What They Are Doing and Saying.
Portsmouth, May 12-(Special)-
There are n number Of our Carolina girls
who have been transplanted to Virginia
soil, prominent among them is Mrs
j. Sumner Butt nee Miss Maud Mar
shall. Mrs. Butt was ever il fayorite
in Raleigh and we find il SO with her
here.
Mrs. y. +. Whitehurst nee Miss Hat
tie Hicks, was formerly an Oxford girl.
We see her pleasant countenance always
with pleasure.
Mrs. Huggings, nee Miss Lovejoy, has,
former friends. She is the daughter of
Mr.. jeff Lovcjoy. so well known as Il
successful educator of the youths of
Raleigh. You remember, of course, the
incident that happened in .'Loveioy $
grove at the close of the Civil War, in
the hanging of Lieutenant Walsh for
firing at Gen. Fitzpatrick after the sur
render of the city. This grove is now
a thing of the past. The Governor $
Mansion is about the site of the old
school house.
Mrs. Ann Goodloe is with us. We al
ways feel good when we have seen her
genial face and felt her friendly hand
clasp.
Among those in the Mechanical De-
partment of the Seaboard Air Line are
Harding Grisley. nephew of Mr.. Bern
ard Harding, so well known in Raleigh.
J. Q. Rem, the son of ]. Il. Rem, the
popular conductor on the ID. and \.
road is also in this department..
Mr.. c. T. Williams, chief clerk in Mr..
McBee's office, is so well known and so
often among you that there is hardly
anything i can say, save to note his
continued good health.
In our business houses here we find
Mr.. Everit Clements, known among his
friends as Lip" Mr.. Archie Uzzle, Mr..
Warner Pugh and w. l.. Rem. though
living in Portsmouth, have their business
i'll Norfolk.
We have quite a number of Whining
tonians members of the colony. MIR.
Harry Boatwright and wife and brother;
Mr.. Will Bowden, Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
4mond Myers, Mr.. and Mrs. w. III.
Newell and their interesting family, are
all we can call to mind now
The little son of Mr.. G.. L. Williams
had quite a severe accident a few days
since. which came near tanning him for
life. We congratulate his parents on his
escape MIR. Williams former home
was Lolfisburg.
We have all sorts of clubs, societies,
auXiliaries, &c. nowadays, SO would it
not be good idea to band ourselves
together into Carolina Club for mu-
tua benefit and pleasure. Tar Heels
nominations for president are in order.
Don't all speak at once.
Thursday the Library Association of
the Seaboard Air Line, gave their am
nual picnic to Delaware Park. There
were at least fifteen hundred people, on
the two trains. All returned very en-
thusiastic over the good time they had;
and of the beauties and comforts OF
Delaware Park. 1t is indeed an ideal
picnic ground Some of our Raleigh
schools might find it nice place for
their usual summer outing.
There was a great game of baseball
in Norfolk this week, between the Elks
of Portsmouth and Norfolk, to aid in
the completion of the Memorial to the
Confederate dead Early in the after
noon, the two mines, with the Naval
Post band, in all sorts of outer cos
tunes paraded our principal streets,
then proceeded to the ball grounds in
Norfolk.
The game itself was an amusing bur-
esdue Of the national game, and all the
way through was an uproar OF merrl-
ment. Portsmouth won, of course,
while nobody knew just how many runs
were scored, yet the amusement never
tagged during the contest. 1T is estl-
mated that about $1,000 was Melted for
the monument fund.
