I While it has not been officially an
nounced, it is presumed that the pur
chase of the Atlantic & Danville road
by the Southern will result in the traf
fic for Norfolk going over that road
instead of over the North Carolina
road and the Atlantic Coast Line from
kalma to Pinner Pnlnr. a at nriant
: t -p.--
The distance from Greensboro to1 Nor
folk over the Atlantic & j Danville Is
fifteen or twenty miles less than over
the Coast Line, and in addition to this
the trackage arrangement with the
Coast Line would be done away with.

been conducted at the Friends church
by Evangelist T. C. Hodgin closed last
night. The services have been attend

Mr. Hodgin's preaching is not like that

for which that church has jbeen noted.

dox, but his predemlnatlng theme is
sanctlflcatlon, and he never falls to
stress the Importance of this doctrine

somest buggies in the county. Over

were taken, and this is evidence of the
fact that it was a popular scheme.
We are informed that! the bridge
across South Buffalo, on the road lead
ing out by Alamance church,-about

complaint was first made, a gentleman
living near the bridge was directed to
make the necessary repairs and pre
sent his bill to the county for the same.
He reported that the bridge was not in
an unsafe condition, but open further
complaint being made It was inspected
by several persons, under the direction
of the commissioners. i ! I

When Sir William Vernon Har

twenty-seven years since, and relin
quish tdlils private practice, he was
earning at the bar an annual Income
of $70,000. His official salary for the

article on -British Statesmen as Wage,
Earners," which Henry W. Lucy will

It takes a very strong, substantial
shoe to stand op and last any length of
time under the rough usage of a Gull-
ford county farm. Flanky, shoddy,
poorly made shoes go right topleces,
and the farmer who buys them has to
buy very often and even then is always
poorly shod. There are two makes of
home-made shoes sold by Thacker A
Brockmann the Elkln, N. C, and, the
Gainesville, Ga lines, which have
stood the test for years and never failed
to give satisfaction. A number of
farmers who have used these shoes re
port that they wear one palrfor twelve
months, which is certainly a record to
be proud of, Thacker fc Brockmann
have just opened a fresh stock of both
these makes of shoes in men's, boy's,
women's and children's sizes.
The September number of "The

termed -The Timely Topic Number,"

Vance Thompson, with such photo
graphs of aerial places of amusement
as were never printed before, an article
on the French Spying System by a
former chief of a department of the
French Secret Police, and a story of
the mountain fends of Kentucky, told
by a well-known Kentucklan, Col, J.
Stoddard Johnston; Aside from this
there is much excellent fiction and the
usual number of profusely Illustrated
and Interesting special articles.
Mr. J. S. Cox, receiver of the Bank
of Guilford, filed a report of his re
ceipts and disbursements in the Supe
rior court last Saturday morning. He
asked to be allowed to pay depositors
a portion of their deposits, and after
hearing the report read Judge Brown
ordered him to pay the depositors 40
per cent, of their deposits. This order
applies to those accounts that have
been adjusted. The receiver will be
ready to pay out the amounts after
October2nd. We understand that an
effort Is being made to settle the affairs
of the bank that are about to get Into
further litigation, and If this is done
the suits that have been brought
against the sureties of the cashier,
teller and book-keeper, will be with
drawn. However the suit to recover
