' '(I .-' The engine is named The Little Jack, and will be bought as soon as the neces sary funds accumulate to justify the outlay. ' The company have witton for a "pic ture" of one that they are inform; d can be bought for thirty dollars, but they prefer one to work by steam if it can be obtained at the same cost. Home Enterprise. Among the many home enterprises springing up in this section we take pleasure in commending the Saeli, Door. and Blind Factory of J. Strauss & Co, a; Goldsboro. .The door and window frames of the graded, school building came from there, and they have the contract for furnishing the sash and blinds of the same, also for furnishing the frames -and sash for Capt. Gray's wooden plate factory, and for the brick store being built on South Front street by Capt. J. A. Richardson. These con tracts were given to J. Strauss &Co. after competetive bids were made by manufacturers in Baltimore, New York, Providence and Boston. They have es tablished the fact that good work can be done by "Home Enterprises" and it only needs pluck and energy to push it in order to compete with northern man ufacturers both in quality and in price They should be consulted before send ing an order North. Personal. Mr. Garrett Vyne has just returned from Michigan, where he had been sum moned as a witness in court, and his ap pearance induced one of the parties to the suit to settle without going to trial His witness -ticket, including mileage, amounted to one hundred and twenty dollars. A; few witnesses at that rate would induce many more to settle with out going to trial. Capt. W. T. R. Bell, of King's Moun tain, was in the city yesterday. Miss Devereux, of Baltimore, arrived yesterday on a' visit to her sister, Mrs Mary Bayard Clarke. Chas. H. crowfi, Esq,, of Kenansville was in the city yesterday. i J. L.

Kinston, this week, is puttine on her former gayety find-loveliness. Roanoke Island's, fullest daughter, Miss Minnie Hitneriage is visiting her (ate classmates and schoolmates of Kinston College, We have been requested ' to sav that Rev. Henry Cunningham will preach tne zunerai ot cenj.

When does he become patriotic? , When he writes a letter de claring that he has forever, withdrawn rrom public lite. " - United States Commissioner Perrv. having cleaned up the moonshiners and tne rair sox of Ureensborouarh and vi cinity, is preparing to move his court to our neighboring town, Greenville, and change it to a Court of Cupid. If he wins, he will bring with him the hand somest and prettiest beauty in all ,the uarounas. And now our Lieutenant Mayor has got the Lord Mayor's "tail in a split stick" for taking final jurisdiction of an assault and battery case where deadly weapons were used. The mayor goes to the next Inferior Court to be tried for usurping undelegated power. Oh this wicked worldl How true it is: "What soever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.-' It seems to threaten rain yet, but it is unwise to prophecy in . such a phenome nal year as this. Showere this week have seriously interfered with the har vesting of oats and wheat. Corn and grass are flourishing, "like a green bay tree, " out cotton is getting too much water. Fruits of all kinds have been much benefited by rain; but we'll "let the weather, alone; she knows her busi ness." The following, complimentary notice of a former Kinston boy is taken from the Charlotte Observer. We always thought "Dobbin s" business talent and auburn curls" would push him up in the world, and, we hope, in the next Mr. ueorge L. wadsworth, for a lone time book-keeper for the Charlotte, Co lumbia & Augusta, and the Carolina Central Railroads, in this city, has gone to Statesville to accept a position offered him by the ? Western Worth , Carolina Railroad ; at that - place."' Mr. Wade worth's friends in Charlotte regret "his departure and can assure the people of btatesviue that m him they will rind young man upon whom there can be no discount, attentive to business, prompt and reliable in his transactions. States ville will be pleased with him, and we trust he will be pleased with States- ville." ;. Tbi. Franco-Prussian $(ar-- Colnci t We heard yesterday of a some what singular c6incidence,"itt thich one ot our (ierman citizens is eon nected, which may be of interest, There has been ia this city . foli weefe or two past a- certain French man, Dy the name ot Lebzelton who is agent for a book devoted to art literature. During his pore grinations he met up with Mr. Wm Geriaast, who has been a resident of this city for a number of years, and upon comparing notes it was found that they were engaged on opposite sides in the bnep. but san guinary struggle : known as the Franco-Prussian war: . and not only that, - but they were both' in the same branch of the service, belong ing to what , is known in French as, cirassuers, or heavy cavalry? Awhile Mr. Genaust was on , the .winning side which sustained that celebrated chaTge of Gravelotte, Which occur red August 18th, 187?,' from which tne -trttssiansr under : uen. stem metz came lortn victorious and in which the ; French suffered one of the greatest defeats of the War; In this - charge ' ourV French friend had two horses shot under him and was finally himself shot-in- the foot, which disaoiea mm, Mr. uenanst and Mons.'
