GIVE WAY TO NEW BUILDING.
Last Entertainment in Old Presbyterian
Sunday School Room

The old order dhangpth and giyeth
place to the new And God fulhlls himself
In many ways"
Last night, the old year slipped from
us, and as ii was passing the members
of the Presbyterian church. with their
friends, met to spend one more happy
evening together in the dear little room
which, in another week, must be removed
70 give place for the larger and more
complete building demanded by the pro-
gress OF the times 1t was a happy
thought of the president of the Young
Ladies' Auxiliary that thus once again
the old and young should meet in the
place where more than two generations
have remembered their Crea tor in the
days of their youth. And young and
old were there. ''Three score and ten"
clasped hands with merry-hearted sweet
sixteens, and the broken voice Of age
blended well with the glad laughter and
happy song of youth. lie those could
look backward to the hallOwed room now
going, these could look forward to another
now coming; the one, a holy memory
the other, an equally holy hope And SO,
all rejOiced together. The 0ld-time
quilting" sped along as lovely maidens,
in old-time matronly attire, bent over the
frame and deftly piled the needle.
Ben. Lacy, Jr., always in demand for
his eloquence, and never falling below
the mark, was the orator Of the evening
Master Necdham Broughton and fair
little Miss Edgerton in Appropriate Orien-
tad costume, mingled Mohammedan-Tu
key with Christmas turkey until every
body ''gobbIed" hand-clapping applause.
Mrs Hamilton rendered one OF her
sweetest songs and Miss Annie Mitchell
one Of her funniest recitations. Light
refreshments passed from hand to hand
and from hand to mouth-to mouth of
course And just when all eyes were
flashing with enthusiastic delight and
the Oldest living members Of the church
were catching the flying joy2 OF the
generation soon to take their places, there
was a sound Of "a fire-bell in the night"
a pell-mell rushing forth of all the young
people, soon followed by the older-and
that was the last Of the last social even
ing in the dear little Sabbath school room
of the First Presbyterian church. The
next will be held in the new building

Dinner and Good Cheer.

Dinner and Good Cheer
There was yesterday afternoon i'm the
Fayetteville street Baptist church gath
ering Of a kind that kindly people love
to look upon.
There were two long tables set with
plates for seventy five people, and every
scat was occupied. The table was bonn
tifully supplied with a toOthsome and sub
stantial dinner.
The guests Of honor were nearly three
score old women to whom the offering
came with cheer
The dinner was given under the aus
pices of the Young Ladies' Missionary
Society of which Miss Susie Heck is
president.
Mr.. John Pullen was in charge of the
programme having, too, been a large con-
trlbutOr in money and otherwise toward
its success.
Among others who were present and
ministering to the comfort and pleasure
of the guests were noticed Revs Drs.
skinner Carter and Simms, and city Mis-
sionary Belts Mrs DOdd, Mrs Hayes,
Mrs. Heck, Miss Fannie Heck, Miss
EVE Thomas, Miss Susan Clark, Miss
Loula Riddle.
A cordial and generous hour was spent
during the NEAL after which there were
pleasant exercises. Warm and appro-
PIRATE addresses were made by Mr.. Pull
lem, Drs. Garter, Simms and Skinner in
the order named, followed by Mr.. Belts.
These good old people had been brought
cNl g al
gard to creed, the chief desire being to
carry warm welcome to those that cray
Ell it. The bus of the Park Hotel was
used to convey them there and back to
their homes, and in the best sense, it
was a love-feast Of a kind that unhappily
is all too scarce in a world where the poor

Last Tuesday was election day in
many OF the states and municipal
tiles. Everywhere he returns result
ed in defeat or great losses TO the
Republicans. This is significant,
especially at this time when Mark
Hanna's bureau of information and
educ alton claims that business is
everywhere improving owing to the
return of confidence and prosper ity.
True the contest i'll Greater New
York was not on National issues, but
the election in many of the states
was conducted on National issues.
Tbs was true in Kentucky, Nebraska
and Virginia, al OF which went demo
cratic, whiie in Maryland, Iowa and
other states, the large republican
majorities were almost wholly wiped
out. But notwithstanding all
this, what is to be said of Ohio, Mark
Hanna's own state, where the power
OF the whole United States govern
nent was brought TO bear, SO to
speak, upon the voters to save this
mighty boss of the bosses, Mark
Hanna. 1t is probably true that
Hanna's senatorial scalp has been
saved by a hairs breadth, but at an
awful cost.
Such a condition of things abroad
is enough to give the shivers to the
Republican machine in this state
which in one way or another, succeed
ed in killing every good measure
brought before the legislat IRE last
winter. Next year the Republicans
will probably be tumbling over each
other to incorporate many of the
desired reform measures in this state
platform. But will this save party
hat makes platforms before election
only to be repudiaters after election.

Among the many questions which
press themselves Upon the attention
of an ambitious young man or woman,
few are fraught with issues so inn
portant and the results so lasting a 8
that of the requirement or omission
of an advanced course of study. In
this country where opportunities for
self-development are SO abundant,
and where the shaping of ea' h mans
career rests so largely in his own
hands, the question presents itself
with especial force. With the i'll
creasing population OF our country
and the rapid development of every
line Of industry, there has come a
corresponding increase in keenness
and competition. 1t seems fair to
suppose that as the process continues
it will become more and more difficult
to gain foot hold i'll any profitable
empl oyment-that the days OF golden
opportunity for unskilled labor which
characterize the opening up and set
tling of any new country will have
passed forever. When this has come
to pass we may expect that the man
| who has as a foundation a broad
and thorough general education sup
plemented by careful preparation for
some particular line of usefulness will
possess an immense advantage over
the man of limited attachments and
only general experience. Already 1t
is no uncommon spectacle to see u
young man, in his eagerness to engage
in the conflict Of life, neglect the slow
process of preparation and plunge at
once into the struggle only to retire,
baff1ed and defeated. to a smaller
sphere of activity than that for which
his natural talents would have fitted
him, if developed and strengthened
by proper training. OF course, there
are men who have att aimed a good
degree of success in business whose
early education was limited. In the
main, however, these cases merely go
to show how much great natural
talents and indomitable perseverance
will accomplish in spite of disadvan-
,ages, and donot prove hat education
is not requisite to best success in life
Education in it's broadcast sense is a
drawing out-a developing of all

Our attention has been called to
the pitiable condition into which
some of our weekly contemporaries
have been thrown. In one town, or
perhaps city, that supports two such
papers, we have noticed that about
one-halt of the space that properly
belongs to the patrons of the paper
is taken up with the quarrels between
these two editors. What interest
have the people in general with these
nauseating epidemics upon the part
of two individuals? DO the patrons
pay one dollar and a half to each of
the papers merely to have their own
minds and those of their families cor
rupted by the indecent language and
sentiment that is the usual product
of personal squabbles? Such a course
is not in accordance with good
journalism and he editor has no more
business to vent his spleen through
his paper than any other man has.
He is paid for running the paper and
the subject matter should be that
which is of Interest o the readers.

nearly all other universities. Prof.

if we possibly omit that of Chicago

TO that of ours.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are
not patent medicine in the sense that name
implies. They were first compounded as pre-
scription and used as such in general practice
by eminent physician. So great was their
efficacy that it was deemed wise to place them
within the reach of all: They are now manu-
featured by the Dr. Williams Medicine Com
pany, Schenectady, N. Y, and are sold in
boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or
hundred, and the public cautioned against
numerous limitations sold in this shape) at 50
cents box, or six boxes for $780, and may be
had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr.
