GUILFORD'S OLDEST CITIZEN DEAD!
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. .

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."

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.

Mr. D. L. 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.
