GUILFORD BATTLE
GROUND. 7
of the city
spot where
of
on
; Five miles north
Greensboro is the
March 15th, 1781, our forefathers
under General Greene met and did
battle with the Hessians under Lord
Cornwallis, who two days iater fled to
Wilmington and soon after surren
dered at Yorktown.
About ten years ago several of the
most prominent gentlemen of Greens
i boro desiring to fitly perpetuate the
memories of this event, organized the
Guilford Battle Ground Company, In
corporated, . which embraces in its
membership many of the most prom
inent men of this and ad joining states,
and set about to beautify the spot
made sacredj to the memory of those
who fell.
Beautiful driveways were laid but,
the springs cared for, pavilions erect
ed, and an artificial lake constructed
fed by waters from numerous springs,
cottages were built, one for the keep
er and one for the officers- of the com
pany, and a fire proof museum build
ing in which are kept many relics of
the Revolutionary period.
Several handsome monuments have
been erected to : the soldiers and
statesmen of that time.
The State of North Carolina makes
if
an annual appropriation to aid in the
keeping of the grounds, and once the
National Government gave material
aid to this end.
The Atlantic & Yadkin Railway
runs through the battlefield and has
a station there for the accommodation
of the thousands of visitors who have
come from almost every State in the
Union to see this historic spot.
The Guilford Battle Ground serves
as a park and picnic ground for the
city of Greensboro, and on J uly 4th
of each year from ten to twenty thou
sand people gather to hear speakers
of state and national repute.
The credit of preserving this beau
tiful spot in commemoration of the
gallant dead whose dust now mingles
with the earth from whence it sprung,
is largely due Judge David Schenck
and Major Joseph M. Morehead. Their
efforts are, appreciated by a grateful
nation.

The Greensboro Hardware Company
was established in 1897, in which year
they succeeded the Daniel Hardware
Company, one of the oldest houses in
the city.
The Greensboro Hardware Company

for their business watchword " tho

knowing that merit would compel
recognition, they bought the best pro
ductions of the best makers and in
pursuance of this policy selected the
Osborne farm machinery as the most
perfect farm machinery devised by
those who have made a study of this
class of mechanics. The Osborne mow
ers, harvesters and binders combine
in one all the" desirable qualities of
the other makes and also embody
more originality in construction than
any machine ever seen in the harvest
field. To summarize, these machines
combine strength, lightness and effi
ciency. They are cheap fromi the
standpoint that the best is always the
cheapest, and the farmer who buys
" Osborne " machinery feels when he
pays for it that through its aid he has
b.een able to solve to his satisfaction
the oft propounded query, Does farm
ing pay?-During 1898 the Greensboro
Hardware Company sold eleven Os
borne mowers and twelve binders
In addition to farm machinery this
company carries a full line of farm
implements of alLkinds, and builders,
shelf, and heavy hardware, cutlery,
tools, gunsj sporting goods, hollow and
woodenware, and stoves. Among the
latter are Buck's Regal Cook, with
adjustable top shelf.
" Buck's Emblem Cook is a' stove that
makes the buyer glad that he bought
that kind. ' The ware-rooms of the

and in 1893 opened at Dr. Glenn's old
stand, 103 South Elm street, where he
still keeps, and began the upbuilding
of his present large trade.

line ' of pure, fresh chemicals, I and

many who know the Cunningham
Brothers and have had the pleasure to
deal with them.
Messrs. J. M. and C. D. Cunningham
are the proprietors of this business,
both natives of Greensboro who have
grown up to serve their - fellow citi
zens and by their business methods
have gained the respect and . admira
tion of all. t .
They entered the coal and wood
business in 1895, where the new
Southern Railway freight depot now
stands, and about three years ago
removed to their present location, 345
South Davie Street, where the busi
ness and facilities have been increased
from time to time as was warranted
by the demand.
For the careful unloading of the
cars they have erected a coal chute to
prevent the coal from breaking, and
have sheds with a storage capacity of
five hundred tons. They use alto
gether thirteen wagons, and conduct
a city dray line for the hauling of
freight and expressage to and from
the business houses.
They purchase coal in lots of ten to
twenty-five car loads at a time and
handle only the best Pennsylvania
Anthracite and the Bituminous coal
coming from the best Tennessee and
Virginia mines. They are also large
dealers in fire and kindling wood, the
latter being made of rich fat pine.
Orders are promptly delivered in al
parts of the city and surroundings.
Mr. J. M. Cunningham is engaged
in the United States Revenue Service,
while -his brother, Mr. C. D. Cunning
ham, has entire supervision of the
business.
It is with pleasure that we com
mend this firm to the people ol
Greensboro and speak for their busi

J. N. LONGEST.
Contractor and Builder.
Mr. Longest is one of Greensboro's
most popular and active contractors
and builders. He has fairly won a
foremost position among the builders
of the State. In early life Mr. Longest
acquired a thorough knowledge of his
profession under John Denny, of Gra
ham, N. C, one of the best known
builders of his day. In 1887 Mr.
Longest entered the busines arena as
a contractor and builder. Just prior
to this time he was in charge of the
construction of the North State tobac
co factory at Reidsville, N.1 C, jand had
the building up "to the "second story
when he resigned the superintendency
to embark in business on his own ac
count. .
His first operations were the erec
tion ofa number of fine residences and
business blocks in Reidsville. ' Among
tho latter were the Doggett and Har
ris blocks. He also built the Reids
ville M. E. Church, South, a handsome
edifice costing j $15,000. During the
five years Mr. Longest was in busi
ness in Reidsville he virtually erected
the buildings that now comprise the
town. In 1892 j he moved to Greens
boro and has since that time built
many of the finest residences that
adorn the residential sections j of the
city. Among them are the homes of
Mrs. Fanny Ross, Captain J. H. Gille
land, J. B. Stroud, Turner Rankin, J.
C. Murchison, Dr. George W. Whitsett,
Robert Akins, Hardy Gregory and O.
Williams. Mr.; Longest has during
the past two years been engaged in
extensive building operations a Pine
hurst, N. C, the Yankee paradise that
James W. Tufts, of Boston, Mass., has
dropped down in the health-giving
pines of the Southland, j At this pop
ular winter resort he j erected the
Holly Inn, one of the most attractive
hotels in the South, in which' no mod
ern convenience is wantinpy besides 3
department store, school building,
town hall and many residences' there
Much of Mr. Longest's success in hia
vocation can be attributed to the fact
that he has departed fromj tjie old
time-worn style of architecture and
introduced changes new, pleasing and
attractive to this community.

S. E. HUDSON.
Groceries and Country Produce.'
This business was established in
1872 by the present proprietor. The .
location was then on Elm . street,
opposite the present store. Mr. Hud
son started in a small way but by
strict attention to business and
always selling good, reliable goods at
rock-bottom prices he soon acquired
a large trade which . increased as the -years
went, by until it attained such
large proportions as to render the
facilities-and accommodations afford
ed by the original store entirely inad
equate to the demands of his increas
ed business. Determined to have an
up-to-date store and one that would
meet the requirements of his trade -and
be a valuable addition to the com
mercial houses of the cityrMr. Hud
son in 1895 bought the property 513
South Elm street and erected thereon
the two-story brick building which
he now occupies. It is 25 by 94 feet
in dimensions and well adapted for -the
purposes for which It is used and
conveniently fitted up.
It would be impossible to name all
the goods carried by this house.
Among them are groceries, provisions, .
teas, coffees, spices, canned Jind
potted goods, table luxuries, and
household necessities. A high stan
dard of excellence is always main- '
tained.
The Valley Mills' Best Patent and
' Carnation " flour are acknowledged
to be the par excellence of flours and
will make more and whiter bread
than any flour on the market and
bread that retains the nutritious
properties of the wheat. Mr. Hudson
gives his personal attention to the -
f business and with .the aid of four
assistants is enabled to give " prompt
attention to his patrons, among whom
sare numbered many of the leading
families of Greensboro., and vicinity. -Goods
are delivered free and no pains
are spared to retain old customers and
gain new ones, which the "store on
the hill " is doing every day.
