Now we want to talk a little with our neoDle in regard to the'establishment in Dunn of a Pants and Shirt Factory. One of our most enterprising citi zens and the largest merchant in this section of the oountry, Mr. E. F. loan?, ha the machinery of tne Fayetteville Pants and Shirt Factory, which has been closed for some time on account of the death of Mr Young's brother who ran the factory The factory in Fayetteville did a good usiness and was closed down because Mr. Young had so much business here that he could not give it the proper attention. Now Mr. Young proposes to move the machinery to Dunn and put it in as his stock, if some of our people in the town or county, will take stock enough to furnish a building, put the machinery in place and mn the busi ess Now we consider this a fair propo ition for some of our moneyed men to invest some money to heip the town. The plant has 75 machines and a fifteen horse-power eDgine There is a building in town which is mity, and its owner wuld be glad to rent it, which can be rented cheap and which is plenty large for all ihe m achinery. When in operation the taotory should employ 75 hands, most of w hom would be women and girls, at wages averaging about 1.00 per day. rhis would turn out $450 a week all of w'lich would be spent in town. Our other factories are making a success. Uusmess men turn over this matter- Let us have tbisPants and Shirt factory in Dunn. There is no other factory of this kind nearer than Charlotte, N. C. Mr. Young is anxious to have the machinery placed in Dunn and is open iOr propositions from any good man. j Firt Cotlou HlOOills. The first eotton blooms of this sea son were brought to. our offioe last Friday by Mr. B. W. nodges, who lives near town. He had two, a red one and a white one. The red one opened on June 11th, the white one oa the 12th. Mr. 'Hodges says his crops are very good. Mr. Geo. M. Lee, who lives near town also, reports a bloom from his field on the 11th of June. Mr. John Ljnn BarneB sent us a bloom that was plucked on the 13th. J. MoKay Byrd E q.. Register of Deeds, sent us one gathered on June 12h. He writes: 'Enclosed find cotton bloom which was taken from my field this morning. The field contains two acres and the cotton will average about two feethigh. It was planted April 11th." Mr. Allen Shaw, of Lillington, sent us a bloom Monday which he gathered from a ten acre field on J uno 11th. Mrs. L. F. McKay, of Dickinson, sent us one which she gathered June 13th from the field of Pat. Roland, one of her tenants, v Mr. G, D. Owens, of Giles Mill, Sampson county, Bent us a cotton bloom pulled Friday, the 12th. Mr. A. S. Lucas, of near Averas boro, brought us a bloom Saturday. Our prediction, "that we would receive a cotton blossom by the 15th of June," was beaten four days. When we were a boy, and that was "after the war," the farmer who had J a cotton blossom in his field on the 4ih of July was considered a good farmer. How things change. I Tfc RliziMH JIorrmeHt la Dana. Since Dunn first had an existence there never ha been witnessed to mucn interest m religions circles as there has been daring the past few weeks. Her people are awakened and aroused, enthused and are at work They seem to realize that the day of Salvation is at hand, ' and that the night eometh wnen no man can work. They are on the alert, march ing oat into the high-ways and hedges seeking those who have no hope, and it is gratifying that they are meeting with success. God has promised that His word shall not return onto Him void, and through His matchless power He is bringing to paso that which has long been prayed for by the Christian people of this town and so long needed. The Christian people are turning their back upon the prejudice and strife that has long been the ruling power among our ehurch members. The people are coming together and seem to be de termined in their efforts to put down the common enemy of our country. Prayermeetings continue at some house nearly every night in the week, and at nearly every meeting some soul is benefitted. There are vet several who seem to take no interest in their soul's salvation, but as long as there is life there remaineth hope. Prayer is the Christian's sword, and God is able to bring them to the light. God has said in His word that it is a dangerous thing to call thy brother a fool. Job would not curse hh Lord and die, and how men can stand upon the streets in this day of sun- ightand .age of intelligence, and abuse the workings of the Holy Spirit, is strange to see. The devil and his angels cannot tear down the walls of Zion, and every attempt adds new strength to the great walls. Those that forget God shall receive their portion' with the nations that know Him not. Read and Reflect. Dunk, N. C. June 13,r 189G. Ma. Editor: I have noticed in your columns some references against sanotification, and now it isn't for argument of doc trine, prejudice, or ill will to any body that the writer presents some soripture or bible references which we think endorbts sanotification without any doubt, and which we trust will bring light in some one's mind that he may see elearly the essentiality of Holiness. We fed thaflf we ean Convince only one.eoul of this truth as it is in Christ that we hate done something noble for His cause. Now; dear reader get your bible and av aside all prejudice, read carefull v the following, and resolve to under stand it. -Isaiah 35:8; 1st Peter lil6; Gen. 17:1; Mat. 5:48; Heh. 13:12; Titus 2:14; 1st John 1:7 and 9; Acts 26: 18: Eph.2:8; HeH. 9:13,14; Psalms 86:2; 2nd Peter 1:21; Luke 1:6; Heb. 12:14; Rev. 21:27; St. John 17th chapter; 1st John 3rd ohapter; Deut. 6:5; Ezek. 36:25 and 29; 1st Thess. 5:23; 2nd Cor. 7:1; Acts 8:516; Acts 10th chapter; 2nd Cor. 1:15; Rom. 5:1 and 2; Lev. 11:44. 1'raise lhe .Lord! 1 couia give many others bat don't think it neces sary. Now it will probably take an hour or two for you to look up all these references, bat bless the Lord ! your time will be well spent, and when you have finished, ask yourself the question, "Am I perfect as God would have me be?" and as Christ prayed' that I might be, (St. John, 17th chapter 15:22) If not seek that perfect peace, and Savior's love which He has promised and is so willing to to give if we only look to him in prayer. O, may this be the instigation of some. precious soul's Salvation. t Onb Who Bklibves in Bking Ready iew Tool Shop. Mr. A. R. Wilson, one of Dunn's wideawake and enterprising mer chants, has just commeneed manufac turing turpentine tools and made his first shipment to Alabama last Mon day.

There's millions in it. PrnHBced Iaiaae. One of Crumpler young disciples was arrested Tuesday and lodged in jail, at the instance of the County Physician, who pronoanc.-d him in sane. The yonng man, whose came is Newell McDaniel, of Cedar Creek, came into the eity yesterday and com4 meneed to preach from the side walk in front of the PoBt Office. He soon attracted a carious crowd, and for over an hour he spouted a lot of dis connected stuff which no mortal could make heads or tails oil It was soon evident that the young Sanctification- ist was insane. He abused the Mayor, i i he abased the preachers, and wound up by cursinghis own father. His father came after him this morn ing, bat finding him beyond control, turned him over to the County Physi cian. c His father says that he has not been right mentally since Crumpler held his big Holiness meeting over the river. I This is the samo yonng man who last Sunday evening, during a sanoti fication moeting at Bullard's mill, which was attended by a number of young ladies and gentlemen from this city, crawled up and down the aisle on his hands and knees praying. Fayetteville Observer June 9th. Thousands of peoplo become insane on the subj .ot of religion every year, and have been doing so for centuries. This young man might have gone cra zy if he had never heard Mr. Crump ler. At the meetings which Mr. Crum pier holds large crowds attend and of course Borne few persons whose minds are weak and feeble, and probably diseased, will be there.! These- per sons are generally of an excitable and nervous temperament and are gener ally of one idea. If they desire any one thing and cannot bring it about their whole mind is centered on how to obtain it, and for this reason they become insane on that subject. This young man may have become insane earlier by his attend- ance on the G rumpier j meeting dui we do not think it can be contributed solely to that fact. Hundreds who have been oonverted under Mr. Crnmpler's preaohing are happy and bright and are endeavoring to live up to their profession. THE CRUMPLER MEETINGS a t inV ncni'i.n The following article camo out in the Qoldsboro Daily Argus this week as a supplement: i Two weeks have elapsed, to-day, since Itev. A. 11. Crumpler rauie to GolUsboro uud commenced lo preuch hi doctrine of Sanctiticatioii. With the exception of one rainy night, there has been over 100U people pi t-sent at cacn nigntse.

At the morning: service yesterday there was an immense throng composed of ueonle from the country roundabout, as well as all classes from tiie city. There lias been no service at the two Methodist churches of the city for the last two weeks, fact contributed a larger mini- ber than wouia oinerw ise iiuvo uuuu . ' t -m 1 ... 1 nresent. At this service there was nresent Mr. II. J. Faispn, from Duplin county, who occupied most of the pre- limiuary service itu i;umia n doctrine of sanctitieation. Mr. 1- aison is a man of intelligence and testilied verv eloQUently to the consciousness ol having experience! a uwuuws ui uait,. ... i .. t.,.r.i...c.-. Mr. CiiiuiDler s sermon ou mis oc casion was simply a revelation of the ambitiousness of which he was possessed at the time he sought sauctilioation. lie enumerateuHhe many saciitices that he h.il ro make and how loathe lie was to part with worldly objects. His remarks u-pra true to nature. His sermon was a mirror into which each one of his hear ers could look aud see portrayed their individual character. At the close of the service a great many citizens of promi ue nee ii. tow n sought the peifed .frifi' sum nanmue&s men uau ueen described so faithfully by JJr. Crumpler. At 3 3U o'clock the service for the col om1 ieonle took place. The vast taber liaclf builcliug was nneu wuu uoiu races, the colored representatives having the ri"ht of way. Mr. Crumpler claims to !a follower of the 'old-tiine religion," i . .. t ...i. mimI it was exnected at this! service that the old gray-headed decendants of Af rica, whose forms are now oent wiin years of toil, would fill the air with shouts of iov and songs of praise. All that had been anticipated of shouting saints and happy hearts transpired. The heart of every idle spectator to this scene was made to swell with emotion when thatvat concourse ol uuisciai voices were lifted in song and the old familiar tune of "When the uiu l Koll is Called wsi wafted to the afternoon breeze and the vast building seemed to sway in ac rd with the melodious notes that tried to burst its confine.-. Mr. Crumpler nreached to them for an hour, and they limited aud sang sweet songs. It is estimated that 3,000 ieeple were orient last night. His ennon was one nf his sanctitieation series and was terspersed with Scriptural citations bear intr on the subject. ! At every service now there are a large number of seewers alter sancuueauon This doctrine, so new to GoluVoro Po pie in the light that Mr. Crumpler put ir. has been endorsed by a great man ,a nr citizens of all' classes and has been exemplified in their lives. Is nosaible that this gracious experience has been withheld from Christian people 11 rli-s rears and it was left for this man to reveal it to this community Kecetit observations seem to evidence this fact.
