1 0"D VOL, II. NEW BERNE, N. C, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1884 NO. 275 1 KNAL. ) Frames or No Frames. i Editor Journal: This is not a new question among the Fire Underwriters and business men of Ncwbern by any means. Again and again it has come up, been thoroughly discussed, appa- ently settled, and in a short time some violation of the amnesty agreed upon has taken place, and the whole burning controversy has blazed out again.' In the name of common sense let it be set tled one way or another at once and for ever. It is not a matter for excitement and personal crimination. No person's character is at stake in the discussion, and no personal abuse is necessary. It is a question of dollars and cents, of city pride, of commercial reputation, res pectability and influence. And no citi zen who cannot examine the question LOCAL NEWS. Journal Nlnlatnre Almanac. Sun risoB, 6:41 ) Length of day, ; 11 Sun sets, 5:48 1 11 hours, 5 minutes. Moon rises at 1:52 a. ni. '. ,.

He was a gallant member of the famous Washington Battalion of Artillery from Louisiana and with his comrades passed through many a fierce conflict.

Mr. Whitaker has been doing considerable time business, while his customers would have been able, had they not failed to have made a good crop last year, to have carried him through. We were favored three years aeo from the State fisheries or shad hatcheries with some young shad for Trent river, and from present indications we will have a fair run of shad in the Trent this season. Why is it that they gave us some then and have let two years pass without sending any morer We cer tainly are entitled to have our share of them as much so as other parts of the State. Our river has been cleared of the logs and other obstructions as far as Trenton, and the fish can pass up and down the river without any obstructions whatever. Steamers are passing up and down the river on schedule time, two and sometimes three and four times a week, which will prevent anything like neages or drop seines from being placed in the river to prevent the free passage of them from Trenton to the mouth of the river.

Besides, does the actual owner of the building do a wise and profitable thing when he constructs of wood in stead of brick? All experience says, no. The latter costs him a little msre at the outset, but he gets lower rates, he ob tains better rents, he is freed from the necessity of such frequent repairs, he can always command better tenants, and in a few years, while a frame struc ture would be going to decay, or disap pearing in smoke and ashes under the torch of the incendiary, his investment farmers would willingly and gladly bring in specimens of marl, timber and farm products.
