upon "the dark and bloody ground" |
is the cynosure Of all eyes at present. |
We have not yet ceased to enjoy the
feast of philosophy that Or. R. H.
Boyd set forth to us last Sunday,
when he appeared in two sermons con-
nected with the dedication of Ramsey
Hall, the new addition to M. & F. Col.
lege, and now the city is busy primp-
ing into its best bib and tucker pre-
paratory to receiving Mr.. Booker T.
Washington next Monday.
DR.. Boyd, accompanied by his de-
lightful wife and Prof Crenshaw, OF
the Globe, arrived in the city last
Sunday from Nashville at 10 o'clock
a m, and from that time until their
departure for home at $3.50, he was
kept continually busy. He preached
brilliant sermon at the Virginia Street
Baptist Church in the morning and
later at College Hill at the dedication
of the new hall He dwelt thought
fully upon the value and necessity Of
small beginnings, and declared that
success was sweeter when purified by
hardships Large and attentive audi
ences greeted the distinguished church
man upon both occasions, and a very
creditable amount of money was re-
allied for the institution.
DR.. Booker T. Washington has in
Guided this city in his autumn itine-
rary, and will appear here on the eve
ming of November % at the Taberna-
Gle. The advance sale Of seats has
been wonderfully alert, the white citi-
zens being particularly prominent in
the purchase of reservations Every in
dication prevails that DR.. Washington S
first appearance here will be truly a
red letter day in the history of the
city. Many of the establishments in
the business portion of the city will be
fittingly decorated DR.. Washington
appears under the auspices and in TIE
interest of the M. & F. College. The
belated dawn Of prosperity was signi-
lized this week by q marked activity
in the local tobacco market. Hopkins
vile, as is generally known, ia In the
center of the dark tobacco district
not to mention the fact that it is the
pivot around which the night-riders
were wont to encircle Whenever the
tobacco market is brisk the colored
farmers, of whom there are more thar
five hundred hereabout, reap immedi
ate and valuable profits The season
entering with heavy rains, numbel
of sales are recorded by the colOre(
producers at very good prices.
Revivals are in progress al Virgin;
Street Baptist Church, Freeman Chap
ell c. M. E. Church, and Main Stree
Church with varying success.
Bishop Woodcock preached at thu
Church of the Good Shepherd last Sun
