MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, '87
Hev. Dr. Yatetj.
The Temple of Israel was densely
packed at yesterday morning's ser
vice to hear Rev. Dr. Yates, of Grace
M. E. Church, in his farewell ser
mon to the flock of which he has
been the faithful and beloved pas
tor for the last four years.' Dr.
Yates took for his text the last verse
in the Bible, as follows:
'The Grace of Our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you all. Amen.-'
Nothing contained in all the sa
cred pages could have been more
touchingly appropriate. It was a
benediction upon a flock with whom
the speaker had earnestly labored.
He had been with them in joy and
sorrow, at the christening of the
babe and by the bedside of the dy
ing and had said the last sadly im
pressive words that consigned the
remains of the loved one to the cold
and silent grave. He had shared
with the grief and had offered con
solation tothe heart-broken mourn
er. He spoke tenderly of the sym
pathy which had been extended to
him in his troubles. The burning
of Front Street Church was dwelt
upon with singular pathos, which
brought tears to the eyes of many
of the congregation. In speaking
of the loss to Grace M. E. Church,
occasioned by the deaths of Col. C.
L. Grafflin and Capt. W. M. Parker,
the speaker, as well as a large por
tion of the congregation, manifested
deep emotion. He prayed heaven's
choicest blessings upon our Israelit
ish friends who had so generously
and kindly tendered the use of their
temple for the church which he re
presented. Dr. .Yates will take with him, to
his new field of labor, the love' and
esteem, not only of the church of
which he has been the pastor, but
of the entire community. He has
been seen but little upon our
thoroughfares in our places of busi
ness, but his Christian acts and de
meanor, together with his affable
and kindly manners, have -won the
profound regard of all, and the wish
is universal that his life may be
spared for many years, aud that his
labors of usefulness may be crowned
witrj a complete success.
It was expected that Dr. Yates
would preach his last sermon here
yesterday, Jbut as Rev. Mr. Creasy,
the new. pastor, will not arrive here
until the 28th inst.r--he has kindly
consented to preach a Christmas
sermon for Grace M. E. Church next
Sunday.
Suicide ofa Colored Woman.
Lucy Smith, colored, aged 41
years, committed suicide between
the hours of 5 o'clock and 0 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, at her resi
dence on ; Eighth street, between
Orange "and -Ann," by shooting her
self through the head with a pistol.
She had recently returned from New
York, and had been in poor health
for some time. Yesterday she told
her sister that she did not feel well
enough to attend church, and re
mained at home. When her sister
returned from church Lucy was not
to be found and it was supposed
that she had gone to some of the
neighbors, until it was ascertained
that the door leading into her room
was locked, when a search was in
stituted and she was at last found
in a closet, dead, with the pistol
clutched in her hand. She had shot
herself, through the head. Coroner
liiller was notified and this morning
he summoned a jury of inquest who
returned a verdict that the deceased
came to her death from a pistol shot
wound inflicted by her hand. The
husband of the deceased Is a sailor
and recently sailed from here , to
3altimofepwhere he now is.

Christmas Festiral.
The Busy Bees, connected with
St. John's Church, a society of chil
dren, will give an entertainment at
the City Hall next Thursday after
noon, which will be a pleasant and
unique atiair. The price of admis
sion has been fixed at the nominal
sum of ten cents, but there will be
an abundance of pretty, interesting
and amusing things to see at the
Hall, free of any extra charge. Of
these we may mention "Punch and
Judge" and the "Colored Family,"
as being features that will afford
much amusement, especially to the
young people. There will be a long
list of articles on sale, the handi
work of the Busy Bees, which will
be both useful and ornamental, and
these articles will be sold at prices
ranging from one cent to twenty-five
c?nts. There will be no high-priced
goods save a very few that have
been donated and no exhorbitant
prices for cheap goods. There will
also be an abundance of excellent
refreshments at reasonable prices,"
and the management will spare no
pains to mUke the occasion one of
the most interesting and enjoyable
of the season. The object of the
entertainment is for the benefit of
the Thompson Orphanage, a most
noble institution at Charlotte, N. C
City Court.
There was quite a docket for the
Mayor's consideration this morning
as the following will show:
Henry Watson, colored, assault
and battery. The testimony show
ed that he was guilty and the judg"
ment of the Court was that he pay
a fine of $10 or work in the chain
gang 20 days.
Alice Reed, continued until Wed
nesday morning, and judgment nisi
with a fine of $10 entered against
Ed. Miller, an absent witness.
Win. Simpson, colored, disorderly
conduct and insulting an officer. He
was anold offender, although young
in years, and a most incorrigible boy,
Judgment as suspended in the lat
ter charge and a fine of $20 or 30 days
in the chain gang was the sentence
in the former case.
S. B. Frilsom, a young tramp from
England, was furnished with a police
escort outside the city limits.
Bill Howe, R. Herring, G. Land"
ers, J. Brown, G. Greene, J. Epps,
J. Leonard, G. McKoy, Z. Howe,
W. Love, Bill Jones, I. Ivory and J.
Outlaw, all colored, were arrested
early yesterday morning on the
charge of gambling at the place, of
the first-named defendant, in the
4.
Northeastern limits of the city. Mr.
J. D. Bellamy, Jr., appeared in be
half of all the defendants and at his
request the consideration of the
case was postponed until next Wed
nesday morning. A justified bond
in the sum of $."50 for each of the de
fendants was required, and that
being furnished they were liberated.

The Star of Bethlehem.
A friend at Magnolia writes us
for some particulars relatvei to the
appearance of the Star of Bethle
hem. He says that some of our
readers in his town are disposed to
look upon the matter as a joke and
wants to know if this is really the
star which guided the wise men of
the East to the manger wherein the
infant Messiah lay cradled. We can
only answer that according to the
astronomers, the star now visible .in
the East is the veritable Star of
Bethlehem; that it is visible any
morning not far from Venus, the
morning star at this season, and
that this is its first appearance since
the year 1573. There is no joke any
where about it.

Charlotte Chranible: The recepts
of cotton at Charlotte from Septem
ber 1, to December 17, 1887. were 16,
862 bales, against 16,613 bales for the
same period in 1886, and 23, 322 for
the same period in 1885. The receipts
yesterday were 122 bales. Fifty
dollars were realized from the chil
dren's entertainment at the Char
lotte Female Institute last Friday
evening. Of this amount $25 was
given to the Thompson- Orphanage
in this city, and $25 to the Thorn
well Orphanage, in South Carolina.
At a meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, held on last Friday
nie'ht, fifteen new members were
admitted. A very interesting dis
cussion was had in reference to more
railroad facilities, more factories of
various kinds and more competition
in freights and cotton.. Char
lotte is sure of. two new cotton fac
tories by next spring. One is to be
built,as a irivate enterprise, and
the other by subscriptions. It is
said that two others will be built
during the year 1888. A well posted
man yesterday told our reporter
that at least four new factories will
be in operation in Charlotte before
the end of 1888. This is solid infor
mation, and not mere rumor.
