A large number of people went to the Hammocks yesterday on the 8 o'clock train to see the game of ball between High Point and Wilmington teams. It resulted in a score of ten to two In favor ot tbe visiting club. The game was close and good playing was hadJ up to the 5th inning, the score standing two to one, but Pearsall, the pitcher, was taken sick and retired, and the visiting-club then had easy work of it and batted the ball to all parts ot the field. The High Point team has four players from the Oak Ridge team and four from the Guilford college team. They know the ball game thoroughly and their team work is immense. Delano, Jones, Belden and Zellers were "up to date" at the baL Furlong, Belden and Zellers made some excellent plays. Pearsall's pitching was faultless, and if he had remained throughout the game the score would probably have been changed. Bailey, Jones and Strayhorn deserve special mention.

The teams were as follows : Wilmington Dahlgren, catch; Pear sall, pitch; Furlong, first base; Belden, second base; Stevens, third base; Bray, short stop; Zellarr, left field; French, centre field; Delano, right field; Roberts and Rankin, substitutes.

It makes a very creditable showing, only three per cent, of the deaths were from cases of typhoid fever. "Chief Justice" Campbell, though hav ing announced that he would return to Hanging Dog at two different times, still lingers in the city. The Seaboard Railroad has offered a one-cent rate to Norfolk, July fourth.

GOLDEN WEDDING. NEW YORK TRUCK MARKET. Fiftieth Annrremry of the Msrrisgs of Mr. end Mts. B. Q. Worth A Mem orable Occasion Gathering of Their Children , and Grand-Children Con gratulatory Address from the Session . of the First Presbyterian Church. The fiftieth anniversary of the mar riage of Mr, and Mrs. B. G. Worth was celebrated yesterday by a family re union a gathering of their chil dren and - grandchildren at the resi dence on North Second street. There were present upon this memorable occasion. Mr. and Mrs. George R. French, Mr. and Mrs..W. G. Herring and child, Mr. and Mrs..W. E. Worth, Mr. and Mrs. W. J.Woodward and family, of Wilmington; Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Weller and family, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Worth and family, of Creskill, N. J.; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B. Worth and family, of Petersburg, Va. Only two of the grandchildren were absent Last evening, many of the friends of the family, including the elders of tbe First Presbyterian Church, called at the residence to extend their congratula tions, when the following address from the session of the church was presented, viz: Wilmington, N. C, June 26. Mr. and Mrs, B. G. Worth, Beloved of the Lord: The Session of the First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington, N. C, presents its loving greetings to you on this the golden anniversary of your wedding day. For half a century God has spared you to walk together in married love. For nearly the whole of this itime you have been united in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ, and thus the holiest of hu man relations has been made more sacred and more blessed by the Divine love and communion in the Divine life. Dur ing this period yoa have seen your chil dren and grandchildren grow up around you. All of your children you have seen enter tbe service of Christ and take positions of usefulness in the world. A number of your grandchildren have al ready witnessed a good confession, and others presented to the Lord in their infancy give promise of early piety. More remarkable still in a world of death and sorrow, there has never been a break in the widening circle in all those years, and with the single excep tion of one detained in a distant State, all are here to greet you, or to be greet ed by you, on this auspicious day. Our faith would be slow and unres ponsive indeed, it we laued to connect these signal manifestations of God's mercy with the godly and useful lives that by His grace you have led in the world. While all of God's servants pass through affliction in some form and you have not been exempt and while many of his chosen are, in His wisdom, called to experience these bereavements that you have been spared. God's word and promise show that even in this life He delights to honor and bless the righteous. When we consider your long lile we remember the promise : "He that dwelleth inj the secret place of the Most High shall abide under tbe shadow of the Almighty. With long life will I satisfy him! and show him My salvation." (Ps. cxi: 1, 16.) When we see your children and grandchildren about you, we are reminded that "chil dren are an heritage of the Lord; as arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth; happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them." (Ps. exxvii: 8-5). When we see the peace and prosperity that crown your latter days we recall the admonition: "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of ' that man is peace." (Ps. xxxviii: 87). And when we behold the honored place that you, our senior elder, hold in the Church and the community, and your continued and abounding usefulness in the service of God and man, we remem ber the promise "they shall still bring forth fruit in old age," (Ps. xcii:14), while to the dear partner of your life is given the harder but not less honorable lot of "bringing forth fruit with patience." un til patience has had "her perfect work." (Luke viii:15; James 1-4). In the name of our adorable Lord, we greet you on this day, and pray that God's richest benediction may abide upon you and yours, until all are gath ered together in the eternal reunion in our Father's House.

Befer than this, the CAROLINA MUTUAL deposits all premiums re ceived at this agency to their credit with the WILMINGTON SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY. This makes it practically a local company.
