class, equai to the best in the country in typo

wants of our Churches Its columns will afford
the latest intelligence, both foreign and domes

and accurate summary of State news. The
name OF the laDer is designed TO be eXnO
nent of its character and contents. From con
viction, it will advocate the conservative, Or
thodox Old School doctrines and order of the
Church.

upon their favor, trust that the native son
of North Carolina who have found homes il
other States, and the adopted ctiz"us of ou
State who form important an element in ou
Ministry and membership, will take dee,
interest in this enterprise, and give it thci
hearty support.
