A short time ago ' a man named Newton came here from 'Bafeigh to work In a factory. .With hie family was an orphan girl named Ada Brooke, niece of hie wife, who . was pre viously taken from an orphan asylum to live with them.

The girl remained in the latter surroundings uutll last Sunday when she died, leaving an Infant amonth old. 'During her sickness kind people Of the town cared for her. The girl made repeated statements that Newton was the author f her ruin: he asked for a Christian burial, which wae given her efondav. The people of the town be came very indignant over the ruin and death of the girl and Monday evening J net before ' 6 o'clock a representative committee of 21 citizens went to the fac tory where Newton worked, read the following note to him and gave him ropy: ' : "Mr. Julius Newton, Greenville, N. C: "lour conduct, which, in the general opinion of this community, ha caused the death of Mis! Ada Brooks, has been such as to cause the people of this com munity to feel extremely Indignant and Las led them to the conclusion that you Are no lonerer a fit subject for a cltiseu of this community. Your conduct is moat unnatural crime. We ad vise you that It will be to the interest of good morals, and to your Interest, that you leave this community as speedily as po sible, not to exceed 48 hours from this date. This 5 o'clock p. m., June 23, 1802."

Mr. Editor: : The attention of our couuty commis sioners was called through your paper a ie w days ago to the condition of one of tbe Nlough bridges across the road lead ing from KInaton to the iron bridge, but hey have as yet failed to repair It. This piece of road Is traveled more than any coad in Lenoir county, and it Is a shame that the public should be forced to use the old river road which Is a perfect sand bed, and along which the air is rank with tbe odor of dead horses and filth from the town. As the slough bridge must be repaired sooner or later,, why not repair it now and avoid this Incon venience to the public. The people who live on the south eiJa of the river are very much annoyed over the delay of our jomtnisoloners.

This bulletin Is generally taken as be ing the first occasion npon which tbe king's doctors have allowed themselvrs to express, even to a small degree, the hopeful feellnfrs they undoubtedly, though privately, entertain. Thirty-six houo have now elapsed sluce the operati i was performed, and the absence of com plication! creates hopefulness in all quarters, although as has been frequently said in these dispatches, several date must pass before the possibility of dan ger can be eliminated.

The following statement was made this afthrnoon on the highest medical authority ' Until the tubes now draining tbe cav ity of the abscess have been withdrawn it will be impossible to feel certain that the King will pull through. What his physicians have now to fear Is that peritonitis or hemorrhage may su pervene. There must always be thie danger In such cases. Again it is a fact that an absceus due to perityphlitis mar have a fatal home without any warning symptoms. All the indications are often masked nntil tbe post mortem, and there are many cases on record where the dm eafe was only discovered after deajti from an extraneous caue1, mich h an accidnt.
