The Weddlne Bells.
Our clever young friend, Mr. Geo.
A. Bishop, was married last night to
Miss Lula Hudson, a charming young
lady of this city. The wedding took
plaee at the residence of the brides
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hud
son, on the - corner of Sixth and
Church streets. Rev. R. C. Beamaa
pronounced the impressive and im
portant words that made them man
and wife. We tender our-warmest
congratulations.
Little Lord Fauntleroy. '
Did you ever read this beautiful,
this exquisite little book? If not,
go directly and get it and read it at
once, it is one or tne most beauti
ful gems in the literary firnianent.
It was written by an American lady,
Mrs. Burnett, and was intended pri
marily for the entertainment and
instruction of the little folks but
their elders have appropriated it. It
has been dramatized and will be
produced at the Opera House here
on Monday night, under the man
agement of Mr. T. II. French, If
possible read the book and then see
the play. We understand- that Mr.
French's troupe Is an excellent one
and that the piece-is put on the
boards in a wonderfully realistic
manner.
How are the Folks?
"Oh, they're all well except Moth
er, she's about the same. Poor
Mother, worn- out by household
cares, exposure and overwork. No
wonde she gives up at last and
takes to her bed. But oh! how much
brighter the family fireside would
be if mother's chair" was not vacant.
The doctors don't seeui to be doing
her any good. She says their medi
cines don't seem to go to the spot.
She feelsso jveak and longs for
strength. "Oh! give tne strength,"
she murmurs. - Why not give her
the remedy her system craves? Her
impoverished blood and shattered
nerves are starving for just such in
gredients as are contained in B. B.
B. (Botanic Blood Balm). Then try
a bottle of this excellent remedy. It
is truly woman's best friend. It
quickly relieves pain and restores
health strength and functional reg
ularity. James W. Lancaster,1 Hawkins
ville, Ga., writes: lMy wife was in
bad health for eight years. Five
doctors and as many more different
patent medicines had done her no
good. Six bottles of B. B. B. has
cured her."
Miss Frost as Partheula.
A very large and fashionable audi
ence 'greeted Miss Frost and Mr.
Collier and their excellent company
at the Opera House last night. The
accomplished lady has evidently
fully recovered from her recent in
disposition. She appeared to great
advantage last night. She was an
ideal Parthenia. Her conception
of the character is exact and her
protrayal of it equal to the best we
have ever seen. She was applauded
to the echo and by one stride has
attained a very enviable position in
the estimation of our theatre-goers.
Mr. Collier, as lngomar, was su
perb. His personal appearance fits
the character to a nicety and his
delineation of it showed how care
fully he had conned its meaning in
every phase of the representation.
We have seen the play a number of
times but we have never yet seen
two more absolutely harmonious
conceptions. The supportin the
main, was very good. Polydor, an
exceedingly difficult cast, . was sus
tained handsomely bv Mr. Clement
St. Martin. "Pygmalion and Gala
tea" will be presented to-night;
"Virtriuius" will be ulaved at the
matinee to-morrow afternoon and
to-morrow night. The 'short en
gagement of the troupe here will
close with tliat thrillinr realistic
drama, -The Marble Heart."

The j Charlotte Kctcs says that
fif teen additional miles of track on

and the railroad commissioners in
spected and accepted it. This ' puts

, Wilmington Steam Fire Engine
Co. No. 1 will celebrate their 21st
anniversary on the '29th of March.
We well recollect the day when the
first fire st earner:. ever brought to
Wilmington was turned over to
them. ! It took place on the old
"Walker lot," on Princess street,
where now stands the handsome
Smith building. The presentation
by the city and acceptance by the
company was made in the yard just
in rear of the Smith building. Capt.
John L. Boatwright was at that
time foreman of the company. By
the way, we have seen circus per
formances on the same ground and
that, too, since the war. . For some
years previous to the war old John
Robinson's circus used to pitch its
tent on the spot where now stands
the beautiful First Baptist Church,
corner Fifth and Market streets.
Previous to that it used to appear
on the old Academy grounds, on the
site now occupied by the City Hall
and Opera House and the space in
the rear.
State Sunday School Convention.
This body of distinguished Sunday
School workers closed their labors
here last night. A "promise meet
ing," conducted by Mr. Reynolds,
was the first feature of the evening.
Many others took part in it. - Scrip
tual quotations were recited and in
teresting comments made thereon.
Rev. E. A. Yates made the first
regular address of the evening. It
was a beautiful, clear, comprehen
sive discourse and sharmed all who
heard this eminent divine in his
masterly and masterful effort.
- Dr. Yates was followed by Mr.
Wm. Reynolds, in the best address
hejias yet delivered in the Convene
tion. '
Mr. Watts, of Durham,then spoke
and then came the closing scenes
with brief addresses from Rev. F.
W. E. Peschau, Rev.'""W. S. 'Creasy,
Rev. Dr. Pritchard, Rev. R. C. Bea
man and others
The committee on resolutions re
ported the following.
HesolvecL That , the sincere and
hearty thanks of this Convention be
tendered:
1. To the citizens of Wilmington
for hospitality, entertainment and
the many acts of kindness shown
this body, both collectively and in
dividually. '
2. To the Reception Committee;
for its interested, earnest, zealous
and successful labors in onr behalf.
. 3. To the First Presbyterian
church for furnishing such a delight
f ul and convenient meeting place.
4. To the organist and choir for
valuable assistance in music.
5. To the press of the State, and
particularly to the press of Wilming
ton for complimentary notices and
encouraging words.
6. To tne railroad companies
which kindly gave reduced rates to
the delegates in attendance. .
' Resolved. That ." this Convention
thoroughly appreciates the earnest,
intelligent, consecrated labor and
wisely directed efforts of William
Reynolds, President of the National
Sunday School Association, whose
presence with us has proved indeed
a blessing. . vv
licxolvcd-.That we desire our
brother's encouragement in this
grand field of work and wish to as
sure him that, as he goes forth on
his mission of good, he will ever
have our best wishes, our hearty
sympathy and onr earnest prayers.
CiN umbers vi, 24-20.)
JiesohcdS. That the Secretary be
directed 5 to furnish Mr.. Reynolds
with a copy of these" resolutions and
that a copy be spread uikui the min
utes or the Convention. ,
The Convention' then adjourned
to meet in Payetteville next year. .
Alas, how changed! The rosy chek
is pallid as the dead.
And from the eyes that were so
- bright the happy light lias fled.
Life has no joy for her to-day ;grown
old hef ore her prime,
She waits in hopeless suffering for
I I that swift coming time !
When death shall set her free
From poor, sick woman's misery.
But if she Knew what wonderful
cures Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion has effected in worse cases than i
hers, fche would clutch at the chance
of recovering lost health as drown
ing men catch at straws, and fche
nnht be saved.

Klectlons at Southport.
We learn from the Leader that
the stockholders of the South At
lantic and Northwestern R. R. Co.
met in adjourned session at South
port on Wednesday and elected
Messrs. Waldorf H. Phillips, James
F. Dane and John C. Hilton, of New
York; and Dr. W. G. Curtis and Mr.
E. B. Stevens, of Southport, as a
board of directors for the ensuing
year.
The stockholders then took a re
cess until March 5th, 1890, to recon
vene at the same hour and place.
On the same day theSouthport
Terminal Co. met and also elected
directors for the ensuing year, as
follows: Messrs. J. M. Goddard, C.
A. Colby, C. D. Stamford and James
F. Dane, of New York; and Messrs,
E. B. Stevens, A. E. Stevens and M.
B. Guthrie, of Southport. The
meeting then took a recess until
March 5th.
i "Around the World,"
Julius Verne's world-famous
"Eighty Days Around the Wrorld"
is to be completely eclipsed here for
a party of sight seers are to be taken
on the trip at the Opera Honse in
this city on next Tuesday night in
less than 80 minutes. This will also
beat Nelly Bly's good time. There
will be neither trouble nor expense
on this trip and it can be made in
comfortable arm chairs, the only
outlay being the small price of ad
mission charged, and this will go to
the benefit of the Wilmington Li
brary Association.
All this means that a charming
entertainment is to be presented at
the Opera House next Tuesday night
Stereoptican'views of 18 feet square,
of many of the most beautiful cities
and scenes in the world will be pre
sented. The light has been tested
and the pictures are 'thrown out
clear and distinct. There are CI one
scenes in all and they will be accom
panied by descriptions selected from
a famous lecture delivered.byRev. C.
R. Treat. The tourist can thus at
his ease visit London, Paris, Berlin,
Brussels, Venice, Vienna, Rome,
St. Petersburg, Moscow, Constanti
nople, Alexandria, Pekin, Yeddo,
San -Francisco, New York, St. Louis
and many other beautiful and at
tractive cities. The admission has
been placed at 50 cents without ex
tra charge for reserved seats.
