Mr. Woodard, the Town Attorney is one of the brightest members of the profession in this part of North Caro lina. He possesses ability, brains and is versed in practice. Of the police force it is unnecessa ry to say one word of praise. The people of Wilson know we have the best and most efficient corps in the State. Brave, vigilant and ever courteous they deserved the compli ment of a re-election. Mayor Green and gentlemen, the Advance salutes you ! Superior Court.

The criminal and civil dockets were finished yesterday evenintr and Judge Whitaker discharged all ju rors. The Grand Jury will finish its work and probably be discharged to day. Judge Whitaker is business from the time he walks in a court room on Monday morning until the jurors are discharged. He is en larging the favorable impression his first appearance created upon Wilson people. The girls are free ! For ten months the pupils of Wil son Collegiate Institute have worked faithfully. They have studied assid ouously. The winding up was a grand success. The finale last night was a magnificent triumph. The young ladies are glad it is all over. Now they can take a deserved rest, and enjoy a well earned vacation. The Advance hopes every pupil of the school will enjoy a pleasant va cation. The programme for Tuesday night led off with the Celebrated March From Faust (Gounnod) rendered by Misses N. Harrison, J. Gay, S. Blount and I. Deans. This was fol lowed by a chorus "On the Sea" (Little Tycoon) by the class, which was heartily applauded. Fra Diovolo, Overture, (C. Czer ny) by Misses I. Warren, A. Moore, Z. Winstead, B. Harris, A. Simpson and A. Norris, immediately preced ed an iustrumental solo, Last Idea of Weber, (H. Cramer) exceptionally well rendered by Miss B. Harris. Then came the feature of the even ing, for which the above was the pre face and for which the chapel full of people were eagerly awaiting, the address by Walter R. Henry, Esq., of Henderson, N. C. We had heard much of Vance County's talented son and read more; yet we were not prepared for what he gave us. He was introduced by Mr. J. E. Woodard in a few appropriate words, expressing his pleasure in being able to present such a man to this people. On the rostrum were seated Judge Spier Whitaker, Drs. A. Anderson, C. E. Moore, N. An derson, Col. J. F. Brutdn, Rev. H. W. Battle, Rev. Jno N. Cole, Messrs. Jacob Battle, W. H. Blount, F. A. Woodard, G. W. Blount, C. F. Wilson and Prof. E. L. Middleton. Mr. Henry's address was in manu script, which he used- freely. But he was not confined entirely to it. His theme was woman and it is not say ing too much to say he did it full and ample justice. It was a magnificent panegyric to the worth and influence of the sex. As an historical produc tion it was very valuable. He traced through all the past the course of woman's influence and deeds. He showed how they had ruled the world. Such tremendous research evidenced the scholar and patient student. It evidenced hours of pain ful labor. It breathed the smoke of the mid night lamp. And through it all there breathed the soul of a chivalrous, courtly, southern gentle man, afire with love arid esteem and high regard for man's better half, God's last and best gilt to man. No synopsis of Mr. Henry's address can do it justice. We attempt none. We are sure we cannot praise it too highly, nor can we grow extravagant in hearty commendation of it. Mr. Henry, ia first, a brilliant man ; sec ond, a ripe orator; third, a thoughtful siuoeni ; iounm, a ponsneo. cnnstian tlic btate. Uur people are glad to known they have such an institution here. They are proud of it. They congratulate Prof. Warren. The Ad vance does so most heartily. Miss Lillie Gay, who supervised the Concert, and to whose untiring labors is due the success attained last evening, has had charge of the music department for the past several years. The deft skill exhibited by her pupils reflect much credit upon her. She may well be proud, of them, and they may feel proud to have had such a teacher. The next session opens the first Monday in September. The Freshet. It was almost a flood. Such a rain as fell in Wilson and Nash counties Tuesday night of last week was never known before. And then all day Wednesday and Wednesday night the flood poured down. All the streams in this county were flood ed with water. It rose above the banks. It took to the fields. It spread out over corn and cotton crops with amiable impartiality. The lands of the just and unjust were equally covered. Nobody was slight ed. On the torrents relendess bosom, turbulently tossed, wrecks of bridges, mill dams, mill houses, plank and rail fences fitfully floated. About ten o'clock Thursday morning the bridge across Contentnea Creek at Wiggins Mill was floated away. In the mill house the water was three feet deep. Many Wilson people visited the scene to see the water hieher at this point than in the memory ol the old est inhabitant. . Mr. J. T. Wiggins stood anxiously around watching his property. The crisis passed, the house was left standing, and he went his way rejoicing. Every bridge across the the stream was impassable on Saturday and Sunday. Much damage has been done in Wilson county. It will cost nearly $2,000 to repair the damage to the bridges. The one at Wiggin's mill will cost at least $1,000. At Rocky Mount on Thursday the river was three miles wide. Mr. W. D. Stokes, of Battleboro, told us that the water was two inches above the high water , mark of 1887, and that was the highest since 1840. In 30 hours from 6 o'clock Tuesday evening of last week the river rose 1 5 feet. Mr. Eli Sasser has a mill in Wayne county. He had only an ordinary head of water. After the rain the pond began to rise. He opened the gates. It continued to rise. He knocked out the bulk heads under the mill house. But it did no good. In twenty minutes the water had ' run over the dam and floated his mill house down the creek. It was a to tal wreck. When a married man buttons his suspenders on eight-penny nails it is sure evidence that he has been disap pointed in love, or in marriage. If you decide, from what you have heard or read, that you will take Hood's Sarsaparilla, do not be induc ed to buy any substitute instead. HOME ITEMS. Some Fine Tobacc gentleman. Will his address do srood ? Yes! Every man and woman who heard it has a higher conception of the duty, the responsibility, and the in fluences of life. His sentences, spark ling gems, were gathered up and stored aw ay in memory's closet. The address made a profound impression upon Wilson people. Mr. Henry was the recipient of three handsome boquets of roses from Wilson ladies, as evidencing their appreciation of his magnificent oration. Through some mistake , they were not publicly presented. At the conclusion of the address Misses A. Moore, B. Harris, S. Gay and I. Batts rendered an overature. Quartette, Homage a Verdi, (Duroe) and the audience was dismissed. the concert. Last night at an early hour every seat in the spacious chapel was occu pied. At 8:15 standing room was at a premium. The gallery and win dows were crowded with patrons and friends of the Institute to hear the annual concert. It was a good natured audience and, considering the intense heat, well-behaved. The following programme was pre sented 1 j MARRIED. In Saratoga Wednesday night of last week Mr. John Strickland to Miss Ellja Owens, Eld. Thos. Moore officiating.

SCROFULA It Is that impurity in the blood, which, ac cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blinduess or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can cerous growths, or the many other manifesta tions usually ascribed to " humors; " which, fastening uion the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, It is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from IU. HrBcr cured By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished often when other medicines have failed, has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula, be sure to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. My daughterMary was afflicted with scrof ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months old till she became six years of age. Lump formed in her neck, and one of them after growing to the size of a pigeon's egg, became a running sore for over three years. Wo gave ner Hood's Sarsaparilla, when the lump and all indications of scrofula entirely dis appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy child." J. S. Cakltle, Nauright, N. J. X. B.
