' Mr. Babcock, representing the inter ests of the Norfolk & Southern road at the Jamestown Exposition is in the city interesting citizens in the enterprises' He met a committee of the Board of ' Aldermen at the Little Gem hotel last night and told of what the company ' proposed to do in the way of making exhibits and he desired a reasonable co-operation from the people of this I section. He presented at length the ( proposition of the railroad. ' ' The cor poration nas engageu to lane a certain pumber of square feet and will devote it to advertising and developing the country through which the railroad runs.- No expense will be Spared that will make this feature a success. He is endeavoring to arrange for an exhi bit from New Bern or at least to have some representation of her industries and capabilities. He counselled first having a booklet published which will advertise this section by means of sou venir books and photographic pictures of different parts of the city. The book he suggested should have a goo i historical, commercial and indus trial account of Craven, Carteret and Pamlico counties, well illustrated with good cuts and printed to the number of ten thousand. The picture is one that is quite expensive, yet it will serve a goad purpose in being put in a conspicu ous place and will certainly attract at tention. It measures about six feet in length and comprehends a space from one-half mile to one mile in width. It is taken with a large camera and is an exceedingly clear and distinct one. Mr. Babcock explains in full his mis sion and urged with all his power the supreme advantage of having some thing of an exhibit. The officials of the Norfolk & Southern Railroad will visit New Bern in a few days and will have more to say on the subject Mr. Bab cock has gained the co-operation of several men, and it is quite likely that something will be done in this line.

The fiscal year .of the State has opened very well, jn the matter pf new . corporations chartered six of these having been issued toda,y, all for mercantile companies in the mi nor, towns.

A Bad Nigger in Riustoh Was In Trouble in This City , Two Years Ago. Kinston Free Press, IB: i After hearing evidence Justice J. O Cox. Tueaday, fixed the bond of George Harper, the bad negro who shot up Hinea Bros', railroad camp Monday night, at $1,000, in default of which Harper was placed in jail. ',"' Harper is undoubtedly a nervy negro. if the atones told on him are true. One is that two years ago he shot a negro in New Bern and was arrested and locked up by a policeman. While the officer was telling the mayor about the arrest Harper escaped from the jail. He then went to the mayor's office and told the mayor that the negro who had just been locked up for shooting another had escaped and was running up Craven street. . The mayor didn't know Harper and believing bim sent officers up Cra ven Gtroet and Harper went down Cra ven street and out of town and escaped. He spent two years in the mining sec tion of West Virginia, where it is said, he has been in trouble frequently. Loco !De3l9. The weather is quite cool and cloudy now, hope it will clear oil soon.

II more or less of the above symptoms are present, no Invalid woman can do better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, one of the leading Ingrwil ents of which Is Unicorn root, or Belonias. and the medical properties of which it most faithfully represents. Of Golden Seal root, another prominent Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription," Prof. Finley Elllngwood, M. D., of Ben nett Medical College, Chicago, says: "It is aa important remedy In disorders of the womb. In all catarrhal conditions and general enfeeblemenl, It is useful." Prof. John M. Scndder, M. D late of Cincinnati, says of Uoldea Seal root : " In relation to Its general effects on the system, that is no medieim in hm about which Vun 4s such general unanimity of opinion. It Is universally regarded as Uu) tonic useful in all debilitated states." Prof. Bartholow, M. D.. of Jefferson Medical Ifollege, says of Golden Seal : "Valuable In uterine hemorrhage, menor rhagla (Hooding) and congestive dyamenor rbo3a (painful menstruation)." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription faith-, fully represents all the above named in gredleiiw and cures the diseases for which they are recommended. short passing Events. r For the fifth consecutive time last night there was no northern cennee tion at Goldsboro. The statement of the Journal about this failure being the rule and not the exception is being veri fied daily. " The subscription dance of the K of P. Hand set for December 27th, has been postponed indefinitely. Joe Moore, a well know. negro of Bridgeton died suddenly last Sunday with a hemorrage of the brain. The shopper who puts off buying his presents till the last day will get left 8nd he ought to. Turkeys are still roosting high. Evi dently they knew a good thing when they see it and. are bound to keep the supply less than the demand. Christ mas turkey will be something of a rar ity. Several boats came to the city yes terday loaded with oysters. They were of the largest quantity and fluent q .iali tv that hive been brought here this season. ? The Journal office has received a copy of the Asheville Magazine, a literary Deriodical of that city in which is a very interesting account of the Hay wood county fair by our former towns' man, James E. Carraway. He is large ly interested in that institution and has helped to make the fair the most sue cessful in the State. His story is worth reading. . Madame DuVat.Jthe '-Queen of the Air'' artist, who is to make the ascen sion tomorrow night in front of McSor ley's Pollock street store,' , will arrive this morning to make the necessary preparations for her ascensions. - There was a small attendance at the Law and Order League meeting last night, the weather being wet and stormy. There was no official business transacted, Notice of special matters of public interest, at Ihe January meet ing, was given and the same will be given in the Journal The case of Andrews vs A & N C Co. was heard in Kinston (his week and a verdict was rendered yesterday in fa vor of the plaintiff awarding $5,000. the case arose out of damages in the killine of Mr. Andrews whose estate brought the suit some two years ago. Sloppy weather yesterday interfered to some extent with holiday shopping, and those who have not done their pur chasing will probably have to go out in disagreeable weather. It's always well to "make hay while the sun shines." . WiJIhm Hyman, -one of the ollest and best known draymen of the city, a prominent member ' of St .

Burton, chair man of the Rivera and Harbors Committee of the House of Representa tives. The citizens expect that by having Mr. Burton personally investi gate the needs of a deep water way there, he can intelligently act on the appropriation hoped for. ; Please Mister Electric Light Man, give us good lights every night, so SanttfTJlaue can find New Bern!

The start will be made from in front of Mc Sorley 'g Pollock street store and the descension will be somewhere. . " ' . Wood seems to be unusually scarce and sells high. The country carts are bringing in but very little, . or the boats either. A boat came up from Oriental Thursday with a load of green. pine slabs which sold readily at sixty five cents the load at the dock. A severe freeze would be rather awkward for people who have to depend upon wood fires.- V.v' , The bad weather the past two days has had a very depressing effect on the merchants, .while a good many people have come to town through the rain to make their Christmas purchases. A great many more would have come had the weather been good. Should itclear up today no doubt there will be a big trade here Saturday ana Monday. The docks were cleat of boats Thurs day night The ugly weather coming on caused what few that were in to hasten their return home. It is re marked that the boat trade haa fallen off Very materially this fall. Several gasolene boats are plying betwesn diff erent points on a semi regular schedule, which handle most of the freight brought and carried away from hero. A coop of turkeys arrived here yes terday which attracted some attention because of the unique construction of the coop. The coop was at least twelve feet long made of poles with the bark on, the whole jo'nted together in rustic simplicity, while there were only a few nails used in its building, it was strong and capable to stand much rough handling. : . , .The old fashioned "Christmas jug" has disappeared, at least it is no more in New Bern, and in its ph.ee one sees the square pasteboard express package. But it is "booze'' all the same. , The consumer pays for bottles, packing handling, freight and other extras now to get his Christmas poison. The name of D. W. Dowdy in the list of those in tho mayor's court for the illegal sale of liquor was an error. The name should have been Lion Dowdy. Ajietcoon created a little diversion which helf ed to relieve the monotory of a dreary day, Thursday, ot the foot of Middle Btreet . The coon runs at Urge on the street and hs betimw. formed the acquaintance of a plump, playful little puppy, whose retreat is in tbe neighborhood of the dock. Every day the coon hies himself away to meet his friend for a fiolic which sometimes lasts for an hour or more. Their antics yesterday attracted the attention of some visitors in town and in a little while quite a crowd had gathered and notwithstanding the falling rain, the fun was enjoyed the same aa a show The animals it seems, are very friendly and never disagree.
