At a meeting of the military com
pany on Thursday night an election
was held to fill the vacancy made by
the promotion of Captain E. M.
Nadal: There did not seem to be
any opposition to the election of Mr.
T. M. Washington, so he was de
clared elected by a rising vote. Capt.
Washington has seen some service in
the State Guard and is a very popu
lar man among the boys. The---Wilson
company has been singularly for
tunate in its election of captains, four
out of the five having risen to promi
nent positions in the regiment " We
look to see another rise shortly.

Maybe the farmers are tired of be

run their farms; for in all probability
they know just as much- about the

to give advice. But-the injunction
about raising home supplies is a mat
ter that cannot well be madte too
prominent.- The; day is about pass
ed.when the firnieis can farm and
buy everything he needs from else

true object of 'fanning is to raise what

realization is making a great differ
ence in our land, and is destined to

everythinglhat has entered into the

penses. iWe are struck with the report, be
cause it shows such economy. It'is
proof that the citizens of Wilson are
getting tuition for their children at
figures that. are most economical.
Nothing can be more pointed than
the fact that it is. the cheapest school
a community can have.
It is gratifying to learn that the
community is taking increased inter--st
in the school, and that the spirit
of enthusiasm has taken hold of its
Iriends with increased zeal. There is
ane thing that is needed to increase
the capacity of the school. There
ihould be more m6ney appropriated.
The taxes should be slightly increas
ed in order to put the finances of the .
school in better condition.
That would enable the trustees to
run the school without having to re
sort to tire necessity ol borrowing
money as they have had to do some
times. -
Other towns and cities have the
rate of taxation nearly double thai of
Wilson and . they see that it pays. If
Wilson would try it, we would see
that it pays also.

To the Board of Trustees:
-I beg
ieave to submit the following report
of the Wilson Public Schools for the
four months beginning September
3rd and ending December 2ist"i8a4..
The enrollment at both schools has
steadily increased, and now we have
almost as many pupils as we can ac
comodate. However, the attendance
has not been marked by that regu
larity and punctuality which is essen
tia! to the progress of pupils and the
successful .operation of the schools. I
rhink that this is owing largely to a
Lick of appreciation on the parts -of
pi rents o! the absolute importance: ot
regular and '-punctual " attendance
Children, should understand that go
irtg to seho ! is their business and is
to be neglected only when absolutely
necessary. Children who are al-
lowed to neglect their business as pu-
pils for. trivial reasons are being
trained to neglect the business of
later life, for habits formed in child
hood are not easily outgrown.
WHITE SCHOOL.
. The total enrollment at "the white
school has been 350. Of this num
ber 56 have left, 14 having moved
from town, 10 going to work, 8 at
tending other schcols, 14 having left
tor other causes, mainly sickness.
The number enrolled at date of re
port is 294. -
The general condition of the school
is very satisfactory. No effort is be
ing spared on t he part of the teach
ers to make the schools worthy of the
patronage and support of the people
of Wilson. Mr. W. C. Allen Princi
pal ol this school has been very suc
cessful in his work and is entitled to
a large measure of whatever success
has been attained. ' The teachers ol
the school have a keen appreciation
of their responsibilities and are work
ing faithfully to discharge them.
CfDLORED SCHOOL.
-The total enrollment at the colored
school has been 206. The number
present Jan. 14th, 1895 was 163."
The average daily attendance dur
ing the four months was 120. It is
difficult to get accurate information
in regard to this school, owing to
the irregular attendance which seems
unavoidable.
The school has five teachers who
are doing their duty to the commu
nity and to the children under their
charge. Thereis an increase interest on
the part of the colored people of our
community and the school, under the
wise and "faithful management of
Principal Brasvvell R. Winstead is,
doing a good work.
The enrollment for both schools is
554. and the total cost is $2,210.74,
for four months. The average cost a
month, for each pupil has been about
$r.oS. ' ' .
Both schools will always be glad
t receive visitors who are interested
in' the cause of education and who
desire to know more about our
schools and -their working.

Uncle Tain's Cabin. t.
At the Opera House to-night,
Frank E. Griswold's company will
present the thrilling spectacular
drama, Uncle Tom's Cabin, which
has been successfully produced in
this country for the past twenty
years. In fact Uncle Tom's Cabin
never loses its interest. This com
pany travels in jts own Pullman cars, '
wnere me troupe nave ail trie accom
modations of a modern hotel. Our
people shoutd turn out en mass and
giv3 th( m hearty reception.
The Cle eland, Ohio Press, says
of them: - -.
Uncle Tom's Cabin never growi
old. There runs through it a vein
of pathos peculiarly touching and
sweet. It - speaks the universal
language of the heart. It reflects
like a prism the innermost phases of
human emotion. It is more than a
play it is a moral classic. It argues
for two of the greatest themes that
can engage the mind human liberty
and the immortality of the soul. It
is so pure -that its touch alone is
chastening- Like the kiss of a child
it conquers alone by the very in
nocence of its breath. In the char
acter of Eva il is unique. Who
does not cherisd in memory some
sweet angelic child who seemed to
touch this earth only as a transient
visitor, who passed away with the
dew of chidhood's morning too
good, too .pure for us! "Was there
ever a child like Eva? Yes, but her
name is written on a grave-stone."'
Mr. Griswold's company certainly
merits all the encomiums received by"
tne Eastern Press. Their perfor
mance was a revelation.
KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly uned. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
j-laxative principles embraced in tho

Its excellence is due to its presenting

beneficial properties of a perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing' constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
