Dear SirI write this to inquire of
you if there are any relatives of F H
Fort in your city, and if there is will
you kindly inform them that he is in

Mexico, dying with consumption.
Myself and others raised enough
money for him to go to the above

it was of no use as the doctor wrote
me he could not live very long. If
you know of any of his folks pleaee
inform them. I will be glad to hear
from you. Respectfully yours,

Closing Exercises of Wakefield j
High School.
We had the great pleasure on Fri
day last of attending the closing ex
ercises of this well known and most
excellent Institution of learniug for
both sexes, situated twenty miles
northeast of Raleigh, in one of the
most delightful portions of Wake
county. We left the city about 5:30
in the morning withMr J N Hubbard
the efficient steward of the Agricul
tural and MechanicalCollege and our
daughters Misses Alice and Maggie.
Mr L O Lougee our admirable Coun
ty Treasurer, and his daughter, Miss
Mamie, were also of the party. Af
ter a most delightful ride, through a
country teeming with the fairest
prospects for an abundant yield
we reached our destination at 9:30
o'clock, where we found a large num
ber of persons, which increased dur
ing the day to over fifteen huudred,
After a rest of about half an hour,
the exercises commence 1 in accor
dance with the programme arranged
The house was literally packed with
an immense audience, representing
not only the immediate surrounding
country but from sections far off. It
would be impossible foi us to go into
personal details as to the merits of
each of those who participated in the
exercises. In such instances we do
not desire to draw even the slightest
distinction where all i erformed the
parts allotted to them, in a manner
that elicited the highest admiration.
It can truly be said that some of the
pieces re dered were perfectly splen
did and this can be said with perlect
sincerity as to the music, declama
tions, recitations, dialogues, or other
features that made .up the pro
gramme.
The officials of this splendid Insti
tution of learning deserve more than
a passing notice. Rev O L Strin,
field and Prof W J Ferreli are the
Principals. The immediate charge
of the school, is, however, vested in
Prof W J Ferreli, and he is most ably
assisted b . Mrs O L Stringfield, Miss
Irene Cartwright and Miss Annie
Shepherd, both of the last named
from Suffolk, Va. Prof Ferreli stands
deservedly high, and is justly consid
ered as one of the most efficient teach
ers in the State. This is best proven
by the great success that has crowned
his efforts. There were in attendance
this session one hundred and twenty
five students, an 1 these were not con
fined to North Carolina, but repre
sented several other States. It was a
source of extreme gratification foi us
to note, specially the high standard
of moral training that was visible on
all sides. In this respect the school
can be said to stand pre-eminent, and
it is a feature that must .most highly
commend the Institution to the most
favorable consideration of parent
and guardians
Of the assistants of Prof Ferreli we
are more than pleased to make spe
cial mention. Mrs O L Stringfield is
a lady in every way most competent
for the discharge of the arduous and
responsible duties, which the position
imposes. Miss Irene Cartwright and
Miss Annie Shepherd, are indeed
worthy of all praise, both being ex
ceedingly proficient, especially in the
art of music in which they excel. In
the instrumental and vocal depart'
ments of music they have but few
equals, and their superiors would in
deed be hard to find. And just here
we hone we do not draw invidious
destination in saying that the per
sonal charms of these young ladies
are only equalled by the skill they
po.sefs in the musical line. They
both cained the in st deserve J
eclat.
In all that pertains to a system of
general education, there has been
most marked progress in the section
in which this Bchool is located. It is
not an exaggeration to say, that ten
years ago, twenty five scholars could
not have been obtained in a log house
school. The result now is most as
tonishing, and the needs of popular
education are fast gaining ground
under the auspices of the growing
institution of which we write.
We cannot conclude this article
without an acknowledgment for the
kind hospitality we received from all ,
with whom we came in contact, and
we are Specially indebted to Rev O L
Stringfield and Dr Bell for many
courtesies. We faw present numerous
gentlemen frcm Raleigh, among
whom were some of our prominent
citizens.
We returned to the city on Satur
day, deeply impressed with all we
had seen and heard, and with the
cheering reflection that in all that
pertains to the material progress of
'Old Wake" we were making most
rapid strides in the right direction.
We but repeat the general verdict on
all sides in sayiDg we never saw farm
ing interests in a better condition.
There is indeed a most cheerful out-
lock, and the harvest promises the
most abundant yields we have had
for many years. Providence smiles
upon us and we should be thankful.
Playing the Fool.
Oq tomorrow night, at Metropoli
tan Hall, Rev Thomas Dixon, Jr, will
deliver his celebrated lecture entitled,
"Playing' the Fool." Mr Dixon is so
well known, and has gained such a
reputation throughout the country
he needs no special commendation at
our hands. It is sufficient to say that
all who hear him will be more than
repail. He is a gentleman whose
literary attainments have become na
tional in their character, and his ora
tory is equal to any man in the coun
try. The proceeds of the lecture are
to be devoted towards a narsonaee
for the Baptist Tabernacle church.
The object is therefore a good one.
Liet the hall be crowded to its utmost.

Electric Street Cars.
In Raleigh would be nice, wouldn't
they? You could go a humming on
them. If we had time we might put
some on but we are too busy to fool
with any small things just now. If
some one will furnish the cars for the
ladies to come down on we will furn
ish something for them to come do vn
for, and we guarantee that all our
dress goods, clothing, shoes, hats, no
ions, millinery goods, &c, will be far
cheaper than anywhere else on the
line, a e merely throw this out as a
suggestion, and as t'iere is no proba
bility of having the electric cars this
month we propose to get along with
out them and still offer sufficient in
ducements to cause all the ladies to
come even if they have to walk.
Walking is a healthy exercise. We are
