AT ELM STREET.
A Very Instructive and Pleasant Oc-
casion,


casion.
The Missionary meeting at Elm
Street church, on Saturday evening,
proved to be a very instructive as
well as pleasant occasion. 1t was
opened with song service, hymns of
a missionary character being used
with good effect. The large congre-
fiation present sang with spirit and
understanding.
After prayer and the reading of
the lesson for the evening, Hebrews
12:1-l3, touching the topic "Hardships
for Christ's sake" and an anthem by
Bostick gave a recitation.
Rev. A. ID. Th8ler then introduced
the mission field of the West Indies
with description of the Islands,
geographically and physically, draw
ing attention to the fact that the
name "West Indies" was given by Co.
lumbus on his voyage of discovery
because Of his belief that he had sail
ed entirely around the world and had
touched the eastern shores of India.
The introduction of negro slaves, in
place Of the Indian tribes that were
being extermlnated, the climate, veg
citation, and the cultivation of coffee,
cocoa and sugar cane were all dealt
upon in greater or less detail
Miss Bertha Bailey also read a
paper upon the tourney of the first
two missionaries to these negro slaves
on the island of ST. Thomas, and
their experiences.
After another selection by mixed
quartette, by Misses Tesh and Setliff
and Messrs. Pfaff and Stockton, Rev.
So L. Th8ler made an address
upon the stations of the Moravian
church in both provinces of the mis-
sion, the Eastern, comprising seven
islands. and the Western, comprising
twentysix stations in the island Of
Jamaica alone. AS each island was
| taken in turn the stations were de-
scribed, and the speaker then told of
the founding of the now successful
| mission in the large island Of Trini-
dad. After a solo by Miss Minnie
Tesh and the hymn :'From Green
| lands Icy Mountains" during which a
| collection was taken up, the meeting
closed with the Mizpah watchword.
1t is planned some time IN the near
| future to spend another evening
studying the daily life of the mission
| aries here and illustrated with sciop-
ticOn pictures.

Wilkes County.
Mr.. L. N. Hickerson, a young law
yer of North Wilkesboro, passed
through the city Saturday on his re-
turn home from business trip. He
says that the deputy marshals are
playing havoc with the distillers in
his county. AS has been the case in
Rowan and Davidson county nearly
every distiller in Wilkes has had a
warrant served on him for some
alleged violation of the law OR some
assessment levied years ago. The
bondsmen:of distillers are also COM
ing in for their share of trouble, as
whenever the distiller himself is in
solvent the bondsmen are called upon.
Mr.. Hickerson says that this action
will prove very nurtful to the Repub-
