Tonight's Entertainment.
All New Berne ia proud of the Bpy
Band and they deserve enooaragment
to better equip thsmselves, but no one
need think that the entertainment to-
night relies for patronage on that fact
lone. ; Full value will be rendered for
every oent reoeived.
Though it is but roceitly that I
the : entertainment has been an
nounoed to the publio, prepare. I
tionsfor it have been in progress for
some time and all concerned nave
worked hard for it. It ia something
new, out of the usual style, nioely got-
ten np and will be a very oreditable
enteitainment and pleasing from be-
ginning to end.
Tickets are on sale at Green's drag

Christmas Trees, etc.
The Disciples Sunday school lead the
way this year in Christmas celebrations
for the children. They have a Christ
mas tree this afternoon at 8 o'clook.
The Presbyterians have theirs tonight.
They will assemble at 7 o'clock in the
ohurch and exercises will be held con
sis ting of Christmas carols, responsive
reading and a brief talk by Mr. H. A,
Banks, of Asheville, after whioh the
sohool will tepair to the lecture room
where the tree will be in readiness and
the presents will there be distributed.
All are invited to attend.
The Methodists have introduced a
new feature, instead of a tree tiey
will have a "fishing party" in Stanly
Hall next Tuesday night.
The Baptists will also have an enter
tainment and distribution of presents to
the children of their sohool the same
night.
To the Boys.
The oity officials give warning to the
boya that no fire-arms or fire-works
must be fired in the vioinity of ohurchea
during the hours of service. Another
suggestion to the frolicsome youngsters
may not be inappropriate at this time.
We are fi lends of the little people, and
no one .loves to see them enjoy them
selves better than we do, but they
should all early learn to distinguish
between fun and rudeness. Trying
puU upon passers Dy is not permn-
sible, though on lively oocasions there
is a tendency to indulge in suoh. We
saw one oase where a? fire-cracker was
purposely thrown directly in front of
the faoe of horse boing driven by,
rendering it diffioult for a time to con
trol him. To say nothing of the pos
sible harm that might result from such
an unseemly notion, it is an unwar
ranted inoivilitv of which no well-
mannered, right-thinking boy would be
guilty.

The citizens of New Berne are glad to

annual visit, Professor Daves. He, like
many another New Bernean, finds that
as the cares of this world increase, and
hopes of the other world grow brighter,
the place called home, New Berne, be-
cornea dearer year by year.
Many of our citizens know how
mindful he is ever of the honor of our
oity, and of the honor paid to her, re
garding her as one of the historic cities
of Amerloa, whose history is to be
studied and whose traditions are ven
erated. Prof. Davea is among the first eohcl-
ars in America in the field of belles-
letters, and baa won for himself the
high title, of which Agassiz was proud-
eit among his many distinctions, that of

soholar and grace and wit as a leoturer
wrrrants us in expecting a delightful
entertainment.

We stated- in a previous ox-smunica-
Ition, Hirdy B, Croom married the
daughter of Nathan Smith of Newborn.
Subsequently he moved to that town
from Lenoir count, his dwelling being
on the lot where ia now the fine and
handsome house of Mrs. Elijah EilU
We sat near William, Mr. Croom's cod
at school, whon. wo were both small
boys and remember, him as being chub
by, generous And, affable. Ills death
has heretofore -been related. Ia the
legal contest for the property between
the Grooms and Smiths, which after thy
wreck of the "Home 'extended through
a term of years, it turned upon tr.e
point of whioh one of thu family was
the longest survivor and it wan provtu
to be William, thus the Smiths wua auJ
thereafter resided in Florida.
It was at the house of Mr. Smith, the
father-in-law of Mr. Groom, so sai.i
Moses Kennedy, the body servant of
John Stanly at the time and until hit
master's death, that, the difficulty oc
curred whioh led to tho duel nnd tno

Judge Gaston's, In tbis hou:o too,
Stanly was born, then ihe property and

mansion of Dr. James B. Uughex. Tin
old wooden dwelling ia which ilvi.
were ooourrences of 60 much i:.mor-
tance to those occupying it, their rela

accidentally destroyed by lire aomn
years before tho war. Mrj. fcs.inih 4
grand-daughter on the night of i:n ins

years. He lived to be very old. Wa
have a letter written by himself and his
photograph. He read regularly anil
closely the newspapers, taking a deep
interest in and keeping up with passing
events. The elder citizens of Mewhern
are aware of the oonlidence reposed in
him by Mr. Stanly, who had Moses
emancipated many years before his
deatn. ihe aigmned manners or me
master the servant never attempted to
imitate. But his example of huuesty
and truthfulness, politeness and fu
tility were never forgotten and gamed
for Moses the respect of every clasd of
our citizens, tie risKod nimseii lor

term them "our peoule" beyond thn
federal lines. Not the presence of the
Hon. Edward Stanly, when thero in
authority, could allure him to Iowbcrn
not until ne oould accompany our

young master did not forget the faith

In bis will Mr. Stanly left him a com

Moses affirmed so far from his master,
John Stanly, advising Thomas Btanly to
fight Mr. Henry, as has been coutmual

when the quarrel commenced ana was
not cognizant of.it until advised of his
brothers' death.
Thomas Stanly ihe bad roared as if a
son their mother and rather ojing
when the younger Stanly was a little
child. But it is not probablo if the
misunderstanding between Stanly and
Henry had oocurred at Judge Gaston s
it would have been allowed, for so
trivial cause, to have had its melon
oholy termination. It will be recollected
Mr. Graham who waa tne second ci
John Stanly in the duel with Governor
Spaight, was the uncle of Henry and
(iaston and tne eider seamy were inti
mate, personal and political friends-
The principals In the quarrel were both
very young men, one studying law with
his uncle and the other wi.a his broth

the field for less oause. The honor of
neither was involved, Moses Btated on
his masters return he met his brother
James G. Stanly and his first words
were "Why did you not stop the boya t '
They were beyond his reach before he
knew the obieot of their absence irom
Newbern and hence the impossibility.
