This come service was characteristic of the Christian unity existing among the different churches Green- and shows that the glad hand is extended to the new pastor, not only by the members of his-own congregation but also by aH the people of the town. There was a good pro- gram at this service. The Scrip, tore lesson and prayer was W. B. Powell, of the Christian church. Rev. F.

She went and looked in the hole that had the appearance of a grave, and was astonished to see a box expos- ed. matter needs said the policeman when he Lost a Valise.

It don't look like we are to hear the last of the problem. If dropped and let alone it would take care of itself. Mr. lorn seems as hard Chicago gets the republican to convince lie is Mr. Win. as does convention and June 21st is the date. The windy city will have plenty of blowing. Could Durham's latest strike be called an affray Jut two people engaged in it. If is the price for holding an inquest over a man, how much for a dog Cleveland might come North Carolina get a good lesson on duck shooting from Governor Aycock. Sure enough, something else did happen, and Rev. Massed has taken attention from Prof. for the being. If a political campaign should happen along now the speakers would not be in danger of getting egged. The price of the fruit would make such indulgence too The manufacturers need not squeal now that the cotton is in the hands of speculators who will not part with it except at a big They ought to have been in the market early and bought while the farmers had it to sell. Problem. The dog in dead. Tho dog had been dead two days the inquest was held one day. How old was the dog It is a dull day up in New Eng- land now when the report does not come that more wages of operatives in mills are being cut. It need occasion no surprise that tho police had to be called in to preserve order at a colored league in Washington City. The story now comes from Win- that, the cave recently discovered near that city was con- with a view of kidnapping s and keeping him a oner in the cave for a ransom. That is a very line idea. Holding inquests over dogs may not be a pleasant job, but if more of them were dead enough for an in- quest country would be better off. A big contest is on over the and the press dispatches say Mrs. Russell, wife of Ex-Gov. Russell, will likely be settled upon as a compromise. No need to jump on the Charlotte minister for his criticism of the Elks, lie spoke what he thought, and the question of has been much under consideration hold-ups have recently -occurred m Boston, the victims be- women, of the city judges advised women to carry pistols and shoot if assaulted.

Mr. Archibald editor of Charity and Children, the Thomas ville Orphanage paper, has had a flattering offer to go to another state It was a handsome compliment to the Baptist State Convention paid him in requesting, by rising vote, that he stay in North Carolina. He is among the best writers in the state. It is a bit amusing that when a preacher says something he has no business saying and the newspapers comment on it, the first chance he gets before a large gathering he jumps on the newspapers and wants them hanged in effigy or muzzled The state has witnessed two recent spectacles along this line. A dealer sends us a circular con Mining the distressing information that there is a sharp advance in the of diamonds. That is too bad, coming just at a time when we the need of so many of and have only to invest. It takes all kind of cranks to make up the world. William D. of Chicago, who was toast-master at a banquet of building contractors, refused to toast the American flag as the emblem of Liberty. In explain- his reason he emblem of Liberty is a farce. Men are shot down in the streets be- cause they are trying to earn an honest living, when we are afraid to assert our rights for fear some labor organization will oppose Such things as he states do occur, but that is no reason that our flag is not the emblem of Liberty. Because a law or a principle is abused does not annul them, and because liberty is abused does not discountenance the flag as its emblem.

In its personal notes of some of the men attending the Baptist the Charlotte Observer Again and again one looks above the heads of the other delegates and gazes upon face of the president of the Convention, Dr. R. II. Marsh, one of the most, of men. ITo hardly has an equal in this state or any state as a presiding officer- looking, impressive always, clear headed, eminently fair and firm, he rules the Convention easily and smoothly, and his every de- meets Dr. Marsh is a native of Pitt county and a graduate of the State He was converted while he was at the University. He was a tutor at Wake Forest College and the first chaplain Vance's Twenty-sixth North Carolina After the war he taught in the Oxford Female Seminary. For years he has faithfully served one at Hester, in Gran- ville county. A noble Christian, a simple clean is Dr. Marsh. The Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin of New York, in an editorial on December 7th, the government cotton re- ports and states that the government always makes reports below what the crop proves afterwards to be. It suggests that people find out in way what these reports are going to be beforehand and that the reports are used more as a basis of speculation than for anything else. It urges that these reports ought to be stopped. The Journal of Com- and Commercial Bulletin seems to think that the motive of the department in making re- ports, is to keep up prices for the benefit of the farmer, and it thinks further, the purpose which the report actually does serve is to equip and make trouble on the Girl In Knee Pants. A girl not sixteen, and she is only fourteen, has successfully all over the state of Virginia as a living well, a good time and paying few board bills. She was well dressed, wearing a cap and knee breeches and representing herself to be for magazines. In Richmond she registered as Harry N. Jones of Lowell, Mass., and though commit- ting fraud, as alleged in every town she successfully made her way. Her sex and identity were not dis- covered until she was arrested in Staunton. In that city she boarded at the Palmer House and visited the Y. M. C. A. She took special interest in the gymnasium and showed even for a boy, in the use of the parallel bars and other apparatus. A telegram to Lowell, Mass., brought a reply from the chief of police that Harry N. Jones was a girl who had worked in a mill there and ran away after committing a forgery Before the telegram came the girl had paid her bill and disappeared. One never gets old enough to people, or to positive lessons in contrasting them. There is a woman here who has suffered almost every sorrow and doesn't get one-thousandth part of the love she gives, and yet she goes around try- to say and do things to bless Another woman has never suffered physical pain, and is of feeling any other kind; she wears tailor-made has never faced trouble of any sort, and yet she never lives a day without saying of malice. One man here is poor and ill half the time, and he frets because he can do so little for other people. Another man is strong and more than passing rich and hon- and yet he harbors evil thoughts of his fellows and his it would prompt him to kick a dog for no cause. You never know ex- what is in the heart or head of the other fellow, or why it is there- in truth, a man dies without ever understood his own motives. Idle Comment in Charlotte Prosperous Farmers.

We take the following account of it from a Washington special to the Raleigh The republican party has thrown defiance to the winds and gone on record in favor of social equality The banquet at the Arlington hotel tonight, given by the national chair- man of the party, Senator Hanna, in honor of the members of the committee, will go down in history as a memorable affair, by reason of the fact that a was an honored guest. Judson W. Lyons, register of the treasury, who is the only member of the committee, was the most conspicuous guest present. He arrived in the nick of time, arrayed in evening and walked in the banquet hall arm in arm with leaders of the i republican party in the nation Ex-Judge W.

Talk about in the way of entertainments, if the Lilliputian wedding in connection with e bazaar in the opera Thurs- day night, has ever been surpassed in Greenville it is not in the of the writer. The pants were little tots, but the of a real marriage was never carried out with more grace and attractiveness than was shown by them. As might have been expected when an entertainment is given by the children, the audience was large, for the old folks, re member they were once child- themselves, feel a keen inter- est in what the little folks do. The curtain rose promptly at o'clock and the scene disclosed was a strikingly pretty was arranged to represent the in- of a church artistically de- for a marriage.

The bride, little Mis- Novella entered leaning upon the arm of Master Ferrall Burch, rep- resenting her father. She was robed in white with full train and veil and fan bride roses. She was a typical bride and pretty as a picture. Toe bridegroom, Muster Church- ill Hodge-, came with bis best man, Master David then the ceremony began.

In older to aid me in forming for my self, I subjoin a scheme a adapted to my school of the simplest grades. My school consists of OW forty scholars and upon I that I could make four or five divisions or classes, the first I designated The first division which Consists of the more children, unite gram- mar, history, arithmetic, reading spelling etc. The second class pursue reading, writing, spelling, geography etc., the about the same work as the the children being younger though. The class consisting of smaller attend to reading, writing, spelling, and mental arithmetic. It is desirable that as time should be devoted t as can be afforded, It is ween certain studies as mental arithmetic and spell we cat. attend to at as seven. Sometimes after becoming better acquainted with our work, we can unite two of those divisions. All can be laughs a id drawing once, in way lime. Betide, it is to some time No. The exercises that require the greatest stress of mental effort should come in the earlier part of the day. The working power of the blind is at its best from nine till twelve, so a subject like arithmetic should come by pref- in the forenoon, while drawing, etc, might come later in the day. Provide alterations that afford rest or an agreeable change. To from an exercise in reasoning to where memory is involved, is an agreeable change, for a new mode of mental activity is play, while the one just employed ha- a period of rest. We should have as few clause as possible. By securing a of by conducting some recital ions by topic, by uniting two classes the same study by reducing the number of recitations some subjects to two or three a week, it is quite possible to relieve an over charged program. In every school consisting of pupils of ages and cur there will be more or less interruption to the order and employment of the school.
