Presbyterian Church
Affairs in a Flour
ing State.
Finances I'm Good Condition
Board or Trustees and other Oficers
Elected for the Ensuing Year
Rev. stalker Presides.

The annual meeting Of the Presbyter
ian church was held in the auditorium o
the church on Monday evening. Ther'
was large representation OF the mem
bersbip and adherents OF the church il
attendance and the greatest interest was
manifested in the proceedings.
The pastor, Rev, Daniel Stalker, pre-
sided and the secretary OF the board oil
trustees acted as clerk OF the meeting.
Very gratifying reports OF the work done
during the year were read by the various
officers of the church and the various or
CARNATIONS connected with it, The past
year has been a most prosperous one and
shows a eoodly increase in the work OF
the church.
The financial reports were especially
satisfactory. The report shows the total
receipts from the church proper to have
been $3,S9S and theexpenditures 50, 213,
leaving balance on hand OF 1854. Be-
sides this the sunday School receipts
amounted to S217, the Ladies Mission
airy society $171, the Young Peoples
society s161, and the Mission Band SIS
so that the total receipts would amount
to something like $4,515.
These figures do not show what has
been given to benevolences and to differ
ent funds which the church has contrib
uted toward during the year and which
would amount to something like $500 |
more.
The contract for the completion OF the |
basement OF the church was given to |
Corlett Brothers for SLIPS. To meet |
this 1919 has already been paid in, and |
1888 more has been promised, 80 that
the balance OF 1892 can be easily raised. |

year resulted az follows:

lev, Charles McClelland All for a term OF
three years.

p ID. Matheson.

An act of thoughtfulness on the part
of an old negro woman for the COM
fort of Mrs. Mckinley has secured her
a much coveted position on the White
house kitchen staff. On the first day
Of the peace jubilee the thermometer
was very low, the air was damp, and
the ladies of the presidential party
very dubious about participating in the
floral parade.
Mrs. Mckinley was 10th to expose
herself, but not wishing to disappoint
those who had reckoned on her ap-
pearance, braved the chill and rode out
in an open carriage. Her eQuipage
had just passed under the jubilee arch
and was compelled to stop for a few
moments on account Of the crush, when
a colored woman, known Us Aunt Mar

with a bundle in her hands. Going
straight up to the presidential carriage
she said to Mrs. Mckinley: "Missus,

The Jones County Road Tax
Pollocksville, N. c., December Is

Editors Messenger:
In advising the incoming general as
sembly, won't you please help the lit
tie county Of Jones. For four pears we
have been paying a road tax of Is cents
on the 800 to have our roads worked
and for it we have got nothing but
mud. In the first combination legis-
lature our member, a new man, with
the help of r. P. Williams, Of Craven,
got a bill through calling for a vote in
the counties of Craven and Jones as to
working the roads by labor or taxa
ton. Williams being an old sinner
and really in favor of the people who
pay the taxes, so worded the act ap-
plying to Craven county that the city
of New Bern should pay the tax, but
not be entitled to vote, that the vote
in that county was light and in favor
Of the tax payers and working the road
by labor.
But Jones county was carried the
other way. 1t may appear fair THAT
the tai payers owning the most horses
and wagons ought to keep UP the roads
but when you consider we get nothing
out of these road workers but that lit
tie bit of work and almost no taxes
it was not really hard upon them, as
sons had to work as well as the
others.
This should be a legislature of tax
payers and it should only be necessary
to call their attention to this matter
to have them give the county of Jones
the proper relief; that is, repeal the
law, reinstate the old one to take eff
feet Immediately.
Our new board of commissioners are
of the combination order and against
the tax payers; so no petition will be
sent up by them. Hoping you will
help us.
l am yours for the tax payers,
JOHN PEARCE.

would look ut them whlmslcally, with
quaint smile playing over his black
lips. and say: "Oh, Jess tells" And
that was the only explanation old An.
drew Jackson Henderson ever gave Of
the strange gift he possessed.
He was born In Tennessee ffty-four
years ago, and his boyhood was spent in
slavery. When the Union army march.
ed through his native State he was
picked up by a Union officer named
Cox, who made him his personal ser.
want. After the close Of the war Cox
returned to GAINESVILLE and was accom-.
panied by Andy. The negro married
and prospered. Everybody In Zanes'
vile knew him. Several years ago he
accidentally discovered that he was
able to tell the time at any hour OF the
day or night by simply placing his
hand to his ear. Thousands OF times
he demonstrated his ability to do this
much to the delight of the children and
the wonderment Of their elders. Jus,
as the sun was going down on last
Christmas Day old Uncle Andy died as
the result Of n paralytic stroke, and
with him died the knowledge Of the Sc
cret of the human timepiece.
