The question of . securing a superintendent to fill Prof. ' - Johnson's place was referred to the executive committee who will report at ' the next meeting of the Board.: The . question of building was refered to a special committee. Notwithstanding the fact that Rev. F. - - W. Eason had told them his decision ' wag final, and asked their acceptance of his resignation offered one month ' ago, the members of Middle St. Baptist Church are so loth to give him up that on Thursday night last they extended a new call to him, and asked him to be - .' . come again their pastor. , The Reverend v - gentleman thanked the church and was ' deeply grateful for this renewed mark of confidence and affection, but only re peated what he had said before, Viz., that .the climate of this section not agreeing with Mrs. Eason, and bier con dition making a 'change advisable, to his great regret he could not accept the call.

' . , , From all reports the outlook for a large crOp of cotton this year is very en couraging so far. 'Our farmers should readily understand that this means a low price for cotton next fall, and they should make their calculations accord ingly. There are many cuts and turns a farmer can make to prevent going in debt, and there are many things that can be done in advance in order to house the crop with as little expense 'ks possible. Other work can be attended to before the cotton begins to open so that when it , fairly begins every hand , can begin , to grapple it. We begin now to urge upon our cot ton growers to use every effort and all care to get their cotton in market , in good order. We have seen so many instances of loss by bringing cotton to market in bad condition that we are constrained to' Offer' this piece of advice hoping that it may be the means of saving a few dollars to some man who has well earned it. ' ' I ' Brick Building. Mr. L. H. Cutler has contracted, for brick to put up a brick store on Middle street this summer and fall. It is not to be built upon a vacant lot but an old wooden frame is to be taken out and brick and mortar. 'to go in the place of it. " This is a good sign. It is a difficult matter to .'get . owners of property to build of brick when fire has made their lots vacant, but when we see them be gin to tear down old wooden frames and put brick in their places it is a healthy sign of prosperity.' We hope to see other of our business men catch the brick fever and take out more of the old eye sores; Neat, handsome buildings is the index to a city's pride, and in this respect we fear New ; Berne has been licking or there would have been a solid row of brick buildings from the corner of Pollock and Middle to the foot of the wharf at the market before this time. In the matter of city pride we fear New Berne will let her sister towns of Kinston and Goidsboro outstrip her. New Berne and- Beaufort Canal and Its -Tributary Navigation. Reports from the work progressing on the old Clubfoot and Harlowe Creek Canal, now known as the New Berne and Beaufort Canal under a reorganiza tion effected by the aid and under the auspices of the Albemarle and Chesa peake , Canal Company, : of- which Marshall Parks, of Norfolk is President, give the assurance. that this short water route between New Berne and Beaufort will be open to the navigation of light draft steamers and vessels in time for the fall and winter business of 1883-'84. By this route it is thirty-six or seven miles from New. Berne to Beaufort Harbor, almost the same distance as by the railroad,' and it is a route that is destined to work ' important results in the transportation, and consequent de velopment of the material interests of portions of Craven, Carteret and Ons low counties, and generally upon this portion of Eastern Carolina, r ) . This subject is one of especial interest to the trade ' and industries of New Berne, for,' if properly availed of, the New "Berne and Beaufort Canal will bring to our doors large volumes of business that has not hitherto sought this port, and give us the handling of the, rich products 1 of sections which heretofore found a market at Wilming ton. ' ' Onslow, .which is one of the large and productive counties of the State, through the want of steam transportation facili ties to Morehead City has been made almost entirely tributary to Wilming ton, the means of communication being small sailing vessels which, passing out at Bogue and New River inlets, have a much- shorter and better run to Wil mington than by, the round about way of Core Sound and New River to New Berne, while the Railroad seems not to have been able, or to . have made no proper effort to divert the trade of OnB- low to its terminus at Morehead, bring ing it thence to the New Berne market With the New Berne and Beaufort Canal open, to lighter-draft water-craft it is entirely feasible to bring the trade of Onslow to New Berne, by the estab lishment of a line of light-draft steam boats to navigate Bogue Sound,: White Oak and New Rivers. A glance at the map shows that a steamboat plying on White Oak River would necessarily draw the freight of a portion of Car teret, Onslow and the lower end of Jones ; while New River, navigable to a point some miles above the centre of the county, and running midway through "it, would draw the freights of the balance, of Onslow territory, and also tap Duplin and Pender oounties, The same system of steam navigation would extend into Core Sound, thus skirting Carteret from White Oak River to Cedar Island and Portsmouth, a dis tance of more than seventy-five miles; section of country of great natural productiveness of soil, and abounding in game, Ash and oysters. ' From all this territory, its production, and population, New Berne is, as a market, practically cut off, and would remain so but for the opening of the Canal. ! And even with the facilities it will offer, the products of Onslow in large part will continue to seek the market of Wilmington, unless steam boat connection is made direct with New Berne, White Oak and New Rivers. The people of Onslow,! and in lower Craven and Carteret along and contigu ous to the route of the Canal are anxious for steamboat communication, and, as as we are advised, are willing to sub scribe to the stock of such enterprise. We have been shown a letter from President ParkB, of the Albemarle and Chesapeake, and New Berne and Beau fort Canals, in which he pledgas 'thSln terests which he represents to make liberal subscriptions to the capital stock of such company. . The question which presents itself to the business men of New Berne, in this connection, is, are they ready to respond to the Canal' Company and the people of Onslow,' Carteret, &c., with a liberal support to this enterprise ? - An oppor tunity will be given them, we learn, in ahort time, by open subscription-lists to the undertaking,' and a canvass of the matter made in Carteret and Onslow. Hceting of the Trustees of New Berne Academy. . ; : . At a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of New Berne Academy, held Friday, July 6, 1883, the following res olutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Prof. D. B. Johnson hav ing; resigned as Principal of the New Berne Graded School, the Board of Trustees do adopt the following resolu tions: , . . 1. That Prof. Johnson, by his adapta bility to his profession, his fine execu tive talent, his urbanity of deportment and his great success which was the product of a prudent exercise of these distinguishing qualities, strongly com mended himsell to tbe unanimous sup port of the Board and the entire com munity. - --y -v-' .. .-": 2. That the Board parts with Prof. Johnson with profound regret, and ex tends to him its heartfelt wish for his success and happiness in bis new field of labor.' . - - .;.!. 3. That the Secretary cause these res olutions to be published in the city papers, and transmit a copy to Pror, Johnson. C(ias. C. Clark, J W. M. Watson, ) H. R. Bryan,) Com. Will. Hollister. j Tuckahoe Items. Mr. D. T. Fordham 'left for Duplin last Saturday to see his belle. Mr, C. C, Fordham has some as fine corn as there U4n Jones county. ; , Mr. A. T. Uzzell has some as nice cot ton as there is in Tuckahoe! Township We are having some fine weather to kill grass, now. Crops are looking very well. 'c":c:' r"-': It is reported that Isaac Koonce has ordered a lot of gun worms to twist the grass out of his cotton. ; Mr. David Fordham has about com pleted his crop, and he says he wants to complete his courtship, which he began in Duplin when he began his farm. Pamlico Items. . From tbe Enterprise. ' Mr. Charles Brinson captured an alligator six feet in length last week from Baird'a Creek. He used a big drum hook and baited with a cat's carcass. '!o...;:-- ':- Miss Annie Sullivan has been removed to Mr. J. T. Lincoln's, where she is gradually recovering, under the treat mentof Dr. Attmore, from the paralysis, She has recovered her eyesight and is now able , to sit up and has the use of her hands. We trust she may soon fully recover. , i ' . : The picnic at Baird'a Creek on the 4th proved to be a grand success. About 500 people were present and all enjoyed themselves hugely. . The Bayboro brass band-were present and- outdid them' selves in. dispensing music on the occa sion. "Long Tom" and the "Stingy Man of Stonewall " both came home sick, which Is evidence in itself . that there was no lack of eatables. 1 We will give a fuller account of it next week. We are sorry it was so we could not be there. i : : f jv. . v On Monday last a crowd in front of Mr. S. H. Fowler's store in Bayboro was thrown in commotion by the sud den appearance in their midst of a full grown rattlesnake. War was at once declared upon the ' intruder and his snakeship dispatched, i Upon investiga tion it was found that they had killed a net of a certain bachelor clerk of mod erate years, who was about to raise war on the warring party. Mr. C. says he has raised a neat of those docile pets underneath the store and he warns all persons from disturbing thera in the free exercise of their rights of liberty or ror-on. His snakeship was about xi font long and had two rattles and a button. ..,'," , f Letter from Baleigh. . ... .; ; , . ; ) ' . ? Raleigh, July 5th. The "glorious" fourth passed off very quietly here, Mayor , Dodd having issued a proclamation forbidding any horns to be blown at all or any crackers fired in the street during the day, so the small boy " was in despair and the grown folks spared much uneasi ness; but in revenge a conspiracy was hatched up to get up a secret gun pow der plot, and go on the night of the 6th, after twelve o'clock,' and serenade the Mayor with tin herns and pop crackers. The proclamation read " On the 4th " and of course does not apply to the 5th. Railroad is the only talk of the day; report says Major Qatlin and Col. Whit ford will combine forces; I heard some one say " Weli,' Whitford whipped them out at Morehead. " ' ' ' M Whipped who" Cut f,f - , , ''Why, the whole world,!' was the comprehensive reply. But it was not comprehensive for an old fogie, who retorted lastly . , , I ! " The world 1" yes, and the flesh and the devil too." Which is which, I don't undertake to decide; only give you the gossip and add that Maggie Tuliver used, when her temper was over, to pull the tacks out of her doll's head and put plasters ,'on, but the railroad " big guns " won't pull out that uncomfortable tack of not checking tiunks through, which they drove into the travelling public when they were, as the porter said, " at log gerheads " with Mr. Best. Col. Whit ford, I understand,' is doing his best to get it out,' but so far we can only check to Goidsboro. I leave to-day for Asheville to join the brethren: of the press there. Through mishap,' mistake, mismanagement, or some other kind of miss, I did not re ceive my pass until I reached here. Of course Mr. Jordan Stone was not to blame, though report does say that some of the members of the association are desirous of fixing things so that wives must be left at home, and no ladies al lowed to attend these meetings. I will find out the truth when I get to Ashe ville, but whether I tell the Journal what that truth is depends, as the French say. , Travel all sets Westward this sum mer. ' That fearful accident of the child carried off by a toy balloon at Morehead has deterred many persons from going down ' there, a party in which were twenty-five children turned suddenly away yesterday and followed Horace Greeley's advice. One old gentleman here actually wept over poor little "Birdie." 'Truly Doctor Blacknall " struck the sounding liar. " Now I do hope the compositor and the proof reader, between them will not make me say what I don't mean.. M. B. C. . ' ; Jones: County Items . . Died, in Trenton, July 4th, 1883, little Rudolph, the last member of Mr. E. G. McDaniel's family, aged 6 months. Mr, McDanlel has been exceedingly unfortunate, haying recently lost his beloved wife and three bright and in teresting children; In his great be reavement we extend to him the heart felt sympathies of the community, and hope he will find condolence from the source from which all temporal as well as spiritual blessings flow. The citizens of Trenton and communi ty have taken active steps towards the erection of quarters for the convict force by organizing themselves into a meeting with P. M. Pearsall as chairman and I. T. Wilson secretary. A committee was appointed composed of C. H. Foy, T. C. Whitaker, Job L. Kinsey,. R. H. Morten and E. M. Foscue, who are to make ar rangements for ' and superintend the work: 'Within the next thirty days the work will be completed. ' Bell's Perry Items. Mr. Editor: Tell Major Geo. Credle to go in his hole, as the floor is claimed now by C. P. Gaskins and E. C. Speir. Mr. Gaskins, on his way home from fishing one day last week, met with E C. Speir and stopped, and while they were talking a partridge lit on a stump near by, whereupon Mr. Gaskins threw a cat fish that was yet alive at the bird and killed It. About that time 10 or 12 other partridges came up and com' menced picking and scratching the fish which caused him to commence throw ing his head and flouncing about, and by so doing he killed eight other birds. Gaskins and Speir says he must have done it with his homes or fins. So ends the .fish story which Messrs. Gaskins and Speir say they will vouch for. Mr, 'Speir say s soon after Mr. Gaskins left with his fish and birds, he. heard young chickens In the. woods nearby he went in the woods, found a hen and eleven young chicks; i he ; caught the little chicks, tied them up in a handker chief and was trying to catch the old hen when he heard some noise towards where he left the young chickens; he looked just in time to see a large .hawk going off with his handkerchief and all the chickens. He has -not aeea hand kerchief, chickens or hawkisihee, as he knows of. I would like to hear from Johnson Bryan, what you say? ' ' j By the wayv Mr... John Brooks says be had cotton bolla as . large as a hickory nut on the 13th of June.' -That beats the Commodore who claims the first cotton blossom in our section on the 23d of June. The Commodore has been truck farming; this Tear. I would like to know how he likjes the business.
