Ihe Lutheran Synodical Board, of at. Louis Mo., aptinf? thrnno-h nn of its ministers, Rev. John C. Schmidt, Who has hoori lrnatA ham fAF carorDl years, on Saturday closed a deal for fifteen acres of the old Vanstory farm, now owned by Mr. Garland Daniel and lying at the eastern limits of the city, whereon will be erected a college for the instruction of colored boys along practical lines. The board, which rep resents the Evangelical Lutheran church, had had the establshment of sucli a school under consideration for a year or two, and last year held an op tion for some months on a tract of land owned by Lee Waugh, but for some reason never closed with him. The location chosen is perhaps more desira ble in every particular, as" the sur rounding; property will be opened up and improved, with the same public utilities that are to be found in the The county and Mr. Darnel both contributed Iiberallv to the enternri The college will stand on what is to be known as Luther avenue, which will extend from East Market street to Bessemer avenue after it is opened and graded its entire length, and the sum of about; $50,000 will be expended in buildings and equipment. The main building will cost $18,000. the two dormitories about $10,000 each, aud the other necessary buildings, including; several dwelling houses for the faculty, varying amounts up to three or four thousand dollars. Work on the buildings will begin as soon as the weather justifies in the spring, as it is the intention to open the college in the fall. The enterprise is tqade pos sible by the benefactions of Lutherans North and West and from what we understand is to be developed along lines that will meet with public ap proval here and "elsewhere. Greens boro is really fortunate in being able to furnish a satisfactory - location for the college, as the city will derive great benefit from the expenditures for con structing and maintaining the institu tion. J And the college adds to the city's prestige as an educational center. Already we have two of the best white colleges in the South, the State Normal and Industrial College and Green 9boro Female College, and two excellent col ored colleges, the. State A. & M. and Bennett College. The Methodist Pro testants have already selected a site for the,ir $100,000 college here and have taken steps to push the enterprise to a speedy and successful conclusion, hence the claim that Greensboro is advancing more rapidly along educational lines than any city in the state. Mr, James C. Mabry, of this city, has through his attorneys, Messrs. Stedman & Cooke, brought suit in the Superior court of Guilford county against the North Carolina Railway Company for $25,000, which amount he claims as damages on account of injuries sustain ed while at woi-k for the Southern. Mr. Mabry was, a car inspector or overhaul- er on the yards of the Southern in this city. On September 20th while at work on a car near the Davie street crossing an engine backed some other cars against the car under which he was working, knocking him over, and so badly crashing and injuring his foot, that amputation was necessary. The case promises to be an interesting and hard fought one.

' County Medical Society Meeting." The Guilford County Medical Society neld the largest and most enthusiastic meeting of its history in the assembly hall of the Benbow Monday afternoon. Dr. C, A.

His new bath room is the basement room underneath his shop. It is of convenient access and handsomely fitted up.

Battle, of this city, who is president of the Bank of Liberty, which was ; burglarized last week, as told by our Liberty correspondent, went down to Liberty Friday to see in what shape the bank's property had been left. Burglar insurance was car ried,' hence the bank will lose nothing, but the safe was a total wreck, while the furniture was more or less damaged by the repeated explosions. As yet no clue of the robbers has been discovered. GREENSBORO TOBACCO MARKET. MARKET REPORT. ' The receipts on our market for the past week have been about the, largest of the season. Throughout the entire week farmers have come here from every section tributary to this market and have expressed very great satisfac tion with their sales and the prices they obtained. In fact, we have never seen such satisfaction on the part of the farmers, and well they may be, for we have not seen tobacco higher than it is now in 14 years, and it seems to us that when such conditions prevail far mers should be very active in "taking advantage of the market. During the past ten days there has been a decline of 2 cents a pound in cotton, with the government estimate of over 12,000,000 bales raised this year, with about 6,000,- 000 of it already marketed. This de cline of 2 cents a pound means $10 per bale on 6,000,000 bales of cotton yet in the bands of Southern farmers, which means a net loss to them of $60,000,000; in other words, the purchasing capaci ty of the Southern farmers has been re duced $60,000,000 within the past ten days. Now, the question arises where they will curtail their purchases -first. Naturally this will be done on luxuries; and as tobacco is a luxury, plug tobac co manufactured from flue-cured stock must necessarily suffer from this loss, as a great portion of the flue-cured plug finds its way to the consumer in the Southern markets, therefore our man ufacturers' sales of plug in this territory are liable to be reduced, Which would necessarily reduce their demand for leaf. Such conditions as these have been known in the past to "lower the leaf market. We cannot tell what these conditions will produce this time, but only give you past experiences and tell you what the probable result may be this time. Prices on all grades of tobacco remain unchanged and the quality of the of ferings is mostly of the common to me dium grades, with a few medium wrap pers "showing up and ho fine wrappers' at all to be found. Out buyers are very anxious fortthe weed and are always willing to pay outside market prices for all tobacco offered on this market. J. H.

Julius Ross, of Alamance county, sold a small load of tobacco here the past week for $92.10. He is a splendid farmer, and while his tobacco was not fine it was good quality and brought a good price. W. D. Palmer, a verv fine tobacco grower of Randolph, was here last week with some of his poorest tobacco, but was highly pleased with prices. He says be has got a very fine crop again this year. We were very sorry to note that Uncle Peter Jackson got his leg so badly hurt a few weeks ago and hope he will soon " be well again. We saw him in town yesterday on crutches and regretted so much to see him in this shape. , i Young if Did you ever have the opportunity of going into a nice little business of your own, provided you could put up $500?
