Through Mr. Sterling Hines son, now attending Shaw University, he sent in a renewal to the Gazette, and asked that the paper continue to come. Thanks. Judge Adam3, our new Republican Judge, held his first term of Court here last week. He presided with dignity and ease, and proved himself to be equal to the occasion. Hon. S. J. H. Mayes, of Granville county, came down ,to witness the open in g seesion of the Legislature. Mr. Mayes was a member of this body two years ago from his county. Cards are, out announcing thr marriage of Mr. Geo. W. Claiborne and Miss Kittie Hester, both of Hcnherson, N. C, which will take place Tnuraday evening, Jan uary 21, 1997, at 8 o'clock. Mr. H. J. Smith, of Smithfield, was in the city Tuesday, and witnessed the in auguration of Governor Ruesell. Mr. Smith called at the Gazette office and handed us the cash for his renewal. Rev. J. J. Worlds preached a very able and instructive sermon at his church last Sunday night. He preached especially to the young men, and the sermon was full of sound doctrine. Young men take heed. Mr. B. J, Robinson was among our new subscribers last week. Mr. Robinson is a member of the city council and a leading business man. He was one of the candi dates for door-keeper for the House of Representatives. We notice among those who came up from Wilmington to the inauguration of Gov. Russell were Hons. A. J. Walker, David Jacobs, Col. T. C. Miller and Mr. J. A. Murray, who came with the Gov ernor in his private car. Mr. C. D. Britt is prominently men tioned for the appointment of poBt-master at Franklinton, N. C. Mr. Britt was the Republican candidate for Register of Deeds in his county, but was defeated. He worked hard for the fusion ticket. We are sorry to note the death of Mr. Alfred Patterson, of West Raleigh. He departed this life Saturday morning of last week at 6 o'clock. The funeral exer cises took place at St. Paul Church Sun day evening at 3 o'clock. Rev. R. H. W. Leak officiated. Rt. Rev. J. W. Hood, the senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church, arrived in 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 of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Tarboro, is 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.

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. m m m 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. A. B. Hunter, St. Augustine's School, Raleigh, N. C. 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.
