Water Works Pips Laylsg Began
The work of laying the water-works
works pipe commenced yesterday with a
small force which will be iucreased today
to fifty. The start was made on East
Front Street exactly at the W. N. A N.
depot. , ; : . .
The work will be extended directly on
down that street to Broad then up Broad
and elsewhere. The working force will
be kept together, not separated into di
visions at different points.
At the stags to which the work baa
now advanced it will not take very long
to complete the system. .
J. W. Mesle sad Bis Improvements.
Mr. J. w. Meslc's store now has one'of
the prettiest fronts of any on Commercial
Row. -.
: The front has been changed to slope
inward giving room (or outside display
of stock and the windows and door com
bined present a full length glass front
The painting is almost finished each
window has been daintly lettered in
colors aod another sign is abtve the door
in addition to tbe regular one hanging
over the sidewalk. These . things make
the exterior present a bright and inviting'
appearance and the anticipations raised
tbtreby are realized when the store is
entered; Mr. Mesio carries a good stock, r
We are glad to see that , he pulled
through the financial straits ? which came
upon him recently with - eatisi'actioo to
his creditors and wi h credit to himself.
Though forced, by not being able to raise
certain money Just at the time he needed
it, into making an assignment, there was
no compromisinif with his creditors. -
H had more than assets enough to settle,
everything be . owed and . be honorably
arranged to pay dollar for dollar. .
Through : all the -financial! depression
that has swept over the whole country
this is the only assignment there lias been
in New Berne. " v; ! j
That there has not been any more and
that it ended so well is a vry creditable
showing for the city, 1 ; ' ' :
fTe are glad to see Mr. Mesio resume
ith a good prospect before him, - . .

Sewers re Service Will Soon Cease.
Tbe work oajtbe sewerage system
which baa been suspended for same
months has not yet been resumed bat
now that the water works will soon be
in operation it may be looked for the re
mainder of the work on the former
(which is mainly to connect tbe mains
with tbe places wanting the service) to
be done at an early day as the water
works will furnish the neded water for
flushing the sewers as often as may be
necessary.
Tlis water works and the sewerage are
two good improvement"; Hi convenience
of each will be duly a i k iatod.
Iatroeselng the Home Comfort Range.
Mr. Wm Dunlen an I ute a number
of business am 'r hive arrived to in
troduce In New Berne and surrounding
country embracing several counties a
range which from personal inspection
strikes us very favorably. It is the
Home Comfort Wrought Iron Range, No.
M, of St. Louis, Mo. Alter making an
examination we departed with a much
higher opinion ol it than we expected to
acquire when we began tlit Inveslignt
ion.
Unquestionably the range is very sub
stantially built. It is constructed o1
malleable iron aod steel, snd tbe range
and ilr. several parts admit of repeated
strung blows and rough usage, which
would make an onliuary stove lit only
for scrap iron we saw this tested.
The same can be said of the ware the
cooking utensils are ot ma'.leahle iron aud
steal, coated with English granite, miking
them very atrong and durable.
The range appears to he constructed
throughout on aounl principles, so as to
be easy in operation and to possess every
convenience wanted in the wav of wattr
reservoir, warming closets, shelves Ac.
Ami, it seems to I oar out the good
name expected from its appearance for it
was awarded two first premiums at the
World's Fairone for bein ' so construct
ed as to give increased strength and
durability and the other for x ullence ol
design, and first class material and
workmanship.
Eivlit men and two ladies compose
the party that have arrived to n-ork with
Mr. Darden iu cauvnssing for the ranges.
They work with five sample wagons and
three delivery wu01"1. Mr- Darden
tells us they expect to remain in this
vicinity about three months.
"Do Unto Others as Ton Would Have
1 hem do Unto Ton."
Ed. Journal The bsd manners of
some peop'e arelbeyond, belief and did one
not experience tbe annoyance of them on
all sides, one would be skeptical in re
gard to them.
Mr. Jodbnal. you gee this yourself
nearly every, day at the post office one
can get his mail from hi j box without
being jostled, crowded and jammed it is
delightful and gives one a highly traintd
business air; to take one's letters oue by
one from his box and read them care
fully and then place back such ss do not
need attention till morning; when one is
carefuliy noting the fine points of his
correspondence people try to shoulder
him away from his open box, in their
greedy haste to get at their own boxes;
while, had they only the complaisance
to wait half an hour or more tbey need
not be guilty ofthe impoliteness of dis
placing one already in positioa at the
boxes, to tbe utter disregard of the rights
of the first comer; who, having the pre
cedence, should be allowed to bold it
just as long -as would be necessary to
read an nit letters ana papers.
One may sometimes have a cane or
umbrella with him and of course has to
place it under bis arm that he may at
tend to his box; now in this case the in
considerate crowders in upon him, get in
the way of it and poke it into their eye,
orjot'ner portion or the anatomy and one
baa to be placed in the anomalous
position of apologizing to another for
that others own badvertance or heedless
ness; not to say clumsiness.
One cannot even carry cane or um
brella under his arm on the street, with
out having tome one run against it or
get in tbe way of it, especially if one
partially turns to say "howdy" to a friend.
When will a miscellaneous crowd
learn to respect the rights of tbe indi-
vmuai. . . qrjis.
