Letter From Evangelist Pearson.

The citizens Of Winston-Salem re-
GREETED very much when the protrac-
ted services of Mr. Pearson came to a
close, and while here it was suggested
to him that he might possibly ar
range matters so that on his return
from Goldsboro he could call by and
favor us with one more sermon. He
writes to the Daily regarding the
matter as follows:
''There are no people with whose
wishes I would more gladly comply
than those of Winston and Salem,
but in estimating the time necessari-
~ consumed in coming by Winston
to preach one sermon, it is impracti-
cable to do So An additional reason
that makes it impracticable is that /
have found the speaking in this tent,
without a floor, to be severely taxing
to my throat and chest, SO much SO
that | shall be obliged to cut short
the work here. The seating capacity
of the tent is about two thousand
and it is filled to overfowing nightly
'NThere is great interest; some two
hundred confessions up to date, with
interest daily increasing. If you wish
to give this statement as an item O
interest to the people Winston y OF
are at liberty to do So"

Dated Wrong Again.

The NeWs-ObserVer appears to be
subject to the error of dating "Win-
ston" for Winton. Inlast Saturdays
issue we find the following special
dated Winston oct. 10Th:
yesterday about 2 O'Clock p. M,
the house of Walter Porter, colored,
was Burned, together with four small
children The father was off at work
and the mother shut the children up
and went off to pick out cotton. The
house caught from the outside, and
when assistance arrived it was too
late to save the children, they being
already dead"
No such news has reached the ear
of our reporter, who has made in
quiry regarding the matter. The
eWs-ObserVer evidently got the tel
egram from Winton and the printer
put it Winston"

Whom to PatrOnize.

Here's good advice from the Char
lotte Chronicle which THE SENTINEL
heartily endorses and commends to
all it's readers:
Look in your paper for the adver-
tisement of your merchant, doctor,
lawyer, dentist, photographer. If
he does not advertise, change off, and
patronize one that does; for you
may be sure that he is more enter
prising than one who does not adver-
tise. One who desires your trade,
will advertise in the paper you read.
because he knows you will see his
business proposition. The fact that
he does not patronize the paper he
knows you read, is the very best evil
dence that he does not want your
patronage. If he did want your
trade, wouldn't he ask you for it in
the cheapest, easiest and most direct
WaV?

One of the Oldest in the U. s.

The Greensboro Patriot, in speak
ing of Salem and her fire departments
has this to say:
Salem has one of the Oldest fire de-
partments in the United States. 1t
dates from 1855, and an engine a
century old and more is among it's
collection of apparatus. In the first
year after this fire organization was
perfected every person, men, women
and children, took a hand as regular
ly-enrolled members In Salem the
custom yet remains of having the
chimneys burned out carefully in the
autumn to remove danger from soot
This is done yearly as rule, as it
We're, handed down from generation
to generation. There are fewer fires
at Salem than in any place of its size
in the United States.

Chicken Surgeon.

A citizen of Winston. may well
be classed among the NJ DIS Last
week he saw one of his chickens
dropping, and from it's actions he
Judged something was wrong with its
''craw." The old hen was caught,
and with a sharp knife in hand he
began carving away on her breast,
cut open the ''craw," the contents of
which was a good-sized stone, togeth-
er with several large pieces of char
coal With a needle and thread he
sewed up the cash and then dropped
the old hen, which, to his surprise,
went on her way eating and rejoicing
as though she never knew anything
of affection.

Autumn Leaf Party.


That was a most CHEEKY, enjoyable
party given by Miss Nettie Baldwin
on Cherry Street Tuesday night The
rooms were decorated with autumn
leaves and so were the lapels of the
gentlemen's coats. The ladies, too,
wore the insignia of winters coming,
and although they say that chilly
winds and flying autumn leaves have
a tendency to make one sad, that
party which gathered under the
bright lights in Miss Baldwin's par
lor were as happy and joyous as
heart could wish. And the beautiful
young hostess, receiving her friends
SO kindly and SO elegantly, smiled a
radiant welcome to all. Need we
say that everybody enjoyed the oc-
casion? 1t was impossible to do
otherwise. Here are the ladies and
gentlemen who attended:
Miss Kate Biting, Miss Julia
Smith, Miss Percy Joyce, Miss Mamie
Martin, Miss Minnie Grogan, Miss
Bette Shepherd, Miss Mamie Will

ed interest to be paid upon all depos-
it's of $3 and over, remaining in the

FOREIGN AND DOM ESTIC.

The San kindly publishes the follow
ing little dialogue for the ediication of
its readers:
A reporter of the World was standing
at the Mayors desk, when Mr. Hewitt
suddenly exclaimed, with startling
abruptness:
That is simply the work of a foreign
vagrant who came to this country as an
adventurer, and getting possession of a
newspaper, uses it to prey upon the
character Of honest officials
"Mr Mayor" said the World reporter,
"do you wish Mr.. Pulitzer to under
stand that you designate him as va
grant and Adventures"
eyes; and for fear you may forget it
will repeat it. He is foreign adyen-
turer, who, getting possession of news
paper, uses it to crafty his personal
spite. The public will support me in re-
taliating upon such an adventurer."
Pulitzer, no doubt, is foreign and an
adventurer, but it has not yet transpired
that he collected donations for scab
and then diverted some of the money
so collected for another purpose.

NATURALIZATION.

Every person who desires to become
naturalized must answer that he will
support the Constitution of the United
States and renounce and relinquish any
title or order of nobility to which he
now is or hereafter may be entitled, and
must absolutely and entirely renounce
and adjure all allegiance and fidelity to
any foreign prince, potentate, state or
sovereignty whatever, and partic ularly
to the government of the country of
whom he was before subject. They
must also have the following qualifica-
tiOns:
They must have resided within the
jurisdiction of the United States for at
least five years.
They must have declared their inten-
tions first papers, to become citizens at
least two years previous to their appica-
ton for naturalization papers,
They must have resided in the State
for at least one year
Upon their application in court to be-
come citizens, they must produce a
qualified electOr to prove the foregoing
qualifications.
He must be naturalized at least one
month before he can vote.
Persons of foreign birth arriving in
the United States, when under the age
of eighteen, need not declare intentions,
first papers, but can become citizens
without such papers after being of age
and residents of the United States for at
least five years, and this State one year.
The facts to be proved by qualified
electOr
Naturalized citizens to become quail
fled electors must comply the same as
nativeborn electors as to residence and
taxes.
The foreign-born son of naturalized
citizen can vote on his fathers papers,
where the father was naturalized before
the son became of age: but if the son
has arrived at the age of twenty one be-
fore the father was naturalized, then the
son must become citizen in the same
manner as other foreign-born persons.
