NOVEMBER %, 1880.
The Danville people had on yesterday
feast OF fat things, feast OF wines on The
lees, OF fat things full OF marrow, OF wines
on the lees well rcfined.- AT the Nam.
Street Methodist church there was what
some OF the preachers ell "a Holy-Ghost
sermon" from Bishop Keener, memorial
services Of Bishop Doggett conducted by
DIR. Sledd, aud sermon from DR.. y. z.
Fitzgerald, OF Nashville. In describing
DIR. Doggett as preacher Mr.. Sledd
remarked that he would sometimes
rather weary his congregations In lay
ing the foundations of bis dIscoufses,
but their admiration would be ex-
cited as the building began 10 rise,
aud when, after the grand building had
been erected, he would as by fash hight
up every room OF IL; then The admiration 0f
his congregation passed into delightful as
constituent. AT the Presbyterian church
there were sermons from Revs. w. L. Jud-
kins and w. L. Edwards; at the Baptist
church, Revs. A. G. Brown and j. III.
Amiss; at the Episcopal church. Drs. Ed
wards and Starr; at the Lynn.Street Meth
odist church, DR.. Cranberry and Rev. Il.
7. Wilson. There were services ct the
North Danville Methodist church also, Revs.
j. b. Dey and j. ID. Hank doing the preach
ing. And it is worthy Of note that all OF
the colored churches applied for preachers
and received them, and that Rev. S. s. Lam
beth, once the pastor OF the Main-Street
Methodist church. volunteered 20 preach at
night AT the FIRST (coloIed) Baptist church.
DIR. CRANBERRY did NOT, thought, blow
the gospel trumpet as hc used 10 do when
preaching to Plekett's men. The writer
could not help imagining that since the
1Doctor has been st Vanderbilt University
he has become less eloquent las eloqueDce Is
commonly understOod) and more dldactic.
But he most beautifully illustrated the diff
ference between working faith and do
nothing faith, beginning with a dead lee
and passing on from that, by the tree with
leaves and the tree with blossoms, to the
tree with ripe and juicy fruit, aud thence
down TO the imitation OF tree; and theu,
after the same style, beginning with body
OF inanimate clay and passing on to The
body with sensibiity. with muscular
power, to the body under the control
OF right reason and the will, and thence
down TO the imitation OF the body-the au-
tomaton. The man WHO substitutes works
for faith-wbO tries to do the works OF The
Christian without having the Spirit OF
Christ-he is the limitation OF The fruit
bearing tree, he the machine like unto a
man. We were sorry 10 see the Doctor
take out his watch and bear him say that
there were other points than those presented
about which be wished 10 speak, and be
would only indicate what they were-a bill
OF fare without the second course supplied,
thought one. ALPHA.

smile from his Honor and called forth
the remark that he had accomplished

ter OF regret with many Of the people that
any body anywhere is going to have the OPP
portunity Tor make the opportunity OF say
ing hat the case of Joe Jone, is one OF series
/, OF things which go 10 prove that the col0red
, man does not get bis rights and the white
, people OF the South do not want TO have =" a
. far count" Really, it Is looked upon here
, as in itself trifling affair, and ii Is worthy
. OF pote-frst, that Commissioner Patterson,

examination, proposed to admit Colonel
Davis to bill on his own recognzance In The
sum OF $500; second, that Colonel Flournoy

that Colonel Flournoy prefers TO have his
client acquitted by the jury OF the Uniteo
States Court after the most rigid examina-
