We were glad to receive, a few days ago, a copy of the daily Ledger, of Oxford. Until that issue arrived we were not aware that a daily edition of that splendid paper. It is small but newsy, and as bright as a gold dollar. We will not have to buy any more newspaper wrappers in a long time. Congress is in session and the Record comes every day. About all they are fit for is to make wrappers. Congress is real kind to send them out to us newspaper folks, but if they would just be enough not to put any printing on them and send them along blank they would be lots more serviceable. We would not have to pick out the blank spots to rite on then. The Greenville in its last issue does the editor honor of copying his Cry of the hot not the justice of giving due Review.

We hope the Review will accept this in lieu of the credit. Every farmer in Pitt in Eastern North Carolina, ought to read the letter from Mr. J. P. Bowie, two columns of which will be found on first page of the Be- to-day. It treats upon subjects of interest, the of which cannot be over- drawn. Only about half the letter published to-day, the remaining half being reserved for next week. Mr. Bowie writes wisely, and if the farmers will only follow his brighter prospects will dawn upon farming interests. This paper and the one next week should be preserved with care. The letter alone is worth many times more than the subscription price for a year. In Dud, on Friday, the 6th day of December, 1889, in the city of New Orleans, JEFFERSON DAVIS, Ex-President of Lost the Soldier and Statesman, Grand Old Man of the Born in Kentucky, Juno 3rd, 1808. In peace, as in war, he his country with loyal- and He lived an ex- to his fellow men, and died as die the faithful. Death came to him in blessed old age. In the early morning, whilst the sentinel stars still watched above him, the brave and noble old chieftain slept unto death, to wake at the reveille of eternity loved, honored, and bis memory deeply and affectionately enshrined in hearts of oar Southern Peace, blissful peace, to that pi form which gave space and earthly semblance to that noble which glowed within its pass. Brave and magnanimous t Spirit of honor and I Heaven direct, thou hast crossed the dark and awful gulf which hedges in mortality from immortality To thy memory would we bring, and weaving words of praise as flowery all persons who may desire to at- garlands, scatter them above thy tend are respectfully invited. At o'clock Friday morning the spirit of Davis took its flight from time to tho Great Beyond. For nearly two weeks the people of his beloved South- land have been in a state of fever- anxiety over his critical They have listened in pro- found and reverent silence for mes- sages of hope from the bedside of their suffering chieftain. And when news favorable to his would reach their ears, their faces would give expression to the joy that was felt within. But they hoped against hope. Their worst fears were realized. On the day before he died the gratifying in- came that Mr. Davis was better; on the morrow the news flashed across the wires into every hamlet and village and town and city in the South that could be reached, that the great man had fallen. And the whole South bow- ed her head in great grief. Every heart keenly felt its own sorrow. Every patriotic son of the South realized a personal affliction in the death of Jefferson Davis. Every man could say was and the whole South a body could say was We were proud of him while he was living, we cherish his memory in death- The name of Jefferson Davis will ever be associated with the most illustrious sons of our great com- and the record of his deeds will make up ft blight page in the history of country. He won for himself in our conflict with Mexico. He won for himself an enviable distinction in the of the United States. He won for him- self the undying grain love of the South for his able and manly of her rights. We love him because he loved us. His name has been held up to pub- ridicule fay the of the North.

And he died with not a stain upon his character, nay, but with a halo of glory resting upon his brow, and a sweet peace breathed into his soul. He died as the hero always dies, covered all over with glory, and amid the tears and of his countrymen. Let the South plant evergreens upon his grave, and cherish his memory forever.
