FAISON ITEMS. , Reported by the Messenger's Regular Correspondent. On Sunday, the 16th, after services were finished at Poplar Grove, the lightning struck a tree near the house and nearly every one on the ground received a shock.

After the electricity reach ed the foot of the tree it followed the roots as far as they extended in every direction. Mr. A. G.

T. Dortch, with their usual discretion and . fore sight saw,the state of affairs and with drew his name. One of Col. Green's men told our delegation that he . had met them' before in Convention and they alwavs carried the brains. The friends of Col. Green m their determin ation to nominate him at all hazards sacrificed him on the altar of their ambition. If they had, succeeded in throwing out the vote of Moore, there by securing his nomination, it would hare been the signal of his defeat. Although Dortch was the man and is good deal stronger now than before the Convention, we will not grumble, for the Convention gave us the second best; we will rally . around the Demo cratic standard for McClammy. We know him to be a true and faithful SDn of the Old North State having the manhood to resent all wrongs that may be hurled at the mother that gave him birth who for her in filial devotion offered his life as a sacrifice to protect her honor and virtues. No siren's song has ever touched the human heart more tenderly th:n this sturdy son of toil has thrilled it by his devo tion to the cause he loved, the firesides of his southland, the chastity and vir tue ot true womanhood. JNow his big heart takes in all his country wherever the stars may wave; every niche and corner are equally dear to him be cause it is his countrjT of grand and noble deeds. In this instance the office sought the man. It could not have found one more worthy, nor one who will more proudly and valhantly bear the Democratic banner to victory and glory than McClammy; he has been tried in the crucible and came out pure gold. Help to hold up his hands, aid and assist him in hghtincr the battle of Democracy, and victory is sure. Prof. Williams has about one hun dred and twenty pupils. Aycock is growing stronger everv day for Sheriff. I hear the people on the south of Neuse and up in the Fork think Mr. Frank voted for the Stock Law, and say they cannot support Mr. Ben, in consequence of that. I am assured by JVlr. t rank that he voted against the Stock Law and refer all doubting Thomases to the record. Mr. Ben is solid on that question. Kev. R. U. Beaman has a protracted meeting in progress. Dr. Burkhead. from your citv.preached two powerful sermons here last week. 'We would ike the Dr. come among us again. We infer from his preaching that he has been a good pastor as we?l as a great divine, and therein lay his suc cess as a preacher. John R. was prospecting in this end of the county last week. You may know what is up. The W. & W. R. R. Co., are making preparations to build a large brick warehouse at this place. Mrs. B. F. Scott is very low; past all hone of recoverv. This communitv extends the warmest sympathy. A good woman will have crossed the river to the other shore. Some ne?ioes, without the fear of God, deliberately shot old man Charley Battle Saturday night at his home, four times with shot guns. DUPLIN NEWS AND NOTES. Chronicled by our Warsaw Re porter.

Howard. aged ten months and eleven days. Although little Hope was sick only a few days, it did seem to those who watched and foresaw the inevitable, that the death angel was too 6low in relieving her from her suffering. She pre sented her first symptoms on Friday, and while all that skilled and loving hands could offer was done, Heaven marked her for its own, and on Sunday night while all nature slept, she passed over the river to the bright realms beyond. roor moiher : bush thy weeping. Above thy darling, sleeping Nor fret with aught of earthly grief. The stillness where she lies ; Flowers in her little fingers, Where the rosy flush still lingers. For the angels are her playmates On the shores of Paradise." t. m. j. Little Matt Ransom, infant son of S. M.and M. A. Grady, was born at Sarecta, Duplin county, N. C, October 4, 1884, and died August 19, 1886. " Life Is a span, a fleeting hour. How soon the vapor flies : Man is a transient, tender flower That e en in blooming dies. How true these lines, especially in this case The precious little one bloomed so beautifully for only the brief space of one year, ten months and fifteen days, to be cut down and wither. He faded on earth to bloom forever in celestial splendor in the Father's house of many mansions up on high. He went to live with the angels; went to His arms who said : Suffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." God help the loving parents, brothers and sisters to become as little children and follow on to meet their sweet little Ransom over there " In the sweet Dye and bye." MARKET REPORTS.

Yours truly, S. M. FINGER, Secretary State Board of Education. TESTIMONIA.IJS. W. A. Blair, rofessor of English Grammar and English Ut rature, State Normal, Winston. A'. V. I am very much pleased with "Harrinffton's Speller," and have adopted it in our school at High Point. I have never believed in copy books, but shall use Harper's. We use 8w ton's "Language Lessons1' and "English Gram mar" in our graded school here, and like them very much. H. L. Smith, Principal Selma Academy, Selma, N C. I have carefully examined "Harrington's Graded Spelling-book," and am much pleased with it. It adoption by our public schools would aid very much in doing away with tho foolish though time-honored custom of teach ing spelling orally, which prevails among so many of them. Hugh Morson, JtaUigh, x. V. After a careful examination I have intro gara tno speller as greatly superior to any book of the kind I have yet seen. I have also examined "Swinton's Language Series," and am so much pleased with It that I shall intro duce It as soon as practicable. ' M. J. Goldsmith, Penman and Consulting Ac countant, Atlanta, Ga. I have carefully examined "Harper's New Graded Copy-books." and find them very prac tical as regards the character of the copies and grading. They come nearer my ideal of public school requirements than any other books with which I am acquainted, and I take pleas ure In recommending them. Terms For Introduction.
