He had a moderately large audience and all who attended ex press themselves as highly pleased. It gives us much pleasure to hear frequent mention of the faithful ness, dfligence and success as a f-chr in thft Xixonton school, of Mis Salhe Cox, of Hertford, daugh ter of our old friend Dr. David Cox, of Hertford. She was in town on Saturday and we hope'd to have the pleasure of a call. Little-Ion Female College has an advertisement in another column of this paper. This Institution has had a remarkable history and stands in the front rank of Xorth Carolina Colleges for the education of youDg ladies. It is perhaps the best lo cateel school in the State for patron age from this section. Read the advertisement and write for cata logue. We call special attention to the. iloral advertisement of 3Ir. J. D Williams, of Wilson. Ho will be in Elizabeth City part of next week and will tio next to Edenton. He is thankful to the people of this town for their liberal orders for rare plants and flowers. He is highly recommended and eleserves patron age. for the refining inlluence of his beautiful business. A question for our city stepfatli ers to consider is: If the "outstand ing elebt of the corporation is I.IGS.IG and the money in the Treasury is J?1,S81.01," why, in the name of all that is holy, elon't they pay eff, the indebtedness, savo the H per cent, interest of the 'electric light dibt of over 3,400, and ease the shoulders of the tax payers of the ten per cent, additional. What right have the authorities to refuse to pay orders when presented, while money is m the Treasury. IK We were much gratified to see the mention of the name of Mr. Per cy McMullan, of Hcrtfonl, son of our friend Lucullus, with three oth er members of the Junior class at the University, as being entitletl to. sjecial honors for attainments and ileiort merit in their, college course. Now, that makes us ask ourself the question : What makes the McMul lan blood alwavs so successful in the tight of life ? Turn about is fair plav. Aint it time for the McMul lan to turn about and fall back f la business they are all a success. In iolitics Lucullus, tho a labor ing man, is a gohl bug and conse ouentlv a failure. His backbono is too stiff for a poHician. The Public Schoof The Closing Exerqses of the Pub lic School last week were creditable alike to the Principal, his assistants and the pupils. At tho close of tho entertainment in tho Courthouse, the honors were awarded as follows: The first meelal was awarded to Miss Julian C.

The second medal as a similar testi monial Was awardeel to Miss Katie Banks, i In the boy's elepartment the 1st medal was awarded to Irvine Morris J and the 2nd medal was awarded to Thomas Markham. i.

The successful competitors for the. scholarships are of the highest rank in the school for scholarship, regularity a deportment. A Plucky North" Carolirttan. We couldn't help feeling proud at seeing an account of an incident in a late number of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, of a man named Tom Skinner, who was born and raised in Halifax county, North Carolina, who had the pride of place and section in his blood and conduct, on the National Memorial Day in S .Louis. The city was gay with Xational flags and floral deco ration. From every window Feder al flags floated and the people were joyous in their holiday jubilation. Tom Skinner had a large Confeder ate flag, given him by his father, who was a Confederate soldier, whicli he prized beyond gold and pre cious stones. He took it from his trunk where it was 'preserved, flung it to the breeze from an up per window of the house in which he lived, and was happy. Pretty soon a squad of angry men rushed into his room and ordered him to take down that flag, which order he refused to obey. They attempted to enforce, their order by vi&lence. He struck put from the shoulder right and left. He doubled up and piled half a dozen of them one on top of the other. But alas ! while he was busily engaged in this heroic work, another squad, who were not in the fiuht. took the Confederate flag, elragged it in the street and tore it into infinitessimal strips Whose was the victory ? This incident in St. Louis puts us to moraljzing. "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church," sayeth the proverb. That torn Con 'federate flag was the seed of venom and gall and wormwood. Is not this holiday rejoicing and monu ment building to commemorate one of the saddest pages in human his ton, all wrong ? If commemorated at all, would it not be moro fit to commemorate it in mourhing, fasting and prayer that God would avert from us in "the untold future all such dread conflicts with our peo ple ? We be brethern. "Let us have peace," said the great Federal chif tan. "Go to vour homes and find in human virtue the equal of hu man calamitv," said the great Southern Christain Hero. The re cord of our dread strife should, if nS;;iife. be forgotten. Monuments 7 J perpetuate tho memory of its gory history. The North in its opulence, has set the example for the South to follow in its penury. Nationa holidays of rejoicing over the de feat of brethren breeds bad blood, lionrf linrnin.f and strife. Let U3 have peace and forgetfulness. Literary. Wn hail the publication of I . " ' A "Dowd's Life of Vance," as a friend ly tribute to one of the greatest men of tho modern history of North Carolina. We hope and trust it mav become a standard in our Bio graphical literature, and we believe it will. We do not know Mr. Dowel, save by reputation, but he was iden tified with our great tribune by social and professional intimacy, and we learn thab-Mrs. ance has given him access to Senator Vance's pri vate papers, and she would not have done so unless he had been qualified for the task by the most thorough equipment. Governor Vance's life is rich in the materials of history! No 'North Carolina bio graphy furnishes so rich a field. He was emphatically an "all round," great man. Some of our departed sons have been more gifted in, cer tain departments. Gaston was his superior as "a great lawyer: Nat Macon was his superior in the mag netic simplicity of his life, and prob ably in - his practical . wisdom. Badger was his superior as a logi cian.
