has damaged the peaches in some localities,
but a large proportion has eacapea any in

fact that the most prosperous towns in the
8tate are those situated in the tobacco
raising districts, and in which the manu
facture of the weed is carried on. Durham,
Winston. Reidsville. Henderson, and lately
Oxford and Hickory, are examples. Around
these towns fine tobacco is raised.and both
town and country are enriched. The farm
ers of Granville, where fine tobacco is a
specialty, are the most prosperous body of
agriculturists in tne ctaie.

what our informant could learn, that the
two men, both white, have enjoyed the
reputation of bullies in the neighborhood
where they lived, and that in two personal
encounters between them one of them was
pretty badly used up by the other. On
the second occasion the defeated bellige

that if the other ever attempted such a

Off for Europe courtesies Extended
to Vice Consul Heide and Party.
At 9 A. M. yesterday, Vice Consul R. E.
Heide, accompanied by his two daughters,
embarked on thejBteamship Benefactor, un-
der command of Capt. Thomas Jones, en
route for New York, where, as stated in our
last, they will take passage for Europe. As
the Benefactor steamed along the city front
the other steamers in port extended com
plimentary salutes, while the Danish flag
was displayed from the Vice Consulate,
and the various Scandinavian vessels in the
harbor had their flags flying in honor of the
event. The steamer Wm. Nyce, gayly
decked out with flags, took a party of ladies
and gentlemen a few miles down the river,
and while returning met, the steamer Pasa
port, with an excursion party on board,
when the Nyce party left their steamer and
joined the excursionists on their way to the
mouth of the river. -
Vice Consul Heide has been an American
resident for nearly thirty years, and this is
the first time he has started to cross the
ocean to visit his old home.
" We should have stated in our last that
Mr. A. a Heide will be Acting Vice Consul
during bis brother's absence through the
latter'a appointment, which appointment
has been duly confirmed by the ministers
resident of Norway, Sweden and Den
mark in this country.

Tne Excursion. '
The excursion on the steamer Passport
yesterday was not as largely attended as It
would have been had not the bad weather
intervened, causing a postponement. Never
theless there was a fair crowd of ladies and
gentlemen in the party, and we learn that
they enjoyed the trip immensely, the day
being an exceptionally pleasant, one for the
purpose. The boat touched at Fort Fisher
going down, remaining a quarter of an
hour, then went to Fort Caswell and re
mained about an hour and a half, then to
Bald Head, but did not stop, and then to
Smithville, where there was a stoppage of
about a half hour. Returning there was
another short stoppage at Fort Fisher, and
at Kendal, the Holmes plantation, the ex
cursionists also landed, but remained but a
"brief seaaorj.and about sun-down the happy
crowd were landed at the steamer's wharf,
well'pleased with the day's experience at
the seaside.
Tne Infirmary Once more.
It seems that every time we mention any
thing about the "Infirmary" we get our
"foot m it," though fortunately not for a
surgical operation. The old trouble, it ap
pears, stilt exists in regard to the location,
the residents in the section of the city in
which it has been opened being opposed to
such an institution being located in their
midst, and a strong protest to that effect,
we are told, will be laid before the Board
of Aldermen. The Reporter, in endorsing
the Infirmary, which is something badly
needed here, never has wished to be under
stood as endorsing the location of it, not
even knowing on what part, of Campbell
street it had been opened. In other words,,
we simply gave the information in regard
to it as a matter of news. '

memorial Day
A meeting of the marshals for Memorial
Day. was held at the rooms of the Library
Association, yesterday afternoon, to per
fect' arrangements for the- celebration: on
Monday next. It being ascertained that
the Ladies' Memorial Association was
greatly in need of funds to carry out the
purpose of the Association, the following
preamble-and resolution were presented
and adopted: ' . -
Whebbas, We have learned that there
are graves of our departed comrades in our
cemetery whose relatives are either absent
or not pecuniarily able to bestow on ' them
that care and attention which they so
richly deserve; and, whereas, we have
learned that the funds in the bands of the
Ladies' Memorial Association are insuffi
cient for this duty, as well as for defraying
the necessary expenses attending the annual
ceremonies; and, whereas,: the-ladies have
heretofore not given the gentlemen an op
portunity of expressing their interest by
contributing to these expenses; therefore,
be it '
Besohed, That it is the opinion of those
present that it is the sentiment of all ex
Confederates that the graves of our com
rades should not be allowed to show any
signs of neglect, and that the ladies should
be encouraged by our pecuniary aid, as well
as sympathetic sentiments, to perpetuate
these ceremonies in a becoming manner,
and that a committee of five be appointed to
open subscription lists for this purpose,
and tender the money to the Ladies' Me
morial Association. " .
In accordance with the above resolution
the following gentlemen were" appointed as
a Committee to solicit contributions for the
purpose mentioned: Messrs. J. G. Wright;
N. C. Prempert, E. H. King, J. D. Meares;
and J. C. Stevenson.
The order of ceremonies for the day will
be announced in the next issue of the Stab.
Dr. L Guy Lewis, of Fulton, Ark.,
writes : "One year ago, I was taken sick, a
friend argued so strongly in favor of Tutt'a
Pills that I was induced to use them.
Never did medicine have a happier effect
than in my case. After a practice of a
quarter of a century 1 proclaim them the
best anti bilious medicine ever used. I
have prescribed them in my practice ever
since.'

CONGRESS WATER. None genome sold on
draught. Its superiority as a cathartic and altera
tive consists in its entire freedom from every thing
bitter, add or crade that produces headache', inter
nal soreness, and tends to destroy the mucous mem
brane. All mineral waters that are dangerous irri
tants may be known by an acid afur-taste. .
THE GREATEST BLESSING. A simple, pore,
harmless remedy, that cores every time, ana pre

blessing conferred upon man. Hop Bitters is that
remedy, and its proprietors are being blessed by
thousands who- have been saved and eared by it.

Here is an article which works to perfection, and
which is harmless; for the sleep which it affords
the infant is perfectly natural, and the little cherub
