People come here from almost all over the coun ty as well as from the adjoining counties of Bertie and Hertford The announcements in the Patron and Gleaner cause mnst of those from a distance to come. Mr. C. G-. Conner, who is a stu dent at the University of North Carolina, writes that he is well pleased with the University and has received nothing but uniform kindness from students and facul ty.

He says he has met there some of the most pious and conse crated Christian young men he ever met anywhere. He speaks in high terms of the christian influ ences exerted by Prosrdent Alder man and the faculty. For some time matters have not run smoothly with the First Col ored Baptist Church here, on account of differences with their pastor. Last Saturday night matters reached a climax when the pastor, Rev. M.

G. Christmas, was arrested on a warrant sworn out by the clerk of the church. The preacher, Christmas, was brought before Justice Yann, who after hearing the evidence fined him five dollars and cost amounting to between nine and ten dollars Later the fine was remitted. On Monday the deacons of, the church paid the minister his salary in full on the promise that he would leave and return no more. He was not al lowed to preach on Sundar, though he was at the church for that purpose.

From the best we can learn all the members, except one family, were against the preacher. "STRONGTALK BUT TRUE," EVERY WORD. We have prices as low-if not lower than any other house.

In addition to the above there are ten persons, all colored, in jail serving out sen tences of from one to six months each. An Explanation. The editors of the Circuit Eider and the Patron and Gleaner have arrived at an understanding, and we make public the following ex planations: In a conversation in the parlor of Lassiter's hotel in the presence of Rev. Dr. Swindell and others the editor of the Circuit Rider said that "Conner, a Methodist, has criticised the head of the Methodist College and now he cannot complain if every Methodist stops supporting his paper," or words to that effect; butsays he did not, as last week's article in Patron And Gleaner might imply, propose any organized ef fort in that direction.

He objects to the charge of being a defender of trusts and monopolies, and says he has not made a sufficient study of the question to take a decided stand; that he is not yet ready to defend or condemn trusts. He admits having neglected his pastorial duties; says he so report ed at last quarterly meeting; that our comments do him an injustice in that they do not state the cause of the neglect; that the neglect has not been connued to Jrmners, out has been at all the churches on the circuit; that the cause of this neg ect was on account of having no horse to drive (his mare having a young colt) and the salary paid by he circuit not being large enough to enable him to hire a horse to go round to see his people, which he has been anxious to do. We give the editor of the Cir cuit Rider full credit for what we claim for ourselves honesty of purpose. I GOOD MILCH COW. PRICE $8.00.

Names of countries undergo, not unfrequently, a curious evolution, as witness Russia, Germany, Turkey and Belgium America is another case in point The title Americi Terra was first given (1507) to the continent by Martin Waldseemuller in his work "Cosmographiae Introduction' When I recently declared that at the present day 'Arneri-ca" is not "historically" but geographically and actually a popular locution for "United States of America," I merely stated what in the western hemisphere is an ordinary accepted fact The circumstance that the continental designation North America did I dare write it Northamerica! is something similar has, of course, given rise to the present absurd misconception. Being a native of Canada no more constitutes a person an American than being a native of France constitutes an other a German, because, for sooth both are residen ts of Europe. If either of your indignant correspondents will "show me a sane native Canadian who ever dreams of calling himself an American, I will match him by bringing forth a taxpayer of Stockton-on-Tees who commonly proclaims himself a Europan when visiting Paris. I might observe that "United States" is not a title by itself at all; that there are, or were, the United States cf Columbia, the United States of Brazil and the United States of Holland; but by far the strongest point I can make is that if the people inhabiting the United States of America choose to call themselves Americans (and heaven knows there is no unseemly competition for the if they are so termed (los Americanos) by their continental copartners the Mexicans, and by the Canadians, why in the name of common seuse should we make a fuss about it? The Brazilians, Peruvians, Chilians, Mexicans and Canadians have long since ratified the title of the "United States" to "Amer ica," which they captured bag and baggage, ammunition, stores and artilery, while theJpresent century was yet unborn. The thing seems to me as clear as crystal.

"America" is the "United States of America," and the limits of America (to quote the title you have given to this discussion) are those which Providence, the frailty of the Mexican government and the maladroit-ness of English diplomacy have conceded to her. World's Progress. The three-year-old boy of J. A. Johnson, of Lynn Center, 111.

is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson savs he is satisfied that the time ly use of Chamberlain's cough Ram- edy- during a severe attack, saved his little boy's life. He is in the drug a member of the firm of Johnson Bros, of that place and they handle a great many patent medicenes for throat and lung dis- eases, rie naa an tnese to cnoose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his calfj but selected this remedy for use in bis own fam ily at a time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and fa mous the country over for its cures of croup, ilr. Johnson says this is the best selling cough medicine they handle, and that it gives splendid satisfaction in all cases.

If )uti have anything to sell or exchange you can reach tho people of tho Roanoke and Chowan section by making the announcement through the Patiion and Gleaner. This aper goes to almost every home in Northampton where a book or paper is read, and has a general circulation in Bertie and Hertford counties. Its advertising rates are reasonable, and are made known on application.

We solicit your patronage. Inefficient Mail Service. The mail service in the Northeastern portion of the State is very inefficient at this time, especially during the past few weeks. The Patron and Gleaner is almost daily in receipt of complaints from subscribers who fail to receive their papers. Of la.e wo have been compelled to print extra copies in order to send a.

second time to those who fail to receive the first we. send out. We hope our sub scribers who fail to receive their papers will continue to report to us. To Our Correspondents. With the present mail schedule we have to go to press Wednesday afternoon in order to mail the papers on Thursday morning.

Of late many of our correspondents wait till Tuesday night or Wednesday morning to send in their com munications, consequently many are necessarily left Out every week, as all the paper cannot be set up, printed and mailed in one day. We hope more of our correspond ents will send their letters earlier, and in case anything of importance occurs later a second letter can be sent. Our Clubbing Rates. We send the Patron and Gleaner and the Atlanta Constitution, the great Southern weekly, both one year for only 81.50. See announcement of the guessiDg contest on page 4.

Send your guess and subscription to the Patron and Gleaner. Your guess will be duly forwarded in your name on blanks furnished us for that purpose. Remember you get both papers one year for only $1.50. You alse need a good State paper. We have arrangements whereby we can send the Patron and Gleaner, North Carolinian and the Parmer and Mechanic, three weekly papers, all one year for only $1.

Sowing wheat and oats still is the order of the day with the farmers of this section. Much of it is up and looking well. The sweet potato crop is very short. Occasionally a farmer has made a good crop, but they are the exceptions. The cotton crop is short, but the increased acreage put in last spring will bring the crop up to an average.

Those whom we have talked to on the subject 'say they will cut off their cotton crop next year from one-fourth to one-half. Take the county over the corn crop is very short, and the hay crop was an entire failure except German millet. CLOTHING DEPARTMENT. Do you want a suit of clothes, overcoat or mackintosh for self or boys? We invite your attention to the largest stock of these goods this side of the cities. Prices, styles and goods must please all.

W. 3. Brown, who has been confined to his bed for a few weeks, able to be up again. Some of our people attended meeting at Pleas in Grove yes terday and heard an excellent sermon by Rev. Mr.

Pant Nov. 8, 1897. M. To Cure Catarrh Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants or other local applications. Catarrh is a constitutional disease, and can be successfully treated only by means of a constituional remedy like flood 's Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly purifies the blood and removes the scrofulous taints which cause catarrh.

The great number of testi-monials from those who have been eured of catarrh by Hood's Sarsaparilla prove the unequalled power of this medicine to conquer this disease. If troubled with Catarrh give tlood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial at once. Lasker Locals. Mr. Thos.

F. Barnes' residence is about completed and he will soon move into it. Mrs. Lawrence G. Draper has been very sick for some time and her condition does not seem to improve.

TomyManyFriend8 of Northampton and Adjoining Counties: I take pleasure in telling them how to secure bargains. The, power of stores to give good value depends upon two things: HOW THEY BUY-E0T7 TEET CLL They who purchase on long time, paying bills in 60 or 90 days, cannot buy to best advantage.

They who give credit waiting three to twelve months for settlement of bills cannot sell to best ae vantage. Wo Buy for Cant, We Soil for Caah Therefore we can and do buy at low-est prices; we can and do sell at lowest prices. We are busy selling Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, ery, Groceries, and have been since we opened our new lines of fall goods. In tact our sales since the opening of the fall season has been amazing but not unexpected. There is nothing new or stylish from the looms of the best foreign and domestic mills that cannot be found in our store.

And we have taken particular care that they are priced so reasonably that the highness of the quality makes a striking contrast with the lowness of the) price. I invite you all to come and see for yourselves. Highest market prices paid for Hides ever known in the State. H. J.

M. J. S. Plain Truths. No man who looks high can live low.

The religion that cost nothing does nothing. Be a blessing ai you will be sure to receive one. Faultfinding is one of the surest marks of a backslid r. True Christianity always works well between Sundays. The oath is the devil's admis-sien that the Bible i i true.

The devil tremb es when he fiuds a good man od his knees. Things said and done in love always brings good fruit Read the Bible iuchandyou will always find it new. A good prayer mt.e ting always begins before the 11 rings. We have no more right to think wrong than we have to do wrong, The devil leads ti man who is not living for some crood object The smallest man on the face of the earth is the one who sees only himself. Ram Horn.

Don't Don't judge the picture by the frame around it Don't try to kill two birds with one stone. Use a slotgun. Don't kick a strange dog just to find out whether he is good natured or not Don't get too self important You may be jnst as wise as an owl and just as stupid. Don't expect too much of a self made man. It is probably his first attempt in the creative line.

Don't think that very sad eyed woman you meet as loved ana lost. Perhaps she loved and got him. Don't leave kind words unsaid. Tomorrow the undertaker may find it necessary to put you in his ice box. Richmonc.
