Another Rumor Afloat.
It was a slreet rumor ytsteHay that
the . steal company had offered a
northern company fifteen acres of
land if they would come to Greens
boro and build a cotton factory, and
that the company had acoep'ed the
proposition. , . v.- ! 7...
We suspected that if it ere true
that it would not be knowo yet on
the street. We learned officially this
morning .that no such contract had
been made, but if the Cteel Works
locate here, that a company was
thinking of and wou'd probably
come here and build a cotton factory.
The time is not res yet for the
general public to know what is going
to be done, and they might as well
possess tbemsslves with patience un
til they caan know definitely what is

.The Reidsville correspondent of
the Danville Register says that wag"
ons from'Alamance county are seen
almost daily in that to wn bringing
wheat to the roller flouring mill. :
A roller mill in. Greensboro is a
gjeater necessity than one is for
Reidsville, because we are nearer to
the wheat grower and farther from
the roller mills on the north. With
a roller mill at Greensboro nearly
every: bushel of wheat lent out of
Alamance county would :come here,
besides the thousands of bushels that
are now ground at a loss at the home
mills of that county. A roller mill is
a crying need for Greensboro. 7
( A Place To Be Filled.
Speaking of the election at Prpf.
Blair to the Presidency of the Peo
ple's National Bank of Winston, the
Twin-City Daily says : V 7 ;
Now since Prof. Blair,' principal
ot the Winaton Graded School,, has
been elected president of the People's
National Bank of Winston, it neces
sitates the , securing ot some able
scholar to fill his place. 7 We know
that the present school board will
art with Prof. Blair with great re
uctance, and will no doubt find it
rather a difficult task to secure a man
who will serve them as faithfully and
as welt as Prof. Blair has done." 7

A HEAVY 8T110KB ilY MAIL. I
But the Mall Train Makes lis
Way LiRluly On.
This morning- as the train came
down from Winston an occurrence
took place, which notwithstanding
the serious side of the matter, pro.
voked smiles from all the passengers
that witnessed the novel sight.
' The mail for Pomona post office is
thrown off in front of J. Van. Lin
dly's house, which is three or four
hundred yards this side of the Junc
tion, and the mail pouc'a from Po
mona is earned out and thrown into
the car, while the train is running,
sad sometimes the traio is making
very good speed by the lime it gets in
front of Pomona.
This morning as Guerney Boren
who had carried out tho pouch and
was standing by the road to receive
the mail from off the train, received
it in a very unexpected wsy. .
The mail agent in the car threw off
the poach with so much force, whioh
striking Mr. Boren on the head felled
him to the ground and lor some time
was not able to get up. One of the
passengers who looked back and
saw him, said that he lay as if dead
(or sometime, but after a little sat up
and rubbed himself and then' picked
himself and mail bag up and went
staggering off toward the Office.
The train mad no stop nor halt,
but catne chattering ; merrily ou' as
though it enjoyed the , accident as
much aa the passengers did .when
they saw Mr. Boren ariae and walk
off. - V.
A Silt test too -
We would suggest to our contem
porary, The Twin-City Daily, that
its publication of the official report
of the killing of Geneva Boyd, by
accident, on the Salem Branch,
should have been credited to The
Daily Workman, from which it was
taken. "7
Greensboro is twenty-eight miles
estf of Winston-Salem, and is of
some note as a railroad center, a- to
bacco market, and has had an im
mense trade in dried huckleberries,
rabbit-skins and old castings.

Off for School. 7
Mr. Carl Weatherly, who lives
about three miles from Greensboro
on the South, will take the north
bound train to nieht lor Eastman
College, whither he goes to take a
business course. It was only Moi
day night that two other Guilford
boys took train for tame school.
The Workman wishes their so
journ in the north to be as pleasant tfl
we trust it will be profitable.
7 No Use in Talking.
Mr. H. B. Tatum killed two pork
ers some days ago that weighed 665
pounds, They were.well fatted and
produced at least 200 pounds of lard.
. It has become a common thing to
our citizens to raise large porkers,
Weighing from 250 to 450 pounds,
and as to sausage meat and crack
lings, there's "no use in talking." 7

A traveliog gentleman who hap
pened to hear about Wesley Smith,
took such a fancy to him that he left
a present here to be delivered to him
Among the peculiarities of Wesley
Smith is that no man has ever sus
pected him .of telling an untruth or
appropriating to his own use the
property of another. Another pe
culiarity of his is, that while a num
ber of people who have abundant
reason to be contented are always
groaning over their mistottunes,
Wesley says he is the happiett man
in Greensboro.
The Danville Register, in noting
that three divorces were granted at
one term of eoutt at Durham, says
that "marriage seems to be some
thing of a failure in that section." I
seems to us that marriage is not ne
cessarily a failure the failure is in'
some of the people.
