Revival Meeting In the Baptist Church. Rev. C. J D. Parker, of Ports mouth, Va., is here conducting a re vival meeting in the Baptist church. He commenced the services Monday night, and at the very beginning of the meeting he made a most favor able impression on all that heard him. Already deep interest is man- fested in the meeting, and services Tuesday night were especially im pressive. Mr. Parker is a preacher of great power and presents the gospel with much earnestness and effect. Few men are so gifted with his fluency of meech. and with it all he preaches the gospel in a style and manner al together logical and convincing. He ha3 had great success as a pastor evangelist, is a young man of vigor ous activities and throws his whole soul and powers into his work. Even those who might care not for reli gion are greatly pleased and benefit ted by hearing him. This is a rare opportunity for the people of Scot land Neck and community to hear gospel truth in great power and to learn more of the blessed story of redemption to the world through Jesus Christ. Truly that story is being told in our midst with pathos and tenderness and effect which one seldom hears.

Quite a large crowd of our folks went to the Emporia Fair last Thurs day and report plenty of dust, and a good time. Your correspondent spent last Fri day in Elm City, being called there by the death of an aunt, who had lived a consistent Christian life for nearly fifty years. Though our heart was saddened by the loss we sustain ed, it was a pleasure to look again upon the scenes of our childhood. There are many changes of course there as elsewhere, our grandmoth er's old homestead is no more, it havinsr been replaced long since by a house more modern, but the old long sweep well was there, and Oh! how good that water tasted, just as it did when grandma used to draw, and we drank from the long-handled gourd, and went chasing thebutter- flys and resenting the threatening attitude of those old geese, while we tried to capture a gosling. Happy vouth. perhaps if we could live it over again taking into it some of the extremely hisrh-priced experiences which we have had it would be a safe-guard against some of the f ollys and vices of which we have been eniltv. but we cannot re-trace our steps, we live our lives only once; we can only redeem the flippant care lessness of the past, by our adher ence to sound Christian principals in the future. College and Umver sitv students receive their rewards in medals and diplomas, we who run f the Christian race receive ours only when we enter the pearly gates. The satisfaction of knowing the Judge will be impartial, should encourage us, as we have an equal chance with the other man. Would Mortgage The Farm.

Albertson at her hospitable home in the country, on Tuesday afternoon from four to six o'clock. It was an ideal autumn day, the drive out being an added pleasure to the anticipation of a pleasant after noon. The house was beautifully decorated with quantities of pink roses, geraniums and dahlias. The ruddy glow thrown out from the bright fire in the large open fire place matched well with the flow ers. The meeting was called to order by the President. Mrs. G. S. White, Miss Adelaide Smith was the essay ist and Mrs. W. H. Josey the reader for the afternoon. Miss Smith's subject was "The Re ligious Literature of the English Lanffuaere. Her paper was instruc tive showing much study and deep research. Mrs. Josey read a few pages from Taive's Literature, showing us how the earlv Enelish Literature is re garded and estimated by a foreign er the writer being a Frenchman. After a general discussion, the guests were invited into the dining room. The long table with several small tables was daintily laid, the centrepieces on these tables were bowls of exquisite roses and dahlias, all pink. The color scheme of pink and green was well carried out in the dainty refreshments consisting of lobster and shrimp salad served in green peppers garnished with pastry, olives, cheese, wafers, beat en biscuit, coffee and cream. A spirit of informality was the characteristic vote of this meeting, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the guests who will all agree that Mrs. Albertson is a delightful hos tess.

I wish to say that while I fully ap preciate the support of my friends for the office of Sheriff, I am strong ly of the opinion that it is not the time to bring out a new ticket. While there is a great deal of dis satisfaction among the people, I am thoroughly of the opinion that we can settle these differences in two years in the Democratic ranks. I therefore beg that my name shall not be used for the office of Sheriff. I shall always remember with the highest appreciation the support of those true men who have been so loyal to me.
