Hansey French, a colored woman who kept an oyster saloon in rear of John Slade's bar . room at the junction of Queen and Broad streets, was burned to death yesterday morning about o'clock. She had been drinking and frolicking during the night and took seat by the stove, the door of which was open. .She went to sleep and fell over on the stove and her clothes took fire Some girl came into Slade's bar room during the time and smelled the clothes burning, but when discovered, Hansey had crawlad to the door. A few buckets of water were dashed on her, but she died in a few minutes.

Jones, of Cedar Point, Carteret county, died at his residence on Friday morning of hemorrhagic ma' . larial fever, after an illness of about ten days. Mr. Jones was a brother of our towns man, Capt. K. R. Jones. He was a Lieu tenant of a company in the Second Regi ment of N. C. troops during the war and was often commended for his gal lantry and soldierly bearing in the hour of dancer. He represented the Ninth Senatorial district, composed of the counties of Jones, Onslow and Carteret in the Legislature of 1881-83. He was not one of the noisy members but was alwavs nthis nost. faithfully discharir ins: his duties. Carteret county-has lout one of hot best citizens. 'en. On Tr 1 red Nolle to Delinquent. ' - When the Daily Journal was first issued in New Berne, the proprietors announced that they would collect the subscription price at the end of each month, thus reversing the usual news paper rule which is "Cash in advance." We were compelled to adopt this course because few people had any confidence iu the ability of the Journal to survive three months, and we did not care to have them feel that they were running ribk to invest money in it, though we were determined to make it a success, So we have sent our collector regularly at the end of each month, not to collect money in advance for the Journal, but what was actually due, and our subscri bers have generally responded prompt ly, and we take this occasion to thank them for their liberal patronage and promptness in paying their sub scriptions. But we have a few, and we are glad . to say they are a very few, that have put off paving their bills until they have amounted to several dollars. We can not indulge these longer. We must col lect what is due us at the beginning of each month, and we propose to start on the first of January with a clean list Our collector will call on those who are in arrears between now and then and if they want the Journal after the first, they must pay what they are due We have a few subscribers who have ho regular place of business in the city and who dislike to have their bills pre sented on the street, which is about the only place our collector can find them. We propose to give these, and all others who have faith in the Journal as a fixed institution in this city, an oppor tunity of paying in advance at $5.00 per annum or $2.75 for six months. we wish our delinquents to bear in mind that we will not have the jpaper delivered to them after the 1st of Jan- uary unless they have paid their past dues. Journalistic. The Clayton Bud has enlarged. It is a newsy little sheet. Black & Reid, publishers of the Ral eigh Christian Advocate, have dissolved copartnership, Rev. Mr. Black retiring, The Durham Tobacco JrlanX has en tered its fourteenth volume. l Mr. J., H. Becton retires from the Pamlico Enterprise. In his valedictory ha says when he assumed control of the paper he found its financial condition anything but encouraging. He turns it over to W. T. Caho, Esq., who an nounces that he will continue its publi cation, without a cent's indebtedness Mr. Becton has made it a good local paper and we wish it success under the new management. - rr Fire Department New. ... An assistant engineer of the Button engine arrived on Christmas night and is stopping with the practical engineer who is very proud of the young man. The Atlantio Fire, Engine Company received-per Shenandoah last ' Friday morning a new hose carriage from the Silsby manufacturing .Company, Seneca Falls, N. Y. It is the most beautiful piece of work of the kind we have ever seen, and combines strength and durability with beauty. We are not sufficiently familiar with the ad vantages of this machine over the old one to note them in detail, but will mention a few. First is the gong at the foot of the driver's seat which he can sound at the street crossings; and the next is the beautiful headlight and handsome side lanterns, and at the rear are two torch-lights. The reel break and trip latch are great improvements. With these the driver can, by simply plaoing his foot on the latch, throw the reel loose, and when enough hose is ' reeled off he ' can stop it in an- instant. We can hardly see how an improvement can be made on tnis carriage, either in beauty or usefulness. It is a credit to the manufacturers. .List of Letters Remaining in' the Postoffice at New Berne, Craven county, N. C, December 27th, 1BS4. . Brown, Janie; Bell, Maryanna. Fanife, Maygins. Gaskins, F.

Castle Hall, Athenia Lodge No. 8, E. of P, New Berne, N. C, Deo. 23. 1884, We, the undersigned committee, beg leave to report the following: Whereas, In His infinite wisdom has pleased the Divine Commander of the Universe to remove from our ranks our well beloved brother William EoBminski, a member of this Lodge, but of late a resident of New York city. Be it, therefore, by Athenia Lodge No. V, K. of P.. Resolved, That in the death of the beloved brother our Order has lost a true and valiant Knight, whose memory will be ever cherished by his brethren, Resolved, That we tender the be reaved family of our late brother our most heartfelt sympathy in this their sad hour of affliction, in having lost a good and faithful husband and a kind and indulgent father. Resolved, That this Castle Hall be suitably draped and we wear the pre scribed mourning badge for 80 days. Resolved. That a copy of these resolu tions be spread upon the minutes of this Lodge, one be sent to the family of our deceased brother and one be given to the press for publication, signed, MAX SCHWERIN, i J. M. Hargett, Com. E. M. Pavie. . J Kinston Items. Nowitzky is in town canvassing for his Monthly "the finest south of the Potomac," says the editor. Mr. T. C. Wooten of Snow Hill was in town on W ednesday not buying Christmas tricks yet awnue. Mr. Ashley T. Hill (not T. H. Ashley, as it is in Branson's Directory) content plates visiting the New Orleans Expo sition. ' - "" Several mortgaged horses and mules were sold at auction, in iront of the court house, on Wednesday by C. W. Burt, auctioneer. A baa sign, ana a sad sight. - As I write (Wednesday afternoon) the sound of the fire-cracker greets the ear. As Fayette McCullen very justly re marked: "Unite a fire-cracker and a small boy, and you have a noisy compound."- , j . - Mr. B. F. Nunn and Mr. Walter Har- rrived with their brides on the Tues day's train from Goldsboro. Several more couples are "ready, willing and waiting," one in town and several in the vicinity. ' - - We missed the Adjutant's usual 'good joke in the last number of the Journal. Get him in a good humor, Major, and tell him to "cut and come again" with one of his best for Christmas. Mr. Edgar Harper, one of the propri etors of the New Berne journal, showed his pleasant countenance on our streets on Monday last. Kinston must claim the honor of having "made an editor out'n him." , A venerable gentleman of Kinston went into the country on KoM?y last reiewed nia youta by wo bix . ' , 1 I ITj v '. r l- ' ' r rt 1 l "7 tr v ; number of winters; but the town "boy" walked down the country "youth," At the last meeting of the lodge of I Knights of Honor in this place, the fol lowing were elected officers for 1885: Dictator, Dr. H. D. Harper; Vice Dic tator. David Oettinger: Assistant D. M. LaKoque; Reporter, J.f. juaskitt; Reporter, J. W. uouins; chaplain, Dr. R. H. Lewis: Guide. David Jack son: Guardian. J. E.

From Little Swift Creek. Mr. A. O. Evett, of Beaufort county, has in his possession an earthen plate 140 years old, that belonged to his great- grandmother. Also, a chair that was in use in 1778, and a sword and canteen that wen in thefbattlee of Brioe's Creek and King's Mountain. The motto of the regiment his grandfather belonged to was victory or death." M, La Orange Items. Capt. A. C. Davis gives one day holl- day. Doc" Hadley is visiting' in our place spending the holidays. Miss Bridgers, of Goldsboro, is visit ing Miss Addie Kirkpatriok in our place- Miss Myrtle Pope, who has been teach ing at Newport, is Christmasing at her father's in town. We are glad to be able to report the absence of one nuisance Christmas day Not the sound of a horn was heard by us during the day, W. H. Sutton and Miss Ida Brewer were mrrried at the residence of the bride's father, in this township, on Wednesday, 24th inst. C. H. Hughes killed, at bait, five wild turkeys at one shot, one day last week. There were six in the "gang" only one esoaped, and he "sought his life.'' Prof. J. Y. Joyner, formerly one of the principals of L. C. I., but now Pro fessor in the Graded School at Winston, N. C, is spending the holidays at his old home near here. Mr. Joyner is an excellent teacher, and it was regretted when he withdrew from the school here. At an election held at the hall of the Knights of Honor, in this place on the 3rd Friday in this month, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: o. D. Pope, D.; J. W. Rice, V. D.; A. J. Mclntyre, A. D.; Samuel Smith. R.: S. I. Sutton, F. R. : H. M. Mc Donald, Treasurer; O. K. W. Howard, Chaplain: J. T. wooten, G , liuara; sentinel ; P. D. The officers will be installed at the first regular meeting in January. Fire crackers are used abundantly. It must be that some sees fun in it. We imagine that the hard times are show ing these Christmas times. We have not seen as dull Xmas in "lo these many years." Though the day was dull and the times hard, much has been as good as waisted, that will be needed in the near future. Eyery one has the right, and we would hot question it, to use that which is his to suit himself, but it seems to us worse than folly to spend one's living for that which is of no good. ' We notice in the Daily Journal the move of onr Seven Springs neighbors for a new county. Such a move has been under consideration by the citizens of this place and the surrounding coun try for over twelve months, uur propo sition is to , establish a county within these limits, subject, of course, to al terations, viz.: Beginning at Greene county line, where Lenoir Institute and r ailing creek township line insect said line, and runs with said township line to Falling Creek, then down the creek to the fork or the road near the warters mile, then with White 'Hall road to the avenue at the Harper place, then a di rectline to the White Hall road, on the south side of Neuse river at the ' Camp bell place, then with said White Hall road to the fork near the Col. Jas. Davis place, thence with the left fork of said road to Duplin county line, then with said Duplin line to a point opposite the moutn 01 wainut ureeK, then up the oreek to the Dick Hinson place, then a direct line to the mouth of Hood swamp, where it enters into Bear creek, then woorg 11 euwrv mm sear croeit, men up Hood swamp to the Goldsboro and Snow Hill road, then with said road to a fork of the public road just east of William Newsoms, then with the pub- 110 roaa oj .lames onu s ana jonn Wooten 's, to the La Orange and Snow Hill road, north . of Mewberne's meet ing: house, then with said road to the new publio road, leading; from said La- Orange and Snow Hill road to Hull road, then with said new road to Hull road, then with Hull road to Greene county line, then to the beginning. The territory embraced would make quite a respectable county, and would inolude seven wpnngs ana mucn 01 the country contained in their proposed new county, as to the location of tne county site, we prefer it here for obvious reasons, but if a majority of the quali- a i . 4.1 a a l l locate elsewhere,' then let the will of the nonnld mvarn.
