The protracted meeting that has


been in progress for the past three
weeks in ST. Paul's NJ. E. Church in
this city has concluded with very
satisfactory results. There were
several conversions, and many luke
warm members reclaimed, not to
speak of the gracious efficacy of the
meeting to those who are ever Jealous
in the cause of Christ.
THE sympathy of this entire COM
munity goes out with inexpressible
tenderness to Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.
Freeman in the death of their infant
twin daughter Hannah, s months
old, which occurred at their home on
William street Wednesday night. The
funeral was held from St. Mary's
Church Thurday afternoon at 4
o'clock, Rey. Father Marion, of Ra-
leigh. officiating. The floral tributes of
many kind friends were beautiful.
To Him who said, "Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not. for of such is the kingdom
of Heaven" we commend the sor
rowing parents for comfort and sue
cor in this sad hour of bereavement.

The "Third Party" meeting of
Mr.. Abbott L. Swinson in This city
Friday was very much Of a fasco.
In fact, it was of SO minute nature
tLat it is hardly worth while men
tioning it--and the handful of Solons
CD, who participated were of such
previous political unstableness that
they don't count "no how. For
instance Ex-accidental Gov. Brogden,
of odious Republican rule, was one
of the affiliators and helped Mr.
Swinson to "run the meeting He
moved-and put the motion-Mr:
Swinson being in the chair, that Mr..
Swinson's monthly newspaper, 1Ht
agricultural Bee, be made the oftic-
ial organ of the "Third Party" in
Wayne county. Mr.. Swinson was
made Chairman of the ''Third Party
Executive Committee Of the county
Mr.. Swinson was empowered to ap-
point man from each township ir
the county as a member of his exeou
tive committee, but up to this writln
he has been unable to complete thu
list, there not being any Thirt
Party" men to be found in some OF
the townships. Mr.. Swinson adj
journed the meeting until he get
his committee made up, subject t.
his call. There were by actual coun
forty who "stood up" as voting OF
the organization of the Third Part,
in the county. That's all-and the,
were all there.
