Had Mr. Dowell been present, as were others, it would have been a cold day in August for the intruders. To the many friends who sent us con gratulatory letters during the session of the Legislature we take this method of making acknowledgment until we can get a little time in which to express our selves in a more formal way by letter. We are sure each one that press of busi ness is our excuse for our seeming neg lect. Po .Tampa Fuller, whn hftfl hen em- iloyed as an assistant in the Enrolling Mprk'a nflRr. for a short while, received a very high endorsement irom icemen ant Governor Charles A. Reynolds, as being a gentleman of ability, and that he performed his duties with much credit and satisfaction. We have known Rev. Fuller for years, and we know him to be a reliable man of high standing among the people. A lady subscriber writing us says: 'First allow me to congratulate you upon your recent victory. You are con tinually adding new laurels to your al ready won fame. I am still a 4 Young' woman, for in every battle you come out ahead. May you succeed in obtaining the postoffice. You can dignify any po sition within the gift of Mr. McKinley." We doff our hat and make our most graceful bow to this fair correspondent. A leading and influential Republican of Eastern Carolina writes us as follows: "I see that you are prominently men tioned in the papers for the position of postmaster of Raleigh. I desire to say that it is known all over North Carolina that zealous and faithful and long service at the head of about 120,000 voters of the Republican party in North Carolina, and of which you are considered the ablest leader, certainly entitle you to any posi ' tion in the gift of the Republican party in North Carolina, and if my official en dorsement will aid you any please let me know." A prominent Western Republican says in a private letter to us: "Please accept the congratulations of an humble ad mirer, first, for the successful retention of your seat to which you were elected. It gave me special pleasure, because it was a vindication - from the calumny which had been heaped upon you by men(?) who ought to have been your most substantial support. Then again, I want to congratulate you on your very excellent record in the Legislature, hav ing had the most of the legislation en acted which has directly benefitted the race in the State. This I would confess if I were your personal enemy, because no honorable man would attempt to go behind fact and truth. Then, too, you are to be congratulated on the manner in which you conducted yourself, so as to have it said by the enemy that you were the ' most decent Republican of them all.' These things I proudly share an interest in as a man and citizen of the State. May you live long and continue to enjoy the esteem and confidence of all men of affairs, wherever known. I should like to see you amply rewarded for your valiant race and party service." - Mrs. Delia Craven had her name at tached to the Gazette list this week. Rev. J. C. Love will preach at the Fayetteville Street Baptist Church Sun day night, March 21st. Thanks to Prof. Q. C. Mial for an in vitation to be present at the close of his school at Auburn, the 19th inst.; also to Prof. D. J. Emerson, of Carbon ton, Moore County, to his school, which closes on the 27th inst. Mr. James A. Watkins, one of Wake County's enterprising young teachers, called at the Gazette office and renewed his subscription last Saturday. He is now preparing for his school closing which will take place some time in April. Rev. A. T. Price is conducting a revi val at Martin Street Baptist Church. We are earnestly working to help Rev. Price bring souls to Christ. The Lord is here in power. Ten souls has confessed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Others are in quiring the way. I ask the Christians to come over in Macedonia and help us ere we die. J. E. McKenzie. At Shaw University, March 19; 1S97. There will be given a musical concert, consisting of mendolin piano, lecitations, and one of Shakespeare's plays and sing ing by the L.3I. Club of the University. The public are cordially invited to attend. Admission 10c. Doors opened at half-past seven o'clock. Three. Musical Stars. Mr. M. X. Alston, the great musician, has been engaged by Dr. Shepard, Super intendent of Colored Orphan Asylum at Oxford, to train a troupe of the orphans, to travel in the interest of that institu tion. The troupe may travel through the entire South and West. Mr. Alston is a Christian gentleman and as a musician, he stands high. He learns a class of forty two pupils under Miss Anna M. Alston. The management has also engaged little Lucy Butler, widely known as the ,; Col ored: Jenny Lind," and Mr. Charles W. Morris is expected to join the troupe in May. With these race stars, we can say, there will not be a better troupe on the road, regardless of color. How to Get a Public Office. Many desirable offices are within the gift of the new administration. Those who wish to know what places can be had and how to get them, can obtain this information by sending 75 'cents to Soule & Co., Washington, D. C, for the "U. S. Blue Book," showing all government offices and salaries with Civil Service rules, sample examination questions, etc. Under present laws women stand an equal chance with men for positions that insure a comfortable income for life. The "Blue Book" gives complete instruction for office-seekers of both Bexes, and is, besides, a valuable book of reference much in demand. Wake Forest, N. C, March 8, '97. Hon, James II. Young: Please allow u a word this time in your organ. I was elected principal of the school here last November, and Miss G. E. Mitchell assistant. Our work opened January 18th, with 113 pupils the first day. We have now 200, and still "they come." We find much remains to be done in laying a solid foundation in the way of what con stitutes a true education. We are glad to learn of your great efforts in legisla ting to have better trained teachers, "for as the teacher, so are the children." The people here have not had their children instructed as they should have been, and they are not the cause of it. We are glad to say, with God's help, we are try ing to convince the children of their error. Great Scott I What are the boys of Virginia trying to do? We see you were left out at the banquet, headed by Dr. L. A. Scruggs. So the-boys of the ''Old Dominion" expect to kill our boys and take the lead, after we have taken them here and elevated them to position that a Negro dare ask for in their own State. No, never I Any attempt to lower you only makes you stronger. Moses ! there are in North Carolina 120,000 voters, leaving out the women and children, and allowing five persons to each voter, would make 600,000 at your command ; and "be assured" we will stand by you if we have to wade through bloody seas. We need no advice from our sister State along the political line, and those who come from other State 4 must take aback seat until they are invited to come up higher. If we have said anything too strong please erase it. But, Modes, we are your friend, because, through your efforts, we have been taken out of the hands of that Negro-hating party, and allowed self-local government, which is the voice of the people. May God bless you, and spare you many years to lead your people. Yours for the elevation of the Negro I. W. Hold en. Wedding Bells are Ringing. -Mr. Pay ton B random Heeds to the Call. Mr. Payton Brandom led to the hyme nieal alter Miss Annie Hariston, Mar. 11. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. R.

S. J. H. M. Illlllardston Notes. Mr. B. L. Arlington has been on the sick-list, but we are glad to note that he is better. Rev. A. B. Alston, of Suffolk, Va., de livered an able sermon here last Sunday. Rev. M. T. Arrington held regular services at his church last Sunday. Mr. James Epps, of Rocky Mount, N. C, at tended. Hilliardston's Christian people, as well as sinners, were in mourning over the passing across the silent river of the late sister Coatney Arrington, of the Baptist church. She was a veteran Christian soldier, working for the Master and her church. Her body sleeps, but the im mortal soul is rejoicing in the preeence of her Redeemer. She has fought a good fight and has gone up to wear her crown. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from labor to reward sister Mourning Person", who was for 84 years a consistent member of the Baptist church at this place, during which time she stood face foremost in the battle of of the Lord; be it Resolved, that in the death of sister Mourning Person the Baptist church has lost one of its pillars, the community one of its oldest and most useful citizens. Resolved, that while we bow in sub mission to the dispenser of life and death, we mourn her loss and miss her cheering voice, but feel that our loss is heaven's gain. Prof. R. L.

Arrington, near Casta lia, where she is teaching school. The establishment of the Normal and Industrial School for colored teachers is in memory of Hon. James H. Young. Barring will be the monument erected to his great partisanship, at times he stands forth as the political leader among the negroes. Our honored Jim, by you we will stand, your battles wjll fight, your name will love, your cause will espouse until your opposera go down be neath the mighty waves of an indignant people. You won the honors by which you have been decorated by your efforts for the people. We have more to which you are entitled, and in due season we will bestow them upon you. Who is like our Jim? He has brought freedom to us; in all of the struggles he labored in every way possible, losing sleep, spending time, using the wealth of his mind, night and day, nor taking rest till the dove of vic tory he could see perched upon the Re publican banner with tbe olive branch of joy. This is our Jim, whom we de light to honor. - We visited the public school last Fri day (District No. 34) taught by Miss M. L. Arrington, sister of the lateC. F.

The Professor is still cheer ful in his fight for the postoffice in Wilson. We wish him every success in his effort. Rev. Caesar Johnson, of Raleigh, passed through some days ago, en route home. Miss Rosa Gray is teaching the little Raleigh public school, and Mr. Larney is just as merry. Don't you know ? Hon. James H. Young should be con gratulated for the establishment of the Colored Industrial and Training School for our teachers. It is certainly needed. Messrs. M. M. Hines and I. D. Hargett have over 500 signatures to their petitions for the post-office, to say nothing of the private recommendations from leading and influential men. It seems to us that this shows that the people who are pa trons of the office desire a change and are not contented with the present ad ministration although Senator Pritch ard was told to confirm or use his influ ence to have the present incumbent re tained. We do not know whether this charge is true or not, but it sounds cu rious to us, and we can see the nature of it throngh the eye of a needle. We pro pose to discuss this matter as Boon as Senator Pritchard is heard from, as he has been asked to verify the charge. The ministerial entertainment, given under the auspices of Mrs. Maggie Cook and Mrs. Hattie Bullock, was a grand affair. It excelled anything given yet by our people. We hope to see it soon repeated, and let the grit man freeze the cream with a good-size spoon, with a nice slice of cake. The New Era Institute held at the First Baptist Church last Teusday, Wednesday and Thursday was instructive to all who attended. Dr. Whitted and Rev. C. C. Somervill are two very able men in this great work. Dr. D. T. Vann, of Scot land Neck, made one of the ablest talks we ever heard on- Wednesday night. His subject was Biblical Theology given in' 'four lectures. The second theme was Christ the Light of the World; His teachings, miracles Our Example. He was profound in every part of his illus trations and heldjhis audience spell-bound for one and a half . hours. The doctor was very witty all through his lecture. He said he had no respect for any man who would not make an honest living. He told a very amusing story of a tramp who went to a lady's house and said he had had nothing to eat for a month. She told him if he would saw a little vjood he could get a meal. After a few min- . utes of consideration, she allowed him to first have hismeal, and then saw the wood. But the lady had to go up in the city to do a little purchasing and left the tramp to saw the wood. Whereupon, after she left, the tramp wrote a note and' placed in the plate, which she found on her return. The note was as follows: " Just tell them that you saw me, but not sawing wood." This captured his audience, and he closed. Dr. Savage, -pastor of the white church, gave a good talk on Thursday morning. At night Rev. C. C. Somerville made the effort for the occasion. He delivered an able ad dress on Christian Education. He was' very eloquent, indeed, and instructive throughout. He is an able man, and our people admire him for his race pride. The following ministers were in attend ance: Dr, Whitted. Rev. Somerville, Rev. Hicks, Rev. Knight, Rev. Blocklell. Mr. David Winstead conducted the devotion al exercises. The following white people attended: Rev. J. W. Powell, Rev. Sav-- age, Rev. D. T. Vann, Mr. Geo. Parker, Mr. W. B. Spiers, Messrs. Simmons and several ladies. Thus ended a very suc cessful and educational religious insti tute. W. S. Armstrong. Miss Carrie Haywood, of Garner, was in the city this week. She is teaching a term of public school in St. Mary's Town ship, District No. 1. Obituary. Died at her home, near Washington, N. C, of paralysis, on Monday, August 24, 1896, Mrs. Esther V. Rowland, aged about sixty-five years. The deceased died in the full triumph of Christian faith. She had been for more than twenty-five years a consistent mem ber of the Free Will Baptist church, and her life in every respect has been an ex emplary one. Her accustomed place in the home and church is now vacant, but she is not dead but only sleepeth. It can be said of her "None knew her but to love her; none named her but to praise." She leaves three children two sons and one daughter and a host of relatives. Her youngest child is Prof. W. A. Clarke, a leading teacher of Greensboro. N. C. While her children and friends are sorely afflicted, they submissively bow to the decree of Providence, for they mourn not as those without hope, for they know she as an angel awaits their coming in the New Jerusalem, the city of her God.

Latta Unsversity will be closed during the Christmas holidays for all the session for the purpose of rebuilding the build ings that were consumed by fire last May, and also additional buildings. The Uni versity is located in the village of Ober lin, N. C, one and one-half miles west of the capitol building in tha city. The lo cation is the very best for a school, being out of the busy city, but within easy reach by means of the electric street cars. It is enough to say, that there has not been a single case of serious illness since the establishment of the school. Each dormitory is heated by stoves and hearths, so every necessary comfort is secured. The terms are very reasonable $7 50 per month. Those desiring to reduce their expenses by work will be taken at tbe lowest possible rates: young men $6.40 per month ; young women $5.40 per month; day students $1 per month. A small incidental fee will be charged. Tbe school will reopen on the 7th day of October, 1897. Our purpose is to make it one of the largest schools in the South for the race. Law and Medicine will be added. The institution is wholly non sectarian in its religious instruction or influence. Yet earnest attention will be given to Bible study, applying its truths to daily life and conduct, that a thorough Christian character may be obtained. It is open to .all students of either sex. None but competent teachers will be em ployed. For further information, address the President, Rev. M. L. Latta, D. D. I will letve for the North and Europe the latter part of December or the first of January, and will return time enough to have buildings completed by the re opening of the school. The University will contain eight buildings. dec. 56 m. "Father Bruin AND HIS - Little Son." In this grasping age when so many people want-everything (for nothing) it is refreshing to go back to Mother Goose and read that Father Bruin's little son only wished for himself a nice Currant Bun. Side lines and Plnhook prices do not indicate a prosperous business. We do not advertise Cheap Goods. We have them in stock and sell when asked for, but in the language of Uncle Moses Salter, "It flings a dampness" on us to show them. We would rather sell one dollars' worth of nice stock than two dollars' worth of poor stuff at the same rate of profit. We rely upon the quality of our goods to build up and keep trade. We have the best of everything in our line, and it is a great satisfaction to exhibit it. Our prices are as low as such goods will afford, and we are not afraid to compare price lists with any house, North or South.
