quite a number of visitors present to wit-
ness tl.e closing exercises. The program
was so well gott»n up and so nicely car-
ried out that it was an honor both to the
students and Rev. Blake. The people
highly indorse the manner in which Rev.
Blake conducted his school.
Sunday morning, April 18, 1897, the
last Easter in the old St. Paul Church,
Raleigh. Never, in the history of St.
Paul, lias there been anything of the kind
to equal this. The program consisted of
essays, cornet solos, selections, duets,
Suartettes, select reading, recitations, etc.
Remarks by Rev. R. H. W. Leak and an
address by Mr. J. C. Davis. The won-
derful display will ever be remembered

On the 1st day of March, the family of
Mr. Thomas Gatling was struck with sor-
row to their heart of the death of Mrs.
Martha Gatling, who was drowned in the
canal before assistance could reach her.
She was a faithful member of the Bap-
tist Churcb, which she loved and to
which she was devoted. She made home
happy and loved her children ar.d did all
she could to make them happy. She is
gone, but rot forgotten.
Our precious to our heart has gone.
The voice we loved is still.
The place made vacant in our home
Can nevermore be filled.
Our father in his wisdom called
The boon his love has given;
And though on tarth the body dies.
The soul is safe in heaven.
Katie L. Gatling.
School Money.
The Superintendent of Public Inst rue
tion recently received a check for $900
from Dr. J. L. M. Curry, as agent for the
famous Peabody Educational Fund. This
amount is to be divided among four of
the seven colored normal schools in the
State.
Mr. Mebane has allotted the money as
follows: Faj etteville. $190; Franklinton,
$290; Plymouth. $290; Elizabeth City,
$130. Total. $900.
Referring to the colored normal schools,
an important meeting of the State Boird
of Education ha« been callrd by Superin-
tendent Mebane for next Saturday at 1
o'clock iti the Governor's office. Ttiv ob
ject of the call is to appoint new local
boards of trustei s for the seven colored
schools of the State. These are at Salis-
bury, Fayetteviile, Goldsboro, Franklin
ton, Plymouth, Elizabeth City and Win-
ston-Salem.
The time for the issuing of the new
catalogues for these schools is near at
hand, and it is the custom to publish the
names of the local board of trustees in
them. It is for this reason that Mr. Meb-
ane has called for the S'ate B.ard to
meet on Saturday.
The Ciceronian Lyceum of Shaw Uni-
versity favored the public with the most
j delightful entertainm* nt of the season
I Wednesday evening, March 17, 1807.
The entertainment marked the end of
the Lyceum's work at Shaw and of her
being supplanted by two incorporated so
j cieties.
At 7:45 o'clock p. ni. the University
; Chapel was being rapidly filled wilh a
; large, appieciative school and city audi-
> ence. The members of the Lyceum
marched in, keeping step with the music
rendered by Mr. Willie Larkins. Having
marched to their seats all she young men
sat.
The President of the Lyceum, Mr. G.
! H. Mitchell, rose and made a few wel-
| come remarks. Mrs. H, M. Tupper and
j her sister, Mrs. Judson Wade Leonaid,
being present,thePresident,in well-chosen
words, welcomed them to the exeicises.
Thepe great hearts can never be forgoi-
! ten. Shaw University and the Leonard
Medical School owe a great debt of grati-
| tude to them.
The following program was well ren
dered: An essay on the Continental Con-
gress, by Mrs. J. W. Paisly; the Conti-
nental Congress, by the Lyceum; an ora-
tion ♦ ulogy on the Ninteenth Century, by
Mr. W. R. Taylor. Debate: "Resolved
that this Nation will Eventually Decay as
other Nations have D >ne." Affirmative,
i Mr. W. T. Askew. Negative, Mr. J. W.
Robinson. The judges decided in favor
! of the negative.
Perhaps the moat striking feature of
the exercises was the Continental Con
I gress. The members of the Congress
spoke so eloquently and personated eo
well the old American hen es that it
seemed almost as if one could imagine
himself in the presence of Hancock, Sher-
man, Adams, Paco, Richard Henry Lee
and the other old heroes as they were
pleading for independence in 1776.
After the program was executed, by
request President Meserve responded
with some very entertaining and instruct-
ing remarks. President Meserve is al-
ways pleased to see progiess being made
by the students.
Long live the worthy Piesident of
Shaw.
An Appeal to Baptist Pastors and Super-
intendents.
The second Sunday in June is the day
set apart as Children's Day.
It is very much desired that it will be
observed by every Sunday-school in our
State. Let every pastor and superintend-
ent see that their school join in with the
schools all over this country and make
this a day not* d for Christian activity
among the Baptist young people.
The appeals from poor preachers, poor
schools, the many persons without the
Bible and very poor ministerial students,
reveal to me most clearly the very great
necessity for the observance of this day
by each Sunday-school.JBesides, we teach
the children to do something for others.
They are taught the grace of giving.
The American Baptist Publication So-
ciety has prepared a very fine programme
for the occasion, which can be had free
of charge, by anyone who may desire it.
Send for copy at once, so that you may
begin to prepare for that day or some
other day that may be more convenient
to you. Let us make the collections on
this day greater than at any subsequent
time. "This is one of the ways we bless
God. Oh I the many hearts we can make
happy by the crumbs, which may fall
from our table on Children's Day ! The
reaction is equally great upon us, for we
are blessed as we bless others. God keep
us in this effort for man's benefit and
God's glory. Sincerely yours,
Joseph Perry,
8. S. Missionary.
Easter Entertainments.
At the Royal Knights' Hall last Mon-
day night a grand entertainment was
given, which was attended largely by the
many visitors to our city.
There was also an Anniversary Party
at the Odd Fellows' Hall, at which quite
a number was present.
A concert was given at Cox Memorial
Church, in which Misses Hattie Tucker,
Maggie, Mary, Delia and Jeanette Phil-
lips, the Misses Hines, and others, took
part. The program was a pleasing one.
THIS BitK-TAX BILL.
The Finance Committee of the Board
Aldermen complained in their report
because Representative James H. Young
defeated the back-tax bill in the Legisla-
ture, as he should have done. In order
that our readers may fully understand
the hardship and injustice of this bill,
which Mayor Rush, Alderman Drewry
and others were urging too zealously be-
fore the Legislature, we print the entire
bill. We knew that in these panicky
times, when men by the hundreds in our
city are out of employment, and when
bankers and others are feeling the money
stringency, that this was no time to be-
gin the collecting of back taxe» for twelve
years, i:nd especially when many people
have been, aud are now, hardly able to
pay their taxes for the present year. But
what difference did it make with this
Democratic city administration, who are
drawing their salaries with regularity,
what hardship their desire for more
money to spend entailed upon the poor
people who have to depend from day to
day upon the little jobs of work that they
catch up here aud there. Notwithstand-
ing the hard times, the scarcity of work
and the decline in values, the expenses of
the city have not decreased one dollar,
but upon the contrary, have been in-
creased until, for the year just ended,
there is a deficit of j7,300 in paying cur-
rent expenses. How long can the city
stand this kind of financiering? The
remedy that the present Board has in
mind is to increase taxes to meet expen-
ses rattiei than to decrease expenses. The
taxes are now higher for city purposes
than they ought to be. The remedy of
the people should be to defeat Mayor
Russ and put in a man who will reduce
expenses and thereby save the tax-pay-
ers in this great financial struggle. But
to the bill, which is as follows:
A Bill to be Entitled an Act to Authorize
the Collection of Back Taxes Dae the
City of Raleigh.
Whereas. There is a large amount due
the City of Raleigh, on account of back
taxes from persons who failed to pay the
■ axes assessed against them during the
years 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888. 1889, 1890,
1891, 1892, 1893, 1894 and 1895, by the
Board of Aldermen of said City of Ral-
eigh: Now therefore
The General Assembly of North Carolina
do enact:
Section 1. That the Board of Alder- j
men c f the eaid City of Raleigh are hereby
authorized, empowered and directed to
place upon a s> parate tax list for the year |
eighteen liundr. d and ninety-seven of the j
names of all persons and corporations
against whom taxes were assessed and
have not been paid for the years named
in the foregoing preamble, together with
the sums assessed each of said years
against said persons or corporations, and
place the > ame in the hands of the City
Tax Collector of said city of Raleigh for
the year eighteen hundred and ninety-
seven. a>>d the same list shall have the
effect of continuing in force the origi-
nal assessments, judgments and liens
for the taxes due during the said j ears
respectively; and the said tax-collector
shall proceed to collect the said taxes at
the same time, in the same manner and I
under the same laws as shall be in force
for the collection of tax< s due Baid city
of Raleigh for the year eighteen hundred
and ninety-seven, ai:d shall account for
said taxes as required by law for ac-
counting for regular taxes; Provided,
that if any of said persons shall make
affidavit that they have paid said taxes,
taken receipts for the payment and lost
the same, the names of said persons Bhall
be stricken from said tax-list: Provided
further, that no greater sum shall be im-
posed or collected than that which was
levied and assessed for and during each
of said years respectively.
Section 2. That the provisions of this
act shall apply to all cases where, by or-
der of the Board of Aldermen of said city,
there have be»en sales of real estate for
the collection of the taxes due for or dur-
ing said years, and where the sales have
not been enforced.
Section 3. That this act shall not be
construed to relieve any city tax collect-
ors, their representatives or bondsmen
from liability imposed by law for failure
to collect and account for said taxes as
required by law and the charter and or-
dinances of said city.
Section 4. This act shall be in force
from and after its ratification.

Death of Stephen Bailey.
Death cannot make our souls afraid,
If God be with us there;
We may walk through the darkest
shade
And never yield to fear.
From the community of Harmony.
Virginia-North Carolina line, Bro. Ste-
phen Bailey was summoned to the bank
e>f that silent stream April 18,1897. While
the gates of heaven stood ajar his immor-
tal sou! leaped into glory. A few hours
before his death he turned for the last
time to his beloved wife and friends. To
them he says: " My time is quite short; I
must leave you all, but heaven is my
home."
And while the music of angels were
singing over him—
" I know I am nearing the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear,
I feel the dews on Jordan's bank;
The crossing must be nearl"
During which, apparently, he was
looking into the city of Gold. He only
lingered a few days. His age was forty-
six years. Not only his family and
church grieves his absence, but the com-
munity mourns the loss of one of its
peaceful and prosperous citizens.

NOTICE.
Latta Unsveraity will be closed during
the Christmas holidays for all the session
for the purpose of rebuilding the build-
ings that were consumed by fire last May,
and also additional buildings. The Uni-
versity is located in the village of Ober-
lin, N. C., one and one-half miles west of
the capitol building in the city. The lo-
cation is the very best for a school, being
out of the busy city, but within easy
reach by means of the electric street cars.
It is enough to say. that there has not
been a single case of serious illness since
the establishment of the school. Each
dormitory is heated by stoves and hearths,
so every necessary comfort is secured.
The terms are very reasonable—$7 50 per
month. Those desiring to reduce their
expenses by work will be taken at the
lowest possible rates: young men $6.40
per month; young women $5.40 per
month; day students $1 per month. A
small incidental fee will be charged.
The school will reopen on the 7th day
of October, 1807. Our purpose is to make
it one of the largest schools in the South
for the race. Law and Medicine will be
added. The institution is wholly non-
sectarian in its religious instruction or
influence. Yet earnest attention will be
given to Bible study, applying its truths
to daily life and conduct, that a thorough
Christian character may be obtained. It
is open to all students of either sex.
None but competent teachers will be em-
ployed.
For further information, address the
President, Rev. M. L. Latta, D. D.
I will le-tve for the North and Europe
the latter part of December or the first
of January, and will return time enough
to have buildings completed by the re-
opening of the school. The University
will contain eight buildings.
AGAIN.
A woman said it.
She was from Washington City, D. C,,
and people in Washington, who want the
best, can usually get it. This lady, who
was stopping over in Raleigh with a
friend, after taking breakfast with her,
asked the question, "Where do you get
such deliciou 4 coffee ? I have never tasted
anything like it." The prompt reply,
"I buy from Stronach's," is no fairy tale.
We could name the parties. That, of
course, would be unpardonable. We can
say that the lady from Washington car-
ried home a good big package of it.
We would not give a penny for the
opinion of a man. He sits down to a
table and eats goat for lamb, sausage
made from the overflowing population of
East Raleigh for pure corn-fed hog
product, and his opinion of something
good to eat is the rtflex of some blanker
fool than himself—that is, unless he
has a wife to guide him
We once asked a Jewish butcher, who
was trying to sell us some pork, how he
reconciled his conscience to selling it, he
being an orthodox Jew, and Moses hav-
ing in a very decided manner denounced
the eating of pork. He replied, *'You
Gentiles do not understand this th.ng.
At the time Moses fotbade the Jews to
eat hog meat he bad a large flock of
goats with him."
We are not autocrats: we simply ad-
vertise the goods that we know are first-
class. We would like to sell them to
people who appreciate such stock.
We are Specially particular in the mat-
ter of Flour, Butter, Coffee and Tea, and
our large sales attest our knowledge of
these most important articles of food.
