The tug Marion is being- overhauled and painted. ; Some of our truckers expect to bring squaches to market this week. Wilmington raised Irish potatoes and "beans were plentiful in the market yes terday. The board of audit and finace will hold its regular meeting at 3:30 p. m. Tuesday. The first huckleberries of the sea Bon were in market yesterday. They retailed at 20 cents per quart. The new buildings rif - being erect ed in our midst, show t'Aat. Wilmington is still alive, and that its business men are aeiermmeu luil nc rmj with the8 times. Mr. H. A. Kure gives notice that the Carolina Beach Pleasure Club is open for the season. He invites the ladies and gentlemen to call and try their hands at ten pins, billiards and pool. , A heavy rain and thunder storm passed over this city last evening be tween 7 and 8 o'clock. The streets were were running rivers for a while. The rain is quite welcome to ,our truckers. The alarm of fire from box 49 shortly after 2 o'clock this morning was be cause of fire in a small out house on an alley between Church, and Castle, be tween Fifth and Sixth streets. The damage was slight. The shipment of strawberries over the Wilmington and Weldon railroad to northern markets yesterday was about 3,000 crates. This will , about wind up the shipment. Peas, beans and pota toes will now go forward. After having; attended . the Masonic meetings here the past week, Messrs. W. S. LiddelL D. G. Maxwell. T. R. Robertson, B. D. Springs, I. E. Allen, George Campbell, and S. L. Parks, left yesterday afternoon for their homes in Charlotte. Mr. John F.

This is a very worthy object and one that should be encouraged by a large audience. The dates and pro gramme will be announced later. Complaint is made that Front street, near the market is in a filthy condi- tion every Sunday morning. Formerly on Saturday nights the street hands cleaned the streets about midnight (11 o'clock), after the carts had left, but now the street is cleaned at 9:30 o'clock p. m., and as the carts still have two hours or more to stand in the street they litter up the streets again after they have been cleaned.
