WILMINGTON, N. C MONDAY, MAY 9. 1881

Oca li l &Ir. ."! gimu y
Mr. L. Megijney, an old and esteemed
resident of tliis city, died here yesttrday
morniug at 15 minutes pat 3 o'clock!
His deaih was not unexn- cled. As Le
had been ill for Kometime uiid it w,;b for -seen
last week : that hi end wa3 n;ar.
Air. Mpginney was a Baltimur. a ad
came to this city daring the yeur 184.).
as a teacher, to. take cli.ugn of M-.hool
which had a few years prevbur-ly bten
inaugurated here by the O-'d Feliowb'
Association. He came as lhe Enccessor
f Mr. McLaughlin, who hud resigned
the charge. . 1 1 was located on the cor
ner, of Fourth and Princess streets, in
the same building in which A' r. Mogin
ney has lived ever since he came to
Wilmington and in which be died. A
few years after his location lit re Mr.
Meginney purchased A he school and not
long afterwards the house and ground,
from the Association. -For ra tny years
previous to the war he conducted a very
flourishing school, but has not taught,
we think, since the earlier days of the
war. There was an interval of a year or
so, however, during the year 1852, dur
ing which Mr. Meginney retired and the
school was conducted by Hon. Geo. Y.
Strong, now of Raleigh, and Rev. Lucien
Holmes, now a minister in the Episcopal
Church.
There were many of the boys of Wil
mington of the period running from 1845
to 1860 who are indebted to Mr. Megin
ney's teachings for much of the sound
principles of their education. Indeed,
so many were they, that a good memory
could probably recall a hundred of them
now living. We haye gone over the list,
mentally, and can recall such names as
those of Gen. Wm. McRae, Maj. Robert
McRae (deceased) of the gallant 7th N.
O. Regiment; Rod McRae and Walter G.
McRae; Asa K. Walker, Cashier of the
First National Bank in this city; Wm.
A. Walker, formerly Secretary and
Treasurer of the Wilmington, Columbia
& Augusta.R. R:-, Capt. Wm. Smith, of
the C. C. R. W.; Col. H. (x. Fianner
(deceased) and his brothers, Andrew and
Bennett; Frank H. Mitchell, Esq., of
B. F. Mitchell & Son, this city; R. B.
Wood, bookkeeper at Messrs, Williams
& Murahison's and his brother Dr. Thos.
F.,Wood, Secretary of the State Board
of Health; Col. Roger Moore, of Pater
son, Downing & Co.; Wm. M. Poisson,
bookkeeper with Messrs. Adrian & Vol"
lers ; .Dr. iFred. Thompson, of Point
Caswell, and his brother, Simpson
Thompson; W. A. French, Esq., of
Messrs. Geo. R. French & Sons; Jno.
T. Williams and his brother, Capt. R.
D. Williams, of Co. I, 18th N. O. T.,
both deceased ; J no. Kent Brown, Sur
veyor, and his brother, Thos. A. Brown ;
Chas. R. Banks and John Banks, his
brother, and the Editor and Associate
Editor of this' paper. We write entirely
from memory, and these arc all of the
uamesfthat we can recall at this moment.
There was also a female department of
the school, and there are many ladies
resident hero now who were Mr. Megin
ney's pupils.
The remains were interred this morn
ing from St. James' Church, thence to
Oakdale Cemetery.
Mr. Meginney was born JSept. 5tb,
1812, near Baltraore, and was educated
at Dickson College, Penn. ne was
consequently iu the 69th year of. his age
at the time of his death.
First Excursion.
The Sunday School of the First Bap
iist Churcli will indulge in an excursion
to Waccamaw Lake on Wednesday
next. Ample accommodations will be
provided for those who attend. The
price for the round trip has been put
down to the low price of fifty cents. 'Vhe
train will leave on schedule time and
those contemplate going had better make
np their minds to be at .he depot before
the hour for the train to leave.
City Court.
His Honor Mayor Smith held an un
usually large levee this morning.
Junius Bell, drunk 'and down. Dis

down, fined U He paid up and was dis
charged. A white man charged with fast driv

Two whito men, charged with an af

-Two little darkies charged with steal

Court then adjourned. J
- Memorial Day.
While ear mind was dwelling epen
the thought that tomorrow was the
anniversary of the day upon which
the spirit of . the immortal Stonewal
winged its Sight, a day made sacred in
the eyes and hearts of all true Soathrons
ard consecrated -and hallowed by the
Siltma rae:noriu:erviees of each return
ing vrar, our eye chanced to rest upon he
by:iutifuily expressed thoughts upon the
subject in the Keu'hemian, which is
so in harmony with our own '.'feelings and
sentiments that we reproduce it entire
Our cutem porary expre&ses himself thus:
' TuayV'tne' 10 1 H Inst:; is M emorlal
day, a day hallowed and made almost
sacred in the Southern heart by the mem
ories tad but still glorious that cluster
around it; it is the day set apart to do
honor to noble deeds aud heroic.sacrifices.
The Confederate Mausoleums are. each a
Southern fc'ecca and are sacred to the
memory of high resolves and deeds of
daring. Years may come and years may
go, but the deeds of these sleeping he
roes, whose blood ensanguined all the
fields and whose bones whitened all the
asouthern hill-tops and plains, will live in
song and story till valor ceases to chal
lenge the admiration of , the brave and
Heroism is no more accounted a virtue.
But their sun has set, and the flag which
waved so bonny and so. brave, and which
carried so long victory in its fold is furl
ed. "On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
Ard glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead."
To Citizens Interested.
The ladies of the Association will be
designated by badges and none will be
allowed to enter the enclosure without
this distinctive mark except the mem
bers of the different organizations form
ing the procession. Through the efforts
of the Chief Marshal carriages will be
provided to bring those ladies of the As.
sociation back to their homes who may
have walked out, and have no means of
riding back. This is a kindly considera
tion that is appreciated. The public
tfre earnestly requested to fore-go lor
this one day in the three hundred and
sixty live, the decoration of private lots,
and give the flowers -thus usd to, the
adornment of the graves of those who
fought and bled and died for them. The
ladies of the Association do not thii.k
they are asking too much, or more than
is due the heroic dead. Those, there
fore, wno have flowers are respectfully
urged to devoted them too this cause
either in special tribute or by sending
them to the school room in the rear of
St. James Church, where the ladies of
the city one and all who are in sym
pathy with the objectsof the Association
are invited to meet and assist in arrang
ing garlands for the soldiers' graves.
Ladies Memorial, Association.
The Ladies of th Memorial Association
wish it understood, and we arc so request
ed to state, that no lady need be exclud
ed from membership who has ever con
tributed in interest-or money. Member
ship to the Association can be obtained
by handing name and subscription (fifty
cents) to the President, Vice President
or Secretary and Treasurer.
A Body Servant's Testimony
James H. Jones, the jailor, has two
pistols which were given him by ex-President
Davis. One is a Colt's pistol, the
other a highly finished duelling pistol.
Jones was ex-President Davis' body ser
vant for three years and was with him
when he was captured. He denies the
oft repeated story that Mr. Davis had on
a dress when he wa3 captured, and only
a few years sines published a denial of
this current story.
The foregoing is from Saturday's
civs and Obszrver, and .no doubt,
caught the eye of the gentleman men
tioned in the following paragraph which
we clip from Sunday's News Obser
ver: Professor Frank M. Smith, of Knox
ville, Tennessee, is stopping at the Yar
borough House. He was a member of
the last body guard which President
Jefferson Davis had, and on yesterday
had an interview with James II. Jones,
who was mentioned in yesterday's paper
a3 the body servant of President Davis.
Professor Smith found Jones to be in
possession of much valuable information
in regard to the trying times immediate
ly preceding the downfall of the Confed
eracy. The trusted body-servant spoke
in the highest terms of Mr. Davis,, and
thinks he has no superior anywhere.
