Numbers of friends were at the train to see them off and strong regret at parting was plainly manifested. . A case of love at first sight and a hur ried marriage between a man 73 and a girl 23 is reported in the press. By an over ight the exact amount of cash owned bv the groom was omitted. The pair of horses on trial for the Atlantic engine have made a favorable imprussion in appearance. They are heavy dark bays, almost chestnuts, and are very docile and easily managed. A row occurred at Pactolu9 in Pitt county on Christinas day between some negroes. Dan Hartv was shot in the head by Henryj Miller. The mur derer was captured and placed in jail. Tue new year will be here Monday which we hope may brin;; a business change for the better. A good season among the truckers is one or the best means of bringing alaiut the change in this section . The appearance of the brilliant young violmibt, Miss OUie Torbett. accampanied by the Sweedish sextette, will be one of the finest musical treats sincejthe McGib- eny family.

The Class of People that are (ienera'ly ont of Employment. Oneofour exchanges gets pretty near the real causes why so many people through ont the country generally aicont f employment. Of onrsc it is not true in all cases, but It tits a great many , and you do not have to go out of New Bcine lo tiud some of them cither. We quote from the writer. "1 seldom find anv bo.lv out of work xcept those who are looking lor some thing that tin y are inco opetent to per- torni. A man who is alile to adapt In m -himself to circumstances and takes any job which oilers is never out of employ incut, and it is only lor a short time a! must that he is obliged to do anything thai is really benefit his ability. As soon as he demonstrates to his cm ploycr his lisncss t'nr a higher position, he is sure to be promoted. Those nlio aspire to something almve their ability how ever, are very numerous. Many of these are actually ignorant ot of the fact that they are unqualified for the kind of work they are seeking. It would be a mercy to many such men if some one would tell them kindly that their seacch is in vain, because other men are better qualified to perform the duty they ispire to than themselves, and will therefore be preferred. There is many a man who would make an exccllen' port er that Iriltcrs away his lile as a lame ex cuse for a book keeper." Ololdsboro's Papir School. The last iss:e of the Round Table, we consider the best one we have seen. This is the Educational Paper proceed ing from the (ioldsboro Graded school conducted by the teichers actively en gaged in prolcssionable work and giving productions of pupils. The statistical matter relating to the school, the history of the building, I ho library, wherebouts and occupations of former pupils and matter of local history show manifest industry in research, and the articles are well written and very interesting. The paper would be a decided credit even to a college much more to a public school. During the past year sixty-one persons were killed on railways in this State and 362 injured. There were 11,840 railway emyloyes in the State. Agents are in New Yoi k and Pennsyl vania enlisting men for the Brazilian war. They have not reached North Carolina yet. Both Corbelt and Mitchell have been arrested in Florida. The arrest was made to teit the validity of the state law rela to glove contests. The Duval Club is still confident that the light will take place. In a recent graduating class at Amherst College, it was founa that the non-users of tobacco had gained twenty-four per cent in weight, tbirty-seven per cent in lieighth, forty-two per cent in chest girth and had eight cubic inches greater lung capacity than the users of the wed. The city authorities are endeavoring to keep the streets presentable, but un less they are aided by the citizens, it is almost a hopeless task to keep them in good condition. It is the duty of the owner of all property to keep the side walk fronting his place in order and free from trash or other unsightly garjage. At Greensboro Thursday the revenue collector seized eighteen casks of contra band whiskey, containing in all 733 gal lons. This liquor was shipped' by a dealw at Shore, N. C.

I'pon the soil of our State we have a monument on Guilford Court House bat tie ground; that ever memorable battle was the turn in the tide of conquest that threatened to overflow our land. We have also one erected to the great and good Caswell. The purchase of the spot upon which Raleigh's settlement was made and the erection thereon of a monument within sight ol the mighty Ocean, which he loved so web, and upon whose bosom hcjucliiev ed much of his greatness, will be a fitting tribute paid by a great people to the memory of a great man. Professor D ues has bsen selected for a praiseworthy task, he well deserves the thanks of every true North Carolinian for the efforts he is making to carry out the project; and we are proud that he is a native of New Berne. J. Havens. DUd From the Effect. The Suiithfield Herald gives the lol- lowing item: It will be remembered that we gave an account of the killing by lightuing of Sir. John VV. Holley aud his wile in Bentousville townihip last August. Mrs. Lydia Holley was in the house at the time. She was knocked sensless and badly shocked by the lightning. The shock caused an abrasion on her left leg. The place began to inflame, swelled, and after suffering for over three months, she died November 17th in the 61st year of her age, ncarAntioch church.
