We cannot continue 1 to scud it to you without some money. Please pay up and let us continue it to you. "LocLaXi. Rev. Mr. Cbresfield was in the city I Thursday. James Foster left for Birmingham j on Thursday. Go and register. The books will j close next Thursday. Presiding Elder Rives will conduct services at Grace church to-morrow, as it is quarterly meeting day. Nancy stirred things pretty lively last week. She writes again for this [ week and will continue while we are j traveling. In the death of Alderman V. Q. Johnson, our city loses a worthy and ] useful citizen and officer. He died suddenly of heart disease while on a j visit to Liucolnton. In selecting the jury to try Green j last week, it was clearly shown that j there are some white men in this coon- I ty who own no land The general expression on the! streets is, Green was guilty, but there \ was not sufficient evidence produced j in court to convict him. Some of our friends asked to havej this paper sent them saying they i would send the money in a few days. Don’t forget your promise, or we will stop the paper if fail to hear from you. Mr. W. H. Sumner, chairman, will accept our thanks for an invitatiou to ; attend the entertainment of the Hes perian Social Club of Raleigh, on the 26th. It is a neat invitation with good programme of exercises, on i which we notice Misses Jane Thomas. Mary Jones, Mrs. J. E. Hamlin, Messrs. K. A. Johnson, E. H. Hun ter. and X. L. Jeffries. For some cause or other the Fire man that should have reached ns on the 9th was just eight days late, hence our information concerning the change was second hand. The change will result in good to the Republican party of New York and the new manage ment will make the Age as. good as the Freeman, for they will have Tim Fortune’s assistance. It onght to be read by every colored man in the country. The Mkssbsokr has increased its circulation about one hundred in the lust three weeks. If the friends will continue to work for ns, we will give them the best paper in the State. A good paid ap list is all we want to make the pap -r what everybody wants. The three capital cases in the crimi nal court turned out this way: Drier and Jordan not guilty; J. 1- Grccn burglary, not guilty; Sam IM/cry murder, guilty, one year on chain gang. Tli truth hurts—in fact it is said the truth kills. The “Mess” was advertised in a new quarter last Sunday It was not thought that that little paragraph would hurt so as to cause men to combine their wits to attack a man in his absence and in a public gathering. Only one elass of imoi will he guilty of such a thing. Hegi»t( r, register and vote for the bonds and save our grafted schools aid avoid taxes Brethren, Let us Praj. Wc regret to hear that some of the brethren have allowed their prejudices to ruu away with their better judg- | meut so far as to cause them to use | the name of this paper and its editor in a large meeting in order to try to injure us. If those good brethren j will take a sober thought of what they I complain and give a little more time to prayer they may succeed in doing j themselves some good. The editor of | this paper is anxious to live a better life uud must he be tormented by the i leaders of a Christian church? Will | these men serve as h—l hounds of the d—l, or will they show themselves Christian gentlemen? We make mis- ; takes and we pray God to forgive our sins and we do forgive even these brethren, for they know not what they J do. We are assisted in the getting up of news for the paper, while we are travel- i ing, though iu •‘Town Talk,” last week, were some of our own sentences. ] j What was said in it concerning the concert, and everything else, was true, | or the parties themselves lie, and we -j are not responsible for it. If we do ! [ any one a wrong we are always anx- : ious to make amends for it, aud if wc have harmed one of these brethren we | pray God to forgive us, for we did not do it intentionally * We have no apologies to make, for we know of no j wroug. The Charlotte “Mess.” has j tried to steer elcar of breakers in Clin ; ton Chapel, for in that church are some j of our best friends, male and female. The parties who tried ou l:>st Sunday afternoon in our absence, to publicly dcnounce and burlesque us for no cause, did ns, as well as themselves a wrong We say to them, pray more. | Learn to love the brethren, for if you i say you love God, yet hate us, your j brother, you arc a liar—-says the Word, | and the truth is not in you. So we j say again, “brethren, let us pray.” Have you registered ? Go and do so jat once. A new registration is re | quired in all the wards Concord anil Salisbury. It was onr pleasure to spend two ' days of this week in each of the above ' towns. A few words must suffice, though we would like to say much of these places. In Concord we found : the town undergoing material im • provements. A new eotton factory is being built and still another is talked | of. Rev. Rollins is preparing bis j church aud people for the annual con ference. His church is beautifully tainted aud ready for the seats which he was looking for this week; he has ; ordered a handsome pulpit set, carpets, ! etc., and iu a few days will have one 1 of the best furnished brick ehurehes iu the conference. Scotia Seminary is well attended, having over a hundred borders already. There has been some changes in the teachers: Misses Cbresfield, Reese and Goodfellow arc out. Misses Barties and Pegram are added to the roll of teach ers. Rev. W. E. Partee is preparing to go to Florida in November. Mr. J. E. Johnston lias sold out his barber shop, and is preparing to go to .Cali fornia. Mrs. J. W. Houser is run ning the grocery store and will con tinue the boarding house. There are several other respectable groceries ran by colored men; W. C. Coleman, J. Wallace and G. V. Montgomery. On reaching Salisbury the first place wc stopped was ihc popular store of W. E. and L. R Henderson. Here we discovered changes. A neat little stall is added, where fresh meats are sold, while upstairs, coffee aud lunches are served. The grocery business doesn’t suffer at all. Mr. George Murphy, the old hotel man, has moved on the main street leading from the depot, and has much more room than hc.had before. C. E. Barber seems to be doing well in his new store. He lias a full stock of groceries and a good house—all his own. The State Normal school is moving on nicely, prof. J. O. Crosby is principal, J. F. K. Sitnpson and Miss Fannie L. Rridgers, assistants. The attendance is much better Ilian usual, and the school bids fair prosper. Mrs. J. O. Crosby is very pleasant, and seems to he settling down to house-keeping. Livingstone College is still improv ing. Mrs. Grace Waddy, the new matron, is very pleasant, and will give satisfaction to all. Paof. Skinner takes Prof. Noble’s place, and is a very fine scholar and good teacher. Mr. C. Blackwell, a skilled | mechanic takes charge of the work shops. Prof. AV. A. Sinclair and wife arc the latest additions to the faculty. I>r. Sinclair is a graduate from How ard University, Andover Theological Seminary and the medical department of Tennessee Central College. He takes charge of the theological depart ment. Mrs. Sinclair is from the Con servatory of Music of Fisk, she is also an experienced trainer of the youth. She will take charge of the primary department. It is said that she is a very fine musician and will add much life to the college. The Industrial building is about completed. It is a large three story brick building. The attendance up to this week is about 125 students. Many of the old students are to come in yet and a number of new ones have made appli cation. Livingston is njaving omvard and upward. Town Talk. HEARD lIY NANCY. Iu order to help you along with your local items, this writing was begun. Hoping you will not be held respousiblc for all that is thought and said around town, I will continue to write while you accept. The editor was personally attacked in Clinton Chapel S S. last Sunday by the superintendent and roundly abused. Os course he knew the edi tor was not there. The Presbyterian Church is soon to be repainted and the members say this is a good time for it, though it may cause some otic to do without a new dress. Several of the young ladies would like to go to the Raleigh fair but the teachers can’t afford to lose the time and get new dresses besides, while others who have the time say they are short of funds just now. Some of the girls were very uneasy about the editor last Sunday, for it seemed that some one was determined to whip him. The girls don’t want the editor to get hurt, if he is not much of an editor, ho is the only one we ever had here. Wc are all glad to see the editor is meeting with such good success through the country. We believe he is determined to give us a good paper, even if it is a “patent back concern.” Somebody thinks it would boa good plan to get up a large party for j the colored fair next week from this city. Rev. R. 11. Stitt looked first elass j in his new suit last Sunday This is J the time all the preachers wear new j suits. Guess Rev. Wycho’s people have not forgotten him, as his Synod I meets in two weeks. Our graded school teachers are j overburdened, yet the training of some of the children at home causes j the teachers to have trouble with I them. The young man who refused to help bury a lady because somebody j else said not, must have been found as some one seems worried about it. No one hit, no one hurt, young man. A passenger and a freight train ran together on the Airline road near Greenville, S. C., Thursday morning, i and 4or 5 persons were killed and [ several wounded. Men who oppose issuing the bonds oppose the graded schools and vote for higher taxes. Register. John I. Green’s Trial. The trial of John I. Green the white ! man from Sumter, S. C., in the crim- j nal court last week, was the most interesting for several years. He was charged, with burglary, which is a capital offence in North Carolina After hearing the evidence, the argu-1 incut and the judge’s charge, the jury \ retired and were out about 30 min utes when thoy'relurned with a ver dict of “not guilty.” The young man was defended by the Attorney General of South Carolina, our Su perior court solicitor, the United States solicitor for this district and others, i He was prosecuted liy the solicitor of the erimnal court, Air. Geo. E. Wil son . We have only this to say: We think severnl colored tnen have been convicted and hung in this county on less evidence. We are not in a spirit to comment just now. Tho following fftini the Chronicle will give most of the cvidonce against Green: “Solicitor Wilson opened tho case by making a few remarks to the jurors. Ho said, in substance: “The testimony will be of a circumstantial nature, and I deem it necessary that you should have my views. I expect to prove to you that on the 22d of August 1887, the house of Mr. AY. J. Yates was entered; that before the family retired to rest, the house was securely fastened; that after that time the house was entered through a hack window, and that a five dollar note, a watch and gold badge, and other articles of personal property were taken. That ou Wed nesday night of tho said week, between the time of 12 and 1 o’clock, the prisoner was seen in possession of this property; that the prisoner had been seen near the residence of Mr! Yates; that he was in an impecunious condition; that ho was seem with a five dollar bill, that the watch was delivered to the clerk of the Buford House in pawn for a hoard bill; that tho pin was found in his possession; that he evaded the search of tho officers of the law; that prior to tho burglary, the prisoner sent around to borrow a pistol; that he had a mask and a burg lars’ cord, of these and other circum stances taken in connection with the statement he made, the State of North Carolina will ask a verdict at your hands.” C~ APE FEAR AND YADKIN VALLEY RAIL WA Y COMPANY.
