' 1 The duty to organize is now upon us i the utility of organization needs no or . gunient, and there is but one way to meet it,, and that is to organize. We ' are neither an alarmist nor Siren, we " ' would neither arouse the fears of the Democracy on the one hand nor lure 1 them into a fancied security on the '"' other, but tell them , that the coming camoaicn will be one of earnest 'work. . The Republicans always work, 'they are always organized, and .' it. would ' be little less than criminal in tho Democracy of this .section to sit down apd discuss what might to be done, and what might be done, and go to the polls in November a 'disorganized rabble with neither head nor front to lead the column nor a rear guard to bring up the Btragglers; we say but little less than criminal, because they have a first rate ticket, a good plat form and a fair chance of success before them, but only attainable, we believe by well organized and intelligent effort. Individual ideas of what to do, and how to do, should be freely given, but they should be given to an organized ' campaign club. One man may be able to suggest better than execute; another may be better at execution of plans than in devising them', but in a well orga nized club each will find his appropriate sphere and we will say right now there will be work enough for all. TalE is cheap but it takes work to wage a suc cessful campaign. Lets go to the meet i . to-night. ' -: ' ; . ; Too Cool. - Monday night was quite cool and while it rendered sleeping enjoyable, and made the mosquito seek a harbor from the gentle zephyrs yet it was against the excursion which was to come off by the steamer Shenandoah yesterday morning.

In the absence of the green herb, a few drops of the oil of peppermint should be equally efficacious. American Agricul turist. Rev. J. D. Carpenter preached at Hickory Grove last Sum' ay, as previous' ly announced. His sermon was atten tively listened to, and full of edification to Christians and admonitions to non professors. Such discourses are a bless ing to any congregation. His next ap pointment will be announced hereafter. Your iteraizer regrets the loss of an intended serenade last Sunday. The turnout of the serenaders was splendid, and the troupe composed of the best looking young men of the town and vi cinity. The "Judge" appreciates the compliment, and "taking the will for the deed," returns thanks. The Wizard Oil Co. may look to their laurels.

Willio Reid, while asleep about 1 o'clock last Sunday morning, got up and jumped from the second story window of Edwards & Murchison's store to the roof of Burk's bar-room. The distance is about ten feet, and the jar awoke the sleeper. A little assistance from his brother, sleeping m the samo room, brought him back unhurt. This is the first case of somnambulism known in our place, and we would not advise the constant practice of such, as all may not have so harmless a termination. Stonewall Items. Jas. H.

I understand that the members were all present and a large congregation met there also. Mr. Thos. Harrison has had Mr. Friar to protect his dwelling by having him put up some rods to his dwelling. Mr, Friar says that while there he had tho pleasure of seeing Borne as good corn as he has ever seen in this country. E. M Foscue also employed Mr. Friar to put some additional rods to his dwelling, besides having him place on them some nice ornamental works. Business of every kind is dull; mer chants, mechanics, and farmers, too, are all looking forward to the time just ahead when cotton will open, which will put everything in motion. Even the average darkey is peeping ahead wishing that their good time would hasten on so they could get plenty of work and good pay picking cotton. Cotton is king, so they say, and I must say he is king over all who raise him and all who are dependont on the raiser, too. Duplin is still ahead. I see in the last Messenger a correspondent says a Mrs. Williams, of Duplin, has a collard that measures 8 feet across tho top, which beats Mr. Oxley's collard just 2 feet. Can't some of our collard men do a little better than C feet; 2 feet is too bad a beat uupun, i nopo, wm secure ner collard and send it to Raleigh to the exposition. As to our county, it appears that our people have not a sufficiency of public spirit and county pride to take any interest in the exposition, what ever. The Daily Journal has failed to arrive at our office two or three times in three weeks, much to the annoyance of our whole vicinity. You have no idea how disappointed wo all are when it fails to come. On the 9th of July the Journal took a trip somewhere and did not arrive until the Saturday following, which was an annoyance to us all, as every one had a thought on Chicago and was eager to learn who had been nomt nated. It appears that our mails are certainly out of joint some way, for I had a letter mailed to me at Jackson ville last October and never received it until a few days ago, it having taken the whole time of 8 or 9 months to travel about 35 miles. We hope every voter in Trenton town ship, who desires the success of good government, will meet at Trenton on Saturday, the 20th of July, for tho pur pose of organizing and forming a Cleve land and Scales Club. We desire a full attendance of the Democratic voters, as we wish to consult with them as to the best plan of action to be pursued in the township during tho canqiaign. Let us all meet and understand each other and consult together and have tho township thoroughly organized, so we can at a short warning meet tho enemy and check him in his every move. Remem her if we have proper concert of action we can the more easily carry out our points. Let us show the enemies of our good party that we are ready to meet them, not ouly ready, but prepared to meet them, and let us not leave any thing undone that is honorable to secure the election of the whole ticket.
