Clinton Chapel S. S., the big

We expect to go and hope all of us

We were shown, one day last week

Rev. C. R. Harris of Livingstone
College filled the pulpit in Grace
church last Sunday. Prof. Harris is
no stranger in this city and our people
gave him a hearty welcome. He was
pleased with the new church and the
prospects for a fine and strong
auxiliary to Zion connection.
The Oriole Literary Society met
at Miss Laura Lomax, last Tuesday
night and enjoyed a very pleasant
session. Drs. W. D. Clinton and
J. T. Williams, Mr. J. A. Ramsour
and Miss Nora Tyler were at the
meeting. The society adjourned to
meet on the 19th at Miss Demetra
Grier’s.
;■ It is gratifyiug to see the people
coming to their senses and recognizing
tiie fact that there is room and mater
ial here for another Methodist church,
and that they are forgetting their
bitter feeling, remembering that to
love God they must love the brethren
also. All want to live now in peace,
friendship and love together.
A letter from Monroe informs us of
the annual exercises of the Church Aid
Society. They have attached to the
Society a sewing circle, which makes
articles for sale. These societies were
formed by Rev. J. A. Wright during
Lis stay there and have done the people
much good. E.F. Osobrook is president
and W. G. Page secretary.
Good friend, patience and prayer
will help you much. Don’t speak
ill of one but pray for those who
dislike you. Why, it matters not
how loud a Christian you have been,
if death catches you in that mood,
the devil will get you certain. lie
that says he loves God, and yet
hateth his brother, is a liar, says
Christ.
On last Sunday morning the
chronicle spoke of a white child being
brought up in a colored family.
If he will exert himself a little he will
find other white children in colored
families here in this city and through
out the South. Numbers of colored
women are raising white children by
request of the mothers.
Rev. Bloice will he here tomorrow
and will preach an Easter sermon in
tle morning. There will be no
preaching iu the afternoon nor at
night. The exercises of the Sabbatli
School will be at night, beginning at
7.30 oclock. Clinton Chapel and
other Sabbath Schools have been
invited to be present. Preparations
have been going on during the week.
It now turns up that government
detectives from Washington have
worked up a case of crookedness in
Rutherford county in which tho Store
keepers and distillers were in copart
nership defrauding the Government.
“They are charged with wholesale
violations of the revenue laws on a
big scale.” Os course these were
Democratic revenue officers.
The elections in the western cities
show very large Republican gainß.
Prominently among which, Chicago
and Cincinnati went Republican by
large majorities. These things point
signifioantly to a Republican victory
in ‘BB. Some sensible Democrats
say Cleveland is the only hope for
them, but can he hold the South
solid? The die is cast. Democracy
is doomed if Republicans do not act
as the Democrats use to: destroy their
beat chances.
On last Tuesday night about 11,
oeloek the residence of Mr. H.
Baumgarten was discovered to bo on
fire. The roof was in a blaze before
discovered and the bouse was well
nigh destroyed, because there was
not sufficient water in the standpipe
or some other cause, to get a decent
stream of water. The house was
insured and the furniture saved.
The family was asleep, but all got
out unhurt.
The Catawba Presbytery convened
in Seventh-street Presbyterian Church
on Wednesday night, and continued
in session the remainder of the week.
Rev. 11. E. Baker, of Davidson Col
lege, was elected moderator, and Rev.
W. E. Partee secretary. Rev. G. S.
Leeper preached the opening sermon.
The sermon on Thursday night by
Rev. Dr. Satterfield, was much enjoy
ed by all present. The business of
the session was carried on very har
moniously.
Tho idea of taking little children
up to court is ridiculous. These
times are too hard to give away your
hard earned money that way, when
strap-oil is so cheap. That is the
article so much needed, and a fail
ure to use it is tho cause not only of
little court scrapes, but of big steals,
murders and hangings. Solomon
lived a long time ago, but we believe
ho was about right when he said:
“spare not the rod and spoil the
child.” Make your children obey
you, parents.
Off for Money.
Next Tuesday we will start down
the Carolina Central load after money.
Subscribers on the line will please be
ready for us. Wc will reach Fayette
ville about Saturday next. Other
friends will please send in their dues
at once. We beg to be excused for
all shortcomings in the paper next
week, though wc will try to get Mr.
Calvin to look after the locals.
Young Doctors.
On Tuesday last we were pleased to
meet Drs. Samuel G. Mickey and Wm.
11. Johnson, of Charleston, S. C.,
recent graduates of Howard Medical
School, Washington, D. C. They
were on their way home and will soon
enter the practice of their profession.
Mr. W. D. Clinton, of Lancaster,
S. C,, spent last Tuesday in our city
also. He was returning home and
has just finished his second year in the
Leonard Medical School at Raleigh.
Our Johnston White is also at home,
having finished his second year in the
same school. Prof. M. W. Alston,
who has just finished his first year,
spent a few days with us also and re
turned to Raleigh on Tuesday night
to help Mr. J. H. Williamson publish
the Gazette in the interest of the In
dustrial Fair.
i
Won’t be Happy.
Some people will complain if the i
whole world is given them and every I
thing arranged by their own direction.
To say “stove pipe” hat is not at all
disrespectful, and iu fact, it gives the
clearest idea of what kind of a hat is
meant. But,,we did not feel inclined '
to give a whole column to a matter
that was of so little interest to the J
church in which the presents were
given. Now why need there be so
much talk about it by persons who
make no suggestions to this paper and
pay nothing to its support? This is a
newspaper and we try to treat every
body with respect, but some people
will not let you treat them l ight if you !
try. If you are a paying subscriber |
to this paper you have a right to crit-1
icise its sayings. If you are not, and !
talk übout it, you are a tnedlcr and '
busy body in other folks’ business.
That New Carpet.
Last week we spoke of the Presby
terians carpeting their church. We
gladly admit that we owe them an
apology. Wc had not seen the carpet
when we wrote before, but we have
seen it now, and not only repeat that
it is a fine and beautiful carpet,
but the floor of the church is carpeted
off over, from tho pulpit to the door,
in and under every pew. It is a neat
job, and the carpet is aH good and as
i unsparingly spread as we have seen in
any of the best churches in the country.
Re v. Wychr and bis good sisters deserve
much credit for their labors and the
tasto displayed in selection and work,
j The members of tho Presbytery learu-
Itd something useful from our ladies
as well as from each other in their
meeting here.
The removal of Prof, Sanborn, of
N. H., after being pronounced in
curable by a score of physicians, from
Los Vegas, N. M., to his home, was
effected by administering Dr. Harter’s
Iron Tonic, which has restored him
to his former good health.
