Esq, 1 was nominated for Chairman, but he declined a re-election. W. W. Harriss, Esq.. was then' placed in nomination, and was -elected by ac clamation. John Cowan, Esq.. was nominated and was elected by accla mation. The meeting being duly or ganized, the County Commissioners were notified that the Justices were ready to receive them. - At the joint meeting there was a full Board of County Commissioners. Air. H. A. Bagg. Chairman of the Board, addressed the ioint meeting in regard to tho business before them, and - reading the estimates submitted by the County Commissioners, embracing the follow ing tax levy: Estimated For Criminal Court, S8.250; Superior Court, $850; Commis sioners. S750; Coroner, 130; Justices of the Peace. $640; Constables. $325; Register, $450; Advertising. 125; Incidental, $1,300; Roads and Bridges, $450; Superintendent of Health, $900; Poor House, $3,000; Out Door Poor, $2,500; Hopsital, $1,500; Jail, $2,025; Public Buildings, $500; Printing and Stationary. $375; Tax Listing. $1,050; Attorney, $500; Assessors, $400; Tax on property purchased by County and paid to State. $1,200. Total $27,220. To meet this, it is recommended that the following levy be made on - proper ty: . . . . j Real and Personal For Geoeral Ex penses, on $100, 20$ cts; Criminal Court, on $100. 15 cts; Hospital, on $100, 2 cts. Total on property, 37 cts. And on the Poll For General ExT penses. 614 cts ; Criminal Court. 45 cts ; Hospital 6 cts. Total on poll $1.12 cts, It is estimated that thi3 levy on prop erty and on income and franchise will realize net. $20,500; from Schedule B and C,$4,600; from 25 per cent on Poll Tax, $1,000. Total $26,300. With this levy the whole tax will be as follows: ! For County on - property, 374 cts : State on property, 374 cts. Total 75 cts. On poll on County, $1,124; on poll for State. $1:124. Total $2.25. It was moved that the tax levy be re ceived aud adopted, which was carried unanimously. The Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners then submitted his report , as follows: 7 Wilmington. N. C, Aug. 3, '83. To the Worshipful, the Justices of the reacefor the County of Xcw Hanover : Gentlemen As Chairman of the Board of Commissioners for.New Han over County, X submit lo your worships a short and explicit statement of the finances ot tho county, the condition of the county property, &c. At your last meeting the bonded debt ot the county was $15,800. Sinco that time the said debt has been reduced ,$0,700, leaving the bonded debt of the county $6,100. To meet part of tho interest on said debt, it was thought advisable to place $6,500 on certificate ot deposit, in one of the banks. An order was therefore passed by the Board of Commissioners and served on the County Treasurer, instructing him to carry out the wishes of the Board. In a communication, re ceived August 1st, he advised the Board as follows : , i. "Your communication of tho 27ih inst., to hand. As ordered therein, I have placed on interest, at the rate of four per cent, per annum, the sum of six thousand and five hundred dollars, with tho First National Bank of Wil mington, holding their certificate for same, payable to my order as treasur er." The bonded debt of the county bears interest at the rate of six per cent, per annum, and the certificate of deposit at the rate of four per cent, per annum, which interest (within $106) pays the interest on the bonded debt. By the action of the last Legislature, the Commissioners arc not allow ed - to levy a tax on retail liquor dealers, which lessens this source ofrevenuetothe county $4,000. Also the tax on liquors has been reduced from tea per cent to one tenth of one percent., and including the tax on merchandise, which has fallen off from $7,052. to $4 799. you have the loss in revenue to the county as follows: Re tail liquor dealers $4,000. Schedule - B. 2.252. Total $6 252. Amount of money on hand at this time is $7,700.20, from which take $1,000, to be used in build ing an addition to the hospital, and $1. 000, the difference between the tax levy and the amount estimated to be realized from tax on property and poll, and it leaves a net balance of $5,700,20, which amount will be sufficient to meet county expenses until the money realized from the present tax levy shall be available. The property of the county is in first clas3 condition, and I think it -will re pay any omuor all of your . worships - to visit the poor house property and see what a great change can be effected by the judicious use of paint and white wash. The improvement is so appar ent that one having Eeta it five years since would not recognize it as the same property. The iail roof is being thorough ly over hauled, repaired and painted, and daring the past year a permanent and substantial stonewall has been built on the East side of the jail yard. Other property of the county is m good repair and carefully looked alter. A ae- tailed -statement of the estimated ex penditures tor the next fiscal year.' and the levy necessary to meet the same, having been furnished each of your worships, a more extended renort is not necessary. ! . very Respectfully, Yourobtservt Horace A. Bagg. It was moved that the report be re ceived and spread upon the minutes. This motion, together with an araendr ment that the report was deemed satis factory, was adopted. V ... , E. D. Hall, Esq., offered the follow ing resolution, which was adopted : fiesolved. That the thanks of the Board of Justices of the county are due and are hereby tendered to the County Commissioners for the able manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the county, and we are satisfied that the admirable state of the county finan ces must be a source of gratification to the tax payers generally. j 1 Adjourned. j Bridge Fallen In.

Jimmie Torrance, aged about 9 years, son of Thomas R: Torrance, who lives about 4 miles from .Magnolia, in Duplin county, is a bright, healthy bey of his are, and has never had any seri ous sickness, yet for the last four or five years his iiair has - been turning gray until now his head has the appearance of a man of 50 years. His father's hair is a brown color with notj . near so much of gray as that of the .son. al though the former is more than 45 years of age. The lad's hair was origi nally black, which was the color of his mother's. All his physical conditions save the one spoken of aie entirely nor mal and healthy. He has three broth ers and three sisters, neither of whom show any indications of turning gray, although they are all older than him. It is a case the like of which we neycr heard and one that wc should think would be interesting to physiologists . - j 'Business Changes. Among the business changes which will be made this season, none will be more important than those contemplat ed by Mr.'C W. Yates. He has leased his present store for a time of five years, includingthe upper stories, and will make many valuable additions and alterations. The rear of the book store, which lias heretofore been used as a photographic gallery, will be en lanced by the removal of partitions and will be filled up for Trof. VanLaer as a music warehouse, for, the sale of pianos, and organs on an extensive scale. Another story will bo added' immediately aboyethe- music, room, which will be supplied with a skylight and fitted up elegantly as photograph ic gallery, .while the second story front will be entirely remodeled and decorat ed in the highest style of art, and will pe furnished with all the popular maga zines and periodicals for the use of those who may be compelled to wait to have their! pictures taken. The bookstore will remain where it now is, although it will be remodeled in such a way as to give it more room and greater conven ience. " ' : I Bare CCance to Visit AVashlngr ton, D; C. .
