V" ' ''. ' " ' -: . ' 1 - PutiLreHEb Every Thursday NOWIS OUR CHANCE. Elsewhere i1lie found the ;open letter of -Mr.. J. T. Patrick, ex-Corn-; missioner of. Immigration for North Carolina-Haow Chief of one .of the most important branches of the Southern Inter-State Immigration ureauJ : We join - with Mr. Patrick in urging the people of. bur section to' see ; to' it that fine display of .'ro&and grass is sent in at once to the Secretary at- Raleigh. We shall iegiad to receive from our- farmers fine specimens of grain and grasses f every variety, and see that it is 'cent to: Raleigh' as directed ; but do not let ali depend on collecting and sending in what is asked for. If you 'receive a . request , from Mr, Patrick ie sure to do what you can to com ply with it ' Many people seeking homes, will -visit the Display, and those sections Which have the -most complete ex hibits, especially of grain and grasses, will reap the largest reward ; while thai sections' which, do not. heed the advice and show little enterprise by tiot having any display need not ex pect any results from the efforts now being mad. All people acknowledge we are overstocked with idle lands. That We need more manufacturing enter prises, :and that new settlers with means adcl to the prosperity of our native people ; but in most sections the people do not in any way try to eek the remedy for hard times that 'we are all sure would redound to cur benefit. ' "Now, that the public spirited cit izens of Raleigh have, offered us the Chance of exhibiting what we have 5to attract people, and without the expenditure of a single dollar, we do hope every section of this State yes every county will be handsomely shown up. Recollect that it is im portant to show what kinds of grain and grass grow and thrive in our Soil. ' . N the suggestion Mr. Patrick as to issuing special editions of the county newspapers goes to show us more Conclusively thari ever that he know the true way of advertising. We vnl take the advice of Mr. . Patrick and make the canvas at once, as there is no tinV to be 'lost. The display at' Raleigh is to be a "Hustler."" They propose. to show that there is pluck, energy and get up in the South ; and that in four months,r time a grand success can and'will be made. This is going to be prie of the best chances for adver tising our resources and we propose on our part to lend every assistance to have this county and section fully represented- ' We say to the business men and our sabscribera generally, we dp not propose to make any money out of the' special edition. If we can get Anything like cost we shall be satis fied'; for we know that the advertis ing arid building up of this section means the building up ol every Interest and industry of the bounty,' 'and the enhancing of every person's property and the placing ofiie money outside money, into every ooays nanas. inereiore we are Willing to do our part. - LaTirinbtrs Notss. . ' Friday, morning, June 29th, found: quite "a large number of our towns people on the road to Spring Hill Academy to join in - the joys and enjoy the festivities of the. occasion which makes memorable the close . fit. P-ClL :., lfol TiDQCSlf T?. . ...... ' . - l O . U . M McLean's popular scnooi; , opt nigr Hill is situated in the extreme easr tern part of the county, in one-of theold renowned Scocth settlements, and is .characterized by the great number of teachers, lawyers, and honor this and other counties with their inteligent, hightoned demeanor and efficient: service, xiere sianus i-u i5H,u,uiiiJ brick building, where for .nearly the last half century the Spring Hill Literary and Tem perance association has held its sessions, and here nas. been sown the seeds of character and usefulness which have borne fruit on thenar m, at the legal bar, in the pulpit, and in that honorable, vet arduous and responsible -posi- -j tion of instructor. We shall, say nothing of the addresses offered and accepted or rejected among the young people who graced the occa sion and I of course furnished the beauty and vivacity, and made the grove at times take on a flower gar den appearance. As to the address of the Honorable Thomas' H. Sutton of Fayettvi.lle, the orator of the day, whose subject was "character," we have only to say it would have been appreciated on any occasion and before any audience where intuli gence, refinement and a high tone of morals prevail. The manner in which the address was appreciated was shown by the ringing applause which was continued while a beau tiful bouquet of flowers was presen ted by a lovely little girl. Miss Sarah Purcell, chosen to perform this service, which was rendered with such delicate grace as to ellic it no small part of the applause. Mr. Sutton will be remembered by many in all paTts of the state as one of the most faithful and efficient workers in the last sessions of our general assembly. The Spring Hill Literary and Temperance associa tion is said to be the second oldest temperance organization in the Uni ted Stated and stands as a monu ment to the credit of the eturd Scotchmen whose sons are follow ing the fathers marked out by the footprints of their honorable sires, and the bounteous repasts enjoyed here annually for many years are proofs positive that there is a pow er behind the scenes as great as the power of spartan mothers of old, for the hand that rocks the cradle shapes the charater, and tempers the spirit for usefulness.

' It is as follows: Fifteen thousand, lour hundred and fifty-five men, women and children have been registered as survivors, which include 420 heads of families. The morgues1 have ac counted for over 3,000 bodies found while the registration reports show onlv 1.3o3 as the total number of lives lost. The committee offer as an excuse for the discrepancy, that they have not been allowed sum cient time to properly cover the ground, and that a part of the, in- Jormation given them was incorrect.

Mrs. Richard Neville, sister of Mr." Buck PitUnan, was killed by light ning at her home about six miles west of Enfield, in the Heathville neighborhood, last Thursday. She had been out of doors, "and seeing the storm approaching, she went in to the house, followed by her son, who is about ten voars old. Just as she entered the house and was standing near the fireplace lightning struck the chimney and killed her. She . lived a short time after the snock, but was unconscious until she died.
