Another matter presents itself for
the consideration of Wayne Magis
trates. The Broad hurst bridge was

auction to the lowest bidder. It was

by one of the Commissioners, w ho
made the contract with the bidder
md specified what work was to be
lone and if any other work was
necessary he should do that in pro-
ortion to his bid and specifications
given by the Commissioner. After
this trade was made, another Com
missioner came down and made a
lifferent and private trade. Now
sir, this will be another slip up in
trie bridge business. It will cost
Wayne county not less than $200 and
I hope not more than 400.
1 think the county will not be
cheated if the Magistrates will elect
a new Board of Commissioners. I
for one say let the old Hoard be re-
leved of the arduous duties that
have been imposed o!i them. Give
us a new Board of Commissioners or
fair play to all laboring men, other
wise the county will be bankrupted.

There was a large gathering of
ladies and gentlemen at the palatial
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Asher
Edwards, last night, who came there
in response to handsome invitations
sent out to attend a confirmation re
ception in honor of their daughter,
Miss Charlotte.
After extending happy congratu
lations to the young lady, the assem
bled guests repaired to the spacious
dining room where a feast of good
things awaited them, which was
conclude'd by several toasts. After
supper the company enjoyed them
selves in dancing, which was kept up
till the small hours in the morning.
The presents showered upon Miss
Charlotte by a host of relatives and
friends from at home and abroad,
were numerous and costly, silent but
weighty testimonials of the high es
teem in which the young lady is
held by them. Words being too
tame to describe this magnificent
reception, where elegance and refine
ment and luxury and hospitality
reigned supreme, we can only pro
nounce it one of the most brilliant
and enjoyable occasions ever given
in this city.
A Model Hotel.
The wonder of those who jro to
Wilmington and stop at "The Pur
cell," is that so excellent a table and
such comfortable rooms can be offer
ed to the public at such minimum
rates, "The Purcell," as acknow
ledged by press and public is one of
the best kept hotels in North Caro
lina and perhaps in the South. Mr.
C. T. Bennett, the manager, is one of
the cleverest of hotelists and always
pleases his guests. This popular
hotel is crowded daily, and it de
serves to be.
