our city last Saturday. He preached two
powerful and convincing sermons at St.
Cyprian Church last Sunday and deliv
ered an able and logical address on "Com
mon Sense Education," at Shaw Univer
sity last Monday night. The Bishop did
not fail to put in some good work in be
half of Senator Pritchard while here.
For the first time in twenty years
North Carolina has a Republican Gov
ernor. Mr. R. J. Perry is a prominent appli
cant for the Weldon poBtoffice, and will
quite likely receive the plum.
Rev. H. P. Walker, who is now pastor

in the city visiting his family. His family
will remain inthecity during'the winter,
then they will make Tarboro their home.
Mr. H. B. Pearce, of Johnston county,
was here last week. Mr. Pearce is one of
the leading Republicans of his county,
and he rendered valuable service in the
last campaign. He should not be over
looked in the distribution of "Uncle
Sam's" patronage.
We learn that Mr. H. D. Mayo is a
candidate for the appointment of post
master at Littleton. Mr. Mayo is a fine
man, a gentleman, and a solid Republi
can. He spent his time and money for
the success of Republican and Populist
parties, and he well deserves an appoint
ment. Hon. J. E. Burgess, of Camden county,
was the first member of the Legislature
to call at the Gazette office, and ordered
our paper sent to several of his friends in
his county. Names as follows: Messrs.
M. W. Burfoot, Elias Furgurson, O. D.
Car wright, '.Louis Sharpe, Cnas. Barnett,
J. B. Trafton, Hunt Wilson Bass, Joshua
Bass, S. O. Bright and W. G. Taylor.
Mr. Burgess is a staunch Republican, a
gentleman and a true representative.
The people of Camden will not have cause
to regret sending Mr. Burgess here to
fight their cause.
Hon. James H. Arrington, of Halifax
county, met us one day this week and
says: "Mitchell, I want to send your
paper, the Gazette, to four or five of my
county." He ordered it sent to Messrs.
H. J. Johnson, Alonza Northington, G.
J. Dickins, Rev. Chas. Pearce and M. C.
Bradley. Mr. Arrington keeps his eyes
on the proceedings of the Legislature, and
will let no opportunity pass wherein he
can represent his constituents. Mr. Ar
rington has the will power and ability
to represent, and the people of Halifax
will not regret his election.
The oath of office was administered to
Governor Daniel L. Russell in the pres
ence of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives by Hon. W. T. Faircloth,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, at
the conclusion of the count on Tuesday,
January 12, 1896. The Governor then
delivered his inaugural address in the
presence of . such spectators as could
comfortably fill the limited space allowed
to visitors on the floor of the House and
in the galleries. These simple yet effect
ive services were very interesting, and
very appropriate.
It is amusing to us to hear, the
"straight-ticket gang," who refused to
vote for Russell and Jim Young, com
plaining because colored people were not
invited to the reception given in honor
of Governor Russell and the other newly
inaugurated State officers by tbe Capital
Club of this city. The reception was
given by private parties, ho had a right
to select their own guests. No colored
person of common sense and Bound judg
ment would have attended that recep
tion if they bad been invited. The Re
publican colored people do not expect
nor ask for social equality, even though
we have a Republican Governor, but are
contending for political equalit y.

Presiding Elder Suttondelivered him
self of three able sermons on Sunday last
at the A. M. E. Zion Church, being the
first Quarterly Meeting of 1897, Rev.
Homer P. Walker following. Rev. A.
A. Crooke is hustling to put his members
on record as workers.
Miss Elizabeth A. Jackson, one of
Edgecombe's school Ma'ams, was in the
" boro" Sunday, looking her best. Well,
I wonder how long she will wear the
ring before confirming its import ?
Miss Catharine M. Lewis returned from
her Virginia home last Saturday evening.
Our hat is in our right hand doing
honor to the "Reformer" contributor,
signed "J. H. .," for the masterly enco
nium paid to the Rt. Rev. Jas. A. Handy,
and to the first great Christian organiza
tion of this country, the A. M. E. Church;
that her ministry and laity has moulded
American Negro thought, no well in
formed man will question.
Tarboro's Christian people, as well as
sinners, were in mourning over the pass
ing across the silent river of the Jate Sis
ter Gatsey Foreman, of the A. M. E. Z.
Church. She was a veteran Christian
soldier, working for the Master and her
church. Her body 6leeps, but the im
mortal soul is rejoicing in the presence
of her Redeemer. She has fought a
good fight and has gone up to wear her
crown.
Our public schools opened Monday,
January 4tb. The teachers, male and
female, are anxious that the Committee
on Education shell present the best meas
ure ever presented for county supervis
ion. Let our Institutes be conducted by
com petent instructors. Board s of County
Commissioners, as a rule, are men capa
ble to attend to county business, but to
tally ignorant of educational affairs.
The many friends of Rev. and Mrs. A.
A. Crooke regretted losing them from
the " boro." What is Tarboro's loss is
Beaufort's gain. An excellent Divine.
Hon. Jeter C. Pritchard is a worthy
successor to the late Senator Vance. The
co-operationists should not by thirds or
halves vote for him, but every Popuiist
vote in either branch should vote for
Senator Pritchard.
The late Dr. Jos. C. . Price, the most
pleasing platform orator in this country,
electrified the world on " Our Peculiar
Work." Prof. Booker T. Washington is,
by the earnest manner in which he is
putting industrial education before the
people of this country in results is im
morta'izing himself is a great race lead
er. He will win a niche in the temple of
fame for having directed his people how
to support the scientists and pedagogues
of the race-work I
. Dr. W. D. Crum, who was post-master
of Charleston, S. C, under Harrison,
then why not have James H. Young at
Ralaigh, N. C?
The Raleigh Gazette's editorial on the
Senatorial question is quite as strong as
the one on the Impending Crisis.
Emancipation Celebration Jan. 1, 1897.
Metropolitan Hall Packed by Patri
otic Citizens Oration bg Hon. J. II.
Young Great Enthusiasm.
The colored citizens of Raleigh and
Wake County celebrated in grand style
the 34th anniversary of the issuance of
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation
January 1st at Metropolitan Hall.
Long before the hour for the commence
ment of the exercises the hall was densely
packed by a well-dressed, high-toned, in
telligent audience which was just over
flowing with the spirit of the day. Shaw
University and St. Augustine School were
out in full. The music was fine. Rev.
R. H. W Leak presided. Mr. C. N. Hun
ter read the Proclamation of Emancipa
tion. Mis9 Mary A. Love read an origi
nal poem, which proved a happy concep
tionand was most heartily applauded.
W. M. Graves, Esq., presented the resolu
tions, which were unanimously adopted.
The orator of the day, Hon. James H.
Young, was introduced and came forward
and delivered one of the finest addresses
ever heard on a similar occasion. It was
full of sound, practical advice, eloquent
appeals to the better thought of the race
.and telling hints at prevailing vices.
On rising to address the people Mr.
Young was tendered an ovation such as
has seldom been tendered any man. The
address throughout was punctuated with
hearty applause and other demonstra
tions of approval.
At the close of the oration the follow
ing officers were unanimously elected for
the ensuing year: President, J. H. Young;
Treasurer, W. F. Debnam; Secretary, C.
N. Hunter.
Delegates to Emancipation Convention :
C. N. Hunter and Joseph Perry.
Thus passed off one of the grandest cel
ebrations in the history of the Negroes of
Wake County.

Haps and Mishaps on the Cape Fear.
Wilmington, N. C, Dec. 15, '96.
This writer wishes to congratulate him
self and inform the many readers of the
Gazette that through the solicitation of
the soliciting agent of said paper he has
accepted to pencil from time to time a
few of the " haps" and " mishaps" on the
Cape Fear.
While the enthusiastic Negro politician
is yet whooping himself hoarse over the
recent political land-slide (and by-the-by,
has a good cause to whoop) we observe
the industrious Negro forging ahead pur
chasing land. This writer witnessed the
Bale of one of the finest plantations along
the Cape Fear the oiher day. The pur
chaser was a colored man and he paid
the cash in tbe sum of $1,500. Who will
follow suit?
This municipality is famed for three
things, namely, pretty girls, marriages
and fires. A small marriage will take
place soon. Guess who it is? We have
tires nearly every night.
Rev. P. L. Ceyler, pastor of St. Luke's
A. M. E. Z. church fur the ensuing year,
preached at that church at morning and
evening services on Sunday the 13th inst,
His introductory text was Matthew 10th
chapter, 16ih verse: "Behold I send you
as sheep in the midit of wolves." His re
marks were very practical and appropri
ate. The Wilmington Messenger seems to be
the modern "Argus" of our times from
the observation of her many brilliant
eyes. She has spoken her sentiments in
regard to Federal appointments in this
city. She has told " Uncle Sam." Now,
what's the matter with the city attorney.
Who is he? Give us some light along this
line.
Preparations are being made for a
pompous celebration here on the first day
of January, '97. Rev. P. L. Ceyler will
be the orator on that occasion.
We have splendid talent in this city and
an up-to date, all round circle of high so
ciety people. Some of our young men
need to be a little more manly and scorn
sarcasm and slang in social gatherings.
There is a book entitled "Our Deport
ment." If this book is carefully read and
observed by some of our young men they
would be more esteemed for their good
breeding. Our women are simply fine,
and, I am sorry, to say, too fine for such
ruffians. This is a deplorable " mis-hap."
We are proud of our Governor-elect
Russell. His name carries havoc in the
Democratic camp; more disastrous than
the Monsoon upon the tropic Nile of
Africa. North Carolina officials under
his administration will look with dismal
disgrace upon the wibkey saloon. Resist
temptation and tote a clear upper story
or the filth in " Denmark" will fume and
disgrace that bring to eternal oblivion.
Sobriety, intelligence and honesty is his
motto. William Aua. Moore,
Jurist Consullus.
Worthy of All Praise. ,
Dear Editor: Will you please allow
me a few words endorsing the last issue
of your paper congratulating and thank
ing the many readers for their subscrip
tions aid renewals for 1897, as well as the
kind words and sympathy shown us. I
don't thick you have flattered yourself
in the least when you spoke of the great
and good work that has been done through
the columns of the Gazette. It has mer
ited every word of praise that has been
said, and others will agree with me when
I say you deserve even more honor for
the good work you are doing. And with
your untiring efforts to bring light out of
darkness, it is the only paper today that
tells what the Afro-Americans are doing
in this our State and a large portion of
the United States. It shows the rapid
progress which the Negroes are making.
It is encouraging to its readers to know
that we are not all asleep, and glad to
know that some are awake and trying to
awaken others.
It is a well-known fact that we all can't
climb the ladder at once, so let us learn
to push and pull. Help others up then
they can help you up. All know how we
worked to put Hon. James H. Young in
the House of Representatives, and we are
sure he will try to benefit others. That
is the idea of push and pull. We all be
lieve that he will do all in his power for
the best interest of the entire people
those who fought in the last contest to
whip the enemy. We won the approval
of honest-hearted white and colored men.
The men we have elected will act and do
for us.
I will say to you, Mr. Editor, may the
God of peace guide you in all things;
may peace and happiness abide with you
and family, and may you begin the new
year with a double resolution. I wish
you a happy New Year. Let the Gazette
come. S. M. R. Slade.
Editor of The Gazette.
In connection with St. Agnes .Hospital,
Raleigh, a training school for nurses has
been established. It is under the care of
a trained nurse graduate of a Boston
school. There, are three nurses under
training, and the second class is now
about to be started. The course of study
and training covers 18 months, and it is
believed that remunerative compensation
can then be obtained for nurses so train
ed. Lectures are given by the following
physicians and on the subjects named:
Dr. Scruggs ..General Practice.
Dr. Royster Medical Nursing.
Dr. Battle. Chemistry and Physiology.
Dr. Knox r Susgical Nursing.
Dr. McKee Obstetrical Nursing;
Miss Burgess gives constant drill and
training, and Miss Wilson instructs in
massage.
There are no charges for board or tui
tion," and the hospital gives opportunity
for clinical practice and observation.
There are still several vacancies and ap
plication can be made for them to Mrs.

Church Work In Fayetteville.
The Baptists of Fayetteville and their
friends aie up and doing in regard to
raising money for their new church, for
they are bound to" bestir themselves as
lone as they keep such a bold, fearless.
energetic and IGod-eent pastor as Rev. G.
W. Moore, ior ii mere ever was a bustier
be is one. Yet his hustling is always in
the right way and .for the right cause.
His church members and many friends
who are members of other churches and
those who are not connected with any
church, all alike, have unbounded confi
dence in him, theref ore, when he asks the
people to help him raise money for a good
cause they meet him with that will and
zeal which never fails. -
No matter how hard the times may
seem to be he asked the members a few
days ago to help him raise a little more
money through another little rally. The
result of the short notice was on last Sun
day tbe 15th inst. The members and
friends came forward and said (by their
actions) : "The times ar hard, the coun
try hasn't got over the Bryan scare, but
out of a little Rev. , '.we'll give a little." So
they raised $28, a few dollars more than
the pastor and his people expected to
have raised, so the pastor, members and
friends are holding up this watchword,
"The Lord being willing we shall have a
new church edifice erected here now in
the near future." Pacis.
Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God to remove from labor to reward Sis
ter Gatsey Foreman, who was for thirty
years a consistent member of the A. M.
E. Zion Church at this place, during
which time she was a doer of the Word.
She stood face foremost in the battle of
the Lord...' She was also a member of
Circle of Humble Workers King's Daugh
ters from its organization to her death.
She loved to labor in His name: there
fore be it
Resolved, 1st. That in the death of Sis
ter Gatsey Foreman the A. M. E. Zion
Church has lost one of its pillars, the
community one of its oldest and most
useful citizens, and the King's Daughters
one of its most earnest workers.
2d. That while we bow in submission
to the Dispenser of life and death, we
mourn her loss and miss her cheering
voice; but feel that our loss is heaven's
gain.
Be it further resolved, That a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon the min
utes at the next meeting 6f the Humble
Workers Circle of King's Daughters and
a copy be sent to the Star of Zion and
the Raleigh -Gazette for publication.

NOTICE.
Latta Unsversity will be closed during
the Christmas holidays for all the cession
for the purpose of rebuilding the build
ings that were consumed by tire last May,
and also additional buildings. Tbe Uni
versity is located in the village of Ober
lin, N. C, one and one-half miles west of
the capitol building in tbe city. The lo
cation is the very best for a school, being
out of tbe busy city, but within easy
reach by means of the electric streetcars.
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.
Tbe terms are very leasonable $? 50 per
month. Those desiring to reduce their
expenses by work will be taken at the
lowestr 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, 1897. 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 leave 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.
