THE A. u. f. CHURCH AT DURHAM.
For reasons unavoidable, We
have not made mention of the ex-
e~rcises had at the laying of the
corner stone of the A. M. E.
Church at Durham a few weeks
ago. We have been too busy to
do justice to the occasion, although
we took notes to give a detailed &C.
count.
Suffice it to say, that the cere-
monies conducted by Hon. Stewart
Ellison, acting M. W. Grand Mas
ter, were grand and imposing, and
reflected much credit upon that
distinguished gentleman of our
race and the fraternity, as we'll.
The address by Prof. Z. E. Smith
was instructive and well received.
We shall take occasion, in the
future, to write more deliberately
of the church, its able pastor, &c.

A WORD TO TIE PEOPLE.

The prospects for a grand and
successful Fair next November is
most gratifying indeed. From ev-
cry quarter of the State comes
cheering news. The people are
aroused as to the importance of
the Fair and are making vast prep
arations to attend.
The North Carolina Industrial
Association is controlled entirely
by colored men and it should be
the pride of every colored man and
woman in the State to sustain this
enterprise.
Should the colored people of
this State, from disinterestedness,
let this great enterprise fail it will
but affirm the oft repeated asser-
ton that the Negro is incapable
of managing great enterprises. Let
us say to you then, rally, rally ev-
cry one of you, come to the Fair,
bring something of your own make
and place on exhibition and make
the Fair a grand success.

HOW THE PARISIANS TREATED
ALFONSO.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Daily Telegraph, September 80, says:
The people came almost to the windows
Of the Kings carriage, kissing and
grooming. A woman broke her umbrella
BY striking the carriage of the Duke OF
Sestos. Prime Minister Ferry, who rode
with the King, requested an officer OF
the c~uirassiers to keep close to the car
rage. Men apparently beside then
selves with rage shook their fists in the
windows of the carriage. Even where
the crowd was least aggressive there
we're no words Of greeting and no one
uncovered. The cortege proceeded so
rapidly that the escort vas thrown into
disorder. At the railway station the
Spaniards drew their swords, observing
the dangerous position of the king. A
Spanish military attache was prevented
by his companions from leaping from his
carriage to avenge the insults offered his
king. The offer of a company Of infantry
to act as a guard Of honor at the Embassy
was declined. The king was jeered and
Kissed or leaving the church this morning.

Correspondence

LuMEERIov, N. c., Oct. 9, 'S3.
Mr.. Editcr:-I have returned
from trip west of this place in the
interest Of the approaching Fair.
The people are waking up to a
proper sense OF their duties regard
ing the No h Carolina Industrial
Association and its object.
| spent some time in Richmond
county, in company with Rev. II.
M. Murphy, w. Il. Woodland and
w. ii. Quick, who are doing all
they can for the Fair. They, to-
gether with your correspondent,
addressed the citizens of Richmond
at Rockingham on the 29th, ult.,
and awakened much interest in
favor of the Fair.
1 also spent a day at Wadesboro,
and after canvassing the matter
thoroughly, got up a "boom" in
favor Of the Fair. Many of the
fair daughters and brave sons Of
Richmond and Arson will go to
Raleigh during the Fair, and will
have some handsome articles on
exhibition.
On my way to Charlotte and at
Monroe, l met W. G. Smith, Esq,
editor of the Charlotte Messenger.
Mr.. Smith is q splendid travelling
companion a good editor and a
gentleman of culture.
In Charlotte | met several old
acquaintance and formed. many
new ones; among the former were
Miss A. S. McCauley, Mrs. and
Rev. A. D. Waugh, N. W. Harl-
lee, 7. A. McEachern, Rev. R. G.
Collins, Rev. George Brown and
others. Among new acquaintance
were Misses Belle Butler and Vic
toria Richardson, teachers in the
Graded School; Mrs. and Mr.. Brat
ton, Mr.. A. W. Calvin and Mrs.
and Mr.. Good. Charlotte is one
of the "classic" towns of the State.
Everything attractive and inviting
is here-wealth, beauty of scenery,
health, hospitable citizens, thrift,
&C., &c.
From Charlotte | went to Shelby
and spent one day, when I turned
my face homeward, but thinking
the citizens of Lincoln would like
to visit the Fair l stopped over to
"tell about it. at Lincolnton. The
A. M. E. District Conference was
in session, Elder A. Hill of this
county presiding. Quite an intel
ligent body Of ministers were pres
ent, and Lincolnton is a fine,
healthy town, but during the two
days l spent with the good people
of this town l did not see or hear
q live chicken. After forming
many acquaintance at Lincolnton
and partaking of the Inequalities
of its generous citizens | set out
again for old Robson, reaching
Shoe Heel Saturday morning.
A camp meeting is going on
here and the people say they will
not have any chickens to put on
exhibition ct the Fair but will 90
and carry something else.
While on my tour l spoke at
Rockingham, Shelby and Lincoln
ton and believe the people are well
aroused.
| start to Wilmington Tomorrow
to see friend Holloway and learn
something from the political world.
Next week is court here and we
wish to be cable to stand before
the Judge so We must stop writ
ing and read awhile.
Yours for general success,
