On the fourth page of this weeks
Advance is the account of a most
wonderful acenrrence from the pen
of Col U. W. Singeltary, formerly
editor of the Wilson's Plaiudealer
and Wilson- representative in the
Legislature. The Col. tells of a
strange accurrence and his article is
an unusually Interesting one.
A gentleman who was! going
through the country a few days ago,
stopped at Mrs. -Win. Wells, who
lives seven miles from town. She
says s tie's not been in Wilson since
Jonathan Kountree quit doiug
business here abopt twenty five
years' ago. Wouldn't she cpen her
eyes to see Wilson as it is to-day!

The Advance does not know of a
better opportunity to spend a short
while at the seaside. There will
be present a splendid Crowd, hotel
ami-railroad rates are exceptional
ly cheap and every effort has been
made to secure a good time for
those wbo are so fortunate as to go.
W e hope Wilson will be well rep
resented on this occasion.
We negrlected to state last week
that the Town Commissioners had
re-elected "Cousin" Jack Simms
as tax co'lector. Of course every
body knew that without saying so,
or-there never was a closer tax
collector. He lust worries the life
our of each supposed tax payer
until he gets the money. He's a
good one, any where you put him
provided you put him wuere he can
use his mouth vigorously.
Col. Worthington made a speech
in prosecuting, a case of larceny
that reflected much credit upon his
heart. The old man who was be
ing tried lor the onense, the evi
dence showed, was sot actuated by
malice, and the speech that our
generons hearted solicitor made
as-one that showed the. nobleness
of character with which he is bless
ed in a surprising degree. We
honor Col. Worthington for tha-t
speech. ?
A3i Appreciative Trituto-
For a good while Mr. W. P,
Simpson has been filling out the
papers for the Mexican pensioners
and one day last week theyBhowed
their appreciation of his kindness
in a very practical manner. The
Mexican veterans marctied in the
banking house of Branch & Co.,
and presented, through Jpo. F.
Brnton Esq., a gold headed cane
as an evidence of their appreciation
of his kindness. Mr. Simpson is
one of the most accommodating of
men and we've never met a man
with whom it is more pleasant to
do business.

press On Thurs-
Superior Court.
In last week's ADVANCE we gave
the proceedings of
the time we went to
day morning the case of Finch vs
Pearson was taken up and labored
with diligently all that day and the
next. After a lang tussle a
verdict was returned by the jury
in favor of Pearson. An appeal
was taken. The case of J. I. Hales
vs. J. J. ii. vicK createasome nciie
interest. It was a suit under the
statute for harboring a man who
had contracted to work lor Hales,
but who left him to keep his wife
and childern from starving. The
case was one calculated to arouse
the Sympathy of any man who
posesses a heart. It affords us
peculiar pleasure to say that the
verdict was in lavor of Vick. A
more righteous verdict was never
given.

Mr. W. Deans7 kitchen was
discovered to be on fire .last Satur
day night at about 10: 30 o'clock. It
burned to the ground, bnt the
house was saved, tliongh they were
very close to each other. The furni
ture was all moved out of the house
and there must consequently have
been considerable loss.
Nash Cstmty Tases. " :
The magistrates of Nash county
levied, on the first Monday in this
month, the following taxes for the
year: The tax on real estate be
put up to the "constitutional limit,

dollars on i the poll. Other taxes
were levied the same as

Needed. Improvements
The fire on last Satttrday 'night
Illustrates in the most practical
manner possible the need of a bet
ter water supply for the use of our
engine and the boys who oeiong to
the fire company. We learn that the
Town Commissioners oidered the
Mayor some time since to build
several more cisterns. Up to date
we have only three. We hope our
worthy Mayor (and he is an excel
lent officer) will have the other
cisterns built without' further de
lay.. We learn also that the Eoard
has also ordered asammer house
erected in Maplewood Cemetery.
We hope our Mayor will give his
immediate attention to these
things.
Handled Gently.'
Some little comment was caused
by the manner in which we report
ed the cases of State vs. Win. liar
riss and W. T. 'Karnes. Judgment
was not suspended in all four cases.
In onccasej Judgment was prayed,
prayer lor judgmeut continued and
defendants required to enter into a
bond of .;500 to show at the next
term of .ho Superior Court that
they had ceaei to keep a gaming
table. The practical results arc
the same as if judgment bad been
suspended. The facts are that ug
man seed lear to violate some laws
on our fcttttftes, further thaa the
amount ot co&ta aad lawyers fees.
The gentlemanly sport of keeping a
gambling den is too ."high toned''
to be dealt with by our court3 oth

That Mler-Tray Trunk- .
Jfumbers of persons have felt the
inconvenience in finding access to
the lower compartment of their
trnuks with the inevitable tray in
the way, to be lifted out at great
disadvantage to themselves. This
groat inconvenience has often de
tracted from the pleasure of a
journey or from the satisfaction of
rummaging in the contents of ones
own house the trunk at ho, re.
That trouble has been met and
annihilated, as will be seen in an
advertisement in this paper from
II. W. Itouutree e. liro., of lch.
mond. We have had the pleasure
of examining tua new Eoller-Tray
Trunk, and the new contrivance
enhances the importance of the
trunk at ooce, and renders its
frequent use a pleasure rather
than a task. It can be four-d for
sale at any first-class dealers. Go
and see the trunk and judge for
yourself.

Mr. W. P. Wooten, of our town,
is .Fresident of the Funeral Dir
ectors Assocition. At the meeting
held in Charlotte last week, he said,
in opening the meeting :
"lnereare twi ways certainly of
measuring time. ; One is by the
time piece, which tells the seconds.
minutes and hours, the other wav
is reckouing by what has been
suffered and accomplished. The
former belongs to the hermit; the
latter to tbe laboriug business man.
The history of the whole world
nnder the former may be set forth
in a few brief words ; nnder the
latter the heavens must need be
taken for a scroll and a cambric
needle for a pen.
, "Men of action are associating
themselves more noticeably now
than ever before in the history of
our State, and he who stoops to tie
his shoe string courts the danger
of being run over. As the world
moves forward we must advance
with it in the wisdom and educa
tion peculiar to the duties required
of, us, or we must give place to men
more worthy of the people's confidence.
"We have again assembled aa
Fnneral Directors for purposes well
known to us all. I assure you that
it gives me pleasure to greet you,
and to recognize in each one of yon
a friend and co-laborer in one com
mon cause that of mutual improve
ment and personal advancement in
our common business.
"Shall we not be diligent in per
fecting ourselves in a work whi'-h
draws upon the highest and finest
sensibilities of a mant and being
well aware of the trials and trying
scenes incident to our profession,
snouid we wot be awakened to a
just and generous sense of our obli
gations to each other, as men and
brethren in the interchange of
experiences and a liberal discussion
of questions which present them
selves for settlements f
Our association is increasing in
numbers, and our individual re
sponsibilities accumulate in the
same proportion; and while onr
union together is primarily a mat
ter of business, let us not forget
and sunn the opportunities we may
have for aiding morally and intel
lectually the weak and indifferent
ones among us.
I am indebted to vou for the
honor you have conferred upon
me. Although unworthy, I can
assure you that in serving vou I
have realized the great good which
must be ours if we fail uot in our
duties and undertakings.
I trust we shall have a pleasant
and profitable session, wlme here,
we are relieved ot home duties. Let
us rest together and remember
Rest is not quitting the busy ca
"reer : Rest is thefitting of one's self
tor his sphere.
RsckEidge Academy.
The closing exercises Rock Ridge
Acadeny .took place last Thursday.
The Advance would have been
represented but for the fact that
court was in session and that the
Local Editor was sick. The ex
ercises were Tery creditable, we
learn from thotte who had the good
fortune to be present on that in
teresting occassion. The children
showed that they bad been tangbt
by teachers (Miiwes Valley age
and Lee Parker) wbo threw in their
work their hearts and souls teach
ers who worked with earnestness
and enthusiasm. The address of I
Judge n. G. Connor ws what
might have bten exoected. It was
a speech to suit the occasion, in an
especial sense. It was filled with
common sense was filled with
information and advice which was
calculated to do good. No speech
has been delivered in Wilson coun
ty that was calculated to do great
er good and inspire those who
heard it more with a determination
to make their lives broader and
better. The Advance doea not
believe there is any section of Wil
son county where the people have
made more rapid strides in tbe
march of progresH than
in the section reacbod by Rock
Ridge Acadeny. Wonld that
every neighborhood in tbe State
was blessed with a similar school
and a similar spirit ot co-operation.

The musical concert of the Wil

last Thursday night. We desire to
congratulate Miss Lilly Gay, the
music teacher, upon the splendid

gramme was one exhibiting nnnsu
ai gooa taste, according to cur
opinion.
