A pleasant drive to Brick Church.
Klmesville, Julian, Cll max and Pleas
ant Garden last week disclosed the
temporal abodes of many of the Pa
triot's good friends. The same gen
erous hospitality that characterizes
the people of other sections of the
county which we have recently visited
was no less apparent all along the way.
Old and new friends seemed to vie
with each other In making our brief
stops as pleasaat as possible. One of
the most interesting personages we
met on the trip was Mr. J. W. Murray
of Klmesville. Despite his ninety-one
years Mr. Murray is blessed with a
clear mind, good eyesight and an elas
tic step, disdaining the use of either
glasses or cane while walking about
the village. He justly counts every
soul in the community his friend. For
over sixty-five years he has read the
Patriot, and is, with the exception
of David --Wharton, Esq., of Gilmer
township, perhaps the oldest sub
scriber. Mr. Wharton's subscription
dates from 1 828, and like Mr. Murray
his faculties at the age o( 95 are prac
tically unimpaired. Mr. Murray di
vides bis time between his friends, his
library, his animal pets and his fishing
outfit.' He says he hopes to pay an
other visit to relatives and friends in
Greensboro before he gets Uo old to
travel. We sincerely hope he may be
spared to enjoy that pleasure. Klmes
ville is a busy place. The cotton mill
there runs full time, being ably man
aged and skillfully operated, the chief
credit for which reverts to Mr. White
and Mr. Cunningham. Mr. W. A.
Wheeler runs a first class flour mill
there also, which serves well the re
quirements of a large scope of country
roundabout. Two other good flour
mills we visited were those of Mr. Geo.
Huffman, at Brick Church, and the
Julian Milling Company's plant, at
Juliau. Both are modern establish
ments and enjoy a fine patronage. Mr.
G. Aj Garrett is now the active mana
ger of the last named mill, succeeding
Mr. Ernest Hardin, who now holds a
good position with the new Revolution
cotton mills company in this city. Ju
lian is a busy little place, j It is the
shipping point and market for a large
and prosperous farming section. We
met a number of the good people there
and left reluctantly. At Climax we
found Messrs. Hutton & Hutton, the
general merchants, preparing to move
to Greensboro to live. They will be
succeeded in business there at an early
day by a son of Dr. J. AT Curtis. Mr.
Vaughn, the railroad agent, was quite
sick. Coming on to Pleasant Garden
we found a quiet village in which were
several congenial people. Frank Ross
was nusy in nis store, lie nas naa a
fine trade this fall, particularly In fer
tilizers. Farmers throughout the sec
tion we visited were quitej busy, and
as a rule were well along with their
seeding. What wheat is up looked, If
anything, too well, fears being enter
tained that continued warm weather
might cause injury from the fly. The
recent rains have been quite accepta
ble, no doubt, as the weather has turned
much cooler.
!
Rev. J. W. Frank and! wife left
Monday morning on their long trip to
Yokohama, Japan, where they go as
missionaries of the Methodist Protes
tant Church. The trip will occupy
three or four weeks' time. Mr. Frank
occupied the pulpit at Grace M. P.
church Sunday morning, preaching an
able sermon that was heard with inter
est by the congregation. At night a
farewell service was held in honor of
these consecrated young missionaries.
Brief and feeling addresses were made
by Rev. T. J. Ogburn, secretary of the
board of missions of the Methodist Pro
testant Church; Rev. T. Ml Johnson,
pastor of Grace church; Rev. J.F.Mc
Culloch, editor of Our Church Record,
and representatives from the various
departments of local church work.
The services were very impressive and
were attended by a large number of
people, whose prayers aad best wishes
follow Mr. and Mrs. Frank to their
new field of labor In far-away Japan.
Capt. William Smith, of Raleigh,
died at the residence of his daughter
in this city, Mrs. T. C. Gayle, early
Monday morning. He had been in
feeble health for a long white and came
here on a visit about two; weeks ago
The deceased was sixty-five years old
and was a member of the Episcopal
church., The remains were sent to

One day last week a genteel looking
stranger stopped at CI egg's hotel and
registered as J. L. Roberts, of New
York. He made himself very agreea
ble, and soon after his arrival asked
Mr. Cleggto cash a mall check for
him. He procured $10 from Mr.Clegg,
after which he went to the McAdoo
House and registered under a different
name. Before being shown to his
room he asked the clerk to cashacheck
for to and was acoomoiodated. The
checks which he had succeeded in hav
ing cashed were drawn on a Durham
bank and were returned unpaid. Think
ing the forger had probably goae to
the Winston horse show, his descrip
tion was sent to the pellce officers of
that city with the request that they
look out for him. Word was received
from Winston that a man answering
the description had been arrested, and
Mr. Clegg and Policeman Whittmgton
went up to identify him and bring htm
back to Greensboro. He was placed
in jail here until Monday afternoon,
when he was given a hearing by Mayor
Taylor. Roberts realized that the proof
against him was conclusive and. made-.
no defense whatever. He was bound
over to the December term of court
under a bond of $250, In default of
which he was remanded to jail, lie
will probably be heard from later on
the publio roads of Guilford county.
When Rev. W. L. Grissom sent his
carriage driver out a few days ago to
hitch up his carriage horses he found
that some thief had visited his stables
the night before and stolen a nice set
of double harness. The police were at
one? notified of the theft and they soon
had the harness located. Chief Scott
found them In a box at the Southern's
freight depot marked for shipment to .
"John King, Raleigh, N.C." The har-
ness were taken out and restored to
Mr. Grissom, after which the box was
shipped to its destination. The offi
cers of Raleigh were wired to arrest
and hold: the person calling for the
box, which was done. Chief Scott
went down Sunday and brought back
Ed. King, a negro carriage driver of
this city, who represented himself to
be John King during his brief sojourn
n the capital city. When h$ was ar
raigned in the mayor's court Monday
afternoon he was confronted with the
charge of assaulting a negro woman!
This charge he vehemently denied,
saying he only "struck her a few times
with a buggy whip." This warrant
was dismissed, but he was bound over
to court in tne otner case, lie will
board at Hotel Gilmer until December
court, after which time be will proba
bly be a member of Superintendent
Bergman's road force. ; "
A bold robbery was committed at
the Carolina Shoe Company's store
Friday night. An entrance was effect
ed through a door in the rear end of
the building by breaking a large glass
In the door and prizing off an iron bar.
The robbers were evidently scared off,
as appearances indicated a hasty de
parture. Chief Scott went over to
Reidsville Sunday night and Monday
morning.brought back two boys Joe
Ware, white, and Walker Penn, color
edcharged with the offence. In the
mayor's court Joe Ware plead guilty
and told of the robbery In detail, say
ing they both entered the store and
took five pairs of shoes. His colored
comrade stoutly denied having j had
anything to do with the atlair, but im
plicated himself in trying to correct
young Ware In some of his statements.
The mayor sentenced them to jail to
await the December term of court.
The boys are youthful criminals,neith-
er appearing to be more man sixteen
years old, tbougb tney are prooaoy as
hardened as more experienced oueuu-
ers of maturer years.
