Dear Brethren IN the Lord In our
extremity and helplessness we feel con-
strained to make general appeal for
aid. Ours is the oldest organization in
South Carolina. 1t has met with many
financial and other reverses, but has been
enabled graciously to survive them all.
Within the past FIVE years at great self
sacrifice, 1t has spent about eight thou
sand dollars for repairs. The earthquake
has totally wrecked our beautiful and
venerable house of worship, and our peo-
pie are impoverished. Unless assistance
is given speedily our organization must
pass out of existence Contributions
should be sent to George Paul, Treasurer,
or to Rev. W. T. Thompson, D. D., Pas
tor OF First Presbyterian Church OF
Charleston, S. @.
September 7th, 1885,
After the above was in type we received by
telegram the following, which makes the appeal
still more urgent.-EDs. Cen. Pres
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 18th.
To the Presbyterian Churches throughout the
United States:
At meeting of the committee from the
First, Second, and Westminster Presby.
terian churches OF Charleston, S. c., it was
decided to appeal to you for aid in re-
pairing the damage to our churches done
by the recent earthquake. Services can
not be resumed in the First or Second
churches while in their present condition.
Upon examination by two responsible
contractors it is estimated that it will re-
quire sixty-one thousand dollars to re.
pair and restore the three churches. This
circular takes the place of one issued by
the First Presbyterian church. Money
sent In answer to that appeal, and what
ever may be contributed in response to
this, will be put into one common fund to
be distributed in proportion to the injury
sustained by each. Either of the under
signed pastors is authorized to receive
and report for all remittances.
Yours in the cause of Christ,
w. T. TFoMPsoN,
Pastor Of First Presbyterian church.

The Presbytery of North mississippi


Met at Edmondson church. near Memphis, on
the Sth of September, and was opened by ser,
mon from the retiring Moderator, Rev. G. w.
Boggs.
The Rev. J. w. Allen was elected Moderator
and Rev D. c. Rankin, temporary Clerk
Only seven or eight of our thirty eight church
es were represented by Elders. The Presbytery
addressed circular letter to all the Sessions
urging upon them the duty and Importance of
being represented in the cou Is of the church.
The few reports sent up showed that consid-
erable additions had been made to many of our
churches.
Not half of our churches are blessed with the
regular ministratons of the Word. While those
blessed with regular preaching show signs of
life and Improvement, our destitute churches
are wasting away.
The subject which elected more discussion
and interest than any thing else was an effort
to secure an Evangelist. The Presbytery ap-
pointed commissioner whose duty it is to raise
the means and put man in the field as soon as
possible.
The church with which we met is one of the
Oldest in the Presbytery, and was able before
the war to employ minister all his time. Now
they have preaching only once a month.
AT the first service only one lady was present
the first time we have witnessed such a thing in
forty years.

Rev. John A. Preston of Tlnkling Spring, Va
We hope the brother will see his way clear to
accept this call Oxford is the most important

dure hardness and live on small salaries

Another Railrond Entcrnr;se

The organization of the Fargo & Northern
railroad has been completed. The charter has
been received from the secretary's office and
accepted. Last evening the following board
OF directors were elected: Charles Sweat, J.
B. Folsom, R. S. Tyler, w. B. Douglass, J. S.
Woodruff, S. G. Roberts, O. w. Francis, A.
McHench and T. E. Yerxa. The directors met
and elected Charles Sweat, president; j. S.
Woodruff, vice president; W. B. Douglass, sec
retary, and R. S. Tyler, treasurer. The design
Of this company is to build road or roads
north and northwest from this city, in the in
terest of Fargo, as an assistance to the retail
and especially to the jobbng trade. The men
connected with the enterprise announce it is
no paper road, and their names and records
seem sufficient to uphold this claim. Work
will soon be commenced, and it is the plan to
run trains 30 that merchants can come in and
spend the day here, returning home the same
night if they desire to do so Citizens of Fargo
will soon have an opportunity to take stock in
moderate way in this enterprise il they desire.
There is no doubt but there is a large section
Of country north and northwest of here, where
the people would prefer to trade in Fargo if
there were convenionces for reaching the city
and returning home within a reasonable

Division and Admission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-The consid-
GRAFTON Of the senate bill for the admission OF
Dakota into the Union of states was resumed
by the house committee on territories to-day,
Representative Baker, Of New York, presented
amendments proposing to name the northern
half ''North Dakota" to submit the question
of division to the whole territory, and the ques-
ton Of admitting the southern half to the peo-
pie Of that portion. Representative Cooper,
of Ohio, said the amendments seemed to meet
the objections which had been raised, and ad-
vecated their adoption, and that the bill thus
amended be reported favorably. Pending ac-
ton the committee adjourned.

VOLUME v.

The PIONEER with this issue begins its fifth
volume, and right lusty does It feel for four
ycar-older. Measured by the standards OF time
four years seem but a brief span In the exist
ence of a nation or even an individual, but
when measured by the progress which has
been achieved in all that goes to make a peo-
pie prosperous and happy, it seems to stretch
away back into the receding and dim past.
We begin to feel as though we had cast off
the swaddling clothes Of infancy and donned
the habiliments proper to strength aud carly
manhood. We have passed through the period
of experiment and feel ourself planted upon
the solid ground of success. This position has
not been reached without receiving some hard
knocks and sore bruises, but time has healed
the wounds and few if any of the scars re-
main. We arc not egotistical enough to sup
pose that the success Of the PIONEER has been
owing to any great ability displayed in its
editoral'management, but we do feel that we
can truthfully say that no town in Dakota has
paper that has laDored more earnestly and
zealously, or ono that has achieved more for the
interests Of its community than has the Pro
NEER for Hope and Steele county. That it has
proved an important factor in every movement
that has tended toward the development of the
county no one, we believe, will deny. Feeling
| confident that the experience attained will
prove beneficial in enabling US to avoid the
| shoals and quicksands Of the future, and with
many thanks for the words Of encouragement
and commendaton that we have received from
its friends thp PIONEER entarc unop ito fftI,
year with firm assurance Of the glorious des-
tiny which will assuredly dawn upon Dakota,
Hope and Steele county.

1t is claimed that the difference in the price
Of wheat at the present time and the highest
price which prevailed last fall represents loss
to the farmers in the immediate neighbor-
hood Of Hope who held their grain of over
$5O,OO0. That amount of cash scattered
among our people at the present time would
carry us through tho summer in splendid tinan-
cial condition. There are somo farmers who
still hold their grain, but most of them have
had to let 60.
