It is an old school and is sustaining its well-earned reputa- tion. We can cheerfully commend it to those who have boys to send abroad.

" We do not feel in quite as good ,, humor towards the printer who made v nonsense of our article on 1884 by stick . ing in a comma in one place and taking ' out a dash in another. But these are i holiday times. Our sanctum was honored on yester day, by a visit from Senator Theo. W. Toole, of Martin. As he is accompany ' ing Col. Pardee on a tour of observation ' in this section of the State, we urged . upon him to visit Richlands and vicin ity, in Onslow county. We did this for ; the double purpose of having Col. Pardee tsee a fine farming country and that Senator Poole, whom we hope will be Siis own successor in the 2nd district, may learn the necessities of the people ' In that section ia the way of transporta- '. tion facilities. We commend them to the good people of Onslow should they roach that section. ' . - Monday night a valuable horse, be longing to one of the young business ' men of this city, by some means or other got loose on Front street and went up very quietly to the bulletin board in front of Messrs. Dyers, upon which there was a picture of Alice Oates, and . broke down the post upon which it was suspended. It is presumed mat tne am- mal was tempted by the name of Oates . as suggestive of a good supper, but be- 1 ; came disgusted witn tne Kind displayed, . and showed his resentment by tearing the picture down so that other horses ' - -mieht not be cheated in like manner. Wilmington Review. K Condition of Farmers. , While there is much complaint of ihard times and short crops we Bre not tsure but the substantial farmers in this section are about as well off, financially, as they were twelve montliB ago. A few who planted largely in truck last spring may be excepted. One convinc ing evidence of this is the fact that those who have dealings with the National Bank here have paid up even belter than last year, and we know of no bettor evidence of prosperity among larmers than when they are paying their debts, and we know, of no better policy for farmers than to kwp on the good Bide of such an ac commodation institution as the Nation1 al Dank of New Berne. ' ; ; ' We have received the first numbe-of 27ie Republican, a weekly paper, pub lished at Asheville, N. C. One of the articles'in its creed reads thusly; 3rd. "It will oppose the forcod and unnatural alliance as inaugurated last yr, with the 'Anti-Prohibition, O t ii, Liberal, Democratic Party.' " Coali I -1 much comfort in this for the Prosperous Attorney. , : ' , ' We see the law offices of L. J. Moore, Esq., and Messrs. Nixon, Simmons and Manly . on . South Front street have recently . received a : new ' coat of paint, making . them v appear as bright and glittering as 'the legal minds that . occupy them. The inside of these offices have also been re cently renovated and refurnished, giv ing them a cosy, comfortable and pros perous appearance. We take this as an evidence of prosperity and we are pleased to add that these gentlemen richly deserve the success they have achieved. There are others hard by who are propably just as successful, and deservedly bo, but they have not yet put on style. Emancipation Day. .Yesterday the colored people celebra ted the anniversary of the emancipation proclamation issued by Hi. Lincoln while he was President, w Inch declared all persons hold in slavery within the limits of the United States hence' forth free. This was issued as a war measure and we belieue was never claimed as fully in accordance with the constitution; certain it is that it was never deemed as sufficient to insure the emancipated per sons a perpetual freedom until incorpo rated into the Constitutions of the sev eral States in which slavory had pre viously existed, henco the' day has but little significance to the freedmen of to day, because their freedom in fact dates from the adoption of the amended State Constitutions which was at a later date by over two years. The date of this proclamation is twenty-one years ago yesterday, so the race emancipated, as many of them believe, at that time this morning attain to a majority, the same as a child born that day has done, that is they have run through the minority period of twenty one years and step forth freemen. ; . Now the important question for thorn to consider is are they doing all in their might to improve the advantages they have thus attained and are they making such efforts as they should to qualify them for the responsibilities and obliga tions resting upon them by this attain ment? . ; , -Distinguished Visitors. Col, Benj. S. Pardee, editor of the Palladium, New Haven, Conn., and Senator Theo. W Poole of Martin coun ty, arc at the Gaston House. Col. Par dee has been engaged in writing up the industries, products and advantages of North Carolina since the Boston expo sition, and is visiting this portion of the State for the purpose of gaining further information from personal observation and Senator Poole is bearing him com pany on the tour. ! 1 Col. Poole represented the Second Senatorial district in the last Legisla ture, and distinguished himself in that body for earnest attention to the mate rial welfare of the State at large and especially in regard to the railroad in terest of the same, and we f oel assured that Col. Pardee could not have a better escort than he has in the person of the Senator, who has large and varied ex perience in all matters pertaining to the products of the soil, timbers of the woods and fishes of the sea, and is fa miliar with the manners and customs of our people and withal a genial, noble hearted North Carolinian. ; , 'vVe bespeak for these gentlemen the courteous attention of all our citizens while they remain with us, for through the eyes of Col. Pardee, thousands of en ergetic, industrious,, thrifty New Eng enders will see the country through which he is passing, and learn from that source facts that could in no other, way be brought to their attention by means so satisfactory and convincing to them While in Col, Poole we may secure an able advocate in the next Legislature in any improvements we may desire at the hands of that Assembly, should his Die trict consult its true interest, as we think it will, in returning him at the election inrNovember next. We remember having met Col. Pardee at the Atlanta Exposition where he was in charge of the Northern Press Associa tion and to whom we were indebted for numerous courtesies aud valuable aid in carrying out the object of our visit Election of Officers. A regular meeting of Sand Hill Lodge, No. 2,686, R, of II., located at Sand Hill, Lenoir county, was held Friday, December 28th, 1883, and,- it being the time prescribed by the consti tution for the annual election of officers the Lodge proceeded to ballot, which resulted in the follawing named offi ceis being duly and regularly elected for the ensuintt year, to-wit: F. M. Haskins, Dictator; W. B. Grif fin, V. D.; lieubin Hood, A. D.,Seth West, r. V.; A. 15. Kinsey, K.t J. U Sutton, F. R. ; J. A. B. Heath. Treas.; J C. Kennedy, Chap., (Grand Trustee J. L.

STATE NEWS Cleaned from our Exchanges. Wilmington Review: The steam ship Vidette bas been put on the me between this city and liaitimore in connection with the Raleigh, and be two will alternate so as to have weekly line between the two cities. t is gratifying to know that this new enterprise has proved so suc cessful as to call for additional freighting capacity, and we have no doubt that, as the advantages of the line become more lully demon strated, there will be still further auditions demanded. Ooldsboro Messenger: The Florida party that lelt this city some weeks ago have returned. Oapt. R. P. Howell brought back with him a young alligator, . a present from Miss Mary Jones to Prol. E. A Alderman. some utile negro children while playing in the field near the rice mill last Sunday even ing found the body of a negro man buried in a box about two iect un dor ground. The coroner was seut lor and an investigation showed that the man had been some time defunct and under ground, but no clue to his identy could be obtained. Wo know all the particulars ol how came the body to bo there, but it is unnecessary to go into them suuico it to say that the body is that of the negro, old Alex. How ard, who was hanged in this city in July, 1880, for the murder of old Mr. Isabel Autry, ol Sampson county. " Charlotte Observer: Tho firm of ornhardt Brothers, dealers in gen eral merchandise, have made an assignment for the bt&htot credit ors. The amount ot their lailure is variously estimated at from $30,000 to IS0,0UU. We regret to learn that Col. Winslow Alexander, uncle to Sheriff Alexander, and one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of " Charlotte, received a stroke of paralysis yesterday affcer- noon, , Irom which he is not ex pected to recover.- North Caro lina's tall men are being discussed abroad, and the Washington Post has sent a representative to this State especially to do up our wonders in tho way of tall men.' Over in Cabarrus that representative will find a man named Hemseman, who is six feet ten inches tall, and in Mecklenburg he will find plenty of men so tall that he will have to look up twice to see their heads. Tho l'osfs man ought to come this way. He has been down in Greene county and has found a man 6 feet 7 inches tall, but that's not a cir cumstance in this section of . the State. Of the Greene productions he says: "The county of Greene, in the eastern part of the Old North State, is noticed tor tall and large men. There were born and raised in this county six brothers, all now living, whoso combined altitude is thirty-seven feet nine inches, an average of six feet three and a half inches. Their aggregate weight is 1,350 pounds. Col. Kobert W. Best, who occupies a desk in the united States lJenartment ot Ac- riculture, is the oldest and tallest of the six brothers alluded to. i He is six feet six inches tall and weighs two hundred and forty pounds." Kinston items. The old yeai 1883 went out in water. It was cloudy and rainy all day long. The distinguished lawyer and editor of the Snow Hill Teleqram, Wm. V, Munroe, Esq., was visiting Kinston last Monday, professionally. The Lenoir bounty moonshiners are mad and dohant. The next raiders, they say, will be "welcomed with bloody hands to hospital graves. The Bonnie Meyer Combination gave us two entertainments last week and ap peared on the boards again lost Monday night in "Lady Audley 's Secret. " They are quite popular. The Alice Oates Opera Bouffe Com pany appear in Kinston at the Opera House, Jan. 2d and 3d, 1884. Their first appearance will be in "The Corsair." It is a strong ana tull company and draws well wherever they play. Kinston College and Kinston Graded School resumed operations last Monday, having adjourned tho previous week for ChriBtmas holidays. There is nothing that adds more to the life and prosperity of Kinston than these excellent institu tions of learning. The valuable tract of land on Loosen Swamp, Lenoir county, belonging to the estate of Neodham J. Moore, deceased, was sold here by publio auction last Monday. It brought $5,600. The tract contains 550 acres as good as there is in the county. It was bid in by II. II. Moore, Esq., a brother of the deceased, and will remain in the family. The ladies began New Year with a leap year ball at the Opera House last Tuesday night. It was a gay and lively occasion. An old bachelor vows they leaped more sprigntiy, danced more gracefully, dressed more fashionably, shone more brilliantly, palavered more sweetly, painted more artistically, and looked more charmingly than ever in ihoir lives before all for a husband .7 La Grange Items- v. Not enough cotton coming in to give prices. , , , Jefferson Davis returned to Trinity to-day (Monday.) The Kinston Free Press and W. W. N. Hunter, D. S. C. C, were here Satur day. . ; ..'.'. Services at the Methodist Church last Sunday v morning and evening, by the pastor.; Since Christmas business has been unusually dull, it is only the shadow of next summer. A number of - ladies and gentlemen went to see the opera at Gold sboro Fri day night. Disappointment could be seen on their return. ' Many of the students attending our schools, spent the Christmas holidays at home. ' They are now returning and getting down to work again. : ' The Primitive Baptists held a Union meeting at "Old Bear Creek" last Satur day and Sunday. Rev. Mr. Gold, editor of Zion,a Landmark, was present, und preached on Sunday. Capt. Dixon went up to Seven springs and returned Saturday. I learn that on his return the new bridge received a heavy jar from the boat. Spare that bridge Captain, if possible. : A watch-meeting will be held at the Methodist Church here to-night (Mon day). The object of this meeting is to be engaged in the Master's work at the olose of the old year and the beginning of the new. N. J. Rouse, Esq., occupied his office with ir. Hodges, as usual, Saturday. There seems to be a sort of hold up in law matters up here just now, and as the Free Press says, "It's your money or your life. " I guess the Doctor will have to come forward. The Sunday School Christmas tree at the Methodist Church Christmas night, was a handsome one. Many beautiful and valuable gifts were bestowed under the supervision of "Santa Claus." It was a joyful time with the children, and many a young gent selected this as a suitable occasion to present some fair one with a token of his .love,. . . A. J. Mclntyre occupies his new pur chase, the J. D. Walters house; J. II. Aldridge is moving -in Mr. Dillon's Woolard house; W.H. Burke has moved toL. H. Field's house; Mrs. Josephine Hardee returned-from Wilmington Sat urday and will occupy one of J. F. Oliver's new houses, Jesse II. Hardy is moving from town to his plantation near Greene county; James O. Sutton is moving to town and will ocenpy the C. G. Grady house; Jesse R. Moore will move to his plantation in Greene county. To-morrow (Tuesday) is New Year's day, the time, according to old customs, for all to begin the year's work. In stead of being ready, many of our labor ing people have made no arrangements for the incoming year, and thus a part of the time that should be spent at work, will be wasted in getting ready. Much complaint is indulged in by this 'class, and many times they are causes for complaint, about their poor pay, and hard ehances, but any man who use lessly wastes, his time or money may expect hard times and should not blame others for it. Died. . In Jones county, Monday, December 31st, .1883, Mrs. Elizabeth Sutton, of paralysis, ' ab the advanced age of seventy-one years. Mr. H. H. Harris, Warrenton, N. C, says: "i tried Brown's Iron Bitters for weakness and loss of appetite and they proved a success." . Try POTTER'S COUGH DROPS. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is recom mended by physicians of the greatest eminence on both sides of the Atlantic, as the most reliable remedy for colds and coughs, and all pulmonaryj disor ders. It affords prompt relief in every case. No family should ever be without it. . ' Nearly two-thirds of all the tobacco grown on the Golden Tobacco belt of North Carolina goes into the manufac tory, at Durham, of Black well & Co. They buy the pick of the entire section. Hence Blackwell's Durham Long Cut is the best of that tobacco which nature has so peculiarly fitted for man's com fort and enjoyment. The truest type of that favored tobacco section is the Dur ham Long Cut. The Durham Bull is on every package. r HORNER SCHOOL, OXFORD, 3NT. O.
