Howard has been ap pointed Road Master of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad. A good ap pointment, v. lis Maybe it was the occasion, but it seemed to us that the Silver Cornet Band never did better-than on Friday night at the grand rally. : On Friday at 8 o'clock p. m. the ther mometer, in the shade, registered at - Raleigh, 100, at New Berne, 93, and at Morehead City 81. This is sufficient testimony to prove Morehead City a 'summer resort of no ordinary advant- . ages . ,,Wb have received a beautiful picture of the Southern Exposition, which opens ' at Louisville, Ky., Aug. 16th, and con tinues -until Oct. 25th. The view is of the main building, which is one of the largest Exposition buildings ever erect ed. It covers thirteen acres of ground, ' and will be lighted throughout by five thousand electrio lights. The introductory speeches at the Club meeting on Friday night are compli mented on every hand. "That was handsomely done," said Col. J. II. An derson when Mr. Stevenson took his seat after introducing Gov. Jaryis, and "that little speech of Manly 's in intro duclng Vance was the prettiest I have heard for a long time," was said by . several. Cioero Robbins has lost a subscription list Containing a list of tho contributors to the entertainment of the Salamander Fire- Company of Washington, which will arrive here next Wednesday morn ing. He says the subscriptions have all been collected but one or two but he wants the list to enable him to make his report. Any one rinding it will confer a favor by returning it to him. . The Watermelon Crop. We learn that the watermelon crop of Bogue sound has been quite remuner t ative this season, though not so large as .' last year. Mr. Geo. N. Ives, a shipper, has already sent forward 15,000 and will ' ship as. many more in a few days. Bro. N, M. Jurney will make a ship anient as soon as he can decide whether his crop is citrons or watermelons. It is said that he Is quite a success in building fine sailing crafts but for rais ing .watermelons he will have to yield the 'palm to the Bogue sounders for a while longer, i ; .

Pull down the blinds, double lock the front doors; answer no rings of the bell, for this is the season to be off to the springs and fashionable lesorta, and the Jenkinsies must not know that we are home in the city. That is the way the story has been told oh the devotees of fashion whose means had from sud- en shrinkage doomed them to "a sea son at home." But wo now have a ruse that blacks the eye of that feminine strategy. A ruse invented by the sterner sex; which to grab the linen duster and umbrella, push for the train about 6 p. m. ; stand on the platform until the train goes, and then stealthily wend your way back home by unfrequented thoroughfares and on the morrow talk loudly of the line breeze, elegant surf bathing, and sailing, the good faro at the Atlantic, and know more about Morehead than the old Governor ever knew himself and maybe you won't be found out.

R. G. Mallhtt. Seo'ty. Editor Journal: Permit a visitor to express his gratification at what he saw and heard at the "Ratification" on Fri day -night. Firstly and principally what he saw was the courteous atten tion of the members of the Club in seat ing the audience as it came in. Really it made one feel at ease and reminded him of some orderly theatre with its corns of ushers. . ; - The committee, as he learned it was, acquitted themselves with more than credit to the cause they have espoused, the ticket they support ana each indi vidual members thereof, as to the speeches. I snace forbids that be should say more than that they were good, and with offering or thantts to the gentle manly ushers for courtesies received, I will close. . v . visitor. v ' Hanover, O., Feb. 13, 1884. ; After having lung fever and pneumo nia I had a dreadful cough and could not sleep at night. The doctors told me I had consumption and would die, I have taken six bottles of Piso's Cure and myjeoufth is entirely pone, and I am The Academy Green. Editob Journal: Your suggestion in this morning's issue of the Journal as to improving the Academy Green is a good one and I trust will be promptly acted upon as soon as the new school building is completed. I have often re gretted the great lack of interest mani fested by our "city fathers" in improv ing and beautifying our city. New Berne is naturally beautifully located, fronting two fine rivers with a climate and soil well adapted to the cultivation of flowers and trees, it woJd be a com paratively easy matter to make it one of the most chamingfcities in the country. Upon visiting the Northern cities one is struck with the beautiful parks and breathing places which adorn every city and town of any size, and the peo ple of that section are well aware that every dollar expended in this way is well invested. The great Central Park of New York has cost that city many millions, but the cost has been several times returned in the enhanced value of property in the vicinity of the park and the taxes paid into the city s treasury. The same can be said of the beautiful Fairmount Park, of Philadelphia, and Prospect of Brooklyn. Our city is slowly but surely improving. New houses are being built in different parts; old ones painted up and our handsome new court house and school building will add greatly to the beauty of the city. Our fine shell roads are what was much needed and are already the envy of our neighboring cities of the interior who cannot get the shells for this pur pose and cannot afford to pave their streets. Money expended judicially upon the improvement of streets and roads is always a good investment for any city to make. Any one who will walk up to our beautiful cemetery this afternoon can see how easy it is to make - a park and 1 trust our ity officials will put a neat fence around the Academy Green. Keep ttown the weeds, the grass cut closely and we shall all see how nicely the Crreen (which is already well shaded) will look and what an improvement it will he to the city. u. JN. I, La Grange Items. Quite a refreshing shower this, Satur day, morning. ' John Reid is quite sick of billiousness. Mrs. Dr. Hodges has improved sum ciently to be up. Miss Willie Best and Miss Cora M Faircloth, of Goldsboro, are visiting Mrs. K. IS. liizzeli of our town. Rev. Mr. McCullough, of the M. P. Church, was in town Thursday. He left for Oak Grove, Pitt county, Friday morning. T n Taolni. rf tlio Tmimill (1 V M. riAil. rt Maw Rama anr Tlr. W. A. J. Pollock, of Kinston, gave us a short stay inursaay. J. D. Murphy, formerly of our Col legiate Institute, was in town Thursday He returned to Pender county, his home, Dnday. Alex. Dawson, an aged and highly respected citizen of Lenoir Institute township, is dangerously sick. He is not expected to recover. H. E. Dillon, Esq., is contemplating the building of two brick stores not a great while hence. That is right, gen tlemen, use your money in improving the town good buildings it will induce strangers to come and do business among us. Dr. William Whitfield intends to permanently locate in our town Bhortly, We welcome him and wish him success but don't want strangers to take this as evidence of the unhealthiness of this town and vicinity. Our community is as healthy as any in Eastern Carolina. A number of the Democrats of the town , and township met here Friday evening and formed a temporary or ganization of a Cleveland and Scales Club. J. P. Joyner was chosen President, S, I. Sutton Vice-President, E. W. Bizzell Secretary. J. Y. Joyner, J. n. Fields, W.S, TJzzell, S. I. Sutton and Shade Wooten were appointed a committee on constitu tien and by-laws. U. L. Taylor, J. D. waiters, J. T, Wooten, C. W. Joyner and G. A. Pitts were appointed to receive names for membership. K. W. Joyner, Esq., entertained the Ulub with a handsome little speech, in which he exposed the doings of the Re publicans since tho war, and showed the claims of the Democrats upon the peo ple who desire to see the government administered according to the Constitu tion and the Laws. The Club meets Friday, August 8th at 3 o'clock p. m., at which time a constitution and by-laws will be adopted. 1 ' . We hope to see every Democrat in the township enrolled as a member of the Club, and ready work from now until the election in November. WAR! tVAKl WAR I 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 tight, it is or great importance that he should commence at once to lay in his supplies of Groceries and Dry Goods at the Great Cheap Cash Store of HUMPHREY HOWARD 13, that he may give the necessary time to achieve the greatest 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 Siore of HUMPHREY & ISOWABD'S, and buys a supply of Dry Kinston Items. Our Lord Mayor has returned from Seven Springs, fully recuperated and rejuvenated, ue has "wet bis whistle," and law-breakers may well keep both eyes on him. Tho burglars are about, and it would be well for every body to sleep with both eyes open. A few nights ago the grocery store of J. Slaughter & Co. was entered and three barrels of flour taken. About the same time the store of Jew Edwards was tried,' hut the robbers were driven away by the prayers of a preacher and the growls of a pet fox. Our special tobacconist grows in age faster than a patriarch. Last year he was returned on the tax list for w years old. This year the tax list makes him 50. just avoiding the poll tax. If he proceeds at this pace he will reach the age or matnuseiah before he stops sell ing tobacco. Eleven years crowded into one! Who shall say this is not a fast age? Well, Thomas, we hope your figures don't he." A horse, escaping from its owner, al ways "goes west." The great natural ist of Falling Creek, A. D. Parrott, Esq., says this is instinct with the horse, one never having been known to take any other direction. A careful study of this noble animal put the go west idea into the head of the late Horace Greeley. It is quite different, however, with a mule. It always takes the direction of the tail, and this too is the observation and experience of our aforesaid natu ralist. And now the Kinston Free Press wants to muzzle us for fear we may "kerbosh" the Journal and the Democratic party. What a monster he makes of us, and what disinterested love, too, for the Journal. Well, since our truthful re ports cause bo much "wincing" by the Fres Press, perhaps hereafter we shall lie like the devil," and then we will be certain to get from that paper a gen uine, heartfelt, "friendly word." Un til then, of course, we can itemize only by permission of the Jupiter Tonaas of the tree Press. How kind and gracious" The "city fathers" have almost all of them deserted us. Mayor Moses is, however, at his post, contending with the passions and infirmities of human nature; Commissioner Pollock, as usual, is ministering to the ailments and acci dents of the human family; Commis sioner Pridgen has gone to the moun tains for his health; Commissioner Grainger has gone off to make fast to a 'helpmeet," and Commissioner Lottm has gone North to study surface drain age in the city of Brooklyn. The Mayor, however, thinks he can carry this town, if not the world, on his broad shoulders Beaufort Items. From Telephone. The schooner CIieruMm returned to New Berne last week from Philadelphia with a cargo for Goldsboro. Capt. Wm. Sabiston arrived at home on Saturday night last after quite a lengthy absence. The steamer Lydia, of Elizabeth City one of the steamers advertised by Major W. A. Hearne, came on Friday night last and is now plying the waters of this harbor. Flounders are more plentiful than usual this season and in fact at present make up the bulk of the fresh hsh ex posed for sale in our market. ' Miss Lucy Jurney, the sister of the popular preacher, has been spending a short time in Beaufort, where she has many warm friends who rejoice to bid her welcome. The first ripe grapes of the season were brought in on Thursday, 12th inst., by Mr. L. C. Fulcher, of North river. The queerest of all queer fish was sent up to Me. O. N. Ives from Mr, James Guthrie, at the Cape, on Wednes day last. The species has never before been seen in these waters. It measured 5 feet 8 inches in length, had a project ing snout similar to a sword fish, the dorsal fin was more than 12 inches wide and had the appearance of a sail made of black silk. On the under side of the fish were two long prongs, haying the appearance and consistency of whale bone, which, together with the sails or tins, could be folded within the body of the fish, and entirely concealed from view. The fish had no scales, and in shapo and 6olor resembled the mack erel. STATE NEWS. Gleaned from our Exchanges.
