Our Governors.
In a notice yesterday concerning
the change of the name' of Martin
street, w. stat d that Gov. "Martin
was the first Governor, i his is not
so, as we find by reference Leaving
out the proprletarv Governors, Rich
ard Caswell was the first, having been
chosen by the General Assembly of
1776. Alexander -Martin was the
fourth Governor, having been elected
in 1783. He wafrc-m Guilford coun
ty and was succeeded by Richard
Caswell of Lenoir, in 1784, but was
again elected in 1789.

City Cemetery.
We have heretofore called attention
to the fact that many of the graves
iu the Old City Cemetery are in a
bad condition and, of course, the ef
Sclent sexton, Mr. Seth Jones, can do
but little unless he is authorized. We
hope that ss manv of the relatives
and friends, ss possible of deceased
persons, will see to it that these
graves are troiind d, turfed, efo It
is not creditable to us. that the last
resting place of so taauv of our la
mented dead sbo'ili be allowed to
fall into decav Mr Jones is always
on Land ready to fill al orders left
with him The cost of such work
would be small in comparison with
the consolation it will bring to sur
viving relatives.
