Our community was inexprcssi l,lv saddened Tuesday morning l,v the news that at l o'clock of tlKif tnorning Uev. J. II. (luiuii, hull tiled at his home in Kocking 1,.imi, alter an illness of only three il i.'.s. For the past three years' l.vl-SS, Mr. Guinn had been I' J101' ()f the Methodist, church in W ilson, and he Iiatl left us the lirst ..I'!... . ... ( ' presenr. year tor his new I-work carrying with him the love rand admiration of his congregation j and coinmiinity. The church in .Wilson never had a more faithful, earnest or more zealous pastor, ami according to our estimate of his abilities (and we heard hi in regu larly for three years) a more ableor cloipi'ent man never served our eiple. He was a man of. fine pai Is. .As a" logician he had few equals, hit it was as a descriptive preacher tlufc. his wonderful powers were best, disalayed. We think we know wjt never heard a man who could y,nil hinf iu the use of I he flower', of rhetoric. We have heard hiEi ou many occasions iiot less tliun 200 tiine.s and we never heard aim preach a dull or iminter estiiig nennoii. This is high praise, but. it i deserved. We knew Mr. (Ininn intimately and well, and a more conscientious man we never knew. His faithful and .successful work in Wilson -is a more enduring monument to his worth and useful ness than a marble shaft, or a tab let of perennial bra.ss. His influ ence for j;ood his footprints arc. slii! iti"le .seen among us and few on ii ;ic mtaiv fondly leinembereil. Air I hi i ii w.'i.s, we think, about i years old. lie was 'ju-t. attain ing to the position of one of the leading men of the Conference. No iieaeher coiuniauded . a better ap pointnienl, ami hu)l he lived and beeii'gi veil health, by the time he had reached fifty years, we think the po.sinoii of the foremost preach i er in the (Jon lei ence would have j Iwen accorded him. I He leaves a wife and seven chil i (lien the oldest not above fifteen I years old to whom the hearts ot our people go out in warmest sym j pa thy. At " o'clock Sunday evening ap propriate memorial services will lie held at the Methodist church, to which all the friends of Mr. Guinn are invited. The Graded School.

The presenta 1 it n of tin1 medal was made by II. li. -.Connor Ksq., who in the course of a w ell timed ami prac tical speech, said thai in the name of 1 he trustees, patrons, and cit izens generally he could say that the M'ssion had been in all respects a most satisfactory me, and tlie work ol Piincipal lirutoii, 'assisted by ;i laitlil'ul- band of t'eacliers had been successful in a high ilegree.

The University Commencement. The Comnicnecincnl exercises of the University, took place on Weduevd.iy and -Thursday of last week, aiiti ll.e ediioi of the AD VANCE did himself the pleasure of al tending. Our University omiht to be a piide to the State, and if iiiiiii' ill Dili' peoile could visit. 11 they would apprieciale its advan tages! A niore .beautiUil site for its location could not have been se leeted. - A boy who could not make progress at Chapel II ill. with all the advantages which siir round him. could not learn any where. ; THE' KIND OF HOY! HILL. AT CHAPEL There' were upw ards of 200 schol ars at t he U n ivei sit t he past year, ami we were glad to se- that so many of the number were young men who weic educating them selves. We . were inlormed that 'the Deems fund, ainouutiug . to over - 13,000, had all been 'loaned to students aud that then' were j more young men ai the Universi j ty who were paying their own way, young men whose parents were not able to help them, than at any time in the history of the Uiiiver isity. This is a good sign and dis j proves the oft repeated charge that "the University .is the school for rich boys.' And not only arc these poor and ambitious young men j there, but they-take high position in their classes a ml the societies, and stand in everything equal to i the sons of the richest young man ; who enjoys the advantage of Uni 1 versify training. We mi;t one jyoiiug man, whose 'graduating speech was worthy of the highest, praise, who had obtained hi edit-' i cation by hard .licks ami his own .exertions, lie walked five miles every day. 'to school, and stood well in his class. Another, of i he grad uates, who has talent for drawing, i sketching &c, made nearly enough ' money at College to pay his way, by doing little odds and ends any j thing that came to his hand. He had heljed his father in the field and had not been iu school at all ; since he was ten years old until he Uvas seventeen and yet he gradua ; ted and was the second man in his class. Another young man, w ho i had no aid, made the course in two ! Years. He. cite these things to show what unbil ions and indigent are doing. Their sue ; young men ces onght to be a stimulus" ..to otheis. The graduation of such young men, and the aid given them, is a honor to the Univers'ty, and to North Carolina. THE ADDRESS 'T AND SERMl N. Editor orator Henry Wattcrson who was to have delivered the ad dress, was prevented ly sickness, and Col. Walter L. Steele, tilled his place. Col. Steele's speech was, I many said, cqriaf to any Henry Watterson could deliver. We. know- it was a fine c tlort. The sermon was preached by Dr. llawfhorne, of Richmnd. The subject was. " fhe Influence of the Gosjel on Trade ami Politics." It was original (which is high praise in these days when most things are borrowed), and was logical and forceful. There were no grand flights of oratory, b.ir Dr. Haw thorne's style is attractive aud he was heard for over an. hour with interest and profit. THE REPRESENTATIVES OltA TIONS.

The discussion then became general and took, w ide range, ami for over half an horn- sharp debate, and per soual flings, and efforts at. harmo ny, demanded the attention of the convention. During this tunc va rious resolutions and amendments and substitutes were oll'ered. Mr. Conuor moved that we only declare our preference lor Scales and nor instruct niii delegates.

GIVES BETTER SATISFACTION THAN MARKET. . : :o:- , ' The Magnolia Gin has come in eoiuiH tition w.tb nearly every other gin on the market, at State Fairs, etc, aud in every instance has'lieateu all competitors, aud taken the honors lor fine samples, light draft and good work. . ' In every .cotton growiug State tlie Magnolia Gin has made a mast enviable name for itself, and may well bo called the "Planters' Favorite " as they prefer it to all others, and those who have used this Giu will have uo other. ' LATE IMPROVEMENTS. In offering the Maguolia Giu to the public this season, we desire to call attention, especially, to the improvements made in same during last year, aud which improvements were thoroughly tested and endorsed by every party who was so l'ortuuate as to become the purchaser thereotV They consist first, in the improved Cotton Box, which has been found incapable of being choked under the severest tests It is a well known tact, that in all other Gins particular attention is given to feeding more freely at the ends of the Cotton Box thun any where else. With the improved Cotton Box it is entirely immaterial to the perfect runuiug of the gin, whether you, feed at the ends or exclu sively in the centre of the box, as by its construction, the cotton is at ouce distributed throughout. This at ouce corrects a want long felt in ginning, and makes it un necessary to have any oue in front of the gin at all, when provided with our feeder known to lie the most simple and reliable feeder ever offered to the public. j . We have also added au attachment to our feeder, by which you are enabled to increase, at your pleasure, the sjieed of feeding. This is brought about by changing a lioltm feeder arm, which increases the movement of the apron, presenting more cotton to t he drum, which im mediately takes it up aud gives it to the gin. This attachment liecomes decessary to those who desire rapid glu tting without reference to sample. . We ask the public to examine hilly the claims of our gin to superi ority before purchasing. ma 23 " : V' :V P v:"-: Ml Ji v ni iu j " 1' 1 m m a r t m 111 Ami lilt IAA I Over a generation has passed since the Rountrees hegan business in Wilson, and they still continue to , offer to the people of Wil son and the adjoining counties the most complete assortment of goods in the Town at bottom prices.
