Dennett commencement is on the sth next Tuesday. The graded schools of this city clos ed Friday of last week. Itev. 11. 8. McDuffie of Ashville is to be ordained priest in Raleigh to-morrow. The teachers of our graded schools were re-elected last week, also Prof. Alex. Graham. The Zion General Conference at New Bern elected C. C. Pettcy, and C. R. Harris Bishops. A majority of the North Carolina delegation is said to be for Blaine, the others arc for Sherman. Mr. J. M. Ilagler offers for sale a very nice and convenient house on First street. Call and see him. Gordon says ho holds Calvin in the palm of his hand, and Calvin’s actions in the late conventions prove it. Our readers generally will be glad to learn that the day train is soon to be put on the Carolina Central road again. All the schools in Fayetteville closed this week. The normal, the graded and Prof. Preston Brown’s school. In the Gth District convention Judge D. L. Russell and J. W. Gordon were elected delegates to Chicago. The Odd Fellows are having their hall repaired. They have given up the idea of building and arc fitting up the old one. On the 15th of May at the resi dence of the brides parents, Miss An nie Byers was quietly married to Mr. ■J. D. Gosprey. Room and board will be furnished teachers free of charge at the teachers institute and the railroad will take them for half faro. The democratic National conven tion will meet in St. Louis, Mo. next Tuesday. The ticket will probably lie Cleveland and Gray. The commencement at Biddle is next Wednesday. A grand time is anticipated and our city people should give them a big turnout. Scotia commencement will be on the Uith, one week later than Biddle. It needs no recommendation, as all knows it pays to go there. We learn that Rev. E. M. Collett has been elected a delegate to the prohibition National convention which meets in Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. Clayborn King and Miss Mary Marvillc were married at the Baptist church in Laurinburg on the 16th inst., by Rev. W 11. Woodward. Our school commissioners have been asked to raise the pay of our colored teachers. We have the poorest paid, yet the best teachers in the State. On the 19th of May, Miss Savanab Newell, daughter of Hon. Jno. New- ell of Bladen county, was married to Mr. H. G. Shipman of the same coun ty- If our friends will pay up at once we will take advantage of the honor conferred on us by the republicans of the State and go to Chicago. Shall we go ? Slavery has been abolished in Brazil. The spirit of freedom has been steadily marching from Massa chusetts and will soon reach the great Southern cape. The teacher’s institute will con vene in Raleigh at Shaw University on the 12th. Every teacher and friend to education should attend even if it be at great sacrifice. An excursion from Columbia last Wednesday resulted in a row and three men killed and several men and women wounded. Excursions arc generally bad things. We were compelled to leave out several letters this week for want of space. This paper is still growing ip popularity and we get many good letters. Be brief friends. A large crowd went to Salisbury on the excursion Wednesday morning. It is said the R. & D. railroad ran the excursion and simply allowed certain names used to draw a crowd. Neatly printed invitations continue to come to us. Our thanks are due the Fayetteville normal, Bennett Seminary and Scotia alumni, for invitations to attend their exercises. Prof, E. E. Smith, Minister to Liberia, left Goldsboro on the 24th with his wife and son, to spend a few days in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York and sail ed on yesterday for Liberia. Please don’t write to us to know why your paper don’t come if you have not paid for it. We must settle up our business for a change. If you would read this paper during the campaign you must pay in ad vance. John. S. Henderson the old re liable barber has left his old quarters and gone upon the hill. He is now shaving in front of the court house. His old customers are requested to come where they can get fresh court house water handy at all times. Y~ Rev. R. 11. Stitt has been transferr ed to Newburgh N, Y., and expects to leave next week. His congregation is much displeased with the change and hope the Bishop has selected a good man to succeed him—a man who will bring his family in our midst. One of tho evils of excursions is, people i nil go on them even if they have to borrow the money to pay their way, when their paper is unpaid for, their grocery bill waiting and even the clothes they wear belongs to some one else. A people can never prosper in that way. We were elected by the republican State convention an altcrdatc delegate to Chicago to nominate a President. We have to pay our own expenses and want to go. We should leave on the 14th. We hope therefore, that all our delinquents will pay us so we may leave the paper safe till our return. Col. W. P. Canaday was not a candidate before the convention, but his friends insisted on voting for him and lacked only three votes of elect ing him a dclegatc-at-largc to Chicago. He is well pleased with the ticket and thinks it will win. Col. Canaday is the best republican in the State and colored men know it. Maine of Maine. The sentiment of the politicians is strongly for the Plumed Knight. Wo do not favor his nomination because we think Sherman a better friend to the Negro. We believe Sherman will make the best run and the best Presi dent. We are not for Blaine, and will not be till he is declared the nominee of the Republican party, and when that is done we will do as we did four years ago : support him cheer fully, to our utmost ability. We admit that Blaine is one of the greatest men in America, and we ad -1 mire his greatness, yet John Sherman is good enough for us, and we hope the convention will nominate for j President of this Union, John Sber- I man, of Ohio, Prohibition Election. The much talked of election will come off next Monday. We regard it as a moral fight, and our position is well-known in all sucL issues. We arc unchanged and uncbangable, un compromisingly opposed to whiskey. Christians, church people and tem perance people should nil vote for prohibition, because it is right, and the best way to treat the monster. Young men drink because the tempta tion is before them. Women and children suffer because their husbands leave their money in the bar-rooms on Saturdry nights. Bar-rooms are a nuisance. They sell whiskey to women and children to disgrace themselves and the city. Prohibition is popular, and we think will succeed here this year. Colored men have caught the great monster behind it, and arc no longer afraid of it. All the leading colored men in the city arc on the side of prohibition this year. Be sure to vote. y' St. Michael’s Church. Rev. P. P. Alston is succeeding nicely with St. Michael. A few vears ago he started with but three commu nicants. Now he has about fifty and a neat little brick church, with a good school house on the grounds, in which a school is kept eight or nine months in the year. When Bishop Lyman was here three weeks ago we heard from him one of the ablest and most’ interesting sermons we ever heard. Twelve persons were confirmed. About the same number were confirmed last year. Mr. Alston is a good man and he is doing a good work, which will follow him. Miss Cottic Dancy, of Tarboro, taught the parochal school and played for the church. A hospi tal is soon to be built and put under the care of this church. Livingstone College. The following were graduated from Livingstone College on the 10th of May: Classical—C. D. Howard, W. L. Henderson, J. D. Bibb, W. R. Doug lass, I.D. Hargett, J. B. Colbert, J. W. Colbert, G. L. Blackwell, Miss Esther Carthoy, Miss Ellen Dade. Theological—R. 11. Stitt, J S. Caldwell. Normal—George Wilkerson, Frank McNeill, E. D. Jones, Thomas Lomax, A. A. Rives, A. L. Mclntyre, A. F. Moore, Miss Bcttie Riddick, Miss Nannie O’Kellcy, Miss Mamie Lucas, Miss Hannah Stewart. Convention Notes. The Republican convention last week was the best aud most orderly ever held in the State. The ticket put out for Republicans to vote for is the strongest that can be offered the people of this State. About two-thirds of the delegates to the convention were white men— from 21 years of age to the old gray haired grandfathers. The best looking men in the State were in the convention, and one need not be surprised if Wake county goes unanimous for the Republican ticket this year, for the effect on the people is great. The late convention was the largest , attended, 'the most intelligent, and the best humored ever in the State. There was no angry cross-firing, as is common in such bodies, and every man got an opportunity to make his speech. Col. J. E. Boyd is an excellent presiding officer, and gives every man a chance, and for once in his life we think our townsman, J. W. Gor don, exhausted himself, and was talk ed down. He seldom failed to obtain the floor, licnoe he had time to say all he could say. Mecklenburg county got as much recognition in the State convention as any county in the State. J. W. Gor don did the talking was put on the State committee. W. C. Smith was put on the credentials committee and was elected alternate delegate-at large to Cbioago. ■p ÜBBER STAMP, with your JLv name in Fancy Type, 25 visiting cards, and India Ink to mark Linen, 25 for 25 cents (stamps.)

(Near) Lacbisburo, Richmond Co., N.C. I May 19th, 1888. f This will certify that in the month of Feb ruary last I was taken extremely ill with a disordered liver and deep cold. Soon I was attacked with tits, and I am told that for over a month they were so frequent as sixteen spells in a day and night. My husband had me conveyed to Maxton, N. C., where X was treated by Dr. Alfred Moore, with his lately discovered medicines, reduced in several forms from the Pine tree. I was suffering with a fit when I reached Dr. Moore’s office, and was immediately treated. In about twenty minutes I was relieved and have not had one since, and my general health is now completely restored. This was in the month of April—the last Thursday in the month, her HARRIET (X) WILKESON. mark. This is to certify that Harriet Wilkeson is my wife, and that her statement above is cor rect and true. Before visiting Dr. Moore I had employed every means in my power for her relief, including the services of an emi nent physician, but with no benefit whatever until treated with Dr. Moore’s Pine Tree Specifics. his BEN (X) WILKESON. mark Maxtor, N. C., May 19th, 1888. Personally appeared before me Ben Wilke son and his wife, Harriet Wilkeson, who having heard the foregoing certificates read, signed the same in my presence, and they furthermore declare that all the facts as stated in said certificates are true.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syri-f, for chil •dren teething, is the prescription of oncofthe best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and has been used for forty years with never-failing success by millions of mothers for their children. During the process of teething its value is incalculable. It relieves the child from pain, cures dysentery and diar rhoea, griping in the bowels, and wind-colic.
