Do not overlook our Raleigh
letter this week. But of course
no one will do so as they are in-
in the degree
It is not the at each ex

Court of the of applicant-
for license to practice law that
every one of them secures
without a single failure.
It so happened last Friday
there were nineteen applicant
to be examined The list is pub-
elsewhere.
We see from the Raleigh l a
that our Representative,
Mr. King, has introduced a bill
to make the January and June
terms of Pitt Superior Conn
for the trial of both criminal
civil cases, and also another bill
amending the charter of the
town Greenville. We sup
pose this latter bill is to
our municipal government Dem-
after the first Monday
in May next. Good.
Senator Williams writes us to
request he people in the several
townships to get together and
express who they desire to be
appointed to till the
for Justices of the Peace and
send the same to their
This matter should
be attended to at once. Let the
people come together, and make
their selections and forward the
names promptly that our
may not be delayed
in work. And above all
things make good selections,
men who have wisdom and good
judgment This is essential.
The news of Senator Zeb
having lost one of his
eyes was received with much
sadness by the people generally,
especially those of his
State to whom he is so dear.
Every member of the
Assembly from Pitt county is at
work earnestly, which proves
t hat our people made good
Senator Williams and
Representatives Cherry and
King have each introduced a
number of bids that are much
importance. The last we no
from Mr. Cherry is to
Pitt county to
tax collectors. The bill was not
published in full, but if what
we think it appoint and
make a bonded collector in every
should be passed.
It would not only prove of
fit to Pitt county but also to
every county in the State if it
becomes a general law. Town
ship tax collectors could says
thousands of dollars every year
are not collected under the
present of one collector to

For a week or two we have
been intending to speak of the
handsome appearance of the
Charlotte Chronicle of late. Since
a few copies of the new sheet

The Chronicle is truly a hand-
some sheet, typographically and
otherwise. It has the most city
appearance in its get up
and print paper in
Carolina and is truly a credit
mi its owners. But the part that
people of Charlotte are tail-
is where the surprise comes
in. We have examined every
issue of the Chronicle received in

much as one column of advertise-
