promote the national game locally the
coming summer. Folio wmg the return
from Raleigh of several gentlemen who
attended the meeting at which a state
league was formed last week, a call
was issued for a public'me"etiug, and the
result is a splendid organization of Gate
City enthusiasts, or "cranks," as they
are commonly termed. The officers
are: President, Mr. C. G. Wright; vice
president, Mr. Garland Daniel; secre
tary and treasury, Mr. L. J. Brandt;
directors, Messrs. Wright, Daniels and
Brandt, Z. V. Taylor, J. P. Turner, Lee

a ball park was generously tendered by
Mr. Ceasar Cone. It will be located on
Summit avenue, just beyond the resi
dence of Mr. Sternberger. The work
of fitting up the park will begin at once.
Mr. George W. Kelly, manager of the
pennant-winning Raleigh team last
year, was chosen manager and captain
of the Gate City team, and he will pro
ceed at once to round up an aggrega

The Cigar Factory Assured.
If one may venture;an opinion based
on what might be termed "circumstan
tial evidence," it is safe to say that the
establishment in Greensboroof a branch
factory of the American Cigar Company
is practically assured. The modest res
olution submitted ; to the board of alder
men last Friday night by Alderman
Sherwood, authorizing a change in a
portion of the grade of West Gaston
street that the big leaf factory on the
corner of Gaston and Greene streets
might be furnishedwith sewer connec
tion :j is, in our opinion, indisputable
evidence of an important deal of some
kind,' and nothing suggests itself ex
cept the cigar factory. Like all vast
enterprises, nothing is given out as to
the American's plans, but the impres
sion is- general here that the factory
will pprt-iinlv he established, and at no
far distant date. Several hundred
hands are employed in each of the
company's manufacturing branches
elsewhere, and Greensboro will hardly
be an exception to that rule. The city
will profit immensely by the presence
of such an extensive industrial estab
lishment.
but while this was true, the prices
all grades seemed to advance sligh
and we regard them tle highest that
has been paid for any previous w
during the present season, and the
trons of this market were highly grati
fied for the prices they received
their tobacco.
A very large proportion of this c
has already been marketed and there
is very little more tobacco remaining
in tne larrners' nanus; comsequeuiiy,
the buyers will begin to wind up their
business for the year earlier this season
than thev have done heretofore, and

For
two or three months some one has been
writing the most obscene language im
aginable on the sidewalks and fences
of the Southside. A number of people,
including the police,, have made repeat
ed efforts to capture the miscreant who
did it, but it was not until Thursday
night that success attended their ef- .
forts. Officer Crutchfield stationed
himself in a house that night which
afforded a view of Gorrell street, where '
of late the writing has repeatedly ap
peared, and was rewarded about two
o'clock by seeing a man stoop down
and commence scribbling on the pave
ment. It proved to be Reeves. He
placed him under arrest, but had quite
a struggle before he would j consent to"
go to jail. On the way there he oilered
the officer five dollars if he would re
lease him, promising never to do. any
thing of the kind again, j Reeves ai
peared before Mayor Osborn Friday
evening and, was bound over to court
on two charges, committing a nuisance
and resisting an officer. He has been
employed as a laborer at the niail
transfer office at the Southern depot
for some time., working junder Mr.
Tomlinson, one of those most active in
trying to apprehend the perpetrator of
the nuisance. j
we would, therefore, advise all farmers
to market the remainder of their to-
bacco as early as convenient, believing
that the sooner they market it the bet
ter the prices will be.
