As announced in our last issue' Prof. Mims, of Trinity College, de livered the address at the close of the Roxboro Inttitute. His subject was "Literature," and well did he handle his subject. Among other things, he said: v "The life of a nation couid be read in its literature. The literature of the French people is a yery different thing from the literature of the En glish people a difference just as marked as the brilliant, witty Frenchman differ from the sturdy, energetic Englishman. "The racial characteristics of the English people are seen in all their poetry'fronTBeowulf to Tennyson. A nation changes as an individual changes. At different times the em phasis is laid on special things. At one time a nation become cosmopoli tan in its taste and you have the Elizabethan age; at another if be comes intensely religious and you have Puritanism. "Whenever you read a great poem, novel or drama yon can come in contact with three things, the race, the epach of history in which it is written, an d the personality-, of the man who wrote it. It is hard to say which has done the greater good for Scotland, Bruce and Wallace, who fought her battles, or Scott and Burns, who made her a literature. ' "A peculiar phase0 of epach is preserved in some masterpiece of letters, or the thoughts we are all thinking finds vent through the medium of one man. The cry of the Expansionist found its supremest utterance in Kipling's, " The White Man's Burden." s i "No one has come as yet to "make the ecstacy the living lyre," and bid the deeds and characteristics of the Southland stand in imperishable literature." Prof. Mims' address was ornate, beautiful and true, and was thor oughly appreciated by a cultured au dience. At 8 o'clock Friday night theN ex ercises by the children took place. The hall at the Academy was filled to its utmost capacity. Every one on the program render ed their part well, and showed that great pains had been taken by Prof. Pegram and Miss Annie. Every thing passed off very pleasantly, and all present were complimectary to the teachers. Tne music scnoiars performed their part well, and re flected grat credit on their teacher, Miss Fannie Sergeant, who was un tiring in her. efforts to make the ex ercises a success.

Prof. Pegram has been principal of the school just a year, but during that short time has made many friends here who will be delighted if he will continue at the head of the institution: There is no good reason why Rox boro should not have an excellent school.

There wps a pic nic at Loch Lily and a large crowd were m atten dance, including a great many people from this place. They enjoyed them selves verv much. The greatest thing Was gathering lilies, which are now in bloom. If you want to spend a day pleasantly you can do no better than spend it on this beautiful lake. . Saturday was also a legal 5 holiday. May the 1 20th' being Independence day, but it was not observed here. Good Work. On Saturday, May 20th, Sheriff Si iss settled with the Board of County Commissioners. He turned in only 221 insolvent taxes, usually there being from 300 to 400, and the-ones our preseut Sheriff turned in was for four years back. This proves that this has been . a prosper ous year and also the good work of the Sheriff and his deputies.

A Batch of Interesting News from that Popular Neighborhood. , - Bushy Fork, N. C.,- May 23. The wheat crop in this; community looks.now as if it will be a complete failue. It is unusually sony, there being only two of three good fields in the neighborhood . The oat crop is on an average compared with that of wheat - Tobacco has been planted throughout this section, and there is a good stand. Many, farmers are nearly through planting the weed, and others have not commeuced. If a good stand counts for anything, it is predicted that a good crop of to bacco will be made. The corn crop is doing nicely and . it is expected that there will be an excellent har vest of it. Fruit is incliaed to be somewhat, scarce in this naighbor hood, there being no sign of fruit on a great many trees. . ' Mr. J. D. Briggs has been unable to be out for a few. days, he ' being confined to his home on account of sickness. His manv friends in the county hope that he will soon re cover. His daughter, Miss Jennie, was bitten by a mad dog a few days since, and was carried to a niadstone. She has gotten about wjl.;,. The entire community sympathize with Rev. J. H. Lamberth in his ill ness and every one hope that he may soon be entirely restored to his good health. Rev. W. B. Morton preached two excellent sermons at ? Clemen t Satur- av and Sunday. Miss Mary Glenn was baptized before the services on Sundav. The sermon Sunday was an excellent one, and was listened to with much interest. This writer has attended services at - many lifferent churches, but can unhesi tatingly say that the congregation Sunday was the best-behaved, atten tive and interesting of any he has ever had the -pleasure of attending. Tt is said that this church can' com fortably seat, six hundred people. Tf this be the case, no less than four hundred people attended on Sunday. Among the many other visitors at Clement Sunday. were Miss Ada Hughes aud her friend Miss Simpson and another party whose-name : this writer could not learn, earner down from Haw River. Miss Ada has many, friends in this community who are always glad to give her av hand of welcome, and lad-to know that sns is naving suun a, pucuess ju ine millinery business.-' We - hope that Misses Hughes - and Simpson will come again, as we are delighted to have them at any time.

Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in the countrv. Diseases fastened its clutchesr upon her and, for seven years she withstood its severest tests but her yital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three years she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She finally dis covered a way to recovery, by pur chasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's IN ew Discovery for Consumption, and was so much' relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night, and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured.
