A COrtesnondenr m Journal has interogated that paper as to what progress, if any, has beeu made toward actual work on the inland water-way, aj»d the question brings out tbe fact that something is being done. The Journal calls attention to advertise ment* in its cotamnv rn the nature of summons "to appear and take notiae' 1 that action had been com menced for its condemnation of certain lands, and the cases would be heard in the United States Cir cuit court at New Bern, Monday, August 3rd. The Journal explains .that to those acquainted with these lands, uew in progsetw of condem nation, it will be known that they lie in the vicinity of Adams creek, along the proposed tone of route «i the inland water-way, and that this legal process is accessary be fore work may be commenced upon this water route. Thoae who ought to kndw siv, that feith con demnation of land, and its pur chase by the government, which is expected to „He consumated as quickly as the legal process maybe advanced, the work upon the is land water-way will be commenced. This ought to be sufficient assur ance that the inland water-way i« not a project on papier, but that in the course of time, it is to be an accomplished fact. It has been really started, and that is the im portant thing. The government is laying the foundation. That be ing done, the completion of the project i& assured. This inland water-way, Journal says, "is not merely a canal or water route far war vessels in the time of trouble with foreign nations, but means a safety route for vessels engaged in the carrying trade, whereby they may avoid the dangers of the ocean storms, particularly Hatteras."

The J -fats'' of the town crossed bats wath the leans''. Business was suspended a«d everybody was out Ao daeer according to his avoirdu pois. The "leans" seemed to be qiore popular, though the "fats" brought forth rioting cheers from • large number whenever they made a brilliant or awkward play v Many of the spectators must have been as sore from laughter as the player# were catching the hard ball or sprinting around the diamond. Some idea may be drawn as to the rapiditv with wlrcti both teams improved when the s:o:es are known at the end of the first inn ing atul at the end of the game.

On Tuesday night another barn dance was given at Staton and Daniel's Mill, which is some five »niies irom wutianiston, to tbe Misses Davis, I 4 amb and Morton, who are visiting Miss Annie Lamb and to the Misses Mary Shelburn aud lithel Skinner, of Greenville, who are visiting Mrs. J. W. Watts. The couplts arrived at the mill abont eight-thirty, after having a delightful drive over the comfort aide roads, where they were receiv ed by Mr. Daniel and family. The second floor of tjie mill house was used for the daucing place, Here the musicians were placed around the cotton preis, which stood in the center of the room and the couples danced around them. The good floor and delightful music coupled With the romantic air of the place served to make the occasion a most eu joy able one. Lunch was served in the grove by the young ladies about eleven o'clock. Here everyone, even the chaperoues and the old men like John Hassell, Harry Biggs and James Rhodes gave themselves up to the fullest enjoyment. The first mentioned, who was standing over near an old log cart was loud ly entreated bvthe whole company to give them a speech, but fearing that a political speech would not be in keeping with the occasion, he declined. The lucch over the young- peo ple returned to the old mill, where they danced a few moments longer, after which they came home.

Stainback Held Two Services Each. Much Good Expected f these Methodist last Sunday were given over to Dr. D. B. Zollicoffer, president of Warreuton District Layman's Movement, and Rev. P. N. Stainback, a local preacher ot Weldon. The talk of Dr. Zollicoffer Sun day morning, giving a brief history lof the origin of the Laymen's Movement, was most interesting. The doctor is a good speaker, a consecrated Christian gentleman, and is thoroughly in earnest in his endeavors to arouse tlie layman of | the Methodist church to perform the duties required of them, and that they obligated themselves to perform when they joined tils' church. During his talk -the dxrtor gave some statistics as to Um MM** i,j xjuu£ men in , North aud South Carolina that afe not mem bers of any church; 600,000. He said I that statistics showed that there was only about 20 per cent, of tlie Sunday School children in the United States were members of the church. He made a most urgeut appeal to all laymen, whether members of the Methodist church or any other church to get busy and save these young men and children. At tlie. close o£ hi* t-aik he extended an invitation to all laymen that were interested and would re-consecrate themselves to the work, to come forward and: kneel at the altar and join in prayer. A number of the rueinbe S o} the church went forward and joined in prayer with Mr. Stainback, The service at night was con ducted by Rev. Mr. Stainback. He preached a powerful sermon., one that is sure to porduce gootf results, especially for the Layman's Movement. The services Monday afternoon and night, while not as well tended as the services Sunday, were full of feeling and proved that these consecrated men had not labored in vain. Rev. Mr. Stainback has a great hold upon the people ot Weldon. He is a thoroughly consecrated man, and the people of his to w have the utmost confidence in him, and bold him in high esteem. —ln addition to our regular ad vertisers you will find in this issue the advertisements of the firms of J. 1,.
