It is reported that Rev. W. E.

Hon. W. P. Mabson and Rev. C.
C. Pettey will address the people of
this city to-day at the court house on
the California Colonization scheme, i
They are intelligent, well educated <
gentlemen, both natives of this State i
and have traveled and spoken in sev- i
eral counties. They are very highly 1
spoken of by the press. Go out. and I
hear them. i
To Business Men.
Wc call the attention of the busi
ness nieu of this city to the value of
the M essexger as an advertising me- '
dium. There are about 5,000 colored
people in this city, and nearly all of
them are to some extent influenced by '
this paper. Will it not pay you to
ask for a share of their patronage
through their own organ ? The colored
people spend not less than §3,000
a week here for clothing, groceries,
Ac., and their trade is principally
cesh. The Messenger advises and '
urges its readers to patronize the .
stores that advertise with us. Several 1
of our best houses have found it ex- '
pedient to keep their advertisement '
in onr columns.
Tiie Messenger reaches a large '
class of people wh ; spe id n ch money J
that cannot be reached by any other
paper in the city. Is not this worth j
your consideration ? Our rates are
very low, and it will certainly pay ■
you to advertise in the Messenger.
Wc have a good circulation in the
city and county, as well as all the 1
neighboring towns.
Our policy and polities are not di
rected to suit the business men, but
our readers. If our polities were (
anything than what they are wc would ]
have no readers. Business men want ,
to reach the public, they care not by , <
what source. Advertise in the Mes
senger. ts |
Voting for Pfeaeliers.
Two weeks ago Grace church mem- .
bers were called to meet their dele
gate to the District Conference, anil \
signify to him their wishes as to pas- j
tor for the next Conference year. |
Dr. J. T. Williams, the delegate, was
present, and noted an unanimous vote
for the return of Rev. R. 11. Stitt.
Presiding Elder Rives’ administration
was unanimously approved, the church
being satisfied with his administration.
Clinton Chapel voted on last Sun
day night for the return of Rev. M.
.Slade, hut refused to endorse Elder
Rives’ administration. The church
voted for Elder J. A. Tyler for Pre- !
siding Elder.
Thore seems to be a mistaken idea
with some of our people concerning
the presiding elders as well calling |
pastors. Wo understand that the pre- j
siding ciders will rotate as our Bisli- j
ops do, from one district to another. ,
It is uot supposed that Elder Rives j
will return to this district, hut will be I
followed by Elder Tyler, or neither
may be sent here, for they may not be
presiding elders next year. As a
mark of respect to Elder Rives, itw
expected the churches would approve
his course by a complimentary vole, I
Let that he as it may, loyal people j
and loyal churches arc going to re
ceive whoever is sent to preside over
them, and pay as much of the salary ;
due them as |>oseible to raise.
\Ve are Coming.
We make the following appoint
ments and hope our subscribers will
be ready to meet us at each place.
We arc much in need of money :
Lauritiburg, October 10th.
Rockingham, October 11th
Salisbury, October 14th.
Concord, October 15th.
We will try to visit Elizabethtown,
j Clarkton, and other poiuts in Bladen
I county the last week in this month.
: Please be ready with the money for 1
us. „
Our Doctor.
Dr. Jno. T. Williams, our popular
physician, is no longer the room
mate of the editor, lie left here on
Wednesday morning for Raloijh,
where lie was married on Thursday
afternoon to Miss Mary E. Killian,
one of Raleigh’s best favored daugh
ters. He arrived home with his bride
yesterday morning, and was given a
reception last night at Mrs. Bratton’s,
by the l>oquet Social Club, where
Mrs. Williams was given a cordial
welcome to onr city. They have our ;
hearty congratulations and best wishes j
for a long, prosperous and happy life. j
The Winnona Literary Circle will en- j
tertain the doctor and bride next j
Tuesday night at Mr. J. E. ltattly.
Let us’llave Peace.
Last winter much was said by the
church people of this city that refleet
ed no credit upon anyone. Many un
necessary and hurtful things were said
and many questions discussed, but it
has been finally decided that the course
taken by each side was right, except
the talking, and injthat, all were wrong.
Now that peace has reigned among
ns so long it is earnestly hoped that
there is now religion, love and charity
enough in professing Christians to take
t all to God in player.
There are wicked, unreliable, un
principled men, profaning on the
street corners, endeavoring to raise
strife among the brethren. We al 1
know these thing call do none of us
any good, then why give them our
attention and talk alter them? When
we all know a man is believed by no
one, and that he is a common liar,
why trouble your brother by repeat
ing that man’s words? O, how pleas
ant it is for brethren to dwell together
in unity.
Then we would urge upon the im
portance of peace. Death is sum.
moning some one home eve-y day.
Can we be prepared to meet God in
peace if we are not in peace with our
brethren? The time for strife lias
passed and we ought all to live in
peace and brotherly love. Christjans
cannot prove their religion by talk
ing, but they must live in love with
the brethren and in the fear of God.
Boston Courier: Miss De Peyton—
Yes, I admit De Smith’s questions are
very amusing, hut they are not quite
fitted for our circle. His saws usually
have reference to common poeple Mr.
Jones —Oh, I see. His saws are not
of your set.

earlier stages of the disease. From its mar- |
velous power over this terribly fatal disease,
when first offering this now world-famed rem

of calling it his “Consumption Cure,” but
abandoned that name as too restrictive for
a medicine which, from its wonderful com
bination of tonic, or strengthening, alterative,

nutritive properties, is unequaled, not onlv
aa a remedy for Consumption, but for all
