I felt that I would like to stay with you a while. 1 hve been very much interested in your uaner and always read it eve'y night before retiring, the reports from your correspondents from, localities where 1 used to be somewhat : acquainted" 40 years ago.. In the afternoon afttr the unveiling of the mor.uncent I boarded the train for Beaufort, but things have tfhnnped so. that there is not many that look as thev (fid in time of the war, the old battle ground but very little remains to show there ever was a battle fought there, the foundation of the old block-house at Havelock is sun visible, the old covered bridge across the stream there, has given way to a treaHa. While mv Company was on duty at the block-house, guarding the old covered bridge, I used to spend a good portion of my time with hook and line, and many a pike I have landed from the stream, about a mile down the stream was an old mill and a family lived there by the name of Guthrie, who had two sons about 20 years of age, I wonder if they are still living? The next place of interest was Newport grown from S small houses to quite a town, Newport Creek looked quite natural Newport Barracks, the re mains of the okl Fort showed quite plainly, there used to be families lived there at that time by the name of Jones and BelL Carolina City came next, and. when I looked across the smooth waters of Bogue Sound, how fresh the memory came back to me, of the days wnen I used to spend my time fishing and clamming in its waters. old bouses to a city of considerable size I next went across to Beaufort and i reeietsred-at Mrs. Davis' Hotel for the night, after supper in company with Mr. Oscar Newkirk, we started out to take in the sights of the place by moon lieht. we Btarted for the boardwalk alone the sound down to the' line be tween the old town and the new, took in the siehts of Mr. Derr's residence along the sound which is a very nice one. Mr. Derr was an engineer on the road between Morehead City and New ' Bern in time of the warj and by the way a Jeiseyman, then to the old jail which looked very natural, also, the Baptist church, then out to the suburbs to the scrubbushes where we use! to catch the mocking birds. In 1862after the fall of Fort Macon our company (I) done provost duty in the town, while on duty there, our company under com mand Qf captain Hufty went to Swans- boro on a sail boat under nag of truce, to take into the Confederate lines, a Confederate Lieutenant from Beaufort and I think his name was Mansfield. The boat was piloted up the sound to Swansboro by a citizen of Beaufort, which I was fortunate enough to find on my trip to Beaufort The building we - were quartered in on Front street, I see is torn down, and some of the old lumber still lying in the yard, and the old market house which stood in the middle of the street has also disappear ed. There was a butcher occupied a stand in it by the name of Hartman. In going from New Bern to Beaufort on the train, I entered into eonversa tion with a gentleman (I did not learn his name) I think he lives in Morehead City, he had a white potato patch which he pointed out to me close to Morehead he asked me what kind of grass seed would be best to sow in a poultry yard. I told him orchard grass, I think if he sees this he will remember thecircum- stances. I would like to have bis name and address. In travelling through your State last spring I saw that your farm ers are up-to-date with their farming and I expect they are now getting ready for next years work.. In reading your Daner I have become very much inter. ested in the way they have controlled the cotton market this year, and I think the way they are getting organ ized they will hold the cotton market in their own hands and reap the reward themselves, instead of those who never ,v a cotton plant grow. We have had i ,.j winter up here, we have had plenty r rain, but no snow or ice, it has been all winter, and the farmers are i g their hot houses ready, for g their seed. The acreage for j tomatoes this year will be about . . !' rl lanrer than last year. With 1 -a Uii'A for the good people of New i mil North Carolina, and a pros' i vear for the Journal. 1 re- SAM'L M.

The boy and some colored men were rafting logs for Captain Whitehurst Lee, and the men got wet and went across the creek to warm by fire they had made. Some one oi the crowd told the boy to come over to the fire, and he staited across the logs, which were not fastened together and he missed and fell between them. The men on the other side of the creek went search of their lost companion and found his cap on the togs and tney knew that he was drowed and they went to work at once and recovered his body, which was taken home. We could not learn his name. We are glad to learn that Mr. G. R. Jones is improving very fast He was hurt at the Pamlico Lumber Co. mill last week.

Oh. God make us lust what thou wouldst have us be, As we lift up to thee, an humble prayer from sin to be free. We are still on life's rugged voyage, we miss thy genial presence to cheer, We miss thy pleasant companionship, so tender and so dear, Oh, why hast thou left us, with nothing to cheer, but tender memories of the past, Can I ever forget, when last we met, little we thought 'twa the last flh. could we. we would not call thee back, fhou art gone to receive thy ricn reward;. Tis sweet to lie down, with a harvest almost reaped, Only to awake, in the tresence of the Lord. Life without thee is like day without sunshine, Bereft, indeed, are we, never to know thy beautiful life, on earth again, But I'll ever cherish the memory of thy wise counsels, in happier days given, That when I close my eyes in death, I'll meet thee in heaven. A Friend. A rather sensational episode occurred here here yesterday afternoon in the marriage of a supposed ebping couple. The couple whose names appeared on the license as A.. S. Monaco and Ruth Thomas of Norfolk called at the Chi 1 1 church rectory to "be married. Rev, Williams suspecting all was not right went to the hotel where they were said to have registered and found that they tered as man and wife. Thinking that i thev would doubtless apply to some other minister he called up Rev. W. A. AyeM as the one next possible who the couple would go to. He was none too quick for he found that Mr. Ay era was just about to perform the ceremony. Mr. Ayeis acting upon the suggestion from Rev. Williams, also refused to make them man and wif. . It is stated that the couple then hunted up a jus tice of the peace and they were mar ried. There was no particular reason why the ceremony should not have been performed in the first placo, but circumstances indicated so , much that was not right that tho ministers felt justified in refusing to serve in their official capacity.; ' The woman was strikingly handsome, an3 apparently 30 to 35 years of age. She said she had been a idow about six months. - ' . v - Fish The( lectura by Mrs. Hollowell of Goldsboro, undor the auspices of the Woman's Club of this city, will be de livered in tho lecture room 'of the Presbyterian church on Wednesday night at 7:45 o'clock.

Meeting. , Special to Journal. . - Raleigh, Feb. a. The cotton grow- ers of this county today effected a strong organization. The feature of their meeting was an address by Gov ernor Glenn, who told them they did not sufficiently esteem themselves. He warned them against leaving the farm for the town, gave especial warning against their arch enemy, the speculat or, and called for the thorough organi zation which alone is able to fight him. He said that if the cotton organization was a trust it was a good one, which meant a fair and legitimate profit; a trust which will give them a roof, clothes, and more bread. ; He called on all to loin and none to .desert. The warehouse plan was strongly endorsed. Pres. C C Moore of the State Asso ciation followed, ,The convention en dorsed Senator Overman's bill; declared tor 10 per cent reduction of acreag and levied a tax of ten cents o n a lal Terrible Suffering! of a Young Lad Retultlnf From Serlout rracturo. Two weeks ago, master Isaac, the fourteen year bid son of ex-chief of police, James Lewis, fell "from a fence while playing with his sister and broke both bones of bis arm. The injury, it was thoutrht was healing as .well as could be expected of Buth a severe ac' cident, but yesterday the boy's condi tion became" much worse. -It ws found on examining the broken arm that it would have' to be broken again and re-set a condition that sometimes occurs in surgery. But the worst fea ture of the case-was that symptoms of lockjaw were manifesting themselves. Dr. Duguid, who has the case in charge quickly administered anti-toxin serum I he only known remedy for tetanus. The boy had suffered several convul sions but after the medicine began to have effect he appeared a little more quiet. While there are many and grave tears for the boy his condition last evening was such that friends had slight hopes that' he would recover. Lockjaw resulting from a broken arm is of very rare occurrence, and the case is therefore very peculiar. Cafea Plants.
