In his announcement he says that he shall be independent of all political parties, but he adds that he favors the People's party more than any other. He is uncompromisingly op posed to the present Democratic Ad ministration. We think we shall en joy reading Mr. Cade's paper. Cotnpliment to Dr. Mundy. In giving an account of the com mencement exercises of Stanhope Academy, the Nash County Sun uses the following words : Dr. Mundy's address was a liter ary treat for all who heard it, and highly spoken of by manv. Dr. Mundy is an orator, and the manner in . which he handled his subject, "Know Thy Self," showed that he is a "great thinker, also. We congratu late the Baptists of Wilson.on procur ing his services. Old Pnper. ... We were entertained the other day by looking over a copy of the Ad vance printed in 1874, and compar ing it somewhat with the present status of the- paper. Col. H. G Williams was editor then.

If so, why not show it so that suc ceeding years can see ? Prof. Foust to Leave. ! It is with regret that the commun ity will - part with such an excellent man as Prof. I. I. Foust. He has been here two years as superinten dent of the Wilson Public Schools, and has done a good work. He has been a careful, painstaking officer, and his numerous friends, here regret that he felt that his future field of labor lay in other places, and he therefore declined to allow his name to go before the board for reelection to a place that he has so honorably filled. We wish him abundant sue cess in whatever field he shall labor Wilson Public Schools.

Miss 'Enafma Lee, in a lovely debu tantes gown of white silk, was assisted in receiving by Miss -Sallie Hadley, in white mousseline de soie, and by Miss Wells, in pink organdie.

The Washington correspondent of the Goldsboro Caucasian, in speaking of the Woodard club that has been organized there, in which he speaks complimentary of our Congressman, has the following to say of a young man who was reared in Wilson : '...'. dr. sterling ruffin Is the brightest man the State has sent to Washington. From the rou tine and drudgery of a departmental clerkship he has worked his way to the front in the medical profession in Washington. The Ruffin inheritance would make a man of him. The son of a physician, the grandson of the great Juribt, Chief Justice Ruffin, in stinctively he is well-bred, accom phshed, and a North Carolinian. Court Adjourned. Court adjourned last Friday just after the criminal docket was cleared Only one really important case come up and that was the State ' against Frank Locust lor the shooting of Lumford Narron. The shooting oc curred last November, no witnesses being present. Narron recovered and testified on the stand that Locust did the shooting. Locust denied it, but the jury believed Narron, and Locust was sent to the State prison for three years. James Mobley was sent up for per jury committed in the court room in his testimony. Two or three other convictions were made and the peni tentiary gets a fair quota of recruits from Wilson. Judge Bynum's rulings were im partial and- he more than sustained the reputation he made here in Feb ruary. JNo civil cases were tried at this term of court. Three schools will furnish instruc tions to teachers during the summer, all run by the University of North Carolina. One at the University buildings, Chapel Hill, N. C, one at King's Mountain, and another at iseaulort. President Winston at Chapel Hill, can give any informa tion one desires about these school? . It is whispered that Mr. Cleveland is not in favor of the present tariff bill, and will use his influence to low er the rates of duties when the matter is referred to a conference of the two houses. Mr. Cleveland was the man who sounded the note ot tariff reform and it would be entirely in keeping with his known views if he were to contend fdr those protective duties to be cut down by the conference.

Lasr "Thursday night about one o'clock A. M., Prcf. Silas E. War ren passed from time to eternity. He had been sick for about a month, and from the first his illness had been alarming. His great vitality and tenacity kept him alive for many days after all hope had been aban doned by his friends. Prof. Warren had been the Princi pal of the Collegiate Institute at this place for eight years, and had brought the school to its present stage of ex- cellence by hard, systematic labor. "e was a most excellent teacher. His school was especially noted for the thoroughness of its work. He sur rounded himself with first-class teach ers and infused into them hi3 own en thusiasm and efficiency as a teacher. Wilson experiences a great loss in the death of this painstaking teacher and most excellent man. His place will be hard to fill. It is always a matter of deep regret when a useful man is cut down in the vigor of manhood, but it is especially sad when a conscientious and labori ous instructor of youth is removed by the hand of death ; for real teach ers are hard to find. Prof. Warren was a real teacher. He bore the happy faculty of impart ing to his pupils a part of his own enthusiasm in the prosecution of daily labors and thus enlisting the , full nieasure of their abilities. Such a teacher is hard to find and is worth a score of the less enthusiastic class. He was a useful citizen, a kind hus band and father. His untimely end casts a shadow of gloom over his large circle of friends and acquain tances. The bereaved ones, a wife and two children besides a mother, sisters and brother, have our sym pathies. His burial, in Maplewood Cemetery, was largely attended by sorrowing friends. Bicycles on the Road. Some two or three of our wheel men took a spin over to Tarboro this week. They made the 28 miles in two hours and fifteen minutes, actual running time. The time between stations was 3 hours, but one hour was spent in rest at the city of St. Lewis, which lies along the route. After spending a day at Tarboro they returned to Wilson ; but as the weather was so extremely warm they decided that a ride on the train, with steam pushing the pedals, was far preferable to an exertion of will and muscle power on their own parts. Wheeling is fine sport and should be encouraged, and the best way to do this is for our young people to organize a club and have regular "meets." The Wilson Stock Association are doing all they can to encorage the wheelmen by improving their track and getting up races. The next race will take place on June 27th, at which time $100 in . prizes will be given away. . We wonder when Coxey expects to get his bills through Congress He is lying around Washington 1 very long time, and says that he may take up winter quarters in the imme diate neighborhood. " The people around there will be satisfied if he does not take anything else. Fremont, N. C, June 12, '94. In speaking of our National Legis ators the other day, some one re marked that it Webster. Clay, or Calhoun, could be permitted to walk into the Senate chamber, they would feel small intellectually, compared to our great Statesmen of to-day. What a pity the Senate is not composed of such men as they were. Oh, shame, where is thy blush, to say that these three great men of their day, or any day. i would be but ordinary men now. We like what Dr. Kingsbury said in last Saturday's Messenger, "Stay in the Democratic party and work for the principles of Democracy, which are as everlasting as the hills." The principles of the grand old party are all right, and will give to the men who work to t:arry them out, the fairest page in the history yet to be written. If our present represent atives would be governed by those principles, and work for the people, as their servants, with more honesty of purpose, integrity and backbone, and who are ot the people and for the people, and who will work for their interest, and not for trusts and monopolies. The people will cer tainly hold this Congress responsible and ask the question, "What have you done for our interest? Render an account." Then they will be dumb. We know how Republican legislation left the country, and we know the Democrats of the South have had a hard time to legislate lor the people. but have they done their duty? A reckoning day will come, and their mantles, we trust, will fall on worthier shoulders if they can be found in the Democratic ranks. , Fremont is on a boom.

For the last two years he has had several gun shot patients some of them were shot bad all of whom recovered. Dick is a favorite here. He has nine children, and has to: hustle. The boys and girls had a pic nic at Hook's fish pond last Friday, near here, and a splendid time. More than one girl's eyes drooped and looked into the placid water, as her gallant lover told in touching words his love. Like sunbeams falling amid a bed of roses touched by tiny dew drops, were the words, solt and sweet. Ripples of. affection were awakened in hearts, that will continue to grow, until love sits enthroned and shall light up the eyes with that brilliancy of language that only the heart speaketh and the lover readeth. The boys want to know when two girls kiss which one gets the sweetest kiss. They say when a boy and girl kiss there is no doubt about the matter, but we don't know wheth er any lips touched that day or not, but it was 3 day for shoes coming untied, lemonade and milk shakes. Rev. Andrew Moore, of the Prim itive Baptist persuasion, preached here last Saturday night. Our Methodist preacher is oft on a sick tour. Hope he will soon recov er his wonted health and return.
