We are very sorry to learn that Mr. J. Y.

The services held by the Odd Fellows in the Opera House Sunday night were opened with prayer by Rev. J. II . Hall, Chaplain, and conducted by Rev. W. L. Ounninggim, Past Chaplain, were in terestinir, impressive and instructive. The sermon was taken from 1st Samuel, 28th chap. 1st verse: "And it came to pass, when ue had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." The large congregation assembled w as deeply interested for more than an honr, by the story of Jonathan's life, his confid ing a Sid sacrificing love for David. In the course of his sermon he spoke of the Odd fellows with great enlightenment to the congregation upon the objects and alms of the organization. Friendship is its cardinal virtue, and it is by Friend ship, Love and Truth to and for one an other that they try to better the social condition of mankind. Such an organization as this obeying the command of God, to love one another, and manifesting their earnestness both by precept-ami example, is a great factor in the cause of Christ. We hope that this order may continue to grow and finally join hands with the church, and by its Friendship, Love and Truth, from which eminate ail noble and God intended vir tues, assist in the salvation of man to a world of eternal love and perfect happi ness. At the conclusion of the sermon Rev. Joseph Rennie led in prayer, which was as beautiful as it was earnest. Rev. Dr. Black pronounced the benediction. The music upon this occasion was es pecially beautiful, the best singers in town taking pu t. 1'i-izes A vai-!'i. Mr. J. C. Hundley, who has a class of boys in the Methodist Sunday School, offered several prizes the first of last year for prompt attendance. Ou Sunday last the prizes were awarded and Master Leak Peace captured the first, as he did not miss a single Sunday during the 3ear. Master Marvin Minor won the second, having been absent only one Sunday dur ing the year. Master Frank Spencer, for absenting himself only two Sundaj'S, was awarded third prize. For punctual at tendance over 47 Sundays, Masters Henry Hundley, Willie Minor, Robert Herbert, Willie Herbert, Wright Spencer, Willis Peace, Jell Allison and Johnny Grifrin were all awarded prizes. The following prizes were awarded by the Superintendent, Mr. John W. Ha3rs, for punctual attendance during the year: Boy Furguson and Leak Peace, attend ance o2 Sundays, $2 each, Daisy Minor and Marvin Minor, attendance 51 Sun days, $1 each ; May Hundley, who has answered to her name every Sunday for two years, was awarded a gold medal, as was also Nannie King, Mamie Tyler, Eva Minor and Luna Usry, who were present every Sunday during 1880. We are glad to learn that the school is in a flourishing condition, and that the prospect for 1800 is of a most flattering character. Every member of the church should consider it his or her bounden duty to assist in carrying on this great work of the church, by inculcating into the minds of the children the virtues and principles of the Christian religion and raising them up in the "nurture and ad monition of the Lord." The ISnitfist College. We are more than glad to see that our people have fully awakened to the im- ; portance of t'-jing to secure the estab ! lishment of the Baptist College in Ox i ford. A large and enthusiastic meeting I was held in the Opera House Friday even- ing to consider the matter. Rev. C. A. Jinkins made a splendid speech full of good sense and sound rea soning, showing the great and lasting benefit Oxford would derive from the es tablishment of this institution in our midst, which carried conviction to the large audience present. Hon. R. W. Winston made a plain and practical speech, and urged the people not to allow this opportunity to pass as it would never be offered again. Dr.'R. II. Marsh, Rev. J, S. Haulaway and others, made some well timed re marks, urging the importance of immedi ate action upon the part of our citizens if they wish to secure the coilege. The meeting actually got down to busi ness and a considerable amount of money was raised in a short time. We hope every one of our citizens will come up open handed and let us secure this grand institution for Oxford. We can do it if our people will pull together with the determination to win.

We take pleasure in directing the at tention of our readers to the tobacco report, which will show that Oxford is a live market and 1 he place to which farm ers should bring their tobacco if they desire to realize the highest prices. Our market is now headquarters for the farmers and our buyers are liberal and public spirited, and are now paying prices on all grades that are bound to prove satisfactory. On diligent enquiring we find that cut ters are bringing as good prices on this market as any other. The reputation of our market has certainly won the prize for high prices, and there is not a market in the State holding larger orders for all grades than Oxford. It is a notorious fact that we can pay as high prices as any other market in the State. Fire in ClarUsville, Va.

Senator Vance, of North Carolina, has very decided views on the ' race question," and he w ill pro bably give them to the country in his characteristic style before the present Congress terminates. He diifers from Senators Hampton and Butler materially as to the best means of settling the negro problem. He contends that nothing sub stantial can be accomplished in that direction by the legislation contained in the several bills now pending in Congress "It is not a question," says he "that can be settled by long speeches and complicated statutes, but it is one that must be left en tirely to the Southern people to work out in their own wvy and in their own time Our Republican friends on the other side of the Senate chamber must have confidence in us and be patient with those men in the Southern States who are hon estly and hopefully working to bring about a better condition of things. Those of us in l lie South who have been brought in contact with the negro ever since we were born are better able to work out this problem than those gentlemen on the other side of the chamber, who are actu ated entirely by political motives and the desire for personal notoriety. If they will let us alone and keep their contam inating agents away from the colored people of the South the problem will work itself out to the satisfaction of all concerned. "It is this constant interference on the part of Northern politicians," continued the Senator, "that causes most of the trouble among the colored people of the South. Why, at this moment I have in my desk letters from colored men in my State asking me to see a certain republi can Senator about some money claimed to be due for political work done during the last campaign. It appears that these col ored men were employed to do certain work for the republican managers in the last contest, and were promised a money consideration for the labor performed. Times are hard and crops are not the best down my wajr, so these republican work ers who put their shoulders to the Har rison wheel want me to help them get their money. I declare, said the Senator, smiling at the idea of presenting the let ters in question to one of the richest re publicans in the Senate, "I am almost too tenderhearted to do such an uncharitable piece of business. The question in my mind is which will suiter most ? The Senator, upon being brought face to face with such an unrighteous debt, or the poor darkies being kept out of their hard earned money." The Senator does not believe in the Morgan proposition to send the negro back to Africa. Such a scheme will not in his estimation be sanctioned by a ma jority of the white people of the Southern States. He does not believe the negroes want or demand equality, and thinks they are satisfied to move along in their own channels of life until the Northern politi cians fill their minds with ideas of poltical supremacy over the whites. "It might as well be understood now," adds Mr. Yance, "that the white people of the South can not and will not submit to anything of that kind. It would block the wheels of progress in the South, and would destroy that kind feeling that still exists in so many places between the former master and the servant. A large majority of the colored people there are very well satis fied with their present lot and if they are let alone they will work out their own sal vation among the people who hav actually done more for them in the past than their- new anu ovt-i iuuus political menus at . . -r- . 1 T f f a "XT .1 the iNortn. ii any oi tne iNortnern leaders V are anxious to have one-half of the nrrj-i--ponulation of the South transferred to the - Northern and Western States the South -ern people will not complain, but will.
