Dear Ws;-Work on Mr., W.
i. Pikeas new store is now going on
rapidly.
Several of our citizens "took in"
the excursion to Norfolk last week.
Mr.. John E. Edmundson, who
has been in the grocery business here
for the past eight months, has moved
his stock of goods to Fremont and
will open store at that place in a
few days, and add dry goods to his
stock. We wish you much success,
John.
Mr.. n. j. House, of Kinston,
Democratic elector for this district,
spoke here last Friday. So also did
Messrs. G. S. Wooten, B. F. Aycock
and DIR. W. P. Exum. There was
quite large crowd in attendance.

For Register of Deeds,

Mr. Editor. Not being in accord
with the way campaigns have been
conducted in Wayne county, feel "a
delicacy in attempting to bring for
ward the name of any friend for
Office in the coming contest; howev-
er, as we need men-manly men,
who never press their claims for po-
sitions of honor, trust and profit, |
desire to place before the people at
their next county convention, for
the Office of Register of Deeds for
this county, the name of q man
whose modesty has long kept him in
the background; one who is no
ofhce-seeker and is no stranger to
the people, but if nominated would
give us winning ticket-that man
is Josiah S. Cox, Of Grantham's 5
tow nship. Mr.. Cox has been q
faithful Democrat, lover of the
Alliance principles, and would do Us
much rs any man to bring all fac
tions together to the support of an
honest administration.
Mr.. Cox does not seek the nomi-
nation, which adds greatly to his
fitness and should give him strength
with the masses. We believe in the
Office seeking the man.
Respectfully,
"NoLENs."

by the way, is complete master Of this

Whitley exhibited his skill in man..

of ladies and gentlemen assembled;
his changes from gay to grave pas
sages, from the deepest diapason to

him at perfect ease in his position; and
proved the wisdom Of the committee
in selecting an instrument that pon-
tains SO many beautiful effects and

Mr.. Whitley can be secured to pre-
side at the organ on Sunday, in or
der that the congregation may get
the full benefit of this magnificent
instruments scope and power under
his skilled hand.

sentatives are at present controlled
by different political parties, no
partisan legislation, with the ex-
ception ola budget of seperate
tariff bills, was attempted, and
none has been placed upon the
statute books. Both branches of
the National Legislature, therefore
were compelled under the circums
stances to content themselves with
the passage of the regular appro-
priation bills for the support of the
government and only such other
legislation as seemed to be de-
manded by the public interest.
The most important feature OF
the federal appropriations, which
amount to $50O,O0O,OOO, as against
$393, ,456, ,248 for the corresponding
first session of the FiftysFirst Con
gress, were the grants for the pays
ment of pensions. The amount
granted at this session for the fse
cal year that began on July 1st
was $145,737, ,45O, and in addition
to this sum, $7.674,332 was given
on June 7th to supply deficiencies
in the appropriations for pensions
for the last fiscal year, ending
June Both, thus making $155, ALI
6S3 devoted to this object alone.
Touching appropriations, the
ports and waterways of the South
have been well cared for in the
river and harbor bill, which was
passed in the House under the lea-
dership of Hon. Newton CBlanche
ard, of Louisiana, chairman of the
committee on rivers and harbors,
and in the Senate under the lead
ership of Hon. William 2. Frye,
of Maine, chairman of the commit
tee on commerce. It directly ap~
propriates $21, 1,153, ,6fS, and author

tered into involving S31, ,76O,521,

A very strange case was
recently heard in a Vienna
police court. A monomaniac,
who was formerly a well-to. do
baker, had ruined himself by a
mania for collecting handker-
chiefs.
At the commencement of the
pursuit of his singular hobby
used to pay as much as "a or

devotion to this fad brought
him to poverty. He then fell
to stealing.
At length he was apprshend-
ed, and ON search being made
by the police in his apartments
"a collection of 1874 of these
articles was found, all classified
according to the special per
fumes with, which they had
been scented.
