Special and iinportai t meeting of
the Board of Aldermen tonight.
Prayer meeting at the Christian

Senator Ransom denies that he
said the elect'on bill would pass the
Senate. The Senator thinks it doubt
ful. The thanks of the community are
due to Mayor Thompson and his effi
cient police force for the splen
did order preserved here on the 4th
inst. This comes late, but is still
true in all respects. No better city
government in the United States.
The 4th of July is gone. Now let
us all turn our attention to the State
Fair, and unite in getting up one of
the best exhibitions North Carolina
has ever had. We beat all tho cities
of the Union on the 4th; let's beat
all the remainder of the universe in
the way of a Stat Fair.
It will be well for owners of real
estate to note the proposed meeting
of the county commissioners on the
14th inst., for the purpose of hearing
complaints relative to the assessed
valuation of property for taxation.
North Carolina now stands second
to Georgia in the amount of railroad
building for the first six months of
1890. The figures are 168 miles,
Can't we get an extension of the
Albemarle and Raleigh road during
the next year ? It ought to be done
by all means.
Everybody in the eastern section of
Wake county is talking about and
hoping for the extension of the Albe
marl nd Raleigh railroad. They
hav- splendid crops in prospect and
it is strange that Raleigh folks do not
interest themselves in offering trans
portation for it.
Mr Chester ft Whiting of the firm
of .Whiting Bro, spent last summer in
Fort Payne, Ala. He regards this Lot
spell of weather as delightful com
pared with the heat down there. He
says the nights there though are
about 10 degrees cooler than here on
account of the mountain breezes, but
in the sun, it is scorcLing. In walk
ing down Gault avenue to the post
office at midday, he says his silk um
brella was warped inside outward by
the intense heat.
Harper's Bazar prints this "compo
sition" on Gtorge Washington, the
work of a nine year old boy: "George
Washington was the father f his
country, one day he went to his fa
ther's yard and cut down a tree. What
are you doin asked his father i am
trying to tell a lie and cannot when
he grew up he was president and was
killed by a man named getto who
was jellish of bim and the no 9 engine
house was draped in black."
Appointment.

some time been a clerk in the law
office of Col J W Hinsdale has been
appointed to a clerkship in the Citi
zens National Bank. This is a most
admirable selection, as Mr Young
Eossesses business qualifications of the
ighest order and is a most exemplary
gentleman.

Important Meeting.
The 5th of August has been chosen
as the time for the opening of the
North Carolina State Tobacco Asso
ciation meeting at Morehead City.
The very best accommodations have
been secured and the outlook is good
for a very large attendance. We hope
that Wake county may be well rep
resented and that much may be done
to foster and encourage the great
interest we have in tobacco raising.

Rey. J. T. Bagwell and wife, of
Matthews, N. C, spent yesterday in
the city. Mr. Bagwell says extensive
preparations are being made for the
Hickory Grove campmeeting this year
Instead of being conducted on the
old impromptu campmeeting style, a
regular programme will be made out,
special sermons being delivered by
special appointed preachers. A large
platform, capable of accommodating
one hundred persons, being erected
for the choir. Two organs and a cor
net will be used in leading the sing
ing. Charlotte Chronicle.
A movement was started at the
Teachers' Assembly, which met at
Morehead week before last, looking
to the formation of a Western North
Carolina Teachers' Association. One
of the principal reasons for this step
was the permanent location of the
North Carolina Teachers' Association
in Morehead, in the far east, remote
from the west. The first meeting of
the new association will be held in
Lenoir in November. Lenoir Topic.

A Trip to Eagle Rock Section -
A Pleasant Day Among Con
genial Friends.
We availel ourselves yesterday, of
an opportunity to visit the fiaglo
Rock Section of Wake county, and
Indulge in an "outing," in the way of
piscatorial indulgence at the wi lely
known pond of Mr.A. B. Marshburue,
known as Avera's pond. It is situa
ted within about a mile of the main
Tarboro road, near what is usually
termed as New Eagle Rock. For years
the pond has been noted for the quan
tity of fish caught, and for the wild
and werid appearance of the pon 1
generally. We much doubt if there
is a simular sheet of water in this a c
tlon of the State. The pond is per
haps about two and a half miles long
and very wide. It is thickly studded
with tall cypre s tresg.through which,
except at intervals, in places ca'led
fiats, it is difficult to steer a boat
We left Raleigh at about 3 o'clock
a m. behind one of our friend Bob
Parham's steeds, and arrived at our
destination, thirteen mil. s, in two
and a half hours, t J aving arrived at
our destination, we lost no time in
taking advantage of the early morn
ing to wet our hooks, which was re
warded in duo time in the capture of
some sp'endid ppecies of the "finny
tribe."
During the day the occasion was
rewarded with the pleasure of a visit
from several of the sturdy farmers of
the vicinity, prominent among whom
was our ever genial and popular
friend, Capt John Smith, who some
times adds the pleasures of fishing to
the arduous duties of a farmer. The
Captain seems to take this life with
as much philosophy as any man we
know. No matter "how the cat hops"
he is in a good humor, and plies his
hook in such a manner as would make
him the dread of all who come in con
tact with him as a competitor for pis
catorial honors- In this case, how
ever.the Captain added business with
pleasure, and during the day, he held
in connection with Squire Marsh
burne, a Justice's Court, in which
"equal and exact justice" was meted
out to an American citizen of African
descent, who attempted to take the
law in his own hands by whipping a
diminutive urchin for trespassing on
his cotton patch. We were particu
larly struck with two oi the witnesses
in the case. One of them, a colored
woman bore striking resemblance to
our ideal of Meg Merriles (all but
color), and her male companion would
have been pronounced by most liter
ary critics as an exact counterpart of
Shakespeare's immortal King Lear,
(again excepting the hue of his skin.)
There were a goodly number of neigh
bors present, and when the decision
of the court was rendered, it was re
ceived with that spirit of resignation
on the part of the loser in the case,
that always characterizes the law
abiding citizens of our Republic. We
found that Capt Smith is extremely
popular with his folks generally.They
all seem to honor him and look upon
him with confidence. We could but
be struck with the aforesaid "Meg
Merriles" (in fancy) when after giving
in her evidence, she stamped her foot
firmly, and said: "You know Mars
John, I'se telling the naked truth."
Friend Smith nodded the familiar as
sent of Judges generally.
Our friend Mr Marshburne, the pro
prietor of the mill, paid us as much
attention as if we had been thePrince
of Wales, instead of a mere newspa
per Bohemian. He never tired of
hospitalities, and fearing that our in
nei man might suffer, he had prepar
ed a fish fry of the ff nest denizens of
his pond. We did justice to this part
of the occasion with a relish that a
newspaper man rarely omits.
The gentleman (Mr Ellis) in charge
of the mill had gone to Raleigh, leav
ing Mr.A S. Weathers in his place and
just here we muBt say that never have
we been the recipients of more kind
ness at the hands of a host than we
received from Mr Weathers. He seem
ed to anticipate everything to make
our visit comfortable, and he has our
lasting thanks.
It is but a repetition to say that
the crops are magnificent and the
people iu that section of old Wake in
the best of spirits. It was a most
agreeable and enjoyable trip, with
presence of kind friends to cheer us.
We returned to the city last night
highly delighted, and with the firm
belief that the people of the Eagle
Rock Section are among the best and
most hospitable in North Carolina.
