MftKS. I . ,0 . :- v' "Mrsi Qeorke W.'Nason, of Franklin nearly 00 years of age, whose husband died in 1863, had the pleasure yesterday of seeing all of her children -six sons- together, it being "the first time they . have thus been able to meet during the past thirty-four years. Four generations were present and several photographic views were, made oi tne group. - . ; We frequently " hear of young men who have left North Carolina" being honored by the communities in which they live, atd now 'Ve hear lhat a son pf Mr. Charles Toler, of this county, ,V, D. Toler, who emigrated to St. Elmo, Mobile county J Alabama, in 1868, has been elected ft member of the Legisla ture of that State by a Jarge majority. We do not mention this, however, as an inducement for onfg men to leave Vvl hon The danker Brldg. Road. Dr. Chas.- Duffy, sr., called to Bee us yesterday and we had a pleasant con versation concerning the Quaker Bridge Road. The Doctor will soon be seventy-six years old; has spent fifty years of his life in Onslow county, and lids fair to be among the living there for several years yet. Ho was among the first to drive a buggy over' the new road and we desire to give to the publio his opin ion of it: "What do you think of the road, Doctor'!"' Well sir, the Onslow side is a fine road, but the Jones county side is a scandalous piece of work. Capt. Mclver has made a nice job of his end of tho road, and if the Jones county end was finishod up as it ought to be it would be the finest road in the State." Do you think the Onslow peoplo will visit New Berne any more after this road is completed than they do now? Oil ys, Tho road will be a great benefit to the laboring class of people! le people who constitute the substantial class of our population. It is the only real improvement that has ever been given the people of Onslow county by the State. We have been cut oiT from Wilmington by filling up the New inlet, so we cant get there without go ing around Frying Pan shoals, a dange rous anu uncertain route, wiien a boat starts for Wilmington we have no idea when it will get .there, and when one is loaded and started for Onslow we can't count on the time it will ar ive. Why recently , the merchants got out of pork whilo waiting for a boat from Wilmington; no meat could be had only what little bacon the farmers had put up for thoir own use. Now a half a day '8 drivo will put us in New Berne, or in ono day we can come to Quaker Bridge, get a load of goods and go back home the same night." "What do you think of the lands ?" "I think well of them. By ull means the Legislature should have another road cut from Isaac Brock's to Geo. Smith's; but if the people give away the present road for a tramroad or railroad, why the Legislature will hardly give them another. I think it would be a good idea to connect the Core creek road with the Quaker Bridgo road; but I don't see how the people of Trenton can be bene fitted much by the Core creek road un less they make it a railroad." Here the Doctor bade us good Ibye with the injunction to be sure and not report him again, as we did last fall on one occasion, as being opposed to steam. He regards the Quaker Bridge road as a great work for the Onslow people and we trust it1 may prove equal to all his and the people's expectations living in that section. Personal. . Prof. Price Thomas has returned from his summer trip, and will begin his work in the Graded School soon with renewed energy arid with a deter mination .to have the best school in the State. Tho new building will give him great advantage over any previous ses sion of the school, and we hope to see it well filled before Christmas. . Miss Leah Jones is, visiting relatives in Carteret connty. Miss Leah Holland is visiting friends and relatives in the lower part of the county. Miss Willie Bell, of Jones county, passed through the 'city this week on her return to Greensboro Female Col lege." Regular Meetings. According to tho By-laws the Central Cleveland and. Scales Club will begin their regular weekly meetings next Wednesday night. We presume the committee on Hall have performed their duty and will give notice in due time of the place of meeting. Mu.lcal Defect of the Candidate. Among the other charges against Mr. Blaine it is now set down that he has two af ternoon organs; this is better than his associate Logan, who, we think, is the man that claims the belt for play ing that popular, though oft-neglected instrument, the accordeon. And the other ticket is but little better, for it is said that Cleveland spends much of his leisure time in the martial amusement of blowing the fife, while Mr. Hendricks has long excelled in the gyrations of the bow and takes a high stand in his adopted State as a number one fiddler, In former days when more actively en gaged in the practice of the law than now, he rarely ever ventured to any of the rural courts without a prudent provision of rosin in one corner of his satchel, to be used in case a, corn nusg ing dance" or anything of the sort should cross his pathway- ' , ,; The best medical authorities acknowl edge the great value of Ayer's Cathartic Pills, and frequently prescribe their use with the utmost confidence, well know ins that they are the moss effectual rem' edy ever devised for diseases caused by Kinston Items. The fall session of Kinston graded school, under the management of Prof. Goodwin, began last Monday. By last Wednesday morning 194 scholars were enrolled, mostly of the "one syllable folks." It is said, that either Dr. John A.Pol lock or Dr. F. M. Kountree, of this place, will be the Democratic candidate for the Senate from the 11th Senatorial Distriot composed of the counties of Greene and Lenoir. An old gentleman from the Neck township told me last Wednesday that Daniel G. Taylor, the anti-stock law candidate wtuld sweep everything in that township in both parties. He is not a candidate. Ed. Joubnal. There is an elm tree in Kinston on the South side of the court house, which has been dying since the "gallant Kitchen" made his celebrated "Sugar Thomas" speech under its shade in 1874. That speech, like a stroke of lightning, blasted everything it touched. A few years ago what is now the great onion tract of Chester, in Orange county, JNew iork, was a worthless piece of land. To-day it would bring readily 81,000 per acre. Last season on these meadows 120,000 bushels of onions were grown, which were sold for more than $135,000. This season's crop will be even larger. There are no other equally large onion tracts in the coun try. This sort of weather ought to warm up the political campaign: "Gaily the candidate Seeketh the bar, Where thirsty citizens Throng from afar, Singing: In search of thee Hither we come. Candidate, candidate, Set up the rum. "Hark! 'tis the candidate Calls them by name; Up to the parapet Swiftly they came. And still his song's heard All through the din: 'Thiz time itz on me, Se'nnu umppagin.' " A Counterfeit Silver Dime. It has been noticed recentlv that counterfeit ten-cent pieces are getting quite numerous. They are clumsily made, and are brighter and of lighter weight than the original coin. They feel soft to the touch and look as glossy as quicksilver. The metal is so soft that the finger-nail will almost make an indention. They bear the date 1875 Counterfeit half ind quarter dollars are also, in circulation, but bad ten-cent pieces are the most numerous.1 New l ork Mail ana Express. Bombardment of Foo Chow. Paris, Aug. 27. The official renort of the . bombardment of Foo Chow last Saturday, received from Admiral Cour bet, is as follows: Foo Chow, Sunday Morning, Aug. 24 A good beginning has been made We opened fire yesterday and in four hours nine Chinese men-of-war and twelve junks were sunk and the Krupp Datcery commanding tne arsenal was silenced. Our loss was six killed and twenty-seven wounded. The fleet suf fered no serious damage, except that the boiler of a torpedo boat was burst. The Chinese losses were heavy. During the night the fleet was beset by burning wrecKsana togs. The torpedo cutters win clear all this away to-day and af terwards we will bombard the arsenal We shall not leave the river before the 29th or 30th inst. The officers and men are animated with the greatest ardor, It is reported that there are 75,000 Chinese troops in tne vicinity of Foo Chow. According to reports received at Son tay 80,000 Chinese troops have invaded lonquin and have already had an en' gagement with the French troops. In this battle, it is asserted the French were annihilated, while several thous and of the Chinese were killed. Rome, Aug. 27. A false report got abroad in Civita Vecchia yesterday to the effect that the government was about to establish a quarantine of fifteen days against that city. This created a furoro of excitement among tourists and visitors of all classes; 1,800 persons oi ail sorts, including even hotel waiters. besieged the tauway station and took the first train by storm. Five hours were spenting in passing overthirtv eight miles to Rome, where they arrived in a most forlorn and demoralized con' dition. They were an angry and indig nant throng when they learned that the report which caused their panic had no foundation. rather!! , Your poor wearied wife losing sleep night after night nu'rsing the little ones suffering from that night fiend to chil dren and horror to parents, croup should have a bottle of Taylor's Chero kee Kemedy of bweet Uum and Mul lein, an undoubted croup prevent ive, and cure for Coughs, Colds Whooping Cough, Consumption, and all : lung and bronchial troubles.

Mr. M. must have spent his forenoon in looking for some good grocery butter. Guiteau's prophecies of evil have got so far that Garfield's doctors have be gun to drop off. Sickles is said to be for Blaine. It was Sickles who gave his deadly sup port to Hancock in 1880. Ben. Butler's yearly earnings amount to $100,000. These, however, are noth ing to his yearly yearnings. "Wise men all at sea," announces the New York Mail, Secretary Chandler must have returned from his cruse. Ben. Butler ought to be sent on an expedition to the North Pole," says the Indianapolis. Times. But who would want to eat old Ben. Butler t Frank James thinks Blaine is not honest. Philadelphia Ccdl. Neither is Frank honest. Both these citizens made some of their money on railroads. It is reported ihat Daniel Manning, editor of the Albany Argus, the Ohair man of the New York Democratic Com mittee, will marry Miss Pryor, of Albany, next fall. Jay Gould's income is said to be $4 a minute. If Jay were to come out as Workingman's and Anti-monopoly can didate for the Presidency, he would give cutler a close run. Henry Ward Beecher is for Cleve land; Thomas Khomas K. Beecher is for Butler, and Harriet Beecher is for Blaine. Isn't there a Beecher some where who will come out for St. John? A boy in the State of New York way laid nis father, and, with a cocked re volver, made the old man give up all the money he had. There is still ma terial for Presidents in these United States. Gen. Butler's return to the Assessors of Lowell shows that his income from his profession is $100,000. His horses and yacht America are valued at $30, 000 and his real estate in Lowell at $60,5000. The late Thurlow Weed is to have a costly monumental shaft 34 feet high, of Westerly granite, over his grave in the Albany Rural Cemetery. The late Wm. Li. Jflarcy rests under a more modest monument in the same cemetery. Mr. Blaine was a foraging young man in Kentucky; ergo, he did not write the Mulligan letters. Mr. Cleveland was a foraging young man in Buffalo; ergo he is not fit to be President. Is that not about the size of it, Brother Dana? Tom Ochilltree is the observed of all observers at Saratoga.

When four millions can be taken from the Government, and the Govern ment is not able to recover a cent, and nobody has to go eyen bo far as Canada, it is no wonder that the g. o. p. wants to put in four years more of its patriotic and disinterested ser vices.

Our flag covers one country and should insure protection to American citizens everywhere," says Gen. Logan As Gen. Logan and his party have had charge of the American flag for the past twenty-three years, who is to blame if it has net protected American citizens everywhere? "Your offer to admit me to a partici pation in the new railroad enterprise is in every respect as generous as i could expect or desire," wrote Mr. Blaine to Mr. f isher. This is written like a states' man. If Mr. Blaine had used some threadbare expression, such as "Look out for the locomotive when the bell rings," he would never have been nom inated for President. Brother Charles A. Dana, a word with you (between us girls): Would you kindly ransack your memory and let us know, confidentially, whether you re' member any young lady about Brook Farm, for instance, who might have looked sweetly upon young Benjamin F.

Cards, Tags.Circular Envelopes. etc.,, in neat and handsome Btyle, and Notice to School Committees. As the regularity of .our school work is every year more or less interfered with bv one or more schools, in isolated places, being run out of school term, I desire to call the attention of the School Committees of Craven to the following sections of the Public School Law: Section 61, page 23, says, that "The scl.oil year shall begin on the first Monday in December." Section 21, page 1U, says, "as far as practicable, the County Board of Educa-1 tion shall require all the schools to be gin on the same day." Section 16, page 7, says, "the county board of education shall be, and is here by charged with the general manage ment of the public schools in their re spective counties." From all of which it is plain that the public schools must be gin on the first Monday in December; and that if any one possesses the power of starting a public school before the first Monday in December it is the coun ty board of education alone. And even they would not be complying with the spirit of the law unless they started all the schools together. They tried an earlier date once at my recommenda tion. The schools were started on the first Monday of November. What was the consequence? Two-thirds of the children were kept in the fields picking I out cotton, and the money for Novem ber was all thrown away. We have not enough money in Craven to run schools in both summer and winter. From the first Monday in December to I the last of March are the only successive four months we can use. I have no authority to sign school vouchers for a teacher keeping school out of term time, and l respectfully urge school commit tees not to operate such schools. Hespectiully, John S.
