LOCAL.
The Signal is the name of a new
Republican weekly paper started in
Raleigh by J. C. L. Harris.
The Outlook is a weekly paper just
started in Raleigh with Messrs. Wiley
B Hunter, J. R. Hawkins and Rev.
R. 11. W. Leek editors and managers.
If you fail to get your paper on time,
please inform us at once so the error
may be corrected. If you pay for it
you shall have it.
The State Senate has passed a bill
allowing Monroe to issue bonds to the
amount of §4,000 to purchase a steam
fire engine.
Mr. R. R. Hartsfield is moving his
goods to the Johnston Block on Tryon
street where he will have much more
room for his business
Two sermons a day arc enough for
a man to preach and. a person ought
not to want to hear more. Forenoon
and night when the weather is good.
About fifty colored men from Samp
son county came up the Carolina Cen
tral road last Tuesday morning on
their way to the turpentine farms of
Georgia.
John A. Moss, Enj., a colored law- j
ycr in Washington, successfully man- j
aged a case for a white client last week, ]
charged jwith manslaughter. The
client was from Virginia and the case
tried iu Washington city.
Volume one. number one of the j
West Alabama Advocate is before us, j
Rev. Z. T. Pearsall is editor. Revs, j
A. L. Scott and F. A. Clinton corres- :
ponding editors. Rev. A. J. Warner ]

ed newsy paper
j
The South Carolina Senate has
passed abill prohibiting the organising
of colored field hands as Knights of
Labor. The House Judiciary com
mittee failed to report it for action in
the House.
Oates Bros., will soon construct a
block of brick buildings containing
eighteen houses fur the accomodation
of the operatives in the factory. The
work aud force of the factory is to be
doubled.
The Wilmington board of aldermen
did not favor appropriating §150,000
to extend the C. F. A Y. V. R. R.
from Fayetteville to Wilmington. It
is suggested that the legislature sub
mit the questiou to the voters. We
endorse the sentiments expressed in j
the index, that if the work is to be
done by convicts it should be voted
down every time. Let tlio people un
derstand before they vote Let them
have free labor these hard times.
If our words would avail anything,
we would say to the Republicans in the
United States Senate, confirm J. C.
Matthews, Register for the District of
Columbia. Because he is a colored
man is no reascu why he should not
hold office under a democratic admin
istration. Republican Senators make
a double mistake when they refuse to
aonfirm him. Some say their is a set
of northern republicans opposed to a
negro holding office under any kind of
administration.
Harried.
In the town of Laurinburg on the
6th inst., at the residence of the brides
parents, Miss M. A. Crawford to Mr.
B. W. Morton, Rev. C. W. Blaylock,
officiating.
A Last Call.
We are trying to inform each sub
scriber what he' owes up to Jan. Dt.
He will please pay that and inform us
what he intcuds to do this year. We
must have a clean list. See notice.
Settle up.
The Colored Fair.
We are informed by Mr. W. C.
Coleman, treasurer of tho Colored In
dustrial Association, that five hundred
dollars (§500) will be paid out in
premiums. Three hundred dollars
will be paid out at once and two hun
dred dollars in March or April. Those
who had meritorious articles at the fair
may now lookout for themselves.
Wood for the Poor.
A train load of nice dyy pine wood
arrived at the N. C. freight depot last
Tuesday evening for distribution
among tho poor of the city. It was
provided by our city fathers and was a
blessing to hundreds who were pro
vided for by Capt Strickland who with
his street force took charge of the wood.
The colored people arc especially
thankfnl to Mayor Johnson.
Wholesome Reading.
The Messenger is wholesome and
interesting reading in a certain shop
on a certain corner. No one in that
basement pays for the paper, yet we
are informed that is one of the first
places the Messexgek finds its way
after it leaves the press, and it is eager
ly read and re-rcad for the gratifica
tion of those assembled. Well, the
paper is printed for the public good
and we are glad it is read whore it is
so much needed. We now put them
on our “charity list.”
A Pleasant Rivalry. /^'V
Circumstances will keep alive the
spirit of rivaly between the new church
and its mother—Clinton Chapel. The
Sabbath school collections will be
closely watched. The new church
with its small number will not be ex
pected to raise as much as the old
church, but comparisons may be drawn
which will tend to make each do its
full duty. On the first Sunday in the
year the new church S. S. raised one
cent more than the old church. On
last Sunday, the collection in the old
church S. S. was 99c. while in the new
church it was §l.Ol. There are many
special works to be done by the Sab
bath school, and it is hoped that all of
our Sabbath schools will go bravely
to work with (the new year and do
whatever their hands find to do, with
all their might, soul and strength.

the best terms. He is a fine musician
and knows a good instrument. He is
a worthy young colored man and it is
hoped the colored people reading this
paper will give him their patronage
when they want an organ or piano.
The Proper Thing to Do.
Mr. Editor — Dear Sir : It seems
by some means that the Messenger
will visit mb? I am proud to say
that it never did come before I want
ed to see it. The Messenger stayed
off so long I began to think that it
had marked me out as a foe. And as
I am pursuaded to believe it is worthy
of a place on every intelligent desk,
I sigh for its continuation, and if for
warding funds will continue its visits,
I’ll not hesitate to do so. The publi
cation of Dr. Talmage’s well-argued
sermons has doubtless added to the
value of the Messenger. I am per
suaded to believe that he who reads
a paper, and is benefitted thereby,
and will not aid its circulation, still
wishing to be benefitted thereby, is
wishing to steal that much.
As the Messenger will come, and
must come, please find enclosed
§1.50, for which forward it to me.
Your friend,
C. M. McNeill.
Variety Grove, N. C.
Tho Pastor’s Union, a colored
organization at Jacksonville, Fla.,
has adopted an address and a set of
resolutions denouncing the proscription
practiced against colored people by
the railroads and declaring on that
account a boycott against the rail
roads. This is a proper course to
pursue. If the railroads can stand it
we know the colored people of Jack
sonville can. The money that the
colored people of the South waste on
railroad excursions is enormous and
we aro pleased to see the colored
ministers waking up to the fact that
they are concerned about the con
i ditions of the present as well as the
I conditions of tho future.— Freeman.
TAKE NOTICE.
This paper must be paid for in ad
vance. When the time is out for
which it is paid, it will be discon
tinued. Not that, we fear we will not
be paid, but that we must come down
to business principles. We have to
pay cash for everything, and caunot
afford to send out at our expense sev
eral hundred papers. It is better for
both if you pay in advance.

AYER’S PILLS.
A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from lieruiige
nient of the stomach, bowels, ami liver.
A7er's Cathartic Pills act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
eure the diseases onused by their derange*
nient, including Constipuilou, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for ail of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
Pills by eminent physicians in regular prac
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation iu
which they are held by the medical profes
sion.
Tlieso Pills are compounded of vegetable
substances ouly, and arc absolutely free froi*
calomel or any oilier injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes :
"Ayer’s Pills are invaluable tome, and
are tny constant companion. I have been
s severe sufferer lroin Headache, and your
Pills are the only thing 1 could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free iny head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest nhyric
I have ever found. It is a u (ensure to me to
speak in their praise, and 1 always do so
when occasion offers.
W. L. PAUE, of W. L. Page & Bro.’»
Franklin St., Richmond,Ya., June 3, 1882.
‘I have used Ay kb’s Pills In number
less instances as recommended by you, ana
havf: never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as a
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYS PEPSI A they are invaluable.
J. T. Hayes.**
Mexia, Texas, June 17,1882.
flie Uev. Francis B. Harlowe, writing
from Atlanta , (Ja. t says: " For some yean
past 1 have been subject to constipation,
from which, In spite of the use of medi
cines of various kinds, I suffered increasing
inconvenience, until some months ago I
began taking Ayer’s Pills. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, aud
have vastly improved my general health.’*
Ayeu’s Cathartic Pills correct irregu
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe
tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.
