Onslow Items. From a gentiemau who was in the city to-day from Jacksonville. Onslow county, wo gathered several interesting items, among which win the fact that the people ot that county are anxious for the railroad. The people will pub- scribo liberally towards the enterprise and will do all in their power to for- ward the road to completion. The crops in Onslow are looking finely, although there has been consid- erable difficulty in secunring good stands, owing to the cool weather of a few weeks ago. The weather is now favorable, nlthoueht the mornings are rather too cool for the rapid growth of corn or cotton. The fruit crop is ex- cellcnt and of superior quality. Interesting Discourse. Rev. Wm.Stoudemire, of Oakland, Md., who preached at St. Paul's Evan gelical' Lutheran Church, on Sunday last, delivered a remarkably interest ing lectaro on Monday night in the samo church. His subject was dis scriptivo of the unveiling of the mon ument erected to the memory of the great reformer. Martin Luth er, at Washington, D. C. He gave a history of the movement and also gave an account of the exercises and proceedings at the time it was unveiled. Mr. Stoudemire is a fine speaker, has good descriptive pow ers, and with a heart warm for his sub- both interesting and instructive. ... . . .

Tho cause for which this corn is donated is a noble yea, a holy-one, a jd we trust that there will be sharp I competition among the bidders at to- morrow's sale, and that tho" fund for the Home may be largely increased I thereby. Mr. R. W. Hicks will be the auctioneer. Personal. His Honor, Judge A. A. McKoy, of Clinton, Sampson county, arrived in tho city last night and registered at the Purcell House. Capt. W. W.
