Please pay what you owo ns. Next Thursday is thanksgiving. Read onr special offers in another column. This paper is being complimented from all sides. The preachers have gone to confer ence. That means a mighty slaugh tering of chicken. Zion conference of South Carolina is in session at Chester —Bishop S. T. Junes presiding. What has become of that old ban dana that was so proudly waved bat i few weeks ago ? / Congressman H. P. Cheatham of the 2d district is a Baptist preacher and not a lawyer. The Central North Carolina Confer ence is in session at Fayetteville— Bishop J. J. Moore presiding. If your boy learns grammar, don’t give him arithmetic. “One thing at a time, and that well done.” Rev. Z Hanghton returned home from a visit of two weeks in Wilming ton last Tuesday morning. The North Carolina Conference of the A. M. E. Church is now in ses sion in Greensboro —Bishop Campbell presiding The North Carolina Conference of the Zion Methodist Church meets at Ooldsboro next Wednesday. Bishop, Thompson will preside. It is a little discouraging to be warned that the seminary project is to j be opposed, but it is s righteous out and will be carried through. Please let Smith alone. He thinks he did his duty and is solid He will get there, and perhaps sooner than is thought. Eight years ago many persons said Zion Wesley will amount to nothing. Is there not still another man in Zion who can go out and work exclusively for the girls 1 It is earnestly hoped that some steps will he taken in the Carolina Zion conferences to eoeourage a fe male seminary for Zion Church. While the conference may able to can show a willingness to do their port and sneh an institution will do much toward supporting itself. The Colored Baptist Missionary Union is in session at the First Bap tist Church. Rev. A. A. Powell is president, ad Rev. F. R. Howell, secretary. North Carolina is truly a great State for Methodism. The whites arc discussing the advisability of dividing their conference, becao.sc it is too large to be well managed. There are already -r five colored Methodist conferences in North Caro lina : The M. E., A. M. E„ C. M. E.. North Carolina Zion and Central N. C. Zion. And now it seems that the prohibi tion vote in this State was actually increased from 454 to about 3,000. As Mr. Walker said, it is really a bouncing baby. To say that working for a female seminary in Zion will injure Living stone is as silly as saying presiding elders retard the work of the Chnrch. “Successful operation of one thing at a time.’ Yet it is thought in structing boys in books is not snfficient, so trades arc introduced to go along with it. “Successful operation of one thing at a time.” Does that mean if yon operate one school successfully no other is needed? What does that mean anyway? If you are educating your boys, that is nice. Let your girls grow up in ignorance, or let some one else edu cate them. "The snccessfbl operation of one thing at a time,” is the sug gestion. Poor girls; if your parents will not send yon to a mixed school yon must stay at home, or go and be brought np under other church influences and leave the chnrch of yonr first love. Hon. W. P. Canady is a native Southern man, and while he has worked his way high np in the party he deserves to go higher, and Mr. Harrison shohld look upon Col. Can ady as a representative Southern Re publican. Branson’s Agricultural Almanac for 1889, is to hand again with its pleas ant face. The book has been calcu lated for the last five years by Mr. Branson himself, and be guarantees a high degree of accuracy. Such a hand book is of great value to the families all over the State. It seems to have gone into almost every nook and corner of the State. The Charlotte Chronicle says: “ Harrison owes his election to the negroes. If they had not the ballot he would never have reached the White Honae.” We would remind the Chronicle that those New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Negroes arc wealthy, educated and in every respect the equals of the white people of this country. The Chronicle insinuates that Mr. Harrison is not legally elected because the Negro elected him. or that Mr. Harrison shonld not forget his obligations of gratitude to the Negro. Which does he mean ! Marriage at Lnmberton. Misa Martha E. Lewis and Mr. Luke R. MeQneen were united in the holy estate of matrimony at the bride’s residence on Wednesday evening, the 14th inst., by Rev. S. G. Taylor, of the A. M. E. Church. Miss Zilphia Lewis and Mr. A. A. McQueen were first bridesmaid and groomsman. “AH went merry as a marriage bell.” For Minister to Maytl. As a worthy and suitable man to represent this government at Port au Prince, we nominate that sterling and cultured young man, Edmund Loftin Thornton.»of Tarboro. N. C- Mr. Thornton » a native of this State and one of the beat educated young men in the South He is in every way creditable to the race and country, and we hope the next administration will select sneh men to fill all respon sible positions. B. L. Thornton is onr selection for the Haytien mission. M. Luke’s Sabbath School. While in Wilmington last Sunday we visited St Lake's Sabbath School. It is the largest and beat conducted Sabbath School of onr church in the school, the order may be said to bo perfect. The teachers and scholars all seemed to take much interest in the lessons which are well drawn on a blackboard by one of the scholars and explained by the pastor. The music was good and much enjoyed by us. Much of the success of this school is due to the active part taken by Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Small. The at tendance averages about 300 and the collections about $6. What school can equal this? Plans for the Seminary# It is not for us to propose the plans upon which the seminary should be established or the rules by which it should be run, but that is left for the fathers and leaders in Zion. As a be liever in the capabilities and future of our race, we feel called upon to agi tate the necessity for such an institu tion. We would simply say that in the beginning there is no need for high college curriculum or high sounding titles. All great institu tions begin small and work up. Two good, pious, well educated ladies or a well educated preacher and his wife might start such an enterprise with the backing of our great connection. Let us hear a good report in the conferences on education and let this question of a female seminary be dis cussed. Let some good lady or gen tleman be encouraged to begin the work at once. All the help needed will be forthcoming as soon as tho work is started in earnest. ADTICE TO MOTHERS. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, for chil dren teething, is the prescription of one of the best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and has been used for forty years with never-failing success by millions of mothers for their children. During the process of teething its value is incalculable. It relieves the child from pain, cures dysentery and diar rhcea, griping in the bowels, and wind-colic. By giving health to the child it rests the mother. Price 25c. a bottle. THE MESSENGER FOR ONE DOLLAR.
