We have recently read a historical account of his attack upon the Federal lineH near Petersburg, June 22. 1804. in which he captured "nearlv 2,000 prisoners, 4 cannon, quantity of small arms and 8 flags." "Bil ly Mahone" vm brave in the conflicts of "The Lost Cause," say what you may of his jolitical career since "the late unpleasantness." The Teacher' Institute, of New York, gives in its North Carolina Supplement a history of the Wilson graded schools. Mr. .1. L. Tomlinson was the first prin cipal of the schools. He organized them in 1881. Says the Supplement to the Teach trs' Inntltv.tr, "Upon the resignation of Mr. Tomlinson in 1883, Mr. John F. Bruton, now a prominent lawyer of Wilson, was elected Superin tendent. Col. Bruton had been princi pal of the schools, and to him was due in a large measure their excellent di cipline." Col. Bruton 'a work in the school room went a long way towards mak ing him so accurate in his present profession and so thorough in all that makes him scholarly. Dr. Mundy knows how to make every one feel welcome. The llson baptists enjoy the distinction of having for their pastor one of the mot scholarly and popular preachers in the South. Rev. C. Durham eaid at the Tar River Baptist Association in Wilson last week that he had been travelling the State for many years, and he sees more evi dences of returning prosperity this year than he has seen in three years together before. part. f the from the west onlv one h r.o-.v living. iaj. r oo: ui county : while of t!,c four from the ea.-t only one is dead, Frank P.

WAS1IIXGTOX CITY XEWS. The friends of Mr. W. C. Allen are glad to note that he is doing well in Wilson. He is one of the leading teachers m the graded school there. His friends speak in high term.s of him and his charming wife. Capt. W. J. Hill said a lew days ago that he had been with the Coast Line for ten years and they have not lost a passenger in that time. Some persons have been killed on the track, to be sure, but this was no fault of the rail road authorities, as they were not pas sengers. Col. John L. Bridgers, of Tarboro, as he was returning from Raleigh Satur day, said that he had made observation of the crops in Edgecombe, Wilson, Wayne and Wake counties, and he thinks that the cotton crop will be short nearly half.

There wa3 trouble here with two more of General Hansom's drafts for his salary at the Treasury Department. Bowser and Bowler persist in holding their first position i. e. that the payment is illegal but eventually they will have to vsQQpt the decision of their superior oflieers. The exterior of the new Congression al Library Building is about completed. The interior will not be finished until this time next year. It will be the handsomest Library in the world. The dome is gold. The walls and columns inside are mainly of white marble and are masterpieces in their way. I never saw anything more beautiful. A recent opinion expressed by Sen ator Sherman to the effect that the Senate would be re-organized by Repub licans and Democrats is accepted as obtaining the policy of the dominant party in the next Congress. It is un derstood that the national leaders of the Republican party do not intend to "father" the heresies of the iVpt. lists. They are willing to countenance "tu sion" with the Populists on State issues, but not on national. Hon. Thomas Settle evidently knew what lie was talking about when he intimated this to the correspondent of the New York Tribune, recently. The President and Secretary Thurber are expected to-day. Mrs. Cleveland and the children will follow next week, Marshall Carroll is here to see what is to be done about the U. S. Commo dore recently seized and then released by Cuban insurgents. There is a wide spread sympathy for Cuba everywhere in the United States. Congressmen are beginning to come to Washington. An exciting winter is anticipated. Dr. Sanderlin has entered one of his daughters as a regular student at the Columbian University here, where she will take the course which omits Greek but includes Latin, modern languages, etc. The older daughter, who was graduated at Peace Institute is taking a course of instruction at a celebrated kindergarten school here with the pur pose of fitting herself as a kindergarten teacher. The younger daughter ex pects to be a teacher likewise. Ex-Covernor Holt, one of the safest and ablest men in North Carolina, passed through here this week. He was looking and feeling very well and was encouraged at the business outlook An hour spent at tea with the charm ing family of Mr. George W. Blount m Wilson will long be one of the pleasant reminiscences of our visit to the town. Mr. Blount himself is a Chesterfield in his attentions. His two fascinating daughters lend a grace and charm that would make any home seem a palace in the happy valley. Swamp Canal is headed by Alex. Brown, oi Baltimore. Md.

We would further say that even now tobacco from Tarboro is eagerly sought by the larger dealers on account of its excellent quality and color.

The inimitable Henry Blount, of the Wilson Mirror, can spin more yarns of western mishaps than any editor in North Carolina. He has a mint of his own for coining adjectives to suit his own fine fancy of matchless description. He placed us under obligations by his kind attentions while we were in Wil son last week, as well as ly his exceed ingly graceful mention of us m his paper. Rev. J. W. Millard, pastor of the Baptist church in Henderson, m dis cussing before the Baptist Association in Wilson the subject of education, said that North Carolina has sent many great men to other states and foreign fields. He said that at one time one half of tne United States Senators could trace their lineage to North Carolina. Kentucky, said he, boasts oi fine whis key, fast horses and pretty women ; but North Carolina boasts of men. Ve dined in the home of Rev. Mr. Ivey, pastor of the Methodist church in Wilson, and a more agreeable hour we have not spent anywhere. Mr. Ivev is one of the leadingministers in the Methodist denomination, and takes high rank among them as able and scholarly. Mrs. Ivey is the very soul of hospital ity, charming in manner and conversa tion, endowed with grace and beauty, and is never happier than when con tributing to the pleasure and comforts of others. Rev. Vernon I 'Anson in speaking on the subject of foreign missions, before the Baptist Association in Wilson, paid a glowing tribute to Maj. I. L. imry of Weldon. He spoke of a certain battle in the late war in w hich the flag-bearer was shot dow n. Tom E na ry seized the staff and raised the colors. The stan: was cut above his hand by bullets and the flag fell, but Mr. Emry seized it again and carried it to an ad vanced position and held it there under a most fearful fire. This, said Mr. I'Anson, is what is needed lor mission ary fields men who will carrv the gospel flag and hold it hard in the face of the enemy. The editor of The Democrat was entertained while in Wilson last week in the home of Col. John F. Bruton. Col. Bruton, who is one of the leading lawyers of his county and Mayor of Wilson, is warm-hearted, exceedingly hospitable, and lacks nothing in those virtues of heart and head that show his friends they are always welcome to the comforts of his well-furnished home. A queenly hostess is Mrs. Bruton, w hose every step is graceful and every tone musical and every attention the very quintessence of kindness. Culture and refinement pervade the home, which is made all the more attractive by great strength of intellect in both husband and wile, and the interesting family gathered about them. A SPECIFIC ion- La Grippe, for Golds, Coughs AND LUNC TROUBLES, AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL "Two years ago, I had the grippe, and it left ioe with a cough which gave me no rest night or day. My family physician prescribed for me, changing the medicine as often as he found the things I had taken were not helping A ft, me, but, in spite of his attendance, I got no better. Finally, ray husband, read ing one day of a gentleman who had had the grippe and was cured by taking Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, procured, for me, a bottle of this medicine, and before I had taken half of it, I was cured. I have used the Pectoral for my children and in my family, whenever we have needed it, and have found it a specific for colds, coughs, and lung troubles." Emily Vood, North St., Elkton, MJ.
