We have not seen a catalogue of |
Shaw or St. Augustine or either of
the other four State normals. We j (
have at least a half dozen graduates j .
from the college department of Lincoln : |
Univ irsity, Pa., this year. Seventy- j (
five Negro graduates for the Old
North State does very well this hard j ,
year. j,
The graduates from Biddle this

Mr. W. 11. Shcpperson requests
u. to say that the reports charging
him with making uncomplimentary i
remarks concerning the good people ,
of ihif city, arc wholly untrue and i
without foundation. He has the
highest respects for and the kindest
feelings toward the goo I people of
this < ity , all of whom have been very
kind to him during bis stay here.
With all the success and pleasant- j
n - - in our schools there are some
things that may be improved upon by
a little airing and criticisms. e
have the p rsuiial observation and
inf mnation desired and will take up;
the cudgel in a week or »0 and if
nobody is bit, why nobody will be
kurt.
The State Colored Normal School.
FavettevL.i.k, N. e., June 4.
A large crowd, gathorod at the
school-room to witness the exhibition
of the students of the '-preparatory
department, Tuesday evening. The
programme was excellently rendered,
and the audience gave frequent evi
dences of its approval by continued
applause. We wish wo had the time
to give the readers the entire pro
gramme, hut as opportunity will not
permit us, we only give a sketch of
the proceedings of the afternoon.
The declamation of Mr. G. A. P.
Wilkerson was particularly noticeable.
The literary exercises, Wednesday
evening, Juue Ist, was an interesting
affair, and those of us who were for
tunate enough to be present will not
soon forget it. The programme was
not very lengthy, consequently we
will give full description of the even
ing’s entertainment: The declama
tion, “A Common School Education,”
by Master English Gee was excellent.
The recitation, “Liking and Dislik
ing,” by Miss Martha Bryant also was
good. Declamation, “Influence of
Devotion,” by Mr. J. A. McLeod,
wgs simply grand ; the gentleman
spoke vividly and to the point.
The literary address by Prof. G. 11.
Williams was excellent We need
not add very much to this address,
for the very name of the Professor
tells us that out of his mouth came
forth rich words to the society and
visitors. Ho dwelt at length upon
the “Historical and Literary” features
of our race in an oratorical manner.
The singing, which is always good,
was particularly fine throughout the
evening. The closing piece was a
dialogue by Miss Winnie Smith and
others. The “Tramps” was well ex
ecuted, while Bridget, (Miss Lizzie
McNeill) acted her part well—by
showing the tramps the way into the
street.
Among the visitors to the Com
mencement exercises we mention the
following: Mr. A. A. Smith, of
Goldsboro, N C , graduate of the
class of ’BO ; Miss R. J. Capps, of
Dudley, N. C.; Mr. Sam Hill, editor
Capo Fear Advocate; Mrs. E. J. Saw
yer, of Bennettsville, S. C.; and Miss
Hattie E. Marshall, of Charleston.
M iss Marshall is a teacher in the
graded school at Bennettsville.
Miss Maggie Hood and Master
Augustus Hill have returned from
Livingstone College, to spend their
summer vacation at home with parents
and friends. Quite a pleasant little
social was given at the residence of
Bishop J. W. Hood, D.D., on Thurs
day evening of the 2d, which was en
joyed by all present. The social was
given complimentary to Miss G. C.
Hood. On Friday Miss Hood parted
with relatives and friends to join the
gay society of Boston, Mass. We
will miss her in our Sunday-school,
from our social circles, and other
places of amusement, hut we gave
her the friendly shake, hoping that
she will gain friends wherever she
goes, and other blessings be bestowed
upon her.
The little juvenile class of Evan’s
Chapel Sunday-school meets every
Thursday evening at 4 o’clock. We
have enrolled 174, or more, and the
exrrcises are interesting at all times.
Mary E. Webb is the organist, a lit
tle Miss of 12 or 13 summers. The
exercises are conducted by the pastor, ;
RcV. J. M. Hill.
Marv McLean.
Special Offer.
Any student of Biddle, Scotia,
Livingstone or the Fayetteville
Normal wanting the Messenger dur
ing the summer may have it four
months-from June Ist toOetobcr Ist—
for thirty-five cents. All will want
it, now let all take it. These columns
will he open to all and we especially
! solicit communications from the
students.
We congratulate the good people
of this city on the held and manly
, fight for prohibition. Especially do
we congratulate the colored citizens
for their part in the fight. The
prohibitionists reduced the majority
of 420 of one year ago to 40—a gain
of 310 of which 245 was in the two
colored wards while the white wards
■gained 144. We all know where the
fault is and hope in the next two
years to get rid of the devil aud
his chief engineers.
Marriage iu the East.
Tarboro, May 27th.
Our lovely little city was all agog
Wednesday evening. Miss Mattie
Roberts aud Mr. A. L. Bluuford were
1 united in matrimony nt the A. M. K.
Z. Church in the preseuco of a crowd
ed house of friends and spectators.
Rev J. S. Henderson, pastor, perform
ed the interesting ceremony assisted
by Rev. J. H. Manley. Miss Lola
Howard, a very beautiful young lady
served as first bridesmaid with E. L
Thornton who acted as best man to
the groom. The remaining couples
served in the following order: Miss
Eliza Andrews and Mr. L. W. Exurn,
Miss Florence Caiu and Mr. M. G.
Pittman, Miss Penny Newton and Mr.
W. 11. Hines, Miss Bettie Chapman
and Mr. J. L. Faithful. Beauty,
grace, taste and culture were manifest
all along the line of the wedding
party.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel Roberts, two very re
putable citizens of this aristocratic
and historic old town. She has many
amiable qualities of mind and heart
and is loved by the entire unanimous
community. The groom, Mr. Albert
L. Blueford, is an A. B. from Lincoln
and Principal of the Union High
School in this place. He is a young
man of very decided parts, able,
scholarly, aspiring but religious and
grave. May God sanction this union
between them and lighten their path
way through life with the flowers of
Nature, the music of brooks, the
carol of birds and the thrilling and
d licious applause of approving friends
After the marriage ceremony the
bridal party repaired to the r sidence
of the bride’s parents and there passed
several hours very delightfully away.
Last night came the reception. It
was indeed “a feast of reason and a
flow of soul.” Sir LOS.
Tribute of Respect.
The Goldsmith Literary Society met
iu its regular session on June 7th, aud
after the usual devotional exercises,
the following resolutions were adopt
ed upon the recommendation of the
committee on resolutions :
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God in his wise providence to call from
our midst to his reward from labor,
one of our dear brothers, Wm. M,
Phifer, who departed this life on the
29th of May, 1887, and as our brother
was iu the 18th year of his ago, leav
ing relatives to mourn his loss, there
fore.
Resolved, That this society freely
bow to the will of him, who cannot
mistake, and does not err, being in
deep sympathy with his relatives, Sun
day school and church.
Resolved further, That this soci
ety ever hold the name of our brother,
sacred in its memory, aud that thes
resolutions he published in the “Char
lotte Messenger” and a copy of the
same he transmitted to his father and
mother. F. E. Moselv,

Last Week’s Paper.
We feel called upon to apologize
to our readers for the non-appearauce
of last weeks paper. The delay was
caused by our absence. If our sub
scribers were more prompt in making
payments we would have fewer such
delays, as bad pay is at the bottom
of all of them. The paper will not be
issued next week, as we arc away
from home attending school closings
and trying to collect and widen our
circulation.
Miss Laura A Ilall one of the
graduates of the Normal school at j
Fayetteville was absent only one day
in four years and that on occasion of
j death. She was tardy twico in the
1 same time.
