MACK’S NEGRO SERVICE.
Greensboro, July 16.—“ Cyclone j
Mack’s” second negro service in con
nection with his evangelistic campaign
ran away with him here tonight. He
started the colored brethren to sing
ing a verse, with the congregration
joining in the chorus, and had a hard
time stopping them. Several times
he attempted to take charge and pro
ceed with his sermon only to have to
wait until the crowd had sung itself:
out.
Folks hold on to those great old
spirituals,” he told the colored people.'
“Don’t try to ape the white folks,:
and put on the high-falutin’ stuff in j
the song line. If you do you will lose
the power and fire which has charac
terized your singing. You will get
mechanical and perfunctory and ster
eotyped. Did you know that the aver
age song of today is manufactured
to order at $2.50 each? That is the
reason that they lack powder. They
have become mercenary and that is
the way your singing will get if you
don’t hold on to the old spiirtuals God
has given you.”
Hall’s Catarrh Medicine
Those who are in a ‘Tun down” condi

them much more than when they are in
good health. This fact proves that while ;
Catarrh is a local disease, it is greatly i
influenced by constitutional conditions.

A SNOWSTORM IN JULY.
Temperature Drops Many Degrees
During the Day.
Rambler.
The citizens of Pittsboro are curious
quadrupeds. Some of them are. It
is either too hot or too cold. July,
as everybody knows, is a hot month.
So are June and August. But this
j July it became so hot that Tom
1 Leach’s wax nose melted on his face
Col. Mont Bland had to pull off his
coat and iPckard, the barber, quit
sleeping in his sox. But it was sure
enough hot. The chickens went
around the streets with wings out
stretched and mourned because they
1 were not ducks.
I Pour water on the ground and it
would return to your face in dust. But
1 a change was coming. It was on the
way, and those that had to pull off
their coats and sox, arid those who
had been going to bed naked, will
; seek more clothes, more cover and
more sox. There was going to be a
change in the weather.
I Over in the northeast there arose
this hot July morning a dark, black
reddish looking cloud. It looked awful
'mere was a stillness and a chillness
in the air that could be felt like a Re
cord advertiser feels when he loses
his pocketbook with a lot of money in
it and gets no answer to the adver
tisement.
| As the day gathered in strength
and length that cloud became higher
in the heavens. It had a fiercer look
on it and seemed to say, “You people
’ who are never satisfied will now get
j a dose of mid-winter in July and see
I if that will be what you want.”
There came a wind that blew so
hard that it shaved off At Farrell’s
new moustache. It blew into the Bank
of Pittsboro and changed a $lO bill
into pieces of money before Lee Far
rell could shut the door.
In a few minutes trie temperature
dropped from 130 in the sun to 66 in
the shade. The perspiration on Lasses
Sturdivant s face became so dry that
his face looked dusty. Listen! some
one said, hail and rain.
“Gosh!” said Mr. Wrenn, as he felt
for the whiskers he shaved off the
day before, “It’s turned cold.”
The temperature dropped to 30 and
kept falling. Mr. Cellus Perry went
out of the back of the house with his
axe on his shoulder, saying he was
going to cut some wood as he was
nearly frozen but he’d be doggoned if
he didn’t hate to cut wood in July.
Look! it’s snowing! Who ever
saw snow fall in July Something
was wrong with the world. People
are going to freeze here in July was
what everybody thought. Some sug
gested that they ring a church bell
and hold a prayer meeting, but that
wouldn’t do as not enough would at
tend to pay for the wood that was
burned.
The temperature had dropped to 20
above zero And it kept snowing and
for 36 hours it snowed before it ceas
ed. It is said by those who knew and
heard him that the snow falling stop
ped George Brooks from snoring and
when he awoke the next morning he
found that his tongue was nearly froz
en.
The temperature had dropped to 10‘
And the snow by this time was four i
feet on a level. Whoever saw any
thing like that before. Nobody but
an Eskimo.
Somebody passed Mr. Knat Hill’s
residence and saw that gentleman out
in his covered turnip patch digging
and shoveling snow and he was in his
shirt sleeves. Wlien asked what he '
was doing, he replied, “I had my heart
set on a mess of turnips for dinner
and no snow storm in July is going
to keep me from it.” And the young
man kept on shoveling snow.
Mr. Mont Bland came into town and
when asked what he thought of the
weather he remarked that it was fine,
and when he walked into the Farmers’
bank he threw off a lap robe, pulled
off two overcoats and then had left
on two other coats. He said he didn’t
like to get too cool in July as it gave
him a bad cold.
The temperature began to ris°. The
sun came out in all its glory. People
began to throw off their overcoats and
5y the next day the street sprinkler
was out and all was as natural as
before the storm.
And still people were riot satisfied.
