A High Compliment Paid Centenary's
New Pastor.
The Charlotte Methodist prints the
following concerning Rev. DR.. Greasy,
the new pastor of Centenary church,
this city:
"Many will feel that one whose
place will be hard to fill has gone
when DR.. Greasy takes his departure
from Charlotte. His work in Char
lotte, as elsewhere, has been success
full. Nearly 300 have been added to
the membership of the church, the
church completed, most of the in
debtedness paid or subscribed, an
organ, the best in the city, put in The
church-in short, everything improv-
ed. The congregation built up much
when the church was completed, and
has held up. We hear the people
speaking Of his splendid SER
mons during the past few weeks. In
spite of four years drawing on his
resources and the Affections in his
family this year, his sermons are
fresh and hold the people. The DIR.
is one OF the most gifted men we have
ever known. On hard circuits he was
most successful, and every station he
has served has, during his pastorate,
had great success.
s"fhe place that gets him will be an
exception II Ii don't have q rapid

of Mr.. Brady, many of whom
live in this State, have constituted

They allege want of mental capacity
in him to make such contracts. The
case is now pending in California to

to set aside the deed. AS no trustee
was named in the deed, the Grand

TINEY SMITH. OF STOKES.
He Drew a Pistol on Ticket-Ag gent M
InalI-Disf1 cured.

InalI-Disf1gured.
From Daily Sentinel Dec. 4th.
Considerable excitement was created
on Liberty street last night, about
9:25 o'clock, when Tiney Smith, an in
toxicated farmer from Stokes county,
drew pistol on Ticket-agent McInall,
of the African Wonder museum, and,
with several oaths, threatened his
life.
Smith first visited the museum
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
aud was admitted free Of charge. He
returned shortly afterward, accCmpa.
MED by several OF his farmer friends
After he left he began to pay periodi-
Cal visits to the bar-room, until he
became beastly drunk, then visited
the museum once more, this time be-
ing accompanied by several friends
also. He was admitted each time
free OF charge. Last night he again
went to the museum, when the man
who was handling the tickets aud So
liciting patronage informed him that
he would have to purchase ticket.
He refused and forced his way inside
and began cursing and abusing the
colored pianist. Mr.. McInall inform
ed him that he would have to aban-
don the use of such obscene language,
and the agent asked him to retire
from the building. He did so, but as
he left he whipped out a shining
revolver and threatened to kill the
agent. Mr.. McInaIl made jump at
him and landed tremendous blow
between the eyes, breaking his nose
and disf1guring his face in general.
The wounded man lay writhing In
agony, with blood flowing freely from
his nose and mouth, until he was re-
moved to Browns warehouse, where
he was attended by Drs. Dalton and
Hamlin.
Ticket-agent McInall was arrested
soon afterward and released from Gus
tody on his own recogniZance until
this morning.
LATER.-Since the above was put in
type it is learned that Smith left
town at al early hour this morning.
His injuries are not as serious as at
first supposed. He was afraid of be-
ing arrested for carrying concealed
weapon.

Columbian Heiehts-what the
Institution il Doing.
Prof. S. G.. Atkins, President of the
Slater Industrial Academy and State
Normal School, for the colored race,
located on columbian Heights" is in
receipt of very kind letter from
Prof. John q. Scarborough, State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction.
The latter says:
ut affords me much pleasure to in
form you that your schC oil will receive
from the Peabody Fund, for the pay
ment OF teachers salaries in the
normal department of said school, for
the school year Of 1895-'96, the sum of
$3.50. Check for this amount will be
sent to the treasurer of your school
when received from DR.. Curry, general
agent of the Peabody Fund"
1t was especially through President
Atkins efforts that the school secured
the 81 900 appropriation from the
Legislature, This $3.50 from The Pea
body Fund is also the result of Prof
Atkins personal appeal to DR.. Curry.
His purpose has been and is to secure
enough money to pay the teachers
without using the money collected by
the agents North. This money thus
collected will be used mainly in devel-
opment in buildings, etc
Profs. j. S. Hill and S. j. Crews are
doing yeOman service now in this di-
,tion at the North.
President Atkins feels that all this
success is largely In view of the CO
operation OF the public-spirited white
citizens on the Board of Trustees and
out of 1t, together with the cordial
aid of the newspapers of the city.
The Institution has four f1rsu-cldss
teachers and 13O hard-working pupils
The industrial work OF the Academy
Is becoming an important factor OF
the work. AS an indication of this
it will be interesting to note that the
sewing department. of the Academy,
in charge of Miss Sarah @. Johnson,
the preceptress, has just been award
ed bronze medal for the excellence
of its exhibit at the Cotton States
and International Exposition, at At
lanta. These medals are few and far
between and to receive one is great
honor to the Academy.
The shoemaking department will be
opened the first of January.

Brother and SISTER Married.

There was a marriage at Chestnut
Hill, Rowan county, on Dec. 1st, In
which brother and sister, by afflni-
ty, were married. The contracting
parties were Miss Prudy Hopkins and
Mr.. John Pennington. The Salisbury
World says the brides father and
the groOm's mother are husband ahd
wife, each having been married the
second time. Hence the young folks
are step-brother and sister. So by
marrying her step-brother the bride
becomes her own sister-in-law and
the daughter-in-law of her own father
and the groom becomes his own
brother and the step-son- -in-law of his
mother. Until this taLgle is un-
weaYed we will not trace the relation
ship any farther.

DID HE FREEZE TO DEATH?
Robt. Watkins, White. Found Dead
in His Wagon.

Robt. Watkins, White, Found Dead
in His Wagon.
Robt. Watkins, white man, was
found dead near Haymeadow. Wilkes
county, several days ago. Some think
he froze to death while others contend
that new brandy was "the cause of it
ALL"
Watkins bad been over the noun
tains with load Of produce and was
returning home. He had been drink
ing heavily.
Some time during the night he
drove up to his brothers house, Shaw
Watkins, who lives near HaymeadOw.
They heard the wagon, but supposed
it was some one passing and paid no
attention to it. Next morning they
were very much surprised to see the
team standing near the house, and on
investigation found Bob cold in death.
He was sitting with his legs crossed,
leaning against the side of the wagon
bed, with his head resting in the palm
of his hand. The mules had broken
the tongue out of the wagon and had
turned around and were eating hay
from the front end of the wagon. 1t
is supposed that he was too drunk to
note passing events, and, as the night
was bitterly cold, thus froze to death.
Watkins was q years old and leaves
q family.

1.-THE large cities are now said to be
swarming with bogus commission
firms organized to swindle farmers
and country merchants out of their
produce. Farmers should be careful
who they ship any kind o. produce to

dealing with responsible firms. It
will pay the farmer nine times out of

The Distinguished Rock IsIander Cred =
tied With Culinery Genius.
The Washington Star has the fol-
lowing interesting bit OF information
concerning Rock Islands well known
citizsn. Hon. Ben T. Cable:
"Ben T. Cable. late representative
from the Rock Island district, Illi-
nois. with all his money and his
business interests, finds time to be
the best cook of the Alibi club. an
organization based on the chatting
dish and what may be done with it.
and where every member has his
cooks cap and apron. and does daily
such deeds with his stewpan or
skillet as to his appetite seem best
and meet. Cable is by odds the best
cook OF the club, and when he dons
cap and apron the rest gather about
the Cable chatting dish to observe
the art of cooking in its highest de.
velopment.
whenever Cables business or
pleasure took him abroad he made
it point to discover new dishes and
how to compound them. H.now
does food miracles in Spanish, Ital-
ian, French, Scotch, Irish, German
and Russian. At odd hours in Rock
Island, Cable has bestowed much
pains and kitchen learning upon a
crack restaurant keeper of that burg,
and taught that lucky person many
mysteries.
Stewpan Skill.
H"Cable is much looked up to and
admired by the restaurant man for
his stew-pan skill. Recently sun
dry citizens of Rock Island, Star
writer was told, were refreshing
themselves at this hostelry. The
restaurant man was looking to their
wants in person. Cable was not
present. and the talk happened to
turn on young men who are bern
rich. one OF the gentlemen said that
it was generally great misfortune to
a young man to be wealthy at the
start.
"'If he should lose it, quoth the
philosopher, there is nothing he can
turn to. Rich young men, undriven
by need, seldom, il ever, learn either
trade or profession. When they lose
their money they arc helpless. Now,
take Cable. for example. with all his
energy. and know-how, and 60; il he
