BcneliU of AdvertiNiiiK.
It is natural that we direct attention
to an item in our Kiuston correspond
ence concerning the sales of machinery
by Mr. J. Wf Grainger. Mr. Grainger
has, for six mouths, kept in the Weekly
Journal a two column advertisement
(the largest of any in the paper) offering
various kinds of machinery for sale. He
has done this as a matter of business and
not to patronize the paper, for it is not
published in his town, aud his present
sales are proof of what the "ad" has
done.for him. There is another point
in the case worthy of being pointed out
on the part of the newspaper side of the
question this advertising has been go
ing on for some considerable time before
the heavy sales were niade.' Mr".
Grainger thought best tocarry his "ad
through the dull season and his perse
verance has been rewarded.
It is natural for a newspaper to blow
about the advantages of advertising,
but facts are stubborn things and speak
for themselves. The Journal now
publishes weekly 75 quires a circula
tion of 1800 and Daily 19 quires a cir
culation of45G, and he who uses its
columns may be assured that his ad
vertisement will be extensively Yead.
Iilurraii for the Graded School.
The Trustees of New Berne Academy
held a meeting on Tuesday evening and
the following gentlemen were elected to
fill the seven vacancies now existing
Messrs. Geo. Allen, T. A. Green, Alex
Miller, L. II. Cutler, W. M. Watson,
Llijah Ellis and E. H. Meadows.
The Journal takes great pleasure in
endorsing this action. These men "are
representatives of the best commercial
interests of the city, and the old Board
has shown good judgment in their se
lection. We feel like raising a shout of
jubilee for the Graded School is now a
fixed fact. How it is to be started aud
when, we make no suggestion. We be
lieve the old and new members will
work together most harmoniously for
New Berne's good, and that they are
well competent to decide about all the
details.
As to what the Educational Associ
ation will do, we apprehend there will
be no difficulty. Fifteen Members Of
this Association are now on the Board
of Academy Trustees, and we have uo
doubt this Association will be willing
to turn over their money to the Acade
my, which now represents, in its men
bers, the Public School fund, the Griffin
fund, the Educational Association and
the Academy fund. All that thJ mem
bers of the Association wanted was
proper representation and this has now
been obtained, and now there is nothing
in the way for a powerful Graded
School. It might be well for the Assn.
ciation to preserve its organization iu
order to collect the money and to devise
some plan about raising money in the
future. But there will be no trouble
about the details. Let us reioice 'that
we will now have the school.
WiUon Normal.
Ed. Journal: The State Normal
School at this place closed on Thursday
of last week with an entertaining and
patriotic address from Gov. Jarvis who
had been in attendance at the Normal
the past two days.' The Governor's ad
dress was to the point, practical, full of
encouragement, and proved the speaker
to be a friend of the true education of
all classes alike. ' ''
The Normal has been a graud success
from the very first, as was to have been
expected under the Superintendence of
t ror. lomliuson, who as Principal of
the Wilson Graded. SehooUJias brought
that institution up to such an. eminent
degree of efficiency and 'success as .
bring forth that remarkable cnnimnndn.
tion in the New England Journal of Ed
ucation whose editor visited the school
last winter. The State Normal was not
a whit behind, for tho Superintendent
of the latter almost surpassed himself as
Principal of the former. The principal
instructor in the Normal," Prof. DeGraff
of New Jersey, who has spent more than
twenty years in just such work through
out the North and West, pronounced it
to be a model Normal School, and furth
er averred that it was the best organized,
best managed, most beneficial and suc
cessful he had ever been engaged in.
Maj. Robt. Bingham in his public ad
dress before the Normal, said Mr.' Tonv
liiison was making more reputation
than any man in North Carolina, but it
seems that his success is known not only
at home but abroad, for we are informed
that during the Normal session ho re
ceived a very tempting call to go to
another State to take charge of a perma
nent Normal School, but . that being so
interested in his work at home, aud
viewing with such faith the bright
promises within our own borders, he
did not entertain the proposition for
consideration at all.
But before closing, Mr." Journalist, I
trust you will allow me to congratulate
you on the most admirable and com
mendable course you have taken in ref
erence to the establishment of a graded
school in your city. You will ere long
congratulate yourself, for the fruits of
your endeavors will be very gratifying.
The graded School at this place is consid
ered a sine qua non, and it is now ad
mitted that since its establishment, and
by means thereof , the value of property
has increased more than 30 per cent.,
and houses to rent are not now to be
found. Many well to-do families from
adjoining counties have moved in and
thereby have added to the wealth and
prosperity of the place. New Berne
will feel a pulse of new life ere long
Let the people once get interested, aud
it will become the passion of the place.
What do you think l.r Over eight .thou
sand visits were paid the different de
partmenls of the Wilson Graded School
during nine months last year. It was a
place to take friends from abroad, for
these visitors represented thirty-five
counties. , .
The success of your school seems now
definitely assured, in a pecuniary sense
at least, and with a wise superintend
ent, its issues will be graud and good.

Mr. Nelson Whitford has on exhibi
tion, at the entrance to his Cart House,
a pateut gate which will be of great cou
venieiice on large farms, where there
are many gates, when they shall havo
been adopted. Any one approaching
the gate in buggy, cart, wagon or on
horse back can open and shut it without
dismounting. It works like a charm.

Rev. B. W. Nash held the quarterly
Association of Baptist at Hickory Grove
last Saturday and Sunday. His servi
ces as pastor is appreciated by a large
number of the congregation at that
place. The Daptut Review of which
Mr. Nash is Editor, strongly, and right
ly too, advocates prohibition. It is not
right in that organ, however, to assume
that the Democratic party has been, or
is now, responsible for the failure of
prohibition. They, the Democrats, pro
pose to let it remain where the people
themselves have place d it. The Repub
licans, I believe, assume the cause of
anti-prohibition. When the Englishes in
North Carolina show their hand, where
will the Review be found .politically V
Many favor prohibition, but would pre
fer it straight without politics.

Every one who attended the U. S.

I am glad to see that the citizens of
this town and community are getting
winewiuur-niore interested in school
matters than they have been heretofore
uever w I'lace in my life where a
good school would do more good than
in Trenton, and hence the great need
of one. A first class school would
double the population of this town in
five years, aud those who would come
to this place would be the best citizens
oi the county, and on the other hand.
without a good school the population of
me town will not only not increase, but
will actually diminish and the best neo
lo loo win leave the town, and also
the best citizens will leave the countv
and go to towns in other counties 'where
they will enjoy good educational ad-

they are right in that. .This, we all

tion. Now is it important-very im
portant that we iu this town and com
munity, aud in fact the whole county
should arouse -should awakeu to -the
present state of affairs and go to work
with all our determination aud zeal aud
establish a good school at the county
seat; build up Trenton ami therefore
build up the whole county. And, as
I have already said, until this is done,
Trenton will never advance, but ou the
other baud ! will retrograde.

so essential to this crop.

"I repeat, every farmer, and indeed
every housekeeper who can, should
raise turnips for the table, and some for
the btock. Turnips, if not more nutri
tious, are at least more healthy than
cabbage, and Turnip Salad is a luxury
that no Virginian or Carolinian can af
ford to dispense with. . I have found the
turnip to be the best preventive of hog
cholera in my experience; hogs fed on
turnips never have that plague. Sheep
and Cattle thrive on them in winter."
We also refer, among others of our
customers, to Dr. Buchan Richards, of
Sweet Hall; Mr. James Leigh Jones and
Mr. Joseph R. Gill, of Richmond; Mr'.

the happiest results.
