THE CITY CHURCHES.
"hat Ihey Are DOing..The Progress
They Are Making,

At Central NJ. E. church, last Sun
day, three new scholars were enrolled in
the Sunday school, 1t was decided to
hold the the annual Sunday school pic
mic at Taylor's Pond on Nav Goth.
The officers of the school propose to
make it very pleasant affair, and are al
ready arranging for 1t.
There were 800 scholars present at the
Baptist Tabernacle. and eight new schol-
ars were enrolled. There were two ac-
cessions to the church by letter and ono
oy baptism. This church is surely one
OF the most aggressive in the city, and
it is continually doing elevating and
beneficient work. Besides the reg
ular services on Sunday, one
band of members held services
at the Swain Street mission station
and met large and interested
audience there. Another band visited
the county convict quarters at Camp
Kussel, and held prayer meeting with
the inmates there. Still another band
held cottage prayer meetings in various
parts OF the city during the afternoon.
This work is done unostentatiouslv.
with no desire for nctoriety of publicity,
but from the noblest motives that move
men to work for their fellow men; and
while the world takes but little cogni-
zance of the work of these men, they
are yet continually adding stars to their
crowns. This work is not spasmodic,
but is G regular feature of the general
work of the Tabernacle congregation.
at Edenton Street church there were
four accessions to the church member
ship. At the evening service Rev. J.
II. Gordon preached sermon, in which
he delineated the principles of Odd
Fellowship by forcible illustrations from
the Bible. He said that if that Blessed
| book should be taken from among US, not
only would the people of various evan
gelical faiths be deprived of their only
stay and hope. but that bitter wall
would also go up from all the thousands
of lodges of the noblest and largest be.
nefcent Order in the world. Friend
ship, Love and Truth are the symbols
insignia and principles of the Order
and these were taken separately at first
and elegantly illustrated, after which
they were woven into a three-linked
chain of strength and beauty The sub
lect was treated ornately and interest
lngly by the preacher, and the sermon
was heard by very large congregation
There was one accession to the mem
bership of the First Baptist church.

HIGH POINT, n. c., April 26th.-As
the manufacture of tobacco is one of the
largest industries In the State, we take
pleasure in letting the public know the
many institutions of this kind now in
operation in North Carolina We have
given space many times before, and will
continue to mention all our industrial
institutions until we have, in some way.
called attention to all in the State. It
Is OF interest to the public to note the
success of home industries, that others
may follow a like exemple.
The firm of W. P. Pickett & Co. was
established here IN 1872 and is COMPOSED
OF some OF the most enterprisipg men in
the county. Mr.. w. p. Pickett is a
native of Davidson county, and may be
said to have been ''cradled in tobacco"
DE has made it life business and has
devoted many Years to its manufacture.
The other members of the firm are
Messrs. j. }. Welch and F. NJ. Pickett.
The firm is doing an immense business,
working on full time and manufacturing
the finest grades of plug and twist. The
factory is large building, 1O0x20O feet,
and we'll ventilated. 1t is also thorough
ly supplied with all the latest improved
machinery. They have ample capital
for all the requirements of their bust
ness. There are 200 hands worked, and
the capacity of the factory is one million
pounds of tobacco manufactured an
nually.
When the business started, it was
small, but has grown, until today the
goods manufactured by this enterprisins
firm is sent to all the Western and
Southern States. The day is not far
distant when North Carolina will be the
| leading tobacco manufacturing State in
| the whole South. The suucess of this
branch of industry in North Carolina
has been remarkable. While a good
deal of it has been due to enterprise. we
must not forget the fact that, grown in
our borders, is the finest tobacco in the
world. 1t is only a question Of time
when, instead of having hundred or
SO, we will have thousands of manufat,
tories in the State.

ing navigation, but it is forcing the
river to 20 down the Atchafalaya, and
and at the same time it is under
mining, overtaxing and overtopping
che leyees. because it increases the
volume and velocity OF the water,
thereby making 4 flood more de-
struciive than it would be otherwise.
For the past SIX years have been
protesting against this plan. at every
opportunity offered where it did not
interfere with pending appropriations.
But the parties having the expenditure
of these appropriations are SO deaf to
reason and the warnings that came to
them from foreign lands, where, under

been aggravated as they are now being

to appeal direct to Congress which sup
plies the money.
