D. D. Dupree vs Thos. Tuten etal By virtue of a decree made in the above entitled case at Spring Term 1887, I will offer for sale to the highest bidder for Cash at the Court House Door in the Town of Washington on Monday the 5th day of Dec, 187 the lands described in the complaint here in and known as the Redding Tuten homestead viz: situated in Beaufort county on the south side of Pamlico river near Blount's creek, adjoining Nathan Long and other containing about 75 acres it being the tract of of land whereon Redding Tuten resided at the time of his death.

Nov 1st '87 Thos Tuten Adm'r with the Will annexed 1 1-8-4. i in the held but in the oihee. lis rv mored that our force will be recruited accompanied by floral, tributes 4 other essentials. We drop a tear as we say farewell, but are consoled by the thought; that it is a good thing and ought to be done. We inspected the register of the River View Hotel on Wednesday last, and were surprised at the amount of patronage it has received.

The management has opened a sample room in the basement on corner of Main and Market streets, and now is running a hack line for the accommodation of guests. The following is the cotton mar ket to this date as reported by W. J-Cruinpler, cotton broker, of this town: Nov. 7th, 1S87 4 m. Norfolk Market Easy.

Middling, 9 low Washington Market -Steady middling, low middling 2 Light weight bales not desirable. We learn that there are now 13 prisoners in jail and sixty criminal cases on the docket for trial at the next term of the Court, which will be held Nov. 28th. Several of the prisoners' are in mil for grave offences and it is 3 thought that the time of the Court will be mostly taken up by the State docket and that but little, if any, civil business will be reached. The annual conference of the A.

M. E. Ziou Church will be held at the Farmers Chapel in this town, commen cing Wednesday, Nov. 23rd. The conference will issue a daily paper, during the session of the Conference, giving a daily report of its proceedings.

The Daily Index will be printed at the Progress Job Office, and a limited amount of advertisements will be taken Those dissolving views was something new to our people. That famous painting, "Christ Before Pilate," which John Wananiaker, of Philadelphia, purchased at the immense cost of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars was reproduced under a strong calcium, light also "The Rock of Ages," filling the entire stage. We also en- j'ed a visit to Rome' Go il is the last time you will have to see this great show. A good Baptist deacon residing in a certain town in the upper part of this State has the misfortune to be exceed-I ingly nervous aud excitable. On one occasion, it being the Sabbath evening prayer meeting, he.

startled the congregation by saying: "Not oue tit or jottle of his word shall when noticing a suppressed titter amou.S luc auu. a Diuuaer, attempted to menu tne matter bv saving: "No I meau not oue tottle or jit. mm. 1 On Saturday evening the steamer Beta was steamingjdown Tar river with a of J5 bales of cotton on board When about two miles above Sparta, she was discovered to be on fire.

She came into port Sunday evening. Among the successful men who were telegraph operators in early life are Andrew Carnegie, Theodore N. Vail, of the Bell Telephone Company; Ex-Goveruor Bullock, of Georgia; Ex-Governor Cornell, of New York1, W.

J. Johnson the publisher; E. H. John-sou, president of the Edison Compa-ny; Thos. A.

Edison, D. H. Bates, the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph, and Col. Richard Clowry, Western superintendent of the Western Union; James E. Shepherd now Judge of the Superior Court of this State, and prominently mentioned as the next Judge of the Supreme Court; G.

H. Brown, one of the ablest and most successful lawyers in the State. Rev. Mr. Love of Pantego delivered an interesting temperance ture at the Town Hall Sunday even ing.

At night he preached to a good congregation, after the services Steps were taken to reastablish the Baptist Church in this place, a committee was appointed to see what iepairs were needed on the Church building, to ascertain the amount of money that could be raised for the support of a regular minister, and to ask the Gen eral Association which meets on the 16th of this month, for help in estab- lishing a permanent church at this place. We sincerely hope that our Baptist friends may be successful' and establish a permanent church at this place. Typhoid, Scarlet and Yellow Fevers, Measles, Diptheria, Small Pox.

w. kh, his side of the controversy in it would seem to us, that he should at least, give his readers a synopsis of our article, and all would have been able to give an unbiased judgment on all the facts in the case. The Reflector gives no reason for hisineddlesome and impudent interference with the affairs of the Progress aud Gazette, and we have reasons to believe that it will be many days before the editor of the Reflector will consent to be used as a cats paw to draw the chestnuts out of the fire again. The editor of the Reflec tor well knew that the present proprie tors of the Progress came in possession of the paper in June last aud since that time have only been responsible for its utterances. After somewhat extended observation we have come to the conclusion, the more dense the ignorance of an editor, the larger type he uses to display his name.

As to the last paragraph in the Reflector's article, we will at once admit the su- periority of its editor's ability to throw mud and use Billinsgate, and we also cheerfully concede his extensive knowledge of the effects of lying with a dog.

Editors Progress: I wish to say to the readers of your paper that the political agitation of the liquor traffic, means education all along the line, and education all will admit we need. The Grand Lodge of Masons in Missouri has confirmed the decree of the Grand Master, that all members who are iu any way connected with the liquor traffic, shall be expelled from the order.

The Knights of Labor do not want them and are expelling them from their ranks, surely the business of selling rum is not to be desired by men who value their reputation I am told that in one or more counties in the State, the Commissiours have decided that applicatiou for license to sell rum is prima facia evidence that the party has not good moral character, and of course refuse to grant, it. It depends upon your fellow citizens of prohibition proclivities to educate the people of Beaufort couu ty up to the same standard, and I call upon you to come out from the old corrupt parties aud join us iu educa- ting tne people to stop licensing this i miserable -traffic which more than any thing else on earth, keeps our people in poverty and ignorance. Help us to lift the people above. It is a duty you owe your fellow man aud you should bear your partiu this noble work, ac cording to the ability which God has given vou. The Prohibition partv is in the held to stay, and to win, join it, remembering that it has no rumsel- lers in it.

1 hat it makes no Comoro mise with the Satanic Confederacy for political support. his cannot be said of either of the old parties. Join it and give to it vour influence aad if need be vour money, remembering that in a great measure, on you it depends whether we shall continue to be cursed with this terrible aud blighting traffic or not.
