The silver dollar continues 10 'ircu-

them for one hundred cents, hut they
are not snapped up viii mo-e
eagerly than the paper dollar that
cost less than a cent to produce.
Both have Uncle Sans promise to
pay dollars worth of gold back OF
them, and this is what makes hem
good for their face. The silver dollar,
as far as intrinsic value is cOncrrnedl
might as well be made of tin or iron.
1t is simply promise to pay like the

The government has never prom
ised to redeem the silver dn'llr N
gold. The government coined the
silver dollar and said it should be a
legal tender for all debts and that is
why it does not depreciate. II buys
the necesSaries of life, pays debts and
taxes and performs every money func-
tiOn that gold will perform, aud NO
one has any desire to exchange it for
a gold dollar. Paper should do the
same thing. 1t is ridiculous to base
its value on gold. Either the paper
or silver dollar would be worth as
much if gold had never been discov
cred. They are redeemable in the
necessaries of life, which are of far
more value than gold.

CHURCH STATISTICS.
Growth of the Morayian Church in the
Southern Province.

THE SENTINEL is in receipt of a
copy of the Wachovia Moravian, a new
publication which is to be published
hereafter in the interest Of the
Moravian church in the South. The
new journal is to be conducted by the
Southern Provincial Elders Confer
ence, consisting of Bishop Rondthaler,
DR.. N. S. Siewers and Rev. James e.
Hall. The first issue is a model of
typographical neatness, besides being
filled with interesting matter about
the various churches in the district.
The Moravian gives the following
statistics showing the growth of the
congregations during 1892:
A net gain of l47 communicant
members was made over the preceding
year. This net gain was about one
new member to every II reported in
1891. The largest per cent. Of in
crease was in Kernersville congrega-
tion, where II were added to 40. Oak
Grove stands second, with a gain of
IA added to 73. In the Salem colored
congregation il were added to 81,
about the same per cent. as Oak
Grove. In Bethanla, 20 were added
to 17S. Then follows Friedland with
II to SO. In Salem Home church so
were added to 731. The same facts
may be stated also in the following
manner: Kernersville gains one to
every 3; Oak Grove and Colored, / to
every 5; Bethania, l to every 1; Fried
land, l to every s, and Salem, to
every 8.
Friedland and New Philadelphia
now exceed 100 communicates each;
Bethania now exceeds POO.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
To the Life and Death of Mrs. A Z
Montague.

To the Life and Death of Mrs. A e,
Montague.
Rev. r. T. Vann, pastor of the Bap-
the following beautiful tribute to
Mrs. A E. Montague, a member of
his church who died March 9th:
Mrs. Montague was born April 8,
1917, and so was nearly the end of her
seventy-sixth year. While yet a
blooming girl she united her life with
DR.. III. w. Montague, then rising
young ply sioidn of Wake county, and
together they spent more than fifty
years in happy, useful wedlock. Mrs.
Montague would have been a noble
woman in any community. OF fine
native talent she was given all the ed
ucational advantages and accomplish
ments open to young women of that
period: and being throughout her life
a wide and thoughtful reader she be-
came in the true sense educated and
cultured in an unusual degree. A
vigorous and independent thinker and
fluent talker she easily led the conver-
sation in almost any company. And
yet her natural mOdesty, refinement
and Difference to others always pre-
vented anything like boldnesS or OBJ
trusiyenesS. straightforward and ut
terly beyond the little conventional
batteries of so-called refined society
she was careful never to wound. She
commended honestly but generously
when she could, and reproved kindly
but firmly when she must blame at
all. Her spirit was always cheerful,
sympathetic, hopeful; so that little
children and youth found her ever a
charming companion. Her charity
was generous but discriminating She
wasted little on undeserving objects,
but worthy need never appealed to
her in vain. More than fifty years
ago she consecrated her life to Christ,
to whom she gave half a century of
faithful, loving service.
Eleven children, including B. f.
Montague, Esq, of Raleigh, and DR..
S. =. and III. Montague, of Winston,
survive her. These, together with a
wide circle of admiring friends, will
hold her memory in reverent esteem,
rising up through coming years to
call her blessed.

If this did not occur so often IT, could
be overlooked, but dayor too every
week its fails to come. Some one is
TO blame for such irregularity, and it
must be the postmaster at Winston,
if so, l hope the next paper will bring
the information that Mr.. Cleveland
has appointed new postmaster for
Winston. 1t is very disappointing to
fail to get it.
Farmers are having beautiful wealth
er in which to prepare for this years
crop, and they are making good use of
it. We see now on all sides the newly
turned sod and it makes us feel like
summer is coming and spring-time is
here" Peach trees are blooming and
if a heavy frost does not kill the
young fruit, there will be good
crop.
Notwithstanding all that is being
urged against it, large crop of tobac-
co will be planted again this year.
Farmers should raise more of the nee
essaries of life, and plant tobacco as a
surplus.
If farmers would only raise their
own supplies-such as wheat, oats.
corn, hay, potatoes, meat, etc, the
cry of hard times would cease to be
heard. A great deal of the dissatis-
faction among the classes would also
disappear.

THE RALEIGH PAPERS.
The Two Morning Papers Have Finally
Consolidated.

Raleigh will have but one morning
newspaper. The Raleigh News and
Observer and the State Chronicle have
consolidated and it is understood
that the News and Observer has
leased the Chronicle. What form
this consolidation will take as to
style and title is not known nor is it
clear what will become of the editori-
al staff etc, of each paper.
The News and Observer is the older
paper having been established in 1872.
The State Chronicle was founded in
1877 by Walter Page, now editor of
the Forum magazine. In 1890 it be-
came daily, and about a year ago
Hon. 7. r. Jerrigan succeeded jose
phus Daniels as editor. Raleigh has
not been considered field for two
successful dailies, nor, indeed, is any
city in the State large enough to
properly support two daily newspa-
pers with telegraphic service.
