Rockingham, X. C., is the Supreme
Governor of the Universal Brother
hood of North Carolina.
If you would keep up with times, you
should take this paper, read it. write
for if. and help make a good history
for your race.
We learn from the Bulletin that Dr.
J. B. Small has been appointed to St.
Luke's Church, Wilmington.
Rev. R. H. W. Leek will not go to
Fayetteville to the A. M. E. Church,
and Rev. Mr. Simmons has been ap
pointed there.
Rev. Blaylock, of Lumberton goes
to Maxton. and Rev. Lutterloh of
Maxton goes to Lumberton.
Rev. A. A. Williams was in the
city this week. lie says he will move
his family here very soon.
Rev. J. C. Embryos the A. M. E.
Church Book concern, passed through
the city on Wednesday to the South
Carolina Conference.
Mr. R. C. Cobb, of Kinston, was
married to Miss Alice Grant, of Salis
bury, at the bride’s residence, on
Wednesday morning, by Prof. W. 11.
Goler. They are spending a few days
in Wadesboro.
The city of Charlotte has been sued
by the Water Works Company for
§l.lOO, which the company claims is
still unpaid. The ease will be tried
in the Federal Court next week.
There were only fourteen deaths in
Charlotte in November. Wilmington
will double the population reports
thirtv-eight. Charlotte is one of the
healthiest cities iu the country.
The United States court will be
held in this city next week. Col. 11.
C. Cowles, the clever republican clerk
still holds the papers and calls the
rolls.
The editor is much better this week
and was in the city on Wednesday
long enough to get a peep at the bride
and groom as they passed through,
and regrets very much his inability to
attend the marriage at Chester.
The criminal court is in session
this week and the county chain gang
receives its usual increase of laborers.
It is a strange law that sends colored
men there and always manages to get
white men off some other way. It
is said by many that Judge Mcares is
an imparts! judge, hence rather than
charge his courts with partial judg
ment, we rather say there is some
thing wrong in the law.
I'iease keep your subscriptions paid
®P promptly.
Blackwell—Walker.
About ten days ago cards were is
sued announcing the marriage of Rev.
Geo. L. Blackwell to Miss Annie E.
Walker, daughter of Rev, D I. Wal- j
ker, of Chester, S. C. The ceremony j
was performed by Bishop S. T. Jones,
on Wednesday at 3 o’clock in the j
afternoon, in the Methodist church.
They took the north bound train and
were met iu this city at the depot by a
large number of lady friends who
were anxious to throw the “old shoo”
at her. The bridal party spent the
night in Salisbury, the guests of Mrs.
Prof. C. R. Harris, and then left for
Washington City, where the bride will
spend a week or so with her friend,
Mrs. A. S. Richardson, while the
groom prepares to receive her in their
new home, Bridgeport, Conn.
Rev. G. L. Blackwell is one of the
most promising young ministers in
Zion connection and has for several j
years been one of the most active in |
the Central North Carolina Conference, j
He is a young man of about 2G years, j
and had entered his senior college j
year. At the last session of his con- ]
fercnce he transferred to the New ;
England Conference.
Miss Annie is the oldest of a fatu- !
| ily of intelligent and handsome chil
dren. She is the favorite of Chester ;
and every community in which she j
ever stopped. She is his senior by •
two years ; is handsome, intelligent,
I industrious, kind and affable. Mr. j
Blackwell is fortunate in getting a j
prize of which any man might well
feel proud. She will be missed iti
Chester county as well as in this city.
It is hoped that they will soon return
to this State. They have the best
wishes of the Messenger for a long, j
prosperous and happy life.
Iu California.
Mrs. Maggie Gray who went to j
! California three or four months ago,
writes back that she is doing w'ell.
i As an evidence of which she sends her
i mother §lB as a Christmas present
| Mr. Prince Brown writes back that
1 he is in “God’s free country” at last,
and has plenty of work and good
prices. Mr. Brown has been out
j there only about a month.
Rev. C. C. Petty left last week
with a party of about forty, princi
pally from the eastern part of the
State. Years ago the white people
had the gold fever, and Horace Gree
ley advised young men to “Go west.”
Now our people are looking and mov
ing that way.
Charlotte Light Infantry.
We are informed that the commis
sions for the officers and the guus for
the Charlotte Light Infantry Company
have been received. At last we have
a regular colored military company
in this city. It is a necessary and
useful institution, and much credit is
due the officers who have worked hard
and long to give us a well disciplined
military compauy. Their success is
gratifying. The officers are :G. J.
Toole, captain ; C. S. L. A. Taylor,
first lieutenant; E. W. Butler, second
lieutenant.
It is hoped that all our citizens will
give all the aid and encouragement
possible whenever they have an oppor
tunity. The company is now uni
formed and equipped and make a fine
appearance on the street. Hurrah for
the C. L. I.
Resolutions of Respect in Honor of Rev.
A. It. Fleming by the V. M. C. A.
Whereas, God in his wise provi
dence has seen fit to take one of our
brethren; and as the Y. M. C. A. be
moans the loss of the brother who has
recently become a member of the asso
ciation,
Jlesolved, That as God does all
things for the best, and that as wc
believe the brother has gone to glory,
we offer these resolutions of respect
to his dear wife and friends hoping
that they will ho consoled in the fact,
though it is their loss but his eternal
gain, that only reliance on God will
j permit them to embrace him in heaven.
Resolved, That a copy of these rcs
j olutions he sent for publication to the
I Star of Zion, Charlotte Messenger
ami Golden Rule; also a copy to the
! family of the deceased.

Dear Messenger: I have bpen trying j
for a week or two to find time to write j
you a few lines, but my time has been
so occupied that I have found it im- j
possible to do so until now.
You cannot imagine what a pleasure
it is for me to find the Messenger on
my table every Monday. Sometimes
it reaches me on Saturday. lam
glad the Messenger is doing so well.
What we need is, more men and wo
men to hold out the clean truth as the
M essenger does. lam very glad you i
had a pleasant Thanksgiving day. It
was a very pleasant day with us. Our
school is quite large, and everything
moves forward. Wheto is the young
mar. that anticipated coming out here
from Wilmington, N. C. ‘I I would
like very much for Fisk to have
another representative from the “Old
North State,” so please send him on.
The TV. C. T. IJ. convened in this
i city last week. We received visits
! from many of its members and were j
: favored by addresses from quite a j
number of its host speakers. I know !
; much and lasting good has been ac-1
! conipiishcd by them while here. I
j think many of the men in this city |
j have been made to feel ashamed of j
themselves. After attending the con-1
| vention of the W. C. T. IT. and see-!
i ing with how much Christian zeal and
dignity women did rule and work for
| the cause of Christ, I cannot see
i how any man could have the “cheek”
j to say, “women cannot rule an assem
bly.” Yet I dare say there arc some
who are so rude as to say so.
Hoping you much success I remain,
; very truly, Eliza 11. Grier.

WHAT
AILS
YOU?
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, cote
feet, drowsiness after meals, wakefulness, or
disturbed and uurefreshing sleep, constant,
indescribable feeling of dreud, 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 whut stage it has reached.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Tied leal Discovery
will subdue it, 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 9 * Golden .Med leal Dis
covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and
through that great blood - purifying organ,
cleanses the system of all 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 ap|>etizing, restorative tonic, it promotes
digestion and nutrition, thereby building up
both flesh and strength. In malarial districts,
this wonderful me<Ueinc has gained great
celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and
Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases.
