N. a Whitfield In the chair and C. C. Daniels, of the JVm Pre, as secretary. The meeting was for the purpose of taking steps to have the county properly represented In the coming State Exposition. Col. Bnj. S. Pardee, ot the Nfew Haven Palladium, addressed the meeting, . - pointing out the Importance of the Ex position and giving some interesting facte gathered by him in this section of the State. A resolution was adopt ed reoommending the county commis skners and board oil justices to appro priate $1,000 for the purpose of making the county exhibit. A committee con , austing of Mesara. J. C. Kennedy, J. M. Wootea,. C. Wooten, Geo. E. MUler . aad Dr. S. H. Lewie to submit a plan . -of making the exhibit to the board of Justices on the 1st Monday in March. : isoma of the leading farmers and tax payeca thiak a thousand dollars rather '- aa extravagant outlay for the county. Thsy org that a central committee at S. yinafr"Ti to receive and store the articles for exhibit is all that is necessary to . make the eolUctton of material, as the farmers would willingly and gladly . - brine m pecimene of marl, timber and farm products. This is the question the . justices should consider well. It is . within the power of the county to make aa exhibit that wUl not be excelled by any other county in the State, or if the people are not ambitious to excel, then an ordinary exhibit can be made with lese money. It has been suggested that Capt. W. S. Bird would be a suitable person to take charge of the county's - exhibit at Raleigh, and also a very com petent ne to get up statistics conoern- Lai the educational facilities, schools. -,-etiorches, healthfulnesa of the climate He has the ''gift of gab"' is enter- : prising and would take a pride in show- ! lag the resources of his county to great ! advantage. i ICr.

A merchant on Broad street was teas ing a country widower Saturday for carrying out a cookstove. as if it was something unusual for widowers to .-at cooked victuals. The hum of machinery in St . msoi. 's and Congdon's -mills near the railroad depot sounds business like, and causes the stroller who p.asses that w y to quicken his pace.

The shoe shop of E Havens, on Craven street, has been torn down and a house and stable will be erected on the lot for the hose carriage ,'and horse of the At lantic Fire Companv.

Mr. Miller is perfectly devoted to h.s work in looking after the Cemetery and having things kept in the neatest order.

The officers of Neuse Council . No. !,! Order of Chosen Friends, paid out Fri day to the widow of Juo. F.

Ipock, which explains itself a.s ' well as the fact that he was not watchman on the cotton yard when I the recent larcenies were committed. It is to be hoped he will not be "entitled on the street about it. " any more. The barn, stables, corn, foddfr and horse of Mr. John C. Weathering-ton. at Johnson"s Mills, Pitt county, were burn- j ed on Tue6day night of last week. This ; is the 3rd fire of this character in that sectifln within three months, and the in cidiary has not been arrested yet. We are requested to corre.t the im pression that Brister Tilghman. whose arrest is mentioned elsewhere in this paper, was an employe on the cotton vard. such not being the case. lie has not had any regular employment there for two years. We state this in justice to the colored laborers that are em ployed there. Gen. R. D. Hanc.K-k has been desig nated by Adjutant General Johnstone Jones as one of the five delegates of North Carolina to attend the meeting of the National Guard Association to be held at Cincinnati on the 20th and 27th of March next. We take it as a merited 1 compliment and trust the General will be able to attend. Capt. L. T. Oglesby. of Caiteret. called to see us Saturday and renewed his subscription to the JoIrnal. He is one of the few farmers who never buys meat and bread bat makes it at home. and a few bales : of cotton for pocket chmge i He is a Jeffersonian Democrat, and be- ' fore the war was a wheel l.or-e in a canvass. We think there is good ser- vice in him vet if the Democrats of Car- I teret will make the proper use of it. j The many waim friends of Mi.-s j Corinno Harrison will be pleased to. learn that she has been elected first as sistant of one of the public schools of Boston and her salary advanced.

A friend just from Hyde county re ports that a negro who was in jail es . iped last Saturday night by heating a his.-! and burning out the staple of the 1. ck on tha door. After getting out he went to Rev. Mr. Heamau's and stole hi- Hr." horse, with which he made his . scape. He crossed Alligator river in tiie neighborhood of Kilkenny, and t bile crossing the m.,rsh the horse got mired down. He went out to get help to get him out. prom l.-ing the gentlemen ivli i assisted him tive dollars. After tiie horse was out he could not pay the m..ney. This circumstance caused his assistants to suspect that something was wron. They sent over to Fairfield and there learned of the escape from jail. . and the boy and horse were returned, the one to gladden thx heart of the min- ister. the other to console the sheriff an j "let the law take it; course. " 'iirmaii'M Formula. Our canvassing agent. C C. Tavlor. his travels, has found one farmer who uses Furman's formula in manur ing. It is Mr. Jus. M. Kornegay. near Seven Springs. He manured one acre hist year as an experiment and made ITaO lbs. ,if seed cotton nn it. doubling that manured in the ordinary way. We lid not learn the exact quantity of ma nure applie 1 to this ;k re. but the result was S.oO net profit ire than was made on any other acre, and the saving of the cultivation of one acre Bv making the same amount of cotton on me acre that is usual iy made on t wo. the expense of cultivating one acre is saved. This is a strong argument in favor of the "intensive svstem." We invite Mr. Kornegay. and hope lie will respond, to give us a statement . f his manner of rryinuring and culti- vating this acre, doubtless benefit fa rmers. By doing so he will manv of his fellow ' An honest failure in a town or ciiv is to be regretted. But a deliberate pur pose to defraud creditors is not only to f several complaints i he rev-retted, but it is damaging to the Htiort Weight. We have heard from farmers about the weight of cott n , in this in irkft. and we must confes that w e have never been able to explain the lotage only upon th" theory that the weights at the gin are not correct, for here the weighers are sworn officers and we know the gentlemen who hold the positions are men of strict honesty ; and integrity. The case of Bristoe I crooked proceedings on the part of Tilghman before the Mayor's court on some one. and we feel that we owe it to Wednesday morning is likely, however. ; ,ne honest business men of this coin to throw a little light on the subject, i munitv to publ iclv condemn and ex po -e It is now believed, and the belief is not jt. The assignee of the aforesaid firm is without foundation, that a systematic an honorable man and we are informed plan of stealing at night acted promptly in the matter as soon as few pounds from each bale on the plat- J the information reached him. form has been carried on for sometime. ; Hie Exchange promptly employed coun- I sel to prosecute the first case to which a clue was obtained, and the whole mat ter will bo investigated. Briefer Tilgh man is not alone in the business. The Kxpoallion The suggestion of our White Oak cor respondent that several Eastern counties join together in making a display at the Mate Exposition is a good one. The counties mentioned in his letter, to gether with Greene and Pitt, could make a display equal to any section in the State. But how shall we get the ball in motion'.' That is the question now: and we haven't long to think about it. Craven is so crippled and burdened with debt that we can hardly call on our county commissioners for an appropriation, yet w e believe the people had rather pay a tax for that purpose than to let the county be unrepresented. But haven't we men who own real estate that they wish to dispose of. and are they not aware that the Exposition will be the best advertisement they can get if they take advantage of the opportunity . Then why don't they make a united effort to exhibit the products of their lands, the timber, marl, lime rock, phosphate rock. etc. Tile I ii n 11 e ol We h ive rei', ing the annual Directors and .orth ( arolluu " j ived a pamphlet contain- i report of the Board of j Superintendent of the , North Carolina Insane Asylum Superintendent's report shows The there ! were under treatment, at the last annual j retort. 1-4 o males and '- females, to j which there had been added during j tiie year -7 males and 2i females, the whole number for the year being 17'J males, and 1 ",'J females, making a total of i'.al.

In supplementing our recent article as to the mode of having this section I properly represented at the State Expo sition, we wish to impress upon our I Riiril of Trud e an ,1 t hp I tor ton Kvrhnii : -e the fact that New Berne is the metropo lis of this section of the State: it is the "hub" from whence radiates the spokes of a wheel whose peripheny embraces a radius of at least one hundred miles. This immense territory tributary as it is to our city, from which only gain is received; that makes us the eutre l of all its productions, is entitled to very great consideration at the hands of our busiuess men whose "weal or woe" is so dependent upon these contributors to our prosperity. The trade of New Berne can be increased a hundred per cent, by the exhibition and practice of the proper energy. We have heie two regularly organized bodies of business men. com posed of our very best material who frequently convene and intelligently discuss matters of interest pertaining to tlieh.iclr:$. Now the average farmer living remote from his neighbor in many instances has not the opportunity to arrange for a concert of action in order to do justice to his section, and does and must rely upon his commer cial factors to aid him in tin- proper rep resentation of his locality. Hence, it follows that organized bo i ies. such as w e possess, should assume th duty, and through a Joint commit tee, by printed circular address,, i to each of th"ir country business friers-!-, solicit such articles as they may think will materially add to tin- State display.

We ha.' thought that the bad weather through January had put the farmers behind, and that there was no end to work on the farm at present, but we hid this warmly disputed on Saturday. A young white man walked into our otlica and said : "I wish you would lend me fifteen ci r.ts to buy me something to eat until I can get some work." "We don't keep money to lend, the National Bank is just around the corner, and thev are a very clever set of fellows there. Why don't you go out in the country and get work on a farm . " "N thing to d- th-re no.v. Farmers woii't have iiiiv work before about one mouth." "1 think you are mi-taken: the farm ers are rather b-.-hin 1 h ind and need good hands. " "Well, but I've tried.

It is as follows: "Any person who may be able to labor and who has no apparent means of sub sistence, and neglects to apply himself 0 1 some honest occupation for onest occupation for the sup- port of himself and his family: or. if any person shall b found spending his ; time in dissipation, or gaming or saun- tering about without employment, or , endeavoring to maintain himself or his family bv any linaue or uniawiul linens, such person shall be a vagrant, and guilty of a misdemeanor, and pun ished by a fine not to exceed fifty dol lars or by imprisonment not to exceed thirty days: and the offense shall be cognizable before a justice of the peace, who may release the party on his giving a recognizance, with or without security for his industrious and peaceable de portment for one year or less from the date thereof, or may also impose on him a punishment not to exceed that above mentioned."
