Church, Snuih, was held in the Stind ly School r m of said church j last Wednesday tnlit. A larger j per cent. ' "i the ulficial members than usi.ji attended the Conier enee, a J the reports indicated that encouraging progress had j been made during the year. The i salary of the presiding elder has i been paid Quarterly, and that of the pastor has been paid monthly, and all other finances of the chargi were found to be in better condi tion than ever before. The report of the pastor on "the general state of the church" clearly indicated that the church was in good condi tion and making encouraging prog ress. Among other things the re port stated that exactly eighty per sons had united with this church since the present pastor came to the charge a year ago last Decem ber, and that the present member ship of the church is 293. Father of R. W. Coub Sees Governoh. Interceding for the life of his son, R. W. Cobb, con demned to die in the electric chair in the State's prison on December 12, J. L. Cobb, of Norfolk, had a conference with Governor Locke Craig Thursday. This was not the first time the heart-broken fath er has been to the executive office in behalf of his "boy" who faces death in expatiation of the murder of Thomas Shaw, the farmer-merchant of Halifax county who was shot to death and robbed at the threshold of his country home in the darkness on the night of May 3rd. R. W. Cobb, in a notable trial in Halifax Superior court, was convicted of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to be elec trocuted. An appeal was taken to the Supreme court, but the judgment of the lower court was confirmed. There is little prospect of executive clemency, but the father has not given up the fight nor abandoned hope. To him it is certain that his "boy" committed no cold blooded murder. If he actually did commit murder, he did not so intend he did it not with premeditation or malice afore thought. Such is bound by nature to be the father's view.

Coburn's Greater Minstrels. There is life, diversion, and en joyment in a clean first-class Min stel show found in no other line of theatrical entertainment. The music, the bright lights, the beauti ful costuming of the up 10 date, modern companies, together with the sweet singing of male voices, the dancing, the jokes and (he rol licking songs of the end men, com bined wiiii the Ensemble numbers and Novelty Vaudeville, inter spersed with the entirely charac teristic plantation and old time lu dicrous creations of time honored "Minstrel" ideas, furnish a pro gram and an evening covering every line of popular amusement. The people want the Minstrel Show. There are very few relia ble attractions of this character now left in America. One of the most popular is J. A. Coburn's Greater Minstrels which will show at the New Batchelor Theatre for one night, Tuesday, November 25th. Don't miss it. You all know them, have known them for years.

He was a Mason of high degree, a Knight Templar and Shriner and his remains were laid at rest with ! Templar honors, quite a large num ber of Knight Templars, in full uniform, taking part in the burial service. The funeral was held at Grace Episcopal church, Monday after noon at half past three o'clock, conducted by the rector of the par ish, Rev. Albert New, the choir rendering several beautiful and ap propriate hymns. The duet by Mrs. R. S. Travis and Miss Mary New was particularly touching and beautifully rendered. Knight Templars were here from Enfield, Halifax, Scotland Neck, Thelma and other points who join ed in with the Weldon Templars in making a splendid turnout of brethren who esteemed him in life and paid tribute to him in death, with honors at the grave in Cedar wood cemetery, where the Masons and Knight Templars had charge of the burial service which was impressive. To the bereaved widow the sym pathy of the entire community goes out in full measure. Her brother, John Morgan, of Chicago, arrived here in time for the burial and to stand by his sister in her hour of trial. Had Its Birth at Whitakkk's CHAPEL. The Nonh Carolina Conference Methodist Protestant Church convened in its eighty eighth session in the Main Street Methodist Protestant church, High Point, N. C, on Wednesday, No vember 19. This will be a gath ering of about two hundred Meth odist people and promises to be a very important conference. This, the oldest conference in the denomination, had its birth in Whitaker's Chapel, Halifax coun ty, December 28, 1 828. There were eight ordained prreachers, and twelve lay delegates present. There were at that time only three pastoral charges. While this con ference is only eigluy-hve years old this is its eighty-eighth session This is to be accounted for from the lact that there were two con ferences in each of the years 1829, 1836, 1842. This conference now embraces the enure State of North Carolina and a small portion of each of the States of Virginia and South Carolina. Ii has membership of about 23,000. At this session an effort will be made to unite with the United Brethren Church, founded by Phillip William Otierbein, who began his ministry in the German Reform Church.
