Editor Jocrnal: Allow me space in your pappr to state to the public the progret-s of our Craven County Teach ers 'a Association. Whereas, a number of the ofiicers and members met on Sat urday, December 6, at the colored graded school building on West street. Meeting convened at hulf past twelve o'clock. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, and also other business was attended to, after which the president gave out cer tain work to be done and presented at the next meeting. Mi'eting Adjourned until the first Sat urday in January 1885. All friends of education pre invited to attend. Alexander Bass, President. J. O. Sutton, Jit., Secretary. Jones County Itenw. Hog killings are plentiful now in our section. The public schonla are now oneu in nearly every district in the county. I see that our peopio are securing their Christmas turkeys, for fear that the price will be too high a httie later. A few of our farmers have tjrme to work in earnest notwithstanding the many drawbacks of the past seasr.u, de termined in succeed if success is attain able. We have been Messed with a fine rain, and now we have cold, fair weather, the very kind for the iarmers to pre pare their firewood and to miike rails to fence their farms. Persons who have to rent their farms are now looking around trying to better themselves. I hear that there are many who are moving now, getting ready to make an early start for another year. Dr. James H. Scarborough w.is all smiles and good humor on Saturday morning last. 1 enquired why the doc tor was in such fine humor, aud was in formed that there had arrived at his home a little stranger who had came to stay a fine little girl. A couple of colored boys, tramping through Cypress Creek township last Saturday, while passing tho farm of Air. lien, brock, took it into their heads that as Mr. Brock had such a fine drove of turkeys they would junt help them selves, but they were discovered by some of Mr. Brock's tenants, who caught them and turned them over to the proper authorities, and in default of bail were sent to the Trenton jail. I heard a couple of darkeys discussing the tariff; one remarked that he jwas sorry that Blaine was defeated, because said he, Cleveland will take all the duties off everything and cause our fac tories to stop. And then," said he, "England will just send enough things here for ub to use and charge us what she pleases. " "No, sir, ' ' said the other, "lust look at matches; our people charged us five cents for two papers wid de tariff, and Congress took it oil. Eng land then sent 'em here so plenty dat a nigger can atlord to bile de pot wid em and not broke at dat," The town of Trenton has a largo num ber of good looking young men, but I bave been informed that some of them will change their condition shortly, as all the vacant houses in the town has been engaged for the next year by the single men and furniture ordered to fill them. Should not be surprised to hear that several more dwellings will be needed in a short time. All right, young gentlemen; glad to hear that you are pursuing the only course that will bring to you contentment and prosperity through lire. Trenton township has more unmar ried men than any other township in the county; will not some of our know ing ones inform us why this state of things exist? Some of our young men say that times are so hard that they aro afraid that they could not make a living, were they to marry. I do not consider this any excu.10 at all, as many of our young men waste enough money to support a wife decently; then why not do it, and thereby bring about a different state of things? Instead of so many old bachelor housekeepers that are making up their owu beds, cooking and washing dishes, let them seek out a good wife and bring her to their homes, and my word for it, gentlemen, you will never regret it. , Williamston Again in Flames. News and Observer. Rocky Mocxt, N. C, Dec. 11. Another large fire occurred in Wil- liamston last night about 13 o clock, burning the largo livery stable in front of Kir by 's hotel, including Stubbs' office. The horses and vehicles were saved. The hotel caught several times, as well as other buildings, but were put out by hard work of the citizens. - The fire originated in the back of the stables among some fodder or hay. The loss is not estimated, if there was any in gurance the amount is not known. Q.Z.

The depart ment of agriculture reports to-day the prices of farm products in the home markets. The tendency to a general decline of price3 appears to have de pressed values somewhat, aaido from the abundant supply. The average price of, corn is 36LV cents, which is one cent lower than the average for 1879, when the supply in proportion to the population was quite au large. It has been lower but twice in ten yeas; in 1877-'78, after two previous years of abuudanee. It is tho highest in Florida, 80 cent;! per bushel; and the lowest pi ice is 18 cents in Nebraska; Kansas 22, Iowa 23, Missouri 26, Illinois and Min nesota 31, Indiana and Mississippi 34, Michigan 40, Ohio 41, Kentucky 43. It is 52 in Pennsylvania, 54 in New Jersey and CO in New York. Tho range of values in the South Atlantic States is from 30 in Delaware to 72 in South Car oiina, and 80 in Florida, increasing in the order of movement, except that Georgia reports 66 cents; in the more Western States 54 in Tennessee; CI in Alabama; 62 in Mississippi and Texas, and 67 in Louisiana. The average farm price of wheat is 65 cents per bushal, against 91 cents last December. The December price io thirteeu years has previously been below one dollar per bushel but live timed in 1874, 1878, 1880, 1882 and 1883. The average in Nebraska is 42 cents 45 in Kansas: 46 in Dakota; 50 in Min nesota; 5o in Iowa; 62 in Missouri; 63 in in Illinois, 67 in Indiana; 74 in Michigan, and 75 in Ohio. The average home grown wheat in New England exceeds one dollar; in New York it is 85 cents; u i'ennsylvania bo. It is b'J cents in Virginia and 83 in Maryland. The average value of oats is 28 cents, against 33 cents last December, and 37 against 35 in 182- The present value is the lowest ever reported by the department. The lowest State average is 19 cents. Id Nebraska tho highest is 60; in Florida, Iowa and Minnesota, 20 cents; Kansas 22; Illinois 23; Indiana 27, and Ohio 29. The range is from 42 to 60 in the South. Tho plantation price of cotton re ported ranges from 9 to 91 per pound. It is 9 in Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas, 9 cents and 1 mill, in Louisiana, 9 cents and 2 mills in Georgia, 9 cents and 3 mills in the Carolinas and Vir ginia. The average farm price of the entire crop of potatoes is 40 cents per bushel. Tho lowest is 25 cents, in Michigan. The average in New York is 80 cents, 42 in Ohio, 35 in Maryland, 84 in Illinois, 28 in Iowa, 29 in Nebraska. The Latest News. Baltimore, Deo. 11. At the cente nary conference this morning Bishop Wilson, of M. Ji. Church South, occu pied the chair. Prayer was offered by Rev. A. S Hunt, agent of the American Bible Society, after which the minutes were read by Rev- J. S. Martin, of West Virginia. A resolution calling for a grand temperance demonstration during the session of the conference was refer red to the executive committee. The special order of the day, the review of the superintendence- ot Asbury, and what he did for Methodism, by Key. J. Boring, of theM. E. Church, South, was read by Wm. S, Thompson, the vener able Dr. Boring being unequal to the task. The essay was a general review of the labors of Asbury, the difficulties he overoame and the success that ulti mately crowned his work. Tho read' ing of the essay on Asbury was followed by an address by Rev. A. Wheeler, on the relations of John Wesley to American Methodism. This was a discussion of the subject of the itineracy. The bishop made a report, recommending that the two temperance maiss meetings be held on Saturday next, under the auspices of the conference, which was adopted Adjourned.

The citizens of this place are becoming alarmed by farmers from the small pox stricken village of Stoco visiting the Kingston market. Measures will be taken by tho authorities to prevent such visits while danger of infection exists. Boston. Dec. 9. Hueli O'Brien. theDemocraticcandidatoforMavor. was elected to-dav bv a nluralitv of 3,421 over Augustus P. Martin, the present mayor, who was the lfepnb lican and Citizen's candidate. The total vote was 51.900. a fallinsr off of about 7,000 from the vote at the national election. By a peculiar concatenation of events, tho free traders are gener ally in favor of protection to the Louisiana sugar industry and the protectionists are against it. This is because the Government receipts' from tho importation of sugar are about $50,000,000, and if that should be done away with the rev enue would need very little lurther reduction, and tho remaining pro tective features of the tanil could stand without disturbance. This is the reason why tho free traders are for a little protection in Louis iana. Alas that expediency should so often be tho fouudatiun of prin ciple ! JV. r. Sun. Little Eocic, Dec. 9. Joseph Cook, leader of the gang that rob bed the passengers on the Tine Bluff train on Saturday night, con fessed this morning, and implicated Clifford, Adolph Parker, and Kline, his confederates. Clifford and Parker aro in custody here, and Kline is reported to have been cap. tuid in Garland county this alter noon, and will be brought here im mediately. They are all young men, and residents of this city ex cept Clifford, who came here three weeks ago lrom Chicago. Parker is tho son of a leading furniture dealer of this city, aud only 17 years old. The police have recovered nearly all the property and money that the gang got on the train. Montreal, Dec. 9. Before Vennor died he had completed the manuscript ot his almanac lor 1S85, which has just been issued from the press here. In his general forecast, he says we are in a "moist period,' ' which will continue for two years, extending over the Northern and Middle States aud Canada. The fall of 1881 he pre dicted would be very open, with a mud, unsettled winter to follow, with great falls of rain and snow. He also predicted an unusually green Christmas and a mild New Year. As far as eastern Canada is concerned, tho forecasts have beeu fulfilled almost to the letter. Tho country is destitute of snow, and the rivers aro tree lrom ice, with mild, rainy weather. New Orleans, Dec. 9. "Tho world," said Director-General Burke yesterday, "never witnessed an exposition of the magnitude of this. There aro more machinery. more art, more agriculture, and more exhibits ot the natural re sources of America, than the world has seen beioro at one time. Two thousand car loads of material have beeu carried to the Exposition, and tho buildings are not yet half full. Two thousand car loads of freight are on wheels or in vessels, and we shall open with more in position than has ever been seen in an ex hibition heretofore. - Applications lor space have been allotted for British, French, Belgian, Prussian, Austrian, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Siamese, Central Ameri can, and Mexican exhibits, cover ing 160,000 square feet of space. Our floor space is about 2,500,000 square feet, and we shall not be able to allot space for a week, be cause the ground floor and the galleries are full to overflowing. We shall add a building 400 feet long to tbe main building, and have it finished by Dec. 16, although not a post is up." Sweet Gum and SlulleiQ.
