The Bishop was pres ent and, after the administration of thebrdinance of baptism to several children, submitted some timely re marks on the subject of bringing up and educating the children in the church, and sounded a warning against the Roman Church which his observations in Mexico, and else where, had taught him was seeking to get control of the children of the country and the country itself. rains on the Raieigh & Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Dress Goodst Notions, AirLicef. : The '.through HTA insf lxrino- nrnnnH lnnco of Wi'ol.orf'a mil . - I W V 1 V KJ V M.

Asa McQueen, a 9 year old son of Mr. Joseph McQueen, died in this town on Thursday last, 7 th inst., of typhoid fever. We have no respect for any man who alternately "blows hot and cold." Neither do we favorably regard that kind of weather. The Methodist church was crowd ed to overflowing last Sunday and many weje disappointed in finding seats, and had to go elsewhere. Ev erybody wanted to hear the Bishop. John Brigman, tried last week as accessoryj to the murder of Angus Prevatt, was acquitted. It seems to be safer these days, so far as the law is concerned, to kill a man than to steal a chicken. The District Conference, held here last week, brought with it many pleasure for our people. Besides the spiritual benefit derived from the presence Of the pieachers and hear ing several excellent sermons from them, the general social features of the occasion werejQstly appreciated. Our people enjoyed greatly the com pany of the preachers and delegates in their homes, and we-feel that the event was really a benediction upon the community. Bishop Key has left an impression that will be last ing. His sermons, on Wednesday night and Sunday following, were grandly eloquent and deeply spir itual. S His visit to our town- will be treasured among -its dearest mem ories. The Methodist Conference, after a .session of three days, adjourned on Saturday but most of the ministers and delegates remained over until Monday ia order to hear the Bishop preach on Sunday. 0 j 1 Misses ! Maggie Steele, Hannah Covington, and Mattie McAulay re turned last week from Pe'ace Insti tute, Raleigh, and Miss Rosa Butler from Greensboro Female College.

Let us be jn the van-guardv Surely we have need to be if we expect to over cpme the enemy in the approaching struggle, find victory we must have. is not impossible ; it is not doubtful even if we thoroughly organize and concentrate our forces. The young Democracy is a power; upon it de volves much of the labor of the cam paign, and upon it depends, in great measure, the success of the party. Let us, then, begin the work of or ganization without delayand begin an aggressive campaign. We would suggest that the Young Men's Dem ocratic Club be a separate organiza tion from the township club, though the young men might also retain their membership in the latter, which may be organized later on. There is no teasori why we should not have an active earnest Young Men's Dem ocratic Club in Rockingham, and we hope to see one organized at once. 1 P. S. A meeting will be held in the courthouse to-night (Thursday) for the purpose of organizing. -Let every Democrat turn out. Don't FORGET IT. Conference' Notes. v " Bishop Key left ori Monday last for his home in Oxford, Ga. He has presided at eight District Confer ences continuously since he left Georgia,-and will be glad of the op portunity for a rest of a few days. He is capable of doing, and does ac complish, a vast deal of work in the Episcopal office. Mr. E. J. Lilly, of Fayetteville, was present as a delegate in the late District Conference held here his first visit to our town in 12 vears. mf He left on Monday to visit friends in Wadesboro before his return home. Dr. T. M. Jones, President of Greensboro Female College-, was a J. L. Stone, of Raleigh, N. C, has just returned from N. Y.

On Thursday morning Miss Ma mie McKinnon returned from the Deaf and Dumb Institute of Raleigh, accompanied hy her teacher, Miss Fettie Marshall, of Chatham county, who will spend a part of the sum mer months as the guest of M.

Reid. editor of the Raleigh Christian Advocate, and re cently appointed by the Bishop as Presiding Elder in the place of the late Dr. Wilson, was in attendance on the Conference. We are glad to know that his paper is prosperous and bids fair to become more so, Without attempting to individual ize, we would state the fact of the audience by which the Institute was filled from corner to corner. This estimable and accomplished young ladv has assuredly won an envia ble place for herself in our best so ciety, and will be remembered long and kindly by all with whom she was associated. Six gold medals were presented by John D.Shaw.jr in a very appropriate speech; and Professor McKinnon wasinducea by the excellent behavior ot tne au dience to speak in the highest terms of their conduct.
