I ( The Twenty-Second of February at the Dunn High School. The friends and visitors who were present, at the above flourishing Institution, (which is conducted so successfully'by Profs. Ezzell & Smith,) were very pleasantly and agree ably entertained by the pupils in a series of choice patriotic ,: songs and recitations ; the occa sion being the celebration of the birth-day of "The Father of his Country," GEORGE WASHING TON ; a day never to be i'orgot . ten by all who glory in "The land of the free and the home cf the brave." The one hundred and fifty bright boys and girls of the , Dunn High School are under [ the excellent instruction aiid [ careful training of the two gen r tlemen above named and also > two young ladies, Misses Laura t Swinson and Kittie Herman; ; both well qualified in their i respective departments of liter ; ature and music; anil both of t them highly esteemed, not only j by their pupils, for their high 1 attainments, but also by the whole town, for their exceeding [ loveliness of character, and womanly deportment. , The "young folks" of the , school had a great many "nice r things" to sny in recitation and ; song "of the "hero of the Day," the great Washington, and all of them performed their parts [ well and promptly through the whole program —patriotic, na tional and state, The author of the song "110 ! For Carolina," Dr. W. B. liar rell, who was present, was heard to remark that he never heard the sOng sung with more effect and spirit than on this occasion. It was well done by the entire school. Dr. Harrell , was called 01 for a speech and afterwards his son, Albert, a . young lawyer just from college, : and having his Supreme Court [ license to practice law in North . Carolina, was also called out. Both spoke on the "renowned t American," and "the little hatchet" story was not forgotten I in the speech of the latter. It ) is a story that should be kept in constant remembrance by ail ) the youth of our land and coun , try. Prof. Ezzell made a very I earnest appeal in a short ad dress to the audience 011 the [ subject cf general education in connection with patriotism. So, also, were the remarks of Prof. Smith very pointed and well timed and appropriate. Mr. Cannady, being vehemently J urged, concluding with a few parting words to the boys and girls to endeavor to emulate the virtues of the American hero. George Washington. But why do not parents, as stated by Prof. Smith in his address, visit the school more than they do? And why not show more interest in the work that is being done there, every day, for their children? Is the education and the training of their little ones of less impor tance than that of their mules and other stock? This was the point in Prof. Smith's brief address and it was well taken. It would be a delight to the teachers, said the instructor, if the parents would, every day, visit the school, to see what is being done there ; and how the future men jaud women of our country, were progressing to wards their manifest destiny, and give encouragement, by their presence, to the faithful workers in this excellent Insti tution. This we say, as one who enjoyed the well-arranged exercises 011 that occasion. There is 110 higher calling, save one, on earth, than that of the school-teacher, and that one, is the Ministry. But the rewards of both, lie far away in the mysterious realms of the blessed and glorious "beyond," and not here. SPECTATOR. Good Seed. The successful gardener or trucker attributes the good re sults of his labors to various conditions; but of paramount importance to him is the selec tion of the best seed. Without this he labors under very great disadvantage, since the same preparation of land, the same amount of fertilizer and labor is expended on poor as on good j [seed. In both cases the resultsj ure determined at harvest—the result never failing to be 111 favor of the one who has made a judicious selection of seed. No one who has had experi ence in the cultivation of vege tables, flowers or field crops ( will dispute this position. Such being accepted ns an indisputa ble fact, the most important inquiry is, "Where can T pur chase seed that are reliable?" We feel safe in recommending the seed sold by our druggists, Messrs. Hood & Grantham and Mr. C. L. Wilson. These firms ! carry all the latest and best 1 varieties, J TOBACCO It is not too late in the season to prepare your plant beds for tobacco and if you have not already burned aud prepared the beds, we would advise you to do so at once, it will not do to put it oft' longer. The acre age will not be deceased in this section and there is no good reason why it should when good prices were secured all last season and the prospects were never better for good prices for ■ the coming season. The tobac co men inform us that there is every prospect for good prices, that the present supply on hand i will force prices up. It is essential that you pre pare your land well. Plow ( your land deep and get it thoroughly pulverized and let ! it freeze. The Tobacconist says: The ■ American Tobacco Co., • has, t from all accounts a surplus of • stock, but that will not prevent i its piling up a bigger surplus ! if a formidable rival appears. ;• That is all the trust needs to i show that opposition advances prices, and monopoly keeps the ; values down. We have been 1 for months advising holders of 1 brights that the big buying of ' brights would occur in Englahd, [ there are others, in our opinion, ; will be bringing back the expor ; ted stocks for home use, We • also name February as the most active and highest of months ths for all kinds of North Car olina tobacco, all of which has i thus far proven correct. The Editor And The Grip. We have read about the grip, had thought that we had had it, we have heard about those aches, pains and soreness, that throbbing head and joints, fever and cold sweats, but could not enter into the spirit of the mat | ter. But now—well wo had the grip last week and our prayer now is : Lord have mer cy on anybody, anywhere on earth or in Cuba, in the moun tains or by the seashore, who has the grip. Just go and get you an old doctor's l>ook and compile all the symptoms, all the aches and pains laid down therein for every ill known to mankind and put them all under one bead and label it Grip and you have a good idea of this disease, the disease which your mother has told you about, which is talked about and which is ABorx, Oh, we had the g ri P "lf you're sore To the core, With aching bones And husky tones, When you speak, And you're weak In the knees, And you sneeze, And often cough Your head near oft, And you note, That your throat Feels quite raw, And your jaw Feels as if You'd got u biff, And dull pains Vex your brains, Then you've caught it, You have got it— It's the Grip. Tf you feel The heat steal O'er your frame Like a flame, Till you burn, And you yearn For chunks of ice At any price, Then like a Hash The shivers dash From head to feet, A chill complete, And you shake, And you quake And there desire For ;i fire, And something hot, Right on the spot, To quickly drink And you think, ( Right there and then, ( You'll ne'er be warm again. Then you've caught it, , You have got it— It's the Grip." ( NOTICE. By mutual consent the fif-m . of Cook & Cannady have dis- ( solved copartnership, J.

Following is taken from the Raleigh Post of Sunday : It looks now like North Caro lina is to be a prohibition State, or at least, that legislation by the present General Assembly proposes to enact a law regulat ing the manufacture and sale of spiritous liquors in the State which will make it all "for Buncombe." The fact is that a bill has passed both branches of the General Assembly which when operative will absolutely prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquors anywhere iu the State except in Buncombe county. This startling discov ery was made last night. The following are the provisions of the bill : Sec 1. That it shall be un lawful for any person to manu facture or sell any spirituous, vinous or malt liquors or brand ies anywhere except in the in corporated towns of Buncombe county. Section 2 makes it a misde meanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. It will be gratifyiug to many who are opposed to the inaugu ration af any such provisions ts this to know that according to the statement of one of "the gentlemen from Buncombe," this act cannot go into effect ivithin less than thirty days. And it will be a still greater *elief to these and many more ;o know that it was the origi lal purpose of the bill to have it ipply only to Buncombe county, vnd that it is possible and, in leed, probable that it will be so unended before ratification as ihat it will be only "for Buu iombe." oASToniA. Bean the Kind You Have Always Bought Court Proceedings. Several cases were disposed of at court last week, part-of , i which we give below : State vs Ruff Jernigan, Sam . McDougald and Garfield Cagle, affray. Sam guilty, judgement suspended as to Garfield. Ruff not guilty. State vs Dan Hawkins and ■ Geo. Johnson for breaking into the Duun Hardware and Fur niture Co's. and G. K. Mass engill's store. After evidence was offered by the State the at torneys for the defendant sub* initted to judgment of guilty George sent to the State pen for one year and Dan sent up for two years. State vs Cader Turlington and Geo. Harmon for forcible trespass, not guilty. State vs. Sam McDougald for larceny of bicj'cle and watch, guilty. Sent to the State pris i on for one year. There were a good many 1 cases for carrying concealed weapons punished with fine and | payment of cost. Several ! criminal cases disposed of. The i docket was nearly cleared. People were well pleased with j Solicitor Armistead Jones. ! Judge Starbuck gave general satisfaction. ALL CLASSES READ THE BANNER, $l.OO perjrea. T. C. Yin i El, GBiiEral M Dunn, JN. C.
