Saint Paul described himself as an
ambassador in chains" He was con-
fined in prison in the great city of
Rome. It was while so confined that
he did so much Of his precious, invalu-
able work with his inspired pen. The
venerable and most useful Rev. DR..
Theodore Cuyler says hat she wrote
out Of his thirteen undisputed
epistles while he was the prison chap
lain under the eye Of Nero's jailers.
One Of these was the letter TO Philippi.
which is the epistle Of gratitude for d.
vine mercies and of exuItant joy under
sharp Affections. If the cages of birds
are sometimes covered up in order to
make them sing, the old hero was Gag
ed to furnish to the world one Of its
most melodious epics Of sublime faith
in Jesus"

tie Thornton, the charming and &C
complished daughters of Fayetteville's
merchant prince, Mr.. F. w. Thornton,
gave a delightful reception at their
home on Anderson street, in honor of
Miss Nicholson, Of Vicksburg, Miss,
who has been their guest for several
weeks.
There are few houses anywhere in
this section more beautifully furnished
than Mr.. Thornton's, and he and his
daughters make ideal hosts. A large
company Of society people in our good
old town thronged his hospitable par
lors, the whole lower floor being thrown
open to the guests. Sweets and salads
in lavish abundance and served an
regle were offered during the evening,
while delightful music refreshed the
ear
A few nights previous the daughters
of Mr.. G.. A. Thomson gave a smart
entertainment at their home on Green
street. So you will see that neither
war nor dull times can quite repress
the social disposition of this old-timc
community.
By the way, now that the war is
over and the Holt and Holt-Wiliiam-
son factories and Mr.. Pemberton's
hosiery factory have been added Ia
our numerous other industries, il il
confidently believed that Fayetteville
will take on new life and regain her
old place as one of the leading com
mercial and industrial communities in
the state.

been finally settled and its
explicitly and definitely authorized.
h government is now considering the
domestic situation for the best means
OF allaying the excitement and pro-

lows:
THE government is of the opinion
that the most critical period of The
peace negotiations has now arrived. as
it depends upon the arrangement of
details as to whether the peace will
be more or less advantageous. Spain
wishes to preserve her sovereignty
over the whole of the Philippines. to
which she proposes to accord all DO
litical and administrative reforms con-
sistent with the maintenance OF her
sovereignty.
In regard to the evacuation Of Cuba
and Porto Rico, it will be asked that
the army be allowed to depart honor
ably and that assurances be given.
guaranteeing that Spanish and foreign
interests will not suffer. The army
which has not been conquered, will
return to Spain with it's guns, arms
and munitions.
I'm regard to the Cuban debt, as the
United States refuses to assume it,
Spain will endeavor to arrange with
the Cuban treasury to pay it when the
island is able.

merce will lead to considerable dis
cussion, and the matter will be sub
mitted to a commission of diplomat
lists, under the presidency Of Senior
