Annual Heeling. 2 YwUrday ; morning, at 11a. twenty ladies, including officers, met at the Hook and ladder Hall, to attend the annual meeting of this Society. It was regretted exceedingly that a larger number of ladies and gentlemen were not present, not only that they might give their mite to feed God's poor, but that they might give visi ble encouragement to the noble, energetic ana kind-hearted President whose labors in behalf of the destitute have made 'her name a-household word' in every home of OUr; CltY. ' But those who wprp nrpspnt. r : ' were agreeably entertained by a timely and appropriate speech from Rev. fL A. Yates, the popular pastor of Front Street Meth odist Church. He pleaded most eloquent ly the cause of the poor and destitute, and, and sought to encourage the members of the Society in their "labor of Ixive." By request, Mr. Yates then read Mrs. Ken nedy's annual report, as follows : WiLMixoTojr, N. C. Xov. 14th, 1878. Ladies The close of another vear in the operations of our Society, (its 33d an niversary), calls us together once more, to retrospect our doings hitherto, and to gird ourselves afresh for the task assigned us by our Heavenly Father whose hand we acknowledge in the measure of success which has thus far "crowned our efforts, to relieve suffering humanity. And yet we must own that we have come very far short of fulfilling the requirements of duty1 and of flecessitv in this behalf.

Some months since Mrs. Kennedy invited Got. Vance to de liver a lecture in this city for the Society. The Governor has expressed his' willing ness to do all ia bis power for the ladies add for the poor of Wilmington. Mrs. Cicero W. Harris -was requested to corres pond with Governor "Tance at once, and ask him to appoint as early an evening as he conveniently could, for the promised lecture. The ladies' also express their preference for the lecture on the Scene ry of Western North Carolina,owt of the most elegant productions of the distin guished lecturer's pen.

According to announcement in Tester- I day morning's Srx, this company, together with the veterans and honorary members, held a meeting at their armory, last night. There-was a Very full attendance, and the interest manifested was gratifying to every member of the Company.- After the usual organization preliminaries, addresses were heard from several present, touching ' upon the future prosperity of tho organization.

The Wilmington Light Infantry has been in organization since 1853. There is not a more gallant company in the State, and we know that our people, cherishing the mem y bry o tits heroic deed3 in the bloody strug gle of '61-'65 will '' never permit the name of this grand .old company to die out as Jong as; time lasts ' we can and in striving to enlist the aid of those around us. Let us'impress upon our young friends the duty and the true enjoy ment of being helpers to the helpless, showing them that in denying themselves some trifling hinjr systematically they can all, without much inconvenience, contribute the little amount, of $1 annually for this cause. Can we ask our Father in heaven or His blessing while unwilling to bestow on His more needy ones a little of what He gives us.? May Gad give us all grace to do our frhjbhi duty ! The Treasurer's statement will show what amounts have be?n received in sub scriptions and otherwise. I feel constrain ed here to mention the generous gilts re ceived last year- from many . of our mer chants. Our friends had. failed and the public was appealed to. Donations of various articles of food were given, amount ing to perhaps: near 100. These were placed in the hands of a grocer, to-whom we owe thanks for his kindness in distribut ing. This supply sufficed for the summer, but was exhausted by October, with a very small exception, and now we are furnish ing ou eredit those who ntust be fed. 1 would be glad to give the number and names of such As have been relieved by the Society during the past year, but this can only be done t hrough the visitors, who failed to preserve them. And .now, in retrospec tion, we must admit our failure in one great object we have had in view : the hope of elevating by timely aid the aims of those who come to us, encouraging the feeling of self-reliance, and the desire to live by. their own labor, till driven by ne cessity to rely on others, does not seem to be realized. .Still we must do our duty, and leave the results with God. May He give His spirit for a guide to us ami to them. C. G. Kexnedv, Pres't. After the reading of the report Mrs. Alfred Martin, in behalf of the Society, most, gracefully thanked Mr. Yates for the interest he had taken in the Society and for the pleasure derived from the speech he had just made. In about two sentences Mrs. Martin said more and expressed it more beautifully than nine-tenths of the gentlemen would have doue. ner little speech, if she will pardon us, was a model of terseness, courtesy, and pure, chaste English. Mrs. Kennedy called the meeting to or der and the members proceeded to eleet officers for the ensuing year. The follow ing ladies were unanimously elected : Mrs. C. G. Kennedy, president. Mrsl J. T. Munds, vice president. ! Mrs. N G.-Paniel, secretary. Miss Julia Stevenson, treasurer. Mrs.-Kcnnedy then requested the secret tary to read the following : "There is one matter I wish to bring be fore the Society, not exactly called for by the annual report. It has long been known to our; members that we have in view the enlargement of onr operations or perhaps I might say a modification or change in the plans pursued. It is also known that a small fund quite distinct from our current funds, has been at interest for the purchase of a location for some institution -I of: permanent oenent to our poor, len shares of stock in the W. & W. R. B. were , given us, about the year 1852, as a nucleus for thw. CittSnnstanees hindered the furtherance of this and the annual dividend for -10 or. 12 years was lost hi a bank a V the close of 4 the war. We have po$r,O0B ifrom this ' source, and af loca tion offered, yesterday, seems desirable for a beginuing: The terms are $1,000, at once, and a reasonable time allowed for the remainder. - A gentleman present of fered ta Jwstow $50, if-we : make the pur chase. A very nice dwelling , is on the lot, and -the location is within easy reach of the street car track. No furniture of any kind belongs to us, and we most borrow or beg until able to purchase. I do not wish to. act alone in this. If the Society will appoint a committee of discreet Udies to act with its officers, we can obtain aid from a lawyer and several other gentlemen in terested, " and have the matter properly attended to. C. G. Kesxkdt." .This matter was earnestly discussed, and BroceelIiiK of the l'oniiuiiou er Meeting. The Uoard of County Commissioners met yesterday evening at 2 o'clock in ihe Court House. Present : J. G. Wagner, Chairman ; and Commissioners Saunders, Smith, Worth and Holmes. The minutes of the last meeting were read and. approved, after which the un finished business of the previous session was taken up. Commissioner .Smith reported that the pump r the jail had been furnished. .Committee on the tnrnpike road matter ! werenot prepared to report. Committee on heating the insane depart : ment of the Poor House were not prepared , to report. !. Committee on furnishing noodforthe i jail reported. !

J F. E. Hasha&an applied for the remis- i-sion of the personal property tax of S. G. j Hashagan, lie being a non-resident: The ' application was granted. i On application of Wm, Winters, it was j ordered! hat $4 24 be remitted of the tax i charges against him in Harnett township. Col. Smith offered a resolution' to exact a State tax of 8100-out of Howe's London J ircus, which resolution was lost. . It was ordered that $73 be collected, for county tax on said circus. The following was adopted by the Board and ordered spread on the minutes : The Board of Count v Commissioners, in response to a statement published under date of October 12th, 1878, by the grand juryof the Criminal Court of New Han over, iir reference to the public buildings of the county, would say to the tax-payers that, according to the means at our com mand, we have provided for the comfort and security of the inmates of the various institutions under our control, and have exercised a proper vigilance over the con tractors for managing fhe Poor House and Work House and Jail. The Poor House is managed by Mr. John F. Garrell by contract, and according to our judgment and observation' is in the main well managed. The provisions furnished are of good quality and amply supplied to the inmates; even the molasses complained of was sweet and of fair quality ; the Poor House is kept clean, and sufficient clothing and bedding furnished in every room. Every room has a fire place and good fires are kept Champion press let off steam for. t be first time since it was put in operation, in order to clean oot the machinery, etc., prepara tory for & quick "and efficient execution of the big run of work expected of it during the balance of the season. The managers of this compress are also building an ad ditional roof and adding new conveniences, and Jtiesides this, are making thtir capa cious building very attractive by the libe ral use of the paint brush. The steam and t hydraulic press, of the Wilmington Compress Company, which gave out a day or two ago, is being re paired as rapidly as possible. It is an en tirely new press, and a break down could but Lave been expected of it. The com pany do not anticipate any very great delay with it, and in the meantime, are running their steam press to its full capaci ty. But notwithstanding all the delays, the compresses are doing their full duty and have more cotton pressed than the vessels at their docks can stowaway for a time. , SHIPPING. Port Almanac", Xov.

We were disturbed yesterday morning by a rumpus which sounded a3 if a lot of men were trying to get a big piano up our j office step:. It wasn't exactly a piano in shape, but pretty near one in size, and four negro men were working at it with crowbars, trying to get it up the steps. It was a sweet potato sent to ,us by freight from our old friend, Matt H. Lee. of Golds boro. We have telegraphed to Matt to know its pedigree. It was planted by him two vears ago and had been in the ground up to last Wednesday. It weighs fourteen pounds to the notch. Now, brethren of the State press, - take in your sails" and stop trotting out your little seven pound 'taters. We've got the dead wood o:: this potato business at last, and unless some one can get up something to beat our four teen pounder we hope to see a cessation of this indiscriminate blowing on the part of the press. Abraham Wallace, ' and jiot Abraham Betts,'was the hero of the Ninth street scrimmage night before -last, as reported in The .Sun yesterday. He hasn't turned up vet. burning tor the comfort of the inmates. The insane department is not a proper building for the purpose, but the cells are of good size, and it is our purpose to have them properly heated as early as possible . Under the circumstances of the case we think the insane patients are as well pro vided for for as possible under the present system of management, a change of which we have had under advisement, but our term of office is too short to mature any new plan. We unanimously agree that in justice has been done Mr." -Garrell in the: publication alluded to. In regard to the Work House, the build ings appear to be sufficiently secure to keep the prisoners sent there properly con fined at night, but not so secure a building as our jail, from which prisoners sometimes escape. The contractor, Duncan Holmes, feeds and clothes the . prisouers free of ex pense to the county. His only compensa tion is the privilege of tilling the land ad joining the Work House with the labor of said prisoners. The land is not very fer tile, and the profit arising from its tillage not likely to compensate the contractor, consequently the Board has never restrict ed him to working the convicts solely on the county land. Rumors we have heard of escapes of prisoners, but no case has yet been brought officially before us. When a case is brought we will investigate it, and if gross negligence is shown on the part of Duncan Holmes we will deal with him pro perly ; as the case now stands we have no just cause of complaint. Ou motion the Board ttoen adjourned until to-dav at 2i o'clock. .Horning Callers at the City Hall. Alice Kelly was fiery and loquacious, as she was ushered before his Honor, yester day morning. Alice is a leading belle of Paddy's Hollow, and the night previous had got good drunk and begun to kick up a disturbance. She was arrested, and by the time she became sober, she- was before the Mayor. During . the trial, Alice "sassed" his Honor and everybody else in the room,and while she was doing this, the Mayor slapped down a tea dollar fine on bcr, with the alternative of fifteen days in the station house. The alternative was accepted. .' The next and last case for investigation, was one known by the City Hall officials as "a plain drunk." The offeuder was dis charged from custody, after a hearing.
