Mr.. Editor: 1t was the plea
sure of this writer TO be in your
beautiful and delightful little
town on Tuesday night. prior
to the late d. mocratic Con
gre,sional Convention, and,
also, on Wednesday, July 23rd,
til" day the convention conven-
ed or organized and went 70
work i'll dead earnest to n"mi
nate a candidate for the next
Congress. He remained az a
Spectator of the proceedings
If that body until between
sunset and dark on tile above
mentioned day, then in com
pany with a cousin of his, Capt
John G. Wright, he left Cor
South Sampson, between the
Coharies, on Il visit to the
families OF this cousin, and hts
brother, Capt. James W. Wright,
where he spent Thursday and
Friday, returning to his home
i'll this city Saturday morning.
He was well pleased with the
personal and earnest work Of
the convention, and while his
own townsnrn, Mr.. { B.Aycock,
was his personal choice for
nomination to the most i'm
portant position, he was we'll
pleased with the ultimate work
of that body in giving to the
District, the high toned, intelli-
gent and moral gentleman.
Prof. B. +. Grady OF Duplin.
He thinks the Democratic BAH
ner has thus been put into the
hands of a worthy standard
bearer, who will bear it to as
sured victory, and that when he
takes his seat in the 53rd Con-
gress, he will prove himself
the peer of any member OF that
body in intellectual ability and
untiinching adherence to Demo
cratic principles. The Demo-
cracy Of Wayne will readily
unite on Mr.. Grady, for he is
no stranger to our people, hay
ing taught school i'll the lower
part of this county for several
years since the late war. Mr..
Grady will prove himself
formable adversary to any man
the Republicans may put out
against, even if that adversary
be the gifted, the witty orator
Mr.. w. S. OB. Robinson of this
city. On Friday afternoon,
July 25th i'll company with the
wife and some Of the children
o. Capt. John and 2 children of
Capt. James Wright, this win
ter attended a very pleasant
afternoon picnic Of the young
and elite of both sexes at Gar
lands on the c. +. q Y. V. R.R.
about 5 miles from Capt. John
Z. Wright's. II e weather was
very inclement, the rain pour
ing down in torrents, in conse-
quences of which the crowd
was small, not more than half
the number being present that
were expected. Nevertheless
it was d very enjoyable affair
to all, and especially to this
writer, who for the first time in
the pilgrimage of life, met with
many relatives, whom he had
never had the pleasure of meet
ing before. The supper spread
was magnificent as to those
things that go to refresh and
witty the physical man. All
things among the young went
as marry and joyous as the drip
ping elements would Kermit,
thus making this writer often
feel, while rang the merry
laugh and the ringing glee of
the young, the giddy and the
gay, the sentiment from the pen
of Gray: at makes All old mans
heart rejoice to see the young
so gay" Late in the afternoon
we returned TO our place of
sojourn, Capt. John Wright;)
and early next morning left for
"Home Sweet Home" in the
ATLANTA" of N. c.. Goldsboro,
the city of the plain, the queen
city of earth, bringing with us
fond impressions that will fol
low US to the grave. The crops
corn, cotton, peas, potatoes he
found to be splendid in South
