C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 84 1905. No. 13 1 ll fff Iff W. - MR. BAQBY'S ADIEU Rev. W.. M. Bagby who has been pastor of Washington street M. E. church for three years preached to a large congregation yesterday. This was his last Sun day as pastor of the church, be cause he will request a change, for the reason as ' he stated Sunday that he thought he could do more good elsewhere. Mr. Bagby's re marks were confined to his leave-, taking and embodied some good, wholesome advice to the members of the church. f The talk was made with love and made an im pression on all. During Mr. Bag bv's administration the church has grown largely in every direc tion. During the past year, over 120 members have been added to the church nearly 100 of these by profession. Mr. Bagby made os a good citi 1 zen and we regret to lose him. He is a man of strong convictions courageous and independent for the rifirht. He hvs also added greatly to the material prosperity tof the town, setting on foot enter crises valued at many thousand dollars all of which are more than self sustaining. The Enterprise wishes him well in his new home which of course will be temporary because we claim him as a citizen of High Point. VALUABLE PURCHASE The Enterprise understands that Mr. R. A. Wheeler has pur chased f 100 acres of land in the suburbs of Salisbury. The Enterprise did not learn in what way, but Mr. Wheeler wll put this valuable property on the 1 morVot as nnnn as it can be sub divided into town lots. But what ever his way of doing it may be our friends in Salisbury can rest assured that it will be done in a broad minded spirit and the people who deal with him will get square deal all right. If be shows the Salisbury people" something new they need not be surprised for he has been quoted by this and other papers of the State as to be depended on to find new paths in the forest of business.

A special to the Journal and Tribune from Middlesboro, Ky. , tells of a reign of terroi in the border line city that threatens to rival in vio lence the bloody feuds of Breathitt county. The Middlesboro militia company spent Sunday afternoon in the mountains after a lawless gang, said to be headed by one Frank Ball, wanted for the mur der of John Bolen, a barber. Bal is reported to have with him a crowd of at least forty men, who who intend to resist his arrest to the last. Four miles from Middlesboro, the soldiers today attacked a blind tiger establishment and riddled it with steel bullets, and succeeded in capturing nine of the men. Re turning to town; a roll call of the company showed the absence of three mn, whose whereabouts are not known. Tonight the town is compara tively quiet, but all the telegraph wires have been cut and the only news that can get out of there is by telephone. Governor Beck ham has been asked to send more soldiers, and another company is expected tomorrow, as the local ma'itiamen are worn out by con stant duty of the past three days. The Middlesboro company is in charge of Captain Geo. W. Al brecht, a leading citizen who, np to September 1, was editor of the Middlesboro News. Secrecy is preserved by both citizens and soldiers, and it is reliably reported that the' Western Union operator has been warned not to send out news of the disturbance to any paper.

LYCEUM NOTES I noticed in yesterday's Talent, the Lyceum magazine, an extend ed write-up or history of the Tem ple Male Quartette from 1868 to the present and a most interesting history it was. It has even been during these years a banner Quar tette. Its present personel is the best of its history. We are fortunate in having this excellent Quartette in our course j this year. Note, the season opens Nov. 16 with Geo. Waverly Briggs. an orator of marvelous power and a man of rare gifts. "His audience laughs as hearti ly at one moment as they at an other moment weep in sympathy at oneot tbose stories which make the whole world kin. His powers of portrayal are rare indeed, and his audience sees with him the scenes his fancy pictureB." Mld- dletown, (O.) signal.
