Brilliant Social Ereat is the Country.
On Friday night, December J7th, at
the residence of Mr. Joel Klnsey, sttar
Fort Barnwell, a social was given ia
honor of ities Nellie Dunn, a-beautlful
and charming young lady of New Jar
aey, Hies Dunn ia t rclativaot .Mra.
Klnsey, and, in1 company with her
parents, ia spending a portioa of tba
winter South.
The occasion was an enjoyable one
and haa been Indelibly Impressed upon
the memory of thoeo present as an epoch
of rare and exauisite nleasure,
Early in the evening the guests began
to assemble, and they were most hos
pitably received by the boat and hostess.
The large and elegant parlor was bril
liantly lighted and handsomely deco
rated in . holly and bamboo, and one
single cluster of mistletoe wbioh swung
from the oentre of the ceiling, and un
derneath which the voung ladies
thought it dreadful to be caught very
dangerous, you know! It might fell on
them.
Those present from a diataace were
MUs Helen Br van and Messrs. W. D.
Pollock and Edward Barrett of Kin-
ston; Misses Eula and EttaNuqn, and
Messrs. Colin Hughes, W. P. Bryan
and E. . Harpei, of New Berne; and
Mr. J. Leary of Jonea county. From
the neighborhood were a large number
of ladies and gentlemen, prominent
among whom were Mis Lizzie Biddle,
the belle of Fort Barnwell; Messrs. Ed
ward and Albert Wadaworth and their
wives; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kinsey,
Sheriff Lane and daughter, and Mr.
iQooh Lane and daughter. Tne aus
picious gathering was a bappy one, and
far excelled the high anticipations that
had been in store. Mirth flowed freely ;
conversation and games were kept
going and amusement ran high. At!
10 o'clock a superb supper waa served
to the large concourse of merry-makers.
After the repast two violins dis
coursed their a wee est strains to the
time of f airdanoera, keeping every one
in a gleeful spirit.
We have neglected to state that
among1 the gamea introduced was one
called the "towel game." For shouts,
outbursts of applause and wild excite
ment, it surpasses anything we have
ever seen, we can's explain it. It
must be seen to be understood.
The whole affair was highly enjoyed
by ail the participants, who warmly
expressed their gratification at the
felicitous manner in which they had
been entertained.
Virginia Oyster Pirates.
The commissioners of Hyde county
report that the waters of that county
are full of Virginia oyster men engaged
violating the laws of the State. A
serioue difficulty ia reported to have
occurred at Hatterae sometime ago; and
recently a free fight in the southern part
of Pamlico sound. The arrest of one of
the depredators was attempted at Ports
mouth, but the constable waa driven
ashore. Schooners and aloopa are dredg
ing right and left. Negro toogeraaad
email boats from Norfolk are at work
on shoal water beds and apparently no
remedy oau , be , found for this repre
hensible condition of things. : North
Carolina spent a good deal pt, saoney ia
investigating its oyster grounds, but it
waa spout for ..the benefit of its own
citizens and to enqourage, not to destroy
its oyster industry. ' We had hoped to
oring tae packing ana canning nouses
to our oysters;,, but it seems that . the
oysters are to go to the packing and
canning houses, law or no law. Cannot

Last week's edition of the- Jlnglneer-
iag Newa says, In speaking of the ooa
strnotioQ, of 9,000 mllgg ol new railroad
during the year 188S:
-Tna talk or this year's construction
kaa been dona in. the South,' Over two
thousand, miles of the new lines re
ported to os lie south oj the latitude of
Cincinnati and . east of the Mississippi
river. Washington, however, ba had
the greatest inorease la railwaya of any
single Bute, 833 miles having been built
there In 1889. Georgia comes next
1th 815 miles and then follow North
Carolina with 879 miles. Texaa with
870 mites and Mississippi with 818 miles.
Sixteen other States report between one
hundred and two hundred miles."
It will be here observed that North
Carolina la holding its own very well
in the way of railroad progress and as a
result certain sections of our State are
on the high road to prosperity.
We are now invited to a place in this
progressive march and in one short
week by our own aot are to determine
bethet we will accept the invitation.
In connection with the New Berne
and Onslow Railroad, there Is a fact
that ia o( immense importance to us,
and It la 'that the cum spent in con
struction will be from tiro to our
hundred thousand dollars, a great pro
portion of which will be left in this
community. In our depressive business
oondition this will be a perfect
God -send. Thespendiagof this amount
now wilt be of double the value it
would be ip more prosperous times,
helping, not only to tide ever the dull
times, but leads up to and inaugurates
an era of prosperity.
Wetiave but to say the word and this
is ours; this ia the tide in our affairs
which now being at flood needs only to
betaken, to lead on to fortune; are we
wiee enough to see this ?
Fortune. and prosperity does not
knock at the door every day. asking for
admission, and it is the wise who can
recognize the visitors and invite them
to stay.
Our failure or refusal to take ad
vantage of the preeent proposition can
not be remedied in tbe future, beoause it
is more than probable that one line of
railway through Onslow and Jonea will
be auffloient for years, and with the
terminus and connection at Kinston
we will in all likelihood be utterly and
completely cut off from all trade with
that section. Can we afford this?
Could anything be more criminally
neglected than .to allow this golden
pportunity to eeoape ?
Frienda of the measure remember
that next Thursday week Is tbe event
ful day, and no effort should be spared
to arouse the people to a realization of
the importance of the question. Be up
and doing. Z.

A DOLLAR A DAT.
Work for Idle Men -Cash Customers
far Deserted Counters.
Eorroa Journal These are times of
great depression of trade, agriculture
and labor. Anything that can be
thrown into the channels of indnatry
and trade at this time would be of the
greatest imaginable benefit to the peo
ple, and all the interests of New Berne.
The work and expenditure of build
ing a railroad from New Berne to Jack
sonville, at this particular time, would
be a perfect godsend to the people
along the whole line.
New Berne ia aaked to give an im
petus to that work, and set it imme
diately going, by subscribing nrty
thousand dollars ot five per cent, thirty
year bonds in return for capital stock of
(baoompany.
Is hardly seems credible that any
laboring or busineaa man, or any prop
erty owner, would asy no to such a
proposition. But they do. There are
men in New Berne to vote against this
proposition, who could, by no possibil
ity, be called on to pay a hair dollar
more tax than they now pay. There
are thoee who will oppose it, who do
not now, and perhaps never will, pay
any tax.
Opposition to this scheme will corns.
in large part, not from reaaon that it
imposaa any or alight burdens, but
solely on aocount cf tbe fact that it is a
proposition to do something. Men are
so constituted, some of them, that tbsy
must oppose everything they do not
propose. Others ara moved by tbe
consideration that what is suggested
may benefit some one else more than
themselves. Some may be interested
in keeping tbe thermometer of process
down to zero. Others again are op
posed to everything, and in favor of
nothing;.
But a proposition to give men out of
work a chance to earn a dollar a dav ,
and a merchant without patrons cash
customers, must strike the real men of
a community as wise, beneficent and
proper. To such the verdict may safely
be left. irrizBN and taxpayer
