" . .... We learn that : the committee that went down on Friday to examine the A. & N. C. Railroad between this city and Morehea 1 City - found it in much better condition than they expected All the cross ties that the section mas ters need have been furnished, and by laying a mile or two of new steel suf ficient iron can be had to put the road in fair running order by the time the summer travel ssts in. This is the right thing to do no matter who is managing the road or what the policy of the Gov ernor may be in regard to leasing. Every 'man in thi-i community and along the line of the road should encourage and try to increase the traffic and travel on this road. Instead of a few hundred visitors at Morehead City and Beaufort during the summer there should be thousands, and one of the first steps in securing them is to make them feel safe in traveling to and from, and at cheap rates. - Th. Proposed Sound Railroad. We learn that the officials of the pro- posed Wilmington, Wrightsville & On- slow Railroad have recently been en gaged in securing a new transfer of their road, there having been some de feet in the former one. The work of canvassing for stock will now commence in earnest. : President Chester will set the ball in motion in Baltimore, and G, W. Price, another official, will also start out. - They have very encouraging assurances of aid from prominent col ored men in Washington, Baltimore and elsewhere. Wu. Star. We clip the above that the business men of New Berne may keep posted on the movements of Wilmington to cap ture more of the Onslow trade. The farmers in the Richlands section are compelled now to haul produce from twenty to forty miles or ship by sail boat to Wilmington. The Neuse & Trent River Steamboat Company ought to reach them in time to transport this year's crop to this city, . " The Cyclone Sufferers. New Berne, Feb. 28d, '84 Editor Journal: The distress of our fellow citizens of North Carolina, caused by the recent unprecedented storm calls for our sympathy; , and should receive at once our assistance. Let our human ity move our hearts to prompt action and our hands' to generous aid, not waiting for the appeals of the afflicted Call upon our citizens in mass, and our churches and societies, ana upon indi viduals to contribute immediately, ' My offering is ready. When shall New Berne send her gut to Buttering human ity? Let it be next Monday, and have the offering worthy of present citiliza- tion and big hearted love. CITIZEN. The above is from one of our most generous hearted citizens and we en dorse his suggestion to send assistance at once. Why wait until an appeal is made directly to us? ' We learn from the Wilmington Star and ; News and Observer that those who have lost their homes are mostly poor people and should have immediate help. The tales of suffering, death and destruction of property (continue to be reported and they grow worse. Can our churches do a better service to day than . to take up a collection for these sufferers? This horrible visitation has in it the elements of testing pur faith and obe dience to Him who when he sits upon the throneof his glory will say, "Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." We would suggest that contributions be handed to our worthy Mavor, who will see them promptly forwarded. Dr. E. II. Babbitt. Hickory, N. C. says: "Brown's Iron Bitters give great satisfaction.." From Kenausville. A special term of the Superior court of Duplin county was in session last week, Judge Shepherd presiding with hia ac cuBtomed dignity and firmness, dis patching business in the shortest pos- sible way to give justice to clients. large audience at the court bouse on Tuesday night. His usual custom is to examine two heads free at each lecture, on that night he departed from this and proposed to examine the heads of all the newspaper' representatives present and inform the audience what was in them. Capt. Carraway, of the News and Observer, Johnson, of the Messenger, Taylor of the Journal, Hardy, of the Advance, and Andrews, of the Free Press, presented themselves, with heads bared, for" the examination. The first in srder was to measure the heads, and in doing so the Doctor found that the majority of them were one inch larger than the average head, and came to the conclusion that it was a big headed set, or a set of big heads. He then gave a description of the heads, character and disposition of each one and finally concluded that they were a splendid set of level headed fel lows, and ' all were representing good newspapers, that the readers had the opportunity of selecting one or more of different kinds and from , almost any section of the State from the centre to the sea. When the Doctor had concluded he called on Mr. Hardy of the' .Advance for some music on his celebrated Harmonica which he did to the pleasure and de light of the entire audience, and by the way it is really astonishing to see how much music caa be produced from so small an instrument, but Mr. Hardy is master of the instrument and is a fine performer. Capt. -W. W. Carraway concluded the programme of the evening by informing his customers that himself and brother canvac sers would be sure to be here on the ground to-morrow. Obituary. From the Christian Advocate. Iu this city, January 20th, 1884, brother James Hancock, in the 75th year of his age. He was an affectionate and kind husband, a tender and loving father, a good neighbor, a good citizen, and a devoted Christian. He professed religion in early manhood and joined the Baptist Church. In 1856 he severed his connection with that denomination, and joined the M. E. Church South and a consistent member till called to his "better home above." Brother Hancock was called to pass through many afflictions, haviDg been bereaved of seven out of ten children, some in childhood, and some in mature years. One noble by gave his young life in defense of his country. He fell in the battle of Gain's farm, near Rich mond, Va., when 21 years and 23 days old. His body was left on the "field of blood." Brother H. bore this, with all other afflictions, with Christian forti tude. By the grace of God, he was able to say: "Thy will, oh, God, be done." During the last few years he suffered great bodily affliction. In addition to shattered lungs and partially palsied limbs, he lost his voice. He was fully aware of the approach of death, but tho "grim monster" had noterrorsfor him. Trusting in Christ, all was well, and he peacefully closed his eyes in death, and passed in triumph to the home of the good. May his bereaved wife and children live as he lived, "the life of faith." and meet him where there is no death. 'O I how sweet will it be, in thatboauti ful land, So free from all sorrow and pain, With songs on our lips and harps in our hands, To meet one another ogain." A Friend, New Berne, N. C, Feb, 7th. 1884. La Grange Items- B. D. Ford, the engraver, was here last Thursday. Some of our townspeople visited the entertainment at Goldsboro Tuursday night. They pronounce it a "first-class humbug." Capt. Davis has added another iu structor to his corps of teachers. Dr. A. C. Davis, sr., is now regularly em' ployed in the institution. We welcome, with gladness, the Kinston Items again to the Journal, and the more bo, because it is evidence of the improved health of our CO' laborer. -v-. - )--:-- ''':; 'The professors and boys at the Colle giate Institute were out one evening this week in full uniform. The suits are very pretty and the wearers make quite an imposing appearance. Rev. J. D. Carpenter, the zealous and esteemed pastor of the M. E. Church here, is conducting a series of meetings at the Methodist church iu this place, Up to this time no accessions have been - made. Hoke Wootona young gentleman from Craven, and formerly a citizen of this place, passed here yesterday on his way to Honda.

Eight or ten new pupils have entered during tho past week. , Capt. Gabriel, of the Eunity R. Dyer, made the run to Charleston, S. C, in' twenty-four hours, arriving there on Saturday morning lost. ' Mr. Geo. N. Ives, on Monday last re ceived an order for oysters from Nor folk, Va., and the order was for the bent. Norfolk's people are finding out' where the good things of life can be obtained. The Register of Deeds exhibited to us tho other day an original grant from Lord Carteret for a tract of land on the east side of North river, this county, to James Davis, dated June, 1718. It is a venerable looking document, and al though written on parchment, it has been ineffaceably punctured by the tooth of time. Among the oyster bed entries made during the pat week, we notice that Mr. ' Joseph Lupton has entered ten acres in the whaler's camp slough, a southeast course from Camps' Ham mock, and Mr. W. O. Lupton, 10 acres in oyster creek, between what is known as ditch marsh and whaler's camp marsh. We presume both will be sur veyed, staked out and planted in a short time. Mr. J. K. Willis, proprietor of the Eastern Carolina Monumental Works at New Berne, is in town, and the Ann street Cemetery is receiving additional attractions at his hands. A neat and substantial iron fence, supported by marble posts, is being erected around the graves of the late Mr. Jennings Pigott and family and a handsome tomb stone has been placed over the grave of his wife. Mr. Willis does his work well, and in price, style and quality can dis count much of the work imported from the North. We advise all who desire work in his line to see or correspond with him. at Once, for aside from the ad vantage to be gained from the patronage of home industry, you can secure work from a responsible party, who guaran tees satisfaction and will personally su perintend the erection of the work. THE LATEST NEWS. The Cyclone. News and Observer. Wadesboro, Feb. 21, 1884. Every few hours brings more niws of the destruction of property and loss of life by the storm. The cyclone either divided before it reached the North Carolina line, or we had two traveling in almost parallel lines. One passed through Darlington, S. C, and crossed Pee Dee river, in the lower part of this county, and then went on to Rockingham , where it did great damage. A private letter from there says fifty persons were killed and wounded in Richmond county. The other cyclone passed west of this place, crossing the Carolina Central road about half a mile east of Polkton, arid crossed the river up near the Montgomery line. This one passed right through the county and de stroyed every living thing in its path. So far I have heard positively of the death of only six persons iu Anson. DEATH AND DEVASTATION IN RICHMOND. The Rockingham Rockot says the storm began about 9 o'clock and lasted about two hours, and during that brief space about forty houses were leveled with the ground and some 20 souls hur ried to eternity, A small village of col ored people, of about au houses, was destroyed, and 10 persons killed out right and several wounded. . The track of the cyclone was about 150 or 200 yards wide, and went iu a northeasterly direction. The most graphio description that caa be given you will give you but a faint idea of the devastation this severe storm has left in its hurried passage. A meeting has been held in Raleigh for the relief of the cyclone sufferers One hundred and sixty-six dollars were raised at the meeting. Reports from the flooded districts on the Ohio river are to the effect that the river is falling and the supplies of food received are abundant. Job Work.
