Watson, Bishop of st Carolina, made his annual visitation to the several churches in this city yester- ay- At St. John's, in the morning, he confirmed nine candidates; at St. Philip's the afternoon he confirmed twenty th"e, and at St. Joseph's (colored) at D1gnt he confirmed eight. Bishop Watson preached a powerful sermon at St. John's yesterday morning- Q fact it was one of the finest sermons we ever listened to. His text was, "Jesus of Nazareth passeth J and in a simple yet marvelously elo vent fanner and in the most, beautiful o., ue aesenbed the . meeting ; of - and the blind beggar, and drew and many deeP wMiona thoughts Death of Mm. James P. Hodges. Mrs. Flora Hodges, wife of James P. Hodges, and mother of John M. and Dr. J. Allison Hoderes and Mrs. Jesse Smith, died at her residence in Little River Academy Saturday evening at 6.30 o'clock. Mrs. Hodges, ,who was in her 79th year, was a daughter of Col. Kenneth Murchi son, of Harnett county, j She was a Chris tian lady, greatly beloved and respected by every one who knew) her. Beloved for her kindness apd charity and respected for her uncommon intelligence. She leaves a large number of relatives and friends who deeply mourn her death.' The funeral took place at 11 o'clock this morning from the Presbyterian church at Little River Academy. Dr. Hodges, her youngest son, arrived from Richmond last night, and attended the funeral this morning. The Guerrant meeting. Rev. Dr. Guerrant preached his last sermon last night. The andiences have grown at each service since the meeting began, and last night the immense Arm ory was not sufficient to hold the people. Many seeing the jam of humanity there, turned and went away. It was a memor able occasion, and probably the largest number of people that were ever gathered under one roof in the city of Fayetteville were present. As early as 6:30 the people began to drift into the Armory. By 7 o'clock a steady stream of humanity crowded the streets, all eager to secure the best seats. By 8 o'clock every available seat and all standing room had been taken, and des pite a drizzling rain, which set in about this hour, they continued to come until no room was left. After reading the last part of the 15th chapter of St. Luke, containing the par able of the prodigal son , after which a song by the choir of 50 voices was beautifully rendered, Dr. Geurrant then took his text, which was the "Parable of the prodigal son." He asked 1st, what God called the sinner ? His son ! not a rebel, not a stran ger, not an outcast. He called attention to the fact that it was the youngest son that left his home, and that the youngest one in a family was loved the best. He point ed out the folly of sinners; the misery of sin; the famine of the soul and the pleas ures of the world as nusks His descrip tion of the death of the infidel was fine, and made a great impression. He said that God runs to meet you as the father ran to meet his son; clothes you in the robe of righteousness and welcomes you home. He then extended an invitation to the people to arise and go to their Father; to come back home. Many went to the front and gave their hand to him and their heart to God. Dr. Guerrant then asked the choir to sing that old song, "Come we that love the Lord." They sang the song, and as the familiar melody swelled upward and out into the night there were many eyes wet with tears. The benediction was pro nounced; the immense volume of people emptied themselves into the streets; the Armory was deserted, and the Guerrant meeting, which has been productive of so 1 much good, was a memory. Commissioners Court. A. J. Hall, formerly post master at Robin Hill, and under bond to appear in the U. S. Court to answer to the charge of false cancellation of stamps, failed to ap pear, and yesterday was arrested and taken before U. S. Commissioner Jno. R. Smith and committed to jail by U. S. deputy marshal, J. W. Atkinson. It is said that his brother went before the Federal court at Raleigh and stated that the defendant was dead. Before nol pros ing the case investigation was made with the above results. The Searletina. Quite a scare has been caused in the community by the presence of Scarletina. There are ten or twelve cases in the city but all of light form and not likely to spread if the directions of the Health officer are followed. At a meeting of the Board of Health this morning at which all the physicians were present, the matter was thoroughly discussed. It was decided that there was not suf- ficent cause to close the schools but that all the children of any family in which there is a case must be kept at home. The cause of the trouble was traced to a certain school which was attended by two children who had had the disease and who the doctors say no doubt caught it from their father, a travelling man, though he did not have it himself. Dr. McGougan, the health officer, has notified all the schools to observe every precaution, sanitary and otherwise. A placard bearing "Scarlet Fever" will be placed on the door of every infected house. The following houses are infected so far as we can learn : Jas. F. Johnson's, Pryor Johnson's, R. McMillan's, J. E. Garrett's, John R. McNeill's on Haymount, W. H. Tomlinson's, B. R. Hall's, over the river, and three colored people's houses, two near the cemetery and one near the oil mills.
