attempted , forgery and upon in
quiring of Mr. Davis, the cotton
buyer, ascertained that the negro
had changed 1 into 3. The negro
will probably be required to pay
the full penalty of the law.
There was a man iu Wilson Mon
day who claimed to be one of the

thought best that those engaged iu
the affair should absent themselves

succeeded in making some ol our
joople believe that he was a bona

sistance but how much he succeed

think, however, the amount was
small.

he saw no reason why Connor & j

About midnight Saturday a uiul
headed cow by the use of its head,
neck and long tongue ellecteu an
entrance into the residence of Jack
Williamson, colored, in Wilson, aud
'after eating a bushel of collards aud
turnips, half bushel of sweet pota
toes, several pounds of soap, and
kicking a hole in a barrel ir. which
a-'possum was confined, -went to
bed in good order. Later on in the
night two men, who were out rather
late, stopped at Jack's to get
something to eat " when the cow
made a rush for the, door, knocking
oae of the men down ami frighten
ing the other out of iris wits. They
thought the old cow was a ghost
that appeared before them i con
sequence of their midnight revelry,
and left the place hurriedly, not
standing ou the order of toeir de
parture. Let us have more ghosts!
A HIGHLY PRIZED
PRESENT. !
Our readers will doubtless notice
an
improvement in the local and
editorial departments this week. j
It is due to the fact that the editor
has been iloing his writing with an
elegant ivory handled pen 'made in
Jerusalem, aud presented to: him
! by Mrs, T. A. Woodard, who ob-
taiued it while in Boston at the Ks-
position. While writing our mind !
goes back as it were to the Holy
Land and the inspired writers of
the olden time and wo seem to j
catch, with the Jerusalem pen, a'j
more ready style and the words
crfmc more veadilyrthau formerly, i
We retni u our warmest thanks to I
the donor. The pen makes us feel 1
as if we'd been to Jeiusalem smrt i
Bethlehem ; bathed in Jordan;)
gazed on the Dead Sea; ascended !
mount Sinai, llermon aud the i
other saered mounts ; stootl by the i
sea of Galilee in a storm ; entered
into the city of Nazareth; viewed
with awe the cursed ruins of
Capernaum ; and traversed the ;
sacred laud from Pan to Beersheba,
A pen made in Jeiusalem. the :
City of our King!v What pleas
ant mnories are awakened by it !
For mountain butter and coun
try meal go to Drake & High's.
WATCHED.
A few weeks ago, our readers will
remember, burglars eutered the
resideKce of Mr. II. G. Connor and
stole not only hi money but a gold
watch, which .he prized very highly
as it was a tzift from -a- deceased
relative. .Some of his friends, long
desirous of giving expression of
their high esteem, made this the
occasion of presenting Mr. Connor
with an elegant gold watch on
which was inscribed "Presented to
H. G. Connor by Friends in Wilson
as a Token of their Friendship and
warm Personal Estccnp Nov. 1.
1883." Wilson has no purer, more
upright, public-spirited, iopuIar eit-.
izen than Mr. Connor and it affords
us pleasure to know that such a
man is appreciated as he deserves.
The jieople of Wilson have icatched
his career with peculiar inter
est and rejoiced with him in his
success at the bar, on the hnstings
and in every department of life and
they will continue to icatch his
career of usefulness as he grows in
popularity, in statesmanship, and
in practise. Would that we had
many more.sueh mien !
VOORIIEES AT WELDON.
Capt. Carraway, the special cor
respondent ofthe "News-Observer"
furnishes the following extract
from Senator Voorhees, speech at
the Weldon Fair, and says "we
were particularly struck with some
of Senator V's remarks." He said
in substance, "if farming and farm-,
ers are to assume a position com
mensurate with their importance,
tillers of the soil must take a broad
and comprehensive view of their
occupation and its relations to
other indus-ries. We must re
spect our calling and ourselves.
We-must realize that prosperity to
farmers means prosperity to all the
busy forms of industry, and that
a failure of crops brings in its train
depression and ruin even to ap
parently unconnected occupations
just as the toppling of some huge
cliff;', into the sea may by the
.vaves throw n up in its fall over
whelnrfrail craft floating quietly
in distant waters. When the
crops fail and the strong arm of
the laborer -withers the looms cease
to spin, railroads cease to' carry
their burdens of freight, and com
merce ceases upon the high sea.
Agriculture, my countrymen, is the
corner-stone, the foundation stone
of all - prosperity, and country life
is conducive to virtue and content.
Orators ami statesmen have acquir
ed new powers to serve their fellow
men bv'comihuniug with nature in
their rural homes. Xt country
has shown inure powers of recup
eration than you. my friends of the
South, hae since t he war and re
construction, or more properly de
struction. And it is due to your
immense resources of wealth and
fertility in the cotton belt, the fos
tering, care of agriculture and the
bringing of science and skill to its
aid. Farmers, the day has passed
when you can merely drift along.
I am proud , to see that you in
North Carolina and the entire
South, are bringing to bear intel
lectual forces of the highest char
acter, and grappling with the
great questions of productions.
Your exhibit here to-day shows
yon to be men men of skill, intel
ligence and farming indu try. I
am proud to call you brothers. I
am thrice, happy and proud to meet
the friends and visit the home of
the dearest friend I have ou earth
Gen. Matt. "W. Ransom. Your wav
is ever forward, courageous and
noble sons of pedigreed stock of
illustrious sires. I say to you as
one who has ever battled for your
constitutional rights, as one who
loves your sunny clime, that the
day is breaking full of glory and
happiness '.for you and for the
whole Southern people. If I have
added anythingjto your enjoyment
then I am happy. My part I con
sider the least of the performance
With many thanks for your kind
ness, and wishing your' State a
bright future, I bid you an affec
tionate good afternoon.
