Rev. I. L. Chestnutt, of Snow Hill,
who has accepted the call from the

his first sermon in the church here on

He will begin his regular duties here

It is suggested by a prominent gentle
man that when the eleotrio lights are
introduced in this city ihat the city
government require the wires to be put
under ground. Recent awful deaths
caused by contact with the electrio
wires in New York have demonstrated
the fact that there is always some
danger when the wires are above
ground. One human life is invaluable.
We respectfully call the attention of
the board of city oouccil to this sug
gestion.

Not the least of the benefits that may
be derived from tbe construction of the
New Berne and Onslow Railroad will
be the increased buainees that will be
brought to the A. and N. 0. Railroad,
as the new road will be a virtual ex
tension of it; tbe two oorporatioas are
certain to be friendly, and the good
and passengers on all Intermediate
points of the A, and N. C. Railroad for
the South and West may be brought to
New Berne and distributed via Wil
mington to tbe various destination.
Or, taking another view of it, if the
new railroad becomes as is likely, a
powerful rival in certain respects to
the R. & D. and W. & W. roads, f e
1'iutr may modify their present almost
prohibitory rates, and show a disposi
tion to "tote fair," in wbioh event our
export of locsl products and reoeipts of
those from other sections of tbe State
ill be materially increased and the
A & N. C. Railroad will in common
with point a upou its line be benefitted.
Tbe city of New Berne now has, from
the north, bettur and cheaper freight
service tbnn perhaps any point in the
S)uth, with the Urge cities at tbe
North, nnd today, the A. & N. C. Rail
road is putting goods from New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, into Golds
borofor delivery at points on Ihe W. ft
W. and R. & D Railroads, after paying
the tatter's high rates. If this be so
under an almost prohibitory tariff on
those lines what an immense volume of
freight might be directed eouthernwatd
via New Berne if the distributing
agencies were friendly to New Berne's
intpreat? V There would be no good
reason why freights destined to remote
southern 8Dd southwestern points
should not coma this way.
As heretofore suggested a line of
swift daily passenger boats would be
needed to maintain a grand North and
Sjuth through passenger route, and
those same boats could handle tbe bulk
of freights, that would insure quick
service which, coupled with low rates,
would make it one of the most popular
freight routes in the country.
All this would not only contribute to
tbe prosperity of New Berne but aa we
maintain, to that of the A. and N. 0.
Railroad.
There will not a passenger or a pound
of freight pass through New Berne
without contributing something to our
prosperity; and the greater the volume
of both the greater the good derived
We occasionally bear some one re
mark, '-I am not opposed to the new
road ooming here, but I do not want to
give them fifty thousand dollars for
doing if" This generous('r) class are
on a par with the fellow who was going
to be hung for being so lazy, and while
on bis way to the place of execution, a
leader in the banging party pioposed
that they give the fellow another
chance. "Let us," said he to his oom
panions, "give him a barrel of corn to
commenoe a life of thrift on and see
what be will do.." This being agreed
on the lazy man was appealed to and
asked if he would accept the conditions
Languidly turning about he drawled,
"Is the . corn shelled"? Upon being
told that it was not, he told the driver
of the cart to go on as the labor oonss-
quent on shelling a barrel of oorn was
too great for the poor boon of life.
So it is with some of our people; tbey
are willing to take all they can get, but
sre not willing to give anything in re
turn.
The fact should not be forgotten that
in subscribing to the stock of this com
pany we "give" nothing; we simply in
vest so muoh of the city's money in
what is expected and believed will be a
good paying investment. . Do not lose
sight of this, and make up your mind to
vote for the proposition. Z

is of opinion that Eastern North Caro-
Una offers plenty of inducements for
the prudent and aotive business man to
suoceed. We cannot compete with the
more Southern State in raising cottcn
because our tessons are too short, but
we can raise our home su pplies and te
assured of the necessaries of lite. Take
away the curlew bug and bog cholera'
says Mr. Martin, and Pamlico county
ill become one of the greatest hog
and hominy producing sections in the
whole ooun try. Also he says that it is
a false idea that wheat cannot be raised
in bis county. Before the war it was
grown, and of the very fineat quality.
He says that the Alliance has takeu
hold of the matter and are endeavoring
to get more wheat plante I than former-
lerly. They now are taking steps to
erect a mill and put a halt to the im
portation of all.of their flour.
North Carolina is good enough if we
only properly utilize its resources. Re
duce your acreage, till the soil better
and raise lets .;otton and more supplies.
Our sou is naturally adapted to nearly
all of the cereals and Brasses, the culti-
vv.inn nf whirh imnm0l m.

ohmory, requires little muscular labor.
Raising Block is another feature that is
negleted too much by our farmers. All

west for our pork and beef should be
kept at home. The amount of money
sent from the South for artioles of food
and manufactured implements is start
ling. They all should be raised and
made at our very doors, and until then
we are bound to experience the pressure
of stringent times.
Nearly every intelligent man will ad
mit of the above argument, but how
many are doiog all they can to Dnng
about the reform : Very few, no doubt,
bnt it must come if we wish to become
more prosperous and independent, and
