TIm Ruling
A young contractor In a Missouri
town found himself after the war In
dire financial straits. He owned a few
pieces of property, nil of which were
mortgaged, the mortgage In each in
stance being held by an old man who
lived with bis one son. Brocky. in a
tumbledown hut that could not be
rented to any one else. In the course
of time the miser foreclosed, taking
over all the contractor's property,
which was valued in excess of the
amounts loaned. The contractor began
to pay rent on the house In which he
lived. Three months nfter the fore
closure the miser lay dying. An urgent
message reached the contractor, and
lie, supposing that the other, knowing
Ms end to be near, wanted to make
what restitution he could for the good
of his soul, hurried dowm to the cabin.
He found the old man In a rickety bed,
covered with a tattered quilt and an
old overcoat. The contractor bent his
car hopefully to tbe other's lips. The
' raiser drew a long breath, clutched
I the quilt in a skinny hand and whle-

VISITORS GREATLY IMPRESSED
Present Activities Have Prevail
ed For More Than Two .
Yeara.
Visitors to New Bern cannot fail
to be impressed with the marked,
building activity which prevails at
the present time and which has been
in progress for many months. The first
structure that attracts the attention
of a stranger just arriving in the city
is that being erected at the corner of
Griffith and Queen streets by Dr. G.
A. Caton. This is a three story brick
building and is rapidly ncaring com
pletion. Coming on down in the business
section of the city he would eec the
handsome brick store being erected
on Broad St. by L. H. Cutler. Sr. The
contractors are rushing this work to
completion as rapidly as possible and
hope to have it in readiness by the
latter part of this month. On the corner
of Middle aad Broad streets George
C. Eubank is erecting a commodious
brick structure which, when completed
will be occupied by a mercantile firm.
Continuing further down Broad street
he will find that a large force of work
men are now engaged in adding the
finishing touches to J. B. Blades
palatial home. This structure is one
of the costliest as well as one of the
most attractive in the State and
admired by every one who views it
On Craven street, near the corner of
Pollock .workmen have just completed
tearing down the frame building torm
erly occupied by theejournal and with
in a lew days the contractors will be
gin the erection of a large brick (true
ture to be u?ed by the owner, Eugene
Williams, as a garage.
HKetracing his etcps and visiting
the Northern end of East Front Street
he will find that a commodious frame
dwelling is being erected at that point
and on going out National avenue he
will find several homes now in course
of construction. Among these, one is
owned by William Dunn, Sr., and
another by John Taylor. Contracts
fcr the erection of several other buildings
in this locality have been awarded and
work on them will be started just as
soon as the material can be secured.
Crossing the city to the recently
opened suburb of Ghent the visitor
will hnd that a mammoth casino, owned
bu the New Bern Ghent Street Railway
( ompany, is now in course of constru-
tiun and the work being pushed ahead
just as rapidly as possible. Within a
month or two this company will begin
to erect a number 'of attractive homes
in the new suburb and the contracts
for some of these have already been
awarded.
The contract for the erection of
fireproof building to cover the city's
water and light plant is in the hands
of the contractors and operations will
be started just as soon as the material
can be secured. In that ecction of
the city there are several small frame
structures now in course of construc
tion, and others, it is learned, will be
erected at an early date.
In additioa to the buildings in couse
of erection which arc mentioned above
there arc several others located in
different points of the city, but those
mentioned arc ones most noticeable
and most likely to attract attention
of the casual observer. This condition
of marked building activity has pre
vailed for the past two years and from
present indications ' will continue for
several years longer.
