Miss Anna Tickle, who has been clerking for the Harry-Belk Bros. Com pany for sometime, is quite ill at the home of her father, Squire C. A. Tickle, in Washington township, with typhoid fever. Messrs. W. D. McAdoo and John A. Hodgin left yesterday for Monroe to join an excursion party that will make a month's tour of the western states after taking in the exposition at St. Louis. Mrs. A. F. Fowler, mother of Mr. J. Grasty Fowler, had a serious fall last- Wednesday night at her home, 113 South Ashe street. Her hip was broken and she received other painful injuries. Among the names recently suggested for the house of representatives were those of our friends Squire Davis, of Deep River township, Dr. M. Fk Fox, of Guilford College, and Mr. C. P. Van story, of this city. Mr. Paul Coble, of Tabernacle, has accepted a position with Howard Gard ner, in his new drug store. Mr. Coble has been in the drug business at New ton for some time and is well qualified for his new position. Mrs. W. J. Clary has let the contract to Mr. C. W. Hoecker for tbe erection of a 16-room double tenement at the corner of Blandwood avenue and Eu gene street. Work of construction has already commenced. A negro employed in unloading a car of lumber for Mr. C. W. Hoecker, near the coal chute Monday morning, met with a serious accident. A large piece of lumber fell on his rignt arm and broke it just below the elbow. Policeman D. W. Marsh has been made health officer in place of Mr. M. A. Short, who died last week and Mr. John Rhea, who has been one of the firemen stationed at the steamer headquarters, has been appointed a policeman in Mr. Marsh's place. Townsend & Co. are rebuilding their storage warehouse and to make room will close out what second-hand vehi cles they have regardless of cost, con sisting of half a dozen wagons, one carriage and thirteen buggies, both open and top. Must and will be sold quick. 32-2t Judge Shaw is holding court again this week in the western part of the state after an enforced vacation of sev eral weeks because of the illness of Mrs. Shaw. We are glad to say that both she and her infant son are doing nicely and will soon be fully restored to health. Howard Gardner, ths druggist, has moved to his new room, which adjoins his old one on the south, and is doing business right along, notwithstanding the fact that his new furniture has not arrived. It will be here, however, in a few days, and in the meantime the furniture of the old store will continue in service. Adjutant W. W. Wood requests us to copy the words of a song written by B. P. Steele which will hereafter be used at all Confederate gatherings and will be sung for the first time in Guil ford on the forthcoming occasion of a flag presentation, due notice of which will be given later. We shalr print the song in our next issue. Mr. W. E. Bevill and daughter, Miss Dora,' and Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Black burn and daughter Mary returned Monday noon from Mt. Airy White Sulphur Springs. They report Mr. J. M. Walker's condition as somewhat improved, which is good news to that excellent gentleman's many friends in Greensboro and Guilford generally. The firemen responded to two false alarms Saturday morning. The first was turned in from box 63, on Ashe boro street, at five o'clock, and the second came half on hour later from box 53, on Arlington street, before the men had finished rubbing down their horses after the first needless run. Turning in false alarms is a diversion that will lead to serious results for some miscreant some of these days. Mr. C. N. McAdoo has awarded the contract to W. R. Pleasants & Co. to erect his office building 'on the lot on South Elm street adjoining the govern ment building. The building will be five stories high, 26J x 152 feet. It will cost $30,000. The front and side next to the postoffice will be of gray pressed brick and granite. The material has already been ordered by the contrac tors and they expect to finish the building by January 1st. Messrs. Millikan & Bain, real estate dealers, purchased the Tidball place, on Asheboro street, just beyond the end of the car line, last Monday from Mr. J. T. Tate. The property is located on the west side of the street and contains thirty acres. The place has already been divided into about one hundred lots, which will be sold in the near future at an auction sale, which will be. similar to the one of Messrs. Jordan, Milikan and Bain, on Pomona avenue a few weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Hancock return ed from California Monday morning. They had a delightful trip and were favorably impressed with the country." Mr. Hancock made some investments there for speculation, but has not yet fully made up his mind to locate there. His son, E. P. Hancock, and his little grandson, who have been ill with typhoid fever, are getting along nicely and the prospects are that they will be entirely well in a short time. Mr. II. L. Hollowell, who is employ ed in the Cone offices here, came near losing his life Friday morning n,ear the coal chute. He was going out home when he boarded a freight which he thought would stop at the chute, but finding that it did not stop he jumped and was thrown to an adjoining track with such force as to render him un conscious. A man who happened to be nearby pulled him from the track just in time to save him from being ground beneath the wheels of another train that was approaching rapidly. Xews was received here Thursday of the death of Prof. Howard Braxton Holmes, of the chair of English at Elon College, who died at the home of his parents at Frankliutou on Wednes day night. Prof. Holmes was well known here, having visited the city often while at the college. He was a graduate of the State University and had taken post graduate work at Nash ville University. He had been granted a leave of absence by the board of trus tees of Elon College for the next year to take post graduate work at one of the northern universities. It is not known who will succeed him. The work of remodeling the old Tate corner, opposite the postoffice, which has just been vacated by Mr. Howard Gardner, who moved his drug store to his new room next door south, is under way, most of the old structure already having been removed. Mrs. H. H. Tate, who still retains two business rooms in the south end of the original building, has given a contract to have them remodeled also, so as to have them in keeping with the surrounding property. The fronts will be brought out eight feet to the building line, and altogether the appearance of the old corner will be vastly improved by the changes there. Mr. H. A. Garves, a good farmer who lives three miles west of the city, brought us a big box of fine Irish pota toes yesterday that would do credit to the finest trucking section of the state. They were of the Early Bliss variety and one-sixth of an acre produced just one hundred bushels. Mr. Garves is 77 years old but carries on his farm operations unaided. Besides the pota toes spoken of he produced 50 bushels on another small patch of ground, 100 bushels of nice sweet potatoes, 120 bushels of grain, and has a fine corn crop of seven acres in addition to his hay crop and small fruits. He is "liv ing easy," as the saying is, and gets along better without help on his farm than with it. Try our bone phosphate for wheat, oats, etc. All grades of fertilizer on hand. Gamble & Fulton. DEATH OF A PROMISING YOUNG LAWYER Hamilton Vernon Stewart: Born Decem ber 14, 1879 Died August 14, 1904. Hamilton Vernon Stewart, the bright and promising son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Stewart, who scarcely a year ago embarked in a noble profession and for whom the future held exceptional prospects, died at the home of his parents on East Gaston street last Sun day afternoon at 3 o'clock after an ill ness that covered a period of about six weeks. Mr. Stewart came home from Atlanta the 23rd of last month sufler ing from catarrhal fever, which had attacked him in a mild form three weeks previous, and seemed to im prove here under the loving attention of his family, but on Saturday last he had a sinking spell that caused special alarm. He rallied, however, that even ing and appeared to be doing nicely until the following day, when he had another sinking spell from which he never recovered. Widely known and highly esteemed, the death of this ex cellent young man caused much sor row. By exceptional industry he had employed his talents to the best advan tage and was fast making a reputation in his profession. His friends and acquaintances here had watched his course from the graded schools up with no little pride and pleasure. Following his completion of the literary course at Whitsett Institute in 1900 he entered the State University at Chapel Hill, completing the law course there in three years. A year ago he obtained license to practice law, locating in Gas tonia. In February of this year he re ceived a flattering offer from the old law firm of Brown & Brown at Atlanta, Ga., which he accepted, and has since been located there. He stood high in the esteem of his new Atlanta friends and was getting along exceptionally well there when his health failed. Re luctant to give up his work he perhaps waited too long before coming home to rest and recuperate, and it is possible he sacrificed his life to his ambition. His bereaved parents and sister have the sjmpathy of everyone in their sore aHlioiion. Funeral services were held at the family residence Monday after noon at 5 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Ira Erwin, pastor of Centenary church, where the family holds membership. Rev. Dr. Turrentine and Rev. Dr. Crawford assisted in the services, after which interment was made in Greene Hill cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. Thos. S. Beall, Charles Van story, A. W. Cooke. C. W. Sapp, Michael Schenck. Earl Harllee, Harry Donnell and Ernest Clapp. A profu sion of beautiful floral emblems covered the newly made grave. Yesterday's Primaries. At the time of going to press this morning the returns from the prima ries indicate that practically all the old ticket was renominated, with the possible exception of Treasurer McKin uey. "Uncle Abe" received the biggest majority of any candidate. Jordan has a safe majority. Scales for the senate received a unanimous vote in most every precinct where a vote was taken on the legislative ticket. For the lower house Robinson, Gordon, Kennett and Fox have the strongest support, but it is not yet known who leads. Coroner Turner and Surveyor Gilchrist had no opposition. Nearly if not all the old board of commissioners is renominated, but the returns indicate that Al Rankin and John A. Young got a heavy vote. Mr Tucker got the best vote in the bucHch. There is yet enough to be done to assure an interesting county conven tion Saturday. Death of Mrs. C. J. McMichel. MrsJennie McMichel, wife of Mr. C. ,J. McMichel, whose home is on Guilford avenue, died at 8 o'clock Fri day evening after a lingering illness with fever and was buried at Hines' chapel, ten miles northeast of the city, Saturday evening, her pastor, Rev. L. F. Johnson, conducting the funeral services. Mrs. McMichel had appar ently withstood the ravages of an at tack of fever successfully when she suffered a relapse, which caused her death in a few days. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Rudd, of Benaja, and had lived in Greensboro less than two years. Before moving here she and her husband made their home for a time in northwestern Guil ford. The bereaved husband and one little child survive. Old Soldiers! Adjutant Wood says you better give him your name quick if you wish to get rooms and board free at Asheville reunion. He is going to close the list and send it ofl. Don't straggle behind like you used to do. Meet Me at the Reunion. I would like to meet every member of the Second N. C. Cavalry regiment who attends the reunion at Asheville on August 30th and 31. W. A. Curtis, Franklin, Aug. 15, Company A, GREENSBORO TOBACCO MARKET. MARKET REPORT. The receipts on our market for the past week have not been very large, yet there was a nice little sale almost every day, composed mostly of new primings. The prices on these tobaccos are running very nicely and are very satisfactory to farmers. They are bring ing from $2.40 to $8.00 per hundred pounds, and our buyers seem to be very anxious for these tobaccos. We think the prices will pay farmers very handsomely to save them, and we hope you will save as many of them as you can and let us have them in Greensboro, as we are very anxious for primings on this market. Old tobacco is selling about as it has been for several weeks and there is a little showing up on the market most every day, but a great deal of it is more or less damaged and goes off at damaged prices. All sound old tobacco is in active demand and bringing good prices. Sam Johnson, a good Guilford county farmer, was here with two loads of primings during the past week and was highly pleased with pries on both of them. Mr. Johnson realizes the good of saving all the primings he can. D. C. Thomas, of Rockinghom, was here with primings during the past week and got justftwice as much for his load as he was expecting. It is useless to say that Mr. Thomas went back home pleased, and will save all the primings he can from now on. In savirfg primings be sure to cure them out thoroughly and get them in good keeping order, shaking off the dirt and pulling off the strings. Keep them straight; we do not care whether they are picked and tied up or not. You can use your pleasure about this, as we do not think it amounts to very much either way. Women Form an Auxiliary League. The members of the women's auxili ary of the Anti-Saloon League, which did such good work in the recent pro hibition campaign here, met Sunday afternoon at'West Market chUrch with others who had not already identified themselves with the work and organ ized an auxiliary to the Law and Order League. The officers chosen were as follows: President Mrs. Lucy H. Robertson. Vice Presidents Mrs. Lucy A. Cun niuggim and Mrs. Lee T. Blair. Recording Secretary Miss Mamie Stroud. Treasurer Miss Velna McCulloch. Executive Committee Mrs. C. H. Ireland, West Market church; Mrs. L. H. Battle, West Washirfgton church; Mrs. A. W. McAlister, First Presby terian church; Mrs. B. E. Smith, Cen tenary church; Mrs. T. G. McLean, Westminster church; Mrs. Robert Har din, Friends church; Mrs. L. M. Cly mer, Christian church; Mrs. Emma Pugh. Grace church; Mrs. G. W. Ward, Spring Garden church; Miss Clapp, German Reformed church; Mrs. N. J. McDuffie, St. Barnabas church, and Mrs. D. H. Blair, St. Andrew's church. It was decided to donate $50 of the funds of the new organization to the Law and Order League to promote the work which that organization has un dertaken. Death of an Aged Woman. Mrs. Tabltha Delaney Forbis, mother of Messrs. James W. and W. R. Forbis and Mrs. J. A. Tate, of this city, and Messrs. A. F. and J. W. Forbis, of eastern Guilford, died at her home in Jefferson township Monday morning of a complication of diseases incident to old age and was buried yesterday at Bethel church, herv pastor, Rev. J. McL. Seabrook, conducting the funeral services. Mrs. Forbis was born near Weldon, Halifax county, ninety years ago. Her maiden name was Mat thews. Married at an early age to John W. Forbis, of this county, whose death preceded hers by nearly forty years, she reared a family of six chil dren, all of whom" are living except an unmarried daughter, who died in 1S84. Soon after her marriage she joined Bethtl church and remained a .stead fast member there nearly three quar ters of a century. She had been blessed with exceptional health all her life, and not until recent years did the in firmities of age cause her any particu lar annoyance. She was a truly good woman and will be missed by her fam ily and friends. . : Farm for Sale. One mile east of Whitsett Institute; three miles south of Gibson vme.

Ross, of Pleasant Garden who lived in St. Louis several years but has been in his native county the past year, has been asked by a number of people to accompany a party to the World's Fair, and he has consented to do so, provided enough people can" be interested in the trip. Mr. Ross is a reliable man and a party under his guidance would not only save money but avoid many of the risks that strangers take in visiting a city the, size of St. Louis. He made seven trips there in one year and is familiar' with all routes. He would be pleased to correspond with anyone who would like to make the triD about September 2oth and can give them information of value. Ladies who might otherwise be unable to attend the exposition can go with his party with perfect security, as no objectionable person will be taken.
