WAKE FOREST, n. c., June $.
This was commencement day proper
at Wake Forest College and at an
early hour people began to arrive by
private conveyances and each regular
train and several specials brought large
crowds to the "Iiill." Thirty eight
young gentlemen received diplomas as

ALBEMARLE, N. c., June 9.-Alex-

d. b. Tucker in Arkadelphia, Ark,
on goth Of February last-both Stanly
county men. Whitley made his escape
to this county, was captured Monday
morning and placed in Jail here to
await orders from the Arkansas sheriff.
But mob of Stanly county men took
the law into their own hands, forced
an entrance into the Jail here, secured
Whitley and swung him to tree near
town at 2 o'clock this morning Sher-
if Scruggs did everything he could to
prevent the deed, and though he did
not surrender the keys, the resistance
he and his small guard made, proved
futile. This is the first lynching ever
done in this county, and the excite
ment over it is great. Whitley denied
the crime and would make no confes
sion. Quick work was made of it ant
it passed off silently.

Local Newspapers.

At the annual convention OF the New
York Press Association, held at Bluff
Point. Lake Champlain. President Henry
Stowell of the Seneca Falls RereiUs
made an address, in the course of which
he said:
The local press of which this association
is mainly composed has It's field of labor
and usefulness. It's rapid strides toward
a higher and better standard of journalism
during the past few years have been OF
most commendable character. With rare
exceptions it has become a great power
for good. Limited and circumscribed as
it necessarily is. in comparison with the
great dailcs, in its means and facilities,
either for collecting or disseminating news
or opinions, it must be remembered that
its editors are, or ought TO be, very close
to the constituency for which they write.
Their interests are mutual. The country
editor should be no mere dependent or
hanger-on upon party or Official patronage ;
neither should he be deferred by the fear of
losing official printing or party support
from the frank, honest and manly express
sion of the opinions which he shares with
his neighbors. With superior opportuni-
ties for sscertaining and knowing the drift
of popular opinion and political discussion
throughout the state, he should aid in pro-
noting honest and pure politics in which
he is capable of playing 80 useful part.
Rising above the influences of merely per-
sonal, partisan or local prejudices, he
should seek to understand himself and help
others, his friends and neghbors, to un-
derstand all the great social, economic
and political questions of the day. He
should, moreover, understand that he is
making paper for the home and the fire.
side; that its moral tone should be elevat-
ing and refining that it should always be
on the side of morality and virtue, and
wholly free from vulgarity, slang and i'm
purity. The local paper is emphatically the
home paper and is read by the purest and
most innocent of our homes. 1t should be
loyal to its homes and people. The best
capital it can have is confidence in the in
tegrity Of its character and while it should
be newspaper in every sense of the word,
the measure of confidence it has should be
held sacred. There is no power in the
country more potent for evil or good than
that exerted by the press, and upon those
| who conduct it rests q responsibility i'm
| measurably great. They are holders of a
| trust, not the wanton wielders of an un-
governed and unscrupulous power.

AUNT Mary" for permission to gather at

Tie following poem, composed for the
occasion by Mrs. Della Moore Noonan OF
Prospect Harbor, was read:
Moore Reunion, Aug. II, 1892.
One year ago we met wnere now we meet
Beneath the waving branches of these trees,
Where song OF bird. and scent Of wildw ood
sweet
Are borne to Us by every passing breeze.
From widely scattered homes we gather here
As children Of one family would come,
With grateful, loving hearts and bounteous
cheer,
To the dear. cherished spot, their childhood's
home.
Over these bills through many changing years
Have kindred footprints fingered, day by day
And here, mid joys and sorrows, smiles and
tears,
Youth has grown old, and golden heads grown
gray.
Where clinging vines and clustering boughs OF
green
Throw cooling shadows where the sunshine
falls,
The old home stands, where, through the long
long years,
Have echoed kindred voices through its halls
Long may It stand. and, as the years pass on
Hold noble hearts who claim the name Of
Moore,
And gather pleasant memories to adorn
The worthy, honored name our fathers bore

Shirt Sleeve" Christian.

1t was Wednesday night the regular
night for the weekly prayer-meeting-
the lecture-room was uncommonly full.
The pastor had taken for his subject the
necessity of Christian work, and he grew
more than usually eloquent over his theme.
He exhorted his hearers to put the same
earnestness and force into their spiritual
labors that they did into their business.
why" he continued, "when | come
round to see you in your working hours, in
your offices and shops, or on your farms,
/ don't find you with kid gloves on. No,
your hands are bare. and your coats are
off and sleeves turned well back out of the
way; you're working then. Now we want
the same thing in the church; we want
more shirt-sleeve Christians"
Having reached this climax, the homely
force of which made visible impression
upon his hearers, he called upon good
Deacon Shepard to lead in prayer.
The Deacon, as usual, sat in the front
row, and his long spare form rose slowly
and with characteristic dignity. The seat
was near the big wood stove, and the fire
was hot one. He thought it wise, there
fore, before beginning his petition, which
was always of liberal length, to remove his
heavy overcoat.
But as the Deacon's Overccat was too
small, while the undercost was too large,
it was easier to take of the two garments
than the outer one alone. The Deacon
knew this, and was accustomed to button
the inner coat before reno ring the other.
Unfortunately, on this occasion he neglect
ed the precsution. The congregation was
waiting. He gave q quick tug at either
sleeve, closed his eyes and began to pray.
Some irreverent boys whose eyes were
open quickly observed the Deacon's strange
conduct. the smiles became broader and
more audible. and presently the minister
himself glanced up and saw that the So
berest and most dignifed officer of the
church had taken him literally at his word,
and was standing up before the whole
house, oRa cold winter night. praying in
his shirt-sleeves.

Centenary Celebration.
WEST SULLIVAN, Aug. %. 1892.

WEST SULLIVAN, Aug. 22, 1892.
The West Sullivan Baptist church was
second to hold missionary rally in the
series to be held in Hancock Association
At conference of the pastors, it was rec
commended that Oct. 2nd, if possible,
which was the date of the organization of
the first missionary society at kettering,
England, otherwise some Sabbath pre-
yious, be observed as the centennial of
modern missions.
AS f. III. Slower is supplying here for
the summer months, this church decided
to hold their centenary celebration on the
date Of Aug. 2lst, by having a Sunday
School concert and making use Of the reg
ular program furnished by the Publication
Society. Thus our little church was the
first in Hancock Association to celebrate
the centenary, but we hope not the least
in the spirit of its offering, if it should
happen to be the least in the amount.
The evening was perfect, the church was
filed. The opening exercises began with
singing, Missionary Chant" Go, Pro-
claim the Wondrous Story" and "Zion,"
by the congregation; followed by reading
of the second psalm and prayer.
The concert proper began with greet
ing by Miss Ada Farnsworth. She told
the audience in her own cute way that

planning the meaning of centenary to the
little "tots" and telling about Mr.. Carey's
early efforts to do something for the heath
en- boys and girls, and their mammas and
papas.
This was followed by very interesting
exercise in which different scholars told
of Mr.. Carey's childhood. Of his boyhood
and youth. Another told how Mr.. Carey
became missionary. 1t was while read
ing the book Cooks Voyages" that he
became anxious that the heather should
know about the gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ. A short account of the voyage was
then given. Another scholar described
Krishna Pal, the nrst Hindoo convert, and

doc Girl and Tyler Gordon, Freely ye
have received, freely give" singing BY
the congregation. The Morning Light is
Breaking; then followed an account of
what we are doing in foreign missions by
Mrs. Belinda Fsrnsworth. And again the
audience had the pleasure of listening to
Miss Isle Hawkins Of Sullivan Harbor and
Miss Bartlett as they sang;
Far. far away in heather darkness dwelling
Millions OF souls forever may be lost;
Who. who will go, salvation's story telling,
Looking TO Jesus, codnting not the eostr'
What we ought to do" was the subject
Of the next topic by Miss Cassie Murch,
and then we sang, "Shall We, Whose
Souls Are Lighted with Wisdom from on
High etc. After this hymn came a rec
itation, Little Helpers, by Sadie Hooper
and another by Alice Farnsworth entitled
Heather Children which was spoken In
manner which reflected much credit upon
the speaker aud set before the people a
vivid word picture of the sad condition Of
heather children. The people cheerfully
contributed four dollars and a quarter be-
sides three dollars raised In the regular Sun
day School plan, class b, making our to-
tai centennial Offering for missions seven
dollars and aquarter.
The music to close was two verses OF
the old missionary hymn, From Green

us left the church building better fitted to
take up afresh the old routine duties of
every day life, for hearing anew that many
millions Of people are less favored than
We are.
