North Carolina continues 10 SUI piiee
tha world by such books as this history.
There is a general lmnressloli IA. out a.
ont the United States, particularly at Inc
Norti,. that North Carolina has no ms
tory. that it has been a somnolent state
settled by stra gglers from Virginia ana
South Carolina; and yet, now lnat sthe
old North state is turning out men OF
letters the world is being forced 70

This history of the Unitas fratrum, or
Morayian Church in North Carolina, from
1872 to 1902, extracted from the original
German and English manuscripts and
records preserved in the archives or Sa-
lem. is a revelation. The value OIL the
rich historical material contained IN
these papers cannot be overestimated as
3. means of placing the State and the
Church, that are concerned. IN tneEr prop
er place in history and literature
The story of this early Ecclesiastical
settlement on the then Indian frontier
of North Carolina, now beautiful Win
ston-Salern. is a valuable and scholarly
contribution to history, Of importance
not only to Moravians everywhere out
also to all who are interested in colonl-
alton and government.

have been published at an opportune
moment when the price of meats is imi-

meat diet for the cooling and easily pre-

the book of value to every housekeeper,
irrespective of her food creed

Mr.. Hays speech IS a model of modern
oratory-not indulging in eXtravaga giant
eulogy or ill-starred flights of rhetoric
but paying a: tender tribute at once mod
crate, lofty and inspiring. It should be
read by every earnest man who desires
SO to live as to prove a blessing to his
country. This is the exclusive and auth
orized public printing of Mr.. Hays adj
dress, corrected in proof by him person
ally.
Tt was n memorable and historic occa-
sion wien the Secretary of State rose to
deliver his memorial address to the mem
DRY of William Mckinley. AT the Cap
itol. the officers of government. both
Houses of Congress and thu. rotion's
guest Prince Henry of Prussia. had as
senbled to pay the national tribute of
respect to the martyred President. The
hour demanded q fitting message, and
tie orator OF the day proved equal to the
demand.
