tiles Of Good Men as Seen at VIII
son Court

Wilson, n. c., Sept. 9.-Wilson Su-
perior court is now in session. The
able and upright and most admira bly,
equipped Judge Webb is presiding
with charming GRACE and dignity, ana
is showing by his fine legal erudition
and impartial rulings and exquisite
courtesy that he is most felicitously
fitted for the high and exalted posi-
ton which he so radiantly adorns
with the lustre of his brilliant powers
and magnificent attachments. Judge
Webb is indeed a man OF rareSt gifts.
for he is not only cultured and deep
ly learned in law, and with a mind
richly polished, but he is n man of
magnificent figure, tall and well CHS
elcd and handsome, courtly and ch1V-
alrous and knightly looking, and re-
pletc with the most charming bearing
and exquisite manners. and with his
big heart and tender Sympathies and
unbounded love for humanity, he IS
indeed a grandly panoplied gentleman
and most happily endowed with all
those virtues and graceS which give
dignity to the bench and glory light
to manhood in it's highest and most
attractive development.
Solicitor c. G.. Daniels is repre-
senting the State most efficiently, and
is sustaining his well deserved repu-
tation as being one of the best solicit
tors in the State. He is indeed a fine.
q most admirable prosecuting officer.
for he is able and alert, he is vigorous
and energetic and Jealous, he is cour-
ageous and bold and aggressive and
conscientious, and prosecutes crime
with commendable zeal and earnest
ness and feariessness. And he makes
a fine impression upon d jury, ana
presents the law and the facts in its
most attractive garb, for he has p
fine, resonant voice, and employs
chaste and ornate diction, while now
and then he opens those fountains Of
brightest humor which sparkle
through his sentences and makes as
the current of his speeches as radiant
us mountain streamlets when sun
beams are entangled in their musi-
cal ripples.
The criminal docket is very large.
and it will take the entire week To
dispose of all the cases. The case OF
importance will be tried this week.
The solicitor is trying to empty the
Jail of it's many occupants, and thus
rid the county of the expense of feed
ing them. A number have already
been sent to the roads, and Capt Mas
sey's gang" will be considerably in
creased by the end of the week.
And a notice of the court proceed
ings in Wilson would not be com
of the efficiency of one of our most
ecellent clerk, j. D. Bardin, pronounc-
ed by some judges to be the best
clerk in the State. for he keeps all
papers in perfect order, and in his de-
partment there is not one note OF dlS-
cord or confusion for the current OF
all legal proceedings runs as smoothly
as an unobstructed stream. And the
affable and sweet spirited ana very
& ~ CJ,nr
assistants perform their duties to the
delight of all.
In addition to our local bar, which
is one of the strongest in the state,
for we have some of the ablest law
~vors and finest and most fGrceful
speakers to be found anywhere, we
have the honor of having with US that
great and brainy and well poised laW-
yer James Fl. Pou, whom many re-
gard as one of the greatest lawyers IN
the State. We have never seen MS
superior, and we have seen the best
