Bishop Lomax is still in the city with his family. Mrs. .J. E. King was at home last Sunday to attend the concert here on Monday night. Miss Nora Tyler has returned home from Liberty Hill, S. C., where she has been teaching. Prof. J. C. Price, Revs. Rives, and Stitt visited the graded school last Monday. lion. J. C. Dancy of the Star of Zi on, and Prof. W. H. Golcr were in the city last week. Persons failing to get their papers on time will please notify us at once so we may correct the error. Miss Minnie Sumner came home from Union county to visit the family and attend the concert by the Stars. The Senate has again passed the Blair educational bill by a vote of 39 to 29. It goes to the House for its action. A reception was given the concert party at Mrs. Lomax, on Monday night at which Misses (Tyler, Sumner and Smith made speeches. We had a splendid letter from Miss McLean last week and another this week. We are sick. Miss Mary, that accounts for so little news by us. Miss Lula Black, of Greensboro, spent several days in this city this week. She has been teaching in Rutherford and will go to Ashville from here. The concert party on Monday night used a handsome upright piano fur nished by E. M. Andrews, our furni ture man. He keeps on hand the best makes of organs and pianos. He rents cheaper than any one else in the city. Mr. James G. Blaine has sent a let ter to the chairman of the Republican National committee saying he will not allow bis name to be used in the Chi cago convention. Just what it will amount to is yet to be seen, but John Sherman is our candidate, first and second. The concert by Dr. Price and his stars was a complete success. Every body was delighted with the perform ance and the Academy of Music was crowded. Mr. Paul Jefferson Jr. of Columbia, S. C., was the piano accom panist. Miss Smith satisfied the au dience that she is entitled to he called “Song bird,” and Miss Nahar took the house by storm with her elocu tion. Dr. Price pleased all. Livingstone college has the ablest representative of any institution in this country. All the necessary ele ments of manhood are combined in its president, Dr. J. C. Price. It is an honor to any young man to graduate under such a president aud specimen of manhood and Negro possibilities. This college is manned entirely by Negroes, and has in its faculty other eminently great men. Dr. Sinclair, Profs. Attics, Goler and Battle are fine speakers. Profs. Moore and Harris are not given to much talk, but are among the profoundest scholars of our race. Prof. Skinner is a young man in years, but one of the best scholars turned from the New England schools. Livingstone college has made the most rapid strides of any in the coun try and will soon lead all others in scholarship and numbers. Friend please stop borrowing this paper. The subscription is cheap. Take it for yourself, and help the editor. A concert was given at the first Baptist church on Tuesday night, Mr. N. B. Houser, manager. The editor of this paper has been sick three or four weeks. He is unfit for travelling, but business compels him to leave home. He will be in Rockingham on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and hopes to meet all his subscribers prepared to settle. He will be in Laurinhurg on Thursday. Hon. John M. Langston visited Rockingham this week, and lectured there on Monday night. We are sorry that Mr. Langston came so near us and failed to give us a call. Good friends, it is somewhat dis couraging to go a hundred miles or so to see our delinquents and collect nothing from them. We know times are hard, yet if you don’t pay us something we can’t print the paper. We are informed by private letter that Mr. Preston 11. Brown, from this city, now teaching in Fayetteville, was recently married to Miss Kate Perry, of that town. We know the Perry family well. Miss Kate is the fifth living daughter of the late Edwin Perry, one of the best men ever in the State. While it was what is commonly called a runaway match, we hope they will do well. Katie is a pretty aud good girl. Call a Convention. It is time the executive committee of the Cth congressional district were taking some action towards holding a convention. Mr. 0. S. Hayes is the chairman, we think, and we hope he will call the committee together and call a convention. We suggest Lum berton as the place to hold the district convention. The convention should be held to organize and select two delegates and two alternates to repre sent the district at the Chicago con vention, but not to nominate a candi date for Congress. We think late in the summer will be time enough to nominate the candidate. Let us hear from you and your committee, Mr. Hayes. Langston in Rockingham. The Hon. John M. Langston spent last Sunday and Monday in Rocking ham. It seems that some years ago a member of the Wall family was car ried to Ohio, who has since died, leaving an estate of about SIOO,OOO to be divided among a number of heirs, several of whom are in Rock ingham. This was a colored woman, and of course the heirs are all colored. Mr. Langston is executor and attor ney for the estate, and was here look ing after and identifying the Rocking ham heirs. Matters were very easily adjusted, as he had no trouble in find ing all the heirs. A portion of the heirs arc still in Ohio, and some in other places. Capt. O. S. B. Wall, of Washington City, is one of the heirs. Mr. Langston lectured in the court house on Monday night, and made a very fine impression on his hearers. He is a distinguished lawyer aud a polished scholar. One hundred thousand dollars is a pretty good little sum to fall to Negro heirs from a Negro parent, and we arc glad that much of it will come to North Carolina. Republican County Ex. Com. The executive committee of Meck lenburg county are hereby requested to meet in the city of Charlotte on Thursday, the first day of March, 1888, to make arrangements for the holding of u county convention to select delegates to represent the coun ty in the .Slate convention to be held in Raleigh on the fitb of May; also the district convention to he called. and to attend to any other business that may come before the convention. By order of the Chairman. J. W. Brown, Seo’y. Charlotte, N. C , Feb. 15, 1888. M. E. Zion Reform Church in the City. Dear Editor : Please allow us space in your well-known journal to say to the citizens of this city, that we have passed off a few days here in pleasure and happiness, during which timo we have organized a Church of the Methodist Episcopal Zion Reform connection. We came hero by the re quest of friends and citizens, and wish to work in unity with all other de nominations throughout the city, as we do in other places. Our general fund is 25 cents per member. Our form of Church government seems to meet the approval of the people in general. We truly hope that we may work in sympathy and hearty co-ope ration with all cvengelical churches, and the presence of the citizens is dc-> sired at our religious worship, from time to time, on E. Myers street. J. W. Roberts has the supervision of the Church. Wo arc forever your ser vants iu the cause of Christ. A. Hill, J. W. Robkrts. HUMOR OK THE DAY.

Killing His Stepfather and Driven From Place to Place by a Femi nine Avenger—A Strange Tale. On the 10th of August, 1885, iu the city of Brooklyn, young Thonms Arm strong killed liia stepfather, Albert Her rick, son of W. C. Herrick, who resides in Nashua, N. 11. To-day he drags a twenty-pound iron ball, forged to his ankle, through the streets of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. There are but two years between the two dates, yet in that time this nineteen* year-old boy Ims lived whole lives of re morse and turmoil. His hair has whitened under the terrible curse that always followed him. From land to land, across seas and deserts, back in the wil dernesses far from civilization, putting thousands of miles between him and his home, he hurried along, but no peace came. And now he is breaking stone in the public highway, a branded felon. Brought up in ease and luxury, Thomas Armstrong fouud ample time to learn the vices of a great city. Wild and vicious when but a mere child, he grew up vin dictive, quarrelsome, treacherous and malignant, lie ran away from home time after time, each time turning up in jail for some offense far beyoiyl his years. While Thomas was still a youth, Mrs. Armstrong who had considerable prop erty left by her first husband, married Albert It, Herrick, of Nashua. From the first young Thomas and he had vio lent quarrels. Often he turned upon his mother, but with that si range maternal perversity which makes mothers love their black sheep even better than their white, she clung closer to hint, encourag ing him in his idleness and self-indul gence, and supporting him in his many bitter quarrels with his stepfather. All this time his mother knew' that her son declared that he would have her money before he w’as 21, by fair means or foul. The murder was sudden, but the neigh bors had almost expected it. August 10 Mr. Herrick arrived home early in the afternoon. <>f what happened afterward but little is known but that lie aud voting Thomas Armstrong had a violent quarrel. An hour afterward a Mr. Frank, who w’as passing, was horrified to see Herrick standing in the hallway of his residence, with a torrent of blood pouring from bis mouth, uttering criesof “Murder! Help! Burglars!” Then he fell. When taken up he was dead. The police searched the house, and after almost despairing of findiug a clew, found a bullet- embedded in the wood work of the cellar door. Thomas Arm strong was suspected, arrested, and tried. He admitted his guilt to the officers, but denied it at his trial, under instruction of his counsel, saying that he killed Her rick iu self-defence." The trial will long be remembered in the police annals of Brooklyn. Mrs. Herrick spent a fortune for her boy, and lie was acquitted. As young Armstrong left the court room free there crowded forward from among the spectators a tall, lieautiful girl, not more than 1. years old, who caught him by the arm ami hissed in his ear. “ You have escaped but one judgment.” Then she vanished iu the crowd. In the spring of 1880 Armstrong, now’ notorious for his many crimes, caused a genuine sensa tiou by marrying a pretty young society lady named Ella lloscomb. From the first he maltreated her. They soon parted. Last August she died, and in the delirium just preceding death she cried in agony: “ Keep him away. Don’t let Tom kill me.” Armstrong became haggard and pale, aud his mother was forced to send him away. He stayed away a year, returning broken down, telliug a stqry of being haunted by an enemy. The police in every place he stopped at visited him and requested him to ** move on.” Try as he would Le could not get where lie was not know n to the police, and, brokeu iu spirit and h alth, he returned to Brook lyn. His mother raised $1,500 for him. and he sailed for New South Wales uuder the name of 1.. I). Wetz.er, of ( anada. As he walked up the dock of Sydney, when the vessel landed, December It*, he felt the hand of a policeman on his shoulder, ami turned to hear the words: “ Ihomas .1. Armstrong, we know you; move on!” Despairing of peace, Aimstmug made the best of his way to the wild part of Aus tralia. i here he gambled and drank until his money was exhausted. Long ing for the companions of a city, each time he visited one he met with that stern commaud: ** Move on !” At last, along in the spring of 1887, poor and desperate, weary and worn, he reached llri.-bane, u w eck of his former self. With not a friced or a dollar in in the world lie atte apied to repeat the experience* of his youth and eommit & buigiary. But the polite, besides warning him, had watched him. He was caught iu the act,tried.aud sentenced to two years' pcual servitude. He is now serving his sentence, doing the first legitimate work of lib life in keeping tin roads in good condition in company with 100 other criminals. Tht* Nemesis, who is making if Thomas Armstrong a rival of the Wandering .lew*, is the you g lady who hissed the words in h * ear just after bis acquittal of the imn d r t*f bis stepfather. She bad wat' hcd the proceeditigs of the murder trial with fever sh interest. When the verdict of a quittal came she hither lips until tlie blood ran. Tuber Albert R.
