[Editorial Correspondence. ] As we arc now spending much time on the road we have decided to give space to places and doings of our people. The world wants to know what the Negro is doing, and it is hoped what we have to, say in our travels will give some information and draw others out to write for this and other papers. We see and learn of many things among our people worth being told ; things that will do credit to the race in the eyes of the world, and encourage many youth to give the benefit of his talent and accom plishments to those to come after them. On the morning of the 15th inst., we left home for CONCORD. It was a short time ago we spoke of this town, but it will bear more tell ing. We stopped and breakfasted at the Johnston boarding house, where travellers arc always well cared for. We heard in this town complaints of hard times, but the way the people subscribed and handed in the big dol lars told us that there is money there and they are determined to read the Mksskxuer. Our collections were bet ter here than any town we have yet visited. In the afternoon we dined with Mrs. W. E. l’artee, the guest of Mrs. J. IV. Houser. Rev. I’artee is to be eongratulcd on his wise and happy choice in the selection of such a pleasant, accomplished and beautiful wife. We took tea with Rev. 11. 0. Collins, and spent the night with him. His good lady made it as pleasant for us as we could desire. He is pros pering finely in every respect. During the day we visited the town school taught by Mr. G. V. Montgom ery and Annie Palmer in the southern part of the town; also the school taught in the Raptist church in the northern part of the town by Mrs F. R. Howell. Rev. Howell has a neat church nicely painted and fur nished, which has in it also a large and handsome organ. He lias also close beside the church, a neat cottage parsonage, which compares favorably with that of our largest congregations. Rev. Partec is the happiest man in town —with his lovable and loving bride, and so many pretty girls to preach to on Sundays. He is very neatly fitted up in the parsonage. Rev. Mr. Koontr. is still working with his Lutheran brethren, lie is the only colored Lutheran minister we know of in the State. He informs us that one of his young men will graduate from the theological depart ment of Howard University next June, and another the following June. We failed to visit Scotia, but learn ed they are getting on under the now management very nicely. On Wed nesday morning we went over to samsbdrv. L. B. and W. E. Henderson’s gro cery store is general down town headquarters, and by the way, it is one of the best colored grocery stores we know of. They have the patron age and confidence of the citizens of the town, regardless of color. They keep a full line of standard and fancy groceries; have purchased and mount ed a fine soda fountain. They con duct and furnish the boarding depart ment of Z. W. College very success fully, to the satisfaction of all con cerned . We visited the Star office, and found Bro. Dancy and his foreman, Mr. Kelsey, hard at work. We were kindly shown around the grounds and through the new buildings by Prof. Battle. podge IIAI.I, ia completed and occupied by the young men. The rooms are ncatly. and conveniently furnished. One off the rooms wo visited was handsomelyc furnished throughout. Beautiful! snow-white curtains on cherry cor nices, with pretty brass rings, elegant lace pillow-shams on big pillows, and white spread, soft and rich carpets, the walls hung with pictures, case of books, easy chair, &c. Os course the College takes no part in furnishing a room in this way. It is occupied by two young preacher students, lienee the hands of lady parishioners is here shown. The occupants of this par ticular room are G. L. B. and W. B. F. IIOPKINS HALL is about completed, though there is no pressing need for it just now, we would suppose, as Huntington Hall accommodates the girls. The new street in front of the College build ings has been opened and a number of nice dwellings arc on it. First is Mr. Nelson Carter’s store, then Mr. Dancy’s residence and the printing office, then Prof. Noble’s residence, then Prof. Harris’, next Prof. Price’s, and then Prof. Goler’s. Prof. Har ris is occupying his house, while those of Profs. Noble and Price are very nearly completed. Profs. Golet and Price are building brick resi dences, and they are handsome man sions. The opening of the new street closes the old one, and throws the College buildings well back in the yard. Mr. Nelson Carter has finished and moved in his handsome two-story residence near the college. Miss Alice Grant has remodeled and improved her house and grounds, and everything around the college shows signs of im provement. It was our pleasure to dine with Prof. Noble. The enroll ment is larger now than during the whole of last session. The attendance is almost perfect. On Thursday morn ing at 7 o’clock we left Salisbury for DURHAM. We stopped in Greensboro about two hours, but had not an opportunity to visit Bennett Seminary, nor learn much of the advancement being made there by our people. We reached Durham about noon and proceeded to canvass the little city. It is fast re covering from the great fire there a few months ago. Buildiugs are rap idly going up and property is ex tremely high. Rev. J. G. Fry is in charge of the A. M. E. Church, the largest colored church in tbe town. The Baptists and Zion Methodists have churches here. Mr. W. G. Pearson is teaching a school here. A few colored men are doing business here, and some own very valuable property. The accom modation here among colored people for travelers is the poorest we have found yet. We arc under obligations to our old friend, J. W. Murchison, for courtesies. On Friday morning at 5 o’clock we left Durham for RALEIGH. where we spent the day visiting the Lcgislatute, schools, &c. The Wash ington graded school is under the prin cipalship of Mr. E. A. Johnson. Mrs. Annie Hamlin has charge of the pri mary department, and it is a pleasure to see her teach the little fellows to read. She is said to be one of the best primary teachers in the State. At 7 o’clock in the evening we left for SANFORD, and here enjoyed a good night’s rest at the residence of Mr. P. C. Holmes. On Saturday morning we were shown around the little town by Rev. F. L. Montgomery, who has a church and a school here. He is preparing to build a nice church and has about 10,000 feet of lumber on t e ground. There is in the town about twenty-five col ored families, a Presbyterian, Baptist, A. M. K. and Zion Methodist Church. The colored people own a large por tion of the town and a good many houses. Among the best houses'arc Mr Holmes’, a large two-Btory house, near the center of the town, and the neat-cottage of Mr. John Womack. There is in the town an iron foundry, a shutter and blind factory, a high school, hotel, &c. We spent part of Saturday in Jones boro, where we noticed marked im provements in the town. We left here early enough to reach Fayette ville in time to collect a few subscrip tions, read the Messenger and have a pleasant night’s rest. Sabbath was spent pleasantly, and alter visiting a number of patrons and Jrieuds on Monday we left on the 4 p. Im. train for Wilmington, and there Ifonnd our agent, as ever, ready to Jshow us around in search of subscri bers, young ladies, dinners, &c. On Wednesday morning we loft Wilmington to visit Elizabetlron, Tiumbcrton, Bennettsville, and other points on our return west. ~ Feb. 23. < W. C. S. :'M Through some mistake of the print er, last week’s paper bore the wrong -date on first page. ' n ... -L. v We are glad to publish a few notes this week from our Fayetteville cor respondent. We hope to keep it up. "J The article in last week’s paper, headed “We Cannot Afford It,” should have been credited to the Mirth State. This paper is now printed in time to resell all subscribers in this State and South Carolina, on Saturday. If you fai| to get it on Saturday the fault is with your postoffice. 'Friends on the Carolina Central are reminded that we will, during next w6ek, stop at Laurinburg, Rocking ham, Wadesboro and Monroe. We will noit fail to come this time and we hope all.subscribers will be ready. Rev. F. L. Montgomery is prepar ing to build a new Presbyterian Church in Sanford. It will be of Gothic style, 45x25 feet, with a l.ell tower extending 25 feet above the roof. 1 Miss Rachel L. Holderness, the grand-daughter of March Hooper, who left-Fayettcville in 1850 for Liberia, is visiting her uncle, Mr. Jos. Hooper, at Shoe Heel. She was born in Libe ria and is now on her second visit to this country. The; following is published by re quest: “Rev. F. Montgomery is a colored Presbyterian minister in good standing, and brings certificates and letters from various gentlemen and from ministers of our church, who have known him for eight or ten years. They all commend him as a deserving man and a genuine and consistent Christian minister. He is raising money to build a Presbyterian church in the town of Sanford, Moore county, N. C. Rev. D. Hill, Rev. Mr. Shaw, Rev. Wm. S. Lacy, A. McKethan, John D. Williams, Col. Jas. A. Hous ton and many others heartily endorse him. I commend him and his cause to those who arc able to aid him. “J. Henry Smith. “Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 8, 1880.” Twinklings from Wilmington, N. 0. Wilmington has thirteen students in Shaw University, at Raleigh, with our popular Mr. B. B. Hill among the number. We arc pleased to see J. E. Taylor busily receiving new goods in his shoe store. " Capt. John T. Howe has called a game of foot ball on the 3d of March, with Capt. Grant Lucas as his opposer. Our goad friend, John B. Hender son, stocked Wilmington postoffice on the 14th inst. with comic valen tines, with his name on every one. Johnny, will you please tell us what you mean, or had you just returned from Tokay ? Dr. Shafer is making some tasty improvements on his dwelling house. A. E. Jackson has completed his dwelling on Mcßae street. John S. Gibson, our popular under taker, is doing a good business. Mr. B. B Hill will act as agent for the Messenger hereafter, at Raleigh. Rev. A. J. Chambers lectured in the City Hall to a large audience. His subject was very interesting. Prof. Shcfan, of New Haven Conn., is giving music lessons in Minnie hall. W. C. Smith, of the Mrsiknjer, was in tbe city during the week on newspaper business, he said—but some think he is looking after calico. Jesse. ar* .—— Mamma —“Why don't you play with your nice doll, Dot?” Little Dot—“lt’s too big.” “Why, pet, I picked it out because it was so nice and big.” “You did?

Never Snub n Newspaper Alan. , A good natured newspaper report er was at a rustic picnic and rashly spoke to a young lady without the formality of all introduction. He happened to see a great fat caterpillcr crawling on her lace collar, and jump ing toward her said: Madam permit me to- But the young lady waved him off with an imperious and insulting ges ture and said: How dare you speak to me without an introduction. You are certainly no gentleman, sir! Here the caterpillar overbalanced itself and fell down her neck. Youeh! Oh! Oh! Take it off. Oh j please, do take it offsonibody! scream- 1 ed the fair one.
