A Journal reporter interviewed Dr . M. H. Peterson, of Aurora, Beaufort - C6. yesterday. The Doctor reports - seasons very favorable to corn and cot ton. Just enough rain not too much, ' not too little. He reports, also, increased interest in school matters; says the old "pod-auger" system is giviag way to the new methods. Beaufort county has great possibilities before her and will be among the fore most counties yet. On the Search. - A -Kinston: bachelor, who attended the Teachers' Chatauqua, at Waynes ville, was promoted by tho newspapers to ba one of the pedagogio fraternity. On the strength of this, he attended the University Normal School and tried - to- getf admission on the girls 's sido of the chapel. Failing in this, he tried to , persuade pne . of the lady teachers that r she was Injuring her mind by too close application to study and . that the best cure for this was a seat under the shade of a mighty oak in the campus by his side. This resulting in failure, he has Hed to Morehead to drown his sorrows in the maaea of the german. Personal. " George ; Henderson, Esq., returned from a trip to New York yesterday. : Mr. Jacob F. Parrott, of Kinston, was in the city yesterday. We see the'papers put him down as a teacher at the Chatauqua" recently held at Waynes- ville.. . , , - Mr. J. C Wooten, of Lenoir, is in the city.''' Rev. James M. Watson, Messrs. Sam iiel M. Mann and R.D. Farrow, of Hyde county, .arrived on the Elm City on -. Wednesday night and left for Toisnot -via A. & N.' C. Railroad to attend the .

Boomer, of Hyde county which is about the largest yet. This .J one measures 35 'inches in circumfer - ance, and that with 811 the outer leaves taken off. V- 5.'. We" must, at the risk, of becoming Wearisome,' again, urge upon the good poople of that county the importance of having specimens of their "products on - exhibition at the Exposition at Raleigh this fall, . The county has a-wide spread reputation'for its corn production, but we are sure that the' excellent quality or other products are comparatively unknown to the people of the State The "Skeet"'apple, known to be one of the best grown in' the State; in fact among the best, for winter use, grown - in any State, sh,ouldi be by all. means on exhibition, and many other articles of 't'j f" ""in id garden." ,y ; . The Mecklenburg Celebration. We have received a neat pamphlet containing the oration of Senator Geo. n. renuieton, ot Utuo, delivered at Charlotte, N. C, at the 109th anniver sary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, May 20th, 1884, published by the committee. It is a chaste oration with historic facts neatly grouped to .it.. i i geuieranu snow ns a rapidly passing panorama before tho audience. In his peroration ho says; "Men of Mecklen burg! Out of this city went an influ- nce which in the end established in dependence and created uniou. Shall there go out from here that ten-fold greater influence necessary to preserve both? The greater trial is before you the dan:er comes from corrunlion. from luxury wasteful ways, from greed of gain which wasteful ways make inevitable." I do not doubt your virlure will be equal to this trial also; but it must be by living in the historic light of your great ancestors; by remembering that men, living men, high soulod men, hon est, upright, virtuous, liberty loving men aro the only foundation of free States, that the first duty of every thoughtful man is, not to carve out in stitutions of government, but to lead his fellow citizens, by the supreme cul tivation of civic virture, to be worthy of the beat institutions." 4 Committees Appointed. Editor Journal: According to the provisions of the by-laws of the Cleve land and Scales Central Club of Craven county, adopted July 23, 1884, 1 have, with the kind assistance of the Vice- Presidents of the Club, appointed the following standing committees.' As tho Club mar not meet again for executive business in the course of the uext few weeks, allow me this effectual method, of yonr columns, to make the appointments known to those selected to fill the various positions assigned.

The State Exposition. Editor Journal: The time for the opening of the State Exposition, ia Oc tober next, at Raleigh, is xanidlv an- proaohing, and as the citizens of the counties of Craven, Jones and Carteret have determined to have their counties icpxcuauLcu, uibiiuugu vuo uuumy au thorities of those counties have felt either unable or unwilling to assist in the matter. The people have taken the matter in hand, and intend, by private and individual contributions and exer tions, to make it a success. They in tend to show the people of this State our resources, and to convince them that the sneer "lazy east" does not apply to us. ivery time that uraven has hither to competed with the rest of the State, she has either borne off the prize or been among the first of the competitors. Siich wm be the. case in the approaching saturnalia with prudent management. ana proper exertion. Our motto is "Try us, prove us, disprove us if you can,' ana we nope to enter the contest in generous rivalry our battle cry being the motto or our graded school Falmam aux meruit, ferat, (let him who merits it receive the prize), - But what are we doingi" The gentle men who have laid their hands to the plow have a great deal to do, and not too much time to do it. I feel confident that the public at large will help if they can oniy do inrormea now they can as sist. Contributing money will help. but that is not the only way to aid and assist. ' Mr. Ives, in behalf of the Fish Com mission, has shown a commendable zeal and. energy in having prepored, in ex cellent style, a large number of speci mens of our fish; and Mr. Clarke and Mrs.. Morgan have in addition quite a collection of taxidernjjo specimens of Diras, ammais, ana leptuea, as well as ashes. - ' v. That it may be known what "we have. and that additions may be made to them, I suggest to the committee to rent a convenient room say tho store, lately occupied by Mr, Pragg, at the corner of Pollok and Craven streets secure the services of a proper person to take charge of the collection, and place the articles now On hand upon exhibition, that it may be seen what we have, and what we need, me expense involved may do readily met by placing a contribution box in the room where visitors may de' posit a coin if they feel so disposed. In my next I Bhall propose a plan by which the people from this section may cheaply and comfortably visit the Ex position and stay; a reasonable time without ft large expenditure of money. ; --v ;' H. Bosser.. New Berne. July 24, 1884. t Some Impressions Made on a Stranger. X.DITOR Journal: Being some time in yonr city on business, I have taken advantage of some leisure hours to visit some points of interest. THE NEW BERNE ACADEMY. Feeling very great interest in the edu cational prosperity of our section of the btate, 1 have visited this institution sev' eral limes. Although the roof is not yet up, still the first view strikes the obsoryer most favorably. Its propor tions are so nearly perfect that it is im possible to guess at the dimensions. Its extreme neatness displays most excel lent taste in somebody. There is a de lightful want of any extraordinary ef fort at architectural display. Although the portico or porch is yet to be built. still we can safely predict that it will not detract from the present dignified appearance. The internal arrangements are pecn liarly well fitted for school purposes. The wide hallways, the many windows the eliding doors, the ventilators, the furnaces, the deadened hoars, the hat and cloak rooms, all indicate that care ful attention to details so essential fc the comfort of pupils. JNew Berneans certainly ought ta be proud of this beautiful building. BREEZES. Your up-country visitor has enjoyed the refreshing breezes which blow al most constantly over your city, and which temper the heat most delightfully. IN o where else do we know of a place where you can get a pleasant sail and a glorious bath for only fen cents. Mine host of the Uaston House Jcnows well how to entertain his guests; and to his kind attention we owe the de lights of a pleasant room and most wholesome meals. Schoolman. New Berne, July 24th. Miss Mollie Heath, of New Berne, 'is visiting relatives at this place. California ostrich eggs bring $1200 a dozen. Pink Hill will boast of a dozen or two after Anthony Davis, Esq., reads this item. Einstein is getting in the brick and other material, fot the erection of his residence and brick building adjoining his present commodious brick Btore. Miss Johnnie Kornegay, daughter of J. M. Kornegay, of this county, recently from St. Mary s school, Kaleigh, is vis iting her sister, Mrs. A. v. Parrott, at Kinston. Hugh Humphrey, Esq., Deputy Inter nal Revenue Collector of the Fourth District, will be at Kinston, August 5, to take fruit distillers' bonds. '"Be ye ready." The New Berne Brass Band can toot their horns quite artistically, but they cannt begin to make music equal to the Kiuston Band. This was fairly tested last Tuesday. These cool nights and warm days are accounted for by the absence of the Lord Mayor, who, for recreation, is at tending the Springs. He makes it hot, at all times, wherever he is. Capt. E. R. Page, Mayor of Trenton, was in town last Tuesday, "wetting his whistle" occasionally with his friends. Our Mayor keeps his whistle wet at all times, especially "early and often" soon in the morning. Judge Waters, of the Falling Creek Judicial District, is as successful as a farmer as he is as a jurist. He has five acres in watermelons, large, sweet and tempting as any of the beautiful girls within bis jurisdiction. For the edification of all courting characters, this may be said about pop ping the question, it is strictly a mas culine institution, though it involves the presence ox a woman. If a man popped all alone and no woman to catch on to his pop, he'd be a blamed fool for his trouble. Men have been known to pop at all times and in a variety of places, but those who have been there say that a good solid pop over a garden gate lays over any other sort of a pop and is me poppiest kind of a pop. All women like to bear a man pop his poppiest, ana have been known to get mad if the pop was a weak, sickly kind of a pop, with out style or self-respect or force of char acter. Men get off the best kind of a pop when they have both of their girl's hands in their own or naye one oi their arms around her waist. This action gives tone and force to the pop helps to hold a fellow up while making it. Some fellows take naturally to popping and are going off all the time. To others it is a painful and laborious pro ceeding, only to be attempted once in a life time and then only as small a pop as they can possibly get away w ith. When a fellow's pop is acceptable to a girl, it instantly involves a kiss. When it is not acceptable kissing is not involved. When a fellow pops, he always pops at his best girl. No fellow ever pops at his second or third best girl. There is no exception to this rule. Popping is a very ancient and honorable institution and the girls like it. A girl who has never heard a pep never confesses as much. She invents a pop, so that the other girls cannot get the dead wood on her. We believe in popping, having experimented in that direction. WAR! WAR! WAR! The greatest political war perhaps for the last century is now about to open, and that every Cleveland or Blaine man may take an active part in this great political fight, it is of great importance that he should commence at once to lay in his supplies of Uroccnes and Dry Goods at the Great Cheap Cash Store of HUMPHREY S HOW ABUTS, that he may give the necessary time to achieve the groatest victory ever gained in these United States. The war has actually begun from the Presidential Chair down to the lowest county offices. Some may cry peace, peace, but there '.will be no peace until every man shoulders his pocket-book and goes down to the Great Cheap Cash Store of HUMPHREY & HOWAKOS, and buys a supply ot ury Goods, Groceries, Boots and Shoes, etc. Sold at the lowest living prices, d w Job Work.

The annual report of the Northern Spinners' Association has iust been made public. It states that the cotton trade has not been pros perous during the past year. It draws attention to the competition offered by the erowing spinning industry iu India, and declares that this competition is be coming serious.
