TALKING SENSE.

The Graham Gleane,' last week
made the following very senseible com
ments on the State Press Association
in connection with its reference to the
place of meeting to be deciled or
After remarking that it hoped place
would be selected where the brethren
OF the press can get pleasant and suit
able accommodations, with at leas
sufficient attractions to make the So
journ enjoyable, it says:
And when our work is done ther
the members can do their junketing
but we should not mix the business 0
the Association up with pleasure seek
ing, for the one would be poorly done
and the other little enjoyed.
In the past, tor at least nine years
the meetings of the Association have
been given largely to pleasure, will
a light sprinkle of business, provided
it was convenient.
We suggest that hereafter the bust
ness of the Association be given pfec
edence, and when that is done, thel
if SO inclined, the members give them
selves up to enjoyment and rest unre
reservedly. But it should always b
borne in mind, business first, the1
pleasure.

THURSDAY, JUNE p, 1889
TO THE EDITORS.

The time of holding the meeting OF
the North Carolina Press Association,
has been changed from July 18th to
July 24th.
This has been deemed best as the
meeting at that time would conflict
with the State Guard Encampment at
Wrightsville. Some of the editors be-
long to their local military, while
Others would perhaps wish to visit
Wrightsville during the encamp-
ment.
In view of this it has been thought
advisable by the Executive Committee
to postpone the time of holding the
Convention in Lenoir one week later.
July 24th.
The indications point to good
meeting this year, and | repeat, ii
is hoped there will be large attend
ance of members of the Press, those
who have not heretofore identified
themselves with the Association as
well as those who have Let us go re-
solved and prepared to make this a
business meeting, practical in its re-
suits, as we'll as a season of rest and
pleasure.
Persons who wish to attend the con.
vention will communicate with John
B. Sheriff., Secretary, at Concord.

President

LENoIR proposes to ado the agreea-
bic" thing by the Tar Heel editors
when they meet there next month.
The 7opie referring to the fact that
Lenoir had been selected by the
Executive Committee as the place for
holding the Convention, says:
We congratulate Lenoir on securing
a visit from a lot of the best fellows in
the State. The selection of Lenoir is
an honor that she appreciates and her
hospitable citizens will do everything
in their power to make the stay here
of the editors agreeable.

"t VOICE FROM DIXIE
LAND.'

Another venomous South Halter and
villainous slanderer has been heard
from. In the Pittsburg pa. Dispateh
of June 9th, is the following, under the
head of " A voice from Dixie Land -
Gomrade VIM. Murphy, of Post
I57, engaged as bridge builder in
the South, writes from Salisbury, n.
C., under date of May so:
There Is 4 national Cemetary here,
containing the graves of 1900 of our
comrades who were starved to death
in the prison located here during the
war. Not flower was placed upon
these graves to-day, except those drop
ped by my acknowledgements and
myself The talk of the "Blue and
the Gray" joining hands in the matter
OF decorating the graves here is all
nonsense. The fact is, it is considered
disgrace here to place a flower on a
Union soldiers grave, and no one but
Yankee or negro would be guilty
of doing SO, and the latter is afraid to
attempt it.
We call upon the Salisbury papers
to know what truth there is in the
statement that 1900 Federal soldiers
buried in the National cemctary there,
and whether or not this fellow and his
fellow bridgeworkers dropped any flow
ers on these graves on the goth of
May. AS to what he has to say about
these men having starved to death in
prison in Salisbury or elsewhere, that
is lie, while his remarks about the
"Blue and the Gay" &c, are worthy
of emanasing from a man who is capa
BILE of uttering such a falSehood. But
in reality, is there, or has there been
any such person asWm. Murphy about
Salisbury? If SO, let us know some
thing about him.

ter record for efficiency and the faith
full manner in which he has discharged
the duties of his Office than Mr.. Nj.
Glennan, postmaster at Norfolk. 1t
is safe to say that Norfolk never had
better postmaster. Under his ad-
ministration the service was greatly
improved, and he retires with the con-
sciousness of duty we'll performed.
His official course has been a singing
rebuke to the mean and contemplate
partisan spirit of those Republican
Senator's who voted against confirming
the appointment of Mr.. Glennan. AS
editor OF the Norfolk N,ginian he
had been fearless and outspoken in
his denunciation of the methods of
certain members of that body as we'll
as the party at large, and for this he
incurred their distaste and bitter op-
position. The talented editor will
again assume active control of his
splendid newspaper, the DAHL Tw-
yginian.

THE WHEAT CROP.

From all parts of the State, with
few exceptions, come encouraging re-
ports of the wheat crop. This is very
gratifying indeed The area planted
was somewhat larger than in former
years, and the yield will be very salts
factory. Many of our farmers will
not have to buy -four another year,
and will not be affected by the price
of that article no matter how hi gh it
may be. On the contrary, those who
have surplus will be benefited if the
trust people should combine to run the
price up as they have heretofore done
This is the only safe rule for the farm
ers to adopt. Raise your own sup
plies and you are independent of out
side influences. We gather the fol-
lowing from our exchanges:
Harvesting is on hand and we be-
lieve that the general verdict is that
this is an extra crop of wheat. This
is the crop that the census man will
take a note of next year.-ZeNoi,

This has been the harvest week OF
the season. The reports on the nature
of the wheat crop are somewhat varied.
Some report that rust has injured the
later wheat, though not very greatly.
AS general thing the crop seems to
be good, ard this section Of the State
is in fair condition to eat loaves next

The wheat crop is looking especially
fine, and is being harvested. 1t is
really gladstone sight to behold SO
many fields of the golden grain ready
for the sickle.-Sahsbu,y Herald.
The wheat crop, now beng har.
vested, is the best as to quantity and
quality ever produced. Taken on the
whole the agricultural outlook was
never more hopeful.-Len0i, 6O,7es-

The wheat harvest is in progress this
week. After all the reports of various
kinds the harvest will prove that the

Harvest has begun and farmers say
a better crop has not been gathered

Some of our farmers will begin har-
vesting their wheat in few days. The
crop in this county is said to be very
fine-Person Courier.
Wheat harvesting has begun in this
county, and wheat is said to be fine

A CORRESPONDENT of the Lumber
ton RObes0nian, commenting on the
prompt and generous action of citizens
of the little town of Maxton, in con-
tributlng to the relief of the sufferers
from the great food, says:
Some of our citizens promptly re-
sponded to the distress call sent out in
behalf of the food sufferers, or rather,
they anticipated that call, and forward
ed twenty-five dollars We would
rather be of this number, who always
use their mite to relieve present dis
tress-and thus practically step into
the tracks of our Saviour, than to be
at the head of the mightiest theoretical
body of Christians in the world. We
would infinitely prefer it to having
been the successful commander Of eth
er of the decisive battles of the world.

On an average the life of profes :
sional journalist is perhaps the hardest
known. The wide-awake and pro-
gressive editor is always studying and
working long after the busy world has
sought its couch, endeavoring to do
his duty and to make his journal more
readable. - .SmihfeM Herald.
This is very true, and part Of his
"duty'' is IN laboring for the better
ment of his town and communicate
vising plans by which to advance their
growth and prosperity, to secure manu-
featuring enterprises and give employ
ment to idle labor. In season and out
of season he works, sometimes with
poor support and less encouragement,
while he is making others around him
richer every day. The conscientious
newspaper man Is engaged in a great
work, although his efforts may not al
ways be appreciated at their true value.

Your Daughters Should Go
to School.

Bossier Parish contains many girls
and young ladies who are worthy of
the best advantages; their good dual
tiles should be brought out and de-
veloped by the best schools, and now
Is the time to look into this matter
Where can you find such school i?
Ii you will write to Prof. Eugene
Miller, of Shreveport, La, you will
find that he is conducting a 6rst-class
Boarding School for girls and young
ladies. Everything about the school
is strictly first class, teachers from
the best colleges in America and
Europe, good buildings, good board.
and every attention is paid to
thoroughness. Music and Art are
taught by competent teachers, French
and German are spoken in the class
room, and every other department
necessary for a good education is
carried to high standard. The
school is chartered under the laws of
the State, and has met with remarka
able success. During lastly which
was its second year of existence, 124
pupils were matriculated, and each
year the buildings occupied by the
school have grown too small, and
more extensive quarters were neces-
sary.
Shreveport is your business point,
and is more accessible than any other
point. 1t is just the place for good
school, and just the place to suit the
convenience Of Bossier people. You
can see your daughters frequently,
and in measure, look into the prog
ress they are making. The school
will occupy next year both of the well
known Battle Houses, situated on
Edwards street.
If you have daughters to educate, |
be sure you send to Prof. Miller for a |
before you make your ar
to send elsewhere. The |
terms are reasonable, and you will |
doubtless be better satisfied with this
school than you have ever been with
any other It is worth enquiring into
1t any rate; get the best that is in your
power and you will never regret it.
Don't wait, but attend to this i'm.
oortant matter as soon as possible.
