A Series of Protracted Meetings at the Thiril Baptist Church—Other News.

A series of protracted meetings are now in progress at the Third Baptist Church on south Seventh street, and sermons are delivered each evening by the Rev. Dr. Franklin. The meetings have been very well attended, and will continue during this and probably next week.

Dr. Franklin, of the Third Baptist, is organizing a jubilee club, which will leave about the first of February for a tour over the west, possibly going as far as the Pacific. The object is to raise money for the church, and it is thought the jubilee music will be well received in the West. Those who have already been selected to compose the company, which will lie made up of about twelve of the leading colored singers of the city, are Dr. and Mrs. Franklin, Miss Mattie Rattler, Mrs. Ida Davis, Miss Lettie Fisher, and Mr. Charles Cooley.

The A. M. E. Church on south Third will commence a series of protracted meetings after January 12th. On the evening of the 12th there will be a grand concert at the church. On Monday evening next, January 9th. there will be asocial at the church.

Mr. Glover will have control of the store and the business. The Superintendent will select his assistants in conducting the store. He was ill last night and was not present at the meeting. The board selected a room on Ohio street in the Savings Bank building as the best location for the store. The rent is reasonable. The store will be opened and ready for business by the 1st of February at the latest. At first only a stock of groceries will be carried. The store will be run on the same plan as private grocery houses in the city. Orders will be delivered to any part of the city, Ultimately it is expected to increase the stock to general merchandise, wholesale and retail.

The store is to be after the plan of one at Streator, 111., which for two years past has been a success. The capital stock is the same. The dividends will be paid on the stock held according to the amount of the purchases. The auditor's report will be made every half year, Dividends will be paid at the rate of per cent, per annum after the expenses are paid and 20 per cent, has been set aside as a sinking or reserve fund.

Another meeting will be held next Thursday evening, at which time the stock will be paid up and certificates issued. Each stockholder pays in addition to his $5 per share, 25 cents, which is for incidental expenses in establishing the store. All purchases are to be for cash, except that stockholders can have credit to the extent of four-fifths of their paid up stock. It is expected to open the store with a stock of staple groceries to the value of 81,000.

Death of Mr. W. H. Gilbert.

Mr. W. H. Gilbert the well known confectioner, died yesterday morning after along and painful illness of a rheumat ic nature. During the past few years he had a severe struggle with the disease and his many friends have felt sympathy for him as they saw his quiet and pa tient effort to continue at his business. When the crape was seen on the door of his Sixth street business place yesterday morning there was a general expression of regret that one of so much good character should be taken away at a time when his business prospects were bright after along effort to make them so and yet there was consolation in the knowl bdge that he was at last free from the miseries of the torturing disease that had fastened on him.

Not Our Charley Owen. i£S

Mr. Thomas Cookerly, Union depot ticket agent, received a dispatch yesterday from Assistant General Passenger Agent J. Chesbrough, of the Vandalia, stating that Charley Owen was not in Little Rock on Tuesday evening, and consequently could not have been the individual of that name who was sandbagged at that place. Charley Owen represents the Vandalia passenger department at Wichita, and his whereabouts are constantly known by Mr. Chesbrough, so that his statement would remove all doubt on the point. Several supposed inaccuracies in the Associated Press dispatch would now tend to show that the person assaulted was another individual.
