Dr. S. has done as much for his party as any other roan in t"s9 county, therefor we think it our C 'v to eive him the chance of this A Call for Harmony. ; A portion of the delegates of the late Republican convention of Craven coun ty assembled at the old court house building on Tuesday for the purpose of harmonizing and beginning active cam paign work. The meeting was called to order by B. Abbott, Chairman of the Execu tive Committee, and the Secretary of the late convention, C. E. Palmer, called the roll of delegates. About thirty-one answered to their names, while there were several around on the outskirts of the crowd who would not answer. The chairman explained the object of the meeting. He said there had been some dissatisfaction at the action of the late convention and lie felt it his duty to call them together and try to har monize all differences, that they might present a united front to tho Democ racy. He further said that it had been suggested that he resign the chairman ship of the executive committee, but he would assure them that he would hard- Jy do that, as he wanted the place for a good long time, that he had been duly elected to the position and would hard ly resign. Mr. R. Hancock, jr , then took the floor and made an earnest appeal for harmony. Whenever ho would point out tho necessity of electing Blaine and Logan and Tyre York an old colored man standing on the outside would shout, "Yes, and Daniel Timson!" While Mr. Hancock was speaking, L. II. Smith addressed the chair, but the chair would not recognize him Lecauso he failed to answer when his name was called. The secretary again called his name ad he answered. He then wished to know if this meeting was called to endorse the Blaine, Logan and Stim son Club, but got no answer. Mr. Hancock proceeded with his speech. When he had concluded, the secretary read a series of resolutions, reaffirming the action of the late convention and declaring that all would work iu har mony for the State and National tickets. When the chairman put the question, Are you ready for the question?" sev eral responded, "not ready." Geo. H. White, Esq., took the floor and argued that the county convention having ad journed sine die, its delegates no longer constituted a convention of the Repub lican party of Craven county and they had no right to pass such resolutions as a convention. He also contended that to pass such resolutions would be to ac knowledge that there was something wrong done in the other convention. There was a little sparring when he be gan his speech between him and the chairman, the chairman having called the speaker to order and requested him to confine himself to the question. Mr. Hancock again took the floor and endeavored to explain the resolutions. He thought Mr. White was mistaken; this meeting was not called as a convention but as a mass meeting When this announcement was made Tucker, James, Smith and some others regarded it as a free meeting and "waded in." Four or five were bawl ing "Mr. Chairman" at one time and violently shaking their fists. The chair man, notwithstanding, it had been said that it was not the old convention reas sembled, refused to recognize any who had not responded to the roll-call About this time it really looked like it would be the old convention over again. Amidst the confusion the chairman put the question on the resolutions and pronpunced it carried. Mr. Hancock then offered a substitute for the resolutions. This was also put while Henry James, Fred. Douglas and Ed. Tucker were telling the chairman something' he did not want to hear. The substitute was declared adopted also, . i ,n, m ., A motion to adjourn was put and carried. Tucker shouting at the top of nis voice, " we n neat you at the polls nexiiNovemDer." There was evidently a strong Stimson feeling in the meeting, and the points made by Geo. H. White were very foroi- Diy put. . v ;. But we wish to remind the Democrats that these faotions are strongly united on their State and National tickets, however much they may be divided locally. We see no other way for the KepuDiioans to settle tneir local diffi culty than to go squarely before the people and let it be decided at the bal lot dox. They can divide their vote and still beat the Democrats, while such division locally need-not necessarily nurt tneir state and National ticket. SPECIALTIES.

The bolls are drying up and getting hard as hickory nuts. The Democratic 11th senatorial dis trict convention, at Kinston, last Satur day nominated Dr. Frank M. Rountree of Lenoir county for the State Senate. The nomination is considered a very strong one. D. W. Wood, Esq., of Moseley Hall township, Lenoir county, has a grape vine which bears hickory nuts. The pollen of a hickory tree Which grows above the arbor feeds the blossoms of the vine and has produced four perfect nuts. Since our lord mayor rings the bell and calls in all citizens of Kinstontit 10 o'olock at night, it is suggested that he fix the hour and ring the bell when they may come out again. The mayor seems to have the French idea of liberty the privilege of arresting every citizen but himself. A. J, Loftin, Esq., Kinston 's lieuten ant mayor, returned last week from a prolonged visit among the sights of New York City. While there he saw and rubbed with his hand Maud S., the celebrated trotting nag of Robert Bon ner. He also got amonar the Wax Figures in the Museum, where behold ing himself in a large unobserved mir ror, he mistook himself for a stranger and begged pardon of his own shadow tor moving about as ho did.

Peter Bynum, of Green county, was in town Monday. He adds one pupil to we vuiieguiie lUBiiiuie. A light rain Saturday evening. The clouds have blown away, and this (Monday) morning it is cool and fair. The Primitive Baptists have taken down the old Bear Creek church, aDd are building a house for worship in this piace. The protracted meeting at the Insti tute, under the management of the Rev J. D. Carpenter, continues. No acces sions up to Sunday night. Rigden Walters and Needham Wal ters, brothers, worked together continu ously for thirteen years at the carpen ter's business, besides several jobs be- tore and alter. "Billy" Warters, Falling Creek's chief justice, sold the first bale of new cotton, from this county, in Goldsboro on Saturday last for 10ic. Falling ureek taxes tne lead to is year, It is hard to tell what a base-ball club will do. At first our Central club and the Goldsboro club would play: second they would not play. - But they have played, and the Central was winner by to 18. , A new chill cure has been discovered in Falling Creek section. The curer places his hat on the bed, gathers all the chills on the place and takes them away, Where chills abound the cures are more abundant. . r J. C. Carter, the La Grange Repub lican candidate for the legislature, is having an easy time electioneering. His friends "set 'em up" to him and not he to his friends. Not much "flatten ing" in that. The president has called a meeting of the La Grange Cleveland and Scales club next Friday at 3 o'clock p.m. We hope all the members will be present, and those wishing to join can have their names enrolled by applying to the com mittee appointed for that purpose. The protracted meeting at the Baptist church here closed last night. The ser mons throughout have been very in structive. But little has been accom plished in adding of members to the church, but that good has, been done cannot be doubted. We believe the church has been strengthened, and that the work: will tell in after years. One addition to the church. - : "Billy " Dunn, C. S. C. paid onr town a visit Saturday, on other than official business we learn. 4 J. C. Carter, the disturbing element m tbe Republican party just now, was the moving cause, and it is said in this connection the visit was a failure. . Mr. Carter claims that he was fairly nominated at the county convention. He has entered tke race and has repeatedly expressed his deter- initiation to not withdraw, and what right Mr. Dunn or anyone else has to ask it, or how Mr. carter can consistent ly do so, we are unable - to see. That Mr. C. has a strong following up hero and in the Institute is bevond doubt. and if he holds out faithfully to. tho end, nnd we see no reason why he should not, "a flattening of candidates" will not be confined-to La Grange after VIV VWV4VU AAA lwf vlUUvtl . Jones County Items. The grape crop is abundant this sea son and are larger in mzo than they have been for several years. Trenton appears to bo a good market for beef. Messrs. Sylvanus Barker and Daniel Andrews dispose of one beef apiece every Saturday. Fodder pulling is now the order of the day with us. , Some few of our farmers have finished pulling their crop and have saved all their fodder in ex cellent condition. Trent river is getting very low : some work or wharfing which Gen. Ransom had put up at the basin has under- minded at its base, caved in tho river during the late freshet. Mr. W. H. Mallard has for the last two weeks beon supply ing the people at Trenton with some extra tine apples and he has brought in market some very large sweet potatoes. Farmers are complaining of the army worm; they havoon some of the farms. eaten up all the grass and have attacked the late corn, and I hear they are also eating the rice. These worms are not the kind that destroy cotton. As money has been so very scarce around Trenton the great substitute for it, eggs, nave been very plentiful until now they have become very scarce and are quickly taken at 12 cts. per dozen by the merchants. Tronton has become a quiet and verv law abiding place during the reign of our new Mayor. No fighting, no law breaking; but it appears that every one is striving to make Trenton lust as it ought to be, apeaceable, quiet village. We are making preparations to throw to the breeze a Cleveland and Scales flag and I would suggest that we invite somo of our ablest speakers on the dav that we hoist our flag and have a genoral good time, a regular rousing time, such an one as has not been in Trenton since the days of olden times. The convention met to-day and nom inated the following: House of Repre sentatives, P. M. Pearsall; Sheriff, J. C. Parker; Register of Deeds, K. F. Foscue; Coroner, J. II. Scarborough; Surveyor, A. F. Bocton; appointed 20 delegates to meet at Swansboro the 19th of Septem ber, rroceedings Harmonious. The Cleveland and Scales Club meet every Saturday evening and tho num ber increases at every meeting. Mr. P. M. Pearsall gave us an interesting and sensible discourse on Saturday last. They requested the secretary to invito Mr. Cyrus Thompson, of Onslow, to address the Club on Saturday next. Prof. Perry's school commences at Trenton this morning (Sept. 1). Mr. Perry has secured the sorvices of Mies Mary Betts to assist him as one of the teachers. I understand that his school will open with a prospect of very fair patronage. The citizens of the whole county ought to use their best efforts to build up tuns scliool as it offers to the people of the county the advantages of a good school right at their own homes and at much less expense than they could secure it at otuer schools from home. Trenton is certainly very dull, as the farmers are too busy to spare time to go there; consequently the merchants are having a hard time of it just now, but cotton has commenced opening pretty briskly in some of the fields around here and the traders have com menced smiling again and are verv ac commodating and polite to all who may chance to inquire what will bo the prices of bagging and ties this season and at the same time assuring all such that they have unusual facilities for furnishing them as cheaply as any one in the market. During tne last summer l heard an old black man lamenting the high price or corn, but, says he, every dark cloud has a bright lining, huckelberries and brierberries will soon be ripe, then farewell to bread. I enquired of him the other day how he was getting along, He answered that he was getting along nnely now had plenty new corn. enquired how did he manage to dry it so it would grind, lie said necessity was the mother of invention, that he "wapperated in a big pot over the fire; no perishing a negro to death in this country; jest on possible if he had the right kind o'head like 1 have. MARRIED. At the residence of the bride's parents in this city on Tuesday morning, the 2d inst., by the Rev. Father Reilly of St. Paul's Catholic Church, Mr. H. S. Chambers of Orange Lake, Florida, to Miss Mamie Green, daughter of Judge Green. . The ceremony was quiet and impres sive and witnessed only by a few friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs Chambers, accompanied by Mr. A. L. Smith of New Orleans, a cousin of the groom, immediately took the train for Goldsboro, whence they go to Macon, Georgia, and Southern resorts to spend their honey-moon. - .

Casey, of Wayne, is on a visit to his mother and other relatives in this county; he reports crops in Wayne ordinary. I have been credibly informed that some one emptied a load of buck shot into a horse belonging to T. R. Lupton on .Tones' bay, a few nights since from the cirects of which he died. There was a row in Bayboro a short time since in which Prof. Skinner and Sam Williams, col., were participants. After several skirmishing movements tho row was Btopped. No blood shed. Mills Eure, aged six or seven months, son of F. F. and Willis Cherry, died in this place Saturday night about 12 o'clock. Mr. Dennis Moore and W. J. Parker each lost one of their little ones last week. Alden Banks, aged about fifty years, died on Sunday. Typho malariul fever sitems to be the great trouble. W. T. Caho, while absent to Washing ton on political business, had the ill luck to lose a fine cow. He had her blocked out. She became entangled in her trappings and broke her neck. Misfortunes never come singly on the same day by the same cause. Perry Jones, colored, had his ox to break his neck. Tho Emperor Louis Napoleon smoked only the finest cigars the world could produce. Prof, llorsford says the Em peror's cigars wore made specially for him iu Havana from leaf tobacco grown in tho Golden Belt of North Carolina, this being the finest leaf grown.
