Children's Choral Service.
The choral service by the children
connected with the Sunday School of St.
John's Church, yesterday afternoon,
was an interesting and extremely pleas
ant affair. For a considerable time be
fore the hour appointed for the service
to commence, citizens of both sexes
and almost nil ages, began to flock to
the church end fill the pews reserved
fur ihe accommodation of the public,
so that when the hour of 4 o'clock ar
rived every seat was occupied and
many were constrained to stand in the
aisles. At the appointed hour the
teachers and children marched up the
centre aisle of the church and took pos
session ot the pews which hadbeen re
served for them. The programme lor
the occasion wa3 carried out in full and
the music, under the skillful manage
ment and direction of Mrs. M. P. Tay,
lor, assisted by Messrs. Munson.and
Smithdeal, first and second violins, and
Willson and-Schloss, first and second
cornets, wis grand and beautiful. The
voices of the children showed carelu
training, both in time and tune, and
they rendered the pieces selected for the
occasion with exquisite taste.
Failed to Meet.
Tho Charlotte Observer has this to
say of the meeting which was proposed
to bo held in that city looking to the
extension of the Carolina Contral R. R
to Spartanburg, which it seems did no
take place:
Tho proposed meeting of the Spartan
burg & Laurens and Carolina Centra
Railroad men, which was so extensively
advertised in the papers to be held m
Charlotte on the 11th, was a failure
Connection was missed somewhere
There was not a single man in the city
yesterday who even looked like he might
be a .railroad man, ana nobody at al
could tell anything about the proposed
meeting. That it was the intention of
these men 70 have met in Charlotte yes
terday there can be no doubt, as it was
annnunced in the Baltimore, Augusta,
Atlauta and Charleston papers. Par
ties from Spartanburg and Augusta
were in the city yesterday to attend the
meeting, but finding there was nobody
here to hold one, they left on the alter
noon trains. There is some mystery
about the affair. J ust why these rail
road men announced that they were to
meet in Charlotte acd'then failed to do
so without letting any reason be known
is perhaps none of our business, but
then we would like to know, simply as
a matter ot curiosity.
A Word to Farmers.
Wc would suggest that, in view of
tho approaching Stale Exposition, the
farmers ol New Hanover devoto some
attention to the culture of jute, hemp
and sugar cane. The climate here is
favors ble and in many places the soil is
peculiarly well adapted to the growth
of these products. It is not yet too late
to obtain the seed and plant a crop of
either of them, but there is no time to
ose. Duplin and Sampson counties
aro devoting mucn attention 10 tee
growth ot these articles and will make
a fine dispiay, especially in sugar cane
and its varied products. Jute can un
doubtedly be cultivated successfully
and profitably, while it was demon-
tratcd many years ago that hemp could
be grown abundantly One of the first
settlers of Duplin county (then a part of
New Hanover) was Mr. Boney, who
was a ropemaker and did quito an ex
tensive business in tho manufacture of
rope and cordage. He owned a large
tract of land upon which he raised the
hemp that he manufactured. We ought
to make an excellent display from this
county and our farmers can do as much
as any class of our citizens towards
making it complete and creditable.
There was a match game ot baseball
played on Saturday afternoon, at what
13 know as "Wright's Field," between
the "Pacific," Capt. Norwood J.
Smith, and "Little Star," Capt. S.
Vick, two juvenile nines of this city.
The score stood "Little Star."' 41 ; "Pa

Death of a Good "Woman.
Mrs. Sarah Grissom died at Smith,
ville last night, aged about 65 years. In
her death the citizens of that town
suffer the loss of a most estimable
Christian woman, whose unostentatious
acts ot mercy and kindness to all with
whom she became associated will be
long and tenderly remembered by her
large circle of relatives and acquain-
tances. She was a consistent ana con
scientious member of the M. E. Church
at Smithville, with which she connected
herself man v vears ago. The deceased
w ,0 . -
had been in declining health for several
months, with no prospects of a recovery,
and death came as a release from suffer
.
mg.
Oakdalc Cemetery.
We are again requested to call atten
tion to tho fact that no one, man
woman or child, is allowed to pick and
m f J t
carry on; nowers irom iaKuaic
Cemetery. This is a slringent rule and
will be enforced. There is a penalty
allowed! bv law for its infringement. It
will be well for all to remember this.
There are excellent reasons why this
rule should be observed as all will sec
at a elance. The place is sacred, the
plants contained in the lots are private
property and those in the grounds are
the property of the corporation, and il
is wronz to remove even a blade of
grass without the express permission of
he owner.
Silver Plated Spoons, Forks and
Knives of best quality, and at manu
