its efficacy in diseases OF nervous

TWO STRONG SERMONS.
PROF. A. III. MERRITT AT CEN
aENARY CHURCH.
A Practical Discourse to the Fpwort b
League-A Plea for More AEgres-
sive ORGANIZED work-Fine Sing
ing by Miss Antoinette Glenn.

The pulpit at Centenary Church
was occupied Sunday morning and
night by Prof. A. Ii. Merritt, of the
Chair of Latin and German in Trinity
College, Durham. n. G.
The morning sermon was special
one delivered before the Epworth
League, and stronger and more
practical discourse we have not heard
recently. Prof. Merritt is not only
polished scholar, but deep, practical
thinker. His sermon was a plea for
more aggressive organized work by
every member, both of the Church
and League, and was so interspersed
with philosophy and strong, practical
reasoning that it created d profound
Impression upon the large congrega-
tiOn present.
The sermon at night was preached
from the text "Follow me and I will
make you fishers of men," and was
equally as impressive as the morn
ing discourse. His plea for following
Christ in the higher realms of thought
and literature was especially fine.
The Centenary League is taking on
new life and energy, and promises to
do great work in the near future.
Prof. Merritt made a strong talk on
methods of work before the League at
3 D. M, and much interest was mani
tested.
The regular devotional exercises
will be held this evening, after which
the League will go into business
meeting.
Prof. Merritt left this morning for
Durham. He may be assured of
hearty welcome when he comes
again.
The congregation at each service
yesterday was delighted with the fine
singing of Miss AnLoinebte Glenn, who
consented to give a solo at each SER
vice. besides assisting in the general
hymns. Miss Glenn is the pussess0r
of strong. clear voice, which has
been made more charming by cultiva
tion, and our people generally take
pride in the success which she is
achieving in the enhancing realm OF
song.

Two Unusual Things.

In the course of trip almost from
one end OF the State to the other Col.
Olds, of Raleigh, says he found two
things which are unsual, and both
due to the drought. One was the
death of many trees, nearly all oaks
on clay lands, and but few of these of
any considerable size, and the absence
of any fresh plowed lands. Why the
oaks on the sandy lands stood the
drought and intense heatjbetter than
those on clay soils is hard question
to answer. The water supply in sthe
sandy sections is claimed to have been
more regular than elsewhere. What
will be the acreage of fall-sown grain
is as yet problematical, for as yet
none has been put liz the ground. In
the mountains, both the trees and
the crops stood the drought better
than elsewhere.

sam, and He Should do Something
in Return for Us-A Powerful
Argument in Our Favor.
The annual report of Mr.. E G. Ed
munds, president of the Winston To-
bacco Association, contains some in
teresting figures relative to the tax
on manufactured tobacco paid in this
city. For the tobacco year 1S94-'95,
from October l to September 80, in
ternal revenue stamps to the amount
of $3.50, 800 p were bought here, an
increase of $50, S45 SO over the previous
twelve months, and for the last eight
years the purchases aggregated So
470,04 %.
This is doing handsomely by Uncle
Sam, and he should do something in
return for US. 1t is shame that Win
ston is without a fine Federal build
ing, when smaller and less deserving
towns have long had costly United
States structures. We should get an
appropriation of at least quarter of
million dollars from the next Con
gress.
As the Tobacco Journal truly says,
here is work that should receive the
attention of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Tobacco Association
the approaching winter. These two
organizations should get together,
plan a campaign and put in their
hardest, most earnest, best work. Our
internal revenue and our postal re-
ceipts combined furnish a powerful
argument, and with proper effort
success can be achieved at the coming
session. Such slip ups as to have the
appropriation bill almost through
and fail through some one being be-
hind time, should be guarded against
this time. We must make up our
minds that we will have a Federal
building, and we shall get it.

Rev. DR.. d. Fl. futile preached a SER

that the church as organized has not

LIVELY FIGHT AT THE DEPOT.
Walter Whitett We. Henrietta G ELMER
Lost Both Coats.

There was an amusing scene at the
n. and w. depot last Monday. Walter
Whitett, colored, bought a ticket to
take a trip up the road. Henrietta
Gilmer, dark complicated ''damsel,"
was there to see that Whitett did not
leave. She claimed that he was due
her some money for work.
After lively quarrel tie two came
to blows and the decision of the spec
tators was that the female was the
winner. Whitett managed to board
the train just as it pulled out, but he
left minus his overcoat and under
coat. Henrietta pulled them off and
She kept them. She went up the rail
road track popping her fists and
shaking them at the train which car
ried Waiter away.
The woman has had a warrant is
sued to have Whitett brought back
here for trial.

pANv1LLEs TOBACCO MARKET
The Registers Review for the Week
Ending Oct. 14th.

There was right much animation on
the loose leaf tobacco market during
the week ending Saturday. Double
sales lasted up to dinner holr each
day. Most of the tobacco sold was
bright goods and came from North
and South Carolina. There was
sprinkling of tobacco from the coun-
try around Danville, and consisted
principally of bright goods. Prices on
all grades were well up and are high,
while the market shows no signs of
weakening.
The continued dry, harsh weather,
keeps the farmer from handling his
tobacco in the barns and no large
breaks are looked for until there shall
be u good season for handling the leaf.
Manufacturers had a tolerably fair
week, the aggregate shipments OF
plug and twist amounting to lis $40
pounds The daily sales of revenue
stamps aggregated Sc 932 9S.
