Holland & Guion have opened a law office on. South Front street in the building formerly occupied by Maj. Hughes which has been rebuilt. These young gentlemen, while learning the rudiments of law under the well known firm of Simmons & Manly, of this city, had opportunities of becoming familiar with the pratice, which enables them to at once manage cases with as much ease and prudence as many older law yers, i: Dr. JT. Henry Smith. v' ' . ., : ' We learn from the" Patriot that " the r uling elders of the Greensboro, Presby terian church have recommended to the congregation a compliance with the request of Orange Plesbytery for. Rev. Dr. Smith's services as an evangelist in the eastern part of the State, as soon' as hishealth, will permit. . We had the pleasure of hearing this distinguished Divine on two occadfcns during the war, while he was visiting the army of North ern Virginia and remember well . the impression his eloquent and logical ser mons made on the men of Cooke's bri gade, f -We: think he is eminently fitted for. the work of an evangelist, and hope to have the pleasure of hearing him in this city.- ' ,,! No JttoreTaxe. , .v. There are some of our good citizens who are warm friends of education and would doubtless be glad to see our Gra ded School prosper, but are at the same time opposed to sustaining it by taxa tion, because, say they, we already have as much tax to pay as we can possibly bear., There are a few of our citizens who hold to this vieW, whose opinions are entitled to consideration; but we think they should remember that every child is entitled to J a: fair education; that it is the duty of every man to con tribute of hjs means', if he has any, to aid in relieving his fellow beings of the bonds of ignorance and degradation. It is a tax upon the community to do this, no matter in what manner the funds are raised for the purpose, and the on ly question.is,"' ftou; shall it k be done. Taxation is unquestionably the fairest and tho just ? way. of supporting any institution for the public . good. It is true there are occasionally instances where men own property and have no children of their own to be benefitted by a school ; s0 there are : many good men who never have v any " business in the courts but still it i3 necessary to have courts and they have to be kept up at the expense of the public. We contend, and defy any one,to ; successfully qon- tradict it; that public schools are as much a necessity as courts." This be ing the case it is just and right that the Graded Schooljin this city , where a large number of poor children are being edu cated, should be supported by taxation. Athletic Club Meeting: ' . The annual meeting of "The New- bern 'Athletio and Social Club" was held at the Court House, Wednesday, May 2, 1883, at 8 o'clock, p.m., the President, E. B. Robertsi in the chair. There being a quorum of the stock holders present, the meeting was opened for t.he transaction of business. , The report of the Secretary, was read, and, on motion, accepted". ' , - The Treasurer's report was then read, showing the net amount of cash ou hand to be 1,227.60, and, on motion, was accepted and ordered to be filed. On motion," the Secretary read the list of stockholders and delinquents, and was instructed to wait on those who had made a fractional payment, and request them to settle in full, or make over to the Club their interest in what was al ready paid. -j' 'f7':,?.;'-:-ii' .ri On motion, that a ballot be taken for1 the election of officers, Messrs. Alex. Miller, C. H. Blank and JT. Peele were appointed a oommittee to verify proxies, and Messrs. Geo, N.' Ives and W. R. Guion were appointed tellers.' E. B. Roberts was elected President, Secretary casting ballot. "R. H. Hilton was elected in like mannei.) l: ? ( On motion, the six old Directors were elected by the Secretary's casting the ballot.. . . "")"-' S.y: A ballot , being taken, to. .fill rthoj re maining vacancy in the Boardf resulted in Mr. J. T, Peele's receiving amajority of the votes,' and was . accordingly ; de clared elected.- . : ' On motion, a committee composed of Messrs. E. B. Roberts, R. II. Hilton and' J. T. Peele,,was instructed to 'draft suitable resolutions of respect for the late James W. . Harper, and expressive of their regret for the loss sustained by the Club through his death. , . On motion, the Secretary ! was i in structed to extend, through, Mr. , Mat. Manly, the than, s of the organization to the 'Tatiuaoe Troupe" for.the latter 's successful efforts in increasing '. the finances of the Club; . ' , ', .;.;,;.;... The meeting then adjourned. , ' R. O. E. Louok,' Secretary. Track; Farming:. - A ,;-':';: --."'i ; Capt. F. M. Wootenhas just returned from New Berne, where he has been on a tour of Inspection of the fine truck farms in that vicinity. He gives a glowing description of them, and es pecially of that belonging to our old friend of former years,, Mr. Jos, . L. Rhem,' said to be the most extensive in the world. ;. Some idea can be formed of its immensity when we state as we are informed by Capt. Wooten that he has about five hundred acres under cultiva tion, of which two hundred are in Irish potatoes, and that it took five hundred barrels of the seed potato for planting purposes. He already has one hundred and eighty thousand cabbages growing and has ten acres to set out. It is esti mated thai it will take $10,000 to pay for 'the pea picking on the farms in question; alone, and we hear that Mr. Rhem had some six hundred persons employed in picking" from his own farm last year. He also has a farm in Florida. ; ; , ' , , Truck farming has evidently been re duced to a science in old Craven, and it no doubt pays, or it would not be en gaged in so extensively and by so many. Operations in the same line of business are being somewhat enlarged in our immediate section, and we hope to see increased attention paid to truck farm ing at an early day. Capt. Wooten says the soil here is apparently as well! adapted to the business as that around New Berne. Wilmington Star. , Graded School Exhibition. : As has been announced from time to time in the Journal, the exhibition of the Graded School to be given this evening is for the benefit of the Gra ded School Library. The proceeds will be immediately invested in books to be used by j;he pupils of the school as sup plementary' reading. The school has gone to considerable expense in getting up this entertainment and will have to pay, for the use of the Theatre, thus making - it necessary that a small ad mission fee of 25 ots. shall be charged. It is customary to charge at these exhi bitions wherever they are given and to use the proceeds for the benefit of the children. These children who are not in this exhibition will be in one to be given later in the session. All the pu pils of the school will be admitted free of charge and the gallery will be re served for them.' The exercises will begin at 8 o'clock sharp and something like the following programme will be carried out: 1. Salutatory." . . .i r ... 2. May Scene. . 1 Music. ' 1 These Little Hands.

' The water in the slough below Kinston is in fine condition forapt. Webb and the Snow Hill. Deputy Internal Revenue Collector, R. C. Kehoe, of New Berne, was in town last Wednesday; issuing United States license to dealers in liquor and tobacco. . The invitation to he ven, given at the Democratic town meeting last Monday night by the young medical gentile to the "gentleman from Jerusalem," if not polite or parliamentary, had a world of meaning in it. - " Adolphus Mitchell, Esq., of this place, has given out a contract to Thos. J. Presson, architect and builder, : for the erection of a $3660 residence on Wash ington avenue near the railroad crossing and on the land purchased by him of J. F. Parrott, near Kinston. , . 77 : The young democracy; growing res tive, ambitious and aspiring. If not checked, they threaten to take all the fat offices and turn the-old bell-wethers out to grass. ' An' extraordinary occa' siohhas arisen.. The legislature must be immediately convened and a law en acted, limiting the right to vote only to persons who have attained fifty years and upwards.This ia a matter more important to thei democracy than the sale of the Western road to Monsieur Best. . 7,7 7777' --V;-:-;7; ' A disgruntled pharisee,' lounging on a goods box last Tuesday morning, gave his opinion, of the nominee for Mayor. He would, himself have voted for TJzzell, but he could not conscientiously cast a ballot for a man not identified with' reform and honest government, Just then a constable arrested him for stealing, the night before, a clothes line, a night shirt and a pork ham. ' . Mr. George R. Tulf and ' Mr,' Brown, while crossing the Neuse at the block ade just below the railroad bridge last Wednesday, were capsized in the mid die of the river by the wind which was blowing hard. Mr. Brown managed to get out of the river, but Mr;J Tull clung to a jetty post about the middle of the river for about an hour when the steam er Kinston, Capt. Dixon, came along and took him out of the water. He was very cold and nearly exhausted when relieved and would have been drowned, but for the timely appearance of the steamer The Captain put him on land and gave them wood, and matches to make a fire. . Mr. Brown was powerless to assist Mr. Tull out of the river, but was undressed, preparing to do what he could when the steamer arrived. Col. Moses, the people's candidate for the Democratic nomination at the "Jew or Gentile love feast"(?) last Monday night, like a girl of "sweet sixteen," kept in his teens during the ballotting, receiving eighteen votes. This, how ever, is no evidence of any unpopulari ty, but only of his unwillingness to sacrifice the reputation of youth even to be made Mayor of Kinston. Though, by jstratagem and treason, defeated on that occasion, the people will yet rise in their majesty and honor him with high official position, as they did Gen. Jack son, the great military hero, whom the Colonel, in so many respects, resembles. An effort will be made to induce him to become the Liberal candidate for Mayor and, if he consents, the infant "Diaper" ticket now in the field will have an op portunity, after the election, to hangup for a drying. It is not certain, how ever, he can be pursuaded to- this course, since Grainger and Dortch have engaged to make him Mayor of Golds boro, if he will remove to their city. And then, he may say to Kinston, when leaving, as Jugurtha said to ungrateful Rome: "Ah venal city and destined soon to fall, if it can but find a pur chaser." , ' "Dat Degraded School." "Say, Sam, what made yer groan an' take on so las' night in your sleep?" asked old Hal of his twelve- year-old boy when he got up this morning. "Well, pap," he replied, "I persoom I wag . sufferin' , wid a nocturnal equnine of do female perswashun dat's all." The pa ternal relative got np and went into de kitchen, ' muttering as he went, "It's 'stonishin' how dat chile is lurnin' at dat degraded schule; it woan be long fore he gradicates and gets a nonder ploom." , COMMERCIAL. .
