It is situate in the very outre of'a very fine farming section, On every side the lands are fertile anil cultivation is excellent. There is a rich country around to sustain a ibriving town. Green, Wilson Wayne, Nash, and other counties poswibly, contribute to the erowth and prosperity of this attractive town. Some of the best farms in the State lie not far from. Wilson. Since we visited Wilson in, 1881,. of .which we still have pleasant memories, the town lias spread out still wider and . . . . some tine dwellings and excellent stores have been erected.

We would rejoice to spend two such days again. t jThe:, Stajr,' has many friends in Wilson, we are glad to know. We hact the pleasure of meet ing onr brother Blount of the Mirror and found him as sedate as a maiden or sixteen and as quiet as an alder man : after a . big turtle-soup din ner. We are always glad to meet bo genial, . so amiable, so kindly and so gifted a member of the press. We failed to see brother Daniels, of tye Advance, who is attending the law school at Chapel HilL His as sociate, Mr. Daniel, we did not meet as owing to our attendance upon the Normal School' we. did not flhd;an opportunity of calling at the office. Both papers are well sustained. We met Judge Connor, one of Wilson's most esteemed citizens. He has just entered upon his judicial duties and we have no doubt .will so wear the ermine as to benefit the State and add to his own reputation. He , is only aboujty thirty-three years of. age, we think. He is a gentleman of high morale and greatly desires al ways to do what is right. We also met Mr. Hugh F. Murray, a lawyer of ., ability and cultivation, and a writer of some of the best sketches of North Carolinians that have ap peared in our State. We also had a pleasant meeting with our friend John E. Woodard, Esq., one of ,the most promising lawyers of his sec tion. He was an excellent member of the last Legislature as was also Judge Connor." But meeting so many we cannot mention any more by-name. The two days trip was refreshing and stimulating. Judge Lynch hanged a brutal negro at VYaaesDoro on tne za ot July. The punishment was sum mary. But is it not always best to protect society through the courts. We grant the offense was most vil- ainous and was admitted by the brute who" perpetrated it, but ;it wouloVimvo beer -better for society at large, we think, if the case had been tried in the regularly consti tuted courts. There was but little chance of his acquittal and the ynching might have come after wards if the court had failed to fur nish the needed protection. Some of the Northern secular pa pers are "mighty mad" with Rev. Sam Jones because he pitches into dancing and the German. They look at it from the standing-point of the world, and Rev. Sam from the high Christian standing-point, and so they fail to see the thing condemned in the same light. Our regular State news and other departments were prepared and crowded out by a super-abundance of telegraphic and local matter. ;We wilHry to avoid this another: day. r NBW ADVEUTIAHniKlf rN. !

It is called "Staining and Tucking," by which ' old, disfigured or rough looking brick buildings can be trans formed into what to all appearances would seem a new building, constructed pf the finest pressed brick, and at a nominal cost. The staining is done with a certain chemi cal preparation, which is -said to be manu factured with a view to durability and capacity to stand the assaults of the weather. The white lines are not painted or pen cilled, as is the usual way ; of doing, but some of the old' mortar is removed and fresh, white mortar placed in its stead. A specimen of the work can be seen on the old brick structure on the west side of Front, between - Orange and Ann streets, near the residence of Mr. W. G; Fowler.

Orr is a courteous gentleman and pleasing writer, and the, very man .fori the position he has taken. In - thorough accord with the administration, his writing will at all times be conservative and harmonious.

The Excursion on tne Steamer Paaa-port-How tne Day was Spent at the month of the Rlver!-The Annual Regatta of tine Carolina Yacht Clufc at Wrlfchtavllle. ' " in Wilmington the Fourth of July was a very quiet day. Business as a general thine was suspended on the wharves, but not many stores were closed. - Some of the merchants say they had a good day's trade. A large proportion of the white population left the city. The extent of the demand for vehicles was unprecedented, and all sorts of substitutes for comfortable conveyances were improvised, even to the using of goods boxes on wheels, while old worn-out wagons were patched up and brought into requisition, and in some instances a mule and a horse worked side, by side in- the effort to, conduce to the pleasure of the na tion's holiday. 1 This writer took his" chances on the steamer Passport, on which our contempo raries the Review and Presbyterian also had representatives. There was a large crowd on board, the day was. delightful, and ev erybody seemed to enjoy the trip to the fullest extent. A few of the ezcursionists got off at the "Rocks," where quite a crowd had preceded them on the steamer Susie. The fishing there was very good. W e saw some very fine sheephead. At Smithville a few more left the boat, but more got on, including a number of the Sumter (S. C.) visitors, some of whom wanted to go out on the ocean and others to participate in the dance at the pavilion. There was a fine breeze, but the ocean was comparative Iy snooth, notwithstanding which quite a number were constrained to pay the usual tribute to Neptune. Returning, an hour or so was spent very pleasantly at Smithville. Considerable im provements are going on there, including a number of new buildings . in course of erection, among which may be mentioned those of Messrs. Julius Newton and Walker Newton (side by side), James B. ROuark and S. P. Thorps, all on Bay street while Mr. Wni. Speaker and one or two others are preparing to build. We explored this seaside town more fully 4nan ever before, and were impressed (with others) as to its wonderful ' capacity and susceptibility of being transformed into one of the most attractive and delightful summer resorts on the whole Atlantic coast. All that is wanted is to have the attention of capitalists properly directed to its capabilities as a watering place, and it is to the interest of Wilmington as well as Sjnilhville to see that this is done. Oar Wilson friends caught another shark on tba 4tfr, which attracted considerable .attcnon, although - measuring only four feet ia length. ; --; ' The trip both up and down was enlivened by very, pretty music rendered by Pas cucci's string band. Everybody thought their "Climbing up the golden stairs" "just too awful sweet for anything." It has been resolved that a blank page be left in our record to commemorate the dis appointment, of t the unfortunate ones who "got left" on the wharf, and more especial ly of the gentleman whose wife was among the happy number onUhe boat, which pushed off while he was talking base ball to an appreciative auditor on an adjacent sidewalk. The revenue .cutter Colfax, which was anchored off Smithville, was duly decked out with flags, as was also the Signal offlce on shore., .-. . We are glad to learn1 that there are quite a large number of visitors at Smithville just now some say two or three hundred. -i THflt REGATTA. AT WBiaHTSVTIXH. There was a large crowd of people of both' sexes present to witness the first re gatta of. the Carolina Yacht Club for this season, which took place over the Wrights ville course. There was a stiff breeze blowing, and the accidents in consequence prevented as ' successful a race as would otherwise have resulted. . As it was, there was an'abundance of excitement and some little apprehension. The following yachts entered: Bubble,, Capt. Wright Stedman. ; Mabel, Capt. G. H. Smith. ' Glide, .Capt. Herbert Latimer. Restless Capt. J. McR. Cowan. - Loulie, Capt. J. W. Atkinson, Jr. Frolic, Capt; C. ,W.' Worth. Lillian Florence, Capt. H. M. Bowden. ' Rosa, Capt. W. L. Smith, Jr. ' Mist, Capt. John H. Daniel. Phantom, CaptD. M. Williams. , Ripple, Capt. Norwood Giles. Idler, Capt. Pembroke Jones. The time pf starling, the time of those which sailed to the finish, sad thelactual running time of those that came out with out accident, was as follows: Bubble started at 12:30; Mabel started at 12:80.50; Glide started at 12:31.55; Iiestlens started at 12:32; Loulie started at 12:32.10; Frolia started at 12:32.45; Lillian, Florence started at 12:32.55; Rota started at 123.40; Hist started at 12:34; Phantom started at 42:34.35; 'Mipple started at 12:35.10, and finished at i 2:26.02; actual running time 150.52; started at 12:36.45, and fin ished at 28.13; actual running time 1:51.- 28. ... - ' The Ripple and the Idler were the only boats that sailed to the finish without acci dent, except the Phantom, which came in too late to bo counted. Thi 'Bubble, the ifa6eZ,;the Glide, the Loulie, the Restless, and the Rosa all capsized at different stages of the race. The Lillian Florence fouled the Idler "and withdrew from the race.

Total 258 names paying $25,128.51. The two hundred and sixty eight names represent the leading business of the city in all its branches, and pay the principal part of the city taxes. Mr. Currie goes on further to say: , " We deem it unessential to urge the im portance of this enterprise to the favor of your honorable Board, for to every unpre judiced mind therecanbe but one opinion as to thefnture of Wilmington if the said road is extended here. .Success will crown the efforts of the new. energy, that wjll be in spired into all onr business by the comple tion of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad from the northeastern border of our own State to our 'City by the Sea,' ho say nothing of the immense products of the great Northwest, beyond our own borders, ttrat ultimately will seek the highway of the world through our' own capacious har bor."

WIN SLOW T As this question Is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unti ringly devoted her time and talents as a female Physician and nurse, principally Among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teeth ing. It operates like magic giving rest and hearth,' and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs, Wins low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor of her race; children certainly do bis up and bless her; especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are dailt sold and used here. We think Mrs. Winslow has Immortalized her name by this invaluable arti cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits, and unite in calling her blessed. No Mother has discharged her duty to hersuffer ing little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. winslow's Soothing Syrup' Try it, mothers tbt rr now.
