LoUIsBURG ITEMS.

The town shows many signs Of i'm
provement.
The BANNER ENTERPRISE is liked
by all classes here.
A large crowd will visit the Fair
from this place next Fall.
The ladies' are making many things
for exhibition ut the Fair.
The farmers here will carry to the
Fair some fine stock.
We hope that every man in the
county will vote for the railroad.
Railroad is all the talk. Men,
women and children sing railroad all
the day long.
The crops in the county n most
excellent and the farmers are busy
keeping their fields clean Of grass.
The health of the town was never
better, no sickness Of a serious ma
ture. The town is one of the most
healthy in the State.
There is no county in the State
where capitalists desiring to invest
money to advantage in all p%srticu-
lars, as Franklin. Good lands with
the finest timbers in the world, and
water facilities are better than any
State in the Union. Let the capi-
talists come to Franklin to invest
their money proftably, for We will
soon have a railroad through the
heart of the county.
The Baptist Sabbath school had a
picnic at Rufin's Grove, about n
and a half miles from the town. A
large crowd attended and all had .
good time ; plenty of "nick nacks' of
all kinds, and chicken, ham, biscuit,
cake, candy, lemonade. The scholars
and their friends dispersed in knots
through the woods and enjoyed them
selves splendidIy, some swinging and
Jumping rope, some playing leap frog,
and in various ways. Besides the
children, several of the elder people
were present and Joined the chill
dren in their merriment. Mrs. X.
v. Marlborough, Miss Amanda Dent
and several others whose names we
cannot now remember, managed the
whole affair. Among those present
were Rev. Joshua Perry, Rev. r. H.
Armstrong and lady, and several
Others. The occasion was a success
and was enjoyed admirably by the
children and all present, and when
the time came for the closing Of these
exercises many we're sorry. Among
those who took a delightful share in
these pleasures was the BANNER En-
rERPRlsE man. He tried to eat as
much a. the two reverend gentlemen
present but could not.

Fechtcr,s PIny OF Monte Crlsto.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 2.-Judge Pierce
to-day refused to grant an injunction asked
for by Mrs. Elizabeth Fechter widow and ad-
ministratrix of the late Charles Fechter, the
we'll known actor and dramatist, to restrain
John Stetson from producing the drama Of
Monte Cristo at Haverly's theater tonight.
Mrs. Fechter claimed that the drama had
been prepared by Fechter, and that he had
left copy of it in Boston, which had subso-
quently been sold to Stetson by Manager
Cheney, of the Boston Globe theater, for an
insufficient consideration. Ailidavits were
presented, however, showing that Mr.. Fechter
had been fully paid by Mr. Cheney for his
dramatizaton of the novel of Monte Cristo,
and that it was included in the bill Of sale
when Mr.. Stetson purchased the Globe
theater, of Boston, from Mr.. Cheney.
