From official statistics it would seem
the Indian problem Gen." Sheridan
has in hand ought to be of easy solu
tion. They are by no means formida
ble. In 1874, when the last count was
taken, .the Chcyennes numbered 3,905
and the Arapahoes 3.36G. They now
number 3.169 and 1.300 'respectively.
If the count embraces in each case the
same'elements, and in each .case wa3
accurate, the figures show that these
two tribes, at least, are rapidly fading
away. ?".

WILMINGTON. N. C TUESDAY. JULY 28,
lro;jress.
A few months ago a few determined
members of the Baptist Church at
Point Caswell began the erection of a
suitable and much needed house of
worship at that glace. It is now near
ly completed, is a'structure 50 feet long
by 35 feet wide, and when finished
will be a credit to those , who have
caused the work to be done. Rev. W.
M. Kennedy is pastor of the church and
he feels a commendable pride in the
good work of his congregation.

harmonious meeting rconran'zod by
the election of Mr. Edwin W. Kerr,

Adrian, of this city, as Vice President.
This looks like business and it, means
business. Mr, Kerr is a very energetic
man, of indomitable will and deter

directory who will second him in all Of
his measures to push forward tho road
to completion. Mr. Adrian, the Vice
President, whose character as a

can, must and will be built and that it
will be - at once urged forward
to completion. In all it is about 40
miles from Point Caswell to Clinton,

line but 13 miles remains ungraded.
This can soon bo completed and then
