THU; PILGRIMAGE.
Annual Pilgrimage Of Colonial Danes
to St. Philips Church.. Will Take
Place Tuesday.

For The Messenger.
With reference to the annual pill
primage of the North Carolina Society
of the Colonial Danes to Old Bruins :.
wick and st. Phillips church, to which
all of our citizens are cordially invited,
it may be well to inform our inhab:-
tants as to the aim and purpose Of
these excellent wOmen who are Actual
eG by the patriotic motive of rescuing
from decay and utter oblivion the fast
failing records and relics which tell of
noble deeds in years gone by.
In this strenuous age of unprecedent-
ed development there appears to be lit
tie veneration for the pioneers who. es-
tabliished this colony, "amid the dan
gers of the wilderness and the war
whOop of the savage" Nor for the
statesmen who upheld the principles of
the Declaration of independence. Nor
for the soldiers who yielded their lives
i'll order that these principles might be
maintained.
Many of the neglected and forgotten
graves of the heroes Of the Revolution
have been desecrated by unhOIy hands.
Ear many years the Wondering dust Of
one OF the braveSt and the best of
North Cardinals son has been pro-
faned by ruthless hands and the spe-
cial feature of the present pilgrimage
will be the reinterment in the old grave
yard of st. Philips church, all that IS
1anffo1 nf ISt,s1f T,&:4z .-1
The noble sentiment of Rasselas
should find a Judgment still in the
hearts of Il people. Il honor the
ipureis which overshadow the graves
OF u fathers"
BY the courtesy of the commanding
officer of Fort Caswell the garrison
band will furnish the music for the DC
easfon and these musicians. as we'll as
the officers and their wives will be the
guests of the Society. All others at
tending are expected to bring their
luncheon, as no refreshments will be
sold on the grounds. There is no adj
mission fee to Old Brunswick. the only
expense being the charge of the steam
er Wilmington, of 30 cents for the
round trip and % cents for school chill
dren. An abundant supply of pure
clstern water has been provided and
rustic seats beneath wide spreading
trees afford "a boundless contiguity of
shade"
The steamer Wilmington will leave
her dock, in Wilmington, at 10 O'Clock
III the morning a half hour later than
her schedule, Tuesday, May End. and
VIII leave Old Brunswick wharf which
is Il few hundred yards from the
church, at a seasOnable time i'm the af.
