A com" mittee was appointed to draft a consti tution and by-laws for the band, with instructions to report at the next meet ing. A committee was also appointed to confer with individuals who miht be induced to become members of the organization.

We learn that a movement is on foot to have two new PoUofiices established in Caintuck township, Pender county, for the convenience of the people. . The new oflices wili be named, respec tively, "Lonely," and "Keith." These will necesitate a new postal route from Viola to Colly and return, yia the two new offices named above. If estab lished they will prove a great conven ience to many of tbe people whose nearest Postoffice now is from seven to tea miles distant. The necessary peti tions have been drawn, signed and for warded to Hon. W. J. Greene who never fails' to look out sharply for the interest of his constituents.

The side door at the Opera House should always be in such1 a condition that it can be opened instantly in case of au emergency when an entertain ment is being he!d there. Last night the house was crowded, and had there been any alarm of fire or other cause ot excitement mere was only one means of egress, and incase of a panic or Tush serious injuries to persons must have resulted. The key to the sidodoor should always be in the bands of some reliable person on the premi ses, so that it could be opened in a moment. This was a subject of much comment last night and this morning, and, we think, very justly, too. To-day is the anniversary of the battle of Fredericksburg. ; Va., which wa3 fought on the 13th day of December. 1862, just 22 years ago. The writer of this paragraph was in that battle and was severely wounded early in the con test. ' - .;: ' ' MrJvC.
