efforts of the State Agricultural So

further recommend that this asocia-
tion use its influence in making this
institution a success.
Resolved, That the North Carolina
Press Association tender its sympa-

Justice of the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, in his present af1liction, and
express hope for his full and speedy
recovery and return to the position
on the bench which he hOnors.
Resolved, That this body does here
by tender its earnest sympathy to
our Senator, Zebulon Il. Vance. in
his present state of impaired health:
| that it does only echo the sentiment
of every patriotic North Carolinian

tic salt-making salt the foundation
| of literal suggestion on the acroStic
| method: a scheme of exposition once
so fashionable in philosophy and relig-
| ion. Thus:
