WAKE FonEsr STUDENT VINO Cur
HIS WAY THRoUGH.--A student named
Davis, from up in Cherokee county, gradu-
ated this session at Wake Forest. Five wears
ago he went to that college with Eve cents in
his pockes-all his money They told him
bed better go back, bat he vowed he'd STAY
around there aud live on the wind but that
he'd go through. And stick he did. He
cut wood for citizens and faally all the pro,
tessors gave him the coutract to cut up their
winter wood. Professor Royal was in the
chapel one morning aud heard terrible
racket outside, like a cannon touched of. and
1t was Davis who had finished all of a pile of
wood except some great knotty sticks that
he had split by boring holes aud mining in
powder. He cut six hundred and odd dol
lars out of wood during his term and gradua>
ted only twenty five dollars in debt for the
who e five years. He learned to sing aud
taught singing schools in the country during
the spare Saturdays. That made him some
money. He graduated with honor, and the
subject of his commencement speech was
'.Hew to the line; let the chips fall where
they may" He has go. his axe with him.
and intends to lay it away in his study and
label it: with this cut my way through"
He has already been offered proiossorship
in some college. ---,

A Coon RULE.-The New York Times
says: "A wholesale grocer in this c,ty who
became suddenly rich in business. saws his
ru'o has always been whom he sold goods on
credit to at once subscribe TO the local paper
OF his debtor. So long as his debtor adver.
tised literally and vigorously he rested; but
as soon as he began to contract his adyer-
tising space he took the fact as evidence
that thore was trouble ahead. and ho inva.
riably went to his debtor Said he, the man
who gets too poor to mako his business
known is too poor to do business Tho with.
drawing of an advertisement is evidence of
weakness that business men are not slow to

During the siege Of Boston, Gen. w.sb>
ington consulted Congress upon the propriety
of bombarding the town Of Boston. Mi.
Hancock was then President of Congress-.
After Gen. Washington s letter was read,
solemn silence ensued. This was broken by
a Der msking motion that the House
should resolve itself into committee of the
whole in order that Mr. Hancock might give
his opinion upon the Important subject, as he
was deeply interested from having all his
estate in Boston. After he left the chair. he
addressed the chairman Of the committee of
the whole in the following words. Il. is
true. sir, nearly all the property have in
the world is in houses aud other real estate
in'the town of Boston; but if the expulsion
OF tho British army FROM it, aud the liber
ties OF our country require their being burnt
to ashes, issue the order for that purpose

our meeting here this week. Besides
this Upper Ohio Valley section, Just
mentioned as producing a distinctive
and noted wool, Kentucky comes for
ward with another wool Of n greatly diff
ferent class, and a little strip of country
beginning in Virginia and running along
the Kanawha Valley country and into
Ohio, gives the Philadelphia market a
wool which the manufacturers highly
prize; while further south, in North
Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, are
sections that give promise OF eclipsing
the world in the production OF certain
classes of wool. Further north in In
diana and Northern Ohio, and stretch
ing into Canada, is a section that always
finds a market TO. its wool. Michigan,
Wisconsin, and even Kansas n Ne
braska, claim that, with a little time and
experience, they al equal or excel the
Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia
wool. We have asked other countries
and clims to participate in our display.
We desire to learn from them, and give
to them what is due from us, of what
ever measure OF success We may have,
and for which We owe them in the i'm
proyement of u breeds.
But one other word must not be left
unsaid by my friend and myself. What
ever may be the grand results which
Will flow from the meeting, too much
credit cannot be given to our Pennsylya-
MIA friends for their work in season and
out OF season, and by night as well as by
day, to make this affair in all its bearings
a complete success. The most of rs can
little appreciate the difficulties by which
they have been surrounded. Jealous
les, rivalries, lack of appreciation # their
work and many other difficulties have
almost taken the breath from their I'M
~dertaking. But it has come through up
TO the present time. And it is under
stood that all they ask is that the work
begun here shall 90 on. They surren-
der all local pride, and hope the work
now commenced will go on, not here,
but elsewhere. Let other localities take
it up. Let this be simply and only the
beginning. Let more and greater
success be attained elsewhere. All that
is asked is that those interested in
sheep, wool and wool products will not
allow the interest here exhibited to les
sen until we cannot only produce all
that We need for our own consumption,
but begin to supply the world with not
only the raw material, but the manu-
featured goods.
Again, while We welcome those who
come, let us most cordially thank those
who have prepared this place and occa.
sion for us all.
