The ratio of expenses of management to income in 1MK) was 9.37 per against 9 9S per cent, in lSb9.

It engages in no speculative operations; it accepts the confidence of its members as the most sacred of trusts. Full information of its plans of insurance gladly given by S.

D. Wait, GenT Agent, Raleigh, X. C. Glexx. Mr.

Robert B. Glenn, of Winston, delivered an address Sunday night in the Methodist Church, in the interest of the Young Men's Christian Association. He did not speak to empty seats, but to a crowded house of interested hearers, for many are the compliments paid this eloquent gentleman who is devoting so much of his ti ne in assisting in thej reformation of the young men of our country. We thank Mr. Glenn for the interest he has manifested in the welfare of our young men, and hope be will give us another lecture on the same subject in the near future.

Mt. Airy News. Herman. It was the pleasure of the editor of this paper to unite in matri mony on last Wednesday, April 29lh, at Cary, X. Miss Mamie Herman and Dr.

D. W. Youngolood. Miss Mamie is the accomplished daughter of the Rev. P.

L. Herman, of the X. C. Conference. Dr.

Youngblood is a promising physician of South Carolina. The marriage took place at the residence of Rev. P. L. Herman and the bride and groom left on Wednesday for South Carolino their future home.

The Advocate joins writh the many friends of this happy couple in expressions of congratulations and good wishes. Baix. We note with pleasure that most, or perhaps nearly all, of the papers in Xorth Carolina have endorsed the views of Treasurer Bain relative to the income tax feature of the Revenue bill passed by the General Assembly. It strikes us, as a construction in all respects fair and just, alike to the tax payers and the State. The prompt ruling of Treasurer Bain in this, as in all matters connected with his important department of the state government, is characteristic of his high standing as one of our foremost financiers.

Xo state can boast of a more efficient official in every respect. Raleigh Visitor. Fifth St. The revival meetings at Fifth Street M. E.

Church, conducted by llev. J. W. Lee, the Evangelist, are exciting deep interest which continues to increase as the days pass by. On Sunday night the church was thronged to its utmost capacity and hunch eds were unable to gain admission.

The services were of an intensely interesting character, making a deep and good impression on all preseut, and quite a mington, Greensboro, Charlotte and Concord. These meetings have been greatly beneficial to the children of the church Dr. Smith knows how to talk to children on the subject of religion. Alp.ea A late telegram from Winston says: "Rev. W.

W. Albea, a retired minister and the first preacher in charge of the Methodist congregation of Winston is lying very ill at his home in this city and very little hope is entertained for his recovery. He is S3 years old." Puckett. Rev. Mr.

Puckett, after assisting Mr. Pegram in a meeting here for several days, returned to his home in Smithtield on Friday. Mr. Puckett delivered several able sermons while here; he is a good and consecrated man, and during his short sojourn with us made many warm friends. Central Times, (Dunn.) Cro well.

Lexixotox. From the Dispatch we gather the following: "The Methodist Sunday School has a class of illiterate young men.
