President Cleveland bas consented to visit Atlanta, Ga., about the 14th of October. Georgia has new cotton in market, and the first bale was sold on the 4th for 23 cents per ponnd at Albany, Ga. It is very sad to learn of the death of Bishop Shorter, of the A. M. E Ch»rch. He died last Saturday. Zinn Church in Salisbury reports childrens day money. This is rather ahead of any yet heard from. They made special efforts. The scare of Negroes rising in parts of South Carolina has subsided. It has been decided that somebody was mistaken and there was no real danger after all the fuss. Rev. R. 11. Stitt will be out of the city tomorrow and the pulpit in (iraec Chureh will be filled by Rev. Collett in the morning and Rev. J. E. McNeill at night. V colored! woman named Ann Gant was committed to jail last Monday* in j default of a twenty dollar fiue* for disturbing services in Union Baptist Church at Sugar Creek. One of the entertainments given last Monday night was by the Knights of Labor. It was in Oaitber’s building on College street, and proved a success under the skillful management of the new master workman,fll B Kennedy We think it right to encourage; worthy enterprises, and for that reason we readily make public laudable ef forts by the weaker churches to help support their connectional institution 1 * of learning. We feel highly complimented by j the North Statr, the leading Repub lican paper in the State* to find in this week's issue, one of our editorials of nearly a column copied in full Workmen began preparing th« ground for the Young men’s Christian Association building, last Wedues-1 day, in front of the postoCce. 11l is to be a handsome three story brick j building.

We no longer fear a drougth. bat hope to rvalue ! the most abundant harvests lor many \ years past. The good time coming i is not far off. The mortuary report for Jane shows that there were 31* deaths in the eity; 19 whites and 19 colored. | Cholera infantum cawing most of the j deaths. There were 11 white aad 11 j colored children died (from this eom- I plaint. Our subscribers at Statesville and several small o*ees were aegleeted last week, as our papers gave out on account of some mistake in printing. Such blunders are very provoking, i but cant be avoided sometimes. The African Repository for July is 1 on our table. It contains much valuable informatiow of Africa aad | its people. It speaks of the safe j arrival of Mr. Peter Iksbcmc and party from tkis city They are all j well pleased with the country. A copy of the Star of Zivm was carried aronnd the streets last Friday and Saturday till it was about worn out. The result Eras we received more new subscribers than any week tkis year. The glorious 4th was not forgotten ‘ by the colored people of the eonnty. The streets were thronged last Mon day with men, women and children from early morn till snndown. They were very orderly, thongh the cake- | shops and dram-shops were well pat- | ronired. ReT. J, W. Stitt requests ns to | state that Torrence Chapel will give an | entertainment on the 26A aad 27th ins!., for the benefit of the ehaieh. I Prof. S. G. Atkins will he present! and deliver an address.

Good order was had at all the festivals; ouly some of the country beaux took a little too good care of their lovers. The Oriole Literary Cirele will racer at Miss Rlira floasers next Tuesday I night .

Chateh the school at Asheville recently under the control of Prof. Suggs According to the telegram to the ('tnnid it was “a committee of re spectable eitiiens" that brought about so much death aad bloodshed in Louisiana last week The prime cause of these trembles is with these newspapers aad correspondents that always encourage "’lynching.” A dozen white men saw a colored man punish two white men above Greens boro the other day for insaltiug a lady. and they failed to interfere A Cimmi tlt reporter attempts to raise a row by publishing, “he will be lynched if caught. ” The concert at Grace Chareh on Thursday night was a decided suc cess TVcy kad a good programme and well carried ont.

NnrfUk Mission Singers. We were shown a picture of the Norfolk Mission Singers, one day this week, sent to a friend and admirer of a member of the group. The troupe is in charge of Prof. R. H. Hamilton, a teacher in the Norfolk Mission School, formerly of the Hampton School. They are now in northern New York, meeting with much suc cess. Prof. Hamilton is a great favo rite in parts of North Carolina, and married in Raleigh. Miss Mary Kil lian, of Raleigh, ig the leading soprano singer, and, we learn, has at least one very ardent admirer in this city. The troupe is composed of ten, and is sing ing to raise funds for the school. Personals. Mrs. Mary Washington left the city last, Monday to spend the summer with relatives in Rutherfordton.

'OC Miss Sallie Hall leaves today for Matthews to spend some time with Miss. Elisa Grier. Mamie Kelley goes also. Ewduraaoe of Hociety People. A prominent society lady of Wash ington being asked by the Prince of Wales. “Why ia it you people here manifest so little fatigue from danc ing. receptions, etc.?” replied, “Why, yon tee, we Americans regain the viliality wasted in these dissipations by using Dr. Harter’a Iron Tonic.” A Sad Death. On last Monday a fatal accident occurred at the Point mine, near Bid dle University, in which Mr Richard Caldwell, a well-known oitizen was instantly killed, and a white man mortally wounded. They were both down in the shaft when the bucket, which was loaded with dirt, slipped and fell back with the above result. Mr. Caldwell was buried on Tuesday afternoon from Ebenczar Baptist Church. Several things make it ap pear that Mr. Caldwell had a present ment of his death That day before leaving for his work he bade his wife good-bye in a manner that alarmed her. He told one of his neighbors ho would never return. He then went to Rev. Haughton and requested that his name be gotten from the First Baptist Church and put on the same book with his wife, and made other final arrangements. He was a prominent member of the Good Samaritan order, and bis funeral was largely attended by them. He leaves a wife, but no children. He was a hard-working man, and well thought of. Salisbury Scintillations. The Salisbury water works are nearing completion, and very soon the water will bo turned on through the main pipes, as the stand pipe will not completed for some time. That day is looked forward to with inexpressible joy by all. The lawn party given by the Church street Presbyterian church, at the residenoe of the pastor, Rev. W. If. Bryant, waß largely attended and well enjoyed. The church realized a neat little sum, the party being in every particular a success. Miss Stella Bailey, of Asheville, Miss Mattie Meroney and Mrs. S. B. Henderson deserve special mention for their very valuable services. The church is pro gressing. The announced celebration of the “glorious 4th” here by the whites was an entire failure. The patriotic fire which once fired the bosoms of the Southern people and caused them to close their places of business to listen to the eloquent and fiery speeches of their distinguished leaders has almost burned out. While, as a rule, the Negro is an imitator of the superior race, as they are the most intelligent, yet I hope wc will never go to the extent that we will neglect to hold in sacred and lasting remembrance the day on which the shackles of four million slaves were broken, and they made to stand in the glorious light of liberty. Nor will we forget on the 30th of May to cast a flower, a bud, if no more, to beautify and keep green and fresh the graves of those noble heroes who fought, bled and died to preserve this Union, and in the language of the poet wc would say, “Nor shall their glory be forgot. While fame her record keeps, Or honor (mints the hallowed spot, Where valor proudly sleeps.” Occasionally. Wilmington News. Our town is on a boom at this sea son. Excursions to the Carolina beach and entertainments seem to be the general amusements. Miss Ida Evans has returned home after a few weeks recreation in the Palmetto State. Another young man’s loss of appe tite will be restored—not with “iron bitters” this time, but with Miss Ida’s sweet smiles. The 4th of July was a day that marked a new epoch in the history of North Carolina’s metropolis.— Much to the surprise of our people posters were scattered over the city on Saturday, notifying the public that there would be a celebration and tem perance juhilec at the Congregational church on Monday at 3 P. M., and at Shiloh Baptist Church at 8 P. M., under the auspices of the Temperance Brotherhood. Public curiosity was so much aroused about this new move ment that the churches in which these exercises were held were filled beyond their seating capacity, both afternoon and night. The exercises were supe rior to any of the kind that we have ever witnessed. The music, by the Harmony Quartette, was very enthus ing, indeed. The Temperance work ers made an impression upon the minds of our people that will not die aoou, but the influence mado last Monday will continue to spread until the Brotherhood will succeed in car rying the “metropolis of the old North Slate” for prohibition—with the aid of our best people, both white and colored. The young people of St. Stephen’s A. M. E. Suuday-school held a grand celebration at night. They had a brilliant display of fire-works, etc. The tables were laden with many good things to refresh the innerman, and presided over by a select committee of young ladies and gentlemen. The mechanics of our city seem to be busily engaged in the construction of fine mansions in different portions of our city. ; The people of Wilmington are be ing favorably impressed with the con tents of the Messenger. Circumstances over which we have no control have prevented us from making an active canvass as yet, but we expect to do all we can in the future to have it largely disseminated among our peo ple. Cape Fear. Clinton Chapel Sunday School. Editor Messenger. Dear Sir. — On Sunday, June 26”, 1887, the childrens day services was held at Clinton Chapel as was announced some time since. The object was to raise funds for Educational purposes. The programme for the day was carri ed out to perfection, after which the collection was called for, which was certainly a poor one for a sunday school having the honors conferred upon it as being the largest and best (colored) Sunday school in the state, or in Zion connection. The amount raised during the day was $25.15. Other Sunday schools will see at once that we are far behind our last years rally, which was something over fifty dollars. The money could have been raised if our superintendent, had encouraged the school, instead of stating that he was opposed to such as donating money for the benefit of “Livingstone College.” General Con ference has set apart one day in each year to be known as Childrens day for the purpose of raising money to help push forward that grand and noble Institution, (situated at Salisbury, N. C.) known as Livingstone College. But “G,” has taken it upon himself to change this part of the constitution by adding two or more Sundays in each year, or at least this year for Childrens day. It’s a pity that “G” was not able to be at General Confer ence during the time the Laws gover ing the Church and Sunday schools was being made, as it seems that the present “constitution” don’t just suit him. This charge had to be made in order to compete with our Ex- Superintcndcnt Haglcr. Thats right, “G,” whenever you see the laws of Zion connection is not just what you would have them be, you just change them. There is no one to hinder yon. Childrens day services will be repeated at Clinton Chapel again soon, We arc not able to name the time just now. But each one will have due notice. J. C. Cunningham. Charlotte, N. C. July 6 1887.
