REV. DIR. T. H. PRITCHARD
is the popular pastor of the Baptist church
at Raleigh, North Carolina, and is one of
the leading spirits in his State. A gradu-
ate of Wake Forrest College. North Caro-
lima, he studied Theology with Rev. DIR.
John a. Broadus, then living in Char
of the war he was the efficient pastor of
the Franklin Square Baptist church, Bal
timore. He was arrested for his Southern
prociiVities and sent through the lines to
Virginia, where he at once begun jealous
ly to labor in those great revivals in Gen.
Lees army, in which fifteen thousand sol
diers professed conversion.
He was next pastor at Petersburg, Va. =,
from whence he was called to his present
passionate. Of genial manners, warm
heart, and generous impulses, he IS loved
wherever he is known. A ready speaker,
O popular preacher, and a working pastor,

a wide influence in the State at large.

JOHN II. MILLS, ESQ,
editor of the Biblical Recorder, the organ
of the Baptists of North Carolina, was
born in Halifax county, Virginia, in 1888
was graduated at Wake Forest College,
North Carolina, with the highest honort
of his class, in 1854. Successfully conduc
ted female seminary in Oxford, North
Carolina, for ten or twelve years, and three
years ago removed to Raleigh and mount,
ed the editorial tripod. He is the son oil
Rev. J. Mills, famous throughout Virginia
as a pulpit orator Of great power, and has
inherited much OF the energy and will force
6f his father.
. Mr.. Mills is very large, loose jointed,
firm looking man, and walks the earth with
the tread of giant. He has small respect
for what Lawrence Sterne calls ''the sweet
little courtesies of life," and his manner is
often SO brusque as to be mistaken for
coarseness and a want of sensibi!ity but,
with all his apparent roughness, he has
really a warm ana tender heart. As a
writer, Mr.. Mills wields an Independent,
original and trenchant pen, not unfre-
quentIy waking up somebody rather un-
by his tomahawk criticisms.
Mr.. Mills Is popular with the masses. las
good talents for business, and is making
his paper success.

wendell his way to the mill, wondering TO
what good fortune he owed his escape.
A correspondent strikes Roderiek
Random Butler this stunning blow: "As
a fightest Butler was not success. Il
is said that his main achievement in the
4 Confederate army consisted in rigging
himself in full uniform, and having his
photograph taken. Having accomplish
ed this brilliant feat he resigned and
went into the claim business. Imagine
the First District Cadet-broker, now pur-
suing his peaceful avocation as dealer
in cadet-appointments at the lowest mar
ket price and generously dividing the
profits of said lucrative business with
his party friends for the purpose of con-
Quoting political campaigns in this
State; imagine him on charger which
smelleth the battle afar off and wants to
go to it; see him with two rows of brass
buttons on his breast; epaulets as large
as oyster-cans on his CORY shoulders, and
clanking spurs upon his feet the size OF
dump-cart wheels; imagine him hearing
the sound of battle, and then rushing
toward-a picture gallery to have his
photograph taken"
The Nashville Banner thus speaks of
our lately elected State Controller and
Treasurer: "Mr. Ed, R. Pennebaker,
who was elected Controller of the State,
never before sought public office. For
many years he was thriving merchant
of Lebanon, Wilson county, but suffered
heavy losses by the war. Soon after the
close of the war he came to Nashville
and devoted himself to business pursuits,
devoting his enegies chiefly to the inter
ests of leading cotton house in New
York, of when he was the agent. Among
all with whom he has had personal or
mercantile intercourse, he is deservedly
popular and thoroughly respected. His
past career affords ample guaranty that
he will render faithful and efficient ser
vice to the State. Above all, his hon
estyis unimpeachable. The Legislature
could not possibly have selected better
man. DIR. T. NJ. Morrow, of Knox coun-
ty, the newly elected Treasurer, is com
paratively young man, having prob
ably about reached his thitty-ffth year.
In the late unpleasantness he was sur
geon in the Confederate army, acting as
medical director at Knoxville for con
siderable period. He is a gentleman of
fine abilities, courteous in his manners
and will bring to the discharge Of his
new duties qualities and requirements
which well fit him for the position"

Memphis is bound to be such place,
and, as Jack Bunsby would say, such let
her be. We had a soap factory here a
few weeks ago capable of turning out
100000 pounds of good soap month,
but now it is closed for want of patron
age, our commission merchants prefer
ring TO bny the article manufactured in
Boston and Philadelphia, although per
haps not as good in quality and decided
" lighter in weight. Strange to say,
too, our citizens generally prefer to buy
the Yankee-made soap to the homemade,

being made out of cotton-seed oil, con-
tains curative qualities, while the former,
being made out of the fat of diseased

whole town, and then no sort of soap

The Popular Tonic Of the Age.-The day
has gone by when a medicine without merit
could command and retain the confidence Of
the world. Advertising induces the public to
try many things, but in this shrewd and

proofs. and it is by the exercise Of their private
judgment men determine the relative value of
the various articles recommended to their no.
tice through the business columns Of news
papers, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has now
been subjected TO this searching ordeal for
more than eighteen years. and the result is
that it stands at the head of the class Of RENE
dies to which it belongs. 1t has distanced and
lived down innumerable competitors. and is
to-day the Standard Vegetable Tonic Of the
western world. The happy effects which have
followed its use in cases of dyspepsia, bilious
ness, nervous affections. intermittent fevers
and general debility, and as constitutional
invigorant. have entitled it to universal con-
idence. Nothing can ever shake its reputa-
ton. for ii Is based on the individual expe-
riences Of tens Of thousands Of witnesses,
embracing prominent and well-known citizens
Of every profession, occupation and class.
There is not city, town or settlement in the
United States where it is not a medicinal
staple. No druggist or general dealer would
consider his stock complete without it. and

One Of the Grafton Ennk Eobbers Cnptured.
Yesterday Captain Walsh, Of the Fourteenth pre-
cinct, succeeded in arresupg one of the burglars
who entered and robbed the First National Bank OF
Grafton, Mass, Oh the night OF the 25th instant.
The full particulars OF the robbery were published
in the HERALD Of yesterday. The man arrested is
supposed to be the one who accosted the watch
man, Lewis Daniels on the Common. and who
with the assistance OF two others, gagged and hand
cuGed him. The party consisted OF I'VE in all, and
led the Watchman to the bank, which they forced
him to open. They then chlororormed him, and.
after six or seven hours work with the best tools,
succeeded IN opening the safes and vaults ut
about four O'Clock i'll the morning. They alb
stracted over one hundred thousand dollars in
bonds, notes and currency. The bank officials have
been teegraphed for, and 1t is expected they viii
arrive with the watchman TO identity the prisoner
