Short Crops and Long Jags. The farmers complain of short crops. On yesterday . we saw a good many farmers in town, but instead of short crops, they- had long jugs, this time. We suppose the farmers think of the old saying, "Christmas comes but once a year," and have determined to have a little egg-nog and a "short" or two, any how. They will have to take 'sliorta'' on account of the short crops. Drowned. '. We learn from the Beaufort Telephone that tvo colored men, Obed Gaskill and Samuel Hawkins, while out oyster ing on Friday last iu a canoe, the boat was struck by a sudden squall and imme diately sank. (iaskiii secured tue oars and oyster tongs which enable him to float until picked up by a passing schooner. Hawkins caught the plat form of the canoe, which proved of no avail, and was drowned. A Market House, Our correspondent "Z" presents a plan elsewhere for the erection of a market house and other city offices. We believe the plan a good one for raising money for improving the city, but we are not prepared to say that a market house is one of the greatest necessities ust now. New Berne is not so fortun ate at this time as her sister towns of Raleigh, Charlotte, Wilmington, Golds- boro and Kinston. In these towns, the larger portion of the taxes go to main tain the government of and improvo the cities, but in New Berne, though our taxes are as high and considerably higher , than most of the towns men tioned; yet our city gets but a small pittance of it. So if we ever intend to make any permanent improvements we must adopt some such method as "Z" suggests. But we think the act should forbid the placing of the bonds for less than eighty or ninety cents in the dollar. Mall Facilities. Our correspondent "Progress," whose communication appeared in yesterday's issue, is certainly on the right track in regard to securing the advantages of the fast mail. The government has provided this service at an enormous expense, yet our Northern mail, which is of more interest to our business men and the publio generally than any other is detained at. Goldsborb nearly a day and night. We do not believe New Berne is treated fairly by the Depart ment in mail facilities, but we believe it is the fault of our own poople. We recently pointed out a plan by which better facilities might be had with Hyde county by way of Vandemere, but no one seems to be interested in the matter. ,. We believe our Postmaster at this place needs more assistance; true, he can employ assistance and pay for it out of his own salary,' and is doing it at this time; but is it right' The laborer is worthy of his hire; if the postmaster here needs assistance the government is amply able and should pay for it, and not compell him to employ . help out of his own salary to do that which' he cannot - do ; himself. But the people need not expect these things to be given them unless they ask for it. - lb is a slu.me that our mail for Hyde county should have to go by way of .'Washington and be a week on the route! i, This would have done fifty years ago, but in this age of steamboats, rail roads, telegraphs and telephones, a peo pie who are active ' and alive to '. their interest, and trying to keep pace ! with the times, will not submit to it. But, we repeat, we must not sit still and wait for the gov ernment to look after us. There is noth ing to be lost by asking and always for aplenty. The command "ask and ye shall receive"may not always be liter ally fulfilled when asking for this world's goods, but certain it is, without the asking but little will be given. The Jewels. RevlTlmus. t After a long absence the Panel are again before the public. - Many persons were of the- Opinion' that the Jewells were dead, but tney, wero only m a comatose state, which through the effects of a dull cotton market, the new steps on the side of the cotton building and the rays of a genial sun has at last passed away, and they 'are' once more in statue quo. 'i ; ; ; - - -- - At the first sitting there was a happy reunion, which for genuine' patliosnas never been equalled except it was in tha reunion i oi Bulwers Virtues un der the old oak in Windsor Forest. Some had. been East even unto Boston, some We8taflfar as Louisville, some South dear to Florida and some North way "down in Jersey where it's different." The sights seen, the things heard, and pleasures enjoyed by each, was told over and over with a reliBh like unto that of Othello relating his war experience to Desdemona.. -. ' " ,'""V''' One had been up in the mountains, where the air was so pure and every thing so anti-mundane that his thoughts ascended skywards to such & extent that it required the services of his land lord and the ' town .constable to get his mind directed sufficiently earthwards to settle his board bill before leaving the hotel. . .. .j Others had experienced hair-breadth esoapes of various kinds, but generally from being captured by little cupid with nothing but his bow and arrow concealed behind a pair of sparkling eyes and flowing ringlets or Lang try bangs. '.' - - ' . ' f Where there was so much joy prevail ing and such happiness exuding through the pores of all, much business could not be attended to, so but one topic re ceived any attention, and that was the election of speaker. -There were Randall men, Cox men and Carlisle men, each pressing ' the claims of favorites with all the ardorof a Democratic officer seeker before a Re publican caucus. Much was said and but little done in the matter, and an estoppel was served on the proceedings by the announcement that Carlisle had been elected something over a week ago. This necessarily modified the views of the Randallites and Coxites as well as it intensified the zeal of the Car lisleites. Mr. Carlisle's position on the tariff question then became a matter of inves tigation, when it was pronounced to be unqualifiedly and unalterably "Revenue for Tax," which seemed to be quite as satisfactory to the Protectionist as to the Free Traders and all intermediate stations. ; Further proceedings were interrupted by the announcement that a horse had runaway up the street and each member left in anxious expectation to see if it was his. , A Market House. jiir. jditoe: it is rair to presume that, as soon as the new court house shall have been completed, the city au thorities will have to vacate the premises now occupied as a ronce station and City Clerk's office, and accommodation provided elsewhere. Iu order to meet this question, would it not be well for the Board of Councilmen to consider the question of erecting such a building as win not only provide offices for tlie cltv officials, but afford needed accommoda tion to the public in the way of a mar ket which shall be located as near the central part of the city as practicable. A suitable building of brick some what after the plan of the market house in Raleigh, could be erected foraveiy reasonable sum, and the amount neces sary therefore could be raiBed by a very small advance in the rate of taxation, and the writer suggests the following. as one plan, by which the money may be ootainea: Let the Legislature pass an actau thorizing the issue of bonds to an amount not exceeding ten thousand dollars, in denominations of $25 each, bearing in terest at the rate oi say nve per centum per annum, with the proviso unless ac cepted or approved by a majority of the votes cast at an election of the qualified voters to be held at the time selected for the election of Councilmen. In the issue of these bonds let the act authorize the city to reserve the right of their re demption any tune after five years of all or such part as there shall be means in the treasury to devote to that purpose, H the issue be lor ten thousand dol lars, the annual interest will be 1500 Let the rate be raised so as to produce $1,000, one-half of which to be devoted to the liquidation of the interest and the other half to constitute a sinking fund; after five years there would have accumulated $2500 in the sinking fund which might be devoted to the reduc tion of the principle that much, the rate of tax could then be reduced so as to give $750 of this sum $375 would be required to pay the interest on the bal ance of the debt, and the same amount to the sinking fund, at the end of the second five years, there would have ac cumulated $1,875 which would reduce the principle to $5,625 continue the same rate of taxation, which would pay the interest, and devote the surplus annually to the redemption of outstand ing bonds in the numerical order in which issued, and at the end of the sec ond ted1 years the entire debt will have been paid. The revenues to be derived from the rental of market stalls, and the amount now paid by the city in the way of rent or lease money have not been considered in the above calculation. If the revenues mentioned above were devoted to the payment of the debt, the rate of taxation could be correspond ingly decreased and in the end the tax payer would not have paid any higher rate than would be necessary to meet the annual current expenses for rent, etc., now paid, while the city would own a substantial market building. "Character in smoking" is the title of an excellent article recent published The writer judges his men by the kind of tobacco they smoke. - All like good tobacco, but all are not judges. , It is only the even tempered, level-headed, tastefully inclined man that takes pains to make a selection. He gets to be very particular about purity and flavor. But when he strikes a tobacco like Black- well's Durham Long Cut, he is tenacious of his prize, and intolerant of all lnfe nor tobaccos. ,. ' , : d . ' Leading Members of the dramatio and musical professions testify to the beautifying influence of Sozodont upon the teeth. Personal comeliness is a positive capital to publio performers, and they find that the use of sozodont materially seconds the nat ural charm of a pleasing face. Let all who wish to'avert the disaster sure to overtake neglected teeth, try a hew de parture and cleanse them regularly with this agreeable preservative. d&w Mr. L. Thomas, Warrenton, N. C, says: "I used Brown's Iron Bitters for dyspepsia and consider it the greatest remedy tnown." . Kinston Items. A health journal says that you ought to take three quarters of an hour for dinner." It is well also to add a few vegetables and a piece of meat. ' ! There were five sheriffs at the hang ing of Guilford Edwards at Kinston on the 20th inst. Fearful wdrk must be anticipated in the adjoining counties. , Sheriff Davis made a skillful job of his first hanging last Thursday. The unfortunate victim himself could not have asked for a more complete and easy removal. Be kind to one another. It is folly to be alwas criticising the acts and motives of your neighbor. A sympathetio look or word costs nothing, but sometimes it is of great yalue to some struggling soul. The world is full of worry and heart aches and we can all do something with gentle word to make a brother's bur den lighter. , . Your Seven Springs itemizer, who uses the pen as skillfully as he does the scalpel, was here last Thursday, "taking notes and raitn he il prent 'em. " How ever, if any one should get scalped, let him try the healing waters of these amous springs. ' They restored that dead man, Nick Hunter, to life. Goldsboro, Wilson. Norfolk. New York, Massachusetts, Nashville, Tenn., ana ' tsnatcliit in the State of Duplin, - were fully represented the tragedy m Kinston on the 20th mat. Kinston has not seen another such a day since the Caswell monument went up. Let us soon have another monument or another hanging. The contractor has finished, according to his construction of the contract, the new road from Kinston to the river bridge and the publio are passing over it. it is a great improvement on the old road ana win be of immense beneht to the traveling public. The authorities claim that the work has not been done as it was "nominated in the bond" and have appointed a committee to examine the work and report. When a man be comes a public contractor, he had better take the Irishman's advice: "Make no promises and kape 'em."
