IEEE CLOSED HIS PASTORATE. The Rev. A. P. Tyer Preached His Fare well Sermon Qa Saodsy Committee Appelate to Draft Resolutions. The Bev. A. P. Tyer, pastor of Grace M. E. ijhurch, preached the closing sermon of his pastorate Sun day morning to a large and appre ciative congregation. He delivered a very earnest and impressive discourse on the text, "I beseech you, brethren, now mem wmcn labor among you." First The. V-12, IS. The importance of a congregation's know inr their pastor and a more intimate intercourse between pastor and people was the burden of his sermon. Mr Tyer spoke with apparent seriousness and the congregation was deeply af fected. He announced that he would probably leave to-morrow for Durham where he will succeed the Bev. J. N. Cole as pastor of Main Street M. E. Church, and that the Bev. Mr. Cole who is to succeed hira is expected here to morrow. The announcement was also made that there will be no prayer meeting service to morrow night but that the Junior Branch of the Epworth League will give an entertainment in the lec ture room Thursday night. No ad mittance will be charged but a collec tion will be taken for the objects of the league. Mr. Tyer has been pastor of Grace Church two years, and he has been an able, faithful pastor. His sermons have been characterized by original ity and forcefulness, and his departure will ba deeply regretted by the com munity as well as his congregation, by whom he is greatly beloved. At the meeting of the Sunday school on Sunday afternoon Dr. W. C. Gal loway spoke feelingly of the severance of the relations between the pastor and the Sunday school, and moved that a committee be appointed .to draft resolutions expressive of, the love borne him and regret that he is to leave for another field. Mr. J. H. Davis, superintendent the school, seconded the motion with remarks of affection for Mr. Tyer and expressions of appreciation of his work as pastor. The motion was unanimously adopt ed, and the committee appointed con sists of Dr. Galloway, Superintendent Davis, Mrs. W. H. Shaw, Mrs. J. F. Garrell and Mrs. W. M. Hankins. The Star is requested to state that the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Tyer are invited to a reception to be given this evening from 7.30 to 11 o'clock, at the parsonage, on Second and Walnut streets, by the ladies of Graoe M. E. Church. Heavy Express Shipments. With the advent of Christmas week Southern Express agents, clerks and the numerous other employes of this great system find, themselves face to face with the heaviest week's work of the year. The custom of gift giving during the Yule tide period is as old as the holiday itself and no transporta tion company comes in for a greater share of increased business than does the express system. Extra cars are now iu service on all trains from Wil mington and Capt Williams, the genial local agent here, has his office in trim for the week's business. A ittle consideration on the part of the public, he says, would greatly relieve the over-worked express people and at the same time ensure for themselves a more prompt and efficient service. For instance, all packages should be marked before they are sent to the of fice and in no event should the ad dress be attached by a tag, which dur- ingthe crush is almost sure to be torn off and the package probably lost. Blank receipts may be secured from the drivers of the wagons and should be filleJ out beforehand so as to avoid delay. There are many little things. which if considered by the public, would greatly lessen the perplexities of agents, messengers and others dur ing this period. Msmtnoth Factory. Messrs. Mercer & Evans advertise this morning new arrivals of the fa mous Douglas, Dutenhofer and Jen ness Miller shoes, of which they have exclusive sale in Wilmington. Of the W. L.

The Douglas people say that their drummers have increased sales 30 per cent, and that when the factory starts up the day after Christ mas it will run on an output of 400 dozen pairs per da, with a weekly pay roll of $20,000. When completed the Douglas factory will have 106,000 square feet of floor space. Masonic Election. Concord Chapter No L, B. A.
