CHAPEL HILL, April 10, 1878

Aessrs. Editors:
1t was my pleasant privilege to attend
the closing exercises of Prof. Richardson's
school at Chapel Hill on Friday night the
18th instant. And beg leave to say that
all present, and there we're many, certainly
enjoyed quite an intellectual treat. The
young ladies and gentlemen, from the least
to the greatest, acquitted themselves SO ably
as to reflect great honor upon all connected
with the school. The evening exercises
showed conclusively the teacher had been
energetic in training the minds of his pupils
The exhibition commenced with singing,
followed by an Introductory speech by Miss
Alice Reams. Then there were a number
of speeches by little boys and girls; many
excellent dialogues and charades; and well
written compositions by young ladies. All
did well. must notice an original speech
delivered by young gentleman on Female
Education, which was really excellent The
exercises were pleasantly interpreted with
music by the brass band from Medon.
Mr.. Cullen Strickland made a snort but
appropriate speech on the subject of Educa-
ton. All were delighted.
There has been great deal of sickness
in this community for several weeks, mostly
pneumonia; but health is now improving.
The Murphys are moving boldly to the
front here. The farmers are hard at work;
plenty reigns; the people hospitsble; and
all things bespeak future prosperity. May
the Bulletin be still moro largely circulated.
Success to everybody, AUDITOR.

In order that you may not be disap-

you may commit your own self. I can
assure you, sir, that you do not esteem our

Your veil on that subject is entirely too
thin. 1 can see clearly through it all. If
L have said anything offensive to my friends

In a late issue of the American, we see
that the Nashville truckers at recent meet
ing ascertained that the following articles
in excess of home consumption, barring frost
and unlocked for accidents, would be for
shipment 8,1OO bbls. Irish potatoes; 1885
bbls beans; 200 bbls. pease; $4,000 gals.
strawberries; 5000 gals. raspberries; 1900
stands of grapes; 5000 bbls. of apples and
crates of early peaches. Early corn toma-
toes, cabbage and melons will be raised in
quantities, but no definite figures could be
given. These articles were vouehed for by
the parties present, which does not embrace
one-fourth of the yield of the county. One
third of this produce perishes every year
for the want of cheap transportation to a
profitable market If the transportation
compnies will guarantee cheap and satisfac-
tory freights, this yield will be double next
season.
So, in our county; we only need cheap
freights TO build up an immense fruit and
garden truck business. Express rates are
killing the business.

is in the upper portion of the circuit. We
copy the following from the Upton Record
Of the 18th instant
In our issue of to-day will be found the
name of Jesse Norment Esq, of Bolivar, as
a candidate for the office of Judge of the
Fourteenth Judicial Circuit. Col. Norment
is lawyer of fine ability and stands very
high as a man and attorney in his county.
His large experience and store of legal lore
well qualify him for the position to which
he aspires. He would well sustain the dig
nifty of the bench and grace the ermine by
sound and accurate decisions upon the cases
tried before him. Upon good authority we
commend him and his candidacy to the
calm consideration of the voters of this
county and circuit. He will doubtless
favor our county with visit before the
election, and give the people an opportunity
to Judge of his claims.
