Tbe ad. Is written in an interesting manner and tells oLsome of tbe, advantages of the Buckeye grain drill.

Henderson Gold Leaf : "Mr, J. A. Gilmer will leave next week for Rich mond to take the usual course at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary. His friends part with him reluctantly, but wish him the fullest measure of success and satisfactory progress in his ministerial studies." Mr. Gilmer is well known in Guilford, being a brother to Sherfff and R.' A. Gilmer, of Greens boro, and Dr. C.S. Gilmer, of McLeans vllle. For a number of years lie has been engaged In educational work, having conducted successful schools at Morgan ton and Henderson. j; A statement has been made that some of the attorneys who lost cases at the special term of court, recently held here by Judge Timberlake, will ask th Supreme court to grant them new trials on the ground that the trials be fore Judge Timberlake were illegal. It will be remembered that the time of holding the regular June term of court came on before the business of the spe cial term was finished. Judge! Tim berlake adjourned the special term for Judge Bryan to hold tbe regularjterm, after which tbe work of the special term was resumed. It will be contend ed that this proceeding wis irregular, and that all cases triedjy Judge Tim berlake after the regular term were il legal. If tbe Supreme court should hold to this view It: would result lo much litigation having to be gone over again, besides entailing considerable cost upon the county. The city has acquired possession of tbe county jail lot, on which will be built the new cltv hall an m..,.' house. For this property the city glvs the county $6,000 and a lot on mo corner or North Greene and West Gaston streets, just north of Ht.flr.i- tobacco factory. This lot Is valued at $1,200, making the jail lot cost the city $7,200, or $43 a front foot, the lot belnr iwxiouieec me county's new lot Is a small one, but Is larea Jail purposes. It la expected that ar- raugBDBnii win De made at once for ine erection or a new jail, something that has long been needed. The executive committee of the Agricultural and Mechanical College for the colored race composed of A. M. Scales, of this city, chairman; Prof. M. C. S. Noble, Chapel Hill, and W. F. Debnam, of Raleigh was In session Saturday for the purpose of filling two vacancies In the faculty of the institu tion. Prof. Hug Dlemer, of Cincin nati, was elected to take charge of the mechanical department, and 1. 8. Cun ningham, a graduate of the class of D9, was elected foreman of the college shops. The faculty was authorized to conduct a night school for the benefit of those students who are employed on the farm. A short time ago we announced -with pleasure that the Benbow House property had finally been disposed of, thinking we were publishing an Im portant items of news, but it appears that we were laboring under a delusion. A member of the company interested stated that attorneys were engaged In drawing up the papers necessary to the transfer of the property, adding that work would begin on the new hotel in a few days. Considerable time has elapsed and no one now seems able to give any definite information in. re gard to the deal. There is considerable doubt in tbe minds of many as to who is really the owner of the property Capt. Flsber or the recently organized company. In the meantime Greens boro Is badly in need of another hotel. The committee appointed to inves tigate the charges of Immorality against Rev. J. W. Lee, the evangelist, made a final report to the quarterly conference of West Market Street church last night, and the incident Is now closed. There were two counts, or specifications, In the charges against Mr. Lee criminal intimacy with a young woman in Atlanta, and. lying. From the evidence it appeared that the charge of unlawful Intimacy with the young woman was a case of black mall, and on this count tbe evangelist was acquitted. We understand that the committee found him guilty of lying, in that he spoke of the woman In the case as his daughter. Mr. Lee explained this by saying that when he was well acquainted with a young lady It was his occasional habit to call her "daughter." So far as his church Is concerned, Mr. Lee will be permitted, to resume his labors in the evangelis tic work. A horrible accident that cost a poor fellow his life occurred near Ger manton, on the Atlantic & Yadkin di vision of the SouthernRallway short ly after midnight yesterday morning. The long freight train that was con veying John Robinson's circus from Mt. Airy1 was coming down a long grade, when tbe engineer, fearing the train would get from under his control, blew for brakes. Mr. John C. Curtis, who had been on tbe road only a short while, started to apply the brakes, but just as he arose to his feet, standing on the top of a car, he was struck squarely on the forehead by a bridge under which the train was passing. The blow mangled his head In a horri ble manner, his body being thrown back on the car. A fellow trainman saw tbe accident and hurried te Curtis, finding him breathing bis last. The body was brought to Greensboro and turned over toan undertaker, who pre pared It for burial. Tbe remains were Interred In Greene Hill cemetery this morning at 10 o'clock, the funeral ser vices being conducted by Rev. J. F. McCullock.- Mr, Curtis was twenty five years old and had lived in Greens boro for a number of years, coming here from Frankllnville. He leaves a -wife, to whom he was married some thing less than two years ago, and a baby. Catarrh. Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, a they einnot reach the seat of the disease.
