Miss Douglas is one of the most attractive young women of the state and has a large number of friends who will learn of her approaching marriage with interest. From the Lexington Dispatch we learn that Dr. J. J. Thames, a promi nent physician of that town, will lo cate in Greensboro. From the number of physicians that have recently settled in Greensboro our city must have the reputation abroad of being a very un healthy place, when the fact. Is It Is one of the healthiest places In the country. However, all new-comers, including the doctors, are accorded a hearty welcome. Your attention is invited to the advertisement of Smith & Murohison, which appears in this issue. These young gentlemen are just start! ngin business and are anxious to build up a large trade. Their store Is located on the hill south of the railroad, and their stock of staple and fancy groceries is varied and complete.

He was assisting in lifting some heavy timbers when a handspike slipped and struck him on the right leg. breaking and crushing both bones between the knee and ankle. He was brought to his home in this city immediately after the accident and attended by two phy sicians, who set the broken limb. Mr. Barker is getting along- as well as could be expected, though he suffers a great deal of pain and will probably be confined to his room for quite a while. Last week we announced that Rev. C. A. G. Thomas had resigned the pas torate of the Fayettevllle Baptist church. From the Fayettevllle Obser ver we learn that a congregational meeting was held Sunday to take ac tion on the resignation, and after a few remarks by some of the official mem bers of the church, the congregation voted not to accept it. His friends in Greensboro are not surprised that Mr. Thomas ia held in such high esteem by the Fayettevllle Baptists. 1 j : A number of Presbyterians from this secf Ion are In Asheville attending' the Synod of North Carolina, which convened In that city last night, j The following are among those in attend ance : Revs. C.

M The contest for the Chattanooga chilled plow recently inaugurated by the Greensboro Hardware Company has withdrawn on account of the heavy tax of $20 imposed by the state upon such gift schemes. The gentlemen of the firm were not aware that! such a tax would have to be paid when they announced the contest, and they re gret the circumstances that necessi tated its withdrawal. They are per fectly willing to give a plow as a prenlum to some one of their cus tomers, but they do not feel like pay ing $20 for the privilege of making the present. . - A good deal of new tobacco is finding its way to this market, though the farmers are so busy that the sales are not as heavy as they would j other wise be. The buyers are eager for all grades of tobacco and are paying good pnces. We were talking yesterday with an experienced tobacconist who has recently visited Danville, Winston, and other markets, and he says that tobacco is selling as well in Greens boro as at any of these places and high er than at some of them. Tobacco growers may always expect to' receive as much, if not more, for their tobacco than it will bring on any other mar ket. Shrewd and careful buyers, should not fail to read J. M. Bendrix & Co.'s new advertisement. Their stock of dry goods, shoes, dress goods, etc., was uever more complete, and what is bet ter, the prices are low. The goods were bought right, with an intelligent comprehension of the needs of the peo ple of this section, and the most fas tidious customer can be suited. In an ticipation of a big trade during the fall and winter Mr. lendrix bought largely while on the northern markets recently, and he and his efficient force of clerks are prepared to extend you a cordial welcome when you visit their store. .. ) , ... I John G. Brodnax, Jr., of this city, made an unwarranted assault upon Hon. R. B.Glenn, of Winston, as the latter was crossing the street near the court house here yesterday. Brodnax holds a position in the revenue service and was one of the prosecuting wit nesses in the King case, heard in the Federal court last week and resulting In a verdict for the defense, represent ed bv Mr. Glenn.! Both In the cross - - i . . examination and in his speech before the jury Mr. Glenn made matters quite interesting, if not uncomfortable, for Brodnax, and it was a spirit of retalia tion which prompted the assault. Fortunately friends interfered befora either party was injured, but it re quired considerable effort to restrain Mr. Glenn, who j demanded j instant satisfaction for the insult. Brodnax Immediately went to Mayor! Taylor and submitted. It is not too much to hazard the opinion that the affair Is not yet ended. j Wanted; Purchasers for; new or second hand iron safes.vault doors, etc. We exchange large for small safes, will buy your second hand safes for cash.

Several other offices have been leased, while a number of rooms on the fourth and fifth floors are occupied as sleeping apartments.. The finishing touches are now being put on the mammoth building, which is a credit to the city and a monument to the enterprise of the gentlemen who made the erection of the structure possible. With all the modern con veniences, such as steam heating and electric lighting plants, passenger ele vator, bath rooms, etc., it is one of the most complete and best appointed office buildings to be found anywhere in the country.- On next Tuesaay Miott Joaie Case, of Oak Kldge, will be unltedjn mar riage to Rev. J. W. Frank, until quite recently pastor of the Winston Meth odist Protestant church. The cere mony will be performed by Rev. T. J. Ogburn, secretary and treasurer of the board of-mlssions of the M.

Highly educated and possess ing a. high degree of refinement, she Is a leader in any circle in which sLo moves. For a while she was a member of the faculty of Oak Ridge Institute, but more recently she has been teach ing in the Mt. Airy graded schools. The day following the marriage cert- mony Mr. Frank and his bride will leave for San Francisco, Cal from which place they will sail for Yoko hama, Japan, Mr. Frank , having ac cepted a call to the foreign mission field of his church in that country. Until they become familiar with the Japanese language he and his wife will teach in one of the mission schools of Yokohama. The best wishes of a large number of frieDds will follow this young couple to their new home, in the Orient. The preliminary trial of Ben WI1 kerson, charged with shooting Ben Jennings on Friday anight, the 29th ult, came up before Justice Eckel last Thursday afternoon. The defendant was represented by Bynum A By num and Adams & Douglas, G. Sam Bradshaw appearing for the state. Henry Heath, the only eye wlt- ness to the shooting and a brotqer-ln-law of Jennings, was the first witness examined. His testimony coincided with the facts as published In last week's Patriot. Dr. J. P. Tomer, one of the attending physicians, was also put on the stand. He testified that Jennings' condition had improved somewhat, but gave it as bis opinion that the patient was still In a precari ous condition. After bearing this evi dence and a few renarks by the attor neys, 'Squire Eckel announced that be would require the defendant to give a bond In the sum of $200 for his appear ance at the December term of court, but upon objection by counsel for the state the amount of the bond was raised to $500. Wilkerson gave the bond promptly and was then released from, custody. The first thing he did after beiog released was to go to the bedside of Jennings and offer to do anything, in his power for the relief of the wounded man.
