The reported discovery of very rich silver mines in Utah has led to the laying out of several new towns. The laying out of a good many too previous investors will follow later. If Dyrenforth goes on with his dynamite rain business down in Tex as, they will have to get out an in junction against him to stop h!m from tearing the roads all to pieces. The short grain Crop in Europe pats the Canadian farmer in the swim . also. With enough left for heme., consumption they will have 33,000,000 bushels of wheat for ex port. . A female lecturer informs us that it people treated their bodies as they do their souls the soap men might lake a rest, from which it is to be inferred that the average soul is not soaped .much. Her remark is not applicable to people who have no scuis, of which there-are a Igood rr.Liy in this world, if they are to be judged by their actions. The Baltimore American thinks that the population of Chicago will exceed that , of 'New ""York in 1900. Very likely. All that Chicago has tii do whfn chp fflc that shf hasn't got pq.al.noa enough is to reach out and take in some more territory, and in doing this she tlon't have to cross rivers-as New York has to. "Old Hutch," the Chicago grain king who is now sojourning in New York, was reported mentally unbal anced when he suddenly left Chica go some time ago. But his head was level when he slipped into the Goth am grain pit during the recent craze and raked in net profits of 600,000 on his deals. Squire Vaughn, ot Nebraska has found another backer tor his $500,-000,000- pension scheme for the ex slaves. It is J. E. Williamson, col ored, of Raleigh, who announces himself a candidate for Congress on that platform. The announcement of his candidacy explains the milk in cocoanut as far as he is concerned. Wilmington, Delaware, is bragging of a 54 year old denizen who is cut ting his third set of teeth. In a quiet, old burg like that people don't have much to do but wear teeth out and cut 'em and there is no reason why they shouldn't cuti them. Besides cutting them is a good deal more economical than buying new sets. Geo. H. Abbott, the New Hamp shire murderer, who so brutally slew the young woman who had rejected him, is not a Geeorgia man as he al leged, but a product of .Massachu setts. He sojourned for six years in the penitentiary of Vermont, but as the monotony was irksome, he left suddenly without serving the other nine yeais to which he was sentenced for a batch of burglaries.

Campbell A Grand Ball at Bright." ' ' Sunday morning dawned bright and beautiful at Carolina Beach where the Fayetteville Independent Light In fantry Company were encamped. In accordance with the orders pre viously issued, the usual routine was not observed, but the day was given over to rest, and no duty was required of the command until the hour for dress pa rade, when the ranks were formed and all Vere reported present. A very noticeable feature of this parade was that there were in the ranks- three former commanding officers Majors A. A. McKethan, J. A. McLauchlin and W. F. Campbell fully illustrating the esprit du corps that has ever character ized this old and honorable military or ganization. After the parade the F. I. L. I. band rendered "Auld Lang Syne," "Nearer My God to Thee" and. -Slowly the Day is Declining." Then Rev. Dr. Pritchard, of this city, preached a very eloquent and appropriate sermon. As if to express - its regret that the time of the departure of the company was near at hand, Nature put on mourn ing habiliments and the morning ot the NINETY-EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY DAY of the company was ushered in with clouds, rain and wind, rendering it im possible that any outdoor exercises could be observed; but determined to make the best of the situation, all en gaged in such sports as the limits of the quarters would allow. The afternoon boat brought down a team of the Wilmington Light Infantry to compete for the prize offered for that organization. They were met at the boat landing by a detail of the F. I. L. I., and escorted to camp. THE TARGET PRACTICE. Contrary to the expectations of all on the Beach the rain ceased about 8.30 o. m., and notwithstanding the sky con tinued overcast, the target-shooting be gan at 4.30 and the following gentlemen won : F. I. L. I. First Prize Capt. Jno. C. Vann. Second Prize Private J. A. Vann. Third. Prize For man who never won a prize G. A. Burns. BAND. First Prize Thos. F. Lewis. Second Prize M. J. Graham. WILMINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY. The team from this company had, their practice under veiy great difficul ties. Rain had again set in before they began firing, and it was almost too daf k to see the bull's eye. The prize for this company was carried off by Sergeant Ed. Moore. Immediately after the target shooting the company's band marched to the Oceanic and entertained the assembled crowd with a number of1 selections of choice music When this feature of the day was concluded MAJOR W. F. CAMPBELL was introduced by Major J, B. Broad foot, and eloquently addressed the as semblage as follows: Ladies and gentlemen Fellow Sol diers: An occurrence of unusual interest has brought about the military gathering here to-day. We have met together, my friends,to celebrate the ninety-eighth anniversary of 4 the Fayetteville Inde pendent Light Infantry Company, and may say that it is an unusual occur ance, without recurring to anything about the record of this company. Is it not enough to know that it has reached thft acre of ninetv-eieht vears without a 1 single break in its line, witn every 01 ficer and soldier at his post, each know- jj-g -u-uj-j ; that you are entitled to tne coDgratuia- tions of all persons who note your weary march that has brought you within two miles of your one hundred milestone; .f nQ farther yQu haye reached a point which only very few or- o-anizations, either civil or military, have the proud distinction of ever attaining I am not here to-day, my friends, to re mind you of the glorious record vou have made. I am not here to record the deeds of valor which you have perform ed in the war of 1812, in the Mexican war, or in the War Between The States. These services have been re- nized and appreciated by your State . b stantjai iegislation.But lam .here to asesrt, as the representative of this company, that it is as loyal to its coun try and its State, and as ready to march to the. defence of either, as it was in 1812 or in 1861. I desire to say to the Wilmington Light Infantry, who have so kindly lent us their presence this evening, that we hail them as comrades and brothers-inarms, as friends, and their presence on this occasion but adds another link to the chain which binds the two organiza tions inseparably together, Another feature of this celebration is the presence of a large representation of the Veteran Corns, headed by that old veteran.

Wright Huske. the gallant commander of this company at the bat tle of Bethel. , MILITARY BALL.

The Fayetteville company will leave the Beach this morning at 7; o'clock, and upon arrival in the city will march lathe Princess street depot of the Wil mington Seacoast Railroad, and taking the train will spend the day at Ocean View as the guests of that company and Mr. Stacy VanAmringe. The company will return to Carolina Beach in the evening and the following morning, at 7 o'clock, break camp and take their de parture for liome via train on the C. F. & Y. V. Railroad.
