Claretta Nora Avery's First Sermon in
the North.

Claretta Nora Avery's First Sermon in
the North.
New York Sun Nov. 23rd.
For the first time in her ten years
of life Claretta Nora Avery, the
Pickaninny Preacher, who has been
SO famous as a revivalist in the Car,
olinas for two years faced a. North
err audience last night. Reports of
her power preceded her. Not a ne>
gro In New York but knew that the
famous child evangelist was here
The result was that. before she be-
gan her sermon in the A. M. E. Zion
Church at Blocker and, West Tenth
streets every available spot of stand
ing and sitting room was occupied,
the choir loft, gallery, stars, and
vestibules were thronged and outs
side the church hundreds of colored
people turned away disconsolate in
their disappointment or hung abo ut
patiently waiting in the hope of see>
ing the wonderful girl as she came
out.
Most grown.up speakers facing so
great an audience and an audience
entirely unknown not only personal
ly, but in character, would have
felt some nervousness. Not so this
child. She spoke as calmly aud ea>
silly as if she were in conversation
with her intimate friends. Before
she began to speak one of the minis~
tiers asked:
won't you be frightened, facing
such an audlencef'
"What is there to be frightened
at9" she asked in surprise. II go
to preach the word that God has
called me to preach. How can 1 be
afraid with his power behind me?"
Throughout the sermon the atti>
tuce of her hearers was one of rapt
attention. There we're few pious
ordinations. for the speaker did
not Willingly give opportunity for
them. 1t would be difficult to de-,
scribe the attraction that held the
thousands on her every word. 1t
could not have been curiosity alone,
for the intentness was as eager at
the close as at the beginning. Yet
the attraction was present, and pos
tently SO. Before she was half way
through, the crowd pressing In from
the outside crowded the gallery
stain case to such an exteut that for
a moment at one time there seemed
some danger of a panic, caused by
the struggle of two young women
aud a young man to get out. Every
possible space was pre>empted. The
window spaces were filed with
staining people, and on top of the
thin partition separating the.choir
loft from the gallery landing were
perched two men at the imminent
peril of having the fimsy structure
give way and precipitate them on
the crowd beneath. A great MAJ
jority of the audience was colored,
but there were many whites, and
they seemed as much interested as
the others. At the end of the SER
vices the people crowded forward to
the platform, and it was only after =
struggle that the little girl was es>
corted through the crowd.

The gubernatorial bee buzzeth
nightly about the ears of Judge
Russell, of New Hanover, who wants
to be the fusion candidate next year.
A meeting, presumably in the inter
est of the Russell boomlet, was held
in Raleigh Friday night. The Judge
made a speech, Of course. If he likes
anything better than office it is to
make speeches to prejudiced ignora-
muses.. In that speech he used this
expression, which may prove appli-
cable to the Judge himself little
later on. He said: Freedom gives
the right to make a fool of yourself
if you want to"

THE OLD AND THE NEW,
Thanksgiving Dinner Menu Of Older
Time, and of Recent Date.

Thanksgiving Dinner Menu of Olden
Time, and of Recent Date.
The old fashioned Thanksgiving
table groaned beneath asuperab und
ance of good things In the country
especially there was enough laid
before the holiday guest to keep a
small family we'll supplied with food
for year. To express the p'entitude
of the larder seemed to be the ruling
passion for the time being, and to
partake literally was the highest
compliment one could pay to the
host and hostess.
In the end of the century days an
old fashioned Thanksgiving table
would fill us with feelings OF distrust
We have grown more dainty, or
perhaps it is more dyspeptic, and we
tempt our appetites with the chops
in lace paper frills and sandwiches
tied with pink ribbon. In the days
of the good old Thanksgiving a well
spread table was not considered
complete unless it was provided with
all of the following dishes. Here is
an old fashioned Thanksgiving
menu:
Oyster stew
Roast turkey. Roast chicken.
Sparerib. Sausages. Head cheese
Mashed potatoes Hot slaw
Boiled onions. Turnips Pickles,
Raised biscuits. White bread
Currant Jelly Preserves
Honey in the comb. Fruit cake.
Doughnuts
Mince, apple, custard and pumpkin pies.
Cheese. Apples and nuts. Cider.
Tea and coffee.
Times have changed since then,
and eating has become more of a
secondary consideration. The mod
ern Thanksgiving dinner must be
good aud we'll cooked. 1t must
contain a variety of dishes, but they
must be danny aud have sauces and
dressings and furnishings suggestive
of the day.
Delm 1nico's chef gives the follow
ing as his idel of fin de steele
Thank sgiving feast:
Oysters
Mock turtle soup.
Rissoles of weet breads.
Boiled bass with cream sauce.
Potatoes holIandaise.
Turkey stuffed with chestnuts
Oyster frit egs with cranberry jelly.
Broi breast of mallard duck.
Celery salad with mayonnaise.
Roquefort cheese.
Mince pie Ice cream. Fruit.

Couidn't Find the Verdict.
From an Exchange.

From an EXCnange.
A Texas paper says that in one of
the earliest trials before a colored
jury in Texas, the twelve gentlemen
were told by the judge to "retire and
find the verdict" They went into
the jury room, whence the opening
and shutting of doors and other
sounds of unusual commot;on were
presently heard. At last the jury
came back into court, when the fore
man announced: I'VE hab looked
everywhar, Judge, for dat verdict-in
de drawers and behind de doahs, but
it amt nowhar in dat blessed room."

How many of us have an expert
ence in Christian giving similar to
that of Bishop Duncan? He says
s.I am sometimes afraid to give to
the cause of Christ. 1t makes me
feel SO good that I am almost afraid
I do it because it is such a luxury.
am not anxious to hear the sound
of my gold and silver falling into my
till; but want to hear it sing IN the
happy voice of the orphan. / want
to hear it speak in the comfort of the
widows home; I want to hear it
rejoice in the Christian school; | want
to hear it shout in the mission work
of Japan and of the isles of the sea
and echo back to me from the hills
and valleys of all the continents Of
the earth"

their efforts will fail.

There are few more beautiful women or popular singers than Miss Theresa Vaughn, whose refined and exquisite singing in the burlesque, "1492," will long be remembered in every commu- nity. Her address is New York City, but she is known, respected and ad- mired from one end of our country to the other, and her strong endorsement of the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and her earnest advice for the tired out, the weak, the nervous, the rundown and debilitated, to use this grandest of all medicines, will be fol- flowed by everybody who needs a strengthening and invigorating remedy.
 She tells all to use it, because she knows it banishes all pain, cures the achingS head and dragging backache, restores the overtaxed brain, nerves the weary limbs, strengthens the weak and shattered nerves, gives natural, refreshing sleep,-in fact, makes all who use it strong and we'll. The rem edy is purely vegetable and perfectly harmless and may be given to infants children or the weakest invalids with positive assurance of beneficial results.
 Here is what she says:

THE INCKEASN ON SpOCK


 By the Southern New England Telephone
 Company.
 The following circular will be issued by the Southern New England Tele- phone company to-day:
 To the Stockholders of the Southern New England Telephone Company: At a meeting of the board of direc- tors held on the 10th of October 1895, it was voted to issue one hundred and fifty thousand (s15O,O ,OOO) dollars of addi, tional capital stock to be offered to the stockholders at par, at the ratio of one to ten of their present holdings.
 The conditions to subscriptions to this capital stock were fixed as follows:
 Each stockholder is entitled to sub scribe for one share of each ten shares of the stock held by him. In the case of fractions the treasurer of the com pany is authorized to adjust.
 Subscriptions must be received by the treasurer on or before the fifteenth day of November, 1895. The stock not sub scribed for by that date, will be dis posed of by the company as is deemed best
 Payments upon the stock will be as Follows: l.. Fifty per cent. of the amount sub scribed payable on the first of Decem- Der, and 50 per cent payable on the first of March, 1896. The company will issue the stock as of April 1, 1896, and will participate in the April dividend. The proceeds of this stock are to be used in the extension of the plant of the company. It may be of interest to the stockholders to learn that the Ameri- can Bell Telephone company has sub- scribed for it's proportion of the stock to be paid for in cash, and that each member of the board of directors has done the same.
 President Morris F. Tyler of the con- pany said yesterday that the recent i'm provements to the company's plant ne- cessitated the increase in stock.

suffer severely from nervousness, and I can truthfully say that I have found pr. Greene's Nervura an infallible remedy. l was led into using it by see ing it in daily use in the families Of my friends, and I can unhesitatingly recommend it from my own experience to all as a thoroughly reliable remedy for neuralgia and nervous diseases of all kinds"
 It would certainly seem that after such an endorsement by ladysso pop ular and so widely known, no one who suffers in the least from i'll health could hesitate for moment to take her advice and seek the cure which is sure and positive by using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
 It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful liv- ing specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr, Greene, of 35 West 14th street, New York City He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great repu- tation of Dr, Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be consulted by anyone, at any time, free of charge, personally CT by letter, gives absolute assurance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine.
