As announced in our last issue, the board of county commissioners met last Thursday afternoon to consider plans and specifications for tbV new jalL The contract for drawing the p&ns for the building was awarded to Hayden, Wheeler fc Schwend, Char lotte architects, and they were ordered to have the plans ready by November 25th, In order that building operations may begin as early as possible. It is the intention of the commissioners to build a modern jail one that will an swer the purposes of the countr f'nr many years to come. It will be a two- story structure, built of brick, and will j be situated on the corner of West Gas ton and North Greene streets, on what j Is known as the old Barker lot. The building will be fitted with' the very best steel cells and will be secure In every particular, thus doing away with the necessity of expending i$540nn- nually for guards. The ground floor will be utilized as a residence for the jailer and his family. When the plans are accepted we will give our readers a detailed description of the newjall. As the contracts have not yet been let, we are unable to state the exact amount that will be invested in the new jail, though It is the intention of the commissioners to expend about $12,000. We are indeed glad to an nounce that this amount can be spent and the jail built without levying any additional tax on the people of the country. For this happy condition of affairs we have" to thank the painstak ing and wise business men who have composed the .boards of county com missions in recent years. Guilford has been fortunate in this respect, and we hazard the assertion that no county in the state has a board of commissioners composed of more progressive and re liable ' men pf sound business sense than Messrs. Boren, Ragan atfd-Mich-ael. The county's interests are safe in their hands. The magistrates of the county kre asked to meet with the commissioners at their next regular meeting, which will be held on Monday, December '4th, for further consideration of the jail matter.- A Highly Creditable Exhibit.

"In the industrial exhibit was a com plete engine, model size, In perfect running order, the work of a student who has received all the knowledge be possesses, literary or mechanical, at the North Carolina college. All manner of tools of iron and brass and wood working appliances were included in the exhibit. The handiwork of these negro students, displayed by the hun dreds of exhibits, was astonishing to most white people who saw them. "The specimens of the work of the female students,' particularly the orna mental and handsome needlework, were such as to compare favorably with those at the white fair, and the. butter shown is eaual to any made In the state."

Everybody who reads newspapers and most of the. people- who don't have found out by this time that shoe fac tories and wholesale shoe dealers have advanced their prices on shoes. Hides are higher, leather is higher, every thing that goes Into a shoe is higher, consequently the shoe factories are obliged to charge more for shoes. But we had the good luck to buy largely In July and August, before the advance, and we are very glad to be able to in form our customers that we can sell them all the shoes they want at bid prices at least until Christmas. We knew prices were bound to go up and 'prepared for war in time of peace," so now we have in our store the largest and best stock of shoes we ever owned and can seil them to you just as low as we ever did.

The Scientific American says: "At the first indication of diphtheria in the throat of a child, make the room close, take a cup and pour info it a quantity of turpentine and tar equal parts, then hold the cup over a fire, so as to fill the room with fumes. The little patient on inhaling the' fumes will cough up and spit out all the membranous matter, and the diph theria will pass out. The fumes of the tar and turpentine loosen the mat ter In the throat and thus afford the relief that has battled the skill of the physicians." - The Surry Journal, Pilot Moun tain, has the following to say of a gen tleman from that town who has moved to -Greensboro: MN.
