The board of county ...nuiissioner.
at their meeting on Monday last, pa-ssed
the following resolution:
Whereas, An association ha.s been
formed and efforts axe being made to
have a State exposition during the coin
ing fait, and whereas, in order to secur
the tallest benefits from such an enter
prise, it is necessary that a full exhibit ,
of the industries and resources of the
State be made on the occasion, and es
pecially is it necessary tha: th; eastern
portion of the State have a fair and
proper display of its products and ad
vantages, that its resources may be
made known and an interest in its de-
elopment awakened; it is therefore re- I
sol-red br the board of commissioners ;

' fiheriff Davis and N. J. Rouse. Esq..

s Council B. "Wootan, eccompanied by
' his daughter and son. left here for their
- horns, hi Alabama, last Saturday.
- The weather Is beautiful, and the
small crowds in town are evidences that
farmers are toxnlng it to good ac-cunt.
Commercial travelers in town as fol
, low: Taesday 8, Wednesday 5, Thurs-
- day 4, Friday 3. And Saturday to hear
from.
A runaway horse made it little ex
citing Friday morning. The breaking
of the pump handle was the most of the
damage done.
The population of oar township has
been increased by the arrival of a little
" stranger of the male persuasion in the
famHj of S. I- Wooten, Esq. How does
- this suit the tastes of "Trent Bridge' 7
-- The fine spring-like weather is making
oor otherwise unemployed citizens turn
.their attention river-ward and crek
ward. A nehrap was taken from here
to Bear creek, Friday, where it will be
located so ae to extricate the finny tribe
from its waters.
Si-L -Wooten earns near being serious-
ly hurt one day this week. On arriving
home) from town, before loosing the
: hone be attempted to take tome castings
1 from the buggy. The bone became
frightened and- ran off, carrying Mr. S.
- with the baggy. Fortunately he was
released before seriously hurt.
- A much needed work is being done on
.our streets. The sidewalk from the
.corner of Caswell street and South Rail
40&d street, in the direction of the hotel,
- is being raised, and also a walk is being
stnade from the some corner to the rail
zoad. -" For sometime these places, in
wret weather, bare been' perfect mud

ss why the work was not done before.
At a meeting of the town oommiasion
rs held to-day (Tuesday) "Judge"
Sattoa and D. C Mnrchison were elected
comm issioaers to fill tha unexpired term
of Fully and Warters. The office is one
eof trust, profit eUid honor, mn abundance
of abase and "tat ss ing," and what
snakes it so enjoy this is the source from
which the abuse and "cussing" comes.
- Dr. Barker arrived hero Monday
morning, and lectured in the High
. .. fte.Kfl building Monday night to a full
kosue. -The Doctor has visited our
' place before, bat the crowded house on
: Monday Bight shows that his lectures
- are appreciated and ever new. To one
who has never beard aim before, and to
. ' others, I imagine, there is something
interesting,, entertaining and instruo
.-. tive.- He will remaia and lecture for
' four or five nights of which I will speak
- ..hereafter.
- ' Capt. Davis' school is in a prosper-
- - 4oes -oonditiou and doing good work.
- Five States are . reprtsented, and the
aptakv aas a reputation as teacher
-. second to but Tew in the State. Pro
cessor Walker and Starke, his assist -,
Ants, are gentlemen of fine abilities,
.-. j graduates of the University of Virginia,
. -which is of itself sufficient as to their
attainmenta. Upon the whole La Orange
- lias two schools, well patronised, well
). cod ducted, well taught. Our town is
- email and pupils are not exposed to the
. vices that may exist in larger places;
- the-Jocality is healthv and those desiring
--so send their children to boarding
schools will find it to their interest to
- send them here. '
The Collegiate Institute is in as pros
perous condition as at any time since
' Its establishment. New pupils are be
ing received nearly every day, and
while setae hsye left, the average at
teadaacb is as good as during the fall
term. While the friends and patrons
of the school regret Mr. Joyner s with
drawal, they find Prof. Skinner to be a
- man thoroughly competent and in every
respect worthy to fill his place. He is a
, graduate of our State University, has
.had considerable experience in fetch
ing, and cornea highly recommended.
Prof. Williams, who now has control of
Che institution , is a man of rare abilities
.as a scholar and teacher. Miss Addie
Kirkpatrick still has charge of the Pri-
mary Department, and is an ardent,
aealooa teacher, too well known to re
. qttire any meed of praise from us. The
i school deserves and ia receiving a first
i rate patronage. I have said this much
rat the beginning of the spring term of
the seas ion, and I know whereof I speak.

Our Junes county correspondent
makes a good suggestion to the people .
of that fertile county in regard to the
State Exposition. We hops tho sug
gestion will be heeded. They will
never regret making a creditable dis
play. Notwithstanding the dull times
there are a number of shops springing
up in the country sections as indicated
by the fact that a dozen applications a
week are made upon the deputy collec
tor of Internal Revenue for tobacco
license.

We desire to have F.astern North

climate is capable of producing.

Mr. John O. Gardner, the inevitable
Greeubacker of New Berne, has posted
up notices in the city of the .4mericai
Sentry, the organ of the Greenbaek La
bor party, in which he calls upon the
people to watcli as well as pray or they
will be preyed upon. He posted one at
the court house door, but along comes
Sheriff Habn and slaps his delinquent
tax list right on it. thus hiding from the
oeonle those timely words of warning
against Republican and Democratic rule
which the Sentry tells how to overthrow.

the sheriff may have intended merely
to remind the people what to do with
the greenbacks after thtiy got theni-
Real Eatate tor Taxes.
The Sheriff has hung up a bundle of
papers at the court house door contain
ing the names of persons whose property
is advertised for taxes. Every year
this same farce of selling lands for taxes
is gone through with, many of the
owners of the land paying no attention
to jt. We believe one cause of this care
lessness on the part of the land owner
in allosving hii lands to be sold for
taxes is because the Sheriff' deed un
der such sales are not considered good.
But if the Sheriffs would comply strictly
with the law. delinquents would not
allow their lands to be sold for taxes,
especially svheie the land is of any
value. Nosy section 3(i'Jl of the Code
provides how land shiill be sold for
taxes, and in connection with that we
beg leave tf) call the Sheriff's attention
to section 410. and we now inform him

tenths of the people who had to build
the road were opposed to it. y.-t the
commissioners d id establish it : that they
.the people refused to work the road,
were indicted and w eie ae.pi.tt-- 1 upon
some llaw found in the mil of indict
ment by their counsel, and were com
pelled afterwards to build it. and now
since they have done the work, whi ii
was a heavy burden to them. th-commissioners
are considering the .pi -'.1 -n
of discontinuing rather than I uild a
bridge, which he says will not c-.-t over
one hundred dollars. From his stand
point the commissioners mm Id certainly
do the people a great inju-ti f r fu-c
the bridge and discontinue the io.t I
after they had been compelled, against
their wishes, to build it. Of the useful
ness or necessity of the road we know
nothing stbout. This is something the
commissioners ought to have considered
well before it was established. Mr.
I pock states that it will save the people
of that section in traveling to New
Berne a distance of three miles. He
further states that one gentleman in the
neighborhood, Mr. Freeman Ernul. says
the bridge if built would be worth to
him alone SijOO. However this may be.
there is one thing the commissioners
ought to do and do it at once, and that
is. st tt'tf the matter onf irm or tin' othrr,

Rev. G. W. Sanderlin gave us a plcas
ent call on Friday. He was enroute for
Elizabeth City via th: Sheiiamlouh. tak
ing along with him eleven select hands
from the Bear creek neighborhood.
Lenoir county, under the charge of Mr.
W. Garris. who understands working
improved machinery, which he is going I
to introduce on his extensive farm in '
Pasquotank. He expects to revolution- j
ize that section by the use of modern (
improved macuinery. anu we tninK ne
is the right man to do it. One of the
machines he intends introducing is the
Chicago Screw Pulverizer, and wiil
show the farmers in that section that
one hand and four mules wjth this pul
verizer will do the work of pine hands
and nine mules. It is used for Hushing,
or flat breaking tho soil, for seeding the
land and for cultivating the crop. He
says the six-horse power of this machine
has proven a failure in the South, being
too heavy; but the four-horse power,
which he is going to us is a perfect
success.
Mr. Sanderlin is a progressive as well
as a practical farmer. He has recently
removed five thousand stumps from his
plantation on Bear creek in order to in
troduce labar-savipg machinery. He is
a pioneer in the cultivation of high
land rice. He manured and cultivated
sixteen acres last year which yielded
forty bushels per acre and brought in
the market about S43 per acre. He lias
some practical ideas on the manuring
and cultivation of this crop, which he
ha piomised to formulate and make
public through the J ckaL in a few
days. His article published in tne
Kinston Journal four years ago was
interesting and gave the subject a boom .
He has doubtless gathered some new
ideas on the subject iu four years and
we hope to lay them before our readers
in time for planting the crop this year.
The Flood.
The terrible floo s which brought so
much destruction lo property in Un
sprung of lb83 are about to be repeated.
The Alleghaney. the Monongahula. the
Yougheogheny . the Big Sanday and
other tributaries of the Ohio, are on a
rampage. At Cincinnati, on Friday
night, the 8th inst., the water had risen
62 feet -H inches and a still further rise
was expected. At Pittsburgh between
5.000 and 6.000 buildings were sub
merged, which were the residences of
about 2.1.00:1 people. 10. 000 of whom
were compelled to leave their homes.
The damages is estimated to be $3,000.
000. At Wheeling there was great dis
tress, more damage being tlone to
property than was ever ex periete ed
there before. The Wheeling Cheese
Company estimated their loss at about
S50,OO0. We give below a summary of
the situation at other points as gleaned
from our exchanges.

Robert W.

I orougnt over some nice smoked bacon.
( which he sold f or 1 2 i cents per pound,
j hog round. Old man Ward is one of
! our well-to-do farmers who lives near
the pocosin and cultivates swamp lands.
He said he believed he would not sell
any more bacon yet awhile, but would
j wait a while for a better price.
; I have been informed that a Mr. Grif
, tin. of Kinston. has been to Trenton
' looking around and intends opening a
buggy shop. Trenton is looking up in
! her old days. In olden time, before the
war. tne euuor oi tne isesv r.'ine
j Protjres pushed through Trenton and in
bis ne-.-i- :,,i,,i,r ho sni,l thnt Tre, .. ....
, "a finished town, for he never heard the I
...
souna oi a saw or hammer in the town.
Should he pass there now he w ouhl
certainly think that a great revolution
, had taken the place ot the olden time.
Mr. Thomas Han is,,,, , ,-as,M.,c

1 cleared fortv vers a -o a t i of 1.U i
swamp land" ami lit. lias been cultivating j
11 ever since every year and that the
corn on it last ve.ir ss as as good as it
vsus the year he first cultivated it.
There are thousands of acres of just
such swamp land in this pocosin which,
with a little capital, might be drained
and cleared and would make from six
to ten barrels of corn per acre. Mr.
Harrison says that no one can expect all
of these pocosin lands to produce to that
extent, but ail heads of branches lead- I
ing from the pocosin and all where thp
gum trees gvosv will mako good corn. !
strangers may ask why uon t your pco-;
f k . n . i.. , is ii uuai
uuraoie swamp lauus anu we can
answer with truth that the owners of
such lands are generally poor and have
not the means to bring them into culti
vation. 1 would like to suggest to our citizens
the importance of taking steps to have
Jones county represented in the great
exposition that will be held in Raleigh
this year. Ii will never do for the other
counties to take a lively interest in the
exhibit and si, do nothing. Would it
not be a good idea for our leading citi
zens to have a conference together and
see what steps ought to be taken? I
will offer a suggestion : Let them call
a mass meeting in Tienton of all oi our
citizens, and let them appoint commit
tees in the various townships to
talk I
with people and enthu.e them on the
subject. Let Jones cunty claim a space
at the exposition, and let us see tlu-t s
'hat space is lilled with our county pro-,
ducts corn. rice, cotton, peas, wheat. '
r'e and ln fuct everything that can be ,
produced m the county. We ou:,r p, .
nave also specimens of cur timbers Tind .
marls. If we commence m time Jones
county can astonish even her own , I
! pie at the exposition. 1 Have nui.ie tin-,.' ,
suggestions In -ping our reading and pro-
grassive citizens will wake up an i take
hold of this important matter an i c.iriv
it through.

uieir many Kinds of wood, minerals,
fruit and vegetables, and say if they
allow such an opportunity as this to
pass unheeded by and keep concealed
the great wealth of one of the wealthiest
and most fertile counties in Eastern
North Carol ina. Let our commissioners
recommend an appropriation and the
magistrates levy the tax to pay the
amount, and our people will never re
gret the money that may be expended
in this way. Let the good work go on
and God grant it success, is the wish of
old Jones county.
