NOTICE.
The proprietors of the Visitor are
always anxious and willing to ac
commodate their patrons as far as it
can be done without detriment to the
interests of the paper, or injustice to
oar friends. Oar space is limited,
and in order to make the columns at
tractive, the matter should be as va
ried as possible. 1 he numerous nom
lnations for official preference, thus
early in the campaign, will prove too
heavy on our columns for gratuitous
insertion, and, hence, we feel under
the necessity of adopting a scale of
rates for the insertion of such cards,
or communications. Hereafter
charge of twenty-five cents an inch
(eight lines) or less, will be made for
such insertions.

high character of the entertainments
given, is a sumcient guarantee oi
what the public may expect. It
is twenty miles, North east from the
city, and one of the best roads in the
country leading to it. We can as
sure all who may attend, a most en
joyable occasion, and that they will
be repaid, for the community is com,
posed of a genoreus,, whole hearted
neoDle. who take just pride in the
40 hool in their midst.
The ExcurslonYesterday A De
lightful Time and a sate lie
turn. For several weeks past, the excur
sion of the Baptist Tabernacle Sun
day School to Tarboro has been the
great theme of conversation, and was
ooked for with the greatest interest.
n accordance with arrangements the
train, consisting of eleven coaches
eft the Union depot yesterday morn
ing at 7 o'clock sharp. While most of
the coaches were filled, there was no
inconvenience experienced, as such
had been the precaution, that all
were provided for, with convenience
and comfort. Two of the coacheB
were locked to accommodate those
who should join the excursion on the
way
On the route many additions were
made and the train arrived in Tar
boro filled with as joyful a crowd of
innocent amusement seekers as can
well be imagined. The destination
being reached, the excursionists were
cordially welcome.! in a neat speech
from Rev Mr Hundley, pastor of the
Baptist Church, at Tarboro. And.by
the way, it can here be asserted with
propriety, that he is one of the clev
erest as he is one of the most popular
gentlemen to be found anywhere
The speech of welcome was responded
to by Rev J J Hall, pastor of the
Tabernacle Church in this city, in a
splendid and appropriate manner,
thanking the good people of Tarboro
fortheir kind reception.MayorThornp
son followed Rev Mr Hall, in a speech
abounding in just tributes to the
people of Tarboro, for their devotion
to every duty incumbent upon them
and alluding in the most complimen
tary terms to the spirit of enterprise
and energy seen on all sides, by the
development of manufacturing estab
lishments. The speech of the mayor
was a characteristic one and deliver
ed in most eloquent style.
S S Nash, Esq, responded on be
half of Mayor Clark, to the speech of
Major Thompson, after which NB
Broughton, Esq, the admirable and
greatly beloved superintendent of the
Tabernacle Sunday-school made a
most appropriate address, in which
he laid down "the order of the day,"
stating that .each and all could now
proceed to enjoy themselves in such
manner as their inclinations might
suggest. These remarks were
happily received and most promptly
acted upon, and the cravings of
hunger were looked after. Amid the
beautiful shade which abounded on
every side there was such a spread of
all the good things of life as to tempt
the most fastidious epicure, and well
were they discussed by all present.
Lunch being over the crowd passed
the time in roaming over the beauti
ful town, and eu joying the kind words
and greetings of its hospitable people.
Mayor Clark was no 1 and and used
every effort in his power to make the
excursionists feel perfectly at home.
While he did not indulge, usually, in
public speaking, laying no claims to
oratory, it was the unanimous ver
dict of all present, that he cannot b e
excelled in the generosity which goes
to make up the "big hearted", gen
tleman, He made all feel that they
were among most cordial friends, and
did much to bind the chords of friend
ship into a lasting tie. In fact, he
was profuse in his kindness, turning
over his horse and buggy for the spe
cial use of Bey Mr Hall during the
day.
We met up with and made the ac
quaintance of many, numbered
among whom may be mentioned Mr
Powell, editor of the Southerner.who
did the journalistic courtesies by
every act of kindness in his power.
Col John W Cot ten extended us many
cordial favors as did also Mr Sharp,
one of the foremost business men of
the town.
' Indeed it can be truly said that all
the people with whom we came in
contact earnestly endeavored to make
the trip of the excursionists in every
way agreeable and pleasant, and well
did they succeed.
After a day spent in: what may
be termed unalloyed enjoyment, the t
excursionists boarded the train about
4 o'clock "homeward bound," and ar-!
rived in Raleizh at 8:30. after one of
the most delightful trips we have
ever participated in.
Mr R H Bradley, chairman of the
committee of arrangements, with
whom was associated Messrs J M
Broughton aud T B Moseley, deserve
special credit for their untiring zeal
and earnest work in making such a
complete success of the occasion. To
these gentlemen can be added a large
number of the school whose unremit
ting exertions went, far towards
crowning the day with all the eclat
that could possibly have been ex
pected.
Thus has ended one of those social
events that go so far towards binding
us together in the bonds of friend
ship. It will be an occasion long to
be remembered, and will be the
theme of many a reminiscence in the
family circle. It will be long before
the "trip to Tarboro" fades from the
memor of those who participated.
It was indeed a most welcome respite
from the cares of daily life, and one
that we sincerely hope may be
often repeated as the years roll by.
We learn that the excursion was a
financial success; a statement which,
of course, will add much to the grat
ification of the occasion.
We cannot accord. too much p-aise
to Capt W H Newell, of the Atlantic
Coast Line, and Capt P J Brown, of
the R&D R R, who acted as con
ductors. They discharged their du
ties in a manner that won the admi
ration of all.
A Delightful Party.
The Lawn Party on Post Office
Green given by the King's Daugh

success last night that it will be con
tinued tonight. Let-everybody come.
