SERM 1 .THE ELKS A Strong And Practical Address To The , Order The Sunday night service at Christ . church was devoted to the Elks. - The local order was present in a body and . they listened to a remarkably strong and practical sermon by the rector, Rev h. G. H. Williami, which was greatly enjoyed by all who heard it. The text was fa'' en from St. Paul's .admonition to the rru'.lipians, "Quench not the spirit; hold last to that which is good." The speaker held that the chief care of the citizen today should ibe that in all their transactions there ' :8houkl be no quibbling as to the possi ble harm that would happen if some little Bin should be committed for the ake of pleasure. Sin is not to be con doned under any circumstances. ; God is first, His worship is first none' can supersede Him, no substitute can be made for Him. We heard in the elo quent addrsarof our governor that .f each Elk li ed i p . to the teachings of the order that they ; would be bettt r men. Christian reform must be made. The stages, although slow have come regularly ti rough the family, the church and then in social, business ai d p .litical circles. , Aim high; hive a steadfast purpose: in life; live bo that temptations to cor ruptness 6ha 1 have no Influence. The .popular cry today is "give us honor, ! give us wealth," and the question veiy properly ari jes, where does the busi ness of the Lord come in? These mat ters have a place in daily life and when Teligion docs enter ou family, business and social life the reforms so badly needed will be commenced. ..

While there have ' been many minor social events, the absence of large ones during the holidays has been quite marked, Insurance Commissioner , Young is notified by the Law Union -and Crown Insurance Company of Great Britain that it will do no business in Noi th Carolina after January 1st.

SHORT PASSING EVENTS. - There was a , large gathering at Christ Church, yesterday afternoon to witness the Christmas celebration of the Sunday school. From the church the adults and children went to the new Parish House where a fine lghted Christmas tree filled with toys was on view. There was a distribution of pres ents to tho children. Santa Claus was there and proved a great favorite. There were very few people who lacked the sense to be out in the rain on Sunday. If they .did" tbo rain drove them back and made them stay in. It was as fierce, driving rain as has been ' seen here and likn tho atnrm nf FruUv. the rain fell all at once.

The year 1905 in New Bern has been one of steady progress and standing at e ena we can see a graiuying aa- vanca over iau4. some Dig ana impor- r.anr. pnternriRPS have hppn cnmnlet.pri r r 1 notable decrease of available build- ing space has been made. The reign f 1 prosperity has nowhere been so much in evidence as in the year 1905, It lias seen the Centenary Methodist church completed, one of the finest church edifices in the State,: two stores have bsen built on Pollock street to re place thesa burned down, the National Bank was remodeled,; the residence of Messrs. W. T. Hill, Waler Duffy, James W. Moore, E. H. Meadows and a tenant house built .for Mrs. W, F, Rountree, Mr. O. A. Kafer has built two houses on Metcalf street; Mrs. H. B.' Duffy has also erected a tenant house on the same street while other houses have been built on that thor oughfare for renting purposes. Among the buildings under the process ot con struction are two stories for J, J. Wolfenden on So. . Front street and houses on Johnson for Mr. Mark Disoa way. . There is still a big demand for houses for renters and several people have in vetted their money in building tenant houseo. We need more of these houses anl the demand is so great thata per son may almost have a house rented be fore it is built. . We have been told that the contractors have many jobs for the coming yetr 1906 and that it will be as busy m way cf building as any previous ye: r. One thing is certain, .building lots ere bung taken up so fast that there will lave to be an annexation to the city for additional lots to be sur veyed." ' In the industrial world . there has been a great deal of activity also. Nearly all the big lumber concerns have added to their plants and one, the New Bern Lumber Company have com menced business on a very large scale; their plant being located in James City at the mouth of Trent river. This con cern is one of the largest of the kind in the Stat?. The Blades Congdon mill has been overhauled and refitted with new machinery; Munger & Ben nett have more than doubled the capa city of their mill and the Pine Lumber C3. has largely increased it working capacity.. The Carolina Stave Co's mill is a new enterprise that will henceforth be a big factor in the march of industrial improvement. An article was publish el about this concern in the Journal a few days ago. The New Bern Iron Works has been placed on a bigger working basis and although they have 'been . seriously handicapped by nres they have pluck- i pluc nd it ny anen anove aimcuities and it is now one of New Bern's best enter prises. : J - ' The Union Point Lumber Co is con templating a much larger mill on the site of the present barrel factory oper ated by Mr. Warren Ellis. The manu facture of staves will ba largely in- creased and a general lu-nber business conducted. Another new industry, which was or ganized last fall is the Wood Pulp mill at James City. The new machinery is being installed and within a few days actual wood will commence. The manufacture of paper is the purpose of the company but for the present they will make wood pulp. This industry is also a new enterprise and will be a ptod ihiiig for the city. They will em ploy CO or 75 men and as a new indii-try in t'u.i flection it f larti with f,.ftoiing '7 I 1...

At no time has there been a .more novel or more appropriate sight seen here and as for the fantastic and 'gro tesque there could have been nothing better Not for several years have ro many teams of oxen been seen on ot r streets doing one things serving one purpose and when they went on parade they set a precedent of their own which will not very likely be followed. The Woodmen of the World . were on their mettle yesterday and they fur- i: nished a lot of amusement which was immensely appreciated. At half past two. the gathering Jn front of Rountree hall the "camp" of the Woodmen indicated that there must be something doing. : The presence of log carts and oxen was also a sign qf unusual transaction and soon the ap pearance of horsemen on mules was the signal for the fun to begin. Wood men armed with axes were on hand everywhere and every one wondered ' wjjere the wood bee was. The Knights of pythia8 band lent excitement to the occa8jon . xhe parade of the Woodmen of the Worlb anticipated and prepared fnrmJaa Ml, was formed as follows: Pfilftf mnrafinl 11. J.

J. Gaskins on mules. The pro cession marched through the principal streets of the city and were the ob served of all observers. Every where they went they were greeted by specta tors.'; The grotesque parade was all the success that the originators planned for it. , Lest night at Hughes hall the public installation of officers and banquet took place. Mayor Hood of Goldsboro was expected to be present and make the leading address but was detained at his home, and Mr. E. B. Lewis of Kinston made the speech, setting forth in a a clear and able manner the motives of the order. : Mr. Lewis also installed the follow ing officers. Consul Commander, C. J. McCarthy. Adit, W.

Mr, Clarke's. Those who have carefully followed this young man's notable achievements in the past declare thai the tole of "Beaucaire" is in a direct line with this actor's ex pressed determination not to deviato from the path of exalted motive, and that it affords him special advantages such as have never before been enjoyed by him. "Beaucaire" with Creston Clarke in the role, will : be of fered here Thursday night, with such matrnificent detail as to war rant the high-sounding compliments from both the public and the press as have been accorded everywhere this attraction has Hp; eared this and last season. 1 ECZEMA OH LITTLE BOY Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts Face Itched Most Fear fullyHands Pinned Down to Prevent Scratching MIRACULOUS CURE BY- CUTICURA' REMEDIES : "-"Wr9 my little boy was six months old, he UI ecsema. The sores extended so quickly orsr tktwhole body that we at once railed in . the doctor. We then Trent to another doctor, but be could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large enough to put finger into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his month was eovsred with crusts s thick as a finger, snd whenever he opened the mouth they began to -bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body, was covered over and over. Wo had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his hands down: otherwise he would cratch bia f&fift. and AlKIHSO HOBXATH. make an open sore. I think his face must have Itched most fearfully. "We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to hurope, hoping that the sea sir might cure him, otherwise he wss to be put under good medical care there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura, We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared it also began to dis appear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth snd white as never before." F.

No surprise is expressed by anyens here that the Charlotte committee whi.h vtr.t o Btimore to see the al leged copy of the Cape Fear Mercury of Juns 3, 1775, found it a fake. S. Willistcn Miller, who claimed .this dis covery, ignored the request of the North Carolina Historical Commission t) send an expert there, to make an examination. : Mr. Ford, of the Nat ional Library, was selected to go, but Miller would answer no letters or tele grams. Miller now stands exposed and the whole matter ends ingloriously. There was but little New Year call ing here. This custom, once bo well ob served, went out of fashion perhaps a dozen years ago, so far as Raleigh is concerned. The Capital and other State and Federal buildings were closed today.
