The colored revival, held last week
by Rev. S. B. Knight, pastor of the
colored Baptist church, assisted by
Rev. Geo. W. Lee resulted in the
conversion of - 1 persons and the res
toration of a number of othert. Bapt
ism took place on Sunday last. A
larger crowd was present to witness
the event.
Rev
James H. Manly D. D of
Petersburg,
Va. has recently made,
what a Maryland Editor calls a sound
mJ
talk on the race problem. The speech
was delivered at Elkton, Md. A large
number of white peop'e were present
to hear him. 31anley is well known
to our people having been Presiding
Elder in this district prior to his assign
ment, to his prescLt charge, by the
Conference.
Any white man who goes to a color

unseemly ought to be bounced by the
biggest fooied negro in the congriga

will employ any lawyer in town to de
fend him, in case of arrest, and heip
pay costs in case judgement

Friday last our Mayor received a
disoHtch from W inton to he effect that
certain escapes from justice would reach
Edenton on the Str. Roberts that day
at 12 in. The Mayor informed Sheriff
Perry and Deputy Spruiil who were on
the wharf, when the steamer landed, to
welcome the unexpected visitors and to
extend them the usual invitation :
"Come, go with us." They Wfcre 4e

NAG'S HEAD.
Edenton, Sept. 7th, 1889.
Mr. Editor : The hotel property at
Nag's Head will be sold at public auc
tion on the 7th instant at Elizabeth
City, N. C, Mr. A. E. Jacobs, the
proprietor, having retired to take charge
of a hotel in Norfolk, Va., which he
will call the North Carolina House.
The general opinion is that money ju
diciously expended at Nag's Head will
prove exceedingly profitable. Certain
ly no watering place on our coast offers
so many inducements for the invest
ment of capital.
My family and myself spent several
weeks there this summer and enjoyed
ourselves very much. The weather
was pleasant, the proprietor kind, the
table well supplied and the servants
attentive; who could wLeh for more.
We trust the property will pass into I
the hands of parties who will have the
means necessary to erect a suitable
hotel with all modern conveniences and
to purchase a fast steamer for the con
venience of the place. It would be
a
ffreat loss to our people and a pity to
let a place with so many natural advan- j
