order to secure rest from their fatigue
and dry and comfortable clothings
It wis a day of bitter disappointment
to hundreds of the citizens of Pender
and theadjoining counties who had
looked forward to the pleasures of a
good, old-fashioned "Fourth of July?
in fond anticipation, and had made ex
tensive preparations for the. occasion.
The people ot Pender County, as well,
had entered into the spirit of the time
n light good earnest, and had it
not been for . the -weather at Burgaw
would have witnessed a day such as it
had never seen before. Ample prepar
ations had been made to feed the mul
titude, and it was truly regretful to see
such. quantities of nicely cooked and rich
and appetizing food absolutely wasted
as was the case yesterday. We think
there is no exaggeration in saying that
the abundance ot food on the tables
yesterday would haVo amply fed 5000
people, while 'it was estimated that
there was equally as much more which
had been prepared but was not brought
into town on account ot tiioweainer. -
The good people of Burgaw kept open
doors andHheir hospitality was cordial,
unostentatious and we might say, limit
less. Every one was welcome "and all
were cordially greeted. Husbands and
wives and "mothers and daughters
seemed to vie with each -other in a
spirit of emulation to make the gloom
and sad disappointments of the day
pass as lightly as possible. Rooms and
piazzas were thronged; With visitors,
each bringing necessarily a quota of
mud and wet, while children romped
and plajed in the passages, making nl
together confusion, dirt and litter which
it will take rruich hard labor to remove
and make tho dwellings again as tidy
and presentable as a Pender housewife
can generally boast. Everything was
turned topsy-turvy, yet it was all
right. and the ladies, whose real
work began after the thron had Ielt,
were as cheerful and- good-naturea as
though there was no such thing as mud
upon their floors. y
The Wilmington Cornet Concert
Club furnished music for the occasion,
and it is but an act of simple justice to
say that, considering i the very , limited
practice they have had, they discoursed
excellent music in a very effective and
skilful manner, reflecting credit upon
themselves as well as upon this city.
There was but very little disorder
during the day and incipient disturb-;
ances were promptly quelled by the
town authorities. ; .' -1 . ; I '
. The late afternoon hours were pleas
ant and had it not been for the mudi
which made walking almost impossi
ble 'would have been delightful. At
about dark those who were to return to
the citv beun to gather into the two
cars, which the courtesy of the railroad
authorities had placed upon a side
track, to'wait for the train which was
to bear them home, and which arrived
in due season . and we left, thus ending
the celebration of the Fourth of July at
Burgaw. ! . i
