GREENSBOROI'N C TUESJiAi:, SEPTEMBEE 15,. 1885.
No. 86,
— Mr. Geo. Lampman, of Ohio, is
at the Benbow House. He moved
from Ohio for the benefit ^ his
family’s health, and will open a
jewelry store in this place. We
welcome all such comers.
—Oliver Staley, who lives about a
mile and a half from Julian, on the C.
F. t'c V. V- Railroad, shows a stalk
of com seventeen feet and one inch
high. There are plenty of stalks in
tlie same field very nearly as high as
that one. *
—Rev. J. R. Jones, who lives at
Summerfield, in this* county, has had
fine experience^ with clover. He
sowed five acres in March, without
any fertilizer, and cut from the
ground the last of August two tons
of clover hay.
—President Gray and Col. J. M.
Rose went down to Fayetteville this
morning.
Gov^ '■Jc.ulc.i
returned to Raleigh this morning
from, this place.
—Capt. J. M. Odell, of Concord,
was here to-day, to attend the
funeral of Mr. Curtis.
—George S. Bradshaw, Esq,, of
Asheboro, has been here to-day, but
left for home this afternoon.
—R. P. Gray, Sec’y and Treasurer
of the North State Improvement
Company, and J. K. Williams, Treas
urer of tire C. F. & Y. V. Railroad,
are paying ofi' the employees of the
C. F. & Y. V. R R- to-day, between
this place and Fayetteville.
—News has been received here - of
the death of Perry L. Shepherd, who
lived near Gibsonville. He was a
merchant and did his trading, here.
We are without any further particu
lars, except that his death occurred
yesterday evening. Articles for
burying purposes were procured from
I our dealers here to day.
j S'dl'--'. (cAScnnlb
j Carolina, who has been lecturing in
this State and South Carolina in the
interest of temperance, delivered one
of her lectures at the Benbow Hall
last evening on the above named sub
ject-. Mrs. Chapin is a very suc
cessful lecturer, we understand, and
highly pleased her audience last
night, which was a large one.
Our Loss.—The death of such a
man as the late Dennis Curtis, whose
funeral occurred to day, and whose
body was committi^i to the dust in
Greenhill cemetery, brings no com-
I mon loss to his family and church,
j and to the community at large. The
i tribute to his worth—-a brief memoir
; read from the late pas-
j tor—was a very just .uid satisfactory
! accountofTihe life th.it had just closed,
I and yet none but those who were
I
Gntimate with the deceased could so
fully appreciate the finer touches
that were given to .his character.
Busy as was his life, and burdened
as it was with muluform cares and
the crosses from v.hich none are
free, there was no 'irneof the day
when he was not re.'.dy to speak on
the subject of perso lal religion, and
evince the joy with'which his spirit
drank continually r.iprm the wells of
salvation. In this matter there were
but few like him— too few in any
community. We c?:^, not, therefore,
SLifi'er the occasion ho pass without
saying something in praise of a man
whose worth was sr-* great, who ex
hibited in his daily life a virtue so
rare and yet so ne'essary to men.
No community has many such char
acters to spare, and .in the time tb
come we shall reali/.-: the fact more
fully than we can now.

Mr. Jenkins was formerly Postmaster

—So much is the country stirred
up in the matter of architectural im
provement that even the ancient
town of Hillsboro is building and re
modelling to a wonderful extent. The
lumber used this year in buildings of
various kinds is enormous, and the
'Sum of all the work of carpenters,
masons, plasterers and painters has
far exceeded anything in the ebun
try’s annals.
—Rev. Mr. Allison, of Mebane-
ville, has a beautiful and substantial
walking stick, which was obtained

ed to the present owner, who
prizes it veiy highly, partly trom the
fact that it is an elegant and sub
stantial cane, and partly because it
came from Geneva, the city of John
Calvin, the highest human authoiity
among Presbyterians.

Correctlo.v.—The announcement
made in these columns yesterday that
Dr. Smith would preach a temper
ance frermon next Sabbath, makes
the mistake of calling the season “the
centennial of Presbyterian work in
America,” wfiereas it should be the
centennial of Temperance work, this
being the looth year since Dr. Rush
gave to the world his celebrated views
on the effects of alcohol on the hu
man system. The occasion has no
relation to Presbyterian work, and
Dr. Smith’s sermon, which will no
doubt be a very good one, will be on
Temperance.
The Methodist Parsonage is now
completed, and will be opened for
the reception of visitors on Tuesday
evening next, (the 15th in^t.,) at 7
o’clock. The ladies of the Parsonage
Aid Society invite the general public,
as well as the friends who have from
time to time manifested their kindly
interest in the enterprise by their
generous aid, to meet at the Parson
age on that occasion to spend a
pleasant evening in social intercourse,
and to enjoy the excellent vocal and
instrumental music prepared for the
entertainment of the guests. The
ladies wiil serve ice cream, cake,
sherbet, chicken-salad, etc., at the
usual prices for the jpenefit of the
Parsonage.
