that no one could be nominated for

election would give more genuine

AS stated in our last issue, we
visited this week the Edenton High
School, where we found AZ bright
little boys and girls, including many
fast budding into young man and
womanhood, and everything running
on as smooth as machinery. The
mode of teaching is somewhat diff
ferent from that of the Graded school,
and is very simple and easy. Prof.
F. P. Hall is an excellent instructor
and manages his work we'll. He
uses a gong in calling his classes for
recitation and the school to order.
The scholars all seem to take great
interest in their studies and works
hard for a good report,
Such a school is an invaluable
help to any community and should
be appreciated and sustained by all
those who value the education of
their children and would have them
prepared for duties as we'll as shares
in this life.

SUSPENDED.

The Charlotte Chronicle of Sunday
says: The Observer failed to make
it's usual appearance yesterday after
noon. The cause of. the suspension,
it is understood, is that the paper

OUR TENTH Anniversary.

room for another of the kind;
but there is always room at

meant to be. We aimed to
excel, and the hosts of GUS
toners we have made will
testify how we'll we have sue
ceeded.
We begin this issue of the

people of Washington for the
support they have extended
to us during these ten years,
and deSirouS of showing a
proper appreciation have
concluded to have a grand

our successful career. Each

Siderably less in price than
formerly, and many are less

Col. Douglass Pride.

We hear it mentioned frequently that
Col. II. Kyd Douglass, the democratic
candidate for congress ia this district IS
proud. We believe it and are gratltied
to know that such is the case. We be-
lieve that he, as a high-toned gentle
man has sufficient pride to keep him
far above the contemplate Associations
OF the average politician and if such be
the case, let it be recorded to his hon
or. A man without pride is confound-
edly common manand for such we have
little favor.
The people Of this congressional dis
trict must Look for some other source
Of weakness in Col, Douglass than that
Of ali honorable pride he IS fine gen
tlcman, eloquent and aggressive and in
these shining qualifications IS matched
against his peer, so that the politicians
must occupy other grounds against
