CAROLINA BEACH.
This Delightful Summer Resort Again
in Capable Hands.

in Capable Hands.
We notice with pleasure that Capt.
Robert A. jenkins. of Winston, will
have charge Of the Oceanic Hotel at
Carolina Beach, near Wilmington,
again this season. He conducted it
with success to himself and great sa it's
faction to his patrons last summer, and
those who have been guests of his
know what is in store for them when
they visit Carolina Beach during the
approaching heated term.
Owing to the meeting of the South
ern Baptist Convention in Wilmington
Capt. jenkins opened the hotel on
the 5th inst, instead of the 18th, as
previously advertised, aud so will be
prepared to accommodate guests from
now on through the season. To those
who have been to Carolina Beach moth
ing need he said. There is no finer
beach on the Atlantic seacoast, and as
a perfect health and pleasure resort it
can not be surpassed. Everything that
would tend to distract the rest or pleas
ure OF guests is eliminated, yet at the
same time it is in direct Geographic,
railway aud steamboat communication
with the world, making it an ideal re-
sort for all who need that quiet which
will build them up in mind and body.
That the comfort and pleasure of guests
of the Oceanic will, at all times, be
carefully looked after, and the table be
supplied with the best obtainable from
land and sea, the fact that Capt. Bob
jenkins is proprietor is sufficient guar
antee.

A Talented Young Preacher.
Rev. James Arthur, a student of
Hampden Sidney Theological Seminary,
preached in the Presbyterian church
here Sunday. He had good congrega-
tons to hear him and both sermons
elected warm words of praise. And
justly so, for Mr.. Arthur showed HIM
self to be a man Of rare talents and
true eloquence. He preached in the
morning from the text There go the
Ships" and at night ''Now we see
through glass darkly," sc.
Both were fine efforts and while the
morning sermon, Astounding as it did
in apt illustrations, beautiful SMILES
and pleasing metaphors, would doubt
less strike the average audience more
favorably, the one at night was the
stronger and ADLER Of the two. 1t
showed greater depth of thought,
broader sweep of the intellectual fac
ulties, higher range Of the descriptive
powers, and was More solid and meaty
in character. If the one was grand,
the other was great, and either would
have done credit to n much older and
more experienced man.
Mr.. Arthur is but % years Of age
and only this week entered the senior
class. He is a native Of Ireland and
came to America TO educate himself
for the ministry. That he has bright
future before him no one who has heard
him preach or been much in his COM
pany will doubt. He breaches entire
ly without notes but is never at loss
for the proper word with which to ex-
press himself. possessing the quality Of
eloGuence as we'll as the gift of flu
ency.
