Arey was ordered to be taken to jail, and deputy Brim leu with him last night for Sails bury to deliver him into the hands 01 tne laiior ot Rowan county, to serve his term. Arey also has to pay over $25,000 in fine and costs, tbe amount of his distillers bond ne naa oeen given abont six ri 1 1 t months indulgence since his plea ot guilty at btatesville court, to ar range his business, escape tbe hot weather and raise the large amount of cash. When October second ar rived Judge Boyd declined to hear to any further extension of the time. Only five thousand dollars of the $25,000 had been paid up to last night. It is reported that Arey's lawyers have been trying to get the sen tence and- fine remitted at Wash ington and were working a sort of a bluff on the court, but it seems that such things have played out in tbis district at last.

PORTRAIT OF GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE The fact that too frequently it transpires in American history that no accurate and authentic portrait of her great men is faith fully preserved has caused a num ber of the devoted admirers of General Robert E. Lee to interest themselves to cause a perfect pic ture of the great General to be made and to be preserved for all future history. This work, after a lapse of forty years, is now under way by the John A. Lowell Bank Note Com pany, of Boston, who are using for this purpose tbe exact photDgraph made at Geueral Lee's residence in Richmond a few days after the surrender, which picture has al ways been considered by the Lee family and friends as the most perfect likeness ever taken of the General at that period. The work, when finished, will be of the highest art of steel en graving, so that it will thus be preserved for all future time. Washington Post. RESULTS J.
