The event wa- made memorable by the is-ne of an extra -ize edition in which was demonstrated the enter prise arid progressive spirit of this ad mirabk new-pa pe uid eminently successful The ,'i-ori i- clean. dignified, conservative free from sensational and objectionable fea tures so prominent in many metro politan journals. It is edited with ability, and its discussion of public .!icstioiis is broad and comprehen sive. Its attitude toward the South is fair and friendly, and altogether it is conducted upon a high and honorable plane, of journalism.

This writer was reared on the farm and he knows what a farmer's life is. Imperially does he appre ciate the lot of the farmer's boy and sympathize with him in his life anil labors. His environments are not always what they should be, often not what they might be with litth; effort ami expenditure There are hardships not a few and struggles necessarily in a life on tin farm, and so the boy's lot should be made as easy as possible ami he should be encouraged and rewarded beyond what is usually his portion. Teach him to love the farm rather than to despise it, learn him to know there is no vocation or profession more honorable and independent than that of the intelligent, sueccs ful farmer. Then; arc many ways in which this mav be done wavs that readily suggest themselves to the thought ful, considerate parent. Along this line we commend the following from the l'lizabeth City Fisherman and l-'itniu r as worthy of acting upon: The boy on the farm is not always to be envied. He is often obliged to work early and late, do the wink of any other hand, ami not receive any recompense whatever. This is plainly not right, and it is not surprising that so many leave the farm at the first opportunity in spite of father's and mother's entreaties. The boy who is old enough to do more than the chores, is old enough to receive some remuneration in a money sense: is old enough to be allowed some independence of thought and action, and should have a chance. If you conscientiously feel that you can not pay him in money, give him au opportunity to earn something some ot her way. Let" him have a small plot of ground to work for himself outside of the work he does for you, or let him raise poultry, and not only let him do these things but encourage him to earn a little money which will be his own. which will tend to show him the value of money, and will raise in him ambitions and love of work. Kneourage him and help him all you can. Do not grind him down to a mere existence of servitude, lie member that he has his rights, even if he is your son. and you owe him a good chance even if you don't feel inclined to pay him. It is a debt which you owe him as a parent, and for which there will be an account ing. Christian Endeavor Notes. On last Sunday evening the regu lar business meeting of the Society was held. Mr. S.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of 7 PUBLIC EDUCATION. ! Interest in public education has quickened throughout the State. Several towns recently voted in favor of taxation for school purposes to establish graded schools, increase the facilities and efficiency of those already existing, to extend the term of the common schools, etc. All of which is gratifying to the friends of public education. Brielly writing of this hopeful and encouraging spirit of the times, the .orlh Carolina JJtijilixl says: Washington voted 2i cents on property and CO cents on poll. This with other income will make a nine months school for both races. Kinston voted to re-establish the schools, which went down soon after the Dorteh bill was declared uncon stitutional. Mt. Airy voted a tax to continue the schools established under the local taxation of two years ago. Albemarle voted au appropriation of $o,000 for public school purposes. Waynesville voted to maintain a graded school. New Berne voted by a large ma jority for schools for both races. Hendersonville voted for schools. Asheville increased its tax from 20 cents on property to 30 cents and from CO on the poll to 90. Durham voted $10,00 ) for another graded school building, equipments, tfce. These towns took forward action. Graded schools, the creatures of a score of years in North Corolina, are getting such a foothold that the chil dren educated in them will make them permanent and better. The name of Henderson is con spicuous for its absence from the above list. When will we awake to our own interest in the matter of public education? Try to get around it as we may, and neglect it if we will, but the proper education of our boys and girls is the paramount issue before us of more importance than the building of factories, of great er value than the accumulation of riches, (iive them knowledge, that which cannot be taken from them, and by which they may achieve everything else. inPROVEMENTSO BAY LINE FA CILITIES. The (ioi.it Lkak has heretofore alluded to the extensive improve ments being made by the Baltimore Steam Packet Company (the "Old Bay Line") in its wharfage facilities at Baltimore the building of new warehouses, offices, etc. In a recent de scription of the work in question the Baltimore Sun says: The office building will be three stories high, of brick, with stone and copper trimmings. It will be lighted with electricity and contain an eleva tor. The first floor will be used for offices and for public convenience, while the second floor will be fitted up as offices for treasurer and general ticket agent, which are now in t'ue Equitable Building. The third floor will contain a directors's room in addition to offices. The bridge across Light street for passengers will -lie an ornamental structure elevated six teen feet above the roadway. Its exterior will be faced with sheet cop per. By its use passengers can reach the boats without the necessity of descending any steps. The elevator takes them to the second story of the building, and by means of the bridge they can pass directly through the wharf warehouse to the deck of the steamer. The arrangement also avoids the danger of crossing Light steet, which is usually thronged with teams during the day. The office building will be o feet high and will have a frontage of about '.' feet on Light street. The plans which were prepared by Messrs. Baldwin & Pennington, indi cate, that it will be one the hand somest structures of its kind in the city, and with the wharf and ware house it will form a decided improve ment to the harbor front. Over $s,tn0 worth of copper alone will be used in the construction on the bridge and warehouse. It is cal culated that the entire improvement will cost nearly $7o,00 when com pleted. .lust look at those Oxford Ties for 75 cents at II. THOMASON'S. ST.

I have used many remedies without receiving much re lief, and being recommended to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, w ho. knowing me to ' be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratifying result-. The first bottle relieved me very much and the second bot tle has absolutely cured me. I have not had as good health for twenty years. I give this certificate without solicitation, simply in appreciation of the gratitude felt for the care effected. Respectfully. Mrs. Mary A. Beakh. t'lareim.re, Ark.. For sale by Dorsey Drug Co.

In spite of the late spring aud com paratively cool weather of May, the ex cursion fever seems to have taken pos session of everybody. Early in the month over 2,000 people went to Delaware Park for the day, and instead of being jaded by the jaunt re turned refreshed; for conveniences and diversions afford one an opportunity for rest and creature comforts in the midst of pleasure. As many as twelve excursions are already booked for Juneby theSeaboard Air Line and unless prompt application is made for the grounds there certainly will be difficulty in securing suitable ar rangements. Outing parties, pie-nic parties, associa tions, convention parties, Sunday-school parties, all kinds of parties should apply at once to L. S. Allen, General Passenger Agent, Seaboard Air Line, Portsmouth, Va. There will be a. rush all the summer for this resort which is growing phenomenally in popular favor. There is fine fishing and boating for the children on the famous Nottoway river flowing pictur esquely at the foot of the breezy and winding hills of the Park. The spot is beautifully situated forty miles from Norfolk and 3 30 miles from Raleigh, covering 14 acres of ground all inclosed and protected by a high fence. The observatory commands a rare stretch of rolling country and there is a perfectly equipped ten pin alley, merr.y-go-rouud. shooting gallery, pavilion for dancing on the river bank and other spacious pavilions amply protected against both storm and sunshine. A grand piano is on hand for concerts, quadrilles and cake walks as the case may be. Stages may also be erected for theat rical or other festive entertainments. The Park as a pleasure ground is not surpassed in the South and the water alone is destined to make it a permanent summer resort. There are thrceSulphurspriugs said by many to be equal in their tonic and alter native effect to waters of the renowned Greenbrier White; there are other mineral springs, also, iucluding the notable Magnesia spring, the sanitary effects of which have been known for years by the old residents of this country. An arte sian well sparkles forth one hundred feet in the air, the stream being six inches in diameter as it issues from the earth. For that matter the whole landscape is '.winkling with springs for those who prefer their water "straight." There are over one hundred improved swings which keep the grove merry with the laughter of children, promenades and lovers' nooks, rustic seats and leafy vistas, birds and balmy air. A few hours and a few dollars and one is out of the heat of the city, out of dan ger of doctors' bills, among the cooling Nottoway hills. No Cure No Pay.

COOPER AND THE COOPER GROCERY COMPANY. A North Caiolir.a flan's Phtnomenal Success in the Lone Star State What has Bctn Achieved by him in .- m . f t a Few ears-Head of a ijreat Wholesale Concern Doing a Busi- ness L isl Year of $2,000,000 Promin-.it in Commercial, Financial and Railroad Circles. The following extract from a Dur ham letter in the AV find (tfiservi r of last Wednesday, is of peculiar interest in more aspects than one. We quote: A solid car load of siuokiiigtnhacco for one concern looks big, don't it? Yet a car load is no more for this linn to buy at one lime than a few thousand pounds for others not having a much enter prise. The car was loaded with the cele brated brand, "Duke's Mixture," and the streamers and banners on t he car told where it was going and to whom marked: "Tli Cooper (irocer.v Company, Waco, Te.xns " This was what was seen on the Seaboard Air Line a few days ago: enough smoking tobacco, it seemed to me, to supply the whole of Texas for a year or more, but from what I ascertain ed afterwards, it will be disposed of in ninety days, in a small section of that great State by thisblg company, with its eight hustling tourists that are kept con stantly on the go. It was interesting to me, and thinking ib would be of equal interest to the read ers of the "News and Observer"' to know something about this large and prosper ous firm, I wrote to au old friend who is now in the Loue Star State, and who is personally acquainted with Mr. M. A. Cooper, to tell me something about the Cooper Grocery Company, of Waco, Texas, and this is what he said: "The leading spirits in this, one of the leading Texas wholesale companies, are M. A. Cooper, president; E. C. Barrett, vice president; 11. K. lirewer, secretary; C. W. Smith, bu.er, and L. Rogers, treasurer." The two former members are North Caro linians and the three latter are native Texaus. Mr. Cooper landed in Waco about fif teen years ago, hailing from Henderson, N. C. He was entirely without money upon his arrival, but he soon found em ployment. His first business venture w as dealing in produce, at which he made a snug little capital, after several years diligent application. Fortune smiled upon him, as it has upon all men of his stamp, who have made Texas their home since the war; not so lavishly upon all, however, as upon him. In 1802 he succeeded in purchasing the stock and good will of Moore Bros., wholesale grocers, and up to a year ago he did a thriving business under the firm name of M. A.Cooper & Co. He is not oue to wait for opportunities, or, Mieaw ber like, "wait for something to turn up," and about a year ago he organized, under the laws of Texas, the Cooper Grocery Company, with a paid up capi tal of $ 250,000." The company trans acted last year over $2,000,000 of busi ness, and, judging from the manner in which it is forging ahead now, it is likely that the business of this year w ill far sur pass that of last year. The car in question passed through Henderson and attracted considerable notice. To give some idea of the immense quantity of this one brand of tobacco sold it is worthy of mention in this connection that the output of "Duke's Mixture" is a million pounds a month. Where all this tobacco goes is a question, but go it does, and in car load lots frequently as noted above. Mr. M. A. Cooper is a native of Granville and at one time lived in Henderson. He is a brother to Messrs. James ('., David Y. and John D. Cooper, all prominent and successful business men of this place, and among our foremost and most useful citizens. The friends of Mr.Matt Cooper note w ith pleasure and pride his success in the Lone Star State. He is a man of indomitable energy, full of plitck and perseverance a "hustler" in the strictest sense. And wrhat is more he possesses the qualities of tact and judgment, keen foresight, business sagacity and sterling integrity those qualities which win confidence and success as illustrated by few men of his age. It is not often that four brothers attain to such position and promi nence in business outside the great centers of trade and finance. And in the success that has attended them may it not be that there have been other influences at work beside their own individual elTorts? We believe it is no less true that the seed of the righteous man shall not beg his bread than it is that the sins of the father are visited upon the children. The parents of the Messrs. Cooper were Godly people. In their deeds of kindness and acts of charity aiding and sympathizing with the poor and needy, and giving comfort and succor to the widow and orphan their children have been blessed. The Waco Timcs-Hcrald, of May 1st, notes the election of Mr. M. A. Cooper as a director of the St. Louis & Southwestern Railroad, known as the Cotton Belt1' line, and speaks of him in the following complimentrv manner: In selecting Mr. M. A. Cooper of this city as the successor of the late Win. Cameron iu the directory of their road the St. Louis and Southwestern railroad has disclosed the fact that they an; familiar with the history and accom plishments of the progress in young business men of Central Texas. In all of this section there could have been chosen no man more fitted to represent Waco and its teritory. As a merchant and thorough business man Matt. Cooper is eminently a success. From his early manhood up to date his career has been a succession of successes in the business with which he has been connected. A fifth of a century ago Mr. Cooper in augurated a small business in Waco and to-day he is at the head of the larg est wholesale grocery, with possibly one exception, iu the State of Texas. This businr 8i will of course not be affected by the acceptance of the directorship. Mr, Cooper comes of an old North Carolina family, numbering among theennnection many of the most prosperous and wealthy and wise men of affairs in that State. He was educated in Oxford, N. C., and soon thereafter came to Waco, with the determination to nucceed in business, and he has succeeded. He w ill carry to the directory a thorough busi ness training, an acute comprehensive mind and an admirable knowledge of the needs, possibilities and conditions of tin country traversed bv the railroad. The Cotton Belt and its patrons are to be congratulated on their choice, and we j trust that Mr. ( ooper will show his ap preciation of the distinguished compli ment by accepting.

The graduating exercises took place on Tuesday morning followed by the address of Rev. Dr. Ivey which was much praised. At the Concert and Elocution Recital on Thursday evening we heard some oi the grandest music and one of the finest recitations to which we have ever listened. In the Raleigh ChrUtuta AlfOcnte Dr. Nash says: "This excellent school is growing in us fulness and honor, as it grows iu years. Situated in one of the finest sec tions in North Carolina, in the midst of a people who have been noted for hiuh moral character and fine culture for more than a quarter of a century, ami occupying a site specially fitted by nature for suck an institution, mi one need be surprised at the sturdy growth and great usefulness of the College. When the qualifications of the President. Rev. J. M. Rhodes, A. M , and his ex cellent wife are taken into account we would be surprised if the Littleton Female College did not stand among most successful female colleges ill the land. The year tlmt has closed ha been in many respects the mu.-t successful iu the history of the institution." Dr. T. N. Ivey iu au editorial iu the same paper says: "We had occasion to note the appear ance and bearing of the young ladies. They showed that dignity and true breeding which always characterize a refined and well regulated household. The faculty is a well selected one, repre senting not only the brightest talent but the best training in those schools which offer the best advantages to those taking the post graduate course. Little ton is a growing town and is in a very fine section of the State. The health conditions are good. The noted Panacea Springs are only three miles distant. Taking everything into consideration we feel no hesitation in commending Little ton Female College as an institution in which any daughter may receive a thorough education resting on the basis of moral and mental development. President Rhodes has done a great work in the educational field, and, from all appearances, we may judge that the best ye irs of this institution areahead. From it are going forth postive moral, mental and social influences, which must play an important part indeveloping the Chris tian womanhood of this Southland." attk.nhaxt.
