The Journal has not received the "first cotton blossom" yet for this sea sons, although it is scarcely time to ex pect it. In 19(4 the first cstton blos om was received at this office from Fort Barnwell and was plucked Juno 20th. The year 1905 was a little later, tho first heine- June 22nd. and received from Jasper. The Presbyterian Sunday School pic nic which was to have taken p'aoe yes terday was postponed on account ot tlipr Notice of new date will be given in Sunday School next Sunday. Mr. George A. Wood, secretary oi' the local board of examiners of Civil Service Commission, received the re sult of the examination held here June 2nd. There were nine men and eight women touk the examinations and of these three men and seven women passed. A fact which should furnish food for reflection Miss Bertie Wil liams had the highest per cent. The examinations wore for clerk and carrier of the post oflice department. The steamer Howard will leave this Thursday moraine at S o'clock for Pollocksville. Trenton and other points on Trent river, on regular service. Many were the calls yesterday to look after leaking roofs. Th6 unusual heavy downfall of rain did not fail to bring the frogs' to the front. It was one continuous chorus throughout the day. Mr. Chauncey L. Southern will play a three nig hts engagement at the opera house commencing with Monday. The opening WW will be : Balasco's favor ite piece "The Lost Paradise." Prices 18, 20, 3D. Wanted-The name and address of Dummy, to whom two packages of "medicine" were shipped to in this city. The other Dummy has the "goods," and will hold them for thirty days. Peaches are being offered on the market in small quantities. The quali ty is only ordinary yet, hut the price is all right. Some cling stone varieties were offered Thursday for 25 cents the quart basket, or a basket of thfee quarts for a half dollar. The best free stone fruit yet received is from the Newport farm of Messrs. Ives. The carload of Florida watermelons received here this week has been dis posed of in lots to the merchants, and are being slowly retailed. The price is too high, being forty and fifty cents each, to tempt the average citizen, About ten cents is the limit for them to be used by the "brother" as an arti cle of food. The Kins ton Free Press announces the first cotton blossom of the season in this end of the State. The bloom was plucked from the farm of Mr, Murray Phillips of the Lenoir Swamp section of Lenoir county and was re ceived by the Free Preis, Thursday, June 14th. The Irish potatoes offered by the green grocers are mostly of an inferior quality. - Some are very small, about - the size of marbles and are sold by the " pint' and 'quart like berries. Larger ones are sold by the dozen, about the izeof eggs. Boit riding has become a favorite afternoon amusement for New Bern people. After the rain cleared up Thurs day, it being delightfully calm and pleasant, Neuse and Trent rivers were soon dotted with the noisy little gaso lene boats, bearing animated and hap py crews." It is a very healthful recrea tion and what a blessing if gome plan was clovitted whartthv t.hn twiw mitrht . - -' I " ",. . occasionally enjoy these pleasant ex cursions, cheaply.

Midyett, from his River Side fanii, has been putting in large shipments of potatoes and fancy stock for the season. His is an ideal farmer. The same may be said of his beautiful home and its convenient and lovely lo cation. A man's value to his communi ty and fellows resides in his usefulness in aidiiic self, community and employ ees without injury to employer. Mr. Midyett is progressive. His men through his instrumentality are better aided to advance. Every morning and evening bathing is quite a sport. Sad for the "scarry," an alligator about nine and a half feet long played around the wharf Wednes day causing some excitement and gos sip for the day. John Dixon took sev eral shots at the monster, but without effect. For those wishing to take a week off from business. I know of no better plaee than Oriental for quiet and rest.

BOARD OF COHMISHON- BRS TO THE MAGISTRATES OF CRA VJN COUNTY. FINANCIAL EXHIBIT For year ending December 1, 1905. New Bern, N. C, June 4 '06 The Board of Commissioners beg to submit for your consideration, the fol lowing report of the general affairs of Craven County, to wit: RECEIPTS From taxes as per tax list of 1904 and unlisted taxables including Merchant tax, license tax, schedule "B" tax, etc. 157911 86 Less the following items, viz: Reduc tions, insolvent and errors allowed by Board of Commis sioners $4-118 43 Sheriff's Commis sion 2722 51 Treasurers' Cem aiissioa 1001 14 Paid Craven Coun ty School fund. 1,5644 58 -$2,3386 71 $3,4524 65 EXPENDITURES County poor $ 3135 17 Bridges and ferries 4427 99 Bailroad bonds paid 7000 00 Expense of courts 3886 18 Interest paid on bonds 1840 00 Expense of Small-pox 2504 17 Marriage license paid State 240 00 Fences ... 377 53 Coroners inquests 445 80 Sheriff and jail fees including maintainence and repairs on Court House and jail 3426 06 Mksoelleanous expenses includ ing expenses of office of Regis ter of Deeds aad Clerk of the Court, Board of: Commissioa era, Supt of Health, County Attorney, and all other miscel- leanous expenses 6483 66 $3,3766 56 OUTSTANDING BONDS RaHread bonds, balancs of issue of year 1879 $4925 00 Bridge bonds, " " " of year 1879 22,000 00 Total bonded debt now out- v.Bfcwrifa $2,6525 00 UnpAdVuehers 1786 60 -y' V tjvum , JtAJkfcffSfcKB AND FERRIES "'The bridge today over the several streams in the county are in fair con dition, and wo are doing our best to keep them so, but the constantly in creasing cost of lumbar out of which they are all built is forcing a problem upon us that must sooner or later be met The rapid decay of these bridges requires constant ear in order to keep them in repair and is an item of ex pens and concern of no mean propor tion.,. , ;. ' We cannot say that tit time has ar rived, but it evidently ia drawing rap idly near when we shall have to seek soma other and mora durable material out of, which to construct our bridges, Experience it demonstrating that noth ing equals iron m the matter of dura bility and . absolute, economy. , And while their first cost may be much greater, the after repairs amounting to a f Taction wilt make them much cheaper m the end than wooden bridges which require constant repairs. We would therefore recommend that this matter be given serious thought Let ua ascertain what ia best COUNTY ROADS. The matter of 'road building Is one that ia exciting the attention and in terest of people who study economic auestions the country over. In the fu ture t'.e material advancement of each agricultural section must necessarily be measured largely by the condition of the roads, by the ease and economy by which farm products may be trans ported to a market. Each year accel erates the movement of the industrial world and if we would keep pace with its progress we mast adopt such meas ures as give us a chance in the race.' Good roads, when intelligently built. " worth aH They enhance the valua ot Property through which ney run wn'ch more than equals the c 01 construction. The matter ot Kd roads as associated with their cost has ceMe to be one of speculation and dbt re 8 Mally "!- tive necessity. The work on our county roads has so far been limited, and done in a rather crude way. There is at present a force of convicts on the Trent road. This work, while by ne means equal to our wishes, is nevertheless done in quite a creditable manner, and will add a step ping stone to better things which we hope ultimately to obtain. We wish to state, however much we may desire to extend good road build ing, our limited resources compels us to confine our work to a comparatively small area; but, be assured as circum stances justify you are increasing the amount appropriated for good roadB, so will the value and enhancement of agricultural and commercial interest keep pace. Just now the money avail able for this purpose does not make it possible to purchase the necessary equipments for doing the work as .ef fectively as we would desire. THE COUNTY HOME Since our last report we are glad to say that we have been able to make some decided and much needed im provements in the County Home. A portion of the old buildings that had reached a stage of decay that rendered them unsanitary, have been torn down and more modern buildings const racted Ai soon as we feel i.i a position to do so, we expect to substitute better buildings for those remaining. When we nonsummate our contemplated im provements the County Home will be as comfortable as could reasonably be espected of our county. THE ATLANTIC 4 NORTH (-AHOI.INA RAILROAD: Since our last report in reference to the A. & N. C. railroad, matters reached that stage when your Commis sioners thought it a duty they owed the people of this county to investigate and ascertain if it were not possible to have our Courts revoke and render null and voide th lease that took the title of this road from the hands of the people. A suit is now pending an appeal be fore the Supreme court for the annul ment of this lease. If that body shall pass favorably upon the matter, it will put back in its originality this impor tant road. And. if it does, we are ad vised and believe thet this property Can be re-leased if desired, upon terms of fifty per cent or more above the present arrangement, besides with pro visions that will fully and amply pro tect our people from excessive charges. THE COURT HOIIHE Since our last meeting, material im Drovements have been made on our County court house. The roof, which was reaching a bad and leaky condition has been repaired, and the outside of the buildings have been painted. Other improvements the Board hope to make before the elese of another year. THE COUNTY JAIL. This building, when constructed, was ample for our county's needs, but that was many years ago. Today it is not adequate to meet the county's necessi ties. Another story needs to be added to the building and several additional steel oells. With the improvements contemplated, we will have an abso lutely safe building and one with mod em sanitation. ' " TAX LEVY.

The ProgrtM ol the Timet Dsmindt That wo Hsvt Mors Modors Structure ror th Municipality.' The Journal has from time to time kept things stirred up about the streets, trees,. electrie lights . and Others and now it desires to turn-the attention of the citizens to the city tiall. Does tho public think its pretty ? The big whito ' pile of nameless architecture is getting to be an eyesore and when it was built it was intended either for a livery sta ble or a shooting gallery. It was evi dently built for use and not for beautv and we will say this much that it has served its' purpose admirably and we would not subject it to criticism for a single moment without giving the his toric old structure due credit .But the fact of the matter is that New Bern is growing, the old city hall is proving too small for the increasing obligations I hat it is required tg be put to. A more convenient ar.d commodi ois building and by all means it needs to be more sightly. ' Stingers find a good thing to ridicule and they are not slow tods so either. -;;Now that the Elks are to have a magnificent' temple, and the building interests in the city are looking up why not agitate the mat ter of a new city hall inasmuch as tho old one is not safe!?
