Patsy- Johnson, aged 79 years.
The family were gathered at the

a snoon she seemed to colapse. At
once she was immediately
carried '

utes life was extinct. She was ap
parently as well as ever, till the
moment of her death.

Hie meeting, w as called to order by
J. M.Cutcliin Esq., who exjilaineil
the object of the meeting and spoke
at some length upon the incoinen
iences we were now laboring under,
and the need and necessity of our
having a new county. 'On" motion
of J. M. Cutchin, M.J. P.attle Fsq.
was elected chairman of committee
and presided over the meeting.lKA.
Taylor was elected Secretary. J.
G. Bellamy assistant Secretary.
On niotionof W. W. Watsoii, the
Secretary read the proceedings of
the last meeting, - and1 the; com
mittee to report as their names
were called. The committee-without
a single exception made a very
favorable report, said they we re
vet to meet with a man that did
not favor a new comity.
-On motion .of Dr W.'ll. Cobb the
chairman was empowered to ap
point ten more committeemen
(twenty) raking three from Halifax
Co. ;l .
- On motion of J. II. Pimiin Fso.-
it was moved that five of the Com

Deak Advakce Your corres
pondent paid our county Capitol,
Snow Hill, a short-visit on Monday
last. Indeed I might say that I
was more than surprised, to see so
many new"aud attractive improve
ments about the town. The long
and neatly completed bridge across
Contentnea creek leading into the
town, is one of the largest and most
substantial in the State, it is truly
an ornament to the town of Snow
Hill. I noticed quite a number of
new residences that have recently
been built in the'place, and finished
oil" in modern and elegant style.
There are also several large stores
on Main street. Dr. W. O. Gallo
way is having a handsome Drug
store erected, and will soon open a
Drug store, which, has long been
needed in this place.- Messrs, W.
H. Dail & Bro. have three large
stores combined and they' present
quite a city like appearance. 1
was told that this firm alone, sold
over fifty- thousand dollars worth of
goods annually. This extensive
house controls the trade of the town
and furnish the farmers largely in
supplies. Messrs. Exuru & Potter,
on the some street do a thriving
business in their line. Messrs. Dix
on & Grimsley another enterpris
ing firm aie doing a lively business
in that town. Mr. Mack Pate, for
merly of Wilson, is there running
a first class coach factory business.
He has been therefor several years
and I am glad to know that he is
doing well. There are other large
business houses in the place who
deal largely in cotton and farmers
supplies, and had I time and space
would make mention of them,
There are large quantities of cot
ton brought to this market, really
more than anyone might imagine,
owing to the fact that the town has
had no railroad facilities, however
I am glad to sav, that through the
excellent management of Gen. Ilo
bert Kauson, that Conteutuea creek
lias been thoroughly cleaned out,
and is now navigable from that
point. The Steamer "Conteuthea"
by Capt. Webb, makes regular trips,
from that place to New Bern N. C.
This new steam line will no doubt
prove to be quite beneficial to the
merchants and other business men
of the Snow Hill section.
The legal profession is ably rep
resented in this town, by Messrs.
W.J. Monroe, Ed. Albritton and Mr
John W. Blount, the latter being
well known in vour town and county-
The people of Snow Hill, want a
Graded School. There is no reason
why they should not have one. I
am sure that - it would add to the
educational advantages of the
town.
Notwithstanding the town aud
county 1 officers are "Rads," the
county financially stands No. I.
Our present Sheriff Lub- Harper,
is highly esteemed by both parties
iii this county. He was the only
democrat that was elected in this
county at the late county election.
He is the man for the people, and
makes a most excellent Sheriff.
Mr. John D. Dixon, our Register
oi ueeus, nas a ueatiy arrangeu oi
flee in the Court House, and he is
clever and polite, and has won a
great many warm 'friends during
his connection with the office.
Mr, D. W. Patrick, our Probate
Judge and Superior Court Clerk,
has Mien that otlice in this county
tor the past twelve years with cred
it to himself and to our whole com
munity. I will not forget to mention John
Dail Esq., our present clever depu
ty Sheriff, to him, we are indebted
for many kindnesses and courtesies
shown ns during our short visit to
the town. John is a good fellow and
makes a useful officer.
The only thing that I saw during
my short stay in the place that
elicited any unfavorable comment
was the fact that the county jail
was full of prisoners, thev being
'mostly colored."
Snow Hill is on the rapid road
of progress, and lt no distant day
will rank among the large towns of
North Carolina.
Lverything is exceedingly quiet
at Speights- Bridge at this time,
and the godess of dullness reigns
triumphantly.
It was reported here a few weeks

THE 22D AT THE UXIVEKSITT
Iupersuauce of a time honored
custom the Collect' authoritips
j-served a holiday in honor of Wash
ington.-. It has also -'been for many
years the custom for the day to be
velebrated by exercises commemo
rative of his eminent services.
The leading features of which be
ing an address delivered by au ora
tor chosen from the body V of the
students. To day Mr. BadelitTf.
from Wilmington filled that honora -
oie jiosr, ana well did he sustain ;
himself in a position which so !
many of the shining lights of thei
University have graced before him. I
The unique characteristic of his!
oration was the entire absence of the j
sterotyped fulsome adulation gen-;
erally heaped upon the memory of j
the '-father of his country" on such i
occasion. Indeed, the orator, "with j
happy tact, directed his remarks!
into an entirely different channel, '
selecting as In subject
. hi.- snhiprr, A Inlti- :
ideal essential to national - srreat -
ness." In rapid review he glanced
at the leading civilzations of the
pat, adverting more especially to
the standard of excellence that was
adopted as.au ideal by the Greek
aud Roman, and coming to the
later times, by the Monk and Knight.
He showed that in proportion to the
loftiness of the ideal toward which
each aspired was the degree of ex
cellence each attained, attributing
the decline that ultimately over
took them all to the imperfections
of this respective ideal. The Greek
amid his aspirations of the attain
ment of the beautiful, and the rem
nants of Grecian art attest the suc
cessful exercise of his genius in that
direction. The orator here con
trasted the prosaic spirit of the age
with the aesthetic enthusiam that 1
developed the Greek into a ! place
of earthly Apollos, and illustrated
the decline of physical beauty, by
a reference to the sensation cre
ated in two continents by that
"Symphony in blue and pink" the
beautiful Mrs Langtry. The lead
ing characteristic of the Roman,
as the speaker proceeded to set
forth, was his reverence for the
law. By the thoroughness with
which he learned the lesson of
obedience he acquired that marvel
ous capacity to command by which
the nations of the known earth
were brought to recognize his su
premacy. But the law itself must
be perfect for true national great
ness to follow from obedience even
the most implicit. Morality did
not assert her sway over the degen
erate Romans, and the mighty em
pire fell before the corroding tooth
of corruption. The Monk next
arose, the most conspicuous figure
upon the stage of European socie
ty. But the Celibatisvow is repug
nant to the primal laws of our nature,
and the sober sense of mankind
soon discovered that the spiritual
purification attained by chast euings
of the flesh was not of a specious
deceptive character. The Kuight
next appeared in his glittering
armour aud for. a time battled in
the tourney list to win the smiles of
Dauty, or f ailed iorth to rescue
trembling maidens from the fangs
of impossible dragons. The
growth of utilitarian ideas, stimulat
ed bv the pitiless sarcasm of Our
vantes, soon terminated his brilliant
career, aud, as the product of so
cial forces long silently operating,
the English speaking races of the
present now stand forth the lead
ing type of modern civilization.
The further progress of our race,
the speaker asserted, depends upon
the nobility of. the ideal toward
which we shall press, and he closed
with the hope, eloquently uttered,
that the cultivation of manly vir
tues may advance the race to that
summit of human excellence upon
which the Utopian fancy of the
poet delights to linger. The flash
es of wit that relieved the solidity
of the address, I will not- attempt
to communicate. I only add tha
the orator may well be grateful to
Washington, not only in common
with every lover of liberty, but indi
rectly for the laurels that crown
him to-day. The marshals of the
occasion secured the Varalla string
baud of Raleigh, and the strains of
music discoursed in the Hall were
ravishing anil inspiring. Pardon
prolixity. ' X.
