Simmons ap peariog for defendants " ' y i Sunday Tralu. '; ' The Sunday train was discontinued on the 12th of this month. This was all right, and we commend the President for so doing. : We think that railroad men ought not to be required to work on the Sabbath, any more than a clerk or a book keeper in a grocery store. But we learn that on the very day when the Sunday train was stopped, that'an extra train left this place to accommo date some of the officials of the road j If this is true, it is all wrong. Extra trains should not be run on Sunday any more than the regular passenger trains, un less there was a real necessity for it.) ; Kev. C. A. Jenkins. . J,, Rev.' C. A.- Jenkins, as announced, preached in the Baptfet Church Sunday morning and evening. His sermon in he morning was based upon the Bth verse ot tne lotn cnapter ot judges A large congretration was present and all seemed greatly pleased with the ser mOn. lor a deep rich voice, over which he has full control, aud ease and grace in the pulpit, he has few equals. From all we can learn' the members; of the Baptist Church are delighted with him, and we doubt not that they will endeavor to secure his services for their pastor. t ' I Prof. Thorn... ' .) Having talked with . Prof.. Price Thomas we find that he is thorougly acquainted with all the Improved meth ods of teaching and is well , up on the Graded School system. He is a young man, full of vim and energy and seems to have all his powers concentrated upon the subject ef education. We are satisfied that he will make a most desirable principal for our school and we think the trustees should congratu late themselves upon having secured the' services of so proficient' a man His school will begin in September and we are' confident that he will, infuse a spirit of life and energy into his pupils, Hole. ,.t :.; ' !.. V vjC" ; We have often had the question put to us, Why dor't,Nw Berne keep pace with other North Carolina towns And have a first class hotel with all .the modern improvements? . We have never been able to answer the question, for the reason that New Berne has business men who are fully able to build and equip such a house. ; We want a large commodious house,, with spacious, airy rooms and with all the modern improve ments and appurtenances that are now in use in the .first class hotels of this country. ' - 5. f'i. -W ' . : New Berne is beginning to improve we are making rapid strides in trade and in commerce. The business ; m tereetof the town is teing more care fully fostered and built up every day We have more visitors than formerly. and our country people are making more money and are better able to stop at a good hotel, than they were; just after the war, and if some of our enter prising men would take hold here and build a first class house, it would be a paying investment. Goldsboro, with no more wealth than we, has two elegant hotela.-i '. r . ' . 1 f It makes a bad impression upon any stranger to visit a. town and flntl no hotel that is up with the times. ,We have several' hotels here that are kept in as good style as the circumstances will admit, but none of these houses were designed for hotels when they were built and hence they are not well ar ranged. ' ' ' ' Will not some of our business men who have money, go to -work, and erect a builj; !;i tliat will be a credit to our city? Or are we content to go on and be beUml every li'tla one-horse town i j t..o CUto? We livpe ere long to see '. ti-c. : I Lra t!iat will 11 the ' "5i l every r7" 'r. ' Cheap Trou.cr. for Dude.

Trucking. -; ' Sometimes you hit it and sometimes you don't. ' One trucker in this vicinity is reported to have lost $7,000 the past season. Potatoes and watermelons the cause; one hundred acres of the latter after reaching northern markets were a drug, commission merchants refusing to receive them, and sold by transporta tion lines for freight charges and even they failed to realize the amount due them. . Make it up next year. - ! " Sunday School. .' ..- We are informed that several young men of the Methodist Church will open a Sunday School next Sunday, in the building known as Pollock Street Chapel. ' A place of this kind is much needed in that portion of the city and we hope the undertaking will be re warded with a grand success. Our cit izens in that locality should give their aid to the enterprise and help build up a good school. There are numbers of children in that vicinity who do not at tend any Sabbath School, who, hereafter will - have the opportunity ' without walking half a mile downtown to the other schools. Mr. Hardy Lane will be the Superintendent and we predict for the school under his management a brilliant success. ' ! ; Colored Graded Schjool. The entertainment given, to the citi zens of New Berne on the night of the 10th instant, as the result of a session of five weeks in the State Colored Nor mal School at New Berne, under the management of Miss Somerville and her corps of able assistance from Washing ton, D. C, was one long to be remem- membered. . These results are extraor dinary, and shows what can be accomp lished in the way of laying a, foundation for a good education under (this now system which teaches a child, and learns a teacher how to teach, in one half of the time consumed by the old method. i i Tins admirable work these accomp lished teachers have brought forth from crude material in five , weeks, a work from the very foundation, is indeed re markable, and shows that such teachers, who have few . superiors in the line of their profession, can accomplish won' ders in the way of imparting a knowl edge of books and all that is essential for a child or teacher to understand. The large number of teachers from this and other counties in this part of the State, who have had the good for tune to attend this session of the State Normal School here have acquired a knowledge and . how to impart what they ' know in the most concise and practicable way. . They have learned something new. Could this community be blessed with a school of this charac ter nine months in a year, one for each race, capable of teaching several hun dred students each, and each have a corps of teachers of the capacity and tact 'possessed by these teachers, it would not be many years before New Berne would be known in every section of the country. It is to be hoped that the grand results of this short session will wake up our . people and oause them to enter the race of progress with other sections of this State in this line in which race, from such a start as we now have, we can take the first prize, anq soon hold our own with any other section of the country, judging from the material we have to work with. : The local board Of this Normal School here, Rev. L. C. vass,' Geo. Allen and Geo. S. Fisher, are entitled to all praise for securing the services of these teach ers, who, we learn, take their departure for Washington, D. C, to day, after en joying an entertainment given for their benefit at Gray Lee Beach. The names of these teachers are: Ella W. Somer ville, W. E. Nichols, R. E. Coakly and M. P.

At six o'clock last evening the threatened strike of the- telegraphers employed by the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis rail way company was inaugurated. The company decided to insist that com mercial business should be received and summarily discharged Assistant Super intendent Devern, stationed at Colum bus, Ohio, who was known to be in sympathy with the. Brotherhood.. This determination : was : communicated to the operators and was immediately fol lowed by the Order to strike at 6 o'clock which was sent out by Master Work man . Egan. " The order was obeyed by all the operators in this city including the chief train dispatcher, and seems to have been generally ob served along the line. . Superintendent Taylor admits this, but says the strike haS not extended beyond Dennison Ohio, and that the principal offices will be supplied to-day. In the meantime trains will run by schedule. It is stated that the operators on the Pittsburg Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad will be ordered out to-day.. , ; j I New York," August , Il.r-At a meet ing of the, executive committee of the Brotherhood last evening it was Stated at 6 o'clock that 150 operators on, the Pittsburg! i Cincinnati and ; St.1' Louis railroad went, out on ftrike, leaving but two; men at work: ' A dispatch from 1 Chicago stated that only - nine men ' out of 500 have gone back to work.
