' RALEIGH. N. C, APRIL 10, 1897. OCR SISTER IS DEAD. How true is the saying, that troubles never come single-handed, from our ex perience for the past two weeks we can testify. Hardly before the lines announc ing the death of our associate worker Mitchell had been printed there came a letter from our brother-in law, Mr. Alex. L. Satterwhite, informing us of the seri ous illness of his wife, our oldest sister, who had been the companion of our child hood. At once we hastened to her bed side at Washington, to find her in a very low state of health, but apparently recov ering after our arrival, which the doctors thought was due to our visit. We found that Doctors Caviness and Raymond and her husband and the nurse were doing all in their power to conquer the fatal dis ease and restore her health, with the odds greatly against them. So well pleased were they all, as well as myself, at the turn her case had taken, and so hopeful were we all of her ultimate recovery that it was decided that we could return home, feeling that all would be well. 1 1 accord ance with those views we left Washing ton on Friday night last on the 7 o'clock boat for Norfolk and arrived at Raleigh Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. We were accompanied on this trip by ex-Congressman Cneatham, and while we were conversing about her recovery and rejoic ing at the prospect her soul was taking its winged night to the land of the blessed, and yet we knew nothing of it. Oh! how doomed we are to disappointment. She died in exactly four hours after we left her, and jet we did not know a word aoout it until we reached home and was told the news by our beloved wife. A telegram was seat us at Norfolk, but for some cause did not reach us. To the many enquirers along our route we answered that she wad getting better, never one time thinking that tne getting better was a reality, because her soul had gone to be with Jesus. Our feelings and grief, upon learning of her deatn, can better be im agined than written. But as she and we had in our young days learned to trust in Jesus, we bore it the best we could. We left for "Washington on the Atlanta Spe cial and was joined by Mr. Cneatham and arrived there at 12 o'clock, and was in formed that all was in readiness for us to join the husband, two children and two otner eiaters (Mrs. Bettie Galling, of Rich mond, and Miaa Laura Young, who was living with Mrs. batter wtme) in accom panying tne remains to their final resting place at Henderson. Prior to our leaving on the 4 o'clock tram witn the remains a short service was held at the residence of her hubband, wnich was largely attended by many North Carolinians and others now residing in Washington, an account of wnich, seut us by Hon. E. W. Turner, is printed below. Right here let us thank the Washing ton friends for kindnesses shown the de ceased and her afflicted family as well as ourselves, and for the great sympathy ex pressed aud sno w n tne oerea ved. At 4 : 40 o'clock we lett Wasnington on our sad mission and made the tirst prolonged stop at Richmond, where Mr. Walter Uatling, the Husband of Mrs. Galling, and several other friends were in waiting to condole with the mourners. Mr. Galling, who is chief cook at the A. C. L. restaurant, had prepared a nice lunch for the mourners, whicn wad served by Mr. Russell Nichol son aided by Mr. William Hill, the head waiier. We then departed for Hender son, where we arrived at 1 o'clock A. H., and waa met at the depot by Hon, M. M. Peace,Mestra I. J. Youug, G. W.Claiborne, Jacob Hunt and others. The mourn ers were taken to the home of Hon. M. M. Peace, where he and bis amiable wife did all in their power to console them in their affliction, for which we return sin cere thanks. The funeral was to have oc crred ai one o'clock but was delayed about half an hour awaiting the arrival of the Raleigh, train, on wnicu Mies MauUeYoung who was accompanied by Prof. W. F. Debnam and his little daughter Irma, came. They brought two line floral trib utes, sent by Mrs. bettie E. Young and Mrs. Martha Bemery. Long before the hour tor the tuneial, people oegan going to the large and spacious First Baptist Church of that town, whicn the deceased joined in her girlhood and for which she nad given many years of toil. For many years she taugut both public and private schools there, and the large congregation Contained many of both sexes, w no iu days past had bteu her loving and faithful scholars. The funeral was conducted by Rev. R. I. Walden, pastor of the church, assisted oy Kevs. J. A. Fuller and A. P. Eaton. The service began by singing by the cnoir and reading part of ihe xv. chap. 1st Cor. by ihe pastor, followed by prayer by Rev. J. A. Fuiier. After another song tne pastor took as his text the 5btn verse of tne chapter read in these words: "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadlast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of tne Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." Before beginning his sermon he read the following note banded to him by the family: "Mrs. Jennie L. Satterwhite, wife of Mr. Alex. L. Satterwhite, was born April 4, lbO 1 , and died April ii, 1897.. She visited her afflicted mother in this town in last September and after her return home has been Sick and steadily gi owing worse until it ended iu her death. Hei children, who Came with her at that time, have also been sick, and the youngest one of them died on March 2, 1&97, just one month prior to the dtain of its mother. Sne pro fessed religion and joined this church dur ing the year lb?5 aud was, up to ihe time of her removal to Washington City, a zealous, active and dutiful worker in the church and Uunday-schxl, and transfer red her same zeal, activity and dutif Ul ricas to the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, whose pastor, lie. W. K. Brooks, during the short ser vice held by him at her residence, bore living testimony to her Christian work. In conversing with her husband about dying she said that she was ready and willing to go and only regretted leaving him and the cnildren. He told her to give them up and look to the Lord, assuring her that they would do the best they can here. She trusted in God, and just before her death, while her husband was rubbing her feet, said: 'It is better now.' Her Christian life speaks for itself and was known of all wno knew her." He then spoke of the work at Garys burg, Weldon and Ring wood of the de ceased after her graduation at Shaw Uni versity and of the great satisfaction given by her at all places, and the high Chris tian character of the deceased. He paid a truthful tribute to the zeal and indus try displayed uy the deceased in working in church and Sunday-school for the Mas ter in ail places where she had been lo cated. He feelingly impressed the words of his text upon his hearers and urged them to labor as had done the deceased and with the same degree of faith evinced by her, knowing that it would not be in vain. He said the deceased was a firm believer in the Bible, and that the isms and seisms of these latter days did not dis turb or shake her faith in God. During the sermon the hearts of the people were moved, as expressed by their tears. After the sermon Rev. A. P. Eaton led in a touching and sympathetic prayer. During a song the casket was opened and the friends permitted to view the remains. The smile upon her face was as natural as in life. The remains were then borne to their last resting place, followed by what was termed one of the largest fu neral processions ever seen in the town of her nativity. She had been married a little over eight years, which had been so many years of happiness between her and her devoted husband. They loved each other as fondly as two children and were each wrapt up in the fond hope of being spared to bring up in the nurture and ad monition of God the three little offsprings with which their union had been blessed. The husband and two children (one of six the other of four years of age) returned to Washington last Wednesday, accompa nied by an aunt of the husband, who will help him to bring up the little ones. In addition to the brother and sister before named as being present, three other broth ers, viz, Ike, Robert and Willie also at tended. The pall-bearers at Henderson were: G. W. Claiborne, Lisbon Sneed, O. W. Outlaw, Charles Hughes, Haywood Cook and Sherman Davis. . There are doubtless many omissions in this article, but it is the best we can do under the circumstances. This is the hardest task that we have been called upon to perform in our four years of jour nalism, and we must be pardoned for any seeming neglects or omissions. The be reaved husband and other members of the family take this method of sincerely thanking all friends for any courtesies shown during this trying ordeal, or for favors shown the deceased or any other of them. For the first time in over twenty years death has claimed one of the circle of nine children, and instead of complain ing let us remember that, " Weeping may continue for a night, but that joy cometh in the morning. " OBITUARY. Mrs. Jennie Yotjno Satterwhite. Amidst the busy avocations of life we pause, in obedience to Him who doeth all 1 hings well, to chronicle the death of Mrs. Jennie Young Satterwhite, the devoted wife of Alexander L. Satterwhite, sister of Hon. James H. Young, Mrs. Betty Gatling, and Miss Laura Young, who de parted this life aged about thirty six years at her residence. No. 1905 KSt. N. W., Washington, D. C, Friday, April 2, 1897, at 10:30 P. M. Mrs. Satterwhite came to this city six years ago from her native town, Henderson, N. C, and as sisted her husband in purchasing a beau tiful home in one of the most popular parts of the city, and by her many Chis tian and social virtues had formed a large circle of acquaintances and devoted friends; these, with her kind husband, two loving children, and the best medical skill, did all within human power to alle viate her suffering. All were convalescence., until the end came And her last fond, lingering look is given To the love she leans and then to Heaven, As if she would bier that love away To a purer world, and a brighter day. Sunday, the 4th instant, at 3 P. M., the family and friends of the deceased as sembled in the parlor. The devotional services were conducted by Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of the 19th St. Baptist Church. First, prayer; second, reading I. Cor. xv. chapter; third, prayer. After which, Dr. Brooks spoke of the life and character of the deceased her many noble deeds of kindness, and of her devotion to her husband and chil dren. He especially impressed upon the family to let this dispensation of God be a lesson to each one, and prepare to meet their affectionate wife, mother and sister in that heavenly land, just across the evergreen shore. As the funeral services were to be in Henderson, N. C, Monday at 1 P. M., the services at the residence were very con cise, and caused a sympathetic tear to fall from many sad hearts. The corpse was viewed by the family and friends present, and borne thence to the Pennsylvania Depot. At 4:40 P. M. they were carried on the Atlanta Special over the Seaboard Air-Line to Henderson, N. C. Those who accompanied the re mains were Mr. A. L. Satterwhite and two children, Hon. James H. Young, Mrs. Betty Gatling and Mies Laura Young. A host of friends were at the depot to bid farewell to all that is mortal of Mrs. Satterwhite, and wish the family God speed on their sad journey. The floral offerings were very appro priate, and were presented by Mrs. Sam uel W. Watson, Mrs. Lucy Morris, Mrs. R. D. White and others. Among those present were ex-Con gressman H. P. Cneatham, Messrs. H. C. Tyson, Paul J. Haley and son, C. J. Wil liams, F. L. Battle, E. W. Turner, F. U. Whitted, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Owens, Dr. J. H. Montgomery, Dr. D. P. Lane, Dr. Cabiness, Misses Jackson, Davis and Cusbord, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Ruffin, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel W. Watson, Mrs. Morris, Mr. and Mrs. George Branch, and many others, whose names we were not able to learn. When your correspondent with others viewed the train taking its departure with the corpse of one that we had learned to admire and respect, to the land of her nativity for final consignment to mother earth, we were persuaded to say God gives us ministers of love Which we regard not, being near; Death takes them from ua then we feel That angels have been with us here! As mother, sister, friend, or wife, They guide us, cheer us, soothe our pain; And when the grave has closed be tween Our hearts and theirs, we love in vain! E. W. Turner. Washington, D. C. The Late Wm. S. Mitchell. On last Thursday the colored portion of our community were called upon to follow to the cemetery the remains of friend William S. Mitchell. We say "friend" in the true acceptation of the word. Raleigh has lost one of her best and truest Negro citizens. We had known the deceased for many years, and had always recognized in him the traits that made a man and a gentleman; al ways courteous, kind and polite to all. The writer admired his walk and bearing never keeping company with the bad and vicious of his race, but treated all with a degree of respect which each de served, as he came in contact with them on the streets and in business life. We shall miss him on our streets as we go here and there in our various callings. Let the rising young men of the Negro race take his life in Raleigh as an exam ple, and then the feeling between the two races will be better for the life of Wil liam Mitchell in our midst. These lines are written by a white friend, who ad mired the quiet, gentlemanly life of the deceased. ' B. Mr. Frank Hooks leaves the city for Morehead City May 1st. The "boys" will regret very much to have Mr. Hooks leave them, especially those of the Ex celsior Club, of which he is a member. Rocky Mount Grits. Hon. George H. White passed through last Monday. Ex-Repre sentative W. W. Watson, of Whitakers, was also in the city same day. Miss Pollie Mackton was married to Mr. E. H. Wilkins, of Springhope, last Friday night. We wi?h for the contract ing parties a long and merry.life. Snap Shots, what do you mean when you say cash racket Barne's crew? Do you mean that the head has fell from the bucket after being so great ? Rocky Mount had another one of her triple marriages last Wednesday night. The contracting parties were Mr. W. H. Penny and Miss Florida A. Lindsey, Mr. James Taylor and Miss Katie Warsley. The following acted as waiters for Mr. Penny: Mr. Charlie Penny with Miss Eddie Pittman, Mr. William Wilson with Mies Rosa Gray, Mr. T. F. Gee with Miss Mary Joyner, Mr. Pompey Lindsey with Miss Alice Blount. Miss Blount was first maid, and Mr. Lindsey best man. Little Roea, the sister of the bride, played the wedding march. Rev. S. Hicks per formed the ceremony at 9 o'clock. At ten minutes after nine Mr. James Taylor and bride entered the church, accom panied by the following waiters: Mr. Charlie Reed with Miss Cora Taylor, Mr. Johnson Gregory with Miss Mollie Dancy, Mr. Westry Darden with Mif-s Ella Wes try, Mr. James Warsley with Miss Carrie Dancy, Mr. Frank Bryan with Miss Mil lie. Smith. Miss Smith was first maid and Mr. Bryan best man. Rev. S. Hicks officiated. The contracting parties then retired, Mr. Penny and party to the home of the bride, Mr. Taylor and party to the residence of Mr. M. M. Hines, where a grand reception was given to the invited guest. The presents were many and valuable. We extend to each our con gratulations and wish for them a pros perous and long life. Mr. Penny and bride left for Smithfield Thursday. On Thursday night Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb were not united in the holy bonds of matrimony, so Master Plummer Arm strong said when he read the ordinance, and actiDg as the minister. Mr. Tom Thumb was Master Walter Holland and Mr. Tom Thumb was little Miss Mary Lee Austin. The exercises just before the false marriage was very creditable indeed for the little people, and shows that Rev. D. H. Kelly is doing some good work in our community. We fail to get the names of the waiters for this occa sion, but will give them in our next grits. Doctor Deans spoke very feelingly ou the occasion, and made many illustrations as to the advantages our boys and girls had in America. On Friday night the young men of the Atlantic Coast Line Hotel gave one of the grandest banquets ever witnessed in Rocky Mount in honor of Mr. James Taylor and bride. The Masonic Hall was beautifully decorated, and in the center hung the initial "A. C. L.,n made up of a variety of colors. The ball was por tioned off, where the west end was made a dining-room with a capacity of twenty four seats. Here was spread all of the delicacies for the inner man. At half past ten o'clock Prof. I. D. Hargett de livered the toast, and Mr. Haywood Hunter and Mr. S. F. C. Hester responded. Mr. J. R. Johnson then announced ice cre&m. Mr. P. L. Edwards, in full dress suit, announced supper, after which Mr. C. C. Mclntyre, fcecretary, seated the guesrs by roll call. Mesers. S. P. Faison and H. D. Richardson serve the guests in high style. The following were the in vited party: Mr. and Mrs. James Ses soms, Mr. Frank Bryan with Miss Emma Thurber, Prof, and Mrs. I. D. Hargett, Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Hines, Mr. B. Raw lins with Mirs Ella Westry, Mr. C. E. Spicer with Miss Theodosia Horne, Mr. J. R. Johnson with Miss Alice Blount (Miss Blount did not attend), Mrs. Jos. Nichols, Mr. Edmond Taylor with Miss Laura Davis, Mr. Charlie Bryan with Miss Mattie Drake, Mr. Haywood Mills with Miss Lula Jones, Mr C. W.

Armstrong, Mr. Willie Battle with Mies Lena Taylor, Mr. James Warely with Miss Carrie Dancy, Mr. Charlie Davis with Miss Mollie Dancy, Mr. John son Gregory with Miss Millie Smith, Mr. S. P. Faisou with Miss Rosa Gray. All honor is due to this club; they capped the climax. Messrs. P. L Edwards and C C. Mclntyre spared no pains in their efforts. Mrs. Hester, Sloan, Sessoms, Armstrong and Eason were lady aids to the club. W.S. A. In Memoriam of W. S. Mitchell. Courteously Inscribed by L. A. O'K. Brown to Mrs. Ida Mitchell. Dead! the word echoes, oh! sad in our heart! Dead! the sound falls on the ear; Dead! the words pierce thro our souls like a dart! Dead! and they loved him so dear; Dead! no, the echo itself is too cold Fallen asleep in His arms; Garnered, so safely, he's housed .in the fold, Saved from earth's dangers and harm. Out of the world and away from the strife, Out of the chaotic gloom, Into a purer and holier life, Where there's ample room; Out of the fierce, raging conflict below, Out of darkness and sin, Into the light where His mercies o'erflow, Safely he's entered in. Free from earth's sorrows, loosed from -its pain; Where no dark trials molest, O'er life's billowy, surging wide main, Into the harbor of rest. Ah ! thus it is that the hearts we love best, Slip from our grasp and are gone, Leaving us stricken and sorely distressed, Weening in sadness alone. Can we not give the fond treasures we love, Up to the Savior, so dear Knowing He'll keep them in safety above, Until we shortly appear? Can we not feel that His All-seeing eye, Vigils in joy or in pain, Sees He and hears He the widow's sad cry? None to Him e'er plead in vain! Oh! weeping heart, do thou sorrow no more; There is a balm for thy grief Lean on God's love, it is more than earth's lore; He'll surely give thee relief. Let not the star of thy trusting grow dim, Faint let no more grow thy heart, Surely, again, thou shall see and greet him, - Where thou shalt nevermore part. AtRaTh Hall. Wilmington, N. C. There will be a grand spring exhibition given at Ruth Hall on Monday, April 12, by St. Stephen's Sunday-school choir, to gether with the other choirs of the city. The singing birds will be turned loose on this occasion. Prop. C. W. Williams, Manager. Notes From Elizabeth City. Elizabeth City, N. C, March 3, 1897. Mr. Editor: Allow me, through the columns of your paper, to apprise the pub lic of the fact that Roanoke Institute is no longer a speculation or a dream. Its past was a prayer, its present Is a reality and its future a diadem. When the suave, the complaisant, the eloquent Rev. M. W. D. Norman resigned the Theological Chair at Shaw University he remarked to his many friends who, with reluctance, part ed from him, the great good which he be lieved might be done on behalf of the people of Eastern North Carolina: "If some one would take upon himself the weighty responsibility of leadership, not for the celebrity which might be attained after years of struggle, failures, disap pointments and hardships; not for the pelf which might be secured, for there is none, but for the edification of humanity, for the betterment of the race." As the lamented Joseph C. Price was so valiantly leading his people when death ushered him into the sweet beyond, Moses W. D. Norman has been given to us and may well be styled the Joshua" of Eastern North Carolina, for only six months since Roanoke Institute opened its first session under the presidency of this worthy gen tleman, formerly Dean of the Theological Department of Shaw University. Tnere being two normals already in the city only three teachers were at that time em ployed, viz, Prof. A."G. Dunstan, a prac tical and up-to date teacher; Mies L. V. Payte, a graduate of Hartshorn Memorial College and of the Missionary Depart ment of Shaw, and Mrs. Fannie Bridgers Norman, a lady of mental superiority, a most artistic pianist and an alumnus of Shaw. News of the formal opening of the new Institute was heralded through out the adjacent counties and the excel lent reputation of the teachers, together with that magnetic personality of its president, brought in students from the " highways and hedges." The result ex ceeded the expectation of the trustees and the sanguine hope of its ardent friends. "Still tney come" was the by word until another teacher was found an absolute necessity, to fill which need Miss Minnie O'Kelly, a very accomplished young lady of the V. N. and C. Institute, was ap pointed. Later on a demand upon the part of the public came that the inetitu tion make some provision to accommo date those whose occupations prevented their attendance during the day, in satis faction of which the trustees established an evening school and elected as its prin cipal J. Wilson Holley, Esq., of Howard University, an efficient and painstaking scholar and a young star whose legal re pute, though in its incipiency, is destined to light up the whole world around it. Thus equipped the Roanoke Institute flourishes. To obviate the difficulty usu ally encountered in evening schools by reason of the irregular attainments of those attending this school, was dividt d into primary and high-echool work, the high-school embracing the sciences, lan guages and higher mathematics. Tne primary comprising intermediate and primary work. The observation of the public has been a keen and careful one and the conclusion reached is that Roan oke Institute is doing a grand and mighty work. Such a work that the hour has arrived when the outside world well needs be informed of its wonderful achievements, and Shaw University, the beloved alma mater, of a portion i f it faculty, may know that some of ber brightest jewels bedeck this fair city of ours. It may be well to state that next session a dormitory will be attached, and the Institute will be transformed into a Seminary for the training of young wo men. Let us hope that when this step is taken cur girls will avail themselves of such an excellent opportunity and en deavor to make their lives nobler and bet ter and purer and holier by the sweet in fluence brought to bear from this Institu tion. Youts for the success of the race generally, L. A. O'Kelly Brown. Rocky Mount Grits. Mrs. P. L. Edwards returned home last Sunday night.- She and Madam Lucile are always welcome to our city. The proper thing for Raleigh to have is the Hon. James H. Youcg for post master. Watch hi en; he is a corker. Hon. Isaac H. Smith is sparing no time, but pushing forward for the posi tion he is applying for. We sincerely hope he and Mr. Dancey can reach terms satisfactory to each. We are glad to note that Mrs. Peter Darden is out again. The N. P. A., we think, in some in stances, is being badly misrepresented. For instance, a man is told to pay ten dollars and he would get a horse and buggy from headquarters. We withhold the names of parties or victims until further investigation. The following names of students are on the roll of honor of Mrs. Rosa Gray's school: Bessie Sessoms, Eonis Sessoms, Lula Gray, Chester Hill, Jessie Battle, Roberta Bjddie, Mamie Battle. Mr. L. L. Battle went to Tarboro last Monday in regard to his suit now pend ing against the K. of L. property. We dropped in at our old friend James Sessoms' store last week and found him . selling his stock right along on the Mo Kinley prosperity. Mr. Sessoms now carries a five thousand dollars stock, the largest of any colored man we know. He invites every one to give him a trial for a bargain. He is a young roan whom our people are proud of. He is a corner stone for his race in this community. He is always ready to help those whom he thinks deserve it. We repeat that our people are proud of him. Every one should patronize him. W. S. A. A Day on the Neuse. The young men of the College Depart ment of Shaw University, In company with the young ladies of that depart ment, Dr. Roberts, Prof. Bruce, Miss Brown, Miss Murry, and others, spent last Friday on the Neuse. The left the University grounds between 10 and 11 o'clock, and reached the Neuse about 12.30. Dinner was prepared as quickly as possible, since those who went out on their "bikes" were especially in sympathy with that part of the exercise. There was plenty for all; however, there did not remain twelve baskets full, in view of the fact that Prof. Bruce and Miss C. N. S. were present. The afternoon was enjoyed by all. Some fished, some played different games, some went out rowing, and others looked on and enjoyed the sports. The department is indebted to Messrs. W. A. Jones, Edmead and others for their service in preparing everything for the real pleasure of alL State Convention Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. Charlotte, if. C, April 23-25, 1897. The State Convention of Young Peo pie's Society of Christian Endeavor will meet in Cbarlotre, N. C, the Queen City of North Carolina, on April 23-25, and for the accommodation of delegates and visitors to this occasion the Southern Railway will place on sale round-trip tickets from all stations in the State of North Carrlina to Charlotte and return at reduced rates. Tickets on sale April 21st, 22d and 23d, final limit Aprl 27th, continuous passage in each direc tion, thus affording a splendid oppor tunity to visit Charlotte, N. C.

"One's enemies are sure to put on exhi bition the things that will injure him. Envy, jealousy and prejudice are always active; they are swift-footed angels; they are glib-tongued angels; they think, speak and act whether you pay them or not. They are always ready to speak a bad word againBt you and to put your bad side on exhibition." Hon. James H. Young comes in for a frhare of the venomous spleen of the Ral eigh Tribune. We have differed from him on many questions of public policy, and still differ, yet we feel that prominent Negroes, though they may not endorse the course of their associates, should go slow in denouncing them for white men who are seeking position with their own race. Prof. Ed. L. Thornton is cne of the most brilliant men in Washington City from North Carolina. He is an admirer of his State and delights in its representa tive men. Just as we expected. The Associated Press is fulsome in its praise of the maiden effort of Hon. Geo. H. White on the tariff bill. We venture the prediction that he will make his mark, as did the immortal R. Brown Elliot, of South Carolina. We have a giant in intellect in the National Congress. The Negroes and white men should be up and dointr for his return to the next Congress. O'Hara commanded the respect of the first men of the nation bo will White. The Civil Service law is a barrier to re movals f 10m or appointments to the pub lic service. The Congressman from this district is anxious for repeal of the law. Miss M. D. Faithful returned from a visit to Plymouth last Saturday. Abolishing of third-grade cirtificatea should serve as a stimulus to these who would make higher marks of percentage. Too many educational quacks want the bars let down so as to run out those who have by sacrifice prepared them selves for the profession. Good county boards is the need of every county. Mn of educational training should be selected, and not party training. Queer things are happening nowadays. The men who were intensely Republican a few months ago are now getting Demo cratic signatures to petitions for office. This writer does not object, but simply reminds our iron-clad party men to be consistent. We are where we have ever bsen for those who were for the Negro, irrespective of party. Hon. Henry P. Cheatham is moving the earth to be Register of the Treasury. Our J. H. Hannon is more of a hustler for others than for himself, hence the hustling Dancey outwitted him. But White is a " honey." Bishop Benj. W. Arnett is a hustler of real force. Sixty-five thousand dollars was given to North Carolina as a cam paign fund, which was spent in Central and Western North Carolina. As a re sult Bryan received the electoral vote. Therefore the Recordership will not come to North Carolina, but may go to Henry Y. Arnett, who. hails from Ohio. Dr. James E. Shepherd may be classed as North Carolina's new man to the front. We admire his ambition and get up and go Mrs. George H. White has returned to Tarboro. Bishop Turner, like all sensible colored men, has set himself right on bis editorial in the Voice of Missions. All of us are ready to clasp hands with the belter ele ment of the white race in the Sou'b. We take pleasure in quoting what the Troy, N. Y., Daily Times says respecting North Carolina's Negro Congressman. Mr. White, of North Carolina, who, notwithstanding his name, is the only colored Representative in the House, made an effective speech. His address moved the galleries, as well as his col leagues, to applause, and demonstrated the oratorical capacity of his race, and also that the party of slavery and the party of free trade are one. When he said that the Democratic party was in favor of everything free but "free bal lots and free niggers," I is remark bad historic truth as well as epigrammatic neatness. Of the aspiring public men, James H. Young is the ideal man of the people, for he has shown loftiness of mind and be coming dignity in remaining away from Washington. We have some other dis tinguished North Carolina lawyers who possess representative ability, and Late remained at tome for awhile, until the professional piehunters are out of the way. Senator Pritcbard sighs for relief. Rev. A. A. Crooke has had a glorious revival of religion at Beaufort, N. C. Thirty conversions and eighteen joined the church. The distinguished A.M. E. Zion pastor of Washington, D. C, in his attack on the masterly correspondent of the Star of Zion. Prof. W. F. Fonville, Principal of the Newbern Graded School, shows that the ministry is now going to the depths of the teard politician in seeking to crush an opponent. Ye men of Ath ens! degeneration is the characteristic of our latter-day apostles of race elevation. Pig-sty arguments are the stock in trade of inspired "Reverends." Our sympathies are extended to Mr. Young in the death of his sister. The country population crowded into the "Boro" to see Lee hanged. He has an appeal before the Supreme Court for a new trial. Djrsey Battle, Esq., the great criminal lawyer of the county, will aid Gilliam, should a new trial be granted. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. C. Dancy, sympathize with them in the loss of their son Charlie. There is light beyond the clouds. Mrs. E. E. Smith and Mrs. J. J. Scott were chaperons at the Brooks-Wassom banquet given in the Hub-city of Golds boro, N. C. Miss Delia White was too unwell to leave for the banquet. The favored of Tarboro's social life were Misses P. P. Newton, Emma L. Lewis, Cora L. Caine, Delia White, Richard F. Eppes and Mrs. Eppes. We regret that the men who were ex pected to be stalwart in their demands for place and power for the race, were the first to show the " white feather." Many a many has been caught by following the leadership of such turn-coats. Snap Shots has ever been ready to for ward any great movement for race ad vancement. The best people of both races in North Carolina should aUign themselves togeth er for the common weal of the 8tate. We repeat the heading of our last week's letter: Every one, though poor and humble, Has a mission to fulfill; Every hand, though small and feeble, Can work out some good or ill. ESEB QUAM VlDERI. Tarboro, N. C, April 4, 1897. Ber. J. W. Wood. To whom this may concern : This is to certify that the charge per petuated against Rev. J. W. Wood, con cerningnoney deposited in the Weldon Bank, has been thoroughly investigated and found false. The pastor, J W. Wood, stands fair with the church. O. Jones, Kino Kino, W. H. Mason, Abbam Chambers, Emmit W. Edmonds, Sed. Jackson. De icons of Gaster Church. Emmit W. Edmonds. Church Clerk. At Cox's Memorial Church, corner East Street and Newbern Avenue, a grand Easter entertainment will be given, Eas ter Monday evening, April 18th. Don't forget it. Weldon 5otes. Editor of the Gazette: It may perhaps interest some of your readers to know just what Is .going on in Weldon and vicinity. Just across the Roanoke Is a quaint little town, called Garysburg, and on its suburbs l)r. R. I. Waldron has es tablished an institution of learning, whicn for nineteen years has been doing a noble work for the benefit of our people. It was the pleasure ofyour correspondent to at tend on last Friday evening the Com mencement exercises of this school, and 1 had no conception of the magnitude of the work Dr. Wailron was doing. The exercises consisted of orations, recita tions, dialogues, 'etc., and showed evi dence of great ' mental training. The school has grown rabidly the past few years, and the buildings are not large enough now to accommodate the stud-ns.- In an address to the acbool and visi tors Friday evening Dr. Waldrcn stated that arrangements were being made for the erection of a large building on a beau tiful site bet j the pchool. donated by himstlf and, 'f ife. Gen. Ransom, who lives close by, has signified his Intention of making a hand.-ome contribution for this purpose. If some of the noble-hearted philanthropists of the North could but know with what uncelfitthness Dr. Wal dron has labored, and the obstacles he has tncoumered in building up this tchool, thy would recognizf the fact that it woyld be a worthy objtt for their char? it. V N Weldon is agitattd from centre to cir cumference at this time on the question of bridging the Roanoke. The last Legis lature parsed a bill allowing the people to vote on the issuance of bonds for its construction. Sentiment is divided1 on the feasibility of the plan, some claiming that it would necessitate to high a rate of taxation, and others claiming that this would be offset by the advantages of out side trade. If your correspondent is any judge of the temper of the people the scheme to build the bridge will be over whelmingly defeated. W. S. MITCHELL. Our people in this section, and especial ly the readers of the Gazette, were shocked to hear of the death ol nolle hearted ' Bill" Mitchell. He was generous t a fault, ar:d was loved and respected by all who knew him. He was my friend, and t ) those who know how feeble mere words are to express the feelings of a sorrowing heart they will appreciate my position. He was a bold and vigorous writer, and having an acute knowledge of what was advantageous to the race, he never hesitated to tell them through the columns of the Gazette. He will come no more. Brave, generous noble-hearted spirit, farewell farewell. R. J. Perky. Willard, N. C, March 21, 1897. Dear Editor: Please allow a little space in your valuable columns, that we may inform your many readers of our work in this section. Last Sabbath was a day of joy and gladness.

All the public schools have closed, and the teachers are now looking after their strawberry blossoms, and if ye editor and staff will stop over a few weeks hence, we can give you a straw-cake.
