OUR TRIP TO MACS HEAD.

It was our pleasure 70 visit on Sun
day last the old favorite resort, Nag :
Head, Of which it has been said every
man in Eastern Carolina should feel a
pIid Having boarded the swift run
ming and elegant Yacht Thos. q. Hunt.
CaptH, Covert, master, at late hour
Saturday night, we were soon glillng
swiftly toward the ocean. With
fine and favorable breeze we soon found
ourselves upon the shire of the mighty
deep; 1.-THE waves were rolling shore
ward, as they have rolled for ages, and
will roll for ages yet to come; time leaves
no mark-years make no change the
storms rage, and the waves are dashed
into fury by the giants of the air, and
vet. when the calm comes, and the
clouds have gone by, we can find no
footprint of the storm king upon the
painless waters. Around us we see the
blue pillows capped with snowy foam
glistening in the sunlight like vast
field of pearl set jewels" upon which
many "ships that never returned" have
glided merrily, and where lies the bones
of loved ones who are buried beneath
the waters. mo stick or stone marks
their place Of rest. but old ocean sings
q continuous requiem over their re
mains, and perchance the Mermaids
weave wreathes Of moss and sea grass
about them, and the fairies of the deep
bring diamonds and pearls, to deck the
bed where those mortal remains shall
be until the Sea shall give up its dead. >
Our stay at the beach, though short,
was indeed pleasant. The hotel, under
the management of Mr.. Whedbee, is
the finest that has ever yet been erected
at this point. Every room is nicely
finished and handsomely furnished. The
ball room is large and pretty, and the
pier is the largest and best to be found
in North Carolina We most sincerely
wish everyone of our people could span e
time and money. to visit Nag's Head
aud spend even while if not the sea
son. 1t would not only add greatly to
their health and longevity, hut the
pleasures to be enjoyed at this popular
resort are unsurpassed.
Our trip Oh the Yacht Hunt, both 60
ing and coming, was the most pleasant
we have ever had. Capt: Covert did
everything in his power tomake it so
and Re shall ever remember his hospi

CoNs1sTANCY is a charm, but man,
fail to appreciate it. There is nothing
consistent in the following: When a
negro votes a Democratic ticket and
his associates find it out, they try to
mob him. Suppose now when a white
man voted a Republican ticket his
associates would try to murder him
The negro, nor the Northern papers
would not be able to find words bad
enough to condemn such actions If
the negro intend to be consistent when
one OF his number votes the Dem cratic
ticket let him alone. He does the same
as the white man does when he votes
a Republican ticket. Allow every man
to do what he thinks to be to his inter
est, be he white or black.

death Of PROT Jake ". Rust.

/
The sad news Of the death OF Prof.
]. w. Rust, of HopkinsviIle, reached
here yesterday, which event oc-
Cured early Sunday morning.
1t is unnecessary to say much
about Prof. Rust in this section,
where he was so well known.
One might write columns in eulogy
of his overshadowing character, if
space permitted. He was in every
sense grand man, whose long life
was crowded full Of activity and
great usefulness from his boyhood to
the day of his death.
Although seventy years of age, he
was not an old man in anything.
He exhibited the vigor of youth and
the activity of growing, expanding
intellect to the last. He was a
strong, positive man, earnest, ener-
getic, persevering and untiring in
his energy. Prof. Rust was ordained
minister Of the gospel by the Bap-
fist church in early life, and while
he was capable and in the highest
degree qualified for the ministry of
Christ, he preferred the school-room,
impressed that his highest duty and
greatest usefulness was in the capac-
ity of teacher.
Some forty years or more since he
was connected with the Female
Academy of this city, and served
most acceptably for a number of
years, aiding in building up popu-
lar school. He also had some con-
nection with Bethel Female College
at Hopkinsville. During the war he
was elected president of Bethel Male
College, Russellville, KY, which po-
sition, after several terms, he gave
up to take charge of Bethel Female
College at Hopkinsville, where he
has continued since, building up a
furnishing school. AS an educator
he was wonderful success. No
man has excelled him in this Sec
ton.
That he was Christian man with
a heart always full to overlooking
with the love of God, no one who
knew him could doubt. He had
hand in every good cause and good
work, and was everywhere in all
religious meetings of his denomina-
ton, where his influence, which was
great, would add much to the adj
vancement of Christianity. He was
an able debater in conventions and
power in the Sunday-school work.
He also served long term as clerk
of Bethel Baptist Association and in
spired great deal of life and Chris
tian enterprise into that body.
DIR. Sears, in his sermon Sunday
night, alluded to his death and the
Christian character and great useful
ness of the noble soldier of the cross
in the most affectionate and eulogis-
tic terms.

THE IDEAL MAN.
Interesting Services at the Pres
byterian Church.
The oratorical Contest at Stewart Hall
Hall Tonight Promises to be High
~ Interesting and Closely
Contested.

The Presbyterian church was taxed
to its utmost seating capacity Sun
day morning to hear the Rev. w.
l.. Nourse deliver The baccalaureate
sermon, which is the first on the pro-
gram of the S. w. p. U. commence
ment exercises.
The minister read his text as fol.
lows:
Till we all come in the unity of faith, and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto o
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature
of the fullness of Christ.-Eph. iv-l3,
1t will be readily inferred from the
language of the text that the subject
of the discourse was the "Ideal Man. y
He said that people never think Of
looking ahead to find an ideal man
they always look to the past. 1t was
evident from this that there was at
one time perfect man in the world.
That man was Jesus Christ. He was
the Ideal Man, the only perfect one.
He took the ground that every per-
son had an ideal. If a young man
at school took particular liking for
any one study, that was his ideal.
This will hold good in any of the
walks of life. When a man sets his
heart on any one thing, that object
becomes his ideal. He worships it
more than he may think. He
may not notice it, but Others
will. Many people put their whole
souls and bodies into the effort to
make money. In this case money
becomes the ideal. A man must
teke for his pattern an ideal man.
No poetical fancy will fill the bill.
He must be man, perfect in per-
fiction. Addressing himself to the
young men of the congregation, the
minister poured out a stream of elo-
quence that is seldom surpassed by
visiting preachers. He exhorted
them to take the Savior as their ideal
and follow in his footsteps. No man
can hope, said he, to reach any
height of perfection unless he takes
the "Man of Gallilee" as his ideal.
He was the perfect one, and it is
Him we should follow.
DIR. Nourse preached about fifty
minutes, and throughout the entire
sermon the closest attention was
paid him. He is an eloquent, inn
pressive speaker, and will captivate
as well as instruct.
The music by the choir was excel
lent. At the close Of the sermon
Clarksvilles quartette, Messrs,
Macrae, Hodgson, Caldwell and
Wilson sang 81 am Slowly Wander
ing Down." with telling effect. 1t
is fine piece of music, and the
words are full of sentiment. The
audience was well pleased with the
rendition, and taking it all in all the
song had good effect.
This opens the commencement ex-
ercises of the University. AS pub
lished Saturday. the literary societies
will contest for the oratorical medal
tonight, at Stewart Hall. The con-
test will be close and the boys will
do their best. Give them a full
house.
