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.
