I). Ezzell, took place on last Friday. Notwithstanding the disagreeabjeness of t he day, there was a large crowd present. The ex ercises opened with speeches by the little folks and essays by the girls. Just lefore noon came the speech of Stale Auditor, (Jeo. W. Sanderlin. His plea to young men to become farmers and to young women to be come farmer's wives, was able and con incing. It is unnecessary to say to those who have ever heard Mr. Sanderlin that his speech wa3 deliv ered in a most fascinating style, teeming with wit, humor and fluent and a ppropriate anecdotes. The dinner was excellent and bountiful, such as the liberal and hospitable people of that section al ways give. In the afternoon came the decla mations and debate by the repiesen tatives of the Literary Society. The medal, offered by Mr. W. A. John son, ot Clinton, lcr best scholarship, during the year, was awarded to Miss Fannie McPhail, and very hap pily presented by Mr. F. It. Cooper, of the Clinton bar. The exercises at night consisted of music and very amusing and laugha ble dialogues and recitations. The Principal, on behalf of the trustees, announced at the close, that the school would open as usual next Fall. It is impossible to estimate the wonderful results of such a school in a commurity, and while Sampson now probably leads all oth er counties in the State in this re spect, yet she needs at least a half dozen more such institutions. lo-uay railway connection is made with the North.

ItmA U'M,ll,!0 The entertainment at the Clinton Female Institute, Tuesday night, re flected much credit upon the institu tion and upon the teachers in charge and pupils in attendance. While we are by no means a connoisseur of music, yet, as an observer, we would say that the Musical Soiree by the young ladies under the direction of Miss Clagitt was quite a success. The medal for improvement in music was swvarded to Miss Bessie Partrick. The medal for the highest grade inmathemntics was awarded to Miss Clcone llobbs. The Latin prize .was awarded to Miss Laura Stetson. The medals and prize were all presented by the editor of The Cau casian. The large honor roll, which was read by Mr. Anderson on behalf of Miss Anderson, the principal, show ed that there were many worthy contestants in each race and, there fore,the prizes were not easily won. Mr. Anderson stated that the mu ric medal was given by a friGnd of the school, whose modesty would not allow his name to given. As it is our business to find out every thing and then tell it, we have learn ed since that the friendof the school was none other than Mr. W. A. Johnson, who"also gave the medal for scholarship ( in Bellevoir High School. Miss Anderson took her school on an excursion picnic to Eliot yester day. Joint Meeting of Commissioners and Magistrates. On Monday, the 2nd inst., the Board of County Commissioners met in joint session with the Magistrates jf the county and levied the county k tax' for the year 1889. The levy is as follows : State Levies. 100 Worth Trop. General Turposef , School, Wounded Soldiers, Total, County Levies, Old 3Ian Uogers Will Hlocamb; George Drew W. S. Thomson; Dave I lardy . E. Matthls. Estabrook Henry 1 lines; The Marquis p. U. Cooper. Jack Desmond L. A. Bethnne. Lydia Arin Rogers Mrs. C. P. Johnson. -Jvsmeralila Miss Addie Bizzell; Nora Desmond Miss Annie Gul dens; Kate Desmond Miss Mary Thom son. The manner in which each one performed hes (his or her) part, showed now only a pro per conception of the character personated, but also more than ordinary dramatic ability. In short it was a decided success. Hon. Geo. W. Sanderlin, who was in the audience, enjoyed the play very much, and said that it would have reflected credit on any amateur company, By the way why not or ganize a regular amateur company here in Clinton and play every month or two for the benefit of various charitable and religious purposes? We have several persons with con siderable dramatic, operatic and, we might say, tragical talent, who would we think, take part.- The results, if properly managed, would be ben eficial socially, intellectually, and be' nevolently. About f35 was realized from this play, and if it had been repeated Monday night the receipts would probably have been larger. am t mm Health, Etc., in Sampson. The following report from Dr. J. A. Stevens, the Superintendent of Health of the county, appears in the North Carolina Bulletin of Health : "Sampsox. Dr. John A. Stevens, Clinton. The general sanitary con dition ot the county is fair, but whooping-cough, measles, bronchi tis, pneumonia and malarial fever with a few cases of diarrhcea and dysentery are the diseases to report Ithis month. There has been an ep idemic of hog cholera, and dis temper among horses. Our poor- house is in excellent sanitary condi tion: one of the twenty-three in mates can read and write and one pives evidence of successful vacci nation. The sanitary condition of the jail is somewhat improved since last report, but intend to keep stir ring the. matter up until we get a new jail, which our present Board of County Commissioners have prom ised to do soon; of the three prison ers confined in jail at present two give evidence of successful vaccina tion and one can read and write." build ins. Joit after tha last hard phower, wtre heard the last tones of the school-bell. About this time the roads wero crowded with vehi cles of every kind. In a short while more than 500 people were present to w it&ess the exercises. The exercises were opened with declamations by the small boys and girl. There were twenty-two de clamations, three dialogues and twelve eays. henator E. . Kerr arrived at half pat .9 o'clock and was met by Messrs, A. E. Itoyal and L. H. Hayes, the marshals, who were mounted. t the second toll of the bell the school was arranged to welcome the speaker. In front was hoisted a ban ner upon which was written "Pro gress, Clement Model School. t half-past 11 o'clock dinner was announced. Many trunk", boxes ami baskets wero crowded with just such things as the good ieople of Dismal are able to furnish. tVt half-past 12 o'clock, all were invited, by Capt. J. L. Autry, to meet in Clement church, and con tinue the exercises. We must say a word about this church, which is about the size of thu Presbyterian church in Clinton, Is without doubt the handsomest ia Sampson county. The President of the Society call ed the house to order and announced the next business in order. The declamations were delivered by Messrs. J. J. Jackson and Frank lin Carr. Their subjects were choice selections, and the young men well acquitted themselves. Next followed Senator E. W. Kerr's speech, which was more than interesting. He took "A little of most everything" for his subject and held the undivived attention of an intensely interesting audience for more than an hour. His speech was one to awaken and increase county, state and national pride, and to awaken and increase a desire to know more of the world and its doings. The discussion by the debaters was interesting. Query: "Which have been more Injurious, Prideand Am bition, or Ignorance and Supersti tion."

Brother Spivey was born in Gates county, N. C, on the 5th of September, 1800; and for many years was a zealous and faith-. ful minister ot the gospel ot Christ He was well known and greatly be loved by a multitude of his brethren, having been pastor in many counties of the State. We met him for the first time at Ballard's Bridge church, Chowan county, in May, 18GG, and learned to love and honor him for zeal and devotion to the cause of Christ. Most of his day and gener- atian had gone before him and awaited his entering into the rest that remaineth. He leaves a son Col. John G. Spivey, of Texas, and a devoted wife."
