SMITH'S fct. Orders promptly filled. Genuine regret throughout our community and county is felt and expressed at the contemplated re moval on August 1st, of Mr. Albion Dunn to Greenville. Scotland Neck and Halifax county in his removal ose one of its most valuable and prominent citizens. Less than twenty-eight years of age, he stands in the front rank of the Halifax bar, a bar noted through out the Stat? for its character and ability. We doubt if any lawyer in the State his age has so large a prac tice and has attained such marked success in his profession. Highly educated, a hard worker, a close student, an eloquent and force ful speaker, possessing the combina tion of character, courage and abili ty thateverywhere command confi dence and respect, and withal a fine presence, no man is more splendidly equipped for the good citizen and strong lawyer. Never turning his back on friend or foe, firm in conviction, having both the courage and faculty of its expression, his forceful personality will impress itself upon any people. He has succeeded here; he will succeed there. To the people of Greenville and Pitt county we com mend him with assurance. To them .ve extend our congratulations; to him bur best wishes. Base Call.

Wood, pastor of the Presbyterin church at Weldon, will preach at the Methodist church here to-night (Thursday). The .public is cordially invited to come and hear Mr. Wood. Post Office Receipts.

This is a very healthy sign of growth for the town and commun ity. The gross receipts of the office amounted to $4,889.87.' Fish in Ice. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
