A Venerable Citizen.
While at Daplin Court we had the
pleasure of meeting with the venerable
James Dickson, more familiarly known
as Uncle Jimmy Dickson and having a
brief conversation with him. Mr. Dick
son was born in, Jane, 1791. and, conse
quently, is within a few days of being 89
years of age. He was for many years the
Clerk of the Superior Court of Duplin
county and' a faithful and efficient officer.
Although it is many years since his re
tirement from official life, he has always
taken a lively interest in public affairs so
far as they have related to tho welfare and
prosperity of his county. His general
health is remarkably good, although he is
very much enfeebled by the infirmities
iucidentto his advanced age. Mr. Dick
son has a sister (Mrs Benjamin Oliver)
living, who is two yeara his senior, being
now 91 years of age.
