An ex-cannibal from the iuterior of Af rica came to Lincolntou thic week and will give a lectare at tbe court house Friday night of this week. He is traveling in the interest of the heathen ot his native country. The following will explain itself: There will be a Grand Lecture given on the Customs of Interior ol Africa, at tbe Court House on Fri day night May 22, '91. By a man who was wild a few years since, and who was caught in tbe Interior of Africa. I will show, act and speak the African Lauguage. Come, friends, both white and colored and bear me. I am trying to educate myself so i as I may be able to return to my ! mother country aud teach my moth I er, father, brothers and sisters ot the true God. I will lectare, sing and talk in my own native language, and wear my first native suit I wore in the Gree greebosh. I have a wonderful story to tell you all about the interior part of Africa. I will act the way the heathens sing around a dinner feast. Now is your chance to see tbe 1 heathen manner, and I will pray to my wooden god, the god I used to worship, and also I have a charter of my native land and tbe country devil on it, and 1 will tell yon how we get our wives. This lecture has been heard in all tbe leading cities Washington, Philaeelphia, Baltimore, Lynchburg, Richmond, Petersburg, Norfork, Elizabeth Oity and Newberne. This lecture has been in all tbe leading churches of America. Both white and colored have spo ken otthis as being tbe best lecture they ever heard on Africa, by a na tive born in the interior part of Af rica.

Reet8ville news is scarce no shameful runaways, dead horses nor J twin calves to report, I think the readers of the Courier have long since known Howard's Creek had the biggest fool in the county. Mr. David Warlick's children while breaking some goose eggs, found one which contained a four legged gosling. Wheat crops are looking, fine. Corn and cotton not doing so well on account of dry weather and frost. We have a flourishing Sunday School at Reepsville Academy. Dr. W. O. Kiser is the Superintendent. Howard's Creek Alliance No. 1671 is booming, 100 members with fre quent additions. We are expecting Mr. Craig Shuford to lecture Satur day, May 30, at 2 P, M., free to all. Bill Shanks should state cause of chickens' dying before asking a remedy. There is general com-, plaint in this neighborhood about chickens' dying. My wife;8 mother has a nice silver knee buckle, which belonged to and perhaps was worn by her grand father, which would be a cariosity to many readers of your paper. H. W. Pay your suoscription to the LIN COLN UOUEIER. Charlie Hoke. Died at the Lahoiatory near Lin colnton, of rheumatic pleurisy. C, L. Hoke, second son of F. J. and Catb. erine Hoke, aged eighteen years and tix months. He was born at the Laboratory and lived there until he moved to Columbia, S. C- about three years ago. He was taken sick there at the house of Mr. L. D. Childs which he made bis home ; he returned home on Monday, but never rallied and died Saturday the 16th In his untimely death bis family have suffered a great bereavement ; of the sweetest and moat lovable disposition, of unusual intelligence, good, sensible and affectionate, he gave every promise of a useful manhood. He was baptized in iu fancy, and joined tbe Methodist church when he was twelve years old- The fun ral services on Monday were read by Mr. Austin of this place. Iiall in .Vorlh Is rook Tow n Hill p. A terrible hail s'orm aud rain here on May 12 . It was 15 inches deep iu the yard. Au hour and a half after it stopped raiuing the hail measured 8 im.'hes, aud it lay a uigbt and day. The width of tln bail storm was about two miles, aud iti length we don't know. It mostly stripped the pine timber. The com and wheat is badly damaged. We cauuot tell yet how much the wheat is injured. Some hail fell here the size of a guinea egg. It would have knocked water over a man's head. C. W. SHULL. lr. J. Francke Fox. We have received a copy of an illustrated editiou ot the Basic City (Va.) Advance, which contains a large nn ruber of pictures of businebS and professional men among which we uotice that of our former towns man, Dr. J. Francke Fox. In the same paper appears the following very complimentary notice : The subject of this sketch is a young man of 28, having been born in Lincoln county, North Carolina, Apirl 7, 1863.. The son of a famous physician in North Carolina, he was edocated with great care, having spent his boyhood days at King's Mountain Military School, North Carolina. Before taking his course at the University of Virginia, he spent a year in his father's office learning the practice of medicine from the great school of the people among whom the seuior Fox spent his days and a great part of his nights j for and interestin the colored peo t rimo u iu,. c-. i pie of this countiv and has held . ! cuuunueu uis studies at me univer sity of Virginia, whense be went in 1883 to North Caroliua aud took up the practice of his father for two years. The winter ot '86 was speut at the University of New York City, from which medical school also he returned with his diploma to North Carolina, where be remained agaic in active practice till the winter ot 1890. Not yet satisfied, Dr. Fox returned to New York, wbere be took the postgraduate course, besides spe cial courses on the nose, throat and ear, general surgery and medicine. Now fully equipped, he came to Virginia aud settled iu Basic City in May, 1890l Dr. Fox is assocciated with bis brother, who is his senior, and from whose loug experience he has added to his own equipment. Trinity Dots. Mr. Editor; We wish to make a correction on one of our last week's dots, on the party of the runaway Instead ot being Lingerfelt's daugh ter that ran away it was his niece, although she was living with him at tbat time. There was a very large crowd at Tnuity last Sunday. We think there were upwards of 1,000 people there. There were eight accessions to the church during the meeting, four by Confirmation and four by Baptism. Mr. Charlie Leatherman and Miss Sarah Wilson near Trinity were married at Esq. Philip Carpeuter's on last Sunday morning. We hope they will enjoy all the pleasure tbat life can afford in this sinful world. We learn too, that Mr. John Reep and Miss Barbara Bangle near Bethel Church were also married ai5 Esq. Carpenter's. There are several more expected in this neighborhood this week. We wish them much joy- Some one not having the tear of God before his eyes, broke the sev- enth commandment by goiug into Mrs. J. A. Seagle's garden and stealing some onions. We often hear of people stealing money horsi es and such like, but we seldom hear ofany one stooping so low as to steal onions. The cotton in the neighborhood is coming up so badly that we hear some ot the farmers say that they are going to plant their ground in corn. The storm prophet of this neighborhood says till next tall many of these fertilize people will come to an end. Mr. George Lion and Mr. A. Z. Sconce arrived home last Friday evening, from Asheville, they had first went to West Yirginia. We were glad to see them. Misses Laura Hartsoe aud Minna Sain paid some of their relatives a visit ou la?t Saturday and Sunday. May. 19, 1801. T. L. The New York Ecening rost shows from tables of prices carefully pre pared that the average iucreas in the cost ot liviuj; for the past four" teen months has been fifteen per cent. While the removal of the tariff from sugar has cbeapeued that the cost of all the necessaries of life has advanced. Meat, flour, potatoes coffee and other articles iu daily household use are higher, while tbe wages of woikmeu have not ad vane ed, but in many lines of bnsiness have been reduced. But the ad vance iu flour meats, potatoes, but ter, &c., has not benefitted the far mer, but the combinations which control these articles after they leave the farmer's hands. As an illustra tion of this, the Chicago Inter Ocean, -i Republican paper, cited the fact tbat while cattle sold in the Chica go market at $5.50 a hundred a choice piece of beef cost from 25 to 30 cents a pound. There are com bines and trusts on nearly all the articles of food, as well as other things, which are fostered by tbe high tariff, which reap tbe advans tage of the advance in prices, which the toiling, poorly paid millions must pay, while the producers de rive little or no benefit from it. Wil. Star. 'It's all very well to talk of econn my, but the difficulty is to get any thiog to oconomize. Tho hahv.wbo puts bis toes in bis mouth is almost the only person who, in these times, manages to make both ends meet,7 Charlotte Democrat. Little incidents sometimes test the sincerity of a man's professions quite as effectually as great ones would. President Harrison has al ways professed great friendliness that m rfsrptfthl tied to as much respect aud recog nition as a white person, aud that color aloue should not be a bar to his recognition. This has been logi colly, if not so expressed, Mr. Har rissou's position : but he has never carried it out in practice. That he carries within him, in epite of all his professions, the color prejudice as deeply rooted as anyone was strikingly shown at Portland, Ore-, gou, where he refused to shake hands with a respectable old colored woman. When she extended her hand, he turned away. She think ing he didn'r see her, said : "Mr. President, I want to shake hands with you." Instead of shaking hands with her, as he had been do ing with the white people, he simp ly said : "Excuse me,'' and turned away Irom her. The old woman felt deeply hurt a this rebuff from a man whom she had been tanght to look upon as an especial friend of her race, and she went away luU ly impressed with the conviction that his profession was not even skin deep. Dope lor Iliui. How often do we hear a parent say of a mischievous boy. "I would not mind so much if I could only believe him.'' Whatever bis other trairs truth is essentially the touchstone of a boy's character. The following case in point appears iu the Christian Leader. : "I don't krow that you will be able to do much with him," said a father to tbe principal of a school to whom he had brought his son as pupil, 'ne is so full of mischief.'' "Does he tell the troth !" asked the principal. "Can I always de pend upon his word t" "Oh, yes," said the father ; "he is honest, he will tell the truth, even when it is against himself ; you may depend upon that." "Then we can manage him.'5 said the principal. "He will make a re liable, manly man." Soberly Do you believe, Wies man, that there is any luck in horse shoes Wiseman If there is it stays in 'em. I never knew of any coming oat ot 'em. Boston Courier. itfHMftOjlljton To Make Trade Lively This week, we wiil offer for sale a BIG LOT of LADIES' JERSEY VESTS (cotton) from 10 ots to 10 cts apiece.
