Messrs. Stewart and Larner, of New York. Preparations have been made at Bur gaw to entertain these gentlemen on a lavish and hospitable scale. The Angola Bay tract is about nine miles ' from Biirgaw. Its prospective development will not only materially benefit Burgaw, but indirectly will en hance the interests of this city as well. There are more than: 47,000 acres in the Angola Bay tract. The land as it is at present is nothing more or less than a peat bog. The Canadian capitalists have been 'grant ed an option at 75 cents per acre on the entire tract by the State of jNorth; Carolina which owns the propertv. Certain conditions are attached (to the giving of the option. Tfrese require ments must be fulfilled to make the option operative, iq ; the event that it Is accepted: The State demands-that the property must be drained and de veloped, and that , the land mitst be cleared. The State also requires a certain percentage from the sale of timber on the tract, if the option is accepted., r The Angola Bay tract, as stated b6ve, is only a few miles from Bur gaw. If properly drained and devel oped it will constitute one of the most fertile and finest agricultural regions in the' entire south. The lowest point In the swamp is ten feet above tide. The representatives of the Canadian! capitalists will be the guests of the town of Burgaw during their inspec tion of the Angola Bay properties. It is confidently believed that the rights under the option will be accepted by the financial interests and that the f wamp will be developed. The people of Biirgaw are much interested Jn the consummation of 'the proposition and they wtti put forth every egrt to make,the investors realize the wonder ful ppssi$lits of the swamp land ;f it iws pmperly drained. f .,;t -' , n At. the BijoU-.

His morning theme was, "The Four Anchors," and the subject of his sermon at 7:45 p. m. was: "Sectarianism as. Viewed from a Bible Standpoint." Both ser mons were well received and nearly every one present seemed to have been profited by them. There was one accession to the church and oth ers promised to join later on. These meetings have been productive of much good both to the Fourth Street Church and also to the members of other churches who have attended them. ' i In closing this last service, Rev. C. H. Sweet, the pastor of the church, voiced the sincere regret of not only his own people, but of others who have attended the services, that they must so soon take their leave of Mr, Skipper, and he also gave expression to their appreciation of his exemplary Christian deportment during his stay in Wilmington, his unserving loyalty to his convictions of truth and his untiring efforts to bring sinners to Christ and to build Christians up in the Faith and Hope of the Gospel. He assured the -evangelist that they would follow him with their sympathy and their prayers as he returned to his field of labor in Florida.
