March 10 For the last few days our town has been alive with visitors, Quar terly meeting of the M, E. Church, Booth, convened last Saturday, 8th, lost. Rev R. B. John, P. E., was on hand and preached three times. Els sermons were interesting, especially on Sunday at 11 a. as. We thought the Sunday discourse was the best missionary sermon we ever heard. There wu a large turn-out of people from adjoining counties. The Elder left Bunday evenlngl.for the rail road to return to his home in W liming ton. Bra. F. 8. Becton closed the meet ing Sunday night with an able address to his church. Bro.

Mayor Ward is busy straightening np his town affairs, fixing streets, side walks, etc The saw mill is cutting away u usual One large three-muted schooner is load Ing with lumber, two others expected this week. The rail road they My, Is a settled fact. Surveying has been done in part, and men from the North are down look ing and prospecting. Mr. ' Prettyman, the owner of the mill, hu been here all the week with one or two capitalists, all in the interest of the rail road. Two schools are going on here, now, Miss Mamie Franks of RIchlands, the accomplished daughter of Mr. John Franks, is the teacher of the public school and Miss Katie Pittman, daught er of Mr. J. A.

Judge David wu so taken by surprise, that while he pro ceeded to tie 'em up. he trembled violent ly and came near suffocating, but he got through all right al lut, but we thought at one time the Squire would really have to call on Cy Foscue, who was present, to held finish the job, the couple dldu't take time to say thank ee sir, but skeedaddled at once, when lut seen they were close together going out of town looking every way for Sun day. - :-i;,.?'.;;'v "VV : Guess we will have a life-saving sta tion at Bogus Inlet, before long, hope toieeitsoon.

Ws present Mr. G. K. West of this town u a man well fitted and fully competent to transact the duties of the clerks office. : We see no good reason why the coun ty, A. & N. C. R. R. and the people of Dover can't get together and build a road from here to Trent road in Jones county, a distance of four and a half miles. -It would open up one of the finest farming sections In Eastern North Carolina and turn a volume of business Into Craven county that is now being done out of it. A good road opened through to this section would be the means of establishing here tobacco ware houses, a large cotton market besides other Industries that' would naturally follow. Well, you say let Dover build the road and that is exactly what we would have done long before this if we had been able. Our people are poor but are Indus trious and public spirited. ' And besides all of this suppose this road would be the means of doubling the population and wealth, of Dover, which we think it would do within two years after Its com pletion, wouldn't Craven county and the A. & N. O. R. R. be equally benefitted. Our interests are mutual and this road would be as equally beneficial to one as to the other. Craven county or the A. &N.C. R.R. could either build this road and be amply repaid in a very short time. But we don't ask this, we are only crying for help. Shall we get it. COVE. March 13.

Mrs. Lane of Tarboro is visiting her son Mr, 0. D. Lane here. ' ' We are glad to note that Muter Fred Eubanks who 'was reported quite sick last week is much better. After spending several days at Per fection, Miss Fannie Avery returned Sunday to the delight of her many friends. We think a young man in Cove had better do more courting when awake and not so much while asleep, especially when company la around. Henon. Money For War.JNot Missions.
