The Wilmington Star of this morn ing, commenting on the "Farmers Dinner" to be held in Flea Hill on the 21st inst., says : The Populists of Cumberland county are arranging for a big "Farmers Din ner," which is construed to mean one of their "monster indignation meet ings," in Flea Hill township on Fri day, September 21st. The Harnett Populists are arranging for another at Dunn, N. C, on the following Sat urday. Butler is advertised to speak at both places. A tlrniptrd Barglary. Last night shortly after ten o'clock, an attempt was made to enter the res idence of Mr. L. C. Wooten on Green street, and, on account of the early hour, it caused great excitement in the neighborhood." Mr. Wooten had just retired when he heard a noise at the dining-room window, but, at first, paid little atten tion to it. The noise was repeated several times, however, and Mr. Woot en went to investigate. He found that one of the blinds had been forced open, but the would-be burglars had disappeared. This robbery business is one of the greatest mysteries our astute police lorce has ever had to solve. The oper ators are certainly not professionals, and their methods display all the ear marks of small boys or an Insane per son. Only Saturday night some one entered the kitchens of Mrs. Mansfield and Miss Janie Kyle, and swept them clean of everything portable. Surely no sane person, however, ill disposed, would run the great risk these persons are running in carrying out their promiscuous and, in most cases, silly schemes. Eed Springs Item.
