The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1899-04-11
Was Engaged to a Wilmington Young
Lady

The following dispatch was taken
from The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot Of
yesterday:
magnolia, N. c., April 6.-The re-
Mains Of DR.. o. H. Smith, n of Bal
timore's most prominent young physi-
clans, passed through our town Mon
day en- route to Goldsboro for inter-
ment. They were accompanied by sew
eral physicians and prominent citizens
of the Monumental City.
1.-THE death of Dr.. Smith was partic-
ried on May 3rd to one of Wilmington's
faires' ighters. He was sick only a
few da. and his untimely taking off
caused sorrow to many hearts. The
floral tributes were numerous anc
handsome. They consisted of thirty
handsome designs from New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Washington,
Richmond and other cities in which he
was highly esteemed.
THE funeral ook place from ST.
Paul's Episcopal church Tuesday at
$3.50 o'clock, in the presence of a large
number Of people who had known and
loved him. His body was laid in the
tomb tenderly, under a floral mound
arranged by his betrothed. He leaves a
heart-broken mother, two sisters and g
brother to mourn his loss.
1.-THE hospital in which he had beer
an active and useful physician for six
years was draped in mourning. This
bridal veil Of the young lady he was
to have married was laid upon his
body."
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1899-04-11
Still Going Forward

It is always exceedingly gratifying
to The Messenger to note the success
of the young men of Wilmington, and
it is specially pleasant to note the
promotion Of our young townsman,
Mr.. John B. M~unson, son of our es-
teemed townsman, Mr.. Horace H. Mum
o n. Concerning him we take the fol-
lowing from the April edition of The
Travellers Official Guide, Of New York:
Mr.. John B. Munson, who has been
appointed general agent of the South
ern Railway at New York, represent
ing the freight department, with head
quarters at No. 271 Broadway, has been
for many years in the service Of the
Southern Railway and its predecessor,
the Richmond and Danville Railroad.
His last position was that of division
freight agent at Raleigh, N. c.. He be-
gan his railroad service with the Will
mington and Weldon Railroad in 1882"
Mr.. Munson is a bright and promis-
ing railroad man, and his capacity has
secured for him continued promotion
in the service Of the Southern. We un-
derstand that his position in New
York is one of the most important Of
the system, and that it places him
third in authority as to traffic matters
Of hat great railway.
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1899-04-11
Cotton

New York, April S.-The cotton mar
ket opened dull, with prices 1 point
higher to 2 points lower. The news at
hand contained nothing of an invigora-
ting character, leaving room traders to
rely upon their own resources for in
spiration. Liverpool showed marked
stability, but price variations were
quite narrow and demand for spot cot
ton was smaller than in some time
past. The weather bulletin reflected
better conditions in nearly all sections
of the belt, though the temperature
was still u~nseasonably low. AS for the
crop movement, port receipts were fair,
but at interior points cotton was COM
ing in very slowly. Light foreign buy
ing orders had a steadying influence
On the local future market during the
early part of the call. When August
was reached, however, quite heavy sell
ling set in, led by a broker whose op-
erations are generally for the account
Of Philadelphia and Boston interests.
Two or three Wall street commission
houses also sold in a small way in the
August and later positions Invest
ment orders were few and far between.
outsiders for the time being in nearly
all instances devoting their attention to
the stock market. The future market
closed quiet, 1 to 8 points net lower.
Estimated receipts at the ports for the
day were 1000 bales against 6,479 last
week and 1919 last year; for the week.
$1,000 bales, against 67.236 last week
and 71,158 last year. Today's receipts
at New Orleans. were 2,84 bales.
against 3,159 last ear and at Houston
2,266, against 1,4S0 last year.

the market opened at slight advance
over yesterday and after the decline
which followed, recovered on improve
