A 1889 editorial celebrates Christmas as a universal spread of Christ’s love. It links peace on earth to charitable deeds and urges yearly acts of mercy toward the poor, orphans, widows, and the distressed, with hope for lasting good will.
Our opinion notes strong approval from readers of the Mirror for Hugh F. Murray's memorial address at the Davis obsequies. A letter from a leading North Carolina lawyer praises the Davis resolutions and the presenting speech as eloquent and fitting. The writer, unnamed, is described as one of the state's foremost legal minds and a brilliant orator.
A quotation denounces claims that white Southerners terrorize or seek to reen slave Black people. It argues Congress interference is unnecessary for a political issue the South is handling with courage and apparent success.
The Wilson Board of Trustees and President express hearty approval of Prof. J. E. Kelley for teaching.

The piece concludes with a reflection on history as a divine poem.
