one Of the best preachers We have.
Rev. r. T. Eumpsss is at Maia s..
Church. The people love him and
espect him much, and they couldn't
well help il. He is as pore as golI.
and true TO Christ as the neeule to

Advocate with us and placed US IN.
der great obligation 10 him. Il was

mire The pluck OF the people, and
Their progressive spirit. They are
full ofe7ersy and liberality. Dur

than auy other town in North Caroli-
na. "The Dukes" have recently
cold out for seven and q half millions

Both Of their factories, howeyere,

and there is every indication that
Gods cause and humanity will be
largely helped by II. In addition 70
this, there are q number Of men of
large means iu Durham, and q more
clever collection Of business men
