Murrill's, in Onslow, to W. E. Ward's, in Jones. The distance from Mr, Murrill's to Trenton by the old route is 22 miles, by the new road 20. From Murrill's to Trent river it is 17J miles. - An effort is being made how to obtain a charter to build a tramway over this road, with a view, of changing it to' a railroad in the near future. A tram way : or barrow guage railroad from Trent river to Tar rivet with a steamer at each end of the lineone on Trent and one on New Tiver would srive quick transportation to one of the finest farming sections in. the State. There are two corporations' forming we under stand to do this work provided they Can get a charter, from the proper authori ties. But we fear they will spend too much time in fighting each other in stead of uniting their efforts and have the work done. ' It is of the utmost im portance to New Berne and the 1 people of .Onslow county, and it is be boned that those who desire to engage in the work may unite their efforts and obtain the right to put the work down at once. Letter from FontTllle, Fla. ,! , - - Fontville, Marion Co., Fla., ) ; , August 29th, 1883. J Editor Journal: By request of many of your readers L drop you the follow ing lines: ...' . This country is much healthier than I expected to find it. Emigrants must expect a hard time the first year unless provided with a good capital, j i . Farmers are done gathering corn in many .instances. - They say they have made enough for two years if the wee' vil would let it alone, j i i . The government gives every actual settler . the chance to homestead "160 acres of land by paying about 823, and residing on it five years. The country is being rapidly settled up, and the great heed is for a few enterprising men with steam saw mills.'

This of itself is a sufficient evidence for the moral status of the community. ; : It was at this Academy that a school closed on the 30th day of August, under the tutorship of Mr.;L. A. Garner, a gentleman or rare attainments as a teacher. . The students, some forty in number, certainly far surpassed the ex pectation of their, parents and friends. The singing, declamations, reading, and in fact, all their studies would have been creditable to those more advanced! After the exercises were over, the large audience in attendance were invited to partake of a sumptuous dinner, which had been prepared by the patrons of the school and all were filled. A few min utes after dinner was over Dr. Edward W. Ward, our worthy Superintendent of Public Instruction waB escorted to the eland oi: I held the audience SDell bound for about an hour in a lecture to the pupils and patrons of the. Bchool, urging them to rush forward in the great cause of education. i ' Tiie patrons of this school' are fully win s.Kil up iu the great cause of educa- t: a , and a re no w making arrangements f :r V, :0 orci :'l ?n of anew school build-i"-.":.

Nothing exciting or un usual occurred to disturb the harmony of the occasion.. ino crops in jones generally are much injured by the recent dry weath er.

He has kindly offered to furnish lumber free of charge to build a public school house in his school district. 1 . There are very good crops oii the Daves place" in the Piny Grove sec tion; perhaps this is owing, in a great measure, to the good luck and superior management of Abner Dawson who lives there, and ' who never makes failure.

Some of the nicest of Jones county's fair daughters were present to add enjoyment and pleasure to the scene. Kinston and other portions of Lenoir were repre sented. .Several '. of Kinston 's fair daughters graced the occasion with their presence which added no little to the enjoyment of the occasion. . All passed away the time pleasently. Music and dancing were among the amusements. -. The "laying of the corner -stone? of the jail, under the auBpices of E. M. Foscue, was not attended by as much eclat as was expected. The people don't seem" to manifest much' interest upon such occasions. " They look upon jails more as the necessary evidences of a people's misfortunes and the erection of them as publio necessities rather than as occasions of public rejoicing or de monstrations. Surely this is a "new departure,", when necessary i public evils come to be occasions for celebra tions. Why a people should wish to celebrate an occasion of this kind we are at a loss to determine; Jails we have ever looked upon as evidences of a people's misfortuno and sometimes de generacy, and tho people who commit crimes deserving of incarceration thore in are generally the most depraved of our species, and we fain 'would weep rather than, rejoice at the misfortune or.J f.ill of erring humanity, and jails 1 j i i.ion houses and all reformatory '. . .: lop.a b'.iould evor be looked upon ' r : 1 1 -i-.-Monts of sorrow than of . ,! l. y point with unerring I) a. 1 decadence and ruin ,10118 came down on : vc up the Quaker Bridge road and according to his esti mate, which he says is correct, it is 15 miles, within a fraction, from E. M. Murrill's to W. E. Ward's. He' says the road will be completed' by Novem ber 1st. Mr. Simmons says it is about four miles from the new road, near the head of White Oak river, to Isaac Brock's on Cypress creek. If so, there ought to be a road running from Cy press creek to Quaker Bridge road. It would certainly be a great convenience to the farmers living in that section' Let us then by all means have the Tram road if it will be beneficial to all this section of country, which it doubtless will. It, is also three miles from the head of the river to Geo. W. Smith's on the Onslow Bide, therefore a road of seven miles would, bring the two sec tions, Cypress creek and Onslow county, together, whereas now the distance is thirty miles, and these are two of the richest sections of Jones and Onslow counties. Both the wisdom and ex pediency of building this : road then is manifest. .- ' . ' t- ".' : the latest news. ' Boston, September 5. The opening exercises of the American Exposition at the Manufacturers' and . Mechanics' In stitute took place to-day. The exercises were held in the hall at the north end of the building in the presence of a large number of invited guests. It was 12:15 o'clock before the Governor , entered upon the platform, followed by his staff and the guests of the occasion. Among the party , were , Secretary Chandler, Lieutenant-Governor Ames and repre sentatives of foreign governments. The exercises began with prayer by Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D. , John M Little in a few words . presented as presiding officer bis Excellency Gov. Butler who delivered the open ing address. This was followed by speeches ; from Secretary Chandler, Judge Sjmmes, of Denver, Governor Jarvis, of North Carolina, Julia Ward Howe and- others, and an oration by Gen. Francis A. Walker. Governor Jarvis, in responding for the South to Governor Butler's welcome, said he came not to shake hands over the bloody, chasm but to clasp hands with New England over the grow ing prosperity of a united people. Differences which had been settled, era i; people came Union , they : came led to. the war When the South- back into the pledged to loy- alty, but under the reconstruction yviKj nuupau ujr ywuHl.0 v.uuu wiou State and county governments in the hands of persons who did not serve the interests of the section in which they lived. This was what made the South Bolid not hatred for the 'government, but a desire for wise laws justly admin istered. The development of the South had been confined mostly to the past ten years. In North Carolina over twenty new cotton factories had been erected, factories in wood and iron were build ing, and all over North Carolina to-day there was a spirit of contentment. Our business ' and publio interest , he said require that there shall be no more harsh speaking of one section by another. I bid you to join me in this sentiment: "Our united country, to thoe we cling." Mayor Palmer was the last speaker, and at the conclusion of bis remarks the Goveruor formally declared the exhi bition open. The exhibits are far from being com pleted. Much space on the main floor is still vacant, and many of the exhibits are incomplete. North Carolina makes the largest exhibit of any single State outside or Massachusetts 4.
