Met Last Week-Bishop Foster Pre sidingIntelligent Body of rien Fine Sermons, Appointments, &c. The annual meeting of the Noith Carolina Conference was held in our town during the past week, and the proceedings were highly impressive. Bishop Randolph S. Foster, of Bos ton, presiding, with Rev. E. W. Mor ris, Professor at Bennett Seminary, at Greensboro, Secretary. Bishop Foster is quite much ad vanced in years, yet he has great abilities, and is full of zeal in doing a great work among the colored peo ple He is ably assisted by Rev. Dr. Cooke, President of Grant Universi ty, Tenn. Both these able ministers are white, though their work is among the colored people. Among the latter there were a number of ministers and laymen in attendance, numbering about eighty. They were a fine looking and intelligent body of ministers who showed culture, or atory and knowledge of scripture, which showed great adyance in edu cation among the colored race and we wish continued success. The Bishop preached a powerful sermon on Sunday morning at Opera House to a large and attentive con gregation. His sermon left a deep impression on the minds of his hear ers. He at times showed that he was well grounded in faith and in script ural information. Rev. Edward W. S. Hammond, M. D., Editor of Southwestern Chris tian Advocate, preached an interest ing sermon Sunday night at Opera House. He has superior gifts as a pulpit orator, and the white persons who heard Him were delighted with his power and eloquence. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock the Bishop ordained several minister in the presence of a large congregation. At the white Methodist Church Sunday morning and night Dr. Cook occupied the pulpit to the great plea sure of the large congregations. His efforts were of a very high order and showed he possessed great power as a preacher as well as a man of learn ing. All who heard him were un stinted in their praise of his two re markably eloquent and convincing sermons. The sermon delivered in the morning was one hour and fif teen minutes in length, and was one of the ablest we ever had the pleas ure of listening to. We have not space to give the pro ceedings of the Conference,. They were of a most proper character and intelligently treated. This branch of the Southern Meth odist Church is conected with North ern influence and is helped by assist ance from the North. In North Carolina it is divided in to several districts and the Bishop made the following appointments: WINSTON DISTRICT ISAAC WELLS, PRESIDING ELDER. Advance, S. M. Haynes. Ashboro, W. H. Smith.

The good order that was apparent throughout the sessions of the con ference and the able and dignified manner of the proceedings of the conference reflects high credit on the delegates and on the colored peo ple of this section. There were some SO preachers and laymen in attendance and our col ored people entertained them in hand style and with great credit to our town. It will be seen that Rev. T. S. Stitt, who has faithfully served the church in Oxford, goes to Lexington. He has made many friends in Oxford among both white and colored who regret to lose him. Clincher on Settle. The Greensboro correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says that Graham is putting the screws to Set tle these days in such a way that the latter, wily as he is, cannot satisfac torily explain himself. When pressed about his missing so many roll calls he said he was attending committee meetings. Graham wrote to the clerk of the commitree re ferred to and received in reply an affidavit that out of thirty-seven committee meetings Settle was pres ent at just seven. Confronted with this Settle then said that the rela tions existing between himself and the chairman of the committee weie so strained that he could not afford to attend. Graham wrote to the chairman of the committee and re ceived the reply that he had never heard before of any strained rela tions between himself and Settle; on the contrary they were on excellent terms. Doath of Lucy B. Russell. It is a sad duty to have to record the death of this beautiful and ac complished young lady .who was the pride of her parents,John C. Russell, Esq., and his excellent wife, former ly Miss Emma Harris. She died on Sunday morning last at 4 o'clock at the residence of Mr. J. A. Webb. Miss Lucy was the granddaughter of two of Granville's estimable phy sicians, the late Dr. James Russell and Dr. Wm. R. Harris. The sympathies of hundred of peo ple in Granville go out in sorrow to the parents and relatives of Miss Lucy. She was indeed a lovable character and during her visit here two years ago won the esteem and affection of all her friends and relatives. Her malady was that terrible scourge of human family, consumption, How often are the good, the amiable, the bright, the lovely of earth taken from earth by this incurable form of hu man ailment. To her mother who was with her and her father who was at his home in St. Louis, we offer our tenderest words of condolence. The remains were deposited in the old Harris family burying ground near Enon on Sunday in the pres ence of many mourning relatives and friends. DAVE SPENCER ON FUSION. His Second Visit to Third Party Head quarters. The great Dave Spencer was a welcome visitor at Jesse Pitchford's Third party headquarters after the Republican eonventiod. When he entered the inner chamber and the doors were closed behind him, he stepped up close to the man who had been kneeling and shedding tears to bring about fusion and said: " 'Be tween me and you' you can jest git right up off dem dar knees, as Ise wid you, along wid Bill Royster and Bill Crews; since dem tears have come to be silver wheels. Dem dai eagles catches me every time I hear dem flutter. Fur a fact de wise man am a mighty ding fool not ter want ter feel de weight of dem in his pocket. When dem shining things come'rolling round, I jest follow dem right to de hole, and I change at once. Jest don't you shed no more dem dere wet tears over de fusion business any more, for we jest count ed de fusion carried any how wid dem silver tears dat you drapped and jest beat dat man Tilley and Taz Taylor for de Legislater, but dad drat it I got swamped in de mess. Dey were for straight business, and we jest sot dare and daturally fig ured dm niggers out. Yes, we did do it. Oh hush man, we jest got dar on Dalby too. 'Between me and you' he said he had been powerful badly persecuted by everybody and dat silver pill you give me brought me around and cured me of dat ter rible case of publican fever dat I caught from Taz Taylor as I was so ciating wid him mighty often some time ago." After feeling of the silver pulse of the mogul a few times Dave stuck his fingers in his vest, put his weather-beaten dirby on the back of his head and walked out and joined Bill Royster and Bill Crews in expound -ing the great need of fusion in order that Peace, Dalby and Cozart should be elected. Smiling Jim's Buying Trick. Mr. Editor The Pops are mak ing a great hue and cry about honest elections, yet, it is reported that Smiling Jim Cozart is attending the Republican leagues held by the negroes and promising them certain sums of money, for a certain amount of votes for W. S. Cozart for Sheriff payable after the election. I simp ly ask is the report true ? I have the information from a reliable source. Anti-Populist. Coming Home. The great mass of Populists are honest. They trust their leaders im plicitly. They have been betray(d and sold and many of them in Grar yille are fast finding it out and re- turning to the Democratic party. That party invites them to come back and they will receive a timely welcome. Quite a number of them have renounced allegiauce to the so-called reform party and have joined their old friends. Among the names of those that we remember are Messrs. Lerov Elliott, Ben El liott and "Bully" Elliott, of Oak Hill; Ralph Currin, William Wood and D. C. Walker, of Dutchville, J. P. Mize, of Tally Ho; J. W. Free man of Wilton. We honestly wel come these men back into the Dem ocratic fold, and all others who we have not heard of, and trust they will buckle on the armor and fight for the protection of North Carolina and Granville against misrule.
