REV. W. JH. EDWARDS.
IMPRESSIVE SCENE AT CENTE?
NARY CHURCH LAST NICHT.
The services at Centenary M. E.
Church last night were largely attend?
ed and of a deeply Impressive charac?
ter. By previous arrangement 1t was
generally known that tlie exercises
would be conducted by the reirlng pas?
tor, Rev. William H. Edwards, and this
fact added largely to the Interest of the
occasion.
Before the bbginning of the services a
deep seriousness pervaded the entire
audience and sorrow -was depicted on
the countenances of many present who
felt that possibly it would be the last j
opportunity they'"'nvould havo to hear'
Mr. Edwards preach from the pulpit of
the church which he lias faithfull and
effectually server as pastor for three
years. I
The services were simple in charac?
ter, but thoroughly sjdritual and emi?
nently appropriate to the occasion. Mr.
Edwards read the sixth chapter of
Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, a
c'horge for the clmreh to put on the
whole armor of God, to have its feet
shod with the preparation of the gos?
pel, which Is the shield of faith and
the sword of the spirit, and above all
to pray for the ambassador of Christ
that he may be bold to make known the
mysteries of the gospel. He made a
clear and lucid application of the les?
son read, showing wherein the church
can malte itself a Btrong tower for the
upholding and defense of the gospel,
and in extending the Redeemer's King?
dom in the world.
The closing invocation was offered by
Rev. E. IT. Rawlings, a former popu?
lar :>astor of the church, but now of
Monumental Church, Portsmouth.
The hymn, "Come Thou Fount of
Every Blessing,", was sung nnd the
benediction pronounced by Mr. Ed?
wards
PRESENTATION.
Immediately after the close of the
service Mr. Luther W. White rose and
requested the congregation to be seated.
He then turned and addressed Mr.
Edwards, saying:
"I have been delegated by the church
to express to you. Brother Edwards,
the love and affection that the congre?
gation has for you and yours, und to
say to you that under your faithful
preaching of the gospel the church has
been lifted to n high spiritual plane,
nnd each individual member has pro?
fited by your wise counsel and godly
example.
"As a further expression of our high
regard for you and your wife I have
been requested to present you this tes?
timonial of esteem from the church."
Mr. White then exposed to view n
magnilir-ent silver tureen and ladle,
richly engraved, and a Handsome set of
silver spoons.
AN AFFECTING SCENE.
Mr. Edwnrds wns so deeply effected
that It was several minutes before ho
wan able to speak- He then said:
"I thnnk you sincerely for this out?
ward expression of your affection, and
can only say that while the gift is
highly appreciated, my greatest desire
and happiness would be to know that
I havo been the means of leading some
of vou to Christ."
At the close of Mr. Edwards' re?
marks the mcmberstfwent forward and
bade him and his wife an affectionate
adieu, people, pastor and wife weeping.
Mr. Edwards and family take the 7:40
train this morning for Farmvllle, his
new field of labor.

Loctureon Stonewall Jackson.
A largo Audience listened with great
pleasure last night to Dr. Hunter Mc
Guire, of Richmond, nt Y. M. C. A.
Hall. His lecture was on "Stonewall
Jackson," and he traced the career of
the South's great warrior in a most in?
teresting manner. There are few per?
sons living, perhaps, who can speak
with greater accuracy or intelligence on
the life of Stonewall Jackson, and es?
pecially of hla military career, than Dr.
McGulre, for he was Stonewall Jack?
son's chief surgeon, his close personal
friend, and was with him in his last
hours.
The members of Plckett-Buehanan
Camp assembled at their hall about S
o'clock, and marched to Y. M. C. A.

A HERO'S SON,
ADMIRAL DEWEY AND PRESI?
DENT WILL EDUCATE HIM.
(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.)
Washington, I). C, Nov. 29.?J. P. V.
a rid ley, n son of the late Captain Chus.
V. Grldley, who commanded Admiral
Dewey's llagshlp at the battle of Ma?
nila, was to-day designated for ap?
pointment as a lieutenant in the Ma?
rine Corps by President McKinley.
Young Grldley Ib too old to enter An?
napolis, ami Lbo only opening for him
in tlie navy lay In an appointment to
the Marine Corps, but ho lacked the
necessary education, and, -worse than
all, the money for study. The boy was
too modest to tell anyone the situa?
tion, but Admiral Dewey, who loved
his father, suspected It and decided to
act. He determined to pay the boy's
expenses while studying for the lieu?
tenancy.
This morning ho met young Grldley
at the White House and presented him
to the President. Admiral Dewey start?
ed to explain the situation -when the
President interrupted and said: "You
and I, Admiral, will pay his expenses
In preparing for examination. If he
falls in the Oral examination I will give
him another chance, but 1 am sure he
will be ready when the time comes."
As Admiral Dewey and the young
man were descending the White House
steps the Admiral was saying to the
son of bis old comrade: "Now you keep
an uccounl of your expenses and let
me know what they arc."
At the foot of the steps the Admiral
ran Into the group of newspaper men.
"I shall be glad to give you an item
this morning," said the Admiral. "The
President has just agreed-to designate
this young man, a son of Captain Grid
ley, for examination for a lieutenancy
in the Marine Corps. But ho has no
money with which to prepare himself
for the examination," he continued.
"However, the President and I are
going to attend to that," he added,
looking at the son of his old friend with
a suspicious moisture in his eyes.
"Now," snid the Admiral as he turned
away, "let the people of the country
know what sort of President they
have."
Mr. Grldley's mother, the widow of'
the gallant commander of the Olympia,
is living at Erie, Pa. She in drawing a
pension of $30 a month, which her
friends in Congress will seek to have
increased by specinl act during the ap?
proaching session.

(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.)
Contreville, R. L, Nov. 29. ?The.hands
employed in the cloth room at the Ccn
trcville Cotton Mill's were assured to?
day by the management that their

ternoon the girls struck and stated
