desires to say through your columns that

credit for their efforts 10 stop sunday work
aud 10 have an observance OF the sabbath
day by our people. BNt In their efforts they
have been greatly aided aud assisted by the

The West Point star, our local paper, has
used its c0lunns against Sunday work. The
ministers OF the town wage incessant war

pastor OF the Baptist church here, he, with
several citizens OF the town, had confer

which resulted in stopping to considerable
degree sunday work at our whsrves. Your

OF It. Johns Episcopal church here. on the
subject Of sabbath breaking, which resulted
in good. Siace then the pastors OF the va
riOus churches, including the colored church.
have used their influence TO teach the people
10 observe the Sabbath day.
In addition TO this on the % cav OF May,
1887, the Town Council by UNANIMOUS
vote OF all the members present passed an
ordinance making n unlawful for any "per-
SON. firm. or CORPORATION TO labor or do anV
work on sunday, aud attaching heavy tine

Our courageous aud determined mayc' Hon.
