' Others Think h ia Only Mad.
The trial ot Otto Nerwis,; ' whose
lively behavior was noted in yester
day's News, attracted a great crowd
to the mayor's court room this morn
ing. Nerwis had spent the night in
a cell and when brought into the
court room he had lost his belliger
ency ol the previous day, but there
was a dogged look ot defiance In his
eyeJThe court room was packed.
Mayor McDowell occupiedlus usual
seat, and .Nerwis was brought into
the room by officers through the
door opening into the prison corri
dor.'Jle Js a tall, muscular man,
and looks every inch the athlete.
His hsir Is. slightly curly and his
complexion is almost bloodless. He
came into the court room in bis usual
suit ol dark colored pants, dark vest
and brown woolen shirt. He wore
no coat. I lis hat wu hrtniy pulled
dowa over his head as be took his
seat The mayor ordered him to
take ofl his hat. but the only reply
was a cynical smile, and officer Mor
ris had to take the bat from his bead.
The trial of Nerwis wai then proceed
ed with, the policemen giving in their
evidence. , Nerwis sat dumb through
out the whole proceeding, sever ask
ing a question and aevcr answering
one, though several were addressed
to him. . Once while sergeant Jetton
was giving la his testimony, Nerwis
smiled fcintly. There were three
charges against Nerwb, ooe for re
fusing to comply with the sanitary
Sws, another lor interfering with the
anitary policeman, and a third for
Meaalling the officerar ;Th mayor
fined him fso as each case, making a
total fine of iijo, and ordered him to
be tamed over to the sheriff" and kept
hi confinement en til the fine k paid.
Nerwis neither moved nor spoke
when the fine was jxoeounced. Af
ter court adjourned several parties
who were drawn to the man by sym
pathy tried to Induce him to talk,
but he would not opea hie mouth.
He was escorted to Jail by chief of
police Griffith and sergeant Jetton,
but he did not again spit ba the chiefs
face. He went iaea odd snanner.
At first he started out at a race horse
walk, and the officert had to pal
him back and ask him to go slower.
Then he went along on tip-toe, hot
walking briskly. A big crowded
treet urchins followed in the wake.

others hold that he is only' mad.

to-day, and in reply to a question
said that be was not crazy. He also
said that he did not intend to pay

that unless Nerwis pays, be will have

iYsam.Agwt, , - .","
This is the twenty-fourth anniver
sary of a day that will always be re
membered by the , people of the
South the anniversary day of the
clostngjicene at Appomattox Court
House, wheTihe limninir&rXecT
army laid down their arms to return
to their desolate homes. The war
was over then, but war still waged
in North Carolina, for Sherman and
Stoneman i were facing the feeble
forces in this State. " Oa the 13th of
April, (bur days following Lee's surr
render,; Stoneman captured and in
vested Salisbury," ; and his torch
created S pile of flame that lighted
the country for miles around. The
fine passenger depot and great shed
of the North Carolina Railroad Com
pany, the finest the State has ever
had, were burned, together with the
railroad shops, the Mt, Vernon Ho
tel and the commissary buildings and
the prison, hospital, &c The Yad
kin. river bridge was saved by a
Confederate battery that was planted
on a high hill commanding the
bridge The Federals made several
attempts to destroy the bridge, but
the shelling was too hot for them.
At High Point a lew days before,
Stoneman horsed 1,700 bales of cot
ton - belonging to F. and H. Fries.
While all these scenes were being
enacted among we. an incident oc
curred that threw the whole country
into a lever of excitement.'" ft "was
the assaasiniition of President Lin
cola, in the theatre ia Washington,
oa April 14th.
Oa April iSth, the armistice be
tween Gens. Johnston and Sherman
began at Greensboro, and was con
duded oa April sSth, when the Con
federates dispersed to their homes
and began making their crop. They
had a lam start, with poor stock aad
improvised implements, yet good
crops were ' snade aS through the
State that' summer. Those were
tuning times indeed, and saeasories
of Stonemaa'a torch are still fresh

SPRING
ANNOUNCEMENT.
' WE congratulate our customers and friends upon the return of the tl
genial Spring Season. It is always a pleasant relief to exchange the heavier r
and more sombre apparel of winter for the lighter, and never has fashion
set her seal upon goods for the season so attractive and tasteful as they are
at the present time. The very best advertisement of our goods would be
the goods themselves, could they be sent around for general inspection.
As this is impossible we fall back on the faithful types to assist us to
describe in some measure the chief feature of our Spring Stock, By way . -of
preliminary we may say that we have brought our long business expe- ' -riencc
aod knowledge of local tastes, to the selection of the goods we offer ,
and with a result which we hope will be as gratifying to our customers -
as to ourselves. The extent of our stock is unusually large and the variety ,
offered in styles and the materials are so wide that we think we can scarcely -..
tiil of satisfying! every intending purchaser. In, every department our
1t0ck.wilJ.be found tobejmpletexji9thing having been neglected in our ' '
efittlo make it the most'complete assortienl bl goods ever oftered to the
trading public ot this locality. In making our selection we have realized (
that to the quality of . the goods sold we must look for the building up ot ,
that confidence between buyer and seller so essential td a commercial suc
cess and permanence. Our customers will find that in respect to quality v
our stock has no superior, if any rival, our policy-being to sacrifice a margin
of our profits rather than sacrifice the confidence of our customers in the
goods we tell. Some rather unusual opportunities have been offered to s
watchful buyers to secure bargains in some ol the desirable standard lines,
Xhcse we have taken advantage of and customers will find that our prices .
are unusually low, relative to the value ol the goods we ofler. We aim .
to satisfy all classes of buyers, and our stock therefore includes the variety
of grades which have correspondingly varied prices. We desire to be ..
known for cheapness, but we handle no cheap goods, that fa to say, we ' .
give even in low price grades the very best article the market affords fer tile
money. It is a shoruighted policy for any merchant to make a repu V
tation tor low priced goods at the expense of his reputation for values. No
article is really CHEAP which will not return the buyer the foil value of ?
the money expended in its purchase. Our steady aim is to satisfy buyers, .?
not only by alluring bargains, but by thfe satisfaction that comes in goods
that wear and stand the test of actual use. I the matter ot Novelties we t
think our stock will leave nothing to be desired. By being early in the
market we secured the early choice of styles and patterns which always
gives the buyer the advantage of picking up such seasonable novelties as ,
are soon exhausted, if they prove desirable to purchasers. We commend
to our customers our own method, that ot early selection, as it follows in
cases that the patterns which are moat fancied are the soonest exhausted, r
We speak with conviction when we say that we do not think any previous :
seams has sees a more invitixg display of goods than those to which we ,
direct attention) and of which we invite your inspection. And we are sure
that it will be a matter of general surprise and congratulation among buy r
era that we are able to offer so large a choice, and such excellent quality .
lor price that are remarkable for their moderation, .
