ELECTRIC LIGHTS. o Pursuant to appoint the- Street and Light committee of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Golds boro met at the city hall r ri day afternoon at 5 o'clock, to con side the feasibility of purchasing the plant of the Electric Light company of this city. Mr. o. Prank Alden, represent ing the company, was present, and explained the cost of maintaining the plant. He said the total cost for one year would not exceed 3.500. and that the city of Goldsboro now paid 1,900 that amount The committee were of opinion tnat tne city woultl act wisely to buy the outfit, and, therefore, did not ask for the terms of sale, or for the figures at which the company wrould be will mg to part with it. It seemed to be the concensus of opinion of the committee that the city needed more arc lights. They want to place arc lights at every other" corner on the principal streets throughout the business parts of the city, and leave the incandescent lights on the outer edge. "With this that he holds out. Preaching to morrow at 11 a. m. and 8.30. Right much favorable com.", ment has been made on the liber ality and philanthropic spirit of Mr. Henry Weil, of this city, ia giving neat sums of gold annu ally to the most advanced young lady and young gentleman of the graduating class of the Golds- boro Graded School. Mr. Weil is an ardent supporter and ad mirer of the school, and this is only ono of the many liberal acts of encouragement that is prompted by his unselfish na ture. The happy recipients of this reward Friday night, at the giaduating exercises of .the class in the Opera House, were Miss Myrther Tull Wilson and Mr. W. Frank Bryan. Mr. Bryan also won the University Scholarship, ) township. The parties to the contract were Mr. Franklin Howell and Miss Smithy Ander son, both 22 years of age. They were unaccompanied by friends or relatives and sought the silent halls of the tabernacle of justice to consecrate their nuptials. Justice u. J. 15 road burst per formed the ceremony.

' Danna says all he wants for his pains is glory. Dazzling as the fflorV must be, he didn't wink when he said it. of the net end m view, the committee asked Mr. Al den to investigate and find out how many additional arc lights would be necessary to thoroughly light the city and approximate the additional cost. Mr. Alden said he thought his company would incur the extra expense, provided the city would sign a contract to use the lights for a term of three or five years. The arc light at the yards of the Southern raiway in this city has been "cut '"off," on account of their refusing to pay for it. Mr Borden, of the committee, spoke of this, and said further, that the W. & .W.-R. R. was now pajTing for three lights along their ne through the city, an- act that he considered more than liberal, and for which they were to be com- mended. - The committee adjourned with out. taking any definite steps until Mr. Alden hears from his -com nanv in regard to additional arc lights and their cost.

A sea of anxious faces watch ed the great curtain as it was slowly rolled up in the Messen ger opera houseFf idaynight.The scene that followed caused many hearts in the large audience present to swell with pardon able pride. The graduating class of the Goldsboro Graded Schoo', consisting of eight blushing maidensand three gallant youth?, made their appearance from be hind the scenes, the girls coming in two by two, all dressed in white, and carrying equisite bpuquets of flowers, and the boys in the rear. The eleven grad uates took as many seats that had been placed in a half circle on the left wjng cf the stage, while on the opposite side sat Profs. G. T. Winston, J. I. Foust and H, G. Couuor, and Hon. C. B. Aycock. The excercises of the evening were opened with a fervent and elcqueut prayer by Rev. F. D. Swindell, after which Prof Foust greeted the audience aud announced that histories of the school had been written by mem bers of the graduating class and submitted to a committee, who selected the one written by Mr. W. Frank Bryan as the most ac curate. Mr. Bryan then read from manuscript to the listening audience the history of the school compiled by 'hituseif. When he finished there was great applause and large bouquets from the audience were showered at his feet.-- Prof, foust iu a happ" manner introduced the orator of the oc casion, frot. ij. l. Winston, president of the University of North Carolina, whospok-) upon rhe Influence of the Goldsboro Graded School Upon Educatiou in North Caroliua." His remarks were frequently interrupted by deafening applause. His words of praise for the scaool were as sweet melodies falling on the ears of the audience, whose hearts were tuned in accord. His speech was full of encom-. urns of the school, and was a comprehensive review of its able and proficient superintend dents, principals, teachers, and boards of trustees from its be ginuinr, fifteen years ago, to the present time. Prof. Winston compared the school attendance and the per capita cost when it was a private institution in the same building to tne present large enrollment of pupils and the insignificant cost. His en lire speech was replete with en nobling sentiments, clothed in ornate syllables and terminating in felicitous climaxes. His noble appeal to the graduating class was impressive, and must have carried to their hearts inspira tion and made their pulses beat wildly with loftly ambition. After the eloquent address of Prof. Winston, Prof. Foust in troduced the chairman of the board of trustees, Hon. C B. Aycock, . whose duty it was to present to the graduating class the diplomas. Mr. Aycock arose and said some very encouraging Words about the school, and then turned to the class and in im pressive tones made them an el oquent appeal to use the in struction that had been so freely given them by the people of Goldsboro for the unbuilding of the community and for the en lightenment of others. Ke then delivered to each one their cer tificates of graduation. The following comprise the class: Wm. Frank Bryan, Hugh Hunt Broadhurst, Sallie Roena Lee, Helen Hope Privett, Ella Bradford Hyman, Mittie Pender Lewis, Myrther Tull Wilson, Cora Cornelia Dail, Virginia Josephine Arnold, Evelyn Priv ett, Hattie Anne Midyette, Wil liam Clement Munroe, Jr. Just at this juncture occurred a pleasant incident not down on the programme. Prof. Foust ap? peared before the footlights and said in felicitous tones that that public benefactor and philan thropist Mr. Heary Weil, of this city, bad placed in his hands the previous afternoon $40 in gold, to be devided between the young lady and the young gentleman of the graduating class who had received the highest marks of scholarship. Mr. Foust said that the foregoing stipulation would entitle Miss Myrther Wilson and Mr. W. Frank Bryan to thehana some present. ; Prof, ti. G. Conner, a xormer principal of the Goldsboro Grad ed fccnoois, was cnosen to pre sent - the ?' valuable 'reward of merit to its worthy Recipients, who stood up while he uttered Prof. Foust read an abstract from his annual report to th) board of trustees in regard tothe library of Ue srhool, showing that 2.300 books had beeu read by the pupils of the schojl du ing th-f past session. Prof. Winston announced that the institution of which he was president the University of North Caroliua awarded a scholarship annually to the high est male graduate of the Golds boro Graded School and that Mr. W. Erank Bryan would receive it for this term. This closed one of the most in teresting and impressive grad uating exercises ttiat the Golds boro. Graded School has ever held. Bottled Up ! OCR UHAUEU SCHOOL. One thing tl at makes Golds boro pre eminently the home of the Graded School is the senti ment that pervades the com munity in favor of public 'iduca tion. A people who, as one man, agree upon the advance ment of any scheme are sure to succeed. This is the temper of the people of Goldsboro towards the Graded School. There is tht exhibition of broad-minded pa triotism on tie part of certain ot our leading citizens in favor of our schools that should serve as an object lesson, not only to the people, our people of the present, bu'. which should appeal s'rongly to the magnanimity of future generations, we refer to the fact that some of our citizens, notably two of them, whom we need not name, who, though they arc among the very largest of our taxpayers, and pay an nually large amounts to the sup port of the schools in addition thereto have from the beginning!, of our schools, given of their personal attention, as members of the Board of Trustees, to the up building and extensivm of this splendid institution. A scLool thus founded upon the affec tiouS of all classes of the people is sure to prove ablessing to any community, and we believe that our school has, t hrough the try ing ordeal that wre have passed, proven to be the very life of our town and community. An observant citizen remarked to-day, that all of the industries. except perhaps one, that insure the future welfare and prosper ity of our town, have been started since the beginning of our Graded Schools, and it is more than mortal man can d ), to tell how much of that splendid future that seems to be opening up before our people caa be traced to the influence of this grand sentiment that has made possible such a spleudid institu tion as the Goldsboro Graded Schools. Words, mere words, though, seem weak when we try to express our appreciation oj our great school. It certainly is disheartening- to a pa tient to find that the treatment he is given for a disease is more disastrous than the disease itself. Such is the case, however, with the usual treat ment given for diseases of the blood. Notwithstanding1 the great progress made in many branches of medicine, the doctors have failed absolutely to find a successful treatment for blood poison, and the many diseases having their origin in the blood. They give but one kind of medicine, they know but one treatment, and whether in the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doctor's prescription is always the same potash or mercury. Too much cannot be said of the harm ful and disastrous effectsof these drugs. The doctors are unable to rid the sys tem of the poison, and direct their efforts toward covering up the symp toms from view. There is but one ef fect to be obtained from potash and mercury they bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but it must be remembered that they dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time, gradually consuming the vital ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored splotches are but indications of worse results to follow. No sooner has the system taken on the full effects of this powerful drug than that suppleness and elasticity of the joints gives vcay to a stiffness, followed by the racking pains of rheumatism.

Under this treatment, it is but a short step from vigor and health to a pair of crutches. With this wreck of the system often comes falling of the hair and eyebrows, loss of finger nails, and decay of the bones a condition most horrible. This is; no overdrawn picture, for the world to-day is full of these hobbling mercurial wrecks. Contagious Blood Poison is the most horrible of all diseases, and has been appropriately called the curse of man kind. Until the discovery of S. S. S., it was incurable. It has always baf fled the doctors, and it is in this dis ease that the evils of mercury and potash are most common, because these drugs are given in such large doses in an effort to counteract the poison. While they succeed in bottling up the poison in the system, it always breaks forth again, attacking some delicate organ, frequently the mouth and throat, filling them with eating sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure for this terrible disease. It is the same in other diseases of the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, all are given the same treatment by the physicians mercury and potash, and the result as above set forth is always the same. We offer a-remedy purely vegetable, powerful in its effect, yet harmless in every way. For fifty years S. S. S. has been curing blood diseases, from the most violent to the mildest case, after all other treatment failed. It is guaranteed purely vegetable, and one thousand dollars reward is offered for proof to the contrary. It is a real blood remedy for real blood troubles, and never fails to cut Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu matism, Cancer, or any other disease of the blood.

V Verv respectfully, Goldsboro Rice Mill- Principal Dillard's Report to Super intendent Foust Prof. J. I. Foust, Superinten dent of City Graded Schools. Dear Sir: The educational work among the colored people of the City of Goldsboro had its origin as early as th Fall- of 1865. The Society of Friends, of Philadelphia, supplemented the public fund and conducted the first school. Fi : 'ere ciuse this aid was v -practically ended, for the iim being, educational operations un til the passage of the present act of the Legislature; which created Graded Schools for both racas. This gracious act put the school upon a firm basis and originated popular education among the colored people- For nine years we have had most excellent schools, and the best system for training the young. At no time have the facilities for improvement and efficiency been better than now. During this Fcbolastic year we have enrolled five hundred and eighty six pupils, the largest number yet attained. We were forced to organize an extension school, and employ an additional teacher, in the person of Mrs. A. B. Scott. Mrs. W. A. Smith, who never begins teaching uutil after the holidays, began this year at the opening of the session. The work done in all the grades has been thorough and complete. This is attested (1) by the progress of the pu pils; (2) by the speeches and pub lications of many of the leading educators of the race who have visited us. Thtrtyfive pupils have com pleted the prescribed course, and will enter the Normal School next year. This is another rec- ord breaker. All of this grows out of the fact that our teachers are eminently fitted for the work, haviug enjoyed rare opportuni ties. For nine years they have been under the instruction of some of the ablest, and foremost educators of the State, if not of the South. In graded school work, ours have few equals and no superiors. We take the leading school journals, &c. on teaching, and adopt the latest and most ap proved methods. Your lectures during the year on the theory and practice of teaching, have been interesting and very instructive. The for cible, pointed and perspicuous manner in which thought has been presented, has better en abled us to stimulate, direct and guide the children committed to our care. Another hopeful sign ot the progress of our people is seen in the interest they are taking in education; the per cent, of at tendance for the year is remark able. There is such confidence in the school until a parochial or private school of any note is an impossibility. Scores of young men and wo men who receive their inspira tion from our school, have grad uated with honor from many of our leading Colleges and Semi naries, and are tilling important positions. The teachers have all labored assiduously to make this the 'Educational Year" in graded school life. They have been faithful to duty and loyal to all your instructions. W ith the proceeds of our con cert of last vear we have sup plied all the grades with sup plementary reading matter. And now on the part or tne teachers we desire to express to you many thanks for the inter est you have taken in popular education among us regard, I am Your obedient C. REGULATOR?
