THE LOCAL PREACHERS

ar the NJ e. Church-Their Coming Con.
ference-Sam Jones to be Present.
Rev. S. d. Franklin, President of the
North Carolina Local Preachers Confer
ence informs us that in connection with
their Conference that will be held at Ruth
erford College the 10Th Of next August,
there will be Tabernacle Camp-Meeting.
The committee:of arrangements will have
ample accommodation for five or six thou
sam. people Among the names of distin-
guished diyines expected to be present is
that of Rev. Sam Jones.
The Methods. Local Preachers of North
Carolina number several hundred they
have done, and are still doing great deal
of religious work in this State without
charge to any one. 1t was the Local
Preachers that first planted Methodism in
the fertile soil of America. To them is due
the credit of erecting and defeating the
first Methodist Church in America, and
| having received into its communion the first
members, and since that time they might be
termed strictly home missionary people
working principally among the poor and
destitute, preaching the gospel where it is
most needed.
Col. Andrews has kindly consented to run
excursion trains during the Conference at
very low rates. We..trust the meeting will
be a great success.

Major Peter w. Hairston, well known to
the people of this section, died suddenly in
Baltimore on Wednesday last at his place
of business. Major HARRISON was sixty-two
years old, and native of Pittsylvania coun-
ty, Virginia. He resided and owned large
estates near Winston. At the close Of the
war he went to Baltimore and associated
himself in business with General James r.
Herbert. He spent the principal part Of
his time in this State He took up perma-
nent quarters in Baltimore only about two
years ago, when the death.of General Her
bert compelled him to manage the business
of the firm.
Major Hairston was in the Confcde rate
army and on Gen. J. f. B. Stewards staff.
He was also on the staff of Gen, Jubal Early
who was a cousin. The Major was a mem
Der of the Baltimore Corn and Flour tx

known, the flag Of the Exchange was placed
at half-mast out of respect to his memory.
His remains were taken to Berry Hill, Pitt
sylvania county, for interment. He leaves
q wife and several children. His first wife

Tho New Broom Factory,

THE SENTINEL is certainly believer in
small industries, any one at all familiar
with our columns we'll know, therefore we
are gratiied to announce that the Twin City
is to have broom factory. Messrs. Giersh
SensemaH & Co., have just received machin-
cry for the manufacture of this indispensable
household article and they will begin opsr-
alton as soon as necessary arrangements can
be effected II will be remembered that
Forsyth county has greater number OF
grasses than any other county in North Caro-
lima, and our soil therefore is peculiarly
adapted to the cultivation of broom corn
which can inow become an article of impor-
lance among our farmers. THE SENTINEL
heartily wishes the new enterprise all the
success it deserves.

Church Work Extending,

A few weeks ago We gave notice OF the
Baptists having bought lot on Broad
Street, in the western part Of our city, on
which to erect chapel for divine worship.
We now learn further from one Of the men,
bers that the Methodists have rented a
house near the Graded School in which to
hold divine Worship. A Sunday School has
been held regularly at 9 o'clock in the
morning for several months past. Prayer
meeting is also held every Tuesday evening.
They now have in contemplation the cree.
ton Of a 81 900 or 81 800 chapel, some time
this summer, in that part Of the city, for
the benefit of those who are unable to at
tend worship down town, owing to the dis
lance. We think these churches are acting
wisely in the proposed erection of chapels
for divine worship.

DIR. YOUNG AGAIN.
Released from Jail In Concord on q Justis
: Aed Bond.

Released from Jail In Concord on Justis
aed Bond.
The Concord Register in its last weeks is
sue contains the following in reference to
the former editor of the Independent:
DR.. Young has passed through much
tribulatioD this week. The trouble seems
to be than the Winston people have now got
the drop on him. His confession last week
was plausible, but the Winston people say
that he does not do the subject justice They
say he did take strumpet octaroon to that
town and represented her as his wife and
introduced her into the best society in the
place. They say that he came-there strang-
er and set up as an NJ. D. and also as an in
surance Agent, and an editor, and they
patronised him, trusted him and-after they
had done all this they discovered that they
were sold" tolerabIy cheap. Winston will
probably measure up tramp a~little
more accurately the next time becomes to
settle among them and do business that is
now conducted by natives who would be
thankful for their patronage. The DR.. was
arrested last Saturday on capias from
Winston for F. & 4. four generous citizens,
Of which we were one, went on his bond, on
Saturday night and released him from Gus
tody. Subsequently he was surrendered
and justified bond was filed and the Dr..
was released from thraldom.

a Sad and Fatal Accident.

We learn that Mr.: Barney Livenyool,
a highly respected young man living near
Bethanis, this county, came To sudden
death a few days since. 1t was supposed to
have been an accident, as he " - hau ling
log. 70 a saw mill in the ncighborh0sd, and
while driving along a slope in the road one
wheel ran over stamp, turning the wagon
over and throwing TIE leg across Mr. Liv-
engood's breast These are the only partie-
uiars that can be learned, as he was found
dead with the log still over him. The de-
ceased leaves wife and three children to
Ineurn their loss.

the Board Of Commissioners manifest sd
