proves the practice of young ladies go

Memorial day in Charlotte was OBJ
served by parade, with the usual
floral decoration of the graves. Mr..
Frank |. Osborne delivered an appro-
pirate Grafton. Mrs. I. W. Dewey's ;
poem, written for the occasion, was
read by Mr.. j. L. Chambers, and is
very highly spoken of. Memorial
day in Fayetteville was celebrated by
the usual ceremonies, includinga a most
eloquent address from Rev. + W.
Eason, eulogistic of the Confederate
soldier.
Mr.. B. r. Smiths majority in
Charlotte was 43. instead of 16, as
stated. We have heard some funny
stories about the zeal displayed on
both sides Gt was not a party fight;
but they say ''everything is fair in
war, love, and 'lectioneerins. The
Wilmington Star tells of an energetic
chap. who, having heard that the city
cattle weigher was dead, ran himself
nearly to death to '.see the Mayor, 7
and get the '''pintment" After all
the t'other fellow wasn't dead, and a
large amount of breath was wasted
for naught.
