WINSTON PREsBYrERIANs.
Reports of Their Work Made to the
State SYNOD.

State Synod.
THE SENTINEL CLEANS the following
fre m the many interesting reports
made to the Presbyterian Synod
which was recently held at Tarboro:
Rev. Q. W. Robinson began work
Jan. 1st, 1898, giving half his time to
and residing at Winston as City
Evangelist of the Winston church,
odical evangelistic work mainly at
Elkin and Kernersville. At Winston
he organized in April a Second Pres
byterian church with fifteen men,
bers; has added six; has a Sunday
school of one hundred pupils, with
ten teachers, and the new church is
gaining favor with the people.
In October Leaksville was substitu-
ted for Kernersville as monthly
preaching point, the latter field being
fully occupied by other denomina
tions, and the Leaksville church pay
ing for one-fourth of the evangelists
time.
At Elkin, a very important Synodi-
cal mission point, where church of
ten members was organized last fall,
the evangelist has received six new
members, and has raised in the COM
munity subscription of $500 to erect
y
lot granted by the Land Company.
He preached regularly at two points
in the neighborhood of Elkin. So
strong an impression has been made
for our church and So popular are it's
services, that when the church build
ing, at an early day, is completed at
Elkin, our membership there Will
probably be doubled in six months.
Orange Presbytery has raised for
its own work S639.S4, which it has
used in one months time of the Gen
eral Evangelist. There is one city
mission church within it's bounds, the
Second Church of Winston, to which
the Winston First Church contributes
81 200, ST, 200 of which was raised dur
ing this, the first year, from the Win
ston church by the Synodical Super
intendent. Synod has had during the
past year the entire support of one
evangelist in this Presbytery, and the
partial support of three. To Synodl-
Cal Missions 81 20379 has been con-
tributed, $6l9.24 through regular col
lections, and 1854 SIS raised by Syn
odical Superintendent.

III. Was No soek,ess PopuIist.

From the Wilmington Star.
1t was in a sleeping car, going
through Kansas. The man from the
East was evidently agitated about
something. 1t was a remarkable
fact that he had newspaper spread
over his lap and seemed scared to
death. The man in the seat behind
him saw him looking under the seat
every once in a while, and after a
time made bold to say:
"Have you lost anything?"
"No."
After silence he turned his head
and said:
"My friend, will you lean over so
that [ can talk to you without turn
ing around ?''
The request was compiled with,
and he went on:
'sIm lookin' for a friend in need.

HOBBS NOT HEARD FROM.
HIS WIFE HAS RECEIVED NO LET
TER FROM HIM.
what She Has to Say About His Dis
appearance-Thinks He Will
Turn up safe and Sound"

The report became current on the
streets yesterday that George
Hobbs, who mysteriously disappeared
from this city few weeks since, had
been heard from by his wife, and that
he was now in Florida.
A SENTINEL representative called
upon Mrs. Hobbs to get the partlcu-
lars in the matter. When asked
about the letter she affirmed that
she had not received one from MI.
Hobbs and that she had no idea as to
the whereabouts of her missing nus
band; that she had no clue whatever
as to what had been his fate.
When asked if she believed that any
foul play had been perpetrated upon
him she discredlted any such sur
mise as groundless, remarklng that
1.-The words of a drunken man are the
expression of the sober mans
thoughts"
Mr.. Hobbs had, she said, on several
occasions, prior to his disappearance,
while drinking, declared that he in
tended to leave the town because he
could never stop drinking while he re-
manned here. She believes that he
will turn up some day, somewhere,
safe and sound
Mrs. Hobbs says that the report
that Mr.. Hobbs had upwards of two
hundred dollars on his person when
he disappeared is false. She says he
only had about $50 and she learned
that he loaned a negro in the market
five of that. This sum, she says, was
not sufficient to tempt foul play by
any of his associates.
Mr.. Hobbs was given to foolish and
groundless notions and suspicious,
when he was drinking, to any extent.
The day before he disappeared, he in
some way got one side of his mustache
cut off tMr. Hobbs wore very heavy
one OF which he was rather vain, and
he came home accused Mrs. Hobbs
as being the party who did the cllpp-
lug; this accusation she stoutly denied;
Hobbs left the house and told friend
that lie intended to leave home be-
cause his wife had cut off his mus
tache. She does not think that this
actuated him in his action but lndl-
Gates that this matter of leaving was
bearing upon ais mind.
Mrs. Hobbs is quite hopeful that
her husband will be heard from or
make his whereabouts known soon.
She is living with her father, Mr.. E.
Carter, on Elm street. Salem.

Miss Elizabeth Green, of Detroit,

Bv local application., as they cannot reach the
diseased norton of the ear. There is only one
way to cure de afness. AMI that is by constitu-

Eustachian Tuba. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and is tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing it will be destroyed forever;
nine case out of ten are caused by .cataarh.

The Mormons Capture Sixteen Beauti-

full GuilfOrd Girls.
From the Concord Standard.
The two Mormons, who have been
operating in the county said to Mr.. J.
B. White that if the people of a Sec
tion didn't want them to remain
there, all the people had to do was to
notify them. In accordance with this,
the following have passed resolutions
asking G.. nj. Smith and e. A. Griffin,
the Mormons to leave the county ::
Rock River, No. Zion and White
Hall, No. IL Cold Springs, No. 9; Mt.
Carmel, No. 5, and Centre church, No.
IL.
These men want to work the other
townships, but if they are requested
to stay out of them, Mr.. White thinks
they are sincere enough in their prom
ises to stay out.
These men are not needed. In Gull
ford county sixteen girls were induced
to go to Utah, and no one wants any
Cabarrus girls to go away under such
influence.

The Republican excitement against
fusion with the Populists is certainly
growing, and rapidly. The late cleo
ti5n has brought about this change of
view. The Republicans are very JUDI

Populists on account of the over
whelming defeat the latter suffered
in Virginia, and term the Populists
