We are prepared to believe the press despatches told the truth when they chronicled a fall of snow in northern Ohio the first of the week. Fires were necessary to comfort here last night. After what we have learned the past few days we consider the prospects very bright foi' the construction of the elec tric line connecting High Point, Win ston and Greensboro and intervening towns. The appropriation of over sixty-thou-Eand dollars for the enlargement of the Federal building here will be available in a few days. It is to be hoped that there will be no needless delay in start ing the work.

An effort will be made to have a sub station of the city postoffice established out near the State Nominal and Indus trial College this fall. It would be a great convenience to the people of that section of the city and facilitate the handling of the rapidly growing busi ness of the postoffice. Mr. J. E.

Some of tL. marks were perfect representations of anchors and butterflies, while others were strikingly similar to some of the capital letters of the alphabet.

The case will probably come up at the next teim of Forsyth Superior court. The premium lists for the coming fair will be ready for distribution in a few days. Secretary King tells the Patriot that the fair this year promises to eclipse its predecessors in every particular, especially in the matter of farm ex hibits. We are glad to see the people of Guilford taking an increasing inter est in the fair, as the vast resources of the county can not be too well adver tised to the world. There is no better medium than a good county fair. The county board of health has served notice on a number-of property owners along North Buffalo directing them to abate certain nuisances that exist in that locality. The Messrs. Cone, of the Proximity mills, Mr. Sternberger, of the Revolution mill, and Mr. Lindau, of the Finishiag mill, through their at torneys, King & Kimball, brought the matter to the attention of the board, and it is to be hoped that it will result in further improving the sanitary con dition of the territory in question, as chills and fever have already become manifest nearby.

The Venerable David Wharton Passed Away Monday at His Home North- : east ot the City. The death of Mr. David Wharton, which occurred Monday evening at his home three miles northeast of the city, removes from Guilford one of its most interesting . citizens. Mr. Whar ton had attained the ripe old age! of j ninety-eight last December, and enter- ed upon his ninety-ninth year with ex cellent prospects of becoming a cen tenarian. He was born December 18, 1903, and was unquestionably the old est citizen of the county. At the time he was born Jefferson was president of the United States, Washington had been dead only four years, Bonaparte, not yet emperor, was first consul! of France, Greensboro was in primeval forest and Guilford county had the ap pearance of a pioneer settlement. le was nine years old when the war! of 1812 began, and twelve years old when the Battle of Waterloo was fought. His great age was doubtless due to an inherited strong constitution, regular and tern nerate habits and a remarks- bly equable temperament. His first wife was Miss Elizabeth Donnelly a daughter of Major Robert Donnell. With her he lived for fifty-four years. In 1881 he married Miss Rachel Don- t nell, who died about five years ago. By his first wife he had five children, Mrs. Elizabeth McLean, Mrs. Julia Caldwell, wife of Rev. Cyrus Caldwell, Mrs. Mary Cannon, John E. Wharton, now of Sherman, Texas, and William D. Wharton. In early 'manhood j he joined the Presbyterian church, j in which he sei Ted as a ruling elder for over half a century, and by his quiet, mod est christian character exhibited to the , world his strong and abiding faith in the teachings of Holy Writ. He was a loving and tender husband, a kind father, a considerate neighbor and friend and an upright and successful business man. It was only a few years since that he relinquished the active management of his affairs, his mental i julties having been retained almost to the close of his remarkable career. Truly it can be said of this old pa triarch that the world was made better by his living so long in it, as his j in fluence (was always cast on the side of right and justice to his fellow man. j The Patriot feels a distinct loss in the death of Mr. Wharton, as he had been a staunch friend of this publica tion for four-score years. He sub scribed for the paper in 1S2S, at the time of his first marriage, and his name has been on the list continuously since that year. Prior to his marriage he read the paper in his father's family for several years. The funeral services over the remains of Mr. Wharton took place yesterday evening at 5 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. McL. Seabrook. Inter ment was made at Buffalo church. Mr. Bernard G. Gilmer and. Miss Minnie Reid surprised their most inti mate friends last Friday night by get ting married on what appeared to be the spur of the moment but which was in reality the culmination of a purpose that had been mutually agreed upon for some time. When Mr. Gilmer learned that evening that Miss Reid's family intended making a visit of some weeks at a neighboring city he set about to arrange matters so that even a temporary separation from his inamo rata would be obviated. Accordingly he sent a messenger for a marriage li cense and a minister and in a short time both were forthcoming. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Turrentine in the presence of the bride's family and a few friends who happened to be present and was not generally known until the next morning. Mr. G;lmer is an excellent young man. He is a brother of Attorney General Gilmer and also has two or three broth ers prominent in business here. I He has been working at the Southern de pot here as an operator for some time. His bride is a daughter of the late Dr. Frankleid, and is a young woman of varied accomplishments. For a couple of years she has been a teacher in the graded schools here and has many friends. .

Items of Interest to the Grower, the Deal er, and the Manufacturer. market report. The receipts on our market for the pi .st week have been the largest for several j weeks, owing to the rains which we had during the early part of week, giving faimers an opportunity to handle' their tobacco. We think that this season has -practically wound u last year's crop and that we will have very little more tobacco before the new crop comes in. Prices remain "about the same and the maiket is active on what is; being offer d, as our buyers seem to be very anxious for the weed. These rains Lave afforded good seasons Tor planting and replanting and we presume that all of our farmers are through with their work. We trust that they will make good crops this year. 1 Mr, G. O. WLson spent Monday in Durham on a business trip. Mr. P. R. Casey came in from Win- I ston yesterday and is busy prizing his tobacco. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Bray spent Sun day in Winston with their old friends, Mr. W. L. Fenell and family, and had a most enjoyable day. Contracts for the improvements la the big building to be occupied by the American Cigar Company's plant here have been let the past few days . and work will proceed on the building as fast as material can be secured. Bray Bros, are beginning to ship out some leaf this week, and from the quantity they have on hand we think they wilLhave to make big shipments every week trom now until tne new crop comes on to get their house ready for new tobacco. Durham Recorder: With the fight tile on coming season between the American Tobacco Company, the Im perial Company, of London, England, and the Universal, the prospect for good prices for tobacco is flattering. So lorVg as they are separate, all right, but .'"combined goodbye, Miss Nancy. The Danville Bee says: "New York city has just adopted an anti-expectoration ordinance in which the prohibi tion is extended to side-walks as well as to public vehicles and the floors of public places. San Francisco has had a similar law for some years. So has Danville, Richmond and other places, but the spitting goes on just the same. There has been no decrease in chewing tobacco on this account." Nor need there be. The obseirance of common decency in spitting out tobacco juice removes prejudice against the chewing habit, and has a tendency to increase the demand for plug. The State crop report for the week ending Monday June 23, says: "Con ditions during the past week have been very encouraging to farmers, as the weather was decidr ily favorable for the growth of crops and for farming operations of all kinds. As anticipated the beneficial effects of the general rains at the dose of last week appear in the reports of crop correspondents for the week ending June 2 'd. Frequent local showers over the eastern portion of the state this week have supplied the de ficiency in moisture which obtained in several eastern counties, so that now there is no imnibdipte necessity for more rain except in scattered localities. The rainfall of the 15th and 16th was very heavy over counties on the Upper Yadkin, where lands were badly wash ed and lowland crops injured over limited areas. Farm work had been so well kept up, and crops were in condi tion to receive so much benefit from the rainfall that growth was very rapid during the week. In regard to the staple crops, cotton and- corn must now be considered in very fine condition, and tobacco has also, greatly improved. Cotton has grown rapidly, with healthy color: there are some complaints of damage by lice from a few southern counties. Corn has been immensely benefited bv abundant moisture, its growth has been rapid, and its appear ance is excellent; plants are coming into silk and tassel in many counties; laying by is proceeding ranidly. . TtK bacco shows some improvement and has come out well in some sections; transplanting was completed during the week. The weather was very favorable for harvesting winter wheat and oats, which is approaching com pletion in the central-east portion of the state, and is now under way west of the Blue Ridge; a little wheat has been threshed, and shows well-filled grains. Spring oats are low and poor. A large crop of field peas has been planted in stubble land, and seeds have sprouted well. The irish-potato: crop is turning out inferior both in quality and yield. Prospects for sweet potatoes are also poor at present. Mel ons are doing well, and also rice and peanuts. Huckleberries and dewberries are abundant and of good quality. On account of so much dropping this sea son the condition of peaches, apples and pears is below the -average, but the yield will be better than for several seasons in the immediate past; peaches are ripening, and some . shipments have been made; grapes are very promising." MIchaux-Roherson Weddrag. The most interesting social event of recent years in the chaiming neighbor hood of Guilford College occurred last Thursday evening, when Miss Cornelia Koberson became the bride of Dr. Ed ward R. Michaux, of Greensboroi, The ceremony took place in Memorial Hall, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The ushers were Messrs. Elmer Leak and Wm. W. Michaux. Mrs. Chasi Ragan, of High Point, pre sided at the piano and rendered Men delssohn's wedding march and Schu bert's serenade in an artistic manner while the ceremony was being per ormed by Rev. Eli Reece, whose words were impressively spoken. The brides maids and groomsmen entered the hall in the following order: Miss' Helen Smith, of Guilford College, with Mr. A. G. Corpening, of Greensboro; Miss Annie Michaux, of Greensboro, with Mr. Z. V. Conyers, of Greensboro; Miss Berta Ragan, of H'?h Point, with Dr. Charles Roberson, of Greensboro; Miss Henrianna Hackney, of Guilford Col lege, with Mr. Jno. jr; Nelson, of Greensboro; Miss Jennie Ragsdale, of JamestowD, with Mr. Wescott Robert son, of High Point. Next came the maid of honor alone, Miss Florence Robersop, of Guilford College sister of the bride. The groom entered with his best man; and brother, Mr. John S. Ml chaux, of Greensboro, and proceeded down one aisle, the oride going down the other side, escort ;i by her brother, Mr. George Roberson, of Gu'lford Col lege, who gave her away. The brides maids were becomingly attf I n pure white and carried pink roses. The maid of honor wore wh'te organdie over pink aad also carried pink roses. The bride's costume was a -very beauti ful one of white crepe de chne with chiffon and paune velvet trmmiugs She wore the bridal ve'l caught with orange blossoms and carried an ex quisite bouquet of Bride roses and feins. After the ceremony: was cod clud d the party repaired to the home of the bride's mother, where a delighU.il .reception was enjoyed. The array of presents was quite imposing, attesting the Un usual popularity of Ihe contracting parties. Following the reception the bridal party drove to this city, where the bride and groom took a train for the north, where they will spend a week or more at the popular resorts. A large number of people, from the city witnessed the interesting ceremony. Base Ball Notes. Greensboro took two of the games from Newbern last week and lost to Raleigh Monday on the home grounds here. Yesterday rain blocked the game in the eighth inning, the score standing four to four. Two games will be played today. The attendance at the games has increased since the street railway began operation s. STANDING OF THE CLUBS. Won. Lost. P. C.

Patton, police officer and tax collector at Gibsonville, was sent here Saturday under commitment to the county road force for failure to pay a fine and costs assessed against him by Magistrate Eerry Davidson. Pat ton claims to have paid one fine and costs for the offense that caused him to be hailed before the magistrate,' and says that his prosecution arises from a spirit of revenge for his efforts to collect delinquent taxes in his town. Mayor J. A. Davidson came up Saturday evening and paid the costs in the case, thus securing Patton's release. The matter will probably be aired in the courts, as Patton threatens to sue the magistrate for damages. CITY NATIONAL BANK GREENSBORO, N. C.
