S.AML. i. SKINNER, ESQ.

We perform one of the sadCe- !
duties Of our journalistic career in|
paying tribute to the memory of our
departed friend, Mr. Samuel J. Skin
ner, who died in Edenton, On Sunday
evening last, the 23rd inst.
On Tuesday afternoon he was laid
to his final rest in St. Paul's Church
yard. where sleep the loved represent
tAtives of so many of the families on
our town.
For the last few years Mr.. Skinner
served his people as County Super
intendent of PUBLIC instruction, and
the improved condition of our public
schools is due in large measure to his
careful and constant effort in their
behalf.
With his fine appearance, courtli-
ness of manner, and striking powers
Of conversation. through which there
was ever an under current ofsplendid
courtesy, it is no surprise that he has
left so many warm friends and adj
mirers to regret his death, and
mingle their sorrows with the sadness
of his surviving relatives.
In earlier life, when enjoying good
health, Mr.. Skinner located in Gran
vile county, where he took a promi-
nent stand as member of the Bar.
and in managing the political fortunes
Of his adopted county. The impress
sion he there made is well attested
by an article which the writer saw
some year or SO ago, in a paper OF
Henderson, in which the people of his
party were urged to do their duty,
and were reminded that they no
longer had Samuel 7. Skinner to rally
them to the front. The changing
years broug hit ruin to the health Oh
our friend, and his lack of it forbade
that display of activity which would
otherwise have marked his closing
years.
We feel unable to pay him the
tribute which is due him from this
Office. A few years ago he found us
with our journalistic venture but an
unsteady ship upon an untried sea
Whatever safety has marked hel
progress, and whatever esteem ir
public confidence this paper enjoys
is largely due to the fact that his
hands have held the helm that guided
her destinies. We revere his mem,
DRY for his kindness, and tender tc
his relatives our sincere sympathy
over his death.
Every glance at the mourning dis
played in our Office serves to REMIND
US of the assistance we have received
from him, and with life's duties end
ed, though still living in the pleasan
recollections of us all we believe anc
that he has entered into rest.
