Mr. Fife began his series of meetings at this place last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, with an au dience of oyer 1500 people present. The services were opened with tinging by the choir of several se lections. Rev. J. L. Murphy announced that two collections would be taken up each day for the purpose of pay ing for use of tent, seats, etc. He said we ought to be willing to con tribute to the cause, yea, thankful lor the privilege of giving our mite to Him who has done so much for vs. Rev. Mr. Fife then began bis dis course by adding some remarks to rh&t Rev. Murphy had said on the subject of giving. He told the audience that he had heard a great deal about Lincolnton. He said he had been told that he would have to be careful here a9 there were a great many aristocrats in this town and they would be of fended.' True aristocracy would not be above anybody. It is this old kind of dried out "dishrag" ar iitocracy that is contemptible. He said he had been investigating Lincoln ton for several months be fore he came here, and he had heard a great many bad reports. That there was hardly enough religion to unite in getting up the meeting, lie did not ranch want to come to Lincolnton, but he believed God iad sent him here that the people might receive a blessing. Another thing he had heard way down at Washington, N. 0., and that was that the choir of the Meth odist church had fallen out among themselves. He hoped to get them right, to get all church members right. He wanted these right first. He had heard before he got here (do one had told him since he came) that there were church members who could go about on the streets witbr their thumbs in the armholes of their vests and talk with a great deal of importance, and yet made no effort to pay their debts. "If you caucot pay your debts, you ought to go to your creditors and '-tll tbem so and to try to pay the debts as soon as possible.'' Dancing and drunkenness re ceived some very severe deouncia tion duriog the course of the evan gelist's first talk. He requested everybody to bring ids Bible to all the meetings. We cannot, of course, undertake to publish the sermons in full but j near as we can, and as paee will permit, we stall try to give, in sub Stance, some of the leading thoughts Of each discourse.J Afternoon Service. Sunday afternoon at half past 4 o'clock services were begun with the tent crowded almost to its ut most capacity. After some introductory remarks, Rev. Mr. Fife asked all who had Bibles to hoid them up. Quite a number of Bibles were seen in the audience. He turned to the choir and the majority had brought their Bibles with them and Mr. Fife re marked that it was a "pretty good sbowiug for a choir that was only balf converted.'' Mr. Fife had the people to tafce down the places in the Bible from which he quoted passages of Scrip ture, and told them to use tbem in directing sinners to Christ. "The Self Righteous Man," lSkeptics" or "Infidels," "Doubting Christians," "Unsaved Church Members," "In consistent Members," "Backsliders,7' "The Convicted Sinner," "I Fear I Can't Hold Out," "I Will Postpone," were some of the headings under which Mr. Fife quoted numerous passages from the Bible, People are often kept out of the church by inconsistent church members. He said some would say when ap proached on the subject that they were better than that fellow over yonder who is a member of the church ; "I am better than those who contribute to an ice cream sap per to raise money to put plank in an old house to dance in, as had been done here at Lincolnton some time ago.'1 The exercises of the afternoon consisted chiefly in reading and ex plaining selections. He made ear nest appeals to the people to study the Bible and to heed its teachings. His work in the afternoon was very edifying and the services received much praise. Night Services. DuriDg the collection Mr. Fife said some people's hide could not hold more thau a nickel blessing. He said he had not come here for money. He said there was not money enough in Lincolnton to keep nim here if money were all. He was not pleading for money for himself. He wanted money to pay expenses. Douetino Christians. He spoke on the subject of how to know that you are a Christian. Many claim to be Christians but never do anything to help others to be such. We ought to be sure we are Christians and try to get others on the rock of safety. God sent his son into the world to save sinners and whosoever believeth can be saved. Christ did not come into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. God SO loved the world. He asked each one to make this per sonal and make it "God so loved me." He that believeth Is not con demned. You caunot be believers in Christ it you have members in the same church to whom you do not speak. Mr. Fife made some earnest ap peals and the audience listened with marked attention. He prayed at the close of this talk a most beaus tiful and touching prayer. Beautii ful in its simplicity and touching in the tenderness of words and tone, and many hearts were melted into tears- At the close of the discourse quite a number came up and gave Mr. Fife their hands, pledging their intentions to do better, etc. Monday Mobning. The attendance on Monday was not quite so large a3 on Sunday. Rev. Mr. Fife said he had been told that this was the hardest place in tbe United States to get a layi man to lead in prayer. He said the people could go np to the court house and yell, "Hoke ! Hoke !'' with all their might, but when tbey come to the house of God they could not be heard. "I don't blame you for yelling for your man if you want to,'' he said. "I am glad you have such a man as he is to yell for. Wish there were more such men for office." Rev. Fife then delivered a most forcible discourse principally on the office of the Holy Ghost, show ing by numerous quotations from the Bible that the Holy Spirit is a distinct person in the Trinity, as is the Father and the Son ; that tbe word "itself," referring to the Spirit in the Bible, should have been translated "himself," as it is in the new version of the Scriptures- The talk was attended with a great deal of earnestness, and many were very much enlightened on the work of the Holy Spirit. Monday Sight. At eight o'clock Rev. Fife again opened the services with a goodly audience. He made a strong appeal in be half of the poor. He said they were sometimes made to take back seats in the church because of their pov. erty, when they should be treated with as much courtesy as the rich. "The poor,'' he said, "receive the gospel gladly as has been manifest ed light here." After fhe discourse, Christians were asked to go among the people and help to persuade the unconverted to repent. Quite a number signified their intention to become Christians. One of the best features of Mr. Fife's discourses is the numerous quotations from the Bible of pas sages bearing upon the subject of each talk. Tttesday Morning. On Tuesday morning there was a much larger audience than the pre vious day. Services were begun with singiDg by the choir and a very spirited and earnest talk by Rev. C. E. Gower. Rev. Mr. Fife then asked all who had a father, husband, wife, son, brother or friend for whom they wanted Christians to pray to stand up and make it known. To this re quest many responded and as they did so many eyes were bedimmed with tears. Mr. Fife then had passages of Scripture read on the subject of Unheard Prayers. He said prayers were not answered because the heart was not right. In the same connection a number of selections were read showing God's promises with reference to prayer the im portance of faith and of leaving all to the will of God. The choir sang that beautiful, touching song, "All, yes all, I give to Jesus, It belongs to Him," and many eyes were melted with tears, and a number of voices tn the choir broke down, weeping. It was the most effective of any previous meet ing. Tuesday Night. A great crowd assembled again at night. Rev. Mrf Fife made an earnest appeal to tbe cold and stiff-necked. He centured the church members of Lincolnton for indifference- He said he had received less aid here in his efforts to bring souls to Christ than anywhere he bad been. He said you must accept Christ before yon can feel the effects of his salvation ; and as an illustration he said no one who ever has taken a drink of liquor felt the effects of the whiskey before he took it. So you must take Christ into your heart before yoa can feel the joy which be gives to those who accept him. Many persons came forward and gave their hands, asking prayers, pledging their intentions to do better, &c. Mr: Fife then made a strong aps peal especially for Lincolnton, be cause they appeared to be slow in taking hold of the Christian work. He said he did not know what else to say. With tears in his eyes and a trembliug voice almost in groani ings, he said : "I would do anything for you, dear people of Lincolnton. Take me and tear me to pieces and trample upon me, but don't trample upon the blood of my saviour. God save the people of Lincolnton". Considerable interest was man ifested during this service. WEDNESDAY MORNING. The services this morning were opened by Rev. M. H. Hoyle. A great crowd again crowded to the tent. Rev. Fife tendered thanks to those who had takeu their vehicles and brought out the sick who were not able to walk to the tent. He spoke agaiu this morning of tbe fact that a Christian knows that he is saved, in proof of which he quo ted passages of scripture. He said the word know occurs in tbe New Testament 560 times. We want men and women who know they are saved to work for Christ. He had those wbp had Bibles with tbetu to read verse about with him from the 5th chap, of Mathew to 16th verse, commenting on each verte as it was read. He asked those who would try to let their light shine before ptheis that they might help them become Christians, to come up and give him their hands. Many responded to this proposition. Other propo sitions were made to Christians and those who are out of Christ, and much interest was manifested throughout this meetiug. A numter of those who drink and those who profane the name of their Creator came up and pledged themselves to reform. Judicial Convention. The committee appointed ou resolution at the Judicial Conven tion last week presented the fol lowing which were unanimously adopted by an enthusiastic vote : Whereas, Believing that the principles of the Democratic par ty are such as will most effectually securo to the citizens of our gov ernment, life, liberty, peace and prosperity as it is guaranteed to them by its constitution and laws, therefore, RecolvzD 1st, We heartily ap prove and renew our obligatious to the Democratic party as enuncia ted in its national and State plat form. Re60lved 2nd, we hereby enter our most earnest protest against the passage by Congress of any Election bill which hi way tends to interfere with the rights of the citi zens of the State in the free ezers cice of their suffrages, and we im phatically condemn the Lodge or Federal Election bill now pending before Congress. Besolveb 3rd, That we recog nize in Hon. Z. B. Vance, our junior Senator in the U. S.

A paper in that State recently brought suit against forty-three men who would not pay their subscriptions, and obtained judgment for tbe full amount in each. case. Twenty eight at once prevented attachment by making affidavit that tbey had no more than the law allowed. Under the decision of the Supreme court they were arrested for petit larceny and bound over in the sum of $300. Six of these did not give bond, and went to jail. This is tbe result of the working of the new postal law, which makes It larceny to take a paper and refuse to pay for it. Ex.

We have tbe pleasure to announce a new departure tbe location of an agency in Hew York city for the purpose and selection of our stock in order to enable us to quote lower prices than others who buy on long time and at big prices- Big prices will not do in these days of panic and hard times. Our agent has instructions to watch every sale and every failure to look after every house on tbe verge of bankruptcy and ruin and with cash in hand to buy the lump or in the lot every class of merchandise that we can get at less than the rules 60 that we can mark in plain fig ures on our bargains, prices tbat have not been named or quoted in this market or any other. Not by favor, but by merit alone, will we maintain and increase our unrivaled reputation. Big prices will not do in these times when even the wealthy cannot afford to waisc their money and the poor require double duty of every Dollar aud every Penny. It is our aim to name figures that will compel you in self defence to buy of us- We deal in good goods and not trash and believe tbe masses will patronize that house that sells the best goods for the least money. Among onr daily arrivals we shall place before our people some landslides that are positively beyond the whisper of com petition, comparison or mo nopoly, prices tbat will teach the silent logic of truth the difference between dealing with live and with dead men between the cash and the credit system between the right and the wrong way. Hence we throw out among the masses these specialties these matchless goods and matchless prices to check the time and criminal practice of wasting money for the paltry consideration of a little credit. Who can tell the waste of money when you get your goods rf houses that buy and sell on long time. Gold is a go"d tbiog but givo us geidus and ambition and then an energy that urver tires, a mind that uevt-r wonders, an eye that never ti ps, ai d a nerve that never qaivers and we will ride rouh shod all over the world. New advauced ideas crowding out the old pluck instead of luck cash instead of credit brains in the place of chance, and science aud ability beatiDg back and crowding into these moonshiue merchants with their tough and ttemendious long time prices. What is the use of waisting a Dollar when you may save it Upon our counters will be thrown day after day new arrivals at panic prices from houses that have co! lapsed, others that will go down to morrow, and still others, who throw out these iacrifices in vain hope to outlive the storm. From such as these we buy our goods and the house that want3 the trade of the feople must go beyond this advance ine, must beat these prices, or go down, for if there is honor in man or virtue in good gooda at low prices, we mean to be masters of the situation, the live pioneers who dive down to rock bottom. We shall offer such unanswerable arguments as no house can match, leaders and specialties at quotations that no others house can effer, steam and stubborn facts that will level your head on the subject of genuine bar gains. Hard luck and harder times pineh some high toned old credit concerns; tbey must have money to meet the inevitable of tONmorrow; they all know we have the cash, the hard and solid cash, and a thousand wiil buy double its value and we can offer goods, at figures, away be low the regular wholesale jobbers of any place. We wish to right the wrong and bel'eve the God of bat tles is ever with the right. When bankruptcy and ruin overtakes the victim we are always there with the American Dollar when the hammer of the auctioneer fails upon some grand ahd gigantic windshaker, h3len for our names. Thus we are fighting against the old rotten credit system for money, for reputation, and for the people. This is themuaic and these the prices whilst other merchants sleep on their counters and dreaming of the day of disaster and ruin awaiting all who buy on long time, and sell on longer, who pay big prices and alfat figures that no people can afford to pay. We invite an early and re peated visit and inspection. Our stock wiil be replenished every few days and all goods will be from 25 to 50 percent less than current prices in New York city.
