in attendance is alniut ."i)( inl-lud-ing
50 new jmpils, and it is thohght
that this numlter will stHin 1h; in
creased to 400. It is rery desirable
that pupils puriHKsing to enter
should do so sis soon as pos.sible
thsit they msty commence- in pioper
clsisses sind so eujy every udrvan-.
tsige which an early entry will en
sure. The chauges recently made
in school rooms hsis proved ot' ad-
vsuitage in maiiv ways, and the ya-
lions scho ils are well equiped.
ylrs. lv. YA . Adams has ehsirge of
the lower division-of the first grade.
Miss Mamie Adams has the up
per division of the first grade.
Mrs. W. E. Mercer has charge of
sei-ond grade. v
Miss Addie Marsh, of Raleigh,
the. newly elected teacher, recent j
giaduat" of Peace Institute, has
harge of third grade. j
Miss Maggie Hearne has the:
fourth grade.
Prof, Liudsey has the fifth and
sixth grades. f -1
I'rof. Brutou has the seventh anil
eighth grades. . "
During the past' few days there
has Iteeii a good deal id' happy self-
ougratulatiou on the part of the
pupils, owing to their promotion
f rom the grade in which they stood
1st year to higher grades. This
idvanceineiit occurred in all grades
uid to nearly all the Old pupils,. ex
cepting only a few who may have,
entered very late last year; who
111:1 v have lieen very irregular in
ittendance: who from some cause
or other did not make sufficient ap
plication and consequent advance
ment ; or who may have been pro
moted during the last term and
were not yet ready for further pro
motion. In all these cases the mat
ter was carefully decided by the
vanotis examinational data and
tests, of the latter part of last year.
It was quite gratifying to the teach
ers as well as pupils, that snch sin
unusually large percentage stood
the tests.
In grading the new pupils, it may
have hapisMied that some were
ilaced too high, and iterhaps a few
too low, but. 111 such cases the true
standing will le very quickly dis-
overed, and .such pupils will lie as
signed their pioper grades.
Several new and important lea-
tures will be introduced this year
including additional appliances un
practical instruction in the primary
grades. In the line of the so often
neglected physical culture, which
gives exercise, health siud grsice
some new appliances in the way of
dumb Ik'IIs, wands, etc., will be ad
ded. Vocal music will receive at
tention throughout the. school. The
ighth grade has been' extended so
1 to embrace-the study of Algebra,
Geometry, Latin, Higher English,
Physics and Physiology.
The studies of an additional year,
or the Dth grade will give pupils
thorough preparation for and easy
entrance, to the State University or
my of the Colleges. ''
The Board of Trustees and Prin
ipal Tomlinson are determined
that the school shall retain its high
reputation and the enviable posi
Hon it confessedly holds among the
schools of the State, ,: and that its
efficiency for the: coming year shall
be fully equal to, or if possible, su
passing that of last year.
We learn from si private letter
recently received by one of our
schoolmen . from . Rev. Dr. ; Curry,
that the Dr. says the Wilson school
is his unanswerable and best sirgu
ruent for the establishment of such
schools elsewhere,. Dr. Mayo, of
Boston, recently referred to our
schools in the "Boston Journal of
Education," in very high terms of
commendation.
Radical Tactics in Greene.
We w ere pleased to meet. Col.
R. 0. I). Bcainoii in town this week.
The Colonel informed us that the
Greene county radicals - held their
nominating, convention at Snow
Hill hist Ssiturdsiy. And tlmt the
following ticket wsis- placed in the
field:
For the House, W. T. Dixon ;
For Sheriff, Jas. T. Smith; For
Clerk, D. W. Patrick ; For Regis
ter, Jno. C. Dixon ; and Hyinbrick
Harper a colored barber, tor - Coro
ner. Poor "nigger" His white
friends always throw him a bone
withoiit siny meat. Harper tried
to get the nomination for the House
but his pale faced brother beat him
sis usual.
Alter the convention Jas. E.
O'llara who' was endorsed for Con
gress, made si spepeh, which filled
the negroes with so much enthusi
sism that they could not restrsiin
themselves. Colonel Beamoii, who
though a staunch democrat, is in a
position to know, says that a large
majority of the republicans iu
Greene will vote for O'llara. A
phase ofthe convention that inter
ested independents, liberals or
.what-nots was that John E. Sugg,
who ran sis si democrat four yeajs
ago and who now .is a liberal tried
to get the nomination for Sheriff
but the true blue radicals left the
liberal brother out in the cold.
This is but smother evidence that
where there is any chance of elect- ;
inga straighlout republican, nolili- !
eral need apply; but when their j
chances ii re -hopeless, they are glad
to have 'su liberal make the run. ;
Such liberally, is worthy of such si.j
party ! : ;
Fred Loft'ui Esq., who it is said,
was -the most bitter democrat

Ijenoir county, sunl who now is
most bitter in his denunciation of
that party, wsi-s present sit this re
publican meeting (Mr. Loftin is si
Iiberal).and -inside a sjieeeh which
Was- bitter-. -in the extreme. He
spoke vindictively, though forceful
ly and w 11. His s.peech took like
wild tire with the colored man sind
brother, who seemed to regard Mr.
Iioftiii sis one ofthe memlters of
the jtarty of 'Gid and great moral
ideas." The Messenger reports that
in concluding his speech Mr. Lof
tin said "Let us all go to the ballot
box in' November and vote the solid
republican and coalition ticket
w ithout regard to race, color or,

and notwithstanding the weather
was threatening, by eleven o'clock
there was on the ground about
three or four hundred people from
the counties of Edgecombe, Halifax,
Warren,; Franklin and Nash, among
whom were the prettiest and most
attractive attendance ot young
ladies that could be produced. The
dinner was sumptuous. The music
furnished by , Port is' Band, of
Rocky Monut, was rendered iu their
usual style, and won many deserv
ing compliments from sill. The
dancing was good and freely and
gracefully participated in by all until
a late hour. The mauagf rs conduct
ed it in a creditable way, and it was
pronounced a grand and . decided
success and will long be remem
bered by those who were hit by
cupid's arrows shot from the loving
eyes of smiling damsels. "
The health of the community is
bad indeed, worse than in several
years with chills and billions fever
in almost every family. : -.?.-
All our people are, well pleased
with J. S, Battle for the Senate from
the 7th district. The political skies
are much brighter than in the two
preceding campaigns, and the good
yeoman white men, not only of this
county, but from throughout the
Stsite are aroused fully to duty and
will do honor to the cause of dem
ocrsiey in North Carolina ; in the
pending contest.
Mr. Connor's nomination" also
gives pleasure. -. He is known here
as an able lawyer, and he will make
a useful and distinguished Senator.

kers, and Dorah BrasWell, of
Edgecombe, two attractive and ' in
