THEsPIANs Our Thespian Corps is
busily drilling for another entertainment
which will be presented to the public on
next Tuesday night, the 27th inst
The piece they propose to play is the ro-
mantle and thrilling drama of Chick of
the Woods, or Kentucky in Oldcn Times, ;"
dramatized from DR.. Birds Celebrated
Novel of that name. The first of the sea-
son gave such general satisfaction that a
full house may be expected on the occasion
of the next.

1t is now conceded on all hands
that the late democratic victory in the
northwest effectually kills the necessi-
ty of a third term" candidate in 1879.
General Sherman is now the only
pope of the radical party, unless he
declares himself democrat.
The Southern Outrage business
didn't pay very we'll in Ohio and In
diana, did it? 1t begins to look as if
the demagogues and dead-beat poll
tlcions, who have been living on the
hatred engendered by a war which
was ended nearly ten years ago, had
at last reached the end of their rope.

RELIGIOUS REvIyAL.-This is now the
third week since series of religious meet
ings was commenced at Noble's Store, in
this county, and still the interest seems I'M
abatcd. The feeling seems to pervade the
entire community and our informant states
that in extcnsity and general interest it
exccls anything ever known in the county,
one Of those periods that come but occa-
sionally and are epochs in history About
twenty persons have professed conversion
and numerous others are deeply serious on
the subject of religion. The exercises have
nearly three weeks by Rev. Mr.. Dodson,
Pastor Of the NJ f. Church at this place,
without any clerical assistance whatever.

COTTON NMARKET.-Tarboro claims now
to be one of the best cotton markets in the
United States. We heard shrewd and
close-calculating merchant say few days
ago. that when by course of trade cotton
came into his hands he sold it here rather
than in any northern market, although he
did not have to pay full commissions We
hope buyers will direct more attention to
our town as cotton market and that we
may soon have our farmers keeping their
cotton at home and making with home
merchants the same arrangements that they
have been accustomed to make abroad.

EDGECoNBE AT THE STATE FAIR. Edge
combe was well represented at the recent
State Fair. 1t Is true it had but few, if
any, agricultural or household products,
but then it had some fast horses, certainly
ranking at least second best, and lot of
as captivating ladies as any upon the
grounds, The number of people too from
Edgecombe was perhaps greater than from
any other county except some one adjacent
On Thursday Hope and Bowlegs, two Of
the most popular racers upon the Runny-
mede turf, came off victors. Bob Lee, we
heard, was considered two fast for the
race he proposed to enter and was ruled
off.
Upon the whole Edgecombe fully held
her hand at the last State Fair

ELoPEMENr IN HIGH LIFE.-Thc elite of
the Tarboro colored people were much ex-
cited last week, by the elopement of Squire
Taylor and the step-daughter of James E.
Simonson. Simonson and his wife seemed
to be very much opposed to the match and
tclegraphed to have their daughter arrested.
On Monday they heard she was at Weldon
and one of them went on and finally pre-
vailed on her to return, which she
did expecting to have been mar
ried to Taylor on Wednesday night
in the Colored Episcopal Church of this
place, but something happened to pre-
vent. When we reflect that Taylor is
Chief Justice of Tarboro, we wonder at
the opposition shown him by the parents
of the bride.

WELDON FA1R.-We spent Wednesday
at the Weldon Fair. The crowd in attend
ance was, We presume, about what it usu-
ally is on Wednesday, Thursday being the
big day of the Fair. The racing was fine,
and Edgecom1e horses, Hope and Bowlegs,
gained fresh laurels. The agricultural de-
partment we thought defective, and the
mechanical department was not 50 full as
usual, We were glad to notice specimens
of native hay, clover and timothy, on ex-
hibition. We hope the exhibition will be
handsomely rewarded, that others may be
stimulated to its production.
The weather on Wednesday was fine, the
rain on Saturday having laid the dust to a
great extent, and the people seemed to en-
joy the occasion with Zeast The Scotland
Neck Cor11et Band was in attendance AID
added much to the general pleasure by their
pleasant music.

very short time. 1t would certainly be a
great Lonetit to the section of country
through which the road Will pass, as well
as to Raleigh and the Western portion of
the State, should it be built, and we hope
every encouragement VIII be given the en-
terprise whenever the projectors under
take the work and satisfy the people that
it is bona fide scheme.
