The Press Convention and Wilmingr
ton. - 1
The Press Association met in
convention at Wilmington last
week, and in the history of its
delightful meetings none was
more pleasant than this.
Southern hospitality is a prov,
erb in this country and no more
fitting representation of this
proverb can be Jfound than
Wilmington, the beautiful
"city by the sea." Whatever
the city could furnish for the
pleasure of the occasion was
ours, freely. The Chamber of
commerce, through its com
mittee of entertainment looked
after the wants and pleasures
of the boys with a carefulness
akin to the mothers' care for
her babe.
; : The sessions of the Associa
tion were pleasant and profit
able, but a minute account of
the proceedings would" jiot be
very interesting to the general
reader.
On Wednesday the boys went
to ocean View and Wrights
ville,an excursion given them
by the people of Wilmington.
At Ocean View, the bracing
breezes, the billowy waves the
'breakers,, the "choppies" the
murmuring melodies and cease
less songs of the sea, were at
their disposal, and many were
they who plunged amid the
surf, and were ''washed and
made clean." r He who knows
not the invigorating effect of a
surr Datn, is not complete in
the happiness of this life.
At Wrightsyille the excur
sion closed with on oyster
: roast. An oyster, fresh from
the sound, sand roasted in a
brush ple, san't be headed
(when it starts) and. the boys
did full justice to the occasion.
Thursday the Association ac
cepted the invitation of Capt.
J.. W. Harper, ot the Steamer
Wilmington,, and went down
the Cape Fear to Southport and
the bar a distance of about 40
miles. The breeze was stiff
and the sea rough, and the
Capt. thought best to not cross
the bar But it was sufficient
for all, and more so for many.
There was a lot of excursionists
on the steamer wh) had never
been "rocked in the cradle of
the deep," and the effects were
soon visible. Tribute was
plentifully paid to Neptune,
and the fishes were fed with
abundance. .
On the. return a stop of two
hours was jniade Carolina
Beach a nice "little Summer
seaside resort. The surf there
is excellent and most of the
brethren enjoyed a surf bath.
The points of interest all
along the rout down the "Low
er Cabe Fear," historical and
otherwise, are numerous and
r - .
would fill volumes. We may
refer to "some of them later, as
we find On Our arrival home
that our space is already occu
pied. . . ' -
The members of the Associa
tion who, failed to attend at
Wilmington, well, they 11 never
catch up in the pleasures of
of this life.

Mrs. E. A. Womble died at
per home at Ronda on the 15th
mst. She had been confined
to her bed near six months.
She was buried at Ronaa on
Thursday 16th, Rev. W. R.
Bradshaw, of North Wilkes
boro, conducting the services,
Mrs; Womble was well known
here having moved from this
place to Ronda about four years
ago. Her friends regret to
learn of her death.
The celebrated Orator and
Lecturer, Henry Blount, of
Wilson, delivered his famous
monologue, "Beyond the Alps
lies Italy," at the court house
here on last Friday night. It
was given under the auspices
of the Masons and Odd Fellows
and for the benefit of the Ox
ford and Goldsboro Ornhan
Asylums. Mr. Blount's lecture
abounded in eloquence, wit and
humor, and had the undivided
attention of the audience all
the the way through. He
Closed with an eloquent and
earnest appeal to the young
people to stri ve to overcome
the Alps of difficulty and cross
over into the Italy of success
4. he lecture was splendid and
all present enjoyed it.
List of Teachers to Whom Certificates
Were Issned During1 the July
examination.
The numbers indicating the standing
of. each teacher is given, as this gives a
more accurate idea of the comparative
proficiency of the teachers, than, simply
to give 1st 2nd & 3rd grade, to which
each teacher is entitled. The margin
is very broad seventy to eighty gives
3d grade, eighty to ninety gives 2d grade
and ninety to. one hundred gives 1st
grade. It may readily be seen that
there-is a wide difference between 70
and 79, between 80 and 89, and between
00:and09. ;
