One night last week some one, in search of fresh hog meat, stole a pig from Rev. Dr. L. W. Crawford which had been killed and nicely dressed.

Robson, the author, has our thanks for a copy of his book, "How a One-Legged Rebel Jjlves. The little book contains interesting reminiscences of the Civil war, includ ing a story of the campaigns of Stone wall Jackson. It also contains the complete regimental rosters of both the great armias at Gettysburg. ' Mr. Robson is now Tn the city canvassing for the book, which is well worth the small price asked for it 50 cents. ' i Two men were before Justice. Eckel a few da js ago charged with the de struction of their own property. It appeared that a tenant occupied a dwelling house belonging to them, and upon his persistent refusal to either pay the rent or vacate the premises the owners tore down the building as a means of ridding themselves of the un desirable tenant. The justice decided against the defendant, who was the tenant, charging him with the costs. The annual stock-taking in a big dry goods store generally brings out the fact that there are too many goods on hand in some lines, and such was the case at Thacker & Brockmann's this year. There are too many men's Prin ter shoes, too many children's shoes, too much woollen dress goods, and - a great many odd pairs of shoes of all kinds, remnants of dreas goods, prints and ginghams, woollen underwear, etc. To, clear these goods but in a hurry very low prices will be put on them less than cost in many cases and it wljl pay you to go and look them Over and pick up some bargains. For some time trouble has. been brewing in the city fire department, and to such an extent has it gone that the life and usefulness of the depart ment is threatened. One company has tendered its resignation to the mayor and other members of the department are complaining of improper treat ment on the part of some one. At a, department meeting last nighttbe act ing chief was Instructed to appoint a committee to confer, with a similar committee from the board of aldermen in regard to reorganizing the fire 'de partment. It is probable that this joint committee will . be able to settle the matter to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. Mr. Harry Clinton Hill, a promi nent young business man of Buffalo, N. Yn spent Saturday night and a part of Sunday in Greensboro. He was returning from a prospecting tour to another town, but when he walked around and took in a portion of our city he added Greeasboro to his list of good towns. It is his intention te re turn in a few weeks and make a more thorough investigation of the many advantages Greensboro has to offer We have no doubt that the favorable impression created on this short visit will be increased when he shall have more time to consider the possibilities of our thriving city. To all such Greensboro extends a hearty welcome. Deafness Cannot "be Cured . ' by LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as theycanmot niirh th iiuui nnrtinn of th ear.
