gusted Johnston county (N. C.) mer

Raleigh News-Observer: We are glad
to see that the popular ebullition pver
the attack made on Senator Vance has
subsided, the attack being no longer
pressed, and the whole episode is now
relegated to the past. According
to a census bulletin the bonded debt of
the counties of North Carolina in 1880
was $1,248,711; in 1890, $1,319,866, an
j increase of 6 per cent. In 1880, the
floating debt of" the North Carolina
counties was $275,943; in 1890, $201,220,
a decrease of 27 percent. Taking the
two together, the total county debt in
1880 was $1,524,654, and now it is $1,
521,086, showing a decrease of $3,500.
Lexington Dispatch: The protracted
meeting at Lane's Chapel was held last

Hill. There were twelve conversions
during the meeting. The meeting
at Shiloh, which began Saturday, the
16th. closed last Friday night, with the
result of thirty-three conversions and
twenty-one accession and the church
was greatly revived. This is said to
have been the best meeting that has
been held at Shiloh in many years.
Rev. M. W. Boyles has closed a meet
ing of great power at Good Hope M. E.
Church, South, which resulted in forty
five conversions and thirty-four acces
sions to the church. The meeting at
Wesley Chapel closed Monday night.
There were thirty-three conversions
and twentyfive accessions, and the
church was greatly strengthened and
revived.
Asheyille Citizen: Evangelist Fife is
very desirous Jof establishing a yearly

dent; J. E. Dickerson, secretary
and treasury. George Roby, a
carpenter, fell from the steeple of the
Catholic church yesterday and re
ceived four bad scalp wounds and
was seriously injured internally.
The concensus of opinion seems to be
that Vance may wear a sash, but that
the North Carolina voters draw the
line at "yaller" shoes Edward
Stephens, who has come here as prin
cipal of the colored schools, was born
in an English colony in South America.
