the A. M. E. Zion Sabbath-school, on
East King street, rendered a fine
programme at the church, consisting
of singing, essays dialogues, read
ings and speeches. The class went
to great deal of trouble to render a
good entertainment, The admission
was only Is cents. The entertain
ment was well worth double the
amount of admission paid, hence a
crowded house showed their appre-
citation for the grand effort put forth
by the little folks. The amount of
receipts gathered by them over and
above expenses was seventeen dollars
and a few cents over, which was i'm
mediately presented to the trustees of
the above named church. Who can
beat the little folks?

colored man, has been elected Justice

The attendance at the A. NJ. E.
Zion church, on last Sabbath, through
out the day was very large. Every
week there are a number of Access
sions to the church, and our people
are generous contributors to the t.
nancial success of the church. The
collections throughout the day were
twenty dollars and fraction over.
Work upon the A. M. E. Bethel
church is nearly completed, and when
finished will be credit to our CON-
munity. The members take pride in
their fine edi6ce, and to defray expen-
SEES they are doing light jobs upon it
themselves. Long may she stand as
a Christian institution, infusing and
spreading morality, congeniality and
brotherly love to all.
