T Anil MM V..M 1 V. - ...... -1 Ul U1UC1 UlTQUUi pilUbOlD U1D UDUU1 holiday, ( no . paper will be issued afterV':.tha'i' number.'?; before ) Frt .day morning. That our readers may know that it is a genuine holiday for the printer, we remind them that we pay for a full week's work. Our readers surely cannot complain of this as the Journal has never failed to come to time since its first issue, on the 1st day of April,' 1883, save on the 4th day of July, Thanksgiving day and Christ mas all National holidays. For the uniform promptness with which we have been able to get out every issue we are much indebted to our foreman, Mr. R. Claiborne, who thoroughly un derstands his business and is always on ; hand. In fact our whole typo force are Bober, industrious, clever gentlemen. It Is a pleasure to deal with such. Lavire Shipment of Oysters. Mr. Geo. N. Ives shipped from Beau . ion on monuay mumuiiwu .uuuureu and sixty-two gallons of oysters," which M--.t. - i r 1 - ' ! . - 1 l'J is said to be the largest shipment ever made from one depot in North Carolina by any one man at one time. His total shipments for the week ending to-day amount to seven hundred and" seventy- five gallons. Mr." Ives takes consider able interest in developing the fish and ovster industry of this section and de - serves all the success he may achieve ' An article on the bister industry from his pen, which appeared in the Journal last spring, gave evidence of thorough lrnowledee of the business and was ' f-nninrt Axtanaivelv .bv the panel . fry, i-Aiinrnrtnr rnH nutT.H. rua iui ie bliiu menta the past week will give one an idea of the amount of this traftl whon if. i rntiRidered that he is ouly one among several dealers. . V ITClstakeu. ' Mistaking the Journal office for a Christmas store, several young ladies burst in on us last night; finding their mistake they contented themselves with look at the power press working off the paper of to-day. , We wish to say to those and all other young ladies that although the Journal office is always endeavoring to look sweet, yet it is not a candy store, but will be glad to greet them at any time. Dream. ' . r One of : our bachelor merchants dreamed a dream the other night, and was something on this order:. He dreamed that he had wooed and won the darling of his heart, bad been marritfd several days, his joy and happiness was complete, except that no one, else knew that he; was. magyed, awtjiw greatppiew lines in yonr columns, I would desire to inform his friends of his per fect bliss and to receive their congratu lations, he determined to go to the Journal office and have his marriage notice published in the New Berne Journal. Of course we are very sorry that the above was only a dream, for we would take great pleasure in publishing the notice at any time. Jewelry. The last session of the panel having been hastily terminated by the alarm of horse runaway" it was deemed expe dient to asoortain how many horses, all told, were Owned by the members. And for this purpose, an officer was depu tized to take the census of horses, mares and colts belonging to the panel, for which service he was to be allowed ten cents per head so soon as the animals were properly tabulated and reported to the panel, with the proviso that if not completed within two years, the pay would be forfeited and his services in the matter sequestrated to the good of the order. Current business was now declared the order of the hour, when the tram road was brought up and diverse opin ions expressed upon the subject. The fact that Onslow county had granted the right to one company and the county Jones had withheld the right from that company or any other was the sub ject of some solicitude, which was aptly disposed of by the suggestion that the company having the right build the tramroad through Onslow to the line of Jones and then an elevated road across Jones to a point somewhere in Craven county and thus subject the Jones county men to the inconvenience of driving over into Onslow to take the road for this place, and that of coming over into Craven to take the road when wishing to visit Onslow, or go a fishing on New river. Some thought it might be better still to take the two ditches that are now on opposite sides of the Quaker Bridge road and put them both on the same side, which would give double width and double depth to them, call it a . canal and have no tramroad except a tow path.' Some little mathe matical sparring was engaged in over the proposition that the two ditches on be ing put together would double both the width and depth, but an annalitical il lustration soon settled that. The prop osition seemed plain enough to most of the panel that two ditches, each one four f eei deep and four feet wide equals one ditch eight feet deep and eight feet wide,' that is, if old man Dabol told the truth when he said twice four is eight The means of supporting the elevated road and also that of removing the ditch will be discussed at another session when it Is hoped that the opinion of Lewis Washington may be had upon the subject. , The laying of the corner stone in the new court house was also brought to the attention of the panel and in the main the matter approved. The member regretted to hear that a liberally dis posed citizen had been talked out of his purpose to put a caie or cotton in trie corner ' stone. No friend -to the farmer ' ' should have done that Any new purpose for which cotton can be used is desirable to aid in the con sumption of the over yield which is now depressing the price of our crop. And the members are of the opinion that such a use for it would have been de cidedly new, and the number of bales thus consumed would nave increased as the years rolled on to an extent that woma aimosc siugger md imagination Think of the corner stones that are laid every year, and then think of the corner stones that have not yet been laid, and the figures are simply aston ishinir. .;!.: ' :rv - .'Y-i.'.-v The panel threfore having the interest of the farmers deeply at heart, do sol emnly declare that no person should ever, by any word, , deed, or paper writing, make any attempt, or sem blance of an attempt,, to disuade, per suade,' or intimidate in any manner, bull dozing or otherwise, any person or persons, jointly or severally, from the purpose of putting bales of cotton in corner stones. - " ' At this stage the census taker asked an appropriation for the purpose of buying a book to enumerate the horses of the panel, which he thought might be pur chased for two dollars and a half, when he was assured that the outlay would be duly allowod when the work was com pleted. . .c . : , . - " Chrlstmag Chimes. Ob ring, ?lad bells, ring loud and sweet,' And may these hearts of ours repeat This Christmas morn, the grand old song The tide of ages bears along, Stmp by the Christian ages still, ' "Be oeace on earth, to men good-will." Let us put by all care that frets, All grovelling thoughts, all vain regrets. And think of Christ, born lonf ago. In Hethlehem's manger, poor and low. And while the bells for gladness ring Remember.how they crowned him king. Oh, thorn-crowned head! oh, bleeding hands To-day the loving Saviour stands And shows his wounds; and this his plea "Hast thou forgotten Calvary T" Think how he loved, and lived, and died, And not of earth, at Christmas tide. Ring on, glad bells, ring loud and sweet, Beneath the adoring angels' feet, Whllegrateful thoughts from earth arise As Christmas incense to the skies, , And let us sing the song again Of peace en earth, good will to men. Head of Navigation Little Swift , ; Creek.' Editor Jouknal: If vou will permit like to call the attention of the commun ity of Little Swift creek and the travel ing public to the fact that there is a move on foot at our next commission ers' meeting, the first Monday in Janu ary, to discontinue the new road known as touching the head of navigation of Little Swift creek. Many of us were opposed and petitioned against this road, upon the ground that it would be burdensome to the community to build. Since the community has been burdened with four years hard labor, with all the time the law would allow, with other voluntary service rendered, have opened and made the road, which will be of much advantage to the community and a large portion of the public traveling to New Berne. The road also makes a short communication between two dis tinct neighborhoods. The creek also is the township line; it makes a short com munication for townships numbers one and two if they wish to procure aid from one to the other. Where this road crosses the creek is the central point of all produce shipped down that creek from No. 1 and No. 2 townships. We have borne the heat and burden of the day, now let us reap the advantage of the improvement. It is not just, since we have been forced against our wishes to build the road, that it should be taken from us and allowed to go up as the forest, and. our four years labor lost to gratify a few persons actuated from self ish motives who have not borne any of the burden of building the road. The question is: should this few be favored, or those that have spent their money and labor to build the road? This brings the whole matter in a nutshell, the fight is between capital and labor, but With our explicit confidence in our board of county commissioners, we don't believe that anyone can actuate . them to act against the public interest of their coun ty if they can have correct information. We would suggest to them, before tak ing any action, if not fully satisfied, to send one or as many of their body as they may deem proper, to examine the road. They will find the statement of their humble servant, a supervisor of public roads, correct. Upon examina tion they wiM see that the new road forms a junction with the Willis Bridge Road ; the discontinuation of one would justify the discontinuation of the other, which would discommode a large set tlement of farmers from their county seat. In case of storms or stormy winds, the Streets Ferry is the only way we have to meet our Superior or commis sioners courts except by Vanceboro, eight miles difference in distance. . I am not actuated by any self-interest, have been neutral in the matter, haven't any action only where my duty de manded for the publio interest. J AS. t . HEATH. Kinston Items. Cotton receipts very light, price only nominal, 0 for best. It ia believed the most of it is in. A certain New Berne dude, visiting Kinston last week and beholding (Jhar lie Butt's astonishing success in the auc tion line, attributed it all to the uncivil ized condition of this people. This dude, like the monkey, his great original, al- ways gets his impressions from bis over mastering self-conceit. ' Miss Virginia O. Pollock and W. A. J, Pollock, children of Dr. A. J. Pollock, of Warrington Navy Yard, Florida, are at Kinston visiting their grandfather, Dr. W. A. J. Pollock and other rela tives. They are fine looking specimens of humanity, bearing no indications of a conflict with "Yellow Jack" last fall. Last Saturday and Monday were com paratively dull days for Christmas times in Kinston. The people seem to lack the money wherewith to make the need' ful preparations. Nevertheless we had the usual amount of noise from pop crackers, pop-guns, and tin horns which go to make Christmas pleasant to young America. . ' "Give me your horn, Gabriel, give me your horn, ' said David to an auction eer last Saturday, and Gabriel passed the born whioh is to wake creation at Judgment day to the beautiful and mu sical David. It is to be hoped, however, David will not, on that momentous day, turn his horn too early towards our neighboring cities. La Grange and Tren- ton, as the inhabitants of those citfes do not take to wind instruments and will not be ready for the instrumental con cert of that day till yery late in the af ternoon. : . ; : "Nigger know too muoh now he free," sadly, sighed old Alex Sugg, a veteran of slavery times, as he related how last Saturday, two confederate "niggers" lifted ten dollars out of his pletnorio portmonie as Moses lifted the serpent out of the wilderness. The con federates, in the old man'B presence. proposed a bet, which, in his view offered a certain chance of winning fifty dollars. One of- the parties needed ten dollars Jo complete the stakes, which he readily obtained from the old man. The ten dollars flew with the flying darkey, old Alex pursuing, till the idea struck him that, if he overtook the ras cal, he might get a broken head as well as lose his money. "Certain things," says old Alex, "are darned uncertain." 1 The oldarchitectof all the fine houses in Jonea and Onslow counties, who, with other night birds, was roosting in the "Owl House" one night last week and in a dream mistook himself for an owl and fastened his claws in the long head of a sleeping mortal for a "spring chicken," was hauled up before His Honor, the Mayor, last Saturday and adjudged to hand over in short time to "Billost" $3.60 or take up an undeter minated residence in the calaboose. He fell upon the latter alternative, but finding no "old bourbon" nor other heating apparatus in his apartments, he now vowa he has been endamaged in feelings and in health $10,000 and will institute a civil suit against the town for that amount. He thinks he might be induced to compromise for the Cas well Monument and Bill Phillips' ele gant barroom fixtures and contents. Oh I how vain these bie civil suits for raamages make a dreaming mortal. Diaries for 1884 for sale at Mrs. 8. F. Stanly's Book store. Breezes in the Spice Islands are not laden with more fragrance than a breath rendered pure' and aromatic with Sozodont, which restores whiteness to yellow teeth and soundness to defec tive ones. Neither man nor woman can hope to carry any point by the force of persuasion, with a mouthful of unclean, discolored teeth and an unpleasant breath. Sozodont remedies both these repulsive physical traits, and is pre eminently healthful as well as effective. Twenty-four Hours to Live. From John Kuhn, Lafayette, Ind., who announces that he is now in "per fect bealth." we have the following: "One year ago I was, to all appearance, in the last stages of consumption. Our best physicians gave my case up- I finally got so low that our doctor said I could only live twenty-four hours. My friends then purchased a bottle of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, which considerably benefited me. I continued until I took nine bottles, and I am now in perfect health. The tobacco of the club room ought to be of the purest kind and most delicate fragrance. Where many enjoy their pipes or cigarettes together, the air soon becomes heavy and offensive unless they are very particular about their choice of brands.
