We want one thousand new sub scribers by the first of January. Let every lady and every gentlemen reader send us one new subscriber or send us a list of the reading colored people around you, with their postoffice ad dress, so we may send them a copy of our paper ' If your paper has a blue cross mark, it will be stopped till you pay up. We cannot continue to send it to you without some money. Please pay up and let us continue it to jmu. Wanted. We want a canvassing agent in every county in the State, to solicit subscribers for the Mkssenger. Lib eral commission will be paid active agents Let us bear from every town and county at once. Address W. 0. SMITH, Charlotte, N. C. The editor has been engaged in the federal court all this week at the expense of the paper. We will give a Christmas edition next week. Zion will have a female semi nary run by and for the church and at the same time not at all embarrassing to other interests. Invitations announce the mar riage of Miss Lucille M. Smith of Wilmington to Mr. Wiley B. Hunter of Raleigh on the 26th inst. at 8 a. m. in St. Stephen’s church. Go to H. Baruch’s for your Christmas goods; it is the largest and the cheapest house in town. E. M. Andrews is the best place in North Carolina to buy furniture. All persons contemp lating housekeeping should call on E. M. Andrews. Don’t forget we want to eat turkey and other good things on Christmas, but if you don’t pay us that little you owe, we will not be able to go out. Pay up now and then send us a card to dine with you. Judge W. J. Montgomery has resigned and Governor Scales has appointed Mr. R. F. Armfield of Statesville to succeed him. Col. R. R. Bridgcrs, president of the W. & W. railroad, uied suddenly in Columbia, last Sun day. The federal court is in session here this week. Judge R. P. Dick presiding. Invitations have been issued to the marriage of Miss Annie Palmer to Rev. J. S. Gaskill on the 20th. Rev. G. H. Miles writes us a letter this week encouraging the establishment of a female seminary. Revs. Hill and Collins will move their families to this city about the first of January. Rev. Gaskill will bring his next week. Some North Carolinians want the South Carolina election law passed by our next legislature^ No use talking anything else., Our people must come by moral, mental and material improve ment, and the man or woman who can’t stand criticism is not the one to lead. The Oriole literary society will celebrate its anniversary on the night of January Ist by a social entertainment. This society has grown large and popular. New officers will be elected at the first meeting in January. Grace church Sabbath school is preparing for a Christmas tree on Christmas night. Have not heard from other Sabbbath Schools. The question is asked why do the young ladies of the city marry so slow. Guess the girls would like to have the question answered. Capt. Bennett B. Goins of Kittrels was elected Major of the first battallion at the meeting in Raleigh last week. Capt. Taylor represented our com pany. Major Goins is an intelli gent and worthy gentleman and will do credit to the colored millitia of the State. Mrs. Jno. S. Leary has gone to Raleigh to live as Mr. Leary has charge of the law depart ment of Shaw. We have a new evening daily published by Mr. Wade Harris. This may mean that the Chroni cle must go. Time will tell. A bill has been introduced in South Carolina legislature enact ing qualified suffrage which would disfranchise most of the colored and thousands of white men. The Columbia Register opposes the measure and has created a sensation by denounc ing it in severe terms. The project to build new rail roads out of this city is meeting with much opposition. The county commissioners have re cinded the order for a new re gistration and the same books used in the State Presidential election will be used. The colored people are not specially concerned about this election, though it is important. They should inform themselves and be prepared to vote intelligently and not let a few men sell them as usual. When the head and body of the church becomes corrupt, then all are going to the devil, and all talk about temperance and religion is foolishness and in vain. The Daily Press is a new morning Republican paper start ed in Washington City. It is published by E. W., W. C. and E. B. Fox & Co., and is a Harri son administration organ—s 6 a year. Our next Legislature which meets in Januafy will elect a United States Senator. There seems to be opposition to Sena tor Ransom and many candi dates are in the field. Among them are Capt. Sid. Alexander, Col. A. M. Waddell and ex-Gov. Jarvis. Rev. J. M. Hill is a popular man and will hold his own; Rev. R. C. Collins is a winning preacher and will make his way; Rev. J. T. Gaskill is a good young man and has a fine open ing to build up a good church. Let us see if every member of Grace church can’t go to ser vices twice to-morrow and on time. If the members of Grace church will do their duty the church will grow. Let us look after our church duty and be out regular and on time. Will Weddington, John Wed dington and Sam Reid, of Mon roe, were tried in the Criminal court here last week for the murder of Joe Pierce the town marshal. Will Weddington was convicted of murder and sen tenced to be hanged while John i Weddington and Sam Reid were convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years each in the penitentiary. Appeal was taken to the Supreme court. It should be understood that this paper is not the organ of Grace church, and that church should not be held responsible for the individual expressions of the editor. It is provokirtg to us to see people so foolish as to blame a church for the senti ments of one of its members. It is time now for our people to think for themselves. A little common sense may keep us from unnecessary worry. Do the right. Twenty-three Men Shot Dowfi. The terrible tragedy in Birm ingham, Ala., last Saturday is much regretted by everybody, but it is the natural out-growth of this terrible sentiment in favor of lynch law. Such les sons are terrible, but a few such irr our opinion would stop armed mobs from going to jails and taking out men and murdering them. The sheriff at Birming ham is to be commended, though he did fearful work. He sus tained the law and the law is bound to sustain him. The man inside the jail may have been guilty, but he was entitled to a fair trial. The mob insisted on breaking in the jail and were fired upon by the sheriff’s men and twenty-three of the mob fell dead and wound ed. When sheriffs thoughout the country show such a deter mination to do their duty this lynching business will be stop ped. It is hoped the country will never witness another such occurrence as happened at Birmingham last Saturday night. Let the law take its course and be content with its judgments.

A straw colored bull pup, anorgan grinder with a monkey, an Irish woman with a basket of bananas, a colored man with u bucket of lime on his head, an inebriated 6ailor, a white girl with a new pair of shoes 1 under her arm, and a countryman in a cheap i blue suit, with a sachel seemingly quite 1 heavy, were all walking down Main street | ’ yesterday toward the Catharine ferry. The bull pup was ahead of the procession. His , tail stuck out straight, his eyes gleamed and he walked as though full of business. Sud denly tho Irish woman slipped on a piece of apple peel. Her feet flew out and she dropped the basket violently on the monkey. The monkey shrieked; tho ball pup aroso a short distance in tho air, through astonishment and excitement, and then swept like a flash be tween tbo organ grinder’s legs. Tho Italian let go tho organ, tho crank of which ho had been turning as ho walked, and the ancient Ro man melody, “Blue Violets,” was crushed to earth again. In trying to escape the dog the colored man dropped his bucket of lime, the contents of which were splattered over tho sailor, who swore and flung up his arms, one of them striking the white girl across the nose. She naturally ejaculated. The coun tryman, likewise alarmed by tho dog and the commotion ahead, dropped his sachel on the animal and began to run. The bull pup howled and the countryman fell over his sachel sprawling, and for the space of three ! minutes Main street was os animated as a circus.—Brooklyn Eagle. A Business Scheme. “Why do you ask for ten cents ?” k demanded a citizen of a tramp in City Hall park. “Most of you fellows only ask for a penny.” “Yes, sir,” politely responded the tramp, “and if they are repulsed their case is hope less. With me, I can offer bargains—slaugh ter prices. In this case lam willing to make a dead reduction of five cents, thus enabling yon, my dear sir, to come to the assistance of a deserving but despairing fellow being, with tho pleasant feeling that you aro not only doing good, but doing it at fifty cents on the dollar.”—Now York Sun, The Unexpected. —Life. What Ike He Was In. Wliat appeared to boa particularly re freshing drummer rattled away to a neigh bor in a Sixth avenue elevated car, yester day, all about his business success Then lie was curious to learn something about his neighbors affairs. They were very discour aging. His expenses were sls a day, and be hadn’t mado a sale in four weeks, and didn’t expect to mako one in another month. “My, my, don’t they kick?” asked the effer vescent ODe. referring to his neighbor’s em ployers. “Ob, no,” replied tho sls man. That so nonplused the other that he asked: “What business are you in, my friend?” “I sell suspension bridges,” was the calm rejoinder.—New York Bun. -4*|§gg Brief. This is tho age of brevity in business trans actions. Placards, humorous and semi-seri ous, distributed in mercantile houses, say so. Tho very latest indication of rush and a con venient means to save time are the signs in the stations along the New Haven road tacked up over some of the clocks. They say: “This is a clock. It is going. It is the correct time. Now shut up.” The placards save tho station men a heap of time. —Now York Sun. Criminally Careless. Miss Maude (meeting her cousin, young Mr. Sissy)—Why, you aro not looking well, Charley. * Mr. Hisoy (feebly)—No, Maude. I’m suf fawing from shock. I was vrun dowli lakit week by a cawwidgo in Central park. Miss Maudo (indignantly^—l think it is a perfect outrage, Charley.

Things Cooking Brighter. Merchant—Well, my dear, I made an as signment this f jrouoon. Wife—That’s good, and no w Clara can go to a boarding school, can’tshe?—Judge. Jab Hard Enough. “Never use a crowbar to get a railroad ‘cinder out of your eye.” A lead pencil sharp ened to a fine point will work it out if you jab hard enough.—Detroit Free Press..

A correspondent asks: “Would yon or any of your many readers inform a constant reader bow to learn to play the slates” Not if we know ourselves.—New York News. Oar Little Lives.
