INDIVIDUAL COMMUNION COPS
DR. Greasy Gives Reasons for Using
the Cups.

DIR. Greasy, pastor of Tryon Street
Methodist church, Charlotte preached
sermon Sunday Mar 3rd on the use of
4he Individual communion cup. DR..
Greasy is the first minister to use in
dividual cups in the State and it has
naturally created quite good deal of
discussion.
His reasons for using the cups were
given in his sermon as follows:
1st. Cleanliness.
This was required under the old
law, ceremoniaIly and literally in
person and the vessels and robes of
service.
There may be hint of this when
the Savior washed the feet of his
disciples at the supper, cleanliness as
well DIS humility and service.
Some one has said, in criticising the
cups, tnat common sense is next to
Gudliness." But while this IS a good
commodity there is the old saying
which will hold good for many a year
YET TO come, that cleanliness is next
to gOdlineess
There are many people, good people,
"ho feel IL their privilege to smoke
and chew and others still TO dip 4"
Inc odor at least clings TO whiskers,
lip and breath, and is transferred to
the cup To many it is SO disagreea ble
That to drink from the cup is a bur-
den, a TASK, Yea cross and sometimes
reaches the ruge Of nausea, So that
communlng, instead of being pleas
ure, becomes TO them an irksome duty,
and but for the fact they cannot make
up their mind to deny their Lord,
tney would not commune at all, and
some do not. But some one is ready
to say, stop these habits and the
trouble is removed But the church
has not seen fit, if she felt sue had the
right TO legislate against them they
are mere, and in good standing. The
cup for each one relieves all round,
and L am sure the users themselves
will be glad that all Can commune and
all enjoy to the utmost this precious
sacrament.
2nd Health
everywhere else, why not here.
Most persons, or great many, pro-
vide cups on the cars.
w men persons are known to be sick
We avoid drinking from the same cup.
The medical world is waking to this
fact.
But some one saws it is of recent
discovery. We know now though
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy
God"
1t is not good taste. We should
not practice at our Lords table.
that which we would not dream of at
our own.
3rd. 1t brings the communion in
closer relations if possible with the
Master, he feels it is for him.
That which will bring the greatest
number of communicates to the altar,
if not wrong, is best. 1t has not kept
one away SO far as l know Others
have come.
ITO insult the flag is to insult the
country. Now we would offer no
insult to the cup by uncleanliness of
disease"
God help us to love him more, honor
him more and serve him better than
we ever have done.

His Brother.

In ,he Trial OF Perry Coffey for Killing
His Brother.
Joseph Roberts is the name Of the
man who was found dead in his
wagon at North Wilkesboro one
morning last week.
The deceased was an important
witness for the State in the murder
trial which is to come up in Wilkes
court this week-Perry Coffey, on the
charge Of numbering his own brother
last fall. COffey killed his brother
with d stick.
The sudden death Of Roberts natur-
ally created sensation, as it was
believed that the man who was to ap-
pear against Coffey had been foully
dealt with by some OF his friends.
Roberts was about Al years old aud
leaves a wife and six children. He
and several of his friends, who were
also witnesses in court, camped at
North Wilkesboro Monday night.
The entire crowd were under the in
fiuence of whiskey and were up the
larger part Of the night.
About 4 o'clock Tuesday morning
Roberts got up, but in a short while
he believed he would go back to bed
and crawled into his wagon. About 2
hours after this he was called to get
up, but made no reply when some one
went to the wagon and shook him. 1t
was soon discovered that he was un-
conscious, If not dead. A physician
was summoned, but the poor man had
breathed his last when the doctor
arrived.
An inquest was held. The doctor
removed the heart of the dead man
and upon examination decided that
death was caused by a hemorrhage
and heart trouble. The coroner's jury
returned d verdict accordingly.

HEIR TO A FORTUNE.
Mrs. Laura B. Crouch. OF Salisbury,
Nmifled of Her Legacy.

From the Salisbury Herald
Mrs. Laura b. Crouch, who has an
interest in the Central Hotel, has re-
ceived a communication from her
aunt, in England, that there is in all
probability comfortable legacy
awaiting her: or at least il will be hers
in the near future. The circumstances
of this fortunate event for Mrs Crouch
are as follows:
a century ago ancestors OF Mrs
Crouch's deceased husband leased a
tract of land in England for 90 years.
Time passed on; other generations
sprang up and the old ones died out.
And this land became the site for d
prosperous and populous city. But
time, as we'll as people and things,
passes away. And so IL happens thaJ
the SO years for which this was leased
has expired, and the claim OF the heirs
has been established, and the proper
ty will probably soon be divided. And
when the division occurs Mrs Crouch's
share will be the snug sum of over d
cool million.
All tIat is necessary now Is for the
validity of her claim to be proven,
which can and will be easily done.

Early Planting.

An exchange says: "Our reasons
for urging early planting OF all seeds
is because we have learned, both by
experience and observation. that the
best vegetables raised are those plant
ed early. We do not mean that all
seeds should be planted in this month,
but just as soon as the season arrives
do not delay even day, If the weather
will permit. La most cases where
these mammoth vegetables. have
taken premiums at the fairs, by IN
qufry we Will find that they were first
planted In hotbeds, ETC., in order that
they might make their growth before
the hot dry weather, that is SO detri-
mental to them"
