Our esteemed friend Mr. N. H.
Gurley attended Union Meeting
in Johnston county last Sunday,

a high regard for Primitive Bap-
fists.

where he is, for he Is an unusual
~ gifted writer, "to the manner
born"
Alex. Bryant, a faithful old dar-
key of ante bellum type, has of
late years developed considerable
religious propensities. We were
questioning him in regard to his
spiritual growth, and asked him
if he ever gave way to his anxiety
to see his race christianized, and
prayed IN public or preached the
gospel. He replied: 'sWaal, no,
sir, not 'zactly what yer calls
p~reachin' but I zausts (exhorts)
er little sometimes"
Well, we are up several points
this week, and everything is
again "calm and SERENE" and
home looks like itself, despite the
chilling winds which have Invested
our stately oaks of their bright
foliage, and exposed their bare
limbs. Mrs. "K." and children have
returned, the hens are trying to
lay two eggs a dsy now, and we
are getting three meals a day, in
place of three a week, as hereto
fore; If we had. had to have
ssbached' one week longer, we
are satisfied we would have gone

has at last secured the fortune which
he has been ende1voring to get ever
since his aunt, a rich English lady,
died seven years ago. It has bsen est
mated that the estate is worth five
million dollars, besides family jewels
valued at half a million dollars.
Mr.. Wright was seen at the little
country station CT He,easville, where
he is agent, and confirmed the report
that he had proved his title to his
share of the estate. He said there
were three heirs, himself and two
uncles. He said that the uncles were
connected with one of the largest firms
IN the country. but would not give
their names. When asked how much
money he would get. Mr.. Wright re-
fused TO tell. but minated that it wcs
a good round sum. His head has not
been turned by his good fortune, and
ne says he viii continue TO perform
his duties as station agent at Helens-
vile for some time yet.
Wright is not his real name. His
actual name is Don Raz3za, and his
father was a Sp3niard. HIS grand
