A LOOK AT THE LOCAL
PRESS.

Brother Long, Of the Nashville A,go-
naut, one of the most wide awake, en-
terprising, and intelligently edited
weekly papers in the State, takes a
look at the condition of the local press
in North Carolina, and then sermon
ICES in this fashion. He says:
We notice every now and then some
local paper has to discontinue for the
want of sufficient support. There is
not a county in North Carolina that
cannot support one paper handsomely.
1t seems useless to say there is nothing
which does more to build up com
munity than a good newspaper. Every
intelligent man knows it. AS me-
dunn of communication between the
citizens of county it is invaluable.
The business man who does not realize
the importance of sustaining 4 paper
by literally advertising in its columns
is simply blind to his own interests. A
SoOl pdIJCI ID "OlttI III SFSAy
ten times its cost. The farmer may
think he knows more about farming
than the editor, but the intelligen,
editor can furnish him through his
paper vast amount of information
drawn from the experience of the most
successful farmers of the land, which
t he can get nowhere else, and which
he cannot afford to do without. A
county without good newspaper is
poor county to settle in, and ought tic
be summed by enterprising men. We
believe the papers are being sustained
better than formerly, but their support
now is totally inadequate. Many O
them are compelled to use patent out
sides because the income Of the offic'
does not enable them to abandon them
We hope our people will realize more
fully the importance of giving the loca
press better support.

They were 81 strong. under command

THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT.
The Sullivan-kilrain Fistic Event in
Mississippi Last Monday.

Sporting men and Others have been
wrought up to the highest pitch of ex
element lately over the prize fight be-
tween John L. Sullivan, of Boston, and
Jake kilrain, of Baltimore The
stakes were $4,000 and the title to
the championship of the world. The
event took place near Richburg, Miss
issippi, los miles from New Orleans,
Monday morning. 1t is said the fight
was witnessed by 5000 people. That
SO many people were willing to pay to
see such an exhibition OF brutality, and
that SO much interest was felt in the
affair all over the country, and SO
much money changed hands on the
result, is not creditable to this en-
lightened age, but 4 certain class of
people have Countenanced and en-
couraged prize fights for hundreds OF
years, and we suppose they will con-
tinue to be till the end of time. An
Associated Press dispatch from New
Orleans dated July 9Th, says.
The Sullivan-kilrain fight occurred
this morning at Richburg, Miss, los
miles distant from New Orleans. Sui
livan won in the seventy-fifth round
Neither of the combatants was seri-
ously injured, although Kilrain was
very weak at the close. Kilrain won
the first fall and the first blood. Sui
Ivan won first knock down. The time
was two hours eighteen minutes.
There was no interference, and Kill
rain was the first to shy his castor into
the ring. He was seconded by Charlie
Mitchell and Mike Donovan; John
Murphy, bottle holder.
Sullivan followed a minute later and
was loudly cheered. His seconds
were William Muldoon and Mike
Cleary Dan Murphy, of Boston, bot
tie holder.
John Fitzpatrick, of New Orleans
was referee.
| Just before time was called Kilrair
stepped over to Sullivan and proffered
to wager $1,000 on the result, which
was promptly accepted by Sullivan
and the money placed in referee Fitz
patrick's hands.
| When time was called for the 10th
round, Mitchell ran over 70 Sullivan
corner and asked if he would give Kill
rain present provided they would
throw up the sponge. Sullivan gener
ously answered: "Ot course WILL
but Mike Donovan, seeing the condi
ton of his principal, and to save hin
further punishment, threw up tn
sponge, and Sullivan had again proven
his title as champion of the world.
! The only marks on Sullivan were
tslight cut under the right eye ant
another on the left ear. kilrain'
body showed the effects of Sullivan
blows, and he was bleeding at the ears
nose and mouth. Both men wer
hurriedly conveyed to the train b
their friends and given attention.

DEATH OF MRS. MINERVA OVER
TON-Mrs. Minerva Overton. wife
of Capt. D. D. OvertOn. died at her
home in this place of cancer Tuesday
evening after long sickness. She had
been confined to her room several
months previous to her death, during
which time she had been great suf-
ferer. She was patient and uncom-
planning, and died as she had lived in
the full confidence Of peace and rest
beyond the grave. Mrs. Overton was
good woman, kind, gentle and SYM
pathetic, and her care of the sick and
ministerings to the needy around her
marked the true Christian in deed as
we'll as in profession. Deceased had
been for many years devout and con-
secrated member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. The remains were taken
to the country for burial yesterday after
the funeral being preached at the
church by Rev. J. D. Arnold at II
O'Clock.

S. d. Marshbourn, one OF the best to-

of irregularity, and sometimes total fail
ure. to receive the GOLD LEAF (attributa-
BILE to "Wanamaker's coons') and con-
cludes by asking what to do for drowned
tobacco. So it appears they have been
having an excess OF rain down in Nash,
about Red Oak, as we'll as up this way.
We trust, however, that the crop has not
been materially damaged, and that Sam
will have some as fine tobacco of the new
crop and as much of it sell in Henderson
as he did of the old one.
