It would be a great convenience to business men. Our colored brethren of the a, M. K. Church re-covered their I church this week, and are also erecting a steeple on the same. Mr. J. E.

The town authorities are bav ins: a plank walk put down on Le noir street, from the sash and blind factory to the corporate limits, which will be a great convenience in muddy weather to citizens liv ing on that street. Mr. H. F.

We are receiving letters from oar friends all 'round that they are pleased with The Star, and thpy are certainly highly appreci ated by us. But, friends, pray don't forget to send a little grease along to keep the old wagon's axles from heating in the box. The lialeigh News-Observer wya: The Governor has author ized Judge Merrimon to hold Hen derson and Burke Superior Courts instead of Judge Gilmer, and Judge Gilmer to hold Chatham, Guilford and Alamance courts in stead of Judge Merrimon, the two Judges having agreed to exchange. Whisenhunt is nearer correct than Blum. Our recollection is that Blum's almanac states that there would be no snows this win ter; while Whisenhunt prophesied early in the fall that there would be fifteen snows this winter. A rart of them have fallen and the season is not out yet. Hurrah for whiseiihuut! Rev. 11. S. Abernethy, pastor oft lie Morganton circuit, has ar ranged with Eev. J. U.

' You Some time We are frequently approached with language like the following: "Mr. Cobb, yon are sending out a good paper, and I believe yon may send it to me 12 months and I will pay you sometime along." We couteud that we are giving more reading matter for one dollar than any paper in the State, and we can't send it to subscribes 1, 2 and sometimes 3 years and take the pay "sometime aloug." Our terms are cash or its equivalent in advance, and we hope our sub scribers will so understand this in the future. Thought His Guide Was a Color ed" Sexton. Last Saturday, week, a blind man came to our place, claiming to be a worker in the Temperance cause, also in the Y. M. C. A. Sun day morning a friend took him to the Methodist Suuday school and requested that the sexton take charge of him when he wanted to return. When he was ready, some one offered his arm. The blind man supposing it was the colored sexton, started a conver sation on Africa ; said he could speak the original language ; and to his surprise he was told that his guide was a young man who boasted of his Caucasian blood. Talk of Consolidating-. We learn that negotiations are going on between Prof. J.A.Gil mer, principle of Morganton High School, and Eev. E. L. Patton, late principal of Amherst Acade my and now teaching at Glen Al pine Station, to form a co-partnership and consolidate their schools and establish a first-class institution f learning at Morgan ton. We trust this arrangement can be effected ; for we know of no better location for a large school than at Morganton good climate, good society, good morals, no bar roooms nor other places to lead young men astray and with the combined enfluence and qualifica tions of Profs. Gilmer and Patton, we believe a flourishing school can be conducted ar Morganton, and our people both in town and the country would hail this consolida tion with pleasure and give tue school their hearty support. How to I3uiII up 5organtn. Let us apply the following good rules to Morganton. They are taken from the Kipon (Wis.) Com monwealth .-,. Talk about it. Write abwut it. Speak well of it. Help to improve it. Beautify the streets. Patronize its merchants. Advertise in its newspaper. Speak well of its enterprising, public-spirited citizens. If you are rich invest in some thing; employ somebody; be a rustler. If you don't thiuk of any good word to say, don't say anything bad about it. Kemember that every dollar you invest in a permanent improve ment is that much on interest. Be courteous to strangers that come among you, so that they may go away with a good impres sion. Always chear up the men that go in for improvements. Your portion of the cost will be only what is just. Don't kick about any necessary public improvement because it is not at your own door, or for fear that your taxes would be raised 15 cents. THE MORGANTON STAR. Personal.

Anderson received a telegram yesterday stating that his father, Eev. E. B. Anderson, was sick at Columbia, S. C, and asking him to come at once. Mr. J. A.

Crowson, editor of the Hickoi. Clipper, was in town this week looking after the last will and testament of the old Blade press and fixtures with a view of utilizing them in the Clipper office at Hickory. Uncle Bartlett Sisk, the "great bear adventurer," was in town last Saturday, and seemed to have a fresh supply of jokes on hand; and as he moved from one store to another the crowd that followed him reminded us of the throng following Eobinson's street parade, previous to the circus exposition. The Lenoir Topic says: Mr. W. II. Bower, the able and popular solicitor in this judicial district, returned home last week from a pleasant trip to California. The papers made merry over Mr. Bow er's trip, accusing him of going off to get married. He returns a bachelor. Mr. Bower left Sunday for Henderson ville, where court is in session this week.

FEBRUARY 17, 188S. Mr. Pearson in Statesvllle. Reported for The Morganton Star. In continuing my reports, I will not attempt any synopsis of hi? sermons ; I might come out like a reporter in an ad joining sfcrt, who got the heads of one sermon tacked onto the text of another, and made a mess of it. I prefer to give you some idea of his style of preaching and methods of working. He is a very solemn preacher at times; but I have heard what you would call an exciting sermon. Heap peals more to reason and common sense than to mere feelings. This morning, in the bible reading to -mothers, there was more demonstration of feeling than I have seen in the ten days services. I saw grey-headed women and young mothers pressing up to him to-day ana thanking him lor his teaching, and many of the older ones said : "Oh, if I could only heard that sermon years ago. " He was unsparing in his denun ciations of all modern ideas of marriage and motherhood; and he does not spare professing christians who indulge in worldly amusements. He hoard of someone saying he was extreme on these subjects. His reply was, "That depends upon where you 6tart to meas ure from. I start with both feet square upon the word of God ; measuring from that point I am not the extremist." I will give you one of his illustrations on this subject, given at a reading upon the crucifixion of believers with Christ on the cross, and that they must be dead to the world. He wanted to prove to them whether they were dead or not. He pictured a man lying dead on the platform, so vividly we felt as if the man were lying before us. Then around the platform he placed all the allurements of the world a gamblers1 den here, a whiskey saloon there, then a theatre, and a uanca. "Now " said he, - when the glasses begin to clink, if I see him stretch out his hand, he is not dead. If the violin begins and he moves his feet, he is not dead. When the gambling commences, if both hands go oat, he is not dead. " ' It was a very real picture and every christian saw the force of that illustration. He uses these illustrations in every sermon, taken from everything in the universe, it seems to me, and they enforce the truths he preaches most powerfully. He uses them in conversation constant ly. He was urging a lady friend to go as a wisher to the alter meetings, and she excused on the ground that she did not know the people. Said he : If you meet a man and lie asks you the way to the post office, do you wait to bo intro duced before you can answer him." That lady went to the next after meet ing. ilis bible readings are delightful. When he comes in he al ways says : " We are all here together, God s people to study His word. " Then he announces the subject, gives a number of texts as a head tor each discourse. Then lie calls them out, someone finds the place, and when he needs that text the person who has taken it reads it aloud, and he comments upon it. On his reading up on forgiveness, he had the whole con gregation read a verse alternately with him, part Matt. : lb. That reading has had wonderful practical results in some places, and don't know how it was nere. Another sermon did produce quite a practical elfect. It was one in which restitution was one of the heads of his discourse. I have heard that one man paid a debt at the door of the building, and the merchants said their bills were paid up very rapidly in the next day or two. On Sunday we had the most solemn sermon I ever heard on the Holy Ghost, llonday night one on excuses. He gave twelve that men made, but the two most forcibly illustrated were: "Not coming to Christ because of hypocrites in the church," and "The difficulty presented by the number of denomina tions." I will not try to give his illus trations, because they lose so much of their force w hen one attempts to write them up. The alter meetings have been crowd ed for two nights and there have been considerably over one hundred conver sions. The building is crowded day and night ; from two thousand to twen ty nve nunarea ail this week, it is court week and there are people here from all parts of the country. A delegation from Hickory came to see him this morning ; but 1 think he has engagements up to January, 1$69. I do earnestly hope that our people can get him in July ; but he cannot promise certainly, for that is a part of his summer vacation. I wish we could have a delegation from Burke to come down and see him. He will probably clone here on Friday, and alter a'rest in Raleigh, goes to New Bern, and then to Wilmington. C. A. M. Mayor Avery tor Our Next Rep resentative. Correspondence oi The Morganton Slur. I have been thinking who would be the most suitable man to rej -resent Burke in the next legisla ture and have come to the conclu sion that bur young ami excellent Mayor, Mr. l.T. Avery ,tis the man. The only objection that can be assigned is that he is a lawyer. But I think he would go for the good of his conn;y and St-te. He is a live, progressive young man, in favor of idl internal improve ments and has thebiaius and gilts to proent his constituents' claims in a manner to be heard. Hope your readers will think over tiiis matter, and if the sugges tion strikes them favorable, act accordingly. A voter, E. F. Walker.

A Murder Supposed to be Involv ed in the Matter. releram to the Charlotte Chron'.cU. Shelby, X. C, Feb. 13 The county is greatly excided over an elopement of J. p. stvers, ex preacher, ami Mis. S. .!. Beam, both of whom were convicted last court of adultery, the woman Ihj mg sentenced to jail for tlirt-c months and Styers for six months and lined S200. Pending the ap peal to the Supreme court, Styers was released on a $500 bond. The direct cause of the elopmient was the charges by interested parties who suspieioned something wrong, that Andrew Beam, husband of the woman, had been poisoned, although Beam has been dead nearly two years. His bodv was exhumed Thursday, and several witnesses examined by the coro ner. This frightened the guilty pair who, on Friday, took the Air Line train at Gastonia for the north. Yesterday another inquest was held over Beam's bodv, and many witnesses examined.' The stomach, and the intestines' were taken out aud will be sent to Eal eigh for examination tomorrow. The last jury rendered a vcidiet accusing Mrs. Beam ami Stver.i of the murder of Beam. Prior to the latter' ile.it h, Styers and Beam ran a stoie about seven miles from here, and 'after B ams death busi ness was continued by St vers ami the widow. Styers is about forly five years of age and leaves a wife and ten children. Mrs. Beam is a handsame woman and about thirty five years of age, but leaves no family. She was Beam's sec ond wile. No news of the run. away pair since seen at Gastonia. Xortli Cove ticius. Correspondence of The Morganton Star. AsiiroKD, X.
