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.

theold renowned Scocth settlements,

number of teachers, lawyers, and

other counties with their inteligent,

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 may be stated that the managers

who has charge. of the afia1r,.said

would not interfere with the ar

Stevenson were' interviewed as to
the effect of the proclamation. They
concumd fully.ia the opinion that
it could have no possible effect on
the meeting of Sullivan and Kilrain,
as they never, intended locating the
ring within thejurisdiction of Louisi

Mrs. Richard Neville, sister of Mr."

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. The bov. who was onlv
