D. jHORNE ANOTHER LETTER SUGGESTING THE NAMES OF A FEW MEN FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER. Writer Says that this Office is very Important and Should be filled by Good Men Names a few whofn he Thinks Would Make good Commis sioners. Mr. Editor :- Tne aate for the primary will, be here wry scon ami one of the most important things 'to be done on titat day is to nominate a board of County Commissioners and I agree with "I. 11. D." This position Jtiioulud be fill ed by the best business men of the county men who have managed theda own 'business success! ully; men of a good sound judgement; broad-mmded men; men with a good nerve and a stiiff backbone; men that know the true vialue of a dollar. Now iif we go to the primary and vote at ran dom, for Tern, Dick, and Harry, be cause they are good clever feUo'WS, we will make a' mistake. It is not good clever fellows Ave are al'ter,but good commissioners. I don't suppose there i's a man in the county that wiouid make good commissioner that wants the place but surely we can select five men in the county that would be Avilliing to make sacrifices, for tne good of the county. Our taxes are increasing every year and I am not oppesed to tax es for our gocd, provided, they are AvLseiy and judiciously spent,' but I am opposed to electing men that know but little of the A'alue of a dol lar. The names suggested by "I. H. D." are good men and a majority of them would make good Commisisio ers. Now the thing to do is as he suggests. Let each toATnship select one man and let every other good , man see them personally and induce them to accept the ptlace. I believe this can be done. I believe there are men in every town-snip that would make competent commissioners, and s would accept if they had some assur-; an.ee that the whole board would be good men. Then oilier men not mentioned by "I. H. D." that would be all right to suggest a few: A. J .Dickers c it, C. II. Cheatham, S. C. Hobgood, J. B. Mayes, M. Blialock, tilts' is an. imporatnt matter and Ave should bestir ourselves- and nominate a good board. "E. C. H." ma m mi WAKE'S NEXT SENATOR. Prof. E. V.

Dr, Sikes is in fail fettle nad will soon enter vigorously into the cam paign in the county. Many- who saw him in Raleigh yestrdeay echoed the Avlshes cf the great maojrity of Dem ocrats of the county by saluting him as "Senator Sikes." While here he -was pressed to come to Raleigh to. make an address, and he avt.11 do it at a " Aery early date, and besides speaking in this city he Avill make ad dresses at a number of other places in the county.

Good Speeches C rowda a r.d On Sunday ?rd Snginn Large a Pleasant Day. May tfhe 29th a Sun day School and Laymen's meeting was held at the Baptist Church at Proviidence.This meeting Avas for the purpose of advancing tire interest cf a Larger attendance cf the se-hooj al so tio create mere in tercet in Foreign Missions. Mr. B. F. Hester of Enon Churcii presided ever the school wort with -responses from Mr. Joe Currin. Dr. Meadowis, Prof. Hcbgocd, Mr. Ed Howard and Mr. Ed Duncan. These gentlemen made able discu&sions as to how to obtain a larger? attend anice of the children, aLso of title grown people to tihe Sunday Schools. Now the Avriter being a wouian, sh could net speak but can say here, my plan would be this. First txat all parents should begin to teach tihe chilidren as soon as can be tajug'ht, the Ixcrd's prayer, that the place for thme on the Sabbath morning would be tihe Sabbath School, then if the pa rents can attend themselves, do so by all means. Then I Avould say to the grown up girls, iif you .want ycur best boys to be good, set the exam ple. And attend the Sunday School regularly, and see if they &ir enot as prompt to be there as you are. So now young ladies you have a great responsibility resting v.pn. you to save a number of young men by at tending the Sunday School., Again all children are not alike. You have to offer anducelments to them in 'tihe Avay of pictures., cards, also a Christ mas tree etc. Pro i. Hobgcod's idea of the ser ration of the classes Avas gocd; the infants should have a separate de partment by all means. The sub ject of each gentleman was ably and well handled ;t:hey were eloquent ana t.ouen:irg- :a.nd we trusm tne ur gent apeals of these Christian men will) be a stimulus in the Aay of a larger attendance to tihe Sunday SdhooLs. Before the exercises closed they had an ordination of two dea cons which service was solomn and impressive. Th Avell-cho-en remarks by Dr. Marsh in regard to the man- n.e.r ita whidh deacons and their wiv should conduct themselves was good. They should be moderate a ind grave, to set an example for the followers The Sunday School exercises were held (in the morning and after they were over Rev Mr. Stradley arose.anc announced that the hour for dinner had arrived. The good people had nreoamed an excellpn-t. mpal ar.l T1 of the people were welcome. And all of the ftn.e Jinn? n vlfl nencle i-.i at- tend21n.ee as wa.si estima.ted, psrtook cf this delicious meal.

They had the pleasure of attending the great Laymen s' meeting at Greens boro Avhieh enabled them to tell us a great deal more than Ave know. I trust and -believe people were benefitted by the whole days services. Now if it is not out of place to mention AAihat I aim going to say, Aiiich in my feeble judgement I believe is cor rect.
