Says Wilmington Dispatch, Aug. 3.
'We wish to add our mite, in praise of
the big celebration New Bern presented
to the people of North Carolina and
also of other States last week. This
word of commendation may appear to
come somewhat late, but often times it
is better, from a standpoint of conserv
atism, to give expression after the ex
citement has subsided. So now, in the
calm, we can well add to the expression
(-already made that New Bern's Bi-Cen
tennial celebration was one of the great
est events the Old North State has ever
known. It furnished employments
thousands, but it was of even greater
importance It was of rich historical
valuer and It taught to hundreds of
grown-ups in North Carolina a bit of
interesting,, vital history. The people
of. New Bern deserve t high praise for
the excellent manner in which they
handled the mammoth affair and for the
hospitality they lavished, on the stran
gera within their midst"
