LeDuc, the Receiver of the People's National Bank, informs us that he is pre paring to declare a final dividend, notice of which will be given in due time. It has .been suggested to as, an 4 we think it a good idea, that the city should appoint a Market Inspector. The duties of such officer to be to inspect all perish able matter offered in this city for sale. The wood carts around the market get so thick at times that it is a hard matter for vehicles to pass around. They should be bunched together, or, bo compelled to display their wares in the . back yards. Rev.

The principals in the Campbellton fight were before Mayor Cook yesterday even ing and the evidence being clear as to three, they were fined respectively, $15 and costs, $10 and costs and $15 and costs. These three are brick masons,the Campbell tomans proving just cause. . MasterThollie Huske was given a hand some little pony by his father, Mr. A. S. Huske, Monday. Tuesday morning early he started for a ride when, the pony, a very spirited. animal, became frightened and ran away throwing its youthful rider, one of whose feet caught in the stirrup. The little fellow was dragged for several yards, when fortunately a passer-by ran out and stopped the mad career of boy and horse. Luckily Thollie was not seriously hurt. ' - . J Funeral of HOLru, Orerbj. The funeral of Mrs. Overby took place from- the Hay Street Methodist Church this morning, and was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friend?. False Alarm. About 2:30 this morning the usual hub bob announced a fire. The Fire Company was soon on its wav to Redbone, the di- rection indicated by the noise, and reach ed there only to find that the alarm was caused by a fire built by tramps. Hotel. Arrival. The following were registered at the LaFayette yesterday evening and this morning: F. B. Morac, Charleston; M. H. Fowlkes, Va.; W. S. Bautiog, N. C; H. J. Jacker manj Mass.; E.

Lumber milling as conducted by Messrs. C. L. Rankin & Bro., is a fine business, and better still, a paying one. Their mill in this city is running extra time, and they will soon begin running at night as well. Every month they, ship ten carloads of dressed pine, some of which goes as far as Boston. They , have two other large mills in South Carolina, and tho three com bined ship nearly fifty car loads a month. Good Word for the Daily. Our good friend Editor McDiarmid, of the Robesonian, says the following kind words of our new venture: We learn from some of our exchanges that Maj. Hale, of the Fayetteville Obser ver, is now publishing a dailyv We rejoice in the prosperity of on r neighbor, and all the more because it is so richly deserved; For several years the Observer has been the best edited weekly in North Carolina. We regret to infer that our excellent neighbor has not received the Daily. He will hereafter. In the confusion of launch ing the new paper, a good many things happened that we must ask pardon for. - A Runaway Teani. A very amusing" and quite dramatic in cident occurred on Gillespie street yester day afternoon. Messrs. Bevil & Vanstory bad two mules hitched to a strong wagon with three negroes at the reins, for the pur pose of hteaking them in. When this team crossed the railroad in front of the Court House, they became frightened and dashed into a post about five feet high in front of Mrs. McDonald's.' The tougue ran up the post and caught,, suspending the mules in the air. All the mules could do was to kick, so it is to be inferred that they were satisfied. After much manoeuver ing they were dislodged and sent on their way rejoicing. , We are informed by several residents of lower Fayetteville, that while on their way to church Sunday. night, they nearly broke their necks falling over goods boxes placed on the side walks in front of McMillan Bros, store, by malicious boys. This is a common practice, and should be stopped if possible." - Tlie Boaeboro Bobbery Trial. All the evidence in the express, robber trial at Roseboro is in and the arguments have begun. There was a great sensation in Clinton yesterday morning over the at tempt to assassinate Grier, the confessed thief,. the night before. About 3 . o'clock yesterday morning some one attempted to enter the room of the hotel in which Grier was sleeping and but for the prompt ac tion of the deputy would no doubt have carried out his designs. Grier was badly frightened, urging the depdty to discharge his pistol out the window-r The assassi nation if such was intended was carefully planned, as the street lamp3 (sounds fun ny to Fayetteville people, doesn't it f ) were turned low. Col. Sutton on Monday evening made the opening argument for the defense. The correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger styles it incisive, able and in genious. The same correspondent says: Mr. Cooper replied effectively jto a por tion of Col. Sutton's speech and analyzed the testimony.and evidence in a masterly manner George E. Butler, Esq., a tal ented young. lawyer, who is a brother of United Suites Senator Marion Butler, fol lowed Mr. Cooper with a clear cut argu ment in behalf of the defendants. He spoke for an hour and ten minutes. At 1 o'clock the court took a recess till 2 o'clock p. m. V'"V" ''- -v J At 2 o?clock the court met, and ''. Mr. Fowler spoke for the State. He made a powerful speech, and handled the. evidence with telling effect; Mr. T. Ml Leev a young attorney of marked ability, made an ar gument that did him much credit and was a strong presentation of the cause of the defendants; Henry E. Faison, Esq., one of the ablest members of the Clinton bar, followed with a forcible speech for the de fense. " ; .' -' " -; ' People and their IXove&xe&tfc. ' r Mr. John Clark, of Manchester; is in the city. ' ' Rev. David Fairley, of Manchester, is a welcome visitor in town to day. Mr. E. L. Clark left this morning on a business trip to Greensboro.

A remarkably ac tive man for his years, surely. FOR THE MOIYUMCWT. j Delightful Entertainment.
