C, Feb. 10. Mr. Eu gene H. Bean, of this city, was one of the successful applicant at Raleigh this week for license to practice law. Mr. John W. Williams, of Richmond, Va., has arrived in Salisbury to take the position of assistant superintend ent of the Virginia Life Insurance Com pany in this territory. . The Salisbury and Spencer K. of P. lodges are arranging to jointly cele brate "Pythian Big Night," on the ev ening of the 17th inst. Salisbury is delighted at the selec tion by Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Miss Mary Ramsey, of this city, as one of the sponsors for North Carolina at the coming reunion of Confederate Vet erans at New Orleans. The Odd Fellows of Granite Quarry, one of Rowan's thriving villages, have agreed to bear the expense of length ening the free school term at that place. This is a commendable step on the part of the members of the local lodge at that place. A -University Alumni Association will be organized here next week. This is to be done through the efforts of Walter Murphy, Esq., a graduate of an enthusiastic U. N. C. man. The Orphanage Committee of the Jr. O. U. A. M. held a meeting last night and took steps to further Salis bury's interests in behalf of securing the proposed orphanage of the North Carolina Juniors. A committee will make a canvass of the city soliciting contributions. Some weeks ago it was told in this correspondence of the big amount of cotton raised by Mr. H. Clay Grubb on his farms in . Davidson county, just across the river. .Mr. Grubb does all I1I3 traveling and hauling to this cfty via the Piedmont Toll Bridge and it is learned that his tolls at this bridge amount to between $200 and ?30o a year, Mayor Boyden Eas instructed the po lice to arrest all persons found on the streets intoxicated to the extent of staggering. Heretofore the man with wobbly legs was given much rope so long as he did not reach the boisterous stage, but he will in, the future have to "brace up" when he appears on the "cough up."
