preached a missionary sermon in
the Baptist church Sunday morn

a stirring lecture Oh the temper
ance question in the Presbyteria II

service the following resolutions
we're almost unanimously adopted.
Whereas we, the citizens of
Albemarle, have recently learned
that the.good people Of Salisbury
are agitating the question Of a
local option election; and where
as the Salisbury saloons are a
source Of great trouble, crime and
SORROW to our people throughout
Stanly county, doing much to de-
stroy the usefulness of our prohi,
tion laws:
Therefore we, IN mass meeting
assembled, petition the good peo-
pie of our neighboring city who
love liberty and good government
to rise in their strength and the
power of God and destroy the
awful liquor traffic, and license
system now obtaining there. To
this end we pledge them cur pray
ers and moral support; and as
sure them that after they have
driven out the traffic we will the
more gladly visit their town.
If our paper fails to reach the
mails on regular time during the
next two weeks we again ask your
indulgence, Our large and hand
some press and splendid outfit
will be installed in few days.
Our force will be augmented by
the addition of Frank F. Smith,
of Salisbury, who is a. good man
and a printer of several years ex-
perience. He will be great help
IN our job department talso, and
we shall soon be able to handle all
orders with dispatch.

purpose. Mrs. I. J. Caldwell, ,

third of the purchase price.
The second death within the
past few months has visited the
family of Rev, and Mrs. G.. A.

woman of undoubted Christian
character. The death occurred

the examination of ex-Sheritf

sometime it has been looking as
if the bondsmen of Mr.. Green
would have to pay quite a short
age. However, expert account

accounts, and the friends of MI

pull through with little if any
loss to himself and sureties.
