OUR WILSON LETTER.

All Wilson is now standing on the
tip-tOe of anticipation, for the fires Of
Democracy are effulgehtly lit and glo-
riOusly burning, and the people are de-
ternined to make the demonstration
on the Goth the grandest one ever held
in Wilson. All the preparations are made
for Wednesday, and we are assured that
it will be a glorious affair, for eloquent
speeches and thrilling music and beauti-
full maidens will give inspiration to the
glorious occasion, and make it one of the
most memorable events in the history
Of Wilson. 1t is thought that fully
eight thousand people will be here, for
Mr.. G. G.. Daniels, the very vigorous
and energetic chairman of the Democrat
ic Executive Committee, has arranged
a most attractive program for the &C.
casiOn. and as his admirable manage
ment has brought the Democracy into
the most thorough organization, every
body will put his shoulder to the wheel
and move the chariot of Democratic
endeavor to the glorious goal of the most
brilliant results. Under Mr.. Daniels
enthusiastic and mastery leadership the
Democrats of Wilson county have been
thoroughly aroused and gloriOusly en-
Unused and they are most stubbOrnly de-
termined to carry the election in No
vember. John Z. Woodland, Randolph
Uzzell, Atlas Finch, Sid Woodland, Ben
Taylor and Sidney G.. Mewborne have
been canvassing the county and making
strong, vigorous and most forceful
speeches, and we know that their FIVE
efforts will be good seed sown in good
ground, and that glorious harvest will
be reaped in November. And by the
way, the speech of Col. Worthington on
Tuesday night was the most beautiful
political speech ever delivered in Will
son. 1t was chaste ornate, polished and
exquisitely rounded, and fragrant with
the delicious perfume of the rarest
flowers Poesy. In the realm of ornate
dicton and eloquent utterance, Col.
WorthingtOn reigns most royalty, and
wears his robes most gracefully, and de-
ports himself with the modesty OF a
woman.
The anniversary of the Missionary
Society of the Baptist church on Sunday
night was a most delightful occasion.
An excellent and appropriate address
was delivered by Prof. Crittenden, Of
the graded school, and some very nne
and most exquisite music, both vocal
and instrumental. was rendered. The
nary, gave some of the finest music ever
heard in Wilson. 1t was grand, superb.
magnificent, and brought every heart in
willing bondage to its conquering witch
cry of rapture and enchantment. The
admirable report of the highly cultured
Mrs. WOrthingtOn, the excellent and en-
thusiastic president, gave a glowing ae-
count of the workings of the society
during the year, which was indeed most
creditable showing TO the praisewOrthy
efforts of this noble band of workers.
| should judge that the powerful blows
now being stricken" by the aggressive
Gold Brothers are striking sensitive
parts and are being most sorely felt, for
they are now being sued in two cases
Tor libel. But the boys keep ION a hit
ting" just the same and "haint let up
Bit" for they know their cause is just,
and they further know that thrice arm
ed are they who have their quarrels
just"
