did come, it was something new, delicate in

called it MILK SHAKE. 1t didn't make us
shake bit, but made US feel good all over.

Letter from Rev. A.. J. Hires,

e. hINsToN, N. u, ApI 23, 1886.
DEAR SIR: Another year has passed away
since badc farewell to Union and accepted q
pastoral charge here. How the time does fly
My residence in Kinston hos been enjoyable.
All the more pleasant because of the Divine
blessing upon my Ministry and the notable
growth and prosperity of my church. Within
the last few weeks we have had an addition of
Al new members. At tho end Of the second
year of my pastorate the total sum of members
is more than double the number found here
two years ago. Moreover, the advance in
Christian activity and benevolent giving has
bee1 correspondingly marked. In the last
Associational year our church contributions were
equal to an average of elevn dollars and fifty
cents Per member. Considering the compare
tive number of poor members and young mem
bers, who have no stated income, this is On un-
usually good showing. Now we have in mind
to rebuild our ohurch-house or to build q new
one, reserving the present house for Sunday
School and prayer meeting uses.
Spring is now opening upon us beautifully,
giving promise Of manifold blessings. Until
within the last two weeks wo had long season
of unusually dry weather which was favorable
to the preparation of the soil for seeding.
Then came tremendous down pour Of rain.
giving the Neuse River such boom as it has
not had before for several years. A few days
ago indications were of o destructive overflow
of its hanks, but just when two or three inches
more of rise would have done an immense
damage the flood began to subside. With tho
present state Of water from 20 to 80 feet in
the channel, we could receive ocean steamers
q. our wharf. The high water is blessing to
shad in their journey of propagation, but bad
for us who like to pick their bones, because Of
the difficulty of netting them.
In January last it was my unpleasant privi-
lege to see the Neuse in another unusual con-
dition, l. c., frozen over so that many persons
walked on the ice from bank to bank.

news. The TINES however, has been quite

1t is not necessary for me to say, for it goes
without saying, that my sympathy and prayers
are with and for the Ministers, the w. c. T. U.,
fic God have mercy on the men, especially
| on men calling themselves christians, who up
hold this outrageous crime For business
that produces pine.tenths Of all crimes commit

brutalizing influence must be the chief of
crimes and yet church members arc willing to
license and rerpetuate it.

inhabitants, two stores-one the firm of Mont

Presbyterian church, and NJ. l.. Church
almost completed, large and hourishng school
With an excellent teacher, Miss Amason,

We have nice Sabbath School, Of whi ch an
appreciative feature is, the promptness with
which the teachers attend.
There is large dairy about two miles north
Of here, owned by Col. Muldrow, and three
miles East lie very large Jersey farm and
dairy which belongs 10 Mr.. w. B. Montgomery.
Crops In this vicinity seem fiourishing although
there have been several excessive rains. The
farmers have finished planting corn and cotton.
1t is predicted there will be good fruit

concerning the liquor traffic. / would like to
say to DR.. A. e, FAINT, that think him right
in saying that the farmers ought to unite. If
he could look at the animated countenances of

what is the best thing for farmers, he would be
convinced.
With my best wishes to yourself and your
good paper, will close for the present.

matters.
Yon have doubtless heard what is commonly
reported, sir. 1t is said q noticeable official
threatens, if he can find out who Uncle 81 is he
will shoot him OH the spot. And now another
official, sprig of municipality, appointed to
enforce the law, declares, that if patient and
outraged patriots dare attempt tho removal of
the saloons he will send them to Allen & Rob-
inson's for their collins.
Now to the first official l wish to say, VIC
have long since taken his measure, aud that
when he knows Uncle 81 he wont shoot worth O
cent. That he will more likely take refuge
with "Gideon's band" and learn wisdom look
ing through the nine of diamonds. And to
both Of these, and to as many others as may be
their compatriots in bluff and guilt, l have this
to say. That when the Grand Jury has taken
tn cir disposition and the testimony OF other
witncsses-some who saw and some who tipped
glas ses with them in unlicensed saloous-thc
shame that must follow exposure, or the pros
pect Of several true bills by the Grand Jury will
forever dispossess them of all blood-thirsty feel
ings. We say this defying of law by dealers
and this turpitude of officials must end. We
speak plainly now. We will act plainly after O
while. The tax payers and patriots are not 60
ing to submit-to have the law defed and liz
municipal government in the interest of this
traffic in whiskey. Hear it, and be warned.
Law-break ers cannot run this town as long n.
patriots are in the majority. Corrupt that ma
jority, or fly the day of reckoning.

The Ladies' Bazaar.

The Bazaar held in Nicholson s Hall last week
was one of the most dhlghtful and. we may
add, successful social gatherings ever held in
Union. This was naturally expected, from the
proverbial energy and fine taste of the ladies
who inaugurated and managed it.
The attendance was, large and composed OF
the most hreligcnr cirrzen4 Of the town. The
young ladies were consdicuous for their beauty,
modesty and dignity of department, and the
young men bore themselves as gentlemen wor.

The Bazaar was also pronounced financial
success. Every article was dispose Of at fair
pricas, and the amount realized was quite u re.

The Farmers Convention

We are advised, on reading tho comments of
number of our S:ate exchanges upon the pro-
ceedDgs of the Farmers Convention, that those
who do not throw up their hats and shout kur-
rah for the actions Of Farmer Tillman and his
followers therein assembled, will be placed in
the ranks Of "cranks," al told you sos" SO.
Well, we suppose we musA submit to the very
doubtful humiliation of being placed among one
or both of those classes, for, outside of what we
have been preaching to the farmers of Union
for many years-a better system of farming
we can hardly agree with any of the propositions
of the Convention, as presented in the resolu-
tions adopted.
Tillman took possession of the Convention
from the start, and kept it to the end lie is
evidently magnetic, if he is not polished in ap.
pearancc, and he is bold and aggressive; but we
have not come under the influence of hts per-
sonal magnetism, nor can we subscribe 10 his
one grand hobby of an agricultural college, pure
and simple, the support of which will increase
the burden of taxes now SO grevousy COM
planned of.
The establishment of such B college, similar
TO those of Michigan and Mississippi, would in
vove al outlay of 100000 or Sl5O,OOO in the
purchase of land and the erection of suitable
buildings to begin with, while tax Of 900
year would be drawn from the farmers exclu
sively, by an indirect tox of fifty cents per ton
on fertilizers. And, further, it would be eight
or ten years before the faesaSds could derive
any more benefit from it than they now receive
from the State Agricultural Department
W.
tion, from an economic standpoint It would
cost the State not less than SlOC 900, while oil
the Objectionable clauses in the present Consti-
tuition could be eliminated or amended by o
vote of the people at general election without
incurring any extra expense. If the Farmers
Convention had formulated the changes to be
made, we are confident the next Legislature
would have put them before the people for their
| endorsement at the next elestien.
lfthe farmers would organize themselves into
| County and Township Clubs, encourage their
sons to join them and listen TO and participate
in their discussions upon farming, consider the
best and quickest system to be adopted for get
| ting out of their present difficulties, and help
each other to carry out that system, they will
soon be in condition to indulge in such luxu-
rics as Colleges of any kind; but they cannot
| do it now.
After looking at it from every point, and with
| sincere desire TO give it a favorable reception
we honestly believe that the educationa! project
| of Mr. Tillman would add at least two mills tc
| tho taxes of the State, including the indirect
tax upon fertilizers, which would be paid by
| the farmers alone.
| We, however, are glad the Convention wa:
