OBITUARY.
To the Editor;

To the Editor:
James l.. Woodward died in this city
on Saturday, Sept. 18th, at $50 p. m. af-
ter a brief illness of Brights disease,
aged 80 years. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. DR.. Simms at the
Tabernacle Baptist church on Sunday af-
ternoon at p IN. In the death of Mr..
Woodward this city has lost popular
young man; one that enjoyed the conf
dence and respect of a large circle of
friends-as was evidenced by the large
gathering of people who came to pay the
last tribute to a departed friend. For
some time he has suffered with the dread
disease that ended his young life, endur-
ing his suffering with Christian fortitude
and patience, and when the end came he
was ready for the summons. About one
year ago he rededicated his life to the
Masters service, and united with the
Tabernacle church, always regular in his
attendance upon church and Sunday
school services when health permitted.
Jim has left us, but his record as a Chris
tian still lives-he did what he could to
build up the Masters cause, exemplify-
ing his profession by godly walk and
conversation. A widow and four children
mourn their loss. "Sleep on beloved.
sweetly take thy rest" for thou hast
touched humanity and your life still ling
ers with us.
The following gentlemen acted as pail
bearers and with large number of sor-
rowing friends followed his remains to
rnsse G. Ball, Geo. Lumley,
w. A. Dewar, Henry Allen, J. w. Cheek,
A. III. Monaghan, where the body was
deposited, there to remain until the second
coming of the Lord in His glory.

NOTES FROM DAVIDSON.

Davidson, N. c., Sept 20.--(Sepcal.)- -
The first ten days of college closed with
an enrolment of 1872, about seventy of
these being men. With such a start it
is likely that the catalogue for the SEES
sion of 1S97-'9S will show almost $50
names. The authorities feel that such
a registration evidences ON the one hand
that the finances of the college are in
good condition and at the same time that
the number of students is not so large
that a personal supervision of the
health, morals and religious life of the
young men gathered here has to be neg
lected. 1t is the high claim of the col
lege that at no institution are more re-
ligious influences brought to bear on the
student than here. These influences are
strong from number of causes, among
them the active part taken by the IA
Guilty in the Y. NJ. G. A work and in 9TH
er religious meetings; the prominence Civ
en- to Bible study in the Presidents de-
partment; the fact that almost all of the
students are church members, and fin
ally but not the least important, the
universal popularity of the pastor of
the church here, Rev. A. Il. Graham.
who has such n strong hold on the stu
dent body. AS compared with other col
leges Davidson shows a very large per-
centage Of men studying Greek and La
tin and pursuing the regular A. B.
course. But after two years drill in
Latin and Math., large number
are tempted off to fill out their two last
years in scientific studies. In both
chemistry and physics the courses are
highly developed and look into both

nothing but embryo scientists among
its young men.

PROMPT REFORM OF BODILY
EVILS

The prompt reform of those bodily
evils, enfeebed digestion, incomplete as
sanitation, inactivity of the liver, kid
neys and bladder, as well as of the ner-
vous symptoms which these ailments are
especially prone to beget, is always ac-
complished by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a medicine accredited
by physicians, pronounced pure by anal
ysis, and eminently wholesome and
agreeable Surely such restorative is
preferable to unpalatable and indigesti-
BILE mineral drugs and unsanctioned nos

think so, Judging by the unprecedented
demand for the article from Maine to

A Japanese Convert-Kinsey's Seminary
Opened.

Wilson, n. c., Sept. 20.-(Special.)-
The man who was run over by the
Southern freight, No. Y, at Elm CITY,
Saturday evening, is dead. He was a
white man by the name OF Underwood'
and came from near Fayetteville. he
was attempting to jump the train for the
purpose of stealing ride, when he fell
under the train, his body in the center OF
the track and both legs across the ran.
Both legs were run over and mangied
fearfully. DR.. e. G.. Moore, of Elm City,
and DR.. Albert Anderson, of Wilson, am
putated the limbs, but the shock was so
great that the man died shortly after
the operation was completed.
Rev. A. Ishida, a japanese convert to
Christianity, who will shortly leave to
carry the gospel to his own country,
preached in the Methodist church here
twice on Sunday. His sermons were eX-
ceedingly interesting-flled with much
information in relation to the manners
and customs of the japanese, and very
large audiences greeted him.
Kinsey's Seminary opened last Wednes-
day in the new and elegant buildings
erected for this institution, and the at
tendance of young ladies boarding in the
seminary from other counties is very
large-over fifty already in attendance.
