tute, June 3rd.
Prof. Silas E. Warren. principal OF
Wilson Collegiate institute, one OF
the finest educational Institutions in
Eastern North Carolina, has invited
our townsman Mr.. W. h. Henry TO
deliver the annual address June 3rd.
Mr. Henry has signified his acceptance
and we feel safe in saying he will sustain
his reputation as an orator on this
occasion. The Wilson Adrance says
this of Mr.. Henry:
W. r. Henry, Esq. of Henderson, has
been invited to deliver the literary ad-
| dress at the commencement OF wilson
Collegiate Institute ON Jrne 3rd. Hehas
| accepted the invitation and will be here.
Prof. Warren always has a good speech
| for this occasion. He has made no mis-
take this time. He is fortunate in secur.
l ing the presence of such talented ana
| brilliant speaker, and Wilson people may
congI atulate themselves upon tLe oppor-
tunity of hearing Faneecounty' 8 eloquent
son. Mr.. Henry will meet with a warm
and cordial reception.
The Wilson Mirror, whose editor is
that gifted genius Henry Blount, him.
self speaker of rare and thrilling
powers. a rhetorician and word-painter
of surprising gifts, a true artist in the
realm of fancy, says this:
w. R. Henry, of Henderson, will deliver
the annual literary address at the COM
mencement exercises of the Wilson Col
legiate Institute on the Ord of June. We
have never had the pleasure of hearing
Mr.. Henry speak but we learn from those
who have heard him that he is a mag
netic and thrilling orator, and can sway
the senses as storms do the tree tops.
We have read number of his speeches,
and they are gems of beauty. In them
| we found the stateliest columns of males
tic eloquence, thoughts which lowered
amid the very stars Of the grandest and
most georgous fancy. We found Poesy
entwining her rarest and richest and
sweetest and noblest garlands, and we
found Imagary placing here and thereits
brightest and most sparkling and re-
splendent jewels to make bright and ra-
diant aud seductive the matchiess and So
orous and rhythmic sentences that Flowed
like that mountain streamlet whose song
full and placid current goes ripping along
radiant in kisses OF sunbeams, and with
out one dreg to soil the purity OF it's
: sparkling wavelets. A sound logician, a
polished rnetorician, a profound thinker,
! a master word builder he will deliver. an
address worthy of his own brilliant repu-
tation and of that q dmirable institution
before which it will be delivered. We con-
| graduate Prof Warren upon the admlra-
BILE selection he has made. &
