An important joint meeting of tli
coiuniissioners ana magistrates ot tm
county was held at noon MoDday and
action taken in accord with the spirit o
nroaress that is pcrvadinc this stctiop
The meeting was called to consider tl
Question of the county's uruv'ding a tiee
l'errv across Neuse liver at Strecfs o
Nelson"s ferry.
The mretinir heM two hours and tiie
0
question was discussed at length. Some
advocated the pu -chase of one ferry pro
Dosed. some the other ferry, aid others
stood in favor of purch:is;n: ooih and
i unning them free.
Tlie question of substituting n luidge
l for the ferries, at the suae or other
point was also considered.
After all sides of the matter bad been
well ventilated, a resolution introduced
by G. J. Dudy was voted upon. It re;'dg
as follows :
Resolved by the BoarJ ot Com m:ss on
ers and Justices of the Peace of Creven
county in joint session assembled that ihe
said county purchase
bo;h Siieet'a and
Nelson's ferries, including all tbe lanes,
franchises, and appertenaces belonging
te each at a cost not to exceed $M00,
piovided good and valid titles can be ob
tained, and that the sane be made ree
fatTies.
Amended by Commissioner Smallwood,
That the Board purchase Street's Ferry
at a cost not to exceed f 1,200 and lease
Nelson's ferry for the term of one year
with the privilege of extending lease or
pjrchas'ng, the money paid for lease to
be credited on purchase money in the
event that tbe ferry is bought.
The amendment was lost by a rote of
10 to 17.
The otiginal motion was tben put and
earned by a vote of 24 to 1.
On motion of Justice Tisdale it was or
dered, that theBoard of Commissioners of
Craven county be empowered to investi
gate the cost of transporting the peop'e
of C. a ven county across Neuse river at
at Fowler's ferry and also the
cost of building a bridge across Neuse
river at or near New Berne and report st
next meet:ng of the Justices of the
Peace.
The legislature has already authorized
tbe pnrcuase of Street's ferry by the
county and upon its being s. afed that
Nelson's ferry could not be bought with
out action of the Legislature unless the cur
rent funds of the county were sufficient
to pay for it.
On motion of G. J. Dudley it was re
solved that the commissioners of Craven
county be and are hereby an liotized 'o
g'ant them tbe power to levy s special
tax for the pu chase ot Nelson's fe. :r.
We commend the action of n:.igistrates
and commissioners in tbe purchase of
these ferries. The people of tbe rpper
pat t of the county are fairly eniitlcd to
some means of crossiog tbe river them
eelres and their merchandise without
being subject to tbe cost of ferria ge teach
time.
For the present it may be well for the
county to own and operate the ferr-es
rather than to build a bridge at either
point but this docs not do away with the
great need for a bridge at or near New
Berne and it is well that ibe commission
ers axe at last to invest'gate the matter
in earnest. .
The Electioa Tuesday.
Elections were held in thirteen States
Tuesday. Governors were elected in
four, Massachusetts, Ohio, Iowa and Vir
ginia. Tbe greatest interest centered in these
and in New York where an exciting
judicial contest waged.
Tbe following special to the Jouhsal
gives the main points known at 9 o'clock
last night :
Raxkjor, N. C, Nov. 7. Returns
from towns in Virginia are favorable to
Democrats. Negroes took but little in
terest in election. Many voted with
Democrats. Ellison claims the State by
fifteen thousand and the Legislature by
two-thirds majority.
Dispatches from Boston show heavy
Republican gains in Massachusetts and
Greenhalge elected.
Cincinnati dispatches say returns mea
gre bur. general feeling is that Republican
ticket elected.
New York papers claim Maynard has
run 20,000 behind ticket and is beaten.
It is said whole ticket in doubt.
21 out ol 25 precincts in Richmond
give O'Ferral 6,272, Cocke 1,517.
Encouraging Words for Oar Fair.
Those wbo travel tell us that they
meet with so many interested questioners
about tbe approaching exhibition of oar
East Carolina Fair ss to show that its
hold on the attention ot the public con
tinues to increase. One gentleman tells
us that while in a neighboring state
anoUrer geutleman said to him, ''Do you
know that outside of tbe World's Fair,
lht that New Berne Fair is more
talked of around here than any ether one
in tbe United States. This msy sur
prise you residents of your region, the
promoters and upholders of tbe Fair, wbo
see it mainly from an inside view, but it's
a fsct, nevertheless.'
Another gentleman remarket!, "I have
been taking my wife to a certain place
on pleasure, but I told her this year that
if she would omit that trip we could all
visit tbe New Beine Fair when it came
off. This suited ber exactly, and our
whole family will be there."
Another indication of the heightened
interest is tbe earliness with which ap
plications were sent in for premium lists
Mr. C. Reizenstein, Secretary and
Treasurer has been receiving such appli
cations for two or three months. Like
wise the demand has already man'iested
itself in advance for copies of the Fair
edition ol the Journal which we have
gotten out under tlie authority of the
officers of tbe Fair for several years past,
just a few weeks in advance of tbe hold
ing ot tbe Fair. Well, let tbe orders
come. The papers and premiums list:
will all be sent in due time, to those ask
jug for tbeui.
East Carolina is going to have tbe
grandest Fair next February that way
ever held in tbe State and the attendance
will be n keeping with the excellence of
the Fair.

A more delightful route of travel could
scarcely have in-en chosen aboard the
charming steamer Neuse upon the broad
bosom of tbe river Neuse und through
the sparkling waters of Pamlico ;.n 1 Al.
wuianc souiius, lueiiee IO .Nun. ilk uer
the Noifolk aud Bouiheiu Railioad. It
was near the mouth of Nt use river aboard
the steamer when the beauiilul poem
"Sunset on the Neuse. and published in
tbe Jocsnai, ot last week, wr.s inspired
and,immed'''tely written by Mr. T. C.
ttedbam, a drummer from Edenton. It
was pronounced by all the passengers on
board to be one of the grandest sunsets
on water ever s-en. We will not tell the
effect the brilliant illumination bad upon
eu-'raveling CDmpanion, Mr. S. C. Bra-

Of course wise and careful plans bad

of the Exposition in a very limited time.
but ence inside the grounds pressed snd
pecked on all sides by swarms of passing
tiu-naiHiy, plans, pocket guides, &c. bad
vanished and scarcely ever afterwerds
taought of. Circumstances bad taken
complete cuarge. seven Hundred acres
oDand, formerly Jackson Park, are walled
u to hold tbe vast buildings and their
exhibi.s. To any admirer of architec
ture, seeing the buildings alone is grand
enough. Beautiful structures they are.
towering uign in tlie air with monster
columns and graceful arenwavs. Each
builder must have vied with the other in
lesign and grandeur. One alone, that of
Manufacturing and Liberal Arts, covers
iorry acres ot land, imagine sucu a

nd b.'s already calculated the cost to a

Ired less than bait a million tlolla-s.

would have consumed fu'l six months,
the entire time tiie Exposition was open.
To say nothiug of the "Big Fair,'' the
city of Chicago is such a place as no
other on the globe can compare with.
New Y'ork, or any other place for that
mat1 er is slow along side ot it. They
know nothing put to scramble for money.
Life is a continual push and shove. The
ciiy is an endless busy scene, pushing and
rushing day and night.
Exiremes are seen everywhere. Poverty
and wealth go hand in band. Vice and
morality are at warefare. One look and
it appears that there is no hope; another,
and you have assurances that right will
preva'l. In one column of the great
Dalies crime in its most hideous form is
chronicled, in another place a millionair
has donated a great sum of money to the
poor or lor tbe establishment of some
charitable institution. As to which shall
gain the ascendency we leave for some
one else to answer.
On her main thoroughfares at night
Chicago presents a scene of unparallelled
beauty and grandeure. Many of her
buildings tower from twelve to fifteen
stories high. We saw one niueteen and
heard of another twenty-three regular
sky scrapers. Tbe brilliant electric
liisplay in lighting up these imposing
s luctu'es presents a panoramic view too
bewiluenu'jjto descnbe, yet with all its
sublimity and splendor, tbe gay city falls
far shoit of our ideal of a true and happy
nome, ana it was reany a spiru oi renet
when once again we bad reached the
sho es of fair New Berue and her noble
people.
Heavy Yield of Potatoes.
Peter Richardson, an industrious color- '
ed farmer of Rocky Run, seven miles from
New Berne, was in our office yesterday
and tells of a tremendous yield of pota
toes onl l-2.acres from which he lias just
got 175 bushels or at the rate of a little
over 116 bushels to the acre. They were
very large and many to the vine. A por
tion of the crop was Bahamas and a por
tion red yams.
The crop was raised after a spring
truck crop of Irish potatoes and had been
shipped from tbe same land, and the
sweet potatoes had no fertilizer whatever
except the remaining strength of that
used on the Irish potatoes.
So prolific was the yield that the
owner and two assistants dug and banked,
the potatoes at the rate of sixty bushels
per day.
He gives us a point on raising, which if
t generally holds good is worth noticing.
Owing to the severe cold of the previous
winter he found himself as many a farmer
was, scarce of slips when planting time
came and to increase tbe size of bis
potato patch be cut off the ends of vines
alter they begun growing and set them
out. He found when digging that the
potatoes prrowti from these vines bad
yielded notice. ilily letter than those
grown from the draws pulled from the
original slip bed.
The Fire Over Ihe River.
The house tli.it burned on tin- opposite
side of Neuse river from New Berne Fri
day night was tbe one that it was taken
to be at tbe time, generally knowu as tbe
Henry Miller place.
Tbe bouse was unoccupied at the time
and may have lieen set on fire purposely
or possibly have caught by accident from
some one passiug going about ti.e prem
ises. It would cost about 400 to replace the
house. There was no insurance on it.
Mr. II. C. Whitehurat of the city had
nearly the entire interest in the property
and it is on him that the loss falls.
"Nothing succeeds like success," and
nouiing will more quickly insure success
than true merit. For fifty years, Ayer's

ity as tbe superior blood purifier. It
stanas upon its own merits and never
fails to give satisfaction.

Immense Potatoes ami the Fair
Mr. W. E. Snelbn,. stopped us
day and 'old us of tin. item u.- ,
from an t xcllange which I. ragged
potato that u.ia-ui' . d sixiten
Mon-i-npied
on a
inches
around it. "Why.' ai-l he i've got one
home that Mr. M. W. Carman raised that
measured twenty and a half inches around
it that beat the sixteen inch potato
man by four ana a half inches.''
Later in the day at Mr. J. F. Taylor's
store lying on the counter we saw five
huge potatoes of the Bahama variety.
They were raised by Mr. T. M. Daven
port, of Stonewall, brother of onr towns
man Mr. B. B. Davenport.
As sooa as we saw theia we did some
iceasur -g and we gtuog, aud iouiu that
our potatoes were abead agi .n. The
b'gest potato in tee lot meavied ex
actly what the one from Mr. Ca-man's
did, twenty and a half inches and
weighed five pounds.
Mr- Davenport raised a large quantity
of them and tells us that by picking
out the best, be thinks he could get fifty
bushels that average with those we were
looking at. He says he intends to re
member the New Berne Fair and send a
bushel or two of the potatoes. We hope
other farmers will do likewise with tne
best of their crops. The Fair is
ncrw on y a little over three months off
and it is well enough to be preparing
for it
The Best Plaster. Dampen a piece
of flannel with Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and bind it on over the seat of
pain. It is better than any plaster
When the longs are sore such an ap
plication on the chest and another on
the back, between the shoulder blades,
will often prevent pneumonia. There
is nothing so good for a lame back or
a pa.n in the side. A sore throat can
nearly always be cured in one night
by applying a flannel bandage damp
ened with Pain Balm. 50 cent bot
tles for sale by J. Y. Jordan.
