C. D. Upclmrch, Esq., clerk of tbe Superior Court, on yesterday, took Pearl. Preutice Rosa Minnie Caudle (white) from her mother, who was of lewii character, and appren ticed her to W. .1.

Cla' ton, Secretary of Na tional Farmers' Congress, which will meet at Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the 2(ith of August, statinglthat a free ex cursion would be run on the Union Pacific Railroad to Denver Colorado, and through the Rocky Mountains to the delegates of the said Congress. Attention is again directed to the fact, that (he sidewalk on the south east corner of Wilmington and Har gett street, is frequently so crowded with what appear to be idlers, that it is almost impossible forpei sons, especially ladies, to pass 'J he latter, some times, have to go out into the street to uet by. This state of thingB is getting to be a nuisance, and ought not to be to'erated. Sure ly our police force ought to to attend to it. A Novel Game. Sometime during the first week in September, the married men will play a game of baseball against the single men of this city, for the benefit of the Soldiers' Home. We hope this will be encouraged by a large attendance on that occasion, and the receipts may be large, as we are sure they will be, and the occasion one of much enjoy mint. Captured. Steve Jacobs, the celebrated outlaw of Robeson county, . who was to have been hung in that county a short time since, but escaped, has been cap t ured out in Georgia by Mr. Geo. N. Huf'ry and delivered to Mr. Mc Eacheru, Sheriff of Robeson county. Governor Fowle paid Mr. Hurdry the two hundred dollars reward offered for Jacobs sometime since, therefore another very desperate man will be made to pay the penalty of his crimes.

Let every body who is fond of Ashing and aqua tic sports toke in the occasion It will be a most delightful one. Personal Mention. Mrs. Thos. R. Purnell and Prof Bauinan left this moruiugfor Buffalo Lithia fc-'prngs. Miss Mnggie Bobbitt, a ci arming young lady from Littleton, is visiting friends and relatives in this city. Rev. Dr J. B. Bobbitt, accompan ied by his handsome little son Eck, has returned from Panacea Springs, where they have been having a most delightful time for several weeks. Deputy Sheriff P. H. Johns, who has been confined at his home with sickness for the past two weeks, was iible to come up to the city on yester day but was not able to go on duty. Mrs. C. E. Wood and her interest ing little daughter Fannie, have gone to Birmingham, Ala. We wish them much happiness in their new home. We regret to learn that Mrs. W. N Suelling, who has been quite sick for the past tv o week, is no better Pension Claims. We found our excellent State Audi tor, Hon. George W. f-anderlin, busy iu his office this morning at work on disabled Confederate soldiers' appli' cations for pensions. He has receiv ed between three and four thous and implications from the different county boards, about one thousand less than is on the roll. From some cause or other these ha e failed to be sent in. The Auditor has these ap plications to examine separately and c ireful! v. This requires a large anion nt of painstaking labor. After they have been all passed upon by the Auditor they have to be submit ted to the State Board for their ap proval. This Board consists of Gov, D. G. FoUe, Attorney General, T. F. Davidson and Sthte Auditor, George W. Sanderlin. The claims will be paid about the last of October or the first of November. The State Fair. The State Fair in 1889 was as good as anybody could have wished. It had a crowd of new features, it was conducted with agreatdeal of system and order; so much so that there was not a single arrest during the whole week, and nothipg was lost or stolen. It was meant to be a fair for the peo pie, and the people recognized it as such, and gave it a very liberal pa tronage. The managemei t proposes this year to make it superior in every way, to the last. It is to embrace new features of special interest to the farmer, the mechanic and the educa tor. At the same time, the means of proper amusement will not be neglec ted. N egotiations have already been completed for some of the best and most unique entertainments ever offer ed to the public, and the ground will be crowded with shows and curiosi ties, equaling any that have been seen in the country. The ow rate of fare makes it possible for everybody to come, and the abundant crops which the season now promises, will make it a matter of duty for our peo ple to come together for a week's hol iday and happiness. It nakes the best of us mad all over to be told the truth about ourselves. A Nice Entertainment. The entertainment given by the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of the Baptist Tabernacle last night, was one of the most en joyable it has been our pleasure to attend, A select audience assembled by special invitation, and the de lightful programme which had been prepared, was rendered in a happy and interesting manner. The pro gramme was as follows: Opeug Chorus Society. Instrumental Duet, piauo and or ganMiss Mamie Jordan and Mr. S. M. Parish, Jr. Recitation Miss Maggie Ferrell. Vocal Duet Miss Effie Bronghton and Miss Genevieve Jordan. Recitation Mr. W. B. Tarkinton. Song Male Quartette Messrs.Har ris, Cheek, Youug and Yearby. Vocal Solo Miss Loula Garrell. Select Reading Prof. J. E. Math eny. Song Male Quartette. The audience appreciated the ef- forts of those who rendered the pro- gramme and keut in a hanrjv vein of gramme and kept in a happy vein of humor throughout the entire even ing. A word about those whn tr.ru nt in the programme, we think, will not be anii 88 The instrumental duet on the piano by Miss Mamie Jordan and Mr. S. M. Parish, Jr., was rendered in an ac complished manner and reflected great credit upon these two young people as performers on that instru ment. Miss Maggie Ferrell's recitation was superb. It was an excellent sub ject and was delivered with a charm ing grace that captivated the audi ence. She certainly possesses no small degree of talent in this direction. The recitation by Mr. W. B. Tarkin ton was very good and was highly en joyed and appreciated. The songs by the male quartette it is useless to say were delightful as our people are too well aware of this fact and we need only to mention that they were there and sung The vocal solo by Miss Loula Gar rell, of Wilmington, was charming and delightful. She possesses such a rich soft voice and the melody that poured from her lips was exquisite and enrapturing. The entire audience was convulsed at the laughable selection which Prof, J. F. Matheny read. Mr. Badham, although not down on the regulor programme, helped to contribute to the enjoyment of the evening by singing a selection and accompanying herself on the piano. At the conclusion of the programme everyooay joined in at once in , ... , . ..... I having an excellent and sociable time Light refreshments . were served by : . " 1 the society to all present. T , , . , . . instrumental and vocal miisin wor,.' indulged in and happiness was de- j picteu on every nana, uuring the' evening Miss Edwards, of Henderson, a j i sang to the delight of all. Her rendi tion of, "If you love me, answer with a kiss," was bewitching. She is a fine singer and was complimented on every hand. Mrs. C. C. Jordan and others rendered some excellent instu mental selections. Hon. R. M. Humphrey, of Houston, Texas National Superintendent of colored alliance of the United States will deliver a public lecture at the court house tonight at 7:30. All are invited to come out and hear him. London, Aug. 19. Davis Dalton. an American, has accomplished the feat of swimming the English Chan nel from Grisnez to Folkestone on his back in twenty three and a half hours. He finished strong.
