Another Member of The Courier Contest Party Tells of Things that Impresssed Her Most At the Great Exposition. As you all know there were sev eral that entered the Asheboro Courier Contest that woo the much desired Jamestown trip. Where we had fancied and dreamed of the beautiful sites and grand scenes of old historic Jamestowa and Virginia, but these were only imaginations compared with the real to the ma jority of us. Our chaperone gave us note-books and asked us to take note of the thiugs of most interest, to us; but friends let me tell you, I knew we would not have long to Btay there, and there were too many things for me to tee to stop looking long enough to take notes. 1 just saw so much (but I am going to tell you about some things). 1 wish every one of you that helped me could go too. During the day we visited the Government buildings. Among the things of interest here were the old time war implements, the can nons mounted on rude wagons, the horses and mules arrayed with the harness of that day and packed ready for travel. The soldiers in their uniforms, and showing how they cooked their food. Iu oue of theBe buildings who should we come iu contact with but Capt. John Smith and his crew trading with the Indians. This illustrates their generosity in dealing with ihe whites who were kind to them. One Indian has presented an Eng lishman with a plate of persimmons and they all seem amused when he tests them and leaves the impression on his face they are not a very pal atable dish. In the Manufacturer's Building we saw the Waltham Watch Com pany's department, where every thing that it takes to make the wonderful little piece of machinery to keep the time asexrected. In this is a glass case containing 9,000 Waltham watches ruiued by the San Francisco lire. Here was also exhibited a silk tlag made and pre Bented to the united States by Tur kish Orphans, also another silk flag struck a telephoue pole and he wu of a beautiful color presented toithrowu under the train. Before the United States by France in sym-1 leaving his home at Asheville ht patby at the death ot President I wrote a letter for his wife telling Lincoln. Another interesting and ! antique exhibit was a real Hint oo j w''h her. She visited attorneys for Temple, carved aud built of puie advice, telling them that a lady in Mahogony wood that cost $40,000. Charlotte had won her husbands af I do not remember the height,, but factions from her. Upon her return there was a small room down stairs nom "be received intelligence of with the furniture in it, then two j the accident, winding stairways (where you would! almost meet yourself, coming down) with a small room at the head. We then visited the Fish build ing, where all kinds of fish were ex hibited iu different apartments' with rocks, Band, shells and plenty of clear water to swim in. I am sure this would be very interesting to some of our famous Randolph ang lers. Our next move was to the State Buildings. These are magnifi cent buildings, well furnished, some with ancient furniture and tapestry, all had comfortable and inviting parlors, but you all know we felt most at home when we reacneoine uiu iNorin state iunu- ing. Then, we could sit on the . piazza aud see in the dutauce across the ben u tit ii 1 bay roitress Monroe and Old Point Comfort. The Ken tucky Building was a reproduction of Daniel Boone's home, surrounded by a rustic fence aud small cabins, this reminds one of the early Pio neer days. The Rhode Island building was also very interesting. Another building of very great interest was the Pure Food Establishment, where you find everything good to eat in the different stages of preparation. At night we visited the War Path, I will only speak of a few of the most interesting attractions there. First, the midnight ride of Paul Revere was very impressive and am sure stirred every patriotic heart. Princess Trixie amused all by her taut and skill. She spelt words correctly, told the time ex actly to the minute and selected colors remarkably. During tin- Cimtinue'l on N.-xi I'm!" GRADED SCHOOL BANNER.

These co a ereat way I planting seed for good citizenship Already a great rivalry ha sprang up among the pupils and the move ments of the banner will be closelv wacthed by every patron tend friend of the school.

We take the following from the Salisbury Evening Post: The High Point, Statesville aud Concord Telephone Companies pro pose to build a long distance tele phone line connecting these cities with each ocher which involves the extension of the line through Salis bury. This line will be built of copper and will be first class in ev ery particular. These companies will ask the al dermen for a franchise for the pur pose of building the line through Salisbury and to place a toll board in the city. It is not the intention to build an exchange here but to place a limi.ed number of telephones in the more prominent business houses, for toll pursposes only and m rental charge will be made fr the telephones so pi iced.

Blair who was tried at Columbia to. C, Saturday for the murder of her husband, Capt. Mc Culley W. Blair, at their home on Marion Street, iu Columbia on Jan uary 17, of this year. The jury was out from about 11:30 o'clock Saturday night, and an agreement ws not reached until 11:50 Sunday morning. The jury was divided, nine being for murder and two for manslaugh ter and one for acquittal. The ver dict rendered was accepted as a com promise. Mrs. Blair, who is about 30 years of age, and the mother of two child ren, is an unusually handsome woaian and both she and her hue band stood well ia their community. The pena'ty for the crime, of which the defendant is declared guilty is from two to thirty years in the penitentiary. As yet the court has not passed sentence" When she was brought into the cent room there were no visible sisns of the ordeal th a she had just i'. k"IUUK"' V" ncar.ng tne sea tnrougn, oat on veruict Airs.

Coming on to the traffic evei.t of January 17th, with Hushing faC3 aud flashing eye, she t.ld ot the cir cumstances of that awful struggle. That is, she said it was ii struggle.

From ti.is the quarrel started. She went into Mrs. Neal'g room and fainted. Her husband coming in iftershe was revived. Then they both went to thei: own bed room. Oaptaiu Blair reachedfor the revolver but she beat him to it, standing with it over her head. The setiMe. fol lowed and the revolver was tired. She could not say in her excited con dition how many times it fired. She did not know till afterward that Captain Blair was injured mid never saw him again alive. On across examination she denied maey of the statements she had made to the coroner, saying she was excited at that time. The feature of the difference was that she swore, juht after the shootm, that when the revolver fired the two had hold of the weapon below her waist, whereas the bul.'et nten d above the waist and ran red .I'wnward, nor were there an powder buns on hr unron, in the folds of which she' at the iuinest, the weapon w ta bled when it was :iiv.l.
