We were pleased to meet in our sanctum yesterday Mr. H. B. Hardy, of the Wilson Advance. He was on busi ness in the city for the Kinston Free Presa, which is now printed on a new power press and greatly improved in make up and appearance. Bro. Daniels is in the midst of an enterpris ing people and be is keeping abreast of the times in his line of business. What a Hotel Will Do. We asked, our nionied men, and those who are largely interested in the growth and prosperity of New Berne to read what has been written to the editor of the Wilmington Star. We not only want them to read it but, as a matter of business, investigate the advisability of building a hotel here with all modern appliances, one calculated to draw a portion of the Florida travel: "Since my pleasant visit to your sanctum I have seen many tourists, invalids, etc., who know your city only in name, although they pass oyer your lines of railways both coming ana go ing to the ".Land of r lowers," Out never stop. Why r We can answer correctly for all. (simply because you nave not such a hotel as your population and lo cation demand. .The hotels you nave mav be well kept, with rooms as com fortable as can be had in tbe crowded part of the city; but what the people of Wilmington want is a nice,- roomy, airy hotel, with all modern appliances, to make every one comfortable and feel at home. Can vou not start the boom be fore the next season and make a hotel in Wilmincton that will come up to if not excel the Hvcera at Old Point Com fort? I am anxious for North Carolina to get ' something out of the immense travel to H lorida. " , County Commissioners. ; . Editor . Journal: We heartily ap prove of the suggestions made in your issue of Tuesday as regards the best course to be . pursued by the county magistrates, in the ensuing election of Board of county commissioners. We say, that if there is any change to be made in the present Board, remove all or remove none; do not make nsn 01 one, and flesh of another'. These gen tlemen are good and efficient men, they have done their duty, and why not re turn them ? We cannot afford to quarrel among ourselves; the Demo cratic party is sorely pressed, and we are very sorry to say . that the love of office and pojitical power it entirely too strong among some few of our promi nent Democrats; it overrides every other consideration in life. This ought not beo, bur people should be united. This is a great county, and in political importance, one of the: leading counties of the State; and we entreat the magis trates at the coming election tQ put their seal of condemnation upon alL political trickery, and not to present to the view of the State; a disrupted Democratic party in Craven county. ; , ; r. u .: ,,u, ' r.

LETTER FROM C1IAPEL HILL. University Athletic Amoclatlon The second meeting of the University Athletic Association occurred ;at the University grounds on Friday, April lsth. The decided success with which its first meeting was crowned, served to attiact quite a large and interesting crowd of gentlemen and ladies from the village and from abroad. The Associa tion is something of a novelty in college life. It was gotten up for the benefit of the students en masse, and not to offer the privilege of outdoor exercise to the few simply for the purpose of making here and there a bodily athlete; and leaving the many to starve their bodies, with a consequent decay of brain capabilities. i For years there has been a crying need for more and better exercise among the students of the University. The sturdy sons of Carolina, and of the south, come to our classic balls; come to store up the mind with the treasures of invaluable lore which is to be found amid the hnarv HhndeR of our modern Athens: but their intellectual calibre has, it cannot be- reasonably doubted, ueen greauy lesseneu ana weaKeneu 03 me wuut 01 a siruiiKiy-ueveiopea uiiyhi- cal life.
