THEE JEDlRESSim ERMiERliIli2i, ;1887,
- THIS BAJBY OE OUR?.f , ?
There is not a blossom of beautiful May,
Silver of daisy or daffodil gay, - v
Nor the rosy bloom of apple-tree flowers,
Fair as the face of this baby of ours.
" You can never find on a bright June day
A bit of fair sky so cheery and gay.' ; -;
Nor the hazC oni;he'hin,in noonday hours ;
Blue as the eyes of this baby of ours.
. ..There's not a murmur of wakening bird " '
The clearest, sweetest, that ever was heard
' In the tender bush of the dawn's still hours,
Blue as the eyes of this baby of ours. ' ,
C There's no gossamer silk nor tasseHed corn,
. No flimsiest thread of the shy wood fern,
Not even the cobweb spread over the flowers
Fine as the hair of this baby of ours.
There's no fairer shell by the sounding sea,
No wild rose that nods on the windy lea,
No blush of the sun through summer 6howers,
Pink as the palms of this baby of ours. f s
-
May the dear Lord spare her to us, we pray,
For many a long and sunshiny day.
Ere he takes to bloom in Paradise bowers,
This wee bit darling this baby of ours.

The Wilmington Star says : On
Monday night Mrs. Robert Phillips
committed suicide by swallowing two
ounces of laudanum. Mrs. Phillips,
who has . been married about six
months, was suffering from a very
painful ailment, and a neighbor, a lady,
gave her the usual dose of laudanum.
She took the bottle home, and about
2 o'clock at night, awoke her husband
and told him that she had taken all
the laudanum. The husband at once
went for a doctor, who did all in his
power to resuscitate her, but it was
too late. It is thought the lady was
suffering from melancholia. She was
from Fayetteville.

it is thought. There is a good
chance of the "cotton, factory being es
tablished in Kinston. A stock com
pany? of $70,000, has been organized
and near $50,000 of stock is already
taken. Our moneyed men should cer
tainly not let this chance slip tnem to
start the establishing of manufactories
in our midst and to start the town to
growing again. Subscribe liberally
to the stock it is almost certain to be
a paying investment.. Taking no
other consideration into view, it is a
moneyed man's duty to his fellow be
ings to furnish work to people by in
vesting in enterprises of this nature.
To look at it in a selfish point of view,
it is as safe an investment as can be
made and will, besides greatly enhance
the value of what other property you
may own' in Kinston and vicinity.
Don't let this chance fall through.
News and Obsereer: Agreeable to a
resolution passed at the last meeting
of the board of agriculture, prepara
tions have been commenced by the de
partment of agriculture to make the
largest and best possible exhibit of the
State's resources at the next State
fair. ' " ' .
In view of several important facts,
it is certain that the next fair will be
more largely attended than' any ever
held heretofore. . Raleigh itself offers
attractions and inducements in the
way of paved and' sprinkled streets,
hotel accommodations, and there is
every reason to believe that the Pres
ident of the United States will .be
present. These things will bring the
largest gathering to the capital city
ever known in its history and it is
very proper that the people of the
State should see its products and re
sources to the best advantage. The
exhibit of gems, nuggets and precious
stones will be uhexceptionably large
and handsome. Besides the State col
lections, several private collections will
be shown, and a wider practical knowl
edge of this feature "of the resources
of the State given than eyer before

An old darkey who had done no

fifty cents as a farm hand. Deter

circumstances, the ignorant old fellow
indignantly remarked :
