The large audience at Williams Hall last night attested its appreciation of the entertainment given by the pupils of Miss Lizzie Bolton's school by frequent bursts of.applause. There were many novel fea tures, and if some of the youthful actors at times seemed a little awkward, they were good naturedly encouraged by the spectators. Mr. H. H. Bolton makes a fine stage manager, and his beaming coun tenance seemed present everywhere. Left Here in 1835. Messrs. Thos. E and J. V. Brown, o Asheville, are in the city. 'They were born and raised here, but in 1835 their parents moved away. This is the first visit the brothers have made to Fayette- ville since then. They said they would not have recognized the town at all, ex cept for the Market House and one or two other old builings. They were delighted with the looks of the present city, and enjoyed talking old times with the "old timers." The County Democratic Conrention. Now that the State committee has set June 25th for the holding of the State convention, it is time to think of calling the County convention to elect delegates. We understand that a meeting of the County Executive committee will be held in a week or so to call such convention. According to the. last. Democratic vote cast for Governor, in this county, we are entitled to send 16 delegates to the State convention, one delegate for each 150 votes, and one for a fraction of 75 or more. Knocked Down by a Tramp. -. This morning about 1 o'cock, Mr. John Monaghan found a colored tramp asleep in the cab of au engine in the C. F. & Y. V. Railroad eugine house. He ordered the man out and turned off to get . some water from the- pump in, the. shed, when he was knocked down .with a coupling pin. Mr. Monaghan was too badly hurt to stand, but he managed to rise up on his elbow, draw his pistol, and fire at the retreating figure. He could' not tell whether he hit the rascal or not. The Fight Between the Seaboard and. Month ern Railways. The Washington Post of April 6, says The Seaboard Air Line and the South ern system, in their fight for control of independent routes, are now engaged in a war for the possession of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway, which runs from Mount Airy to Wilmington, N. C, tapping the heart of the mineral, agricul tural, and timber districts of North Caro lina. This road is now in the hands of a receiver, and the New York members of the reorganization committee favor its sale to the Southern Railway. The mem bers from Baltimore, however, are in the majority and they strongly advocate the acceptance of the Seaboard Air fine's proposition to purchase this road. It now looks very much as if tfie latter will be successful and the Southern now threatens to tap the Seaboard's territory by the construction of a branch line to Southern Pines, connecting with the Ab erbeen and West End Railway, and thus reaching -at once the Seaboard's best tim ber districts and its greatest and most widely advertised resort. Mr.W.K.Parker of Cumberland Mills and superintendent Holmes of Beaver Creek and Bluff Mills were in town this morning. A Good Showing. At the Congregational meeting at the Presbyterian church last Wednesday night, Rev A. J. McKelway reported 48 addi tions to the church during the year. 7 by letter and 41 on profession of faith. About $3,000 was raised for all causes. During the 4 years of the present pastorate 210 members have been received, 48 by letter and 162 on profession faith, bringing up the resident membership from 280 to 413. The Conrocation. At St. John's church, yesterday evening, the Rev. F. N. Skinner preached an in structive discourse upon the effects pro duced by belief or non-belief in the resurrection of Christ in the lives of individuals and nations. This morning, after Morning Prayer, the Rev. Stewart McQueen read a carefully prepared paper discussing the mind and attitude of the Anglican communer with reference to the subject of church unity, and more particularly to certain resolu tions looking to that desirable end intro duced into the last Convention of the Epis copal Church by the Rev. Dr. Huntington, of Grace church, New York. The paper abounded in interesting points, and showed an earnest desire on the part of the learned divine for the realization of the prayer of Christ that all should be one. The essay was followed by a short off hand discussion of the subject by Dr. Strange, Dr. Huske, Dr. Carmichael, and Rev. Messrs. Wooten and Hughes. To-night all the clergy are expected to be present at Even Song at St. Phillip's in Campbellton. THE CHURCHES TO-MOEEOW. BAPTIST REV. C. A. G. THOMAS, PASTOR. V. Regular servipes to-morrow.'
