Some Good Advice.

The following, from the pen of the
editor of exchange will apply to Nor
gantown and her citizens would do
well TO follow the example;
THE best way to build up town is
to stand by every man in the place who
does right. Whenever man is doing
we'll do not tear him down. All resi-
dents should be partners, not oppos
nentS. In all liyelihoods the more bus
mess your rival does, the more you
will do. Every business man who
treats his customers honestly. courte-
ously and fair will get his share, aud
the more business that can be secured
by united effort the better ii will be
for all. When town ceases To grow
it begins to die and more PEOPLE try
TO kill each other in their business the
more readily will utter ruin come 20
all. Stand together for the advance
ment of every citizen. Ifa man shows
ability to prosper do not pull him back
through jealousy, or weigh him down
through cold indifference.

A Seal Captured in the Cape Fear

Yesterday morning at the fish house
of MessrS. Fales & Nixon, in Front
Street Market lane, a seal, measuring
four and a half feet, and weighing sew
enty pounds, was exhibited, and seen
by many people during the day. What
made the viewing of the seal doubly
interesting was the fact hat it was
captured in the Cape Fear river al
Fort Anderson, seventeen miles from
the city.
The capture was made in a shad net
Saturday night about 9 o'clock by
Messrs. Elijah Todd and Manning
Holt, who brought it to the city yes
terday morning and carried it to the
fish house of Messrs. Fales & Nixon,
where it was purchased for Sc by Mr..
Samuel ear. The animals skin was
removed and will be cured, while the
carcass will be made to yield oil.
1t is very rarely that seals are seen
in this country, as they inhabit the
COO and rigid regions, and many
theories have been advanced account
ing for it being in our waters.
The seal killed itself in vain endeav-
ors to escape from the shad net.

ASSAULTED WHILE PRAYING.

Dfsgraceful and Outrageous ID Las
Night at the Union BaptIs. Church,
| Minister Cursed and Assaulted In TIT
| Temple of God
In a temple Of God last night Edgar
| Mfntz, a young white man knocked a
minister Of the gospel down, while the
dvne was praying for soul of rs
a~ssailant. The story, which Il true, and
it is youched for by nearly a score OF
follows:
Last night services were held in the
Union Baptist church, corner Eight
and Dawson streets and were con-
thews.
While the service was in progress a
number Of young men, seated in the
rear Of the edifce, commenced to talk
and otherwise disturb the worship.
Rev. Mr. Matthews shook his finger in
the direction from whence came the
noise and ~admonished the young
men.
Shortly afterwards church let out,
and as most of the congregation were
vending their way homeward, Edgar
Mintz, a young white man, stepped into
the front hall Of the sacred temple, and
addressed Rev. Nh. Matthews, who was
standing in the hall.
Mintz asked the minister why he
singled him out as the disturber of the
worship, and why did he shake his
finger at him.
The minister responded that he shook
his finger at and ~adlnonished only
those W7hO We're creating a disturbance.
Mintz thereupon called Rev. Mr. Mat
theWs a liar, and as the Win
raised his hands heavenward and pray
ed forgiveness for the soul Of the bias
phemer, Mintz struck him, knocking
him down.
Judge Bornemann, who resides not
far off, was sent for, and arrested
Mintz and committed him to Jail to
await trial this morning at II O'Clock,
Rev. Mr.. Matthews suffered nue. and
bled freely from the effects of the as
sault, which was witnessed by quite a
number Of people.

young Goodwin and told him to consider
himself under arrest. Mrs. Memory
then said: "Toomer, help me carry
him home" To this the officer made
an impertinent and gruff reply, and
jerked Mrs. Memory away from the
side of her brother and threw her half
way across the sidewalk.
The complaint was made to Police
Sergeant r. F. Gore, who informed
the ladies hat he would report the
matter to Chief Melton.
