TREASURER WANTS DIVIDENDS.
Treasurer Worth is very anxious that
the Il ard of Directors of the Atlantic
ana North Carolina Railroad declare Il
per cent. dividend
The Board of Internal improvements
recently passed a resolution requesting
the directors of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad t. declare n pcr
cent. instead Of > per cent. dividend. It
is their desire u use the surplus for
the purchase of now engines and
cquilrn"nt and to establish additional
terminal facilities at New Bern. There
j. even now some talk of Withholding
the entire dividend in order To devote
II ia much needed permanent improve
1ncut.
Treasurer Worth has an eye on tho
finances Of the State. If no dividend
j. declared the state Treasury will lose
exactly $25'332 Tho Treasurer says he
needs the money.

A Lommendable Movement.

Tie cilizens OF the First ward are
to be commended for the way they
are cleaning ND their yards and alleys.
l. is Q1ite noticeable that "a great
deal OF work in this direction has
been done in this ward in ihr past
several ", eks. One OF the most ne
ticeabie improvements is the weed
cutting. Streets aud vacant lo's
that were few weeks ago miniature
forests, are now respectable Looking
and not at all unpleasant to the eye.
In many Instances, people have vo,
unfairly cut the weeds of vacant
property near their residences solely
on account Of their noxious presence.
This sort of improvement is not
confined by any means TO the First
ward. hut II is more noticeable 10
that part OF the CITY than anywhere
else. IL is movement that ought 10
he encouraged, for the reason that il
is conducive IN health, as well as an
Improvement in the general appear
ance Of the city.

Let's Have a Street Fair.

Wellington ought to have a street
fair this fall. A street fair would
turn more money TO the home mer.
chants and bring more visitors to
wellington in three days than half a
dozen insane asylums would in a
decade
A street fair is given by building
tables along Tie curling from one
street 10 another, upon which agri-
cultural, horticultural and other pro-
ducts are displayed. The streets are
kept free from teams and used as an
avenue fer pedestrians. The side
walks are used for store displays.
Amusement is furnished by minstrel,
a ,robatic and vaudeville performances
upon stands erected 10 the street.
A three days street fair could be
given with an outlay Of about $500
Both sides OF one block would be SUI
fcient. Farmers would visit the city
from the fartheSt parts Of the county
during the street fair, and it would be
great thing for the business men.
Other towns have tried it and found
il SUI C. Ssful. More towns will give a
street fair this fall than ever before.
They are the popular form Of amuse-
ment.
About the only expense that would
amount 10 anything would be the
vaudeville singers and dancers, coon
Quartettes, etc. that would have to
be imported" from Kansas City.
This feature would attract everybody
to town, and Wellington would have
a celebration the like Of which the
town has never seen.
To have street fair someone should
take hold Of IL at once. Would II mot
be good idea for the Commercial
club 10 take hold Of the matter?
