Moses Anderson, who h is just finished a term of eighteen months im prisonment in the penitentiary, re turned to his fold last week. He says he wa3 sufficiently reformed to preach bis way home. One of those things for which nobody has ever advanced a satisfactoiy reason is why the ugliest man at a theatre in variably selects a front seat, and is con tinually turning his face around so that everybody can see it. Woman is so built that she oau but seldom throw straight. Providence, it is truly said, orders everything for the best, and after a husband has seen one tin cup sail harmlessly by his had he can run before she snatches up auother. The young ladies of Kinston are ex periencing great solicitude as to Kins- ton's banker's fao totum.

'Boys can you tell me aDytliinj re markable in the life of Moses V" ubked a Sabbath School teacher last Sunday. "Yes, sir," shouted one of the boys, "he broke all the commandments at once." This boy, however, did not refer to the Mayor of Kinston. Our civil engineers, lawyers, Buffalo Bill, "Levi, the centurion, "and a great multitude of ragtags and bobtaila were measuring, with level and compa s, the town last Monday, endeavoring to find the "dead level" of Kinston. They are trying to demonstrate to our Mayor that water never flows up hill. It is getting to be the custom of the Kinston boys to close each week with a display ot muscle and pluck. A. Mitch ell, Esq., and A. Fields, Esc.., furnished the fun last Saturday evening, while a sympathetic undertaker would J set era up as fast as they fell. It is our experience, however, that the town mule is the only gainer by such amuse ment. Jones County Items. Sent to' Jratl. ' " , James Spicer, a colored youth of about sixteen, was before Justice Wat son on Tuesday, charged with entering the house ot Mr, B. Swert on Sunday morning while the family were at church ahd taking therefrom ten dollars in .'money. ; He pleaded guilty to the charge, and in 'default of bail, was sent ship. The town commissioners of Trenton are using lime pretty freely and have improved the , looks of the place by whitewashing the trees. Mr. George T. Coble is feasting on watermelons, having had them full grown and ripe during the last week. Mr. Coble is a successful farmer and one of Trenton's most worthy citizens. Mr. C. C. Green is having some nice ripe and delicious cantelopes, Mr. Joseph A. Smith's little son Joseph, aged about two years, died on Thursday morning, June 27th, of ma larial fever. The citizens of our whole community deeply sympathize with the grief-stricken parents in the loss of their darling boy. Mr. L. A. Haywood, one of Cypress creek's most successful and enterpris ing farmers, piesented last week Mr. T. J. Whitaker a cabbage of his own rais ing that weighed 10J pounds. Mr. Whitaker says that it certainly was a fine one, nicely headed and perfectly sound. Corn is selling at Trenton at one dol lar per bushel and in demand, eggs 8 cts. per dozen, honey 65 cts. per gallon, beeswax 25 cts.' per pound, chickens, grown, 50 cts. per pair, spring, 20 and 30 cts. per pair. The citizens of Trenton, and in fact all of the citizens who reside on the south side of the Trent have had an unusual amount of severe sickness this season, while the citizens that reside on the north side have been enjoying very good health nearly the whole time. The people with us are more than pleased with our Democratio State ticket. Every Democrat we hear speak of it says, what an able and strong ticket, the very one we needed to sweep the state. We have been suffering a little for rain around Trenton for sometime, but on Wednesday last we were visited by one that thoroughly revived the crops of every kitid. We have had but very little rain during the month of June in the vicinity of Trenton. r There appears to be an organized band of hen house thieves in our town- Is early every family has suffered the farmers have been threshing their grain and report a fair yield. Alex. McDaniel, the champion fisher man of Jones county, is supplying the citizens of Trenton and vicinity with an enormous quantity of pice perch. Mr. L. M. Pollock sold for him at Trenton on Saturday last between ten and fifteen large bunches at 25 cts. per bunch, which Alex, had caught a hook and line in the river a short distance below Tren ton. They were in good condition and had the appearance of having been just caught. Hi - II .,, ! Beston Items. Corn is scarce and finds ready sale at 5 per bbl. Mr. John S. Herring has a field of the finest cotton that we have seen. Mr. A. B. Thompson is quite sick at his home in New Hope township. ihere will be a bunday-school picnic at nxd Swamp about the 1st of August. Miss Annie Crawford, of Ooldsboro, is visiting her sister, Mrs. J.M.Wood, near Beston. " - A heavy rain storm passed over this section last Friday, doing considereble damage ta crops. r Rev. J. F. Hill, of the Free Will Der suasion, preached to a large crowd at tiood swamp last Sunday. sheriff Urantham was down a few days ago looking after some parties that failed to list their taxes last year. Mrs. Sallie Smith has in course of erection a dwelling which when com pleted will be an ornament to Saulston, Mr. Jesse Yelverton died last Sundav He was in the employ of Mr. A. B. Thompson, and was considered a very trusty person. Mr. Giles Newson, of Green county. had his country store and stock of goods burned one night last week. Loss $1,500; insured for $1,000.. Supposed incendiary. Mr. Council Best is tfce champion shin gle maker of this section. He has al ready marketed over 60,000 since Janu ary. He does his work by hand and has no one to help him. No weddings this week, but judging from the way that some of our neigh bors are buying fine horses and buggies, one would think that there is a chance to get some dream cake. Seasons are good and cotton is looking better. Corn is good. Rice is sorry on account of bad stand. Gardens are nice vegetables are plentiful. Wheat threshing is the order of the day. M. W. Uzzell has purchased of D. M. Stanton, of La Grange, a Deere Culti vator, and is highlv pleased with it. Abram Uzzell, a colored man, has also bought one and says that he is independ ent to these sorry negroes that are strolling around now, as he can take the cultivator, with one hand and two mules and do the work of four hands and four mules, thereby saving the labor of three hands and two mules. Wish we had more like old man Abe, Seven Springs Items. According to our weak and benighted way of thinking, our farmers are having more rain than is necessary. Miss Lola Davis, who is just home from Peace Institute, was in attendance at the ball on Friday night. Henry Spence will take charge of the mail route from this place to La Grange on July 1st. He will carry the mails, passengers, etc. Our young friend, Jessie Broadhurst, is just home from school and was also one of the electric lights that attended the ball on Friday evening. Mr. Wm. Barnes and lady left the hotel on Monday considerably improved in health. They will spend a few weeks in the mountains before returning home. The boat race came off according to appointment on Saturday. At a signal agreed upon from the bridge the con testants started from a point naif a mile up the river. Chandler ran in ahead of Marten about two boat-lengths, winning the prize of $5.00. A large crowd wit nessed the contest from the bridge. Miss Lou H. Frayser, whose home is near Point Caswell, in Pender county, has just made a successful canvass for her new book Then and Mow, We have juBt examined the work and find it written in chaste and excellent language The story or romance is complete and leaves nothing to be inferred as is the case with many authors. The excellent lessons that it inculcates can but im press the young mind favorably and will greatly benefit the rising genera tion. As a southern authoress, we hope Miss F. may continue to meet with the success her work so richly deserves. Office Secretary & Treuurer Board Trustees Hew Berne Academy.

Some of1 Too much rain makes too much grass, "Jack" Slaughter and "Doc" Hadley, from Ooldsboro, visited our town Sat urday evening. They returned Mon day morning.. This season has been the most un favorable for threshing wheat for many, But few have threshed dry wheat, and many crops are still in the field. The yield is not extra. Crops on the railroad from here to Morohead City are in tolerable con dition. - The season has been unfavor able on some lands, and of course this is observable everywhere. Some grass in places, as is always the case. The seasons have been fayorable for clean ing orops until recently, but should wet weather continue those who have grass now may expect to keep it. In reply to the denial of A. J. Sutton to "erroneous statement" in my items sometime ago, I ask in what particular was the statement incorrect. He had never seen Florida, and knew nothing but what he had heard, and the most of this was oertainly "fancy painting. "- If this did not cause him to go to the "Land of Flowers" then he must have made a leap in the dark, which I hope he will not claim that any sensible man would do. Many young men equally as competent to judge of the goodliness of that "goodlier land" as Mr. Sutton have been there, some to make it their home, others to satisfy themselves as to those "fancy paintings" and returned some of them almost disgusted with the land and the paintings. But these saw for themselves using their own glasses, As to making more "on a given amount of capital and labor," is simply a sneeze at some one else's pinch oi snuff, but few sensible people believe it. Many of the readers or the journal Know the relationship existing between A. Sutton and myself, and I will here say that all the pleasures due to that rela tionship haye. been fully eh joyed by us until his recent visit to North Carolina and for anything arising then or since do not blame him. I hope that I'll not have occasion to reier to this again having said nothing but what I have good reasons to believe is true. , Excursion Postponed. Owing to unavoidable, circumstances I have been compelled to postpone the excursion down Neuse and into Pamlico sound which was to have been run on July 4th, until Tuesday, July 8th, '84.

Commercial and Financial Chronicle. New Y okk, June 27. The move ment of the crop, as indicated by our telegrams from the South to night, is given below. lor the week ending this evening (Juno 27) the total receipts have reached ,642 bales, against 4,725 bales last week, 8,409 bales the previous week and 12,584 bales threo weeks since making the total receipts since September 1st, 1883, 4,782,641 bales, against o,893,048 bales for the same period of '82 '83, showing a decrease since Sept. 1, 1883, of ,110,407 bales.

DO NOT MISS A RICH and RARE TREAT The nnw and elegant side-wheel Steamer SHENANDOAH will leave her wharf at NINE, A.M., Tuesday, July 8th, 1884, for a trip down Neuse River and into Pamlico Sound, wherea wealth of pure salt air can be inhaled without extra expense. Light-houses will be shown, surround ed by water, upon which vegetables and in fact all edibles upon which the keep ers ana tneir lamines subsist, are raised, without the assistance of earth, fertilizers or any otrer properties com monly used in producing veget -tion. A string band will be in attendance to turmsh music for all interested in the Terpsichorean art. The steamer is large, and all can enjoy themselves as it may suit tneir lancy. Refreshments will be served by that prince of caterers, Cpt. Thomas M. Southgate, and to those who have trav eled with him (and their name is Legion) it is unnecessary to explain. To those who have not it is only necessary to say uau on tnose who have. Remember you cannot get tired, and those who start tired will return re freshed and rested. If there is anything needed to make this the event of the season that has not been herein described, come along and you will hnd that too. The steamer will return to her wharf at B p.m., thus mak:ug six hours rest and rex.eshmert on a beautiful sheet of water with good timbers under you. Fare for the round trip, 50 cents. Children under twelve and over four, 2a cents. jy2 E. B. ROBERTS, Agent. Job Work.
