Institute will come off on Tuesday
and Wednesday, May 31st and June
1st. Our gifted and eloquent towns
man Mr.. G. B. Aycock will deliver

Mrs. Geo. W. Butler and children
have arrived from far off Brazil, to
spend some time at the home of Mrs.
Butler in this city. where her many
friends greet her return with great
pleasure. Rev. DIR. Butler accompa
MED them as far as New York, where
he was detained on business for a

TRE concert in the Messenger OPP
era House Friday evening, with
which the State Colored Normal
School concluded its years work in
this city, was indeed most credita-
BILE entertainment alike to the corps
of teachers of the institution and
the pupils who sustained the lengthy
programme in a manner that made
the whole replete with interest.
THERE have several orphans ar
rived at the Odd Fellows Orphans
Home, just opened near this city,
and the little ones are being
cared for and cultured with
thoughtful and kindly super
vision by Superintendent Whitfield
that mark him thus early in his new
charge as the right man for the re-
sponsible position. God bless the
orphans, and prosper their new
home in our midst always.
HE young people of our city in
goodly numbers, ladies and gentle
men, were informally entertained by
Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. OBJ. Robinson
Friday evening, and the delightful
hours were spent in round of en-
joyments that made them speed only
too quickly away. Conversation,
music, singing, dancing and the
serving of refreshing delicacies of
the season were the complement Of
the evenings entertainment,
IN order to make more convenient
and economical use of the vessels
now employed in the North Carolina
service, and thus to better serve the
interests of shippers, the Clyde Line
and Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany have concluded to merge their
respective lines between Newbern,
N. c., and Norfolk, Va, into one
line, thus giving passengers and truck
shippers four trips each week be-
tween Newbern and Norfolk direct.
This has been done without any ad-
vance in rates, and will prove of
great benefit to the shippers of this
city over the A. & N. G. r. r, to and
from the North.
