The Mission Clrele or Tbls Organlsa.
tlon and Tbelr Work Wbat They
Have Done, What They are Reeking;
to Accomplish, and What Will be
of Use to Them In Their Efforts.
Not quite a month ago, the Mission
Circle of "King's Daughters" of New
Berne, lought the property of the "New
Berne Yacht Club." Since th.it time they
have spent over one hundred dollars,
relaying wharf, repairing bouts and
so on.
The wharf is a most delightful place on
summer afternoons and evenings, and the
young ladies wish to make it a p'easant
resort for the people ot the town. Up
stairs they have a large square room wuii
twelve windows in it. This thev will
famish for a "Chapter Room'' and they
hope, soon, to establish a good circulating
library. Of course, for the present, all
their efforts are put forth to piy tor the
property and obtain such furniture as 19
absolutely necessary. They have great
need of very ordinary chairs and small
tables downstairs; and any old chair or
odd piece that may be thrown aside in
your garret as useless, will be gratefully
received by them, and ntteu up, by energy
snd ingenuity, into an attractive piece lor
their "Chapter Room."
All ol the row boats are now in good
condit oo, and any who may wish to rent
will find a polite boy to fit them up, and
secure them on their return.
At the last meeting the Circle decided
to keep the rooms open to visitors every
day from5:30 p. m. till 11 at night
They will servo refreshments every
Wednesday afternoon and night (weather
permitting, and as often as possible, will
give Eocne simple entertainmeut, to which
they will charge a very small admiss
ion.
The young ladies are working hard.
and they earnestly desire the sympathy
and encouragement of the people of the
city.
Uratelully returning thanks to tnose
who have already so kindly assisted them,
they submit themselves, members of the
Circle:

procured Ins pistol, but before he could se
cure it tho burglar escaped, supposably on
the opposite sidt of the house where a
window was found up in the morning.
In each case these midnight marauders
ran a close risk of gettinga dose of cold
lead which they so much deserved and
which the ones they were trying to rob
would have been justified m giving
them.

It does us good to inform our farmers
of successes at fruit ra'sing. We know we
are in a regiou where horticulture is calla
ble of tremendous development and we
want our people to realise the vast op
Hirtunies and make development accord
ingly. The latest important item along
this line we notice is from the News and
Observi r of Friday. We copy ii:
"Dr. II. R. Battle, of the Experiment
Station, lclt Thursday for Hamlet on a
business errand that will detain him until
Monday. He had iust returned from the
meeting of the State Horticultural Society
which was held in Gieensboro on Wed
nesday. Among other interesting papers
read, there was one by Dr. Battle on "Ex
perimental Work in "Horticulture." Mr.
Van Lindley was re-elected President and
tlie other old officers were re elected Di.
Battle said the meeting was much enjoy
ed and was calculated to have Ixneficial
results in every wav.
'Before taking the traiu Dr. Battle had
occasion to refer to the development of
the fruit industry now so noticeable iu
Norlh Carolina. In this connection, a
statement showing the outcome from Mr.
Van Lindlev's place near Southern Pines
will reveal figures which will bring, pro
bably, as much surprise as pleasure to
tho-e who read them.
On a fruit farm of 3G0 acees, the net
receipts this year were $8,063.51. This is
the first year's bearing, and Mr. Van
Liudhy considered it only about one
eighth of what the crop would be when
the trees had full age. There are 50,000
peach trees set in rows 1J miles long, said
Dr Battle.

The Savannah News gives some start
ling figures of the dimensions pear culture
is assuming in some of the counties of
that State. It says:
FEARS BV MANY MILLIONS.
"The pear crop this year is the largest
on n cord. It is estimated by those who
are in a position to know and to judge
correctly that it will exceed 300,000 bar
rels. The bulk of the pears are the ie
Come. A small proportion arc of the.
Kiefler and the Bartlett varieties.
'It 300,000 barrels were placed cud to
end, they would form a line 150 miles
long, reaching through the whole length
of the territoiy, where the pear is culti
vated on the Savannah, Flori Ia and Wes
tern railway. This numlier of 800,000
barrels is equal to 800,000 bushels and
would weigh upwards of 30,000 tons.
They would load seven or eight of the
largest tramp steamers coming to Savan
nah. "The bulk of this enormous pear crop
has been raised in some six or seven coun
ties. Thomas county alone produced 80,
000 barrels. In one day Thomasville ship
ped 943 barreU by express and 600 barrels
by freight.
"Boston and Cairo, nearby points in
the same district, shipped very nearly as
many barrels on the came day. Seven
thousand barrels were shipped by one
sieamer to New York. This of course
does no include overland shipments.
"In spite ot these injures this years
crop is not by any means a full one,
as many orchards have suffered more or
less from blight during the last two sea
sons.'' . Any one who has seen the pcifcction to
which pears and most other fruits attain
in Eastern North Carolina under proper
culture must realize that what another
Stat6 or another locality can do, can like
wise be accomplished. We doubt not that
increased attention to fruit growing will
lead to other desirable industries, canner
ies, &c. We hope before many years to
see horticulture assume as much impor
tance around us as trucking has alieady
attained to.

Lutheran services conducted by Rev.
G. D. Bernheim, D. D., of Wilmington,
were held Sunday in the Presbyterian
lecture room. There was a service Satur
day night at the s-ame place preparatory
to the communion service of Sudnay
morning. Dr. Bernheim dwelt upon the
communion iu his sermon of Sabbath
morning, nnd his afternoon service was
upon the subject of church officers elders
and deacons being stewards of God.
After the sermon Mr. W. F. Koch was
ordained as elder and Messrs. W. F.
Aberly and W. W. Koch as deacons.
The duties of the elder and deacon were
explained in the ordination ceremonies
those of the elders related mainly to (he
spiritual affair of the church, seeing that
correct scriptural doctrine was taught,
adjusting any dissensions tla might at
any time unhappily arise, having over
sight of schools both 8abbath and pa r
achi al, etc. The duties ol deacons were
to look after the collections, including the
work among the poor.
One more member was added to the
church.
As announced before, services will now
be held regulary every month. Dr. Bern
heim will be here again the last Sabbath
in next month.
From a Lutheran tiact entitled "Our
Church,'" we copy the following state
ments about the Lutheran chmch as a
body of Christians throughout the world,
the size of their membership, customs in
government and worship, doctrine, etc:
OLDEST AND LARGEST PROTESTANT
CHURCH.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church is
the oldest and largest Protestant Church
It is, as its name indicates, one of the
Evangelical denominations. It is not a
sect. It was not the result of sectarianism
or schism. Luther and his associates had
no intention of forming a separate organi
sation. They simply protested against
the errors that had crept into the doc
trines and practices ot the Roman Church,
in ttie vain hope that they would be repu
dialed and condemned by those in author
ltv. For tins the Ketormers were cut on
from the Roman communion, the schism
thus being made by the opposite party,
They thereupon reorganised the congre
gations to whiph they ministered, reject
ing everything of doctrine and custom that
wis contrary to the Word ot iod, and
retaining what had been developed in the
sixteen centuries of tbe Church's history
that was not contrary to that standard.
They called themselves the Evangelical or
Gospel Churches. As Martin Luther was
leader in this movement, the enemies of
the Reformation called them Lutheran
Churches, a name which has been accept
ed as indicative of their lclation to the
historic facts just mentioned.
DIRECT APOSTOLIC CONNECTION.
The Lutheran Church is the Church
that has diiect historic connection with
the time of the Apostles, purified from the
corruptions of Romanism. All other
Protestant Churches had their beginnings
after the Lutheran Church, and are in
debted to it for something either usage,
confessiopal statement, or liturgical form.
FLEXIBLE FORMS OF GOVERNMENT.
The polity of the Lutheran Church is
flexible and liberal. It holds that the out
, ward organisation may be, adapted to the.
illle or li

Churches combined. In all tin- coiinine--:
of the world tliere are perhaps ntty n il
lions of Lutherans, or nrariy otie-hii.i'oi j

In this country there i- a Lutheran ,
population ol' about live millions, ol whom i
one-fourth are actual communicant... These
are mostly descendants 'if the arly He.-j
man si tilers, or of more r, cent Gei man
and Scandinavian immigrants. j
The Lutheran Church preach, s the,
Gospel in not less than fourteen dillerent
languages ard dialects in this country.
In the transition from a foreign language
to the English, many of our people have 1
been diverted into other church' s in the )
past, but with our increasing number of;
English Churches we are now belter pre- i
pared to minister to our Anglicized
people.
SCRU'TCIt.U. IN DOCTRINE.
In Doctrine the Lutln ran Church is
eminenrly Scriptural. It teaches that the
Holy Scriptures aie the only infallible
rule of faith and practice, ar.d the Augs
burg Coulession is received and acknowl
edged by all Lutherans as embodying 'he
faith of the Church. The doctrines of Un
church may be summarlz'-d as follows;
there is one Divine Essence which is God.
and there are three Persona of ih same
Essence, Father, Son and HolyGh ist. c -eternal
and co-equal. The Son of God
took upon Himself human ntture. and
suffered and died that He might b, -icii-flced
for the sins of the world. All m, n
naturally engendeied are born in sin.
(hat is, without the f-ar of God, and
with carnal appetites, and they cannot by
their own powers exercise saving faith and
bring foith the works ot true righieous
uess, without being born again and i on
verted to God by the Holy Ghost. Man
cannot bejustifieel before God by bis own
works or merits, but is justified fr -ely for
Christ's sake, tnrough faith alone, which
God imputes to him for rightcou-ncss.
Tlvs faith must bring forth good fruits or
works, because Goel has commanded
them, and not in the expectation of there
by meriting forgiveness and salvation.
The ministry has been appointed to
preach tbe Gospel and administer the Sac
raments. Through the Worel and the
Sacraments as bv instiuments, the Holy
Ghost is given, who works faith and re
news the heart.
Through Baptism grace is offered and
children presented thereby to (Joel are re
ceived into His favor.
Christ is really and truly present in the
Lord's Supper, though not by means of
Trai substantiation (a change of sub
stance) or Consubstantiation (a change
into one substance) or Irapanntion (Christ
in the bread and wine), or Subpanation
(Christ under the bread and wine), but m
a sacramental manner that is n t under
stood by us. The Lutheran Doctriic
differs from that of all those churches who
regard the Eucharist as a purely com
memorative ordinance and who deny that
the body and bleiod of Christ are t inly
present and received in the Holy Com
munion. The Sacraments become effica
cious, not by the mere administration ol
them, bwt through the words ot tiieir in
stitution and the promise of God attached
thereto, appiehended and received by
faith.
There is and ever will 12 one holy
Christian Church which consists of the
congregation e! believers. At the last day
Christ shall appear in judgment, raise the
dead, confer upon the godly and elect
eternal lite, and condemn ungodly men
aud devils to eternal punishment.
WHAT THE CHURCH HAS DONE.
In Missionary work the Lutheran
Church has ever been active and success
ful. It gave back to the world the gr-at
doctrines which are the f.muelation and
life of Protestantism, threw eipen the long
closed Bible, turned back the tide o1
ignorance anel corruption, and ushered in
a new elay upon the earth, whose glory-
will increase as ihe ages roll on.
The Lutheran Church is befriending the
homeless and helpless, building and sup
porting institutions of learning, carrying
the Gospel to the poor and destitute,
planting missions and establishing church
es in the great cities and in ihe newe r
portions of the country, sending mi-si. n
aries to the heathen to teach them the way
of life, and each year more and more lib
erally pouring out her treasure lor i very
cause that advances the glory of G.kI and
the welfare of humanitv.

An interesting table has been prepared
by the Pall Mall Gazette, showing the co-t
of conducting a campaign for a seat in
Parliament. One of the candidates paid
about $60,000 in tho elections of 1 8MI;
another about $35,000. Parnell, canelielate
from Cork that year, paid only $1,000.
There has been no return of canriiehites'

Forest fires are now destroying wealth
faster than labor can dig it out of the
ground. The destruction has, perhaps,
been greatest in the splendid forests ot li r
and cedar on the Pacific coast, but there
have also been great losses of limber and
lumber east of the Rocky Mountains. Such
devastation, often tlie result of careless
ness or wantonness, is the very extrava
gance of unthrift. The flames destroy in
a day the accumulated nurture and growth

The Slate Commander writes us from
Lincoln, NcK, as follows: "Alter trying
other meelicines for what seemed to be a
very obstinate cough in our two children
we tried Dr. King's New Discovert and
at the end of two days the cough entirely
left them. We will not be without it
hereafter, as our experience proves that it
cures where all other remedies fail.
Signed F. W. Stevens, State Com. Why
not give this great medicine a trial, as it
is guarnnteed and trial bottles arc free nt

The main wheel ol a watch makes 4
revolutions in 24 hours or 1,460 in a year.
The centre wheel 24 revolutions in 24
hours, or 8760 m a ye-ar. The third wheel
192 in 24 hours or 70,080 in a vear. The
4ih wheel 2,440 in 24 hours or 890,600 in
a year. The 5th or scape wheel 12,960 in
24 hours or 4,750,400 revolutions a year.
The heats or vibrations made iu 24 hours
are 'JH8.800 or 141,912,000 in 12 mos.
Very few who carry this delicate and won
derful machinery ever think of the in
creasing labor it performs and how aston
ishingly well it boars up and does its
duty under what woulel be consielered
very shabby treatment of almost any other
piece of machinery. Many think a watch
ought lo run lor years without a drop ol
oil. Who woulel think of running a com
mon machine a day without oiling ?
Winel your watch as nearly as possible
at ihe same time each day. Be particular
to turn your pocket inside out often, nnd
liiush off the loose dirt; a great deal of
fine grit will collect and grind its way in
to the watch. If your watch needs
repairing, be sure you take it to Baxter, a
watch maker, reliable and experienced,
and fitted up with the finest set of tools in
the South and of modern invention.
