Trains Kanning Through Iowa,
A report has in some way been started
to the effect that one railroad is allowed
to run its trains through tbe city taster
than than the other. This is a mistake.
The two are treated exactly alike. We
have seen and read the agreement be
tween tbe city and the railroads on file
at the city clerk's office for ourself, and
each one ia denied the privileges of run
ning any engine or ear within tbe city
limits faster than three miles an hour a
very alow speed under a penalty of
fifty dollars for each offense.
It may bt interesting in this connection
to call attention to what constitutes with
in the citv limits.
' Along the line of the A. St N. C. R. R.
this covers mil the track from tbe old
fort beyond tbe macadamized mad to tbe
channel of Trent river.
Along tbe W. N. & N. R R it rovers
from End street to the channel of Neuse
river.
Any train or engine running within
these areas faster than spoken of is liable
to be snapped up by an officer at any
time and the penalty enforced.

Which be might make tbe theme
Of a Cong, as sweet to tbe car it caught
As wood-bird's music, nature-taught,

To pray is good; to do, is best !
Make, though thy voice be dumb,
A pure heart home within thy breast.
Where they, as sacred things, may rest,
And beautiful thoughts will come.

Eastern N. C. Conference. Dr. Nash, of
5tu street church, Wilmington, and Rev.
R. F. Bumpass ot Beaufort, were also in
troduced. President appointed Mrs. L. L. Hen

Starling of Goldsboro after which reports
by District Secretaries were continued to
a late hour in the alternoon.
At night a love feast was held and
brief talks made by a number of the
ladies and several gentlemen.
This closed the days exercises.
SUNDAY SEBVICKS.
The annual sermon before tbe Woman's
Missionary Convention was preached by
Rev. R F. Bumpass, of Beaufort at 11
a. m. Sunday morning. It was a sound
discourse abounding in historical mission
ary data, touching on missionary work in
general, but with special reference to it
as carried by the Methodist, and especi
ally through tbe operations of the society
now in session.
In tbe afternoon the Bri-bt Jewel, ex
ercises, with an address to the children by
Rev. D. Atkins, D. D., took the place of
the regular Sabbath school.
The Bright Jewels is tbe juvenile mis
sionary society which works in connec
tion with the Methodist Sabbath schools
of the State. It was originated and the
first organization effected in Raleigh
about ten years ago by Mrs. W. S. Black
now of Oxford, whose husband is the
Superintendent of the Orphan Asylum at
that point
Mrs. Black is now the corresponding
secretary of the Woman's Missionary
Society and expected to be present and
take part in the deliberations of this occa
sion but was prevented by an attack of
nervous prostration from which she has
been suffering and for which she is now
at Buffalo Lithia Springs and is improv
ing. In tbe prayer ot tue alternoon ses
sion special petition was made for her
speedy and complete restoration.
The address of Dr. Atkins was one
well suited to the occasion. He lias the
happy faculty in a large degree of being
able to interest and hold the attention ot
children and though his address was
suited to the capacity of children it con
tained nuggets of wisdom from which
the adults in the audience could well
profit.
The missionary acrostic "The Whole
World for Jesus'' was formed by each of
twenty-one girls reciting a verse of scrip
ture, at the same time holding aloft the
initial letter of the vsrse. Her recitation
beinr finished tbe letters was buns on a
cord so small as to be invisible to tbe au
Jience and the next verse recited in tbe
same manner, the letters at tbe close
tormina the suspended acrostic with
very pretty effect.
Tbe recitation and singing exercises by
the children was a very charming feature
of this meeting. "The Church Rallying
Song" by the Sabbath school choir with
which the meeting opened was beautiful.
The air is pleasing and tbe rendition by
all tiint could be desired. The music at
all the meetings has been very good.
The reading, "A living Sacrifice
Miss May Hendren with singing responses
by Miss Stella Roberts, was a well chosen
selection and quite impressive-
With the singing of "The Crowning
Day is Coming' the afternoon meeting
sloeed.
At night Rev. Dr. Atkins preached
very fine missionary sermon from Romans
I 12 to 16.
Monday's pboorkdings,

Mobile Searly Destroyed by Storm.
The city of Mobile has been swept by
a terrific storm, the most severe one the
city has ever witnessed. A large portion
of the citv is under water and houses
have been unroofed, trees blown down,
the city lelt in total darkness and other
damage wrought.
Several persous were killed and many
vessels driven ashore.
The gale, a hard south east wind, com
menced at 4 p. m. Monday and by 1 p.m.
was blowing at the rate of seventy-mile
miles an hour.
The wind blew the water from the
gulf into the river until the latter reached
Royal street which is four blocks away
and at an elevation ot about fifteen feet
from the mean height.
All the wholesale and a great deal of
the retail districts of the city are under
water. There is no way of estimating
the money.
Three dredges that were working on
the channel and several other dredges
have been lost.
Fifty miles of the Louisville and
Knoxville Railroad are under water and
the Bilox bridge has been swept away
The worst is feared for the gardeners on
the marshes eat of the city. No news
of them can be obtained.
The busiest, thoroughfares of the city
are being navigated in boats, and parties
are wading up to their armpits in an 'ef
fort to save goods.
The Southern part of the city presents a
sc.n e of wreckage as if it had been bom-
borded.
Parsonage Aid and Home Mission
Society.
A meeting was held in Centenary
church Tuesday morning ia which Mrs.
F. D. Swindell. State Superintendent of
the Parsonage Aid and Home Mission
Societies brought forward the work of

others who were in the city by reason of
the Missionary Convention might profit.
Half of the money raised is devoted to
work in the State and the remainder to
work in the West. Mrs. Swindell read a
paper citing instances of great privation

information gained as the needs, ifcc.

MORNING WILL DAWN AT LAST.
For the Jouknal.
The shades of evening now appear,
The twilUht wanes, the night is near
The weary soul by grief oppressed,
Can only say "Lord, thou knowest best,"
let I fain would rest, I teel so tired.
Help me to bear this heavy load,
Down life's steep and dreary road.
For lo ! the shaft has sped the bow,
And two bright sons have been laid low,
Death loves a shining mark.
Help me, oh, Father to yield my will to
thine,
Let nature not rebel.
Though with a broken heart it be,
Let me both feel and say.
"Thou doest all things well."
Thy prayer is beard on high, tbe Father
ne'er passes hischildien by.
But bending low to earth, He bears the
mother's plaintive cry.
Full many a trial of grief, tbe mortal
child must know.
But not a tear of sorrow shall unheeded
flow,
No prayer to me le breathed in vain,
Who feels thy every throb of pain.
My dealings often seem hard when viewed
by mortal eyes,
But they are in mercy sent, with heaveu-
ly love intent:
And in a purpose deep, a blessing often
lies, unscanned by those who weep.
Lean hard on me my child, and while
sorrow's billows o'er thee roll.
Keep near my side, and thou shalt stem
the current and the tide.
And reach at last tin goal, the harbor
for the soul.

A RICE BIRD STORY.
They Don't Shoot 'em Around George
town, Hut Scoop 'em up With a
Net.
The News and Guricr is responsible
tor this "anecdote."
Reports from Georgetown are to the
effect that the rice birds are more plenti
lul than ever before known. They have
almost ceased to be a target for shotguns.
ami are so thick and close together that
they aiecaught with n dip net likeso many
rish. One "gentleman who did go out
with his shotcruii killed 180 at a single
shot.
ihe regular way now, however, is to
get a boat and a dip next aud go auionj
the ditches in the old rice fields and dip
up the birds. A gentleman wentout a few
nights ago and returned with 1,236 birds
It required a wagon and two backbonds
to carry them all home. Quite a con
siderable sum has been realized by sever
al parties who embarked ill the rice bird
business. Thev can le bought ou the
plantations for a mere song, and when
taken to the town are sold for at least 25
cents a dozen.
Cedar Grove Cemetery
Having a little leisure time a few days
ago, we took a stroll through the ceme
tery, to gather information upon certain
points, but not at that time, with the
thought of sending anything to the prin
ter. But the theme like Topsy
"grow'd" into an article.
Ordinarily, a cemetery would be con
sidered a yruve subject to write upon, but
a good deal of grim humor seemed to
gather around it, even at tbe outset
About the nrst thing we came upon, was
a bevy of very young ladies who asked
us to fhow them the place where it
said :
"Here lies
The lazy bones
Of Johnnie Jones."
which they considered a very awful thing
to say particularly on a grave stone.
Much as we disliked to disappoint the
little lassies, we were unable to find sueh a
stone even with the assistance of the
sexton, and were forced to lielieve that it
did not exist.
Next we were told of a certain monu
ment which embraced in its construction,
an urn, by means of which it was said
communication might be made with the
person there buried.
This correspondence was carried on
chiefiv by school children in their tfens.
Whenever a new pupil could be found
confiding enough for the purpose, he was
gravely told that if he would approach
carefully, lift one side of the urn gently
and softly whisper tinder it the question :
" What teat your ether hung for V he
would bear the dead man say, '"Nothing."
The "victim" would listen intently, and
of course tbe sleeper beneath would say
nothing as promised. All which was
very simple, and vastly edilying to all
concerned.
The next tale rehearsed into our ear
was to the effect that so many years ago
there were on the Confederate mound a
numlier of pipes of six or eight inches in
diameter, rising a foot or two above the
ground, lor the purpose of ventilating the
vault beneath. Occasionally a ' country
man'' looking about in the vicinity, would
be taken in hand by some officiously kind
friends, and have imparted to him as a
profound secret and special favor,
the inlormatio i that through
ne of these opeaings communication
might be bad with those sleeping below,
and that a question asked would meet
with a ready response. While one
graciously showed him to the right place
and explained the proper way to pro
pound his question, another would care
lessly wander to the opposite opening,
and lor a reply pour into it a hoarse,
rough inarticulate sound, which reverb
erating through the dark chasm, would
lie delivered into the waiting ear of the
hungering and thirsting one a long
drawn, soul stirring, blood curdling
roan, which would scare bun into a
freezing ague for the balance of the day.
It was small palliation to be told: "To
be sure you must have said something
they didn't like."
Although the cemetery was not opened
by Christ Church till 1800, it contains
the lxxlies ot a number of persons which
were removed from the old churchyard,
the death of some of wuom occurred at
a much earlier date. The oldiest monu
ment or memorial is a small gray soap
sone slab, of our eighteenth century
pattern erected over the grave of a four
year old girl, and bearing date 1784. Dr.
Holmes says:
"Little of all we value here
Wakes on the morn of its hundredth
year,
Without both looking and feeling
queer."
But this tablet, after tbe lapse of about
ten years more than a century "wakes" to
show itself almost uninjured by the
touch of time, and with its quaint inscrip
tion clearly legible except a word
broken by some forceful impact, perhaps
accidental.
The sentiment, or epitaph is from Dr.
Young's "Narcissa," and may serve to
show the literary and poetic taste and
mental inclination or status of a family of
whom nothing more is now known, or
will ever be known.
"Sweet harmonist! and beautiful as
sweet !
And young as beautiful ! and soft as
young !
And gay as soft ! and innocent as gay!
And happy if anght happy here as
innocent !
For fortune lond had built her nest on
high,
Like birds quite exquisite of note and
plume,
Transfixed of Fate itho kres a lofty
mark
lLnr from the summit of the grove she
'fell
And left it unharmoniovs."
Only the last two lines are cut on the
stone.
This grave-stone, with its date of 1784,
connect: us back with a time anterior to
the uatal day of our nation to that in
terregnum lxitween the dissolution of the
Continental Congress, after the signing of
the treaty of Peace at Paris, (Sept. 3,
1783) and tbe inauguration of W'ashing-
ington, (April 30, 1789) during which,
we had no government, anil like the
occasional Biblical record of the Jewish
nation "everv oae did that which was
rig right in his own eves."
