Prof. Wilson organized a singing class
at Pitthian's Hall last Monday afternoon
with quite a number of 86holar8.
We heard a young man say the other

Take Carraway's Liver Pills to keep

Barrett's circus will show in Tarboro
on the 28th inst. Doubtless a good many
of our people will have business in Tar

may go will be pleased.
On last Saturday two young men, from
the f uf al districts, happened to get on too
much "popskulV and engaged in a little
rencounter, for whicli they wete bfotight

to cool off.
We are indebted to some unknown

The Scotland Neck railroad now has a
new engine. Number 28, a beautiful en
gine, has taken the ptace of the old gravel
train engine that has heretofore pulled
the train. Now we need a daily schedule,
and then our town will flourish.
On last Sunday evening Mr. Edmund
Alexander, of Palmyra, lectured on "The
Intemperate use of Alcohol as a Beverage-,"
to a large and appreciative audience.
He handled the subject with ability and
firmness, which will, no doubt, be of
great benefit to the community.
There was a pic-nic at Savage's mill, a
few miles from town, on last Friday, for
which we return thanks to the managers,
Messrs. C. G. Thigpen, G. A, Allsbrook,
W. J. Davenport and Dr. E. T. Speed,
for an invitation. We regret our inability
to be present, but learn from those that
were there, that everything passed off
in a charming and pleasant manner.
We direct the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of Vine Hill Male
Academy, which may be found in another
column. This school opens the first
Monday in September and, under its
present splended management, parents
and guardians will find it one of the best
schools in Eastern Carolina and they
should at once prepare their boys to enter
at the beginning of the session. Located
in one of the healthiest towns in this sec
tion of the State, the Vine Hill Academy
offers advantages unsurpassed by any
other school in the State.
The tall session of Vine Hill Female
Academy will open Monday, September
4, 1882. This school closed its last term
with 44 scholars, and the exhibit made
by the young ladies at the closing exer
cises was highly creditable to themselves
and reflected credit upon the teachers.
This school is under the supervision of
Misses Lena Smith and S. E. McDowell,
two competent teachers who will thor
oughly instruct the young ladies confided
to their charge. The academy is in the
nrpitt.ipst. and healthiest Dart of the town
x a
and offers every inducement to parents
having youne girls to educate. The
terms are moderate; the teachers are
christian ladies who will exert a good in
fluence over their pupils. We take great
pleasure in recommending this excellent
school.
A Charming Entertainment.
Next Saturday night our people will have
the privilege of attending one of the most
charming entertainments that Scotland
Neck has ever known. Prof. Willoughby
Reade, an elocutionist who has certainly
found "the lost art," will actually be
here next Saturday night and will give
one of his delightful entertainments in
Pittman's Hall. We are sure the Prof,
will have one of the largest and most re
fined audiences that ever assembled in
this town, and we can safely promise all
who may attend an intellectual treat that
is rarely offered in small towns.
The late lamented Senator Hill says of
Prof. Reade's entertainment. 'The best
I ever attended."
Rev. Dr. J. L. M. Curry, one of the
most eloquent ministers in the Baptist
Church of Virginia, says: "I would give
a thousand dollars if I conld read 'Karl,
the Blacksmith,' as Prof. Reade does."
A good many of our people have heard
Prof. Reade nl they know that he has
few equals and no superiors. We again
remind our readers that a treat is in store
for. them next Saturday night. Let every
body attend wd give the Prof, a large
xnuience
Welcome Visits. Our sanctum was
invaded last week by some of Scotland
Neck's' fairest and" sweetest daughters.
We are always glad to see the ladies, and
we are happy to know that the charming
creatures are taking a lively interest in
The Commonwealth. The latch string
hangs on the outside of the door and we
will be pleased to see the ladies at any
time We would suggest, however, if
they desire to see our press at work, that
they visit the office on Wednesday after
noons, any time between four and half
past five. But we will be glad to see
them at any time.
Lecture. Mr. Edmund Alexander
delivered a lecture in Pittman's Hall last
Tuesday night on ''Object Teaching,
Uniform System of Books, etc., and read
an essay on "A Graduating System tor
Public Schools." He was greeted by
quite a good audience and his lecture was
well received. Mr. Alexander is quite a
young man, ana nis style oi aeiivery is
remarkably good. His voice is strong
d he made many apt and hap
and clear our public
py illustrations, showing m i
schools are conducted, and the necessiv,
for a uniform system of books for the
schdok. Mfi Alexander's lectures are
calculated to do much good and we sin
cerely hope his efforts in behalf of educa
tion may be crowded with success.
Greenwood Scrapings A good
many of the Scotland Neck people attend
ed the pic-nic given at Savage's mill last
Friday. They all had a delightful time.
Miss Winnie Taylor of Battleboro, who
has been on a visit to Miss Minnie Ed
mondson, returned home last Friday.
Mr. M. P. Darden is spending a short
time with friends and relatives in Ply
mouth. Mr. D. Edmondson has one of the finest
crops in this section on the Greenwood
farm".
MissSaliie Speed has quite a good
school and we trust she may continue to
receive a liberal share of the children
needing instruction in this section.
ALMOST A FAILURE.
THE MEETING LAST WEDNESDAY PLEN
TY OF MEAN WISKEY, BUT LITTLE
ENTHUSIASM.
The Republicans of this township held
a meeting here on Wednesday the I6th
inst. for the purpose of sending delegates
to the County Convention which will
meet in Halifax next Saturday. There
was a very slim attendance and the
darkies did not enter into the spirit of
the meeting worth a cent. But they con
tinued to pour the spirits down until they
began to get lively. Several fights and
collisions occurred, but we learn that no
damage was done.
We noticed that one of the speakers,
in the very midst of his eloquence, had
about a handful ot inattentive listeners
The colored voters in this section do not
seem tc take much interest in the coming
election. It is indeed a very hard matter
to get up a meeting and there is now . no
such thing as getting up any enthusiasm.
The darkies are beginning to learn that
prominent ex-Democrats are now the
candidates they are to support, and they
do not take kindly to the bitter pill, for
it is a bitter pill for Republican darkies
to walk up to the polls and cast their bal
lots for the very men their party leaders
have heretofore told them would be the
ruin of the Republican party, if elected
to office. And they will ruin the party.
Already we see the lethargy and indiffer
ence manifested by the colored voters.
The meetings are a failure , the speakers
wince when they say vote for old wheel
horses of Democracy , these sore-headed
Democrats who have come over to us and
want offices.
It was indeed a hard matter for the
Republicans to get an audience last
Wednesday, and we see all along the
lines, and in all parts of the county, the
same indifference manifested, that is so
far as the Liberal ticket is concerned,
they do not like to swallow it, but the
leaders show the old party lash and they
will be compelled to fall in line.
BARRETT S GREAT
SHOWS.
RAILROAD
Saturday last the town of Weldon was
i i i 1 1 . .
eany astir ana tne country people com
menced to pour in. Of course it was gen
erally known that Barretts great show
was to exhibit and the people soon crowd
ed the side walks and every available
window waiting for the parade. This
when it came off was one of the most
creditable we have ever seen. The horses
and vehicles were in the best condition,
showing that the circus is indeed one of
the best.
One of the best things about Barretts
circus is,there were no profane, or vulgar
expressions from the clowns, nothing, in
fact, to disgust refined people, and it may
be termed a strictly moral circus. The
actings were much above the average and
many of the actors are indeed stars. The
managerie is the best we have seen with
any traveling show and all the animals
look fresh and lively. There are
many rare and curious living wonders on
exhibition. The programe gave better
satisfaction than that of any show that
has ever visited Weldon. Many of the
performances are simply wonderful, new
and novel, and even the sayings of the
clowns are entirely different from the old
worn out and hackneyed phrases generally
used. The tumbling was splended and
tne bicycle riding on a smgle wire, sus
pended many feet in the air was marvel
lous. If all circuses were conducted like
Barrett's, then there would no longer be
any objection to them. The entire splen
ded management of these vast shows is
due to Mr. Willis Cobb, the press agent
and general manager. Mr. Cobb is one
of the most courteous and pleasant gen
tleman that we have ever had any dealings
with. He is certainly the right man in
the right place and to him we are indebted
for many courtesies extended to us. The
general yerdiet of tJie people js tfoaf Ear
vis-
ited Weldon
We learn that the show will visit Scot
land Neck some time in October, and
when they do come, we can safely prom
ise them the best house they have had in
this State. Our Railroad is now com
pleted, and a monster railroad show, like
Barrett's, coming for the first time over it
will excite this entire community, and
seats under their vast tents will be worth
a premium on that gala day,

OTJR ENFIELD LETTER.
iSpecial correspondence Commonwealth.
Enfield, Aug. 22, 1882.
The impromptu hop given to the visi
tor's on Wednesday evening, was a very
pleasant attair, notwithstanding the small
attendance. Being, very select, you
know, it was what we call a "nice little
hop,"
Of the .visitors lit attendance, there
Were, Miss Lippitt of Wilmington, Miss
Kate Kong, Weldon,- Miss Fenner, Scot
land Neck, Miss Boyle', Hamilton, Miss
Kraker, Richmond, Miss Bryan, Tarboro,
Miss .Gregory, Halifax, and Miss Lee,
Tallahassee, Fla.
Misses Minnie. Nannie and Belle Whit-
aker, and Miss Bettie Corbitt, were the
only home girls.
With cue or two exceptions, snowy
white dresses, all gdtteil Up With embroid
ery and laces were worn a kind df regu
lation evening dress.
Of all the fabrics worn on such occa
sions, none surpasses the pure white mus
lin for real loveliness The show of silks
and satins attracts the attention momen
tarily, and one can but admire, b ut they
cannot in themselves call forth the pleas
ant thoughts suggested by the typical
white.
As I cannot realize the fact, am aston
ished every time I go to the rink, to
sec so many lovely girls on the eve of
making their debut into the social world.
Heretofore we have had more boys than
girls, but within twelve or eighteen
months it will be the reverse; and I make
an unvarnished statement when I say
don't think I ever saw a set of prettier
girls.
The sixty thousand dollar negro pur
porting to hail from Victoria B. C, and
who purchased Mr. W. P. Whitaker's
farm with everything pertaining thereto
for twelve thousand five hundred dollars
after searching the records to ascertain
whether the title was good, and drawing
a check for a large amount and depos
iting it with one of our merchants,
was "headed off" by a man from Victo
ria who happened to know a thing or two,
causing him to vamose.
His game was a big one, as the above
Durchase was only to make him a free-
holder and give him all the rights of
citizen.
The curious are very much exercised
over the matter.
On Saturday the Rads held a meeting
for the purpose of electing delegates from
this Township to the county convention.
their best man, Reynolds, was sat upon
because, as some say, he was neutral in
the congressional squabble. Speeches,
vituperative and personal, were the order
of the day. The complexion of the meet
ing was very dark.
The negroes havn't any love for O'Hara,
but they are a little afraid of him, and
he has succeeded in pulling the wool over
their eyes pretty effectually. In other
words, he has conjured them. In his
speech, O'Hara went for the Ilubb's fac
tion unmerciluiiy. ana a report comes
from Whitaker's that, someone went for
him in like manner. So far, it has been
only a pulling of wool, but when the fur
begins to fly, 1 want to be on hand.
Occasionally I hear something about a
race track. The lovers of fine horses
want a track but, one waits for the other
to take the initiative. Now, unless some
one will do so, and go ahead in earnest,
it will end in vapor.
'Tis a well known fact that Enfield is
behind, comparatively speaking, in the
matter of fast trotters, though the stock
is as good as the average. Build the
track, if that's the word, and bring out
your horses.
Thursday evening is the time appointed
for the tournament. The popularity of
the rink has been abating for some time,
and I am afraid that after the tournament
all interest will be lost," but hope it will
be the beginning of another lease of favor.
The fastest or best selling article in
town Saturday was Kingsbury's Oration
on the life and character of Lowe. For
sale by Mr. Watkins at ten cents.
Watermelons are so plentiful there is
no apparent demand for them.
re tt's is the best circus that has ever
and "buer iuicfi" rlnwoH
pretty freely Saturday but all was quiet.
There are two fellows in town Who
sleep so much on Sundays they cannot
sleep at night, so they are never in a hur
ry to leave, when spending the evening
out. Last night, the lady of the house
threatened to send for the mavor if tw
did not go instanter. j
A good many went to the circus.
and
who
all had lots of fun except the fellow
saw the "elephant."
Through a waiter, I learn that a party
of young ladies, accompanied by a young
man, entered the Hotel the other day os
tensibly to look at the parlor and fifi
judgment. They were heard to nro
i i f - . . "
lucmseives m very lavorable terms. Af
terward, glasses were found on the cen-
trfi tlln in tirli.sil. - ' - i m .
. wcic panicies oi ice
ana slices of lemon, and they omitted a
tantalizing odor of sherry. Evidently
sherry-coblers were in order. Shock-
ing(!)
In your last issue, you make me say
"Dr. Drummer." It should have been
"Der Drummer" quoting Curtis in "Sam
ofPosen."
In a pamphlet of ten pages, Mr. Swee
ney makes a second appeal to the "citi
zens of Enfield and vicinity," asking their
cooperation and support, in "the speedy
erection of an Academy in oar town for
the highei education of our children.'
He tells them that, because they have
failed so often in the endeavof to found a
good school, is no reason why they should
lose all interest, and despair of ever es
tablishing the academy. He repudiates
the common idea that, on account of the
locality a school cannot thrive here, and
asks what benefit is derived from the
schools in higher latitudes when vacations
are spent at home during the "sickly
season," so called. Read the pamphlet.
The most disagreeable and abominable
thing I know is the whistle on engine 39,
and it is the source of more oaths and ex
ecrations. It is suggestive of everything
horrible. Unearthly and bloodcurdling,
it makes ones flesh creep and chills the
marrow in our bones, specially at the
midnight hour. From the plaintive wail
of the young infant to a cry of intensest
agony from the gentle cooing of a dove
to a helpless cry of despair, and, from
the murmurings of distant lamentation
and woe, to the heart-rending shriek of
painful, sudden death. It is "awfully"
awful.
The engineer knows how to play, on it,
and I verily believe takes a savage delight
m doing so.
"I wish that d n thing would bust,"
is as familiar as the whistle.

A CARD.
Rf ChMonD, Va. ,
Aug, 16 1882
To the Editor of the Dispatch :
Mv attention this morning
has
been called to the following prepos
ml
terous article, which appeared in tuS
Lynchburg Virginian:
An Outrage. while en route to
Scottsville via the Richmond and Al
leghany road Sunday the circus
train of S. H. Barrett & Co. stopped
at Diilard's tank for the purpose of
taking on water, which detained the
train only a few minutes ; but in that
brief period the thieves connected
with that show found time to com
mit a most outrageous theft upon the
property of an old negro named Sam
uel Johnson. They marched boldly
to the old man's watermelon patch,
which is situated alongside of the
railroad, and coolly helped them
selves to over two hundred dollars'
worth of melons. Judge William
Dillard. our iaformant, and on whose
place Johnson resided, says the suf
ferer is nearly blind, and that the
sale of these melons (nearly all of
which were stolen) was the only wa3r
in which the old man realized a sup
port for himself and family. We
hope that an active effort will be
made to bring these bold marauders
to justice."
Any farmer or planter who knows
anything about truck-farming will
see how utterly untrue such a state
ment is. The watermelons only sold
for five cents apiece, and there must
of course have been 4,000 ripe water
melons in the patch, which was less
than a fifth of an acre of ground.
Nothing could be more improbable.
The truth of the matter is that
when the train stopped at the water
tank a negro hired by the show in
Lynchburg went into the patch, and
in the presence of the owner started
to take up a melon, when the old ne
gro struck him over the head with
an ax-handle. Barrett's men bought
a few from the negro, paying five
cents apiece for them.
The injustice and unkindness of
the notice in the Virginian is so pat
ent that I hardly deem a denial nec
essary, except for the act that Bar
rett & Co. have a reputation, in the
defence of which they are so zealous
as to overlook scruples even of the
smallest kind in sustaining them
selves in the good opinion of the peo
ple whenever it becomes necessary.
The whole statement, so far as
"marauding'' and stealing is concern
ed, I brand as entirely untrue pal
pablv false so far as Barrett's men
are concerned. I houe the press, to
Hard cider
whom I am so Well known, will not
give credence to such a libellous
charge, and if convenient give me
the benefit of this denial.
Very respectfully,
Willis Cobb,
Press Agent Barrett's Show.

J&gr-Whcn Planters buy a true Ammo
niated Super Phosphate made chiefly
fom Slaughter House Meat and Bone for
$25 per ton at the factory, cash, it is folly
to pay out money for the high cost Fer-
f;iivYT- IVnnHi's 25 Phosphate is of
Kuaranteed standard. Analysis on every
bag same as on circular.
The past season in the south has clear
ly shown Planters that the low cost Am
moniated Fertilizers paid best on Cotton;
there has never been, in the four years ot
its use, an unfavorable report of its action
Every pound ot Ammonia and Phosphori
Acid in Baugh's $25 Phosphate is prom
ptly available as plant food. Planters
can make their own figures as to the sav
ing they can make by using this article
and at the same time be reasonably sure
of a good crop. .
