| The Last Sail.
| 1t was a happy party that was en-
| teretained on Thursday night, two
sail boats taking the party, the event
being given by Col. and Mrs. William
Lands, Mr.. and Mrs. b. II. Griffin.
| rhe Second Regiment band furnished
the music.
The party was one of the largest
of the season and during the evening
| refreshments were served. 1t was late
| when the party finally returned, and
| later still when those who went as an
| escort to the band returned from the
| camp. The wind died away, and had
it not been for Miss Reba Bridgers,
| of Tarboro, who organized a relief
expedition and came on a launch the
party would have seen daybreak.
| There were many cheers for Miss Bird
gers. one of the most charming young
women in the State.
Two Charming People.
There was no couple at the hotel
who were more on the alert to make
| happy,th days than Gen. and Mrs. B.
$. Register The sailing parties they
gave were always delightful.
The Gallant Major Smith.
What a jolly .rty that was which
boarded the train at Morehead City
Friday morning. All had spent a
merry. happy week and were high in
| their praises of those who had ex-
| tended so many favors and courtesies
during encampment week. 1t was
pronounced by all, and especially the
ladies, to have been the most delight
| full week ever spent i'm North Carolina.
On board the train returning to
their homes after this delightful outing
| were a crowd of jolly people Space
| allows only mention of a few First
and foremost in the thought of all
springs that genial and whole-souled
friend of us all, Major w. H. Smith, of
| Goldsboro, who by his thoughtfulness
and genuine Southern hospitality add
ed much pleasure to those attending
the encampment. What lady in the
party will ever forget the care and at
| tention he gave to each one, adding
not only by his thoughtfulness, but
| also by genial and ever welcome
presence to the enjoyment of all the
| !dulSS. MdJOT SnllIn was detailed by
Gen. b. S. Robinson, who had appoint
ed him as special guard and COM
mander in chief of the ladies' and
faithfully did he perform his duty.
Major Smith appointed as his assist
ant Col w. S. Robinson. of High
Point, who proved an excellent aide.
| By his pleasant smile and attractive
manners, he, too, won the hearts of all
| the ladies. Both Major Smith and
Col. Robertson did all in their power
to give the ladies happy time and
| they succeeded. Three cheers for
| them both.
| Would that we had space to men
| ton and tell of the pleasures con-
tributed by other members of the
staff, all of whom added to the pleas
ure of the whole party. Suffice it is to
say that socially this encampment has
geen the grandest success it ever had
and that every lady who was fortunate
enough to attend, gives heartily three
cheers for Major Smith and his gal
| liant corps of assistants, with hopes
that we may all attend just such
J another encampment in 1905.
