Messrs A. E. Pait, of Bladenboro,
and W. C. Herring, of Xong Creek,
good friends ot ours and subscribers of
the Reyiew. were in the city yesterday
and favored us with calls.
A colored excursion train will be run
from this city to Charlotte on Monday
next, returning on Thursday. Fare
for the roun trip only $2.50. A special
car has been provided for white persons.
There was a case of an affray brought
before the Mayor this morning, but in
consequence of the absence of impor
tant witnesses on the part ot one of the
defendants the case was continued un
til to-morrow morning.
We find that a good many of our
citizens complain that yesterday was
the most oppressively hot day thus far
of the season, when in reality, it was
the coolest we have had in a week.
But was'ot last night hot!

For the South Atlantic States, con

Personal.
Mr. E. A. Hawes. ol Pender county,
was in the city to-day.
Tho latest news from Ir, X- H.
Thompson, who has been seriously sick
atWhitaker's, is that he is very low and
in a critical condition.
WILMINGTON. N. C.
More Stealing.
Late last night a thief entered the
yard of Mr. J. II. Hanby, on the corner
of Eighth and Dock streets, and stole
two chickens and some underclothing.
Mr. Hanby had purchased the poultry
for bis Sunday dinner, out the season
is too warm for chickens to keep. The
thief was seen and an alarm was given,
but he managed to escape with his
plunder.
J ii acre Bennett.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer, writing Mon
day, says: "Judge Bennett arrived
here Friday night, lie is in belter
health than has been for years, and- is'
Is undonbteuly one of the handsomest
and most distinguished looking' men
who come here. He made an early
startler the departments next morning.
Judge Bennett is prepared for an ag
gressive campaign, and does not pro
pose leaving Washington until all his
work as mapped out is complete.
The important offices in his district yet
to be filled are the assayersbip ol the
mint at Chailolte, and the postoffices
at Wilmington and Concord. Seven
removals' have recently been made.
completing tho list of fourth-class of
Gees in that district. The Judge has
had three postal agents appointed, and
made entire changes in tbo postoffices
of a number of ctuuties. He will make
4 m
a clean sweep of all the remaining office
holders.in the Sixth District. As that
district includes two of the largest cities
in the State, aud some of the most pro
gressive towns, his task is one that
would tax any man's wisdom and ener
gies, but Judge liennett is fully equal
to his responsibilities.1'
By Kali to Clinton.
The people of Clinton are wide-awake,
progressive and gb-aheadative. They
have taken their commercial interests
into their own keeping and are determ
ined upen having direct communica
tion with the outside world. A year or
so ago they built and equipped a tele
graph liae and now they have energet
ically attacked the railroad question.
We think that in a few years they will
have two good outlets by railway, one.
that via Point Caswell, of which we
spoke a few days ago, and the other
via Warsaw. This last project, we
understand, is in a very lair way ot
being realized. It is in the hands of
energetic business men and it
is said that work will be
begun on the the first of October. The
road was formenly intended to go to
Faison and to this end the charter was
granted but an amendment was secur
ed from the last Legislature, allowing
,;li onir nnmf nn fha Wit.
mington & Weldon R. R Warsaw
was the point selected and the road
will follow pretty much the line of the
old plank road from Clinton to Warsaw.
This road, it is intended now, will be
built and equipped and run byfprivate
enterprise.
Kelly's Cove Items.
Mr. R. M. Wescott, of Kelly's Cove.
Bladen county, sends us some interest
ing items from his section. He says
that the seasons in his section have
been excellent and the crop promises
are generally very good. It has perhaps
been a little too wet ' for cotton but
corn is really exceeding the most sar
guine expectations But, in the midst
of this bright outlook, there is a serious
drawback in tbe'presefcce ot the dreaded
ho rholera. which has recently been
developed in that neighborhood. On
last Tnesdav Mr. Wescott left home
in the morning, for the day
and when he returned in
the afternoon he found dead in the. pen
a 175 pound hog which was well and
he<hv when he left home. The
health of the people, however, is good,
and there is less sickness in the neigh
borhood than is generally the case at
this season of the year.
Mr. Wescott attended the picnic at
Mr. D. J. Corbett's on the 28th, in honor
of that gentleman's birthday, and he
says "you can just bet that we had a
good time. You ought i to have bes a
there." And we would have been coul J
wo have got there.
It will be to your interest to e ill and
see our goods and prices before you
spend a dollar. Never before could
you make a dollar go as far in clothing
as at the present time. We have yet
a large stock of Summer Clothiog,
which must go. We do not intend car
rying over one dollar's worth this Fall,
so have put prices where wo know they
cannot help but go. You know our
reputation ; when we say goods arc
cheap you know they are. Subxeb, the

A Sad Event. ,

days since in command of the brig
