HANDSOME COLLECTION.
The Young Mems Missionary Society
in Salem.

The attendance at the M0ravidn
church in Salem Jan. Goth. was large.
The occasion was the anniversary
meeting of the Young Mems Mission
airy Society of that denomination.
The exercises, too, were interesting
After love feast, the President of
the Society, Tom Siddall, read his an
nual report. He stated that the So
ciety was to make donations, and to
gather missionary Intelligence.
The society numbers about 60 active
members, and 80 honorary. The ac-
tive members are men, residents of
Salem, between the ages of 16 and 30
years. Others residents in either Win
ston or Salem may become honorary
members, The work of the Society
during the past year was ably review
ed.
The Corresponding Secretary, Hen
ry Shaffner, read his report, telling Of
the work in Moravian mission fields,
and reading extracts from missionary
letters.
Herbert Pfohl. the Treasurer of the
Society then read his report showing
that over $40 had been donated to
missions during 1892.
Rev. J. r. Moose, pastor of the
Burkhead Methodist church then
made the annual address before the
Society. Mr.. Moose is himself a can
didate for the Mission field and stated
last night, in pleasant way, that if
it had not been for the stinginess of
the Southern Methodigt church, he
would now be preaching the Gospel to
the Chinese.
He said the Morayians send out one
foreign missionary to every sixty
members, and if the Methodist church
would do the same, they would have
sent out enough missionaries to stand
all over China and shake hands.
The address was an excellent one
and earnestly delivered.
A collection amounting to S94 was
taken up.
A most enjoyable feature was the
singing by large chCir, assisted by
the church orchestra.

In speaking last night to the Elisha
Mitchell Scientific Club on the subject
of weather, Prof. Venable said that
this was the c0ldest protracted spell

experienced since the first records
were taken in 1910.
Once the thermometer fell lower, in
the winter of 1S56-'57, but it did not
remain low for any great length o.
time. On Jan. 18, 1857, snow began
falling and continued ali day until it

This great snow remained on the
ground until after the middle of Feb

FRUIT RAISING INDUSTRY
An Experienced FruitGrOWGr Writes
on the Subject.
CANNING IS GINNING IN CAROLINA.

Consideration-The Pleasure and
Utility of Having an Abundance of
Fruit for Home Consumption
The Great Variety of our Fruits.
To the Editor of The Sentinel
AS to my opinion in regard to fruit
growing and the canning industry
which our people should feel a great
interest in. | must say that to me the
outlook for North Carolina is grow
ing and the subject of canning fruits
Is receiving favorable consideration.
What country could we point out that
can give such variety of fine fruits
for daily use as North Carolina, most
especially the northern and western
portions Of our State These sections
are the home of the strawberry, cur
rant, goOseberry, grape, peach, apple,
pear, plum and many other fruits of
which all are of our native varieties
and many foreign varieties are profit
ably grown, and shipping to distant
markets would no doubt add greatly
to North Cardinals wealth.
| do not propose to say that fruit
growing will bring fortune to each
and every one engaging IN that occu-
patton, but the evidence is on every
I hand that fruit growing in most parts
Of North Carolina does pay a rich re-
ward to every owner that engages in
1t to the full extent of home supplies,
if nothing more We must realize
the fact that the wives and little ones
spend most of their time at home and
consequently if there is any place on
earth that should be beautiful, pleas
ant and enticing, it should be a fam
ily's home surroundings and in what
better way can the tiller of the soil
make it thus than to plant trees and
vines to hang laden during the sum-
mer and autumn with their beautiful
crimson and golden fruits. and as they
mature. gather and store away i'm its
green state, and also can periShable
! fruits for future use.
Many a child with a love for his
| home has been disguSted and driven
! into other countries, no doubt, be-
cause the home surroundings were so
| destitute Of attractions. Fruits will
| help make home attractive, pleasant
and enticing. The children love to
| gather ana eat fruit and the middle
| aged and the old people love to wan
! der amongst the trees and vines and
! pluck and eat of such fruit as crescent
and sharpless Strawberries, white and
! red curfants. black tartarian and early
| purple cherries, the June and other
| apples, the Alexander, the Crawfords.
! Golden Cling and other peaches, the
! Bartlett, Seckcs, Lawrence and other
| pears: the beautiful Brighton. Lady
and other grapes; the plums and other
! fruits.
Why neglect to have those bounties
| and beauties of creation which are
! given Us for SO little trouble and ex-
penSc and which is such a blessing to
| our country.

THE WINSTON MARKET.
The Tobacco Journals Review of Las
Week.

Nothing worth reporting.
That's the truth of the whole mat
ter, not only on this market, but
throughout the State. Loose leaf
sales for the past four weeks have
been smaller than for any correspond
ing period for many years, and jan
uary will no doubt make sorry
show. The weather has been such as
to suspend sales almost entirely.
What stock has been sold consisted
mostly of shipped tobacco, very few
wagons being able to get to town.
Quality was about the same as usual
and prices strong in everything offer
ed. Manufacturers and dealers are
getting anxious for open sales, and
when the weather softens prices are
likely to be strong. -Four months OF
the tobacco year are gone and it is es-
timated that not one-fifth of the crop
has been sold.

Revenue Raid i'm wilkes.

The Greensboro revenue officers who
were in Winston few days ago went
and Somers townships. The Chroni-
Gle thinks they increased their repu-
tation heretofore made in the matter
of carving up stills. In two days,
or perhaps less time, they raid
ed fifteen stills. Not yet content and
thinking that perhaps the old still
houses were yet inhabited by some
sort of Spirits they feared would
haunt them hereafter, they even
stuck torch to the old helpless still
houses and left them pile of ashes.
1t is not learned who owned the
destroyed property.

for a minute they can pretty we'll
see what has become of our cir
culating medium. About 22,ooo,-
900 visitors at the Worlds fair.
AT least one.half of them came
fir I'M the west. They spent on an
average, including railroad fare,
$50 each. amounting in all to $780,
QUO, 1000. The great portion of it
Went to Chicago or to the railroad
companies. They have not yet
decided what they will do with it;
when spring comes and they de-
eide to plant it in our growing
western towns, in railroad building
or other enterprises, and it gets
scattered about, then we can begin
to look for good times again.
