Thirty five States will be represented. Dr. Abernathy has already secured three thousand dollars, to rebuild Ruth erford College. He says he expects to rebuild it if he lives long enough. The State board of canvassers will assemble in Raleigh Thursday, Nov. 27, and make official returns of the State and Congressional votes in the recent election. Cards are out for the marriage of John T. Schaaff of Washington, D. C-, to Miss Lillian Arnold, the talen ted and widely-known daughter of Rev J. D. Arnold of the North Caro lina Conference. The ceremony will take place at Centenary Methodist Church, Richmond, Nov, 27th. The superintendents of the city schools and the county superintendents of public instruction will hold a meet ing in the city of Raleigh, beginning the - 26 of December, for the purpose of discussing educational matters lnis meeting is looked lorwara to as one from which much good will result. The Winston correspondent of the Raleigh State Chronicle says: Quite a sensation was caused here yesterday when it was found that two young ladies of Salem, whose chaiacter is un questioned, took $200 of their fathers money and boarded the train tor the North. Various theories as to the rea son of their action have bsen heard, but the prevaling, impression is that they eloped for the purpose of marrying some where in the North, while a great many think they had a traveling mania. 1 he relatives ot the young ladies are sorely distressed and have telegraphed all the authorities along the different lines to arrest them. 1 he Washington y-wsays : it is a rather curious feature of the Farmers' Alliance campaign that it produced a crop of orators. The rules of the Al liance forbid the admission of lawyers, school-teachers, ministers and other professional talkers, and thus the farm ers have been compelled to do their own speech-making. The result has been interesting. Men who were hitherto dumb have developed a latent 1 1 oratorical ability, and many wno are now the Alliance lecturers were a few month ago saying nothing more than "Gee ! whoa !" to - an ox team. A man named Freeman, living at Hen dersonville, in the N. C. moun tains, is a conspicuous example of this change. He is tall and guant, like most- mountaineers, and he smokes a stuby clay pipe, that contin ally threatens to burn Lis nose. But like the prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains, he is a wonderful talker, rivaling Wendell Phillips in fervid eloquence, with a voice as musical as Patti's, but strong enough to reach 10,000 people in the open air. On the streets of Washington Jie would look like a day laborer, but when he opens his mouth, if all reports are true, no dog would dare to bark.

Harris yes terday Afternoon. Durham Sun. j The bells toll solemnly. Trinity church is draped in mourn ing, and has been tastily decoxated with white chrysanthemums by loving hands. In the vestibule were two small stands heavily draped in mourning bearing bowls' of white flowers. Just back of the pulpit on both sides were lovely pyramids of beuatiful flow ers. "Let me die the death of the righteous wrought in white flowers and outlined with black cloth, rested on the wall to the left of the pulpit. "And let my end be like his," was to the right. The funeral dirge was expressive of deep sorrow. Our citizens met with sympathetic hearts and paid the last tribute of respect to one esteemed and beloved wherever he was known. The following ministers acted as pallbearers: Rev. J. F. Crowell, of Trinity College, Dr. B. F. Dixon, of Greensboro Female College, Rev. Dr. J. H. Cordon, of Edenton Street Church, Raleigh, Rev. W. I,. Cun inggim, Oxford, Rev. D. L. Earn hard, Burlington, Rev. R.H. Whitaker, of Chapel Hill Church and Revs. T. J. Gattis and R. F. Bumpass, of Dur ham. V . The funeral was largely attended one of the largest we have ever wit nessed in Duham. Dr. E. A. Yates preached from the text: Let me die the death of. the righteous and let my last end be like his." It was a very impressive sermon. Our time is limit ed; we wish we could dwell upon his earnest words. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. ' Among them was a magnificent Gate Ajar of exquisite flowers from Main St M.E. Church. On one end of the ribbon at tached to it was the following inscrip tion: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. " The other end contained this: "Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not me only but unto all them also that love his appearing." "' . Another beautiful tribute was from Carr Church which represented a Star and Crescent of lovely flowers. The ribbon bore the sweet promises: "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.," "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. A lovely cross of choice flowers was the offering from Trinity Church. And among others handsome offerings from Mrs. B. N. Duke and Mrs R. E. Lyon. " -. . ..." . . 1 The remains, was borne to the city cemetery, the bells of Trinity and Main street churches tolling during the march, and there laid to rest, attended by a vast concourse of people.
