Hon. Israel R. Abbott Head.
We gather from the North Carolina
Gazette the sad intelligence of the
death of Hon. I. B. Abbott of Now
berne, N. C. Mr. Abbott died last
week at his residence after an illness
of several weeks. He was a man ot
intelligence aud affability. He had
not the advantages of schools iu his
youth, hut attained much prominence
among his people and held many offices
of trust and honor. He served as a
member of our legislature, deputy col
lector of the Port of NewbeTie and
was a candidate for Congress in tiie
last election. He was for several years
the Grand chief of the Good Samari
tans in this State, Grand Master of
Odd Fellows and a prominent Mason’
He was also editor of the Lodge. a pa
per he published several years in the
interest of his societies and people. A
useful man has passed away. Hu was
a member the A. M. E. Zion church.
Posterity vs. Ancestry.
It is no longer questioned, it is ad
mitted, that the blood of mini is im
proving. The children of to-day are
better formed, have better ntusele
and richer minds than our ancestors.
I’hc cause of this fact is due more to
the geneAl use of Dr. Harter’s Iron
Tonic otllcr »»uree.
Living-stone College.
Editor Messenger —Dear Sib :
Please allow tne just a small space
through the columns of your valuable
paper to say a few words concerning
hat grand institution, “Livingstone
College.” This grand and noble in
stitution was gotten up and is carried
on chiefly by our colored ladies and
gentlemen. It is headed with Prof.
J. C. Price, one of the finest educated
gentlemen in the Uuitcd States of
America.
When I look around me, and see
the great change that has taken place
among the colored people within the
last fifteen or twenty years, I can say
in my heart, with thankfulness,
“Surely the Lord is with us.” We
should be proud of Livingstone Col
lege. We should take a great inter
est in doing something to help carry
on this good work. Some thoughtless
person may say : “O, well, I would
do something to help the cause, hut
what's the use of it V It will never
do me any good.” Well, suppose it
doesn’t do us, as individuals, any
good. We have children growing up
and expect it to do thorn some good.
Let us educate our children. I feel
safe in saying that all intelligent
fathers and mothers want their chil-
Ircn educated. I will say here to the
many readers of the Messenger, let
us do all wo can towards pushing for
ward this graceful institution, known
as “Livingstone College.” If we
canno’ do anything for it ourselves,
let us try to encourage those who can
and will do something.
We regret to say to the many
readers of the Messenger, that a man
with a great big head, great big feet,
and a little bit of a body, stated that
he is opposed to the churches being
taxed to carry on Livingstone College.
He said that the money that the
churches send to that place
ought to be kept right here. I
believe in having a leader, but God
forbid that any human being should
follow the examples laid down by such
a specimen of humanity as this.
We must learn to thiuk for our
selves ; learn to turn a deaf ear to
those who would say and do things
that we know are against us. No
colored gentleman who thinks any
thing of himself or his race would
dare speak anything against the schools
and colleges that are being carried on
successfully by his own race. Lord
have mercy ou such a “nigger.”
Dear readers, and well wishers of
Livingstone College, let us hear in
our memory these words, which is an
old and true saying: “United we
stand ! Divided we fall ! ”
We hope that our ministers and
teachers will encourage the above re
marks. J. C. Cunningham.
Charlotte, N. C., May 12th.
Salisbury Scintillations.
The season lias opened for all kinds
of amusement. Festivals, excursions.
kc., are now all the talk.
Mr. W. C. Smith, of the Messenger,
is iu our town looking out for the in
terests of his paper. Mr. Smith is a
deserving young man. He is fearless
and outspoken as a speaker and writer.
He hews to the line without noticing
where the chips fall. Such a man is
worthy of the best support from his
fellow- neu. We hope his trip will he
a lucrative one, and spiced with social j
pleasure.
Our municipal election passed off 1
quietly. The People’s ticket was
defeated by a small majority—only
4(i. The Democrats carried the town
in 1885 by loti —the People’s candi
dates made a gain—notwithstanding
the fraud in registration—-of oue hun
dred and ten votes.
Mr. Ramsey is a gentleman of
marked ability and integrity, and
ought to Lave been elected.
The Independent Order of Good
Templars gave an entertainment Tues
day evening for the purpose of raising
money to defray expenses of delegate

they did very well. Quito a uumber
were out.

give a festival at Livingstone College
Thursday eveniug. Quite a number
arc expected out. In fact, it prom- j
isos to boa very enjoyable entertain
ment.

cil street. He has quite a nice line
of groceries.
Milk shakes, soda and mineral
waters on sale at Henderson & Bro’s.

: night fpr the benefit of our graded

people. Our best musical talent will
show to best advantage. Let all go
and help buy books for our graded
school children.

Eczema
Or Salt-Rheum, is an eruptive disease,
covering the skin with minute pimples
which are filled with a colorless fluid.
The eruption’is attended with paiu, heat,
violent itching, and intense smarting.
When the pimples break, their watery
contents poison and inflame the skin, and
sometimes form a thick crust. Without
appropriate treatment this disease is liable
to last for months and years. .Eczema
can be cured '
By Purifying
the blood ifrith Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. **. ’or
months I was troubled with Eczema on
the head, thighs, and other parts of the
body. It became so painful us to prevent
sleep, aud caused complete proslrutioti.
After trying many remedies, without re
ceiving any benefit, I commenced taking
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine puri
fied my blood, cured the Eczema, and re
newed my vitality.—Thomas N. Cook,
West Somerville, Mass.
For twenty years I was afflicted with
Salt-Rheum, which appeared on the sur
face of my body anu limbs, in raw and
running sores. The sufferings from pain
nud itching were Intense. Nothing seemed
to relieve me, until I commenced tisirfg
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine his
entirely cured me. —George Andrews,
Lowell, Mass.
Victory Certain
I had, for years, a dry scaly hnraof,
from which I suffered terribly. As nor
brother and sister were shnfl ' nUlietcf,
I presume tho malady wa 1 • fit ary.
Last winter, Dr. Tirol, of I .. mlim,
Fla., suid to me: “ Take Ayer's S.w»upi
rilla, und continue it for a \e;tr.” Fur
five mouths 1 took it daily; and, had you
seen iny condition before I commenced
its use, I would travel a thousand milts
to show you the wonderful effects of your
remedy. I have not a blemish upon lay
body, aud I attribute my cure wholly to * j
Ayer’s Sar
.tpnrilla. —T. E. Wilev. M Chamber*
»t., New York City.
For year* I wo* badly afflicted with
Salt-Rheum. By the advice «f my |>h) *l

Cured
Os Eczema by the use of Ayer’s Sarsapa
rilla. **A few years since I was troubled
with Eczema, which showed itself first at
the ankles. Tho eruption spread slowly
over iny limbs aud body, until it envel
oped the whole frame. A watery liquid
exuded from the pimples, causing con
stant itching, and the formation of dry
scales. Three years of unsuccessful treat
ment convinced mo that this disease could
only be reached through
The Blood.
I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla: used
three bottles of this medicine, aud was
completely cured—my skin becoming
perfectly smooth and clear. I know of
numerous cases where this remedy has
been used on my recommendation, and
always with perfect satisfaction. Thera is
no blood purifier equal to Ayer’s Sarsapa
rilla. It is the nntural enemy of impuri
ties of the blood.—George G. Burtuer,
Keezletowu, Va.
For months I was troubled with Salt-
Klieuni. At times my hands would crack
open, bleed, and itch terribly, causing
great suffering. I tried almost every
remedy I saw advertised, but received no
benefit, until I took Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Four bottles of this medicine cured me.
-Mrs. T. p. Cushing, 87 Suffolk at.,
Chelsea, Mass.
Positive Proof.
Two years since I was examined at tho
Long Island Hospital, in this city, and my
case was declared to be Malt-Rheum.
I.argd scales covered my legs, and were
constantly dropping off: my eyes, alto,
were badly affected. My only relief wu
iu warm salt water baths. I was unable
to remain iu a warm room, and could only
sleep under very light bed clothes, as the
heat only Increased the burning and Itch
ing. After consulting a number of phy
sicians, ami taking many remedies, I was
finally cured by using Ayer’s Mir-
saparilla.
