The T. M. C. A. Bible Class.
The Y. M. C. A. Bible class for young

Monday night. It is gratifying that the
attendance is being kept up so well.
The reading room is used by the class
from 7:80 to 8:80 every Monday night.
It would be well if the reading room
could be kept open to viators at all times
but since this is one of the most impor
tant parts of the work of the Aaiociation
it is necessary that this be done, there be
ing no other room in which the class can
meet.
Another gratifying feature of the work
is the interest displayed in the Sunday
afternoon devotional meetings. They are
interesting and the attendance is good.
Lnst Sabbath the room was filled.
The State Public Rond Congress.
Governor Holt's proclamation calls to
gether die State Public Road Congress in
Raleigh, Jan. 19tli 1893. This action was
taken upon the pres-ntation to him of the
views of fully two hundred citizens em
bracing Editors, Chairmen of the Board
of County Commissioners, Mayors of
towns, members of the legislature, far
mers, business men, and others, saying
the time and place was opportuc for the
discussion of matters pertaining to the
improvement of the public roads of the
State. The various Boards of County
Commissioners of the State have met and
appointed delegates, and as many as
counties have already reported names of
delegates to the committee of arrange
ments in Raleigh. Everything pointB to
meeting of great magnitude and im.
portant results are expected from their
deliberations.
The inauguration ceremonies of the
Governor-elect will be held on January
18, the day before the meetiug ol the
Road Congress, and very low railroad
rates are promised.
The Journal urges a very full atten
dance.
Let us have good roads.
'lone Guessing.
Mr. Josephus Daniel's paper the North
Carolinian, during the election offered
$100 in prizes to its subscribers who
guessed nearest the actual vote in North
Carolina for each of the four presidential
candidates. Mr. James R. Bell of Har
lowe, came the nearest to the vote
cast for Cleveland, and be has been made
the happy recipient of the promised
check for $25. Mr, Bell came within 59
votes of striking the vote. He
guessed 182,892 and Cleveland received
132,951.
Towards the close of 1891, the New
York World offered $1,000 in prizes to
those who should guess the nearest to its
average daily circulation for the year 18
92. If more than one guess came in for
winning number, the first received was to
be counted the successful one. The thous
and dollars was divided into 48 prizes
thus $500 for the first best, $200 for
the 2d, $100 for the 8d, and 40 prizes of
$5 each for those who came nearest to
these three.
The World has just published its circu
lation and list: of prizes winners with
their guesses. Mr. A. T. Stransbury,
of this city, was one who tried bis baud.
He guessed 880,499 and the circulation
was 880,500 jnst one more thau Mr.
Stransbury guessed.
One would have imagined that this
would have taken the $500 prize certain,
but astonishing as it may seem, 12 people
guessed the correct number exactly, and
over the required 48 came as close as
Mr. Stransbury did. However, he was
early enough to come in for one of the $5
prizes. He sent in his gueas, the first
part of December, and yet he was only
41st in the list of winners.Tliis looks as if
the American people as a whole possess
remarkable guessing qualities. Mr.
Stransbury was the only man in the South
who secured one ot the prizes.

WAYSIDE NOTES.
FROM
RET. EDWARD BULL
HIS FAIR TRIP.
ON
Wilmington, Hamlet and Southern
Pines The Orlglu of the New
Berne Fair.
We were at Raleigh in the last Satur
day of the old year, and found the storm,
which at New Berne had given us only
two or three inches of very poor snow,
had done much better there, both as to
quantity and quality, distributing well
nigh a foot of snow of a kind that would
pack and make a good sleigh path
Those who had a taste for sleigh riding
were enjoying it at prices ranging from
two dollars and a half to five dollars an
hour.
At the Capitol preparations were
making for the session of the Legislature,
soon to commence. Some ot the mem
bers had already come in, looking after
the chances which are said to attend the
"early bird.''
We paid our respects to our good
Governor Holt, for whom we have always
bad a very high regard. Time loui liis
him gently, and as be steps down and
out, he may, like Mr. Cleveland, confront
a condition if not a theory, and "eonie
again."
THE COAST LINK
gives excellent service good ro'id, good
cars, good time, and also good satisfac
tion. WILMINGTON
easily maintains its place, as the metrop
olis of the State. It claimed twenty-five
thousand population before 1890, but the
census takers only found a few more
than twenty thousand. It still claims
twenty-five thousand which is probably
now correct. Its deep water communica
tion by the Cape Fear river gives it great
natural advantages, and the climate is de
lightfnl. Many large square rigged ves
sels may usually be seen at her wharves,
and four cotton compresses, can prepare
millions of pounds of cotton for cargoes
in a brief time. It is alto a principal
market for naval stores. There arc many
fine buildings. The U. S. government
building is a solid and elegant structure
which cost a hundred and fiftyjthousand
dollars. The postoffice facilities are am
ple and excellent, both for the offices and
the public. The schools offer good
advantages for education.
Wilmington like several other large
towns in the Slate has a good school lor
the colored people. It is called thu
Gregory Institute, and is one of the
schools under the care of the American
Missionary Association of New York. It
was established in 1865, has a corps of
ten northern teachers, and more than
three hundred pupils. A Congregation
al church was organized in 1870, and has
a capable and worthy pastor and an or
derly and exemplary membership. The
Association has expended $125,000 about
one fifth of which has been paid in as tu
itlvn.
UAMLET.
We went to Hamlet, and were remind
ed of a remark by one ot our humorists,
that "mackerel is not a fish hut merely a
suggestion of a nsti. Hamlet is only the
sutrgestion ot a "hamlet, or speaking in
a shakespenan way, the ghost ot Hamlet
"They said" there a hundred people
there but that statement, is to he received
with a degree of caution, like the little
Sunday school girllwhose teacher asked
her, "Who was Moses ?" she answered,
"The son of Pharoah s daughter. "Oh
no," said her teacher. Pharoali's daughter
tounu bimin the arte ol bulrushes. I
know she said so" was the cautious replv
But they have some excellent vineyards
and raise fine grapos about Hamlet, and
as it is a railroad crossing, where there
are good lines of travel, passengers tele
graph ahead for meals, and often twenty
or thirty get off and refresh the inner
man.
SOUTHERN PINES.
Everylody has heard of Southern
Pines. It is a newly projected town,
sixty-eight miles, a little west of south
from Raleigh, on the Raleigh and Augus
ta road. It is a high and dry location,
of equable temperature, and has acquired
reputation as a health resort. It is regu
larly laid out and looks well on paper,
and shows up finely in passing on the
train. There is not as extensive and
solid a body of pine trees as one might
expect from the name, in tact they arc
"conspicuous by tbeir absence." The
streets are broad and called some of
them after the names of Northern
States. Thcro are four hotels, good ones.
and a few good residences, post-ofiicc,
stoves and churches. The rensuj taker
returned a population of eighteen hun
dred. We met a former resident of New
Berne, Mr. Geo. Allen, who had left
Salem, Va., to cast in his lot with the
le of Southorn Pines. lie is con
nected with parties who have under con
sideration the erection of a "big hotel"
say $70,000. The site is already
selected and is a beautiful location, com
manding a beauti ml prospect. The hotel
is coming a week or two will decide as
to its immediate erection. When built
it will be an attractive place for those
whq,are seeking health or pleasure, or a
retreat from the rigors of a northern cli
mate.
TBS IBW BURNS TA.1R.
It mar not be amiss to make mention
hers of Mr. Allen in his connection with
the New Berne Winter Fair1 aa its' first
president. Mr. Nnnn, then the Editor of
the JotrajtAX, desired very much the
inauguration of a Fair. After considera
ble talk and think, a preliminary meeting
was appointed. There were present,
Mr. Allen. Hr. Knnn ana lour others.
Mr. Nunn had the matter much at heart,
and was greatly depressed. Mr. Allen
didn't sea snvthlnirto be discouraged
about. . He called the meeting to order,
was elected president, and about a dozen
oommitteea were appointed good men
and true. Tne "proceedings" were pub-'
lished in lbs next morning's Jotouiai
and ths committees requested to orgenize
at once, and go to work. . The result was
ths first fair, held on the Academy green,
every way a success, as good a Fair in
many respects as any Which baa has fol
lowed with all its growth and expan.
sion. Mr. Allen turned over six hun
dred dollars as the proceeds, and stepped
down and out and our excellent presi
dent. Mr. Wm. Dunn, reigned in his
stead. This is a chapter of hitherto un
written history probably very few know
how really it came of failing to matera
lize. The soil at Southern Pines is very light,
and will take fertilizers indefinitely. It
seems to be well adapted to bring fruits
and vegetables forward very early. There
are many vineyajds and orchards planted,
and a few fruits have been marketed at
very satisfactory prices. All the talk
now is about Keifer and LeComptc
pears, Niagara and Delaware grapes.
Abundance plums, Wilson blackberries,
red and black raspberries, peaches and
strawberries. B.
