The long-looked-for "14th" has come and gone, and with it came and went one of the longest trains that for many years has passed our depot The tram was not full when it passed" Durham, but it picked up recruits all the way down, and when it reached Morehead, had on board enough to comfortably occupv all available space. Besides the Dur hamites who "took shipping." were teachers from aJl along the line. Many of them we knew", many more we had never seen. Chapel Hill sent Prol.

I " The gallant Capti Fielding and his competent cadet Kiser, left to-d'iy, (Wednesday) for Goldsboro, where they have been ordered to report for duty. The forces here will be com manded by Capt. Agnes Gow and her daughter. These officers are sent to succeed Capt. Fie1 ding, and they have a hard place to fill, for Capt. Fielding is a hard working, earnest man and his deportment in Durham has been excellent. We wish him success in his new field, and hope that the same measure of success that he has enjoyed may be won by his successor! The I). L. I. This excellent company of excellent young men, will make an effort to ren der J uly 4th an interesting day. There will be a competitive drill between the members of the company, a tar get practice and a dress parade. The boys deserve credit for so manfully sticking together and working for the good of the company. Why can't we have a big Fourth of July celebration? It is a legal holidaj'. Let everybody close up places of business, appoint an orator, a chap lain and a reader, and have a bitr day, and a lot of fire-works at night. W e nave all been working hard Let us have one day given up entirely to pleasure. North Carolina is pa triotic, and many towns in the State are preparing to celebrate the " glo rious fourth.'? Shall Durham, say, "we care nqt for the flag of our fathers, we love not our great coun try? Goldsboro, a few years ago, had a notable celebration. The Plant urges the progressive men to call a meeting and appoint a committee to take the matter in hand. Only two weeks and a very few days inter vene between the present and the 4th of July. Let us second the com mendable enterprise of the D. L. I., and have a rousing time. Auother Sunday School. Durham is a town of factories, it is a town of churches, it is a town of enterprise, but it is pre-eminently a town of Sunday schools. Last Sun day our Presbyterian friends organ ized a new Sunday school. This school meets in No. 21, Morehead avenue, and has already 62 names upon its roll; Messrs. T. B. Fuller and R. G. Lea are the superinten dents, Mr. C. P. Sellars, secretary and treasurer, and Mr. J. H. Woods, librarian. It has a good corps of teachers, and Mr. Geo. Y. Watts will furnish the necessary lesson pa pers and catechisms. The town is girdled with Sunday schools There are now in active operation nine flourishing Sunday schools in the town of Durham. Each of these with only two or three exceptions have, an average atten dance of two hundred or more schol ars. Durham, with prohibition strictly enforced and these Sunday schools healthy and vigorous, can but be a moral town. The business men of the town value other things than money, and are ready to give personal aid and pecuniary encour agement to all enterprises that tend to build up the moral and religious condition of the town. Let the good work go on, gentlemen. Your re ward is two fold, at least. Disgraceful Conduct. On one of the principal streets in Durham, not twenty-four hours ago, three boys about ten or twelve years of age, apparently, were amusing themselves at the expense of an old lady who was quietly passing along the street. The boys would jeer and point their fingers and dance around the old lady. ' This was kept up for several minutes and j for a distance of at least fifty yards, the lady try ing her best to free herself from her tormentors. We know neither the lady nor the boys. We don't care who they are. The boys deserve a genteel thrashing, arid ought to have it. They may have thought it fun, but it was anything else. The only way the old lady became freed was by the intervention of a gentleman, who raised a stick and ran the boys off. Whoever the lady was she is entitled to protection; she has a right to go to and from her home along the streets free from annoyance, and aside from the respect due her sex, her citizenship in Durham entitles her to the use of the streets. If any of these boys hear of this let them remember that their conduct was anything but smart. The Sunday schools ought to do some practical teaching along this line, and if the parents of these young hopefuls will thrash them they will exercise a christian duty. j Durham Directory. This book has been issued. It is a disappointment. There are more errors ana omissions man we naa expected to find, and we don't mean typographical errorseither. In the general directory of names and resi dences, some families are given even to the youngest child- In a number of other instances adults are omitted. The wives of a large number of men are left out. This ought not to be. In our office there are -four married men, neither of whose wives' names is given. That office the publisher of the directory visited several times. Four questions would have supplied the needed information. The Plant don't know that it is necessary to give the names of the wives of any of the citizens, but when a great many are given, as near all as pos sible ought to appear. The biggest mistake is the omis sion of the Durham Fertilizer com pany. We have been unable to find it. It does; not appear under the head of manufactories. The classified part of the directory is very faulty. That is almost inexcusable- The book was not published as a favor to Durham, we opine thiit the publisherJiad an eye to the main chanee, therefore, we say that these Errors, especially in the classified di rectory, are inexcusable. A little time, and patience, and hard work would have done the business.- The names of the principal business houses all appear with the except ion above, and time ought to have been taken to perfect the classification. A few instances : The Messrs. Lyon, Capt. Parrish, Mess's. Stokes, Angier and others, are as much entitled to be called capitalists as several who are so classified. Again : J. B. Duke, president of the company of W. Duke, Sons & Oo.,b. 1. Morgan, president of the Durham Fertilizer Co:yJ. C. Angier, president of the Wooden . Mills ; W. T. Blackwell, president Bank of Durham ; Eugene Morehead, president Morehead & Co's bank ; and W. T. Blackwell, president of street Tail way, ought, it seems to us, to have appeared Under the head "Presidents," if it is neces sary to have such a head. Seven presidents are given, six are omitted. Again : when we turn to the head "Saloons" we expect to find S. R. Carrington and S. F. Arcndall. But no. If they ought not to come un der that head who ought ? : Again : under head of "Managers" Messrs. Hammett, Anderson, Whit akert and Rogers, managers of -the Leaf Tobacco Department, Packing Room, the Box Room and the Print ing office at the Blackwell factory are omitted. But some one may say they are classed as superinten dents. Then Col. Hammett and Mi-. Anderson are both omitted, and Rev. Walker who is Superintendent of B. D. Co-Op. T. Co., is mentioned , under neither "Managers"nor"Super indendents."; The name of the man ager of each department is tacked up against the wall of each depart ment, a glance at each one of these cards and a question would have set th' matter right. Again : under the head of "Socie ties, Lodges, etc ," we fail to find the Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, both of which are flourishing. We do not wish to be considered hypercritical. The mistakes here pointed out are apparent to even a casual examiner. The book is full ot Valuable information, and we hope in ja second edition all the omissions of the first may be supplied. NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. Orang-e County News. Culled from Observer. Little Frank, the seven-year-old soh of Mr. Albert Fauceti. met with a sudden and terrible death Monday j evening last. His father owns a grist and saw mill three miles northwest of town.

Many farmers, who had been plant ing several acres in tobacco, ; have not planted any this year. One far mer informed us, a few days ago, that he has six tobacco barns but did not intend to set oot another to bacco plant. Two years ago we thought that Chatham would soon become one of the leading tobacco counties of the State, but the bad crops. and low prices have so greatly discouraged our farmers that many of them have determined to abandon ihe cultivation of tobacco. i Randolph News. i- rFrom Asheboro Courier.

The Courier chroaicles with regret the death of Mr. Jesse Bobbins, who passed awav at bis home near this place Mav 27th. Mr. Bobbins was one of the landmarks of.the commu nity and was in his 78th year.! For sixty odd years be had been a con sistent member of the Methodist church. He was for a number of years steward of the poor. But his work is ended. Quiet, industrious, honest and unassuming, no one ever heard aught against Jesse KoDDins Peace to his ashes. : I W. C. T. U.

All was done that kind and loving friends could do to alleviate her suffer ings, and, it possioie, to stay tne liana oi Death, but God's will must be done, and on the morning of the fourth of June she passed quietly away, leaving behind her the sweet consolation that all was well. A short while before her degih she called her children around her bed, and gave them such advice as a good mother only could, assuring them that death had no terrors for her. Mrs. Ri;gs was in the 48th year of her age. She leaves a devoted husband, six sons and one daughter ta' mourn their loss. May He who giveth and taketh away comfort them. A r RIEND. COMMERCIAL.
