A Sketch or Iter. Mr. 1earon.
Rev. R. G. Pearson was born In
Stark ville, Miss., and is therefore a
Southern man by birth and also in
principle. He received a full colle
giate education at the Cooper Insti
tute in Mississippi, and from there
he went to the Cumberland- Univer
sity at Lebanon, Term!. where he
graduated in the theological depart
ment in 1870. He then returned to
Mississippi, and, as his first pastor
ate, took charge of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church at Tupelo, in
that State. He retained the pastor
ate of this church for two year and
during that time ereoted a hand'
some church edifice and added many
to his congregation.
He was then called as pastor to
the Cumberlan Presbyterian church
at Columbia, Tenn., and during a
period of two yearsthat he remained
there he held a number of revivals
at which many were converted.
He was called to the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, of Nashville,
Tenn., as assistant pastor to the Rev.
A. J. Baird, with the understanding
that one-half of his time should be
devoted to evangelistic work After
one year of harmonious and satis
factory service in this capacity Mr-.
Pearson decided to devote himself to
evangel istie work entirely, and for
the past six years has devoted him
self constantly to that work. At first
his meetings were4tdenominational,7
but his labors were so blessed that
he received repeated invitations
from churches of all denominations
to hold "union" meetings, which in
duced him to conduct "non-denoini
national" meetings. During the time
he has been engaged in this work he
has labored in the following States:
Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, ill!
nois, Missouri, Colorado, Texas, Mis
sissippi aud Alabama, and in the
cities of Nashville, Evansville, St
Louis, Dallas, Memphis Yicksbnrg,
Raleigh and Newbern.
In 1878 Mr. Pearson married Miss
Bowen, of Oxford, Miss., who was
then a teacher in the Union Female
College, from which institution she
had previously graduated. Since her
marriage she has been a faithful and
efficient helpmeet to Mr. Pearson,
aiding him in his great work in a
quiet, womanly but effective manner
that has gained her the love and ad
miration of all who know her.
His manner in preaching's cntie-
ly free from all the claptrap and
trickery sometimes resorted to by
evangelists. He preaches the Gos
pel in a plain, but forcible and elo
quent style, as all who have attend
ed his meetings can testify, and he
seems to imbue his hearers with a
portion of his Own great earnestness
in the work he is doing.
Two years sinee he wras offered
the pastorate of Cumberland Pres
byterian church of Louisville, KyM
: but being deeply impressed with the
conviction that he was called of God
to do the work of an evangelist, he
declined the offer.
While he is a Cumberland Presby-'
terian himself, and believes in main
taining .church
work us far ai possible. : j
Th committee decided to have
the memorial exercises take place in
the Opera House, at. 8 p. mM on
Thursday, March 15th, as that is the
day on which the Kruperor wilLbe
buried. ; ." : " .
The members' of the committee
were much gratified at the kind of
fers made them by Capt. Permypack
er, and by Cupt. Daniels, of the
Light Infantry, and are glad to be
able to announce that the Light In
fantry. vill turn out in uniform and
thus help to honor the greatest mil
itary monarch of the 19th Century.
As the now dead Emperor and
also the living new Emperor are
both Masons, it is desired by the
committee that the various Masonic
Lodges of the city grace the occa
sion by their presence.
It was the unanimous wish of the
committee that Hon. Eduard Pes
chau, the German Imperial Consul,
be present, and so a committee of
honor was sent to wait upon him
and request his presence.
Col. F. W. Kerchner was chosen
Marshal of the day and will preside
at the meeting on Thursday night.
' The last meeting of the committee
will beheld at 8 o'clock to-night at
the Lutheran parsonage, to make
the final arrangements, and it is de-.
sired that all the members be present.

Pender County :Notes.
A friend at Burgaw sends us some
interesting nes from his locality.
He says that the people of that sec
tion are deressei as a consequence
of the cold wet weather We have
had" this. month: Just at this time
be' pushing its
round hut in
potatoes are rotting
iu the ground, and such vegetation
as has put out is being cut down and
withered by the cold. Early truely
ing in that, section has had a serious
setback this Spring. Strawberries
are entirely cut off by the frost but
the peach and apple crops promise
to be good. 1
Rev. Dr. Pritchard, of this city,
was in Burgaw- on Monday and got
caught there. ''He -had inteni led re
turning to the cityj that night ill
time for services here ' but us the
train was two hours'Jate he conclu
ded to -preach instead at Burgaw
Our correspondent does not apiei&:
to think very highly
at that place, which
pleted. He saj s that it cost the peo
ple $.,000, whereas a frame building,
to cost not more than 1,500 .$2,000
would have answered every purpose
required and been much more com
fortable. He does riot like the ar
rangement of the cells and says that
the brick are poor! and that the
building is badly constructed.
The measles are ) prevailinc all
over Pender county but are of the
same mild type as that which pre
vails here. With' proper care and
good nursing there need be no fatal
cases unless some of the doctors
die from overwork, j
Our correspondent thanks us in
very warm terms for; having in be
half of the people Of this section
nominated Maj. Stedman for Gov
ernor and asserts; thai: there is
searcely a man to be found in Pen-
