The council meetingMOndayn night was
presided over by Mayor Willard. and
all Of the cOuncilmen answered TO

STREET SPRINKLING.
The Board of Public Works report
ed that it had awarded the street
sprinkling contract to VIM. Page, for
80 cents per 100 feet per week.

Bishop Lyman then delivered an address
OF an hours length, in which he rccounted
the events OF the last half century, Gov
ering the progress of the church where he
had labured, both III Europe and Amer.
lea The work to which he has devoted
himself with greatest earncstness is that
OF missions in Western North Carolina,
and he has contributed literally OF his
own large means to further that work.
His address was heard with pleasure.
At ITS close Rev. DR.. NJ. NJ. Marshall,
rector OF Christ church, Raleigh, as pres
ilcnt of the diocesan convention, and OF
standing committee, presented the bishop
with pastoral stati. DR.. Marshall in
so doing made an address of rare beauty
and force. The gift is a very rich one
and is by the clergy and laity of the do
ccSc. rhe staff is Of ebony and silver.
The bishop was not aware that it was
to he presented and his emotion was cvi-
dent. He thanked his people for this
token of their ailcctionate remembrance.
Services were closed by the communion,
administered by the bishop.
Saturday evening the bishop held a re-
ccption at his handsome residence and
was assisted by number of clergy and
ladies. The attendance at the reception
was large, and all denominations were
represented.
