Interesting Lecture.

The lecture of Prof. Savage at the
Baptist church Friday night on the
Mountains of The Bible, was highly en-
tertaining and instructive. First he
described them, showing their location,
&C., and then portrayed in a graphic
and pleasing manner the peculiar event
or events associated or connected with
each one in detail. Prof. Savage spoke
without manuscript and showed careful
research and thoughtful study in the
preparation of his lecture. 1t was well
conceived and delivered in an earnest
and forceful manner. His portrayal Of
the scenes enacted on the Mount of
Olives and at Cavalry was most graphic
and at the same time pathetic. Al
together the lecture was highly edify-
ing and instructive and Prof. Savage
has placed all who heard it under OBJ
legation to him. Those who were not
at the Baptist church Friday evening
missed an intellectual treat.

A Timely Article.


We call special attention to the COM
munication of Mr.. Richard Marston,
which appears in another column. It
has been a sou>ee Of regret to us that
so few persons seem to take an interest
in the matter of writing along the line
indicated by our correspondent. We
have plenty men in our midst who
have both the~SSime and the talent to
write and we want to hear from them.
In diversity Of opinions some valua-
BILE hints must be given. We have
written repeatedly on the subject of in
dustrial development and have endeav-
ored to throw out suggestions from
time to time for the consideration of
our business s3nd moneyed men, with
the hope that some good might result
therefrom. Of course we have not
looked for action upon all but it is well
enough to think about these things and
to talk about them, choosing that which
is best and most practical and feasible.
In diversity of industries lies the real
prosperity of a community and it is this
happy condition of things we wish to
see realized. Let us hear from more
of our friends. Mr.. Marston names a
successor-and a good selection it is
We shall be glad to hear from Mr.
Dorsey.

The Debt Not Settled.

The commissioners in the Vance comfy
debt matter have made their report. A
settlement was not arrived at, and is de-
fer'ed until the Supreme Court settles a
certain point.
1t was ascerteined that the debt of old
Granville on the 9Th of March, 1881, at
tine OF separation, was $25, 900. Vance's
part of this due Granville is about $8, 600.
If the Supreme Court, however, should
decide that Vance was entitled to one
third of the tax levy of 1880 this amount
would be reduced to about $13, 900, AID

Sam Jones' Meeting Closed.

Sam Jones' meeting in Durham
closed Sunday night. Many people
went from the surrounding country TO
hear him. Henderson sent large dele

that between 800 and 1000 converts
was the result of his preaching. The
people of Durham gave the great
preacher 81, 800 for his ten days. work,

Henderson is on the up grade in the
line of mate rial development. While
there is moth ing like boom on, as that
term is Commonly applied, its growth
is steady and satisfactory. Its advance
is of healthy, substantial and perma-
nent character, such as to inspire conf
dence in its future and the permanency
of lis prosperity. This is the way we
love to write it and the facts bear us
out in what we say. For example,
note the various new enterprises here
tosore recorded in these columns and
then take q look at the following list.
In addition to the new factories and
other enterprises already mentioned
by us we record the further fact that
Paul Clary is erecting a large four
story prize factory 4O1l1O0 feet; John
D. Cooper is putting up one 7Oxl5O

purposes to be erected on the site OF
the one burned on Main street, below

In 1idIeSS to the People OI ALiega-
an C0unty-Ata Il meeting of the mem
berS of the General Management Com
mltlee of the County Centennial Com
mittee held in Cumberland Thursday
evening of last week the following
address to the people of the county was
Issued:
7" he Feople Of IHeg""g CO"Hty, 4M.:
The year which witnessed the beginning of
Constitutional Government in our great Re
public, also bchled the formation of our coun-
ty. Since then hundred years have sped
down the course of time. The nation has
honored the anniversary of the first and the
men of Allegany deem il but just that they
should pay tribute to the latter event
The press of our county voiced the senti-
mcnt of the celebration of the Centennial
Anniversary of the formation of Allegany
county; the people through the representa-
tives of associations, corporations and other
organizations accepted ami ratified the idea
The preliminary steps have been taken to
carry the idea into effect, and make the senti-
mcnt reality. An executive committee has
been appointed and organized subordinate
committees designated and the details of the
work are about to begin. Doubtless each cit
izen who has been assigned To duty will per-
form his allotted task earnestly and zealOusly
but this of itself will not bring success. We,
therefore feel constrained to appeal to the
generosity, county pride and patriotism of
our tellow-citizens, and ask them to give aid
and assistance by their council and their
purse, in order that we may celebrate the An
niversary in a manner worthy of the event
for it were better to pass the occasion by in
silence than to have the deed ignobly done
If it is worthy of Commemoration, then let
the honor he well done in harmony and uni
ty, not with reluctant hand or jealous heart.
Let us make it Il fit closing page to the record
of the first century in our existence as
county.
The finance committee will at once begin
their labors, and canvass the houses villages
and districts, to obtain the funds necessary to
secure success. We would. therefore, bespeak
for them liberal contributions. Let eech Citi-
zen give generously, willingly and according
to his means, for upon the munifcence of the
people depends the prosperous issue of the
enterprise.
We trust this appeal may be needed, and
that We may be enabled to gather the men Of
Allcgany from every part thereof, to our
county town, for Il joyous and gladsome cele-
bration, in which hospitality, spectacles
speech song, mirth and music shall be
salient features. Nor shall it be forgotten, to
give thanks to Him who leadeth ALL for a
| century of advancement, progress aud pros
perlty.
