Something like a car load of cripples swopped down on the town for fair week They are evidently making a circuit of the southern fairs, just like the horsemen and fakirs.

At Proximity he laid particular stress on the flimsy charges preferred by his opponent, Mr. Patter son; who persistently refuses, to meet him on the stump, and utterly demol ished that worthy's claims. The can didacy of Mr. Patterson has only served to put Mr. Kitchin on his mettle,' and his efforts serve as a reminder of the campaign in which he was pitted against the Hon. Thomas Settle, the most brilliant Bepublican debater in the state, and which ended with the utter defeat of the young representa tive. - An unknown woman from Virginia came over last week to help J. W. Woody out of the serious difficulty in which he finds himself. &he is evi dently his wife,; or one of his wives, otherwise she would not hesitate to ac knowledge her relationship with him. She ; is. bitter against the writer of the Covesville letter concerning Woody's career, which recently appeared in print, and would like mighty well to learn the name of the author. The shroud of curious mystery which sur rounds her identity is heightened by the startling disclosures which she threatens to make after the case is set tled in court. Woody wanted the newspapers to suppress any mention of the woman's visit. Mr. Eli J.

The biggest and best fair that Greens boro has even seen and one that will, compare favorably with any ever held any where in the state opened under the most favorable auspices1 yesterday. It is difficult to pick out a feature to begin with in writing a hurried sketch of the affair. From the moment a per son enters the spacious grounds there is a bewildering array-of exhibits and interesting attractions, such as are us ually to be found on such occasions. The main exhibit hall is a great bower of beauty containing innumerable at tractive booths, many of which contain displays made by. the progressive mer chants of the city. In this hall are the exhibits made by the ladies of the land . Art, education, needlework and cookery are represented in lavish profusion. Down stairs in this Wilding are ex hibits of machinery, buggies, wagons, harness, etc. In the new building that was recently erected is a surprisingly fine exhibit of farm products and fruit. The resources of the county were never shown to better advantage. On the first floor of this building is a poultry exhibit never before equaled in the state. Nearby are the stock sheds. More fine stock is 'being shown this year than ever before perhaps twice as much. Improved heavy machinery is scattered in profusion about the east ern sides of the grounds threshers, traction engines, and the like. The Midway stretches all the way from the main exhibit hall to the grand stand. Both sides of the ave nue are lined with attractions of al most every conceivable sort. Among other interesting things to be seen on the Midway are Bostock's trained animals, Fairbanks' illusionary mu seum, the Southern plantation theatre, an ostrich show from Jacksonville, Fla., the original mysterious Thauma, the Elks' country store, Lottie, the palmist and mind reader. Walker's vaudeville, Potter's phonograph gallery, Taka Tama, the two-headed baby, the marvelous scientific palmist, Nina, a a submarine diving demonstration, Mme. Zara, the palmist, Madam Boiita, the palmist, Fred Burns' beauty t4(6w, Jumbo, the largest snake in captivity, Lennette, the flying lady, a New York candy kitchen, snake eaters, lunch stands, cane . racks, punching machines, jewelry stands, nigger head and baby racks, etc., galore, and last but not least the original Jim West. The Shetland pony exhibit from L. Banks Holt's Alamance farm at Gra ham is the mecca of all the children and most bf the grown people on the grounds. The nurseries and terra cotta works have extensive exhibits. But we can't find time or space to mention everything on the grounds. Suffice it to repeat that it is the best fair held in the state this year The racing events bid fair to excel those of last year, when the state record was made. More horses Bre here this year and the speed contests start off with a vim that gives promise fit rare sport. The event of yesterday was the edu cational rally at which Governor Ay cock and State Superintendent Joyner made addresses. The attendance was gratifying and the speakers were at their best. Oak Bidge won over Danville Mili tary Institute in a hotly contested game of football. The crowds are being handled with care and ease by the Southern Bailway and street railway. A great number of visitors has already reached the city. Truly this is a gala week for the Gate City. Seaboard Connection in Siht. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a clipping from the Manufacturer's Becord announcing the definite purpose of the Baleigh & Western Bailroad to enter Greensboro. The Baleigh corres pondent of the Charlotte Observer of Saturday said: "Tonight your correspondent had an interesting talk with President Samuel A. Henszey,- of thejEaleigh & Western Bailroad. This road connects with the Seaboard Air Line at . Colon, and thence goes eight Iniles to Cumnock. He says it is being pushed on to Greens boro as fast as possible and that fifteen miles of this extension are now graded. The road will have a grade of not over 1 per cent. It will traverse a fine tim ber country and there are eighteen cot ton mills along its lines. It is easy to see that the Seaboard Air Line, long desirous of entering Greensboro, will get into that town by this new route, and it is therefore an important devel opment." The surveying corps of this road is now at work in southern Guilford, heading this way. The prospects of another road entering Greensboro are particularly bright just now.

Holton and J. A. Odell, for some of the citizens of Greensboro to meet together to consider the important matter of establishing a well equipped hospital, to meet the full demands of our city and commun ity, a number of citizens, including some of our leading business and professional men, met in the hall of the Hotel Benbow last Saturday night, and took steps to establish a hospital for the public, to be owned and directed by a joint stock company of citizens.

After stating that this plan was subject to modification -to meet the needs of our hospital, a number spoke in behalf of establishing such a hospital as outlined. Bev. W. C. Newton thought the plan about ideal. Dr. C. D. Mclver spoke enthusiastcally in be half of a hospital and ex pressed ""the hope that especially our Citizens of means would contribute liberally to establish this much needed institution. He insisted that the important thing to be done was to proceed to secure the means to establish the hospital. Dr. Mclver was followed by a number of others, who likewise spoke earnestly in behalf of establishing such an institu tion. Among the number who spoke was J. Y. Joyner, Col. W. H. Osborn, B. B. King, Z. V. Taylor, C. H. Ire land, Dr. Peacock and others. On motion a permanent committee consisting of Messrs. J. Van Lindley, W. H. Osborn, J. W. Scott, C. E. Holton and J. A.
