this TALL month, was unusually hot,
and many were reminded of those
June scorchers Notwithstanding the
immense pressure of heat our church
as were well attended.
At the Moore Street Church, Rev.
2 ;. Lewis preached an excellent SER
mon last Sunday morning. He dwelt
on the Holy Spirit being among mer.
The services at most of the other
churches were conductt by their pas
tors.
The marriage of Miss Maria Tra'vers
of this section to Mr.. William G.. Clai-
borne Of Norfolk took place at Norfolk
August 30th. We wish them success.
NO ARGUMENT ON SOCIAL CLUBS.
1t seems that our Church Hill con-
temporary has been eating green
peaches and chewing sour grass all the
summer and thinks the world is all
green; for he blasted off over col
umn of nonsense and tom foolery last
week and called it an argument.
His FIRST supposed agitation of the
social question consisted of a success
sion OF astounding, diabolical and
quibbiing statements which fell upon
tile peoples ear like repeated bursts OF
| appalling lthunder. Before sOur peo-
Pies mind could be rid of such shock
/ ing exaggeration, which could emf
nate only from the idiotic Uranium of
a pre- JUDGED deposed socialist, he
/ again drafts CH a confused mass OF de-
ceptions and mudslinging arguments
which n fanatic could well withhold.
HIS SUBJECT A FtKE.
To blind the ideas of our readers. he
/ throws out subject with which ne
has done nothing more than mention
His subject was Are social clubs con-
ducive TO the Negroes welfare ?" This
rs truly fake for he has neither ar
gutd it pro nor con; but rather made
US his subject by attempting to de-
scribe Is. ----
We do not see snynecessity to argue
the question since he has done MOI IL
ing, Dut we wiu point you TO the out
growth of one or two of ouc social
clubs. We do not exaggerate when we
tell you that one OF the finest lodges
of one of the grandest orders in the
state and country eminated from a So
lcial club. It now stands high in the
community and owns a hall in which
it's and other meetings are held
But this gentleman doesn't call this
advancement. Then we can relate an
instance where a club of young ladies
carry with their social relation, a sew.
ing circle; the former having prompt.
ed the latter. We also anticipate
some great good from many others
SAW LIKE HE.
We will admit that we saw as he
docs (Jo the end of the nose) anC
thought that social clubs meant TO be
come dissipated and make elaborate
displays; but when we looked furthei
we saw moral men and women carry
ing out what we thought TO abe tn,
very meaning of the word, we wer,
forced to approve of social relation
ship as one of the endowments Of man
kind.
WHAT is HE?
> Notwith standing he as been dis
! lplaying such a would be- gallant figh
iagainst social clubs. the question is
what is he ? We are reliably inform
ed that he was turned out of a sOca
! club in his community yet he tell
: Iyou that he saw his error and cam
2 lout.
Again, it has been only the expira
h tion of a few months when he attend
ed the outings of social cub, and af
ter returning wrote it up, raising then
+ to the skies. But you can see this d.
not work his Reinstatement, hence b
: Ibegan to pour out his prejudicial ven
2 IgeAnce upon all.
: Now readers to say that he is hyT
+ Iocrit, prevaricator, q quibbler and
il ldeposed socialist would be haDdhn
! him lightly.
, MANHOOD AT LOW EEB.
This gentleman claims that he po,
Isesses the true elements manhood an
a calls on the pubic TO decide of whic
q we have no objection But let us fir:
4 tell you what he calls manhood. Hel
a lit is: one who when he is turned CT

N pubIlc against ali of them by bearir
! false reports, one who slings mud ar
,t calls it an argument When manhoC

low ebb.
