The Baptist Church Dedicated.

The Roxboro Baptist church
was dedicated last Sunday morn
ing. Rev. G. T. Watkins, the
retiring pastor, preached the
sermon. He was assisted in TIE
service By Rev. J. A. Hornaday,
pastor of the Methodist church
here. The chci::', under the
guidance of Mrs. O. P. Schau5,
rendered some excellent music,
suitable to the occasion. Tn
solo by Miss Pettigrew was
beautifully rendered. in fac;
there are few who have a better
voice than Miss Pettigrew, and
the congregation always enjoy
her singing.
Al night the pastor preached
his farewell sermon, closing a
plstorate of more than six years,
and we venture to say that no
time during the six years has
Mr.. Watkins been held in higher
esteem than at the present time.
He is a good preacher and a hard
worker, and will be missed not
only by his church but by the
community. He leaves this
week for his new field and car
ries with him the best wishes of
the people of Roxboro, regardless
of denomination. His family
will not go until the fall. -Rox-
boro Courier.

Washington. Mar. 2S.-One of the
most important political events of
the coming week will be the national
convention of the Peoples party, to
be held in st. Louis on Thursday.
While the Populists are less numer
GUS than a decade ago, and will play
a small part in the campaign, con-
siderable interest Is manifested in
the selection of a presidential candi-
date to lead the scattered remnants
of the party to defeat. Thomas Wat
son of Georgia, will probably be ac-
corded this honor, although there is
some talk of nominating Senator
Robert La Toilette of Wisconsin.
Rumors of a coalition between the
Populists and Hearst's Independence
League have been rife of late, but
are apparently without foundation.
The most important Republican
convention of the coming week Will
be that of Indiana, to be held in
indianapolis on Wednesday ano
Thursday. The convention will as
semble on Wednesday afternoon and
select four delegates at large to the
national convention. These delegates
will be instructed to support the
presidential aspirations of Vice-Pres-
ident Fairbanks. All of the twenty
six delegates from the thirteen dis
tricts of Indiana have already been
instructed for Fairbanks. On Thurs
day the convention will nominate
candidates for governor and other
state offices.
The political warfare will have its
inception in New York state on
Tuesday. when all parties will hold
primaries. Delegates will be elected
to the assembly district conventions.
The latter will choose delegates to
the state conventions, which in turn
will choose delegations to the ma
tional conventions. Principal inter-
est attaches to New York city, where

1881. He was destined for the bar, and
studied to that end at college and in law
school, but man is helpless in the tolls of fate,
and so it came that Hanford was drafted from
the calculations OF the recondite principles of
Coke on Littleton and set to interpretations of
the exhaustless fanccs and muititudinous phil
osophies of Shakespeare. Before that, how

political life and for a time he was clerk in
