There were a number of preachers in town last Tuesday, returning from the conference at Concord If you get a cross mark please come and settle at once. We can’t send the paper without money. Work was resumed on Grace Church last Tuesday and with favorable weath er the frame will go up next week. Thanksgiving day was generally observed by the business houses and Churches of our city on Thursday. The festival on Thursday and Fri day nights was profitable to the parties : managing it. It was well patronized. The Charlotte Light Infantry were out to the festival on Thursday night. They have uniforms and make a good show. Rev. Frank Perry will sail with his wife next week for Liberia. He is a graduate of Biddle and goes as a missionary. Thanksgiving day was beautiful and clear and the signal officers pre diction of rain and snow did not hold good. . That was a terrible disaster from the collision of ocean steamers in which one hundred and forty persons perished in the waves. Rev. Dr. Petty will leave for Cali fornia on the first of December. Par ties contemplating the trip will do well to sec him before he leaves. The Neptune fire company paraded ike streets on Thursday and gave a festival at night in Carsons Hall. They were joined by the Monroe fire men. We intend to stop sending this pa per to persons who do not pay for it. If you get a cross mark, come and set tle or send in; we ean't get along without money. We will go east on the Carolina Central road next week and hope to find all subscribers prepared to pay up. *We will try to reach Elizabethtown the following week. Rev ,M. Slade is returned to Clin ton Chapel. Rev. A. A. Williams, P. J. lloliucs, J. S. Caldwell and H. W. Richardson are among the new ministers sent nronnd this city.

It is hoped that ail will turn out well with all the Churches and ministers. Rev R. 11. Stitt has one other Church besides Grace this year. It is Little Hogp Church, about a mile be yond the fair ground. Ilis people arc well pleased with his work as it will not'materially change his services with them. We were disappointed in publish ing the proceedings of the S. C. con ference as they failed to reach us.

I like the tone of the Mkssexokr, and think Mr. Smith is doing a good work for his people. I regret that ho seems to get so little help from his colored friends, and not even notice or encouragement from the whites It is rare that the colored raco"gcts a word of sound advice or even thought from those in official position. Colored folks are simply allowed to drift along until gobbled up for some crime, an officers fee, a trifling mis take. Then, Oh ! me ! what a fuss ; and hence the papers talk ! Please publish this scrap and oblige a Caucasian. A Word to Colored Parents. From the Winston Republican we copy the following timely words of Hon. John A. Giliner and commend them to the careful perusal of all our colored readers : “Judge John A. Gilmer, in sen tencing two colored lads during Su perior court last week, made a very practical address to the race, and es pecially the parents. “His honor stated that during his term of office he was forcibly impressed with the number of individuals arrest ed for larceny and other transgressions | of the law and that two-thirds of those arraigned were young colored men be tween the ages of fifteen and twenty five. “He further stated his observations evinced a deplorable picture for the race unless some steps were taken to remedy the growing evil, and attrib uted the fault to a great extent, to careless parental training, and admon ished his colored hearers that the foundation of all true citizenship, and respect for the la v, was the family fireside, and urged the parents to be more careful in homo dieipline, keep their children from off the streets, and out of bad company, and educate them as their opportunities afforded and this would be an important step to wards elevating the social and moral condition of the race.’’ To all Whom it May Concern. This is to certify, that T will leave j Charlotte December Ist for California, j 1 wish to say to all of my friends who j anticipate going West, that if they ! will follow me on that occasion, that I will be able to put them over for nearly ten dollars less than any one else, and aside from that secure them good homes, either as servants, or on their own homesteads —one hundred and sixty acres each, free. I will he able to put you off’ at any point in the State, from Losangeles northward to i San Francisco, Stockton, Sacramento, i San Jose, KlPasso, Deßobles, Red 1 Hluff, Anderson and Reding. And since I am responsible for the Califor i nia excitement, l would like to have a talk with all parties going, before they leave, whether they go with me or not, as I know the country and can help there as well as here, and I here by warn all parties that if they go without first consulting me, and fail, lam not responsible, and many will fail if they go without my advise. I can place cooks and waiters in position! there at from S3O to SIOO per month, which positions they cannot get with out good reference from some one in California; and for lands, no colored man will succeed in securing free lands without my assistance, without spend ing one or two hundred dollars. lam general manager of all said lands for the colored people, appointed by the State Board of the State Immigration Association. Hon. Author R. Briggs, President, Mr. C. IT. Street, Secretary of the Board; so I am here by the highest authority, to offer terms, etc. Any one doubting this statement will please address said officers, No. 10 California Street, Sanfrancisco, Cali fornia. All who go with me Decem ber Ist, will get special rates and special accommodations through. Please see me, it matters not what others may say to you or promise you, I will do still better; I am not a rail road agent, hut I have the interest of uiy people at heart. All going will please call one day at least before leaving. Most truly yours, in the interest of my race. C. C. Pettev. Charlotte, N. C. Nov. 25, 1887. TO THE PREACHERS.

Do you feel dull, languid, low-spirited, life less, and indescribably miserable, both physi cally and mentally; experience a sense of fullness or bloating after eating, or of “gone ness," or emptiness of stomach in the morn ing, tongue coated, bitter or bad taste in mouth, irregular appetite, dizziness, frequent headaches, blurred eyesight, “floating specks’* before the eyes, nervous prostration or ex haustion, irritability of temper, hot flushes, alternating with chilly sensations, sharp, biting, transient pains here and there, cofo feet, drowsiness after meals, wakefulness, or disturbed and unrefreshing sleep, constant, indescribable feeling of dread, or of impend ing calamity ? If you have all, or any considerable number of these symptoms, you are suffering from that most common of American maladies— Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver, associated with Dyspepsia, or Indigestion. The more complicated your disease has become, the greater the number and diversity of symp toms. No matter what stage it has reached, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Itledlcal Discovery will subdue if, if taken according to direc tions for a reasonable length of time. If not cured, complications multiply and Consump tion of the Lungs, Skin Diseases, Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave maladies are quite liable to set in and, sooner or later, Induce a fatal termination. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Ttledicnl Dis covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and through that great blood-purifying organ, cleanses the system of oil blood-taints and im purities, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in acting upon the Kid neys, and other excretory organs, cleansing, strengthening, and healing their diseases. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promotes digestion and nutrition, thereby building up both flesh and strength. In malarial districts, this wonderful medicine has gained great celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases. Dr. Pierce’s Golden medical Dis covery CURES ALL HUMORS, from a common Blotch, or Eruption, to the worst Scrofula. Salt-rheum, “Fever-sores," Scaly or Rough Skin, in short, ail diseases caused by bad blood are conquered by this powerful, purifying, and invigorating medi cine. Great Eating Ulcers rapidly heal under its lienign influence. Especially has it mani fested its potency in curing Tetter, Eczema, Erysipelas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Scrof ulous Sores and Swellings, Hip-joint Disease, “White Swellings," Goitre, or Thick Neck, and Enlarged Glands. Send ten cents in stamps for a large Treatise, with colored plates, on Skin Diseases, or the same amount for a Treatise on Scrofulous Affections. “FOR THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE. M Thoroughly cleanse it by using Dr. Pierce’s Golden medical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength and bodily health will be established. CONSUMPTION, which is Scrofula of the Lungs, is arrested and cured by this remedy, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease. From its mar velous power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now world-lamed rem edy to the public. Dr. Pierce thought seriously of calling it his “Consumption Cure,” but aba rule me<l that name as too restrictive for a medieine which, from its wonderful com bination of tonic, or strengthening, alterative, or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, pectoral, and nutritive properties, is unequaled, not only as a remedy for Consumption, but for all Chronic Diseases of the Liver, Blood, and Lungs. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Short ness of Breath, Chronic Nasal Catarrh, Bron chitis, Asthma, Severe Coughs, and kindred affections, it is an efficient remedy.
