The Synod of the PRESBYTERIAN
Church of NorthC Carolina has Just
closed most interesting and (as
to number of delegates in attend
ance) one of the largest meetings
in it's history-indeed the larg-
est gathering of ministers and
elders that has been held for
years in the whole Southern
Church. The daily sessions were
held in the spacious auditorium
of the college, and the delegates
were all entertained by the col
lege, this being made possible by
the town people taking care of
DR.. VardelPs large bevy of girls.
To say that this occasion has
been source of rare enjoyment
and profit to all would fall short
of expressing what we feel in re-
gard to it. The opening sermon
by the retiring moderator, Rev.
A. +. Shaw, of Charlotte, was
listened to with marked attention
which, indeed, it we'll merited
by a large, intelligent audi
ence. After this the organiza-
tion was effected, Rev. DIR. Wells,
of First church, Wilmington, be-
ing by acclamation elected mod
orator, and Revs. Goodman and
Brown temporary clerks. The
business meetings throughout the
week were we'll attended and the
discussions exceedingly interest
ing. Rev. DR.. Wells remained
over Sunday and preached two
excellent sermons in the Presby-
terian church. Rev. DR.. Walsch
also remained and preached in
the Baptist church. Rev. Mr..
Crawford, of Rowland, was ap-
pointed to preach in the Method
ist church, but circumstances
were such that he had to return
to his own charge.
Hotel Red Springs is receiving
a liberal share of patronage and
its proprietor is giving efficient,
pains taking service and most
perfect satisfaction to all con-
cerned. The stockholders are
now installing an up-to-date heat
ing system which, when gotten
IN operation, will about complete
the work contemplated and the
hotel will he splendidly equipp-
ed.
Red Springs was thronged with
visitors this past week and to
mention all of them by name

turning to their home In Provi-
;dence, Rhode Island, about the |
last of November. Miss Clarke |
Mclean, of Maxton, visited here |

The readers of The Robesonian |
and the friends of the contract
