Don’t forget now, we want the money you owe us. The commencement at Livingstone College is next Thursday. The Episcopal convention will meet in Salisbury on the 23d inst. Mr. J. L. Montgomery, of Con cord, spent sometime in the city this week. IVc arc sorry that our Columbia letter came too late for this week. As usual it is interesting. Many, of our people will go to Salisbury to the commencement. Some have gone already. The town marshal of Monroe was killed at a colored festival in that town one night last week. We are having splendid season for gardens and farms. We hope there will not be too much rain. Hon. Thos. E. Nash, Supt. of Rail way mail Service has sent his rcsigna to the Postmaster General. Thursday was Confederate memo rial day, but the rain prevented a parade and many were disappointed. The essay read by Miss Addie McKnigbt on Tuesday night was the best we have heard for some time. Arrangements have been made for reduced rates to the commencement next week. Fare to Salisbury and return, SI.BO It is said that Rev. Z. T. Pearsall has again joined the M. E. church, lie is after J. C. Dancy through the Washington Bee. The prohibition election will be held in June. The commissioners so decided and the struggle now be gins—wet or dry. Grace church is now comfortably seated with new pews. The time for dedication has been changed to the first Sunday in July. Wayne county has endorsed cx- GovernorC. 11. Erogdcnfor Oovcrnor. His name will be presented to the con vention and he is willing. The M. E. General Conference is now in session in New York ; the A. M. E. in Indianapolis, Ind., and the Zion A M. E. in Ncwberne, N.C. -1 Bishop Atkinson will administer the right of confirmation at St. Mich- > aels (P. E.) church to-morrow aJtcß* noon to a large number of candidates. Col. W. R. Myers is offering for sale a number of city lots very cheap and on very easy terms. Our col ored friends should call and sec him. Mr. Jno. 8. Lewis was in our city last Saturday. He bad visited Con cord and was very well pleased with the bar of Cabarrus and Scotia Semi nary. Festivals properly conducted are beneficial and harmless, yet they may be carried too far. Skip, hopping, parading, rowdy festivals should be no longer tolerated by our people. The Brotherly Association had their fourth annual sermon preached at Presbyterian church last Sunday afternoon by the Rev. R. P. Wychc. This is one of the best societies in the city. The lecture at Grace church Wednes day night by Mrs. Early was well atten ded. It was a good lecture, instructive and entertaining. The temperance people have in her a noble worker. Sho met the W. C. T. U. on Thurs day afternoon. The concert at Grace church last week was a complete success in spite of the rain. It was repeated on Tucs day night of this week by request, and though the clouds still threat ened rain, something over $46 was cleared in the two nights. Thirty-eight persons left Concord about three weeks ago for California. It is said another large party will leave there soon for the same section The result is said to be visible around Concord already as everybody has plenty work and better wages. Mr. W. H. Mumford a student of Biddle University, died at his homo in Richmond county about three weeks ago. He returned home from school siok about the first of April, but his doctors were unable to do him any good and he was soon called away. We need money. Please send us some without delay or excuse. Per sons owing us should remember that we can’t run a business on promises, be the intentions ever so good. Don’t wait to get more but send us what you have. Our terms are in advance. Rev. R. II Stitt, P. C., will preach a special sermon to young men to-morrow night at Grace church. A full attendance is desired. Let all the young men in the city turn out and hear him. There will be room also for old men, old ladies and young ladies. The commencement exercises, of Livingstone college conies off next Wednesday 16th. The anntol address will be delivered by Rev. C. F. Deems, D. D., of New York. The baccalaureate sermon will be preached to-morrow by Rev. J. W. Brown, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. We were compelled to give up our trip to Newbcrnc to see the General Conference because so many of our subscribers failed to pay us. Just how some folks can go along having a good time, spending money foolish ly and still refuse to pay us we don’t understand, unless it be pure mean ness. Please give us something. General Conference and Bishop Hood. The following resolutions intro duced by Mr. J. C. Dancy in the General Conference last week were adopted: “Whereas, We have the utmost confidence in the Christian character of Bishop Hood, and while we would not presume to dictate or hamper his opinion, yet we see the necesity to Resolve, That this General Con ference express its dissent from the views attributed to Bishop Hood in the newspapers, which charge him with favoring reimbursement to the ex-slave holders for slaves emanci pated, as wc regard it as against the Constitution and the spirit of civil ization.” These resolutions by Mr. Dancy were offered os a substitute for others offered by Rev. A Waters. Rev. Waters resolutions excited spirited debate and the matter was settled by the above resolutions which puts the church right and square against j>ay ing for the slaves. \ r- V / x X Our Graded Schools. The attention of our readers is called to the importance of a play ground for our graded school child ren. As it now stands wc have hard ly sufficient ground for the children to stand on outside the house. The children play on other people’s prop erty and as soon as this property is fenced the children will have no place to play, The city should have bought at least one square for the school, especially as it is so cheap. We have spoken of this matter before and we earnestly hope all parents and others interested in the children will give the matter consideration. Let the matter bo brought to the attention of the school commissioners Lots are being sold off the white graded school property for three times as much per aero as it will cost to buy for the colored school. Why not take some of that money aud buy land for the colored school ? Some one should put such things befare the proper persons for action. Our lady teachers should have better pay for their services, too. If the principal or commissioners don’t see and act, let the people act themselves. Let all move at once, after considering the proper move to make. This property adjoining the school will soon be sold, as it is very cheap, and action should bo taken while it pan bo had. At least one square should be bought, fenced in and di vided between the boys and girls. Let us see if it can’t be done before the beginning of the next session. FAYETTEVILLE DISTRICT. Second Round.
