the South flourish more luxuriantly than
in Wilson. N. G. The happy community,
says the New York World, is blessed,
moreover, with newspaper editor who
personifies that spirit, and who has at
his command jeweled diction in which
to print his feelings. This editor is
Henry Blount. and he edits and writes
the Wilson Mirror.
1t Is perhaps necessary to assure the
readers Of the World in the plainest and
most unmiStakable manner that the eX-
tracts printed below are taken from
real newspaper.
Under the caption Local Laconics''
are to be found many things that pro-
vide most agreeable refreshment to the
Jaded brain. Here is one of them:
miss Lena Taylor, of Whitakers,
spent several days in Wilson. and her
company has been much enjoyed, for
she is as pure as the soul of an icicle,
modest as a violet, gentle as the down
upon the tender thistle, yet strong and
regal in all the attributes of the royal
power of God-crowned womanhood
She is. indeed, an object before which
admiration bows in sweetest and fond
est homage"
distractions in extending compliments
of this kind. The occupation of the
parent of Miss Physioc, referred to be
low, is elsewhere considered humble,
but in Wilson the daughter of tailor's
assistant can boast of ''having sprung
from one of the first and most refined
families of Granville county," as we'll
as of the royal power of god-crowned
womanhood.
Miss Mollie Physioc has arrived and
Joined her father. the excellent tailor of
Edgar Gays fine clothing establishment.
She is young lady of remarkable at
tractlveness and loneliness, having
most graceful and bewitching figure,
and beasts spotless lineage, having
sprung from one of the first and most
refined families of Granville county,"
Every specimen of Goods asst, best
gift to man." which is one of Mr.
Blount's many graceful ways of saying
woman comes in for equally generous
treatment. One reads that "Mrs. jim
Martin, one of the best and truest
women we have ever known, is on
visit to Wilson,"
Mr.. Martin is hardly less admirable a
person than his charming wife-"Mr.
Jim Martin, large and prosperous
hardware merchant of Hickory, gen.
pure" spent Saturday, Sunday and
Monday in Wilson.
Editor Blount acknowledges the high
est qualities in his male fellow-citizens
as readily as in the objects of his sweet
est and fondest homage. Mr.. Rowe
must have been materially urged for
ward on his remarkable career by the
following:
"Our esteemed young friend. Howard
Rowe. is another one OF Wilson's bright
boys who went away from home and
wrote his name high up in radiant pen
cilingS upon the brilliant scroll of pros
perity and success. He now holds
very responsible position in the express
service, and most highly esteemed for
those sterling qualities and shining
virtues which make up the reSplendent
crown OF firSt-clasS business man. and
studded with gems of highest integrity
and honor"
If the tribute which is paid to Robert
Physloc'S voice is as truthful as it is
eloquent that organ must be an impor-
tant feature of the small village which
possesses it
1.-The admirable and finely equipped
choir at the Baptist church gave US
some exquisite music on Sunday. The
magnificent baSSO voice of Robert
and mellow, and some of his swell
ing notes sounded like the mellow I'M
dertone of the laundering organ of the
deep, when the winds, which played
upon its Octaves. are lifted and gone"
False mOdesty does not cause Mr..
BlOunt to conceal his honest pleasure at
a we'll deserved compliment paid to
himself.
I'VE find," he says, Sin the Washing
ton Gazette, one of the best, brightest
and most interesting papers in the state.
for it is edited by gentleman who is
noted for the respondent brilliancy of
his fine mental endowments, the follow

mortal day will be properly celebrated
here. as it should be throughout the
South. In response to an invita-
ton from the Ladies' Memorial and
EX-COnfederate associations, through
Capt. Macon Bonner, Henry Blount.the
brilliant editor of the Wilson Mirror. has
accepted an invitation to deliver the
memorial address here. Mr.. Blount
wields poets pen, and his rounded
periods, gems of thought and burning
eloquence and patriotic fire on the ros-
trum captivate the multitude. We are
glad he is coming"
One cannot help noting the similarity
naments of literature. Henry Blount
and the editor of the Washington Ga
Zette. 1t is hard to say who is the more
overwhelming in his expression of high
regard for the other. Here, indeed, is
an opportunity to appreciate the differ
ence between the Journalism of the
South and of the coarse and violent
West.
MIR. Blount calls attention to the fact
that on the last page will be found san
Interesting communication from the
polished pen of brilliant and talented
young gentleman of Nashville" The
young gentleman'S communication be-
gins thus:
s. Nashville News.
e One who was so much honored as to
have what he wrote published in the
paper that reflects the brilliant thoughts
that emanate from the mind of Henry
Blount, that after striking the surface
of the glass throw out their beautiful
reflections to all who gaze upon its
finely polished surface, begS leave to
have few scenes thrown against the
glass, even though the ugliness of their
countenanceS might break it.
The high type of citizenship to be
found in this part of North Carolina is
continually impressed on the reader of
the Mirror. For instance:
"Eider A. j. Moore, a polished gen.
tleman, an able preacher. a consecrated
Christian and as noble type Of man
hood as ever walked the earth, paid us
a very pleasant visit on Tuesday,"
Probably the religious ministrations
of such men as Rev. Mr.. White produce
this abundance OF consecrated Chris
tians.
''Rev. Mr.. White, who will fill the
pulpit of the Baptist church until Oc-
tober, has arrived and entered upon his
work. We heard his sermon on Sum
day morning 1t WAS Sharn=nninted
