the Daily Evening Patriot.
The ISlark and Tan Convention.
On Saturday morning a black
cloud with a peculiar smell told the
people of Greensboro tbat the lie
publican party would bold its con
vention that day, aud at 12 mr,'ex
revenue oflicer Bilbro called tne
meeting to order. Ex-senator Mor
row as chosen chairman and ex-
revenue officer Starbuck secretary.
A committee on credentials was
appointed and while absent ex'rev-
enue omcer lloskms showed the
crowd that a -powerful supply of
gas was all that God gave him.
He was followed by ex district at
tomey Bod, who spoke of the
Blair bill, but failed to tell what
grand-sou Harrisou had done for it.
The crowd became very boisterous
when he mentioned grand pa Har
rison, and a big groan came from
the black cloud when the speaker
said he was a little better than the
nigger. Mr. Boyd spoke at some
length; said he fought prohibition
a few years, ago, and was well in
formed aboat the western whiskey.
We were not surprised, ne said
he did not expect to make a speech,
and' the crowd did not think he
went beyond his expectations.
Then came the "tug of war."
Nominations for sheriff were in or
der and poor. Eckle had to die ho
was not enough of an ex revenuer.
Ex-railway postal clerk Hoskins
beat him, as ex postmaster White
said, "in the first round." J. W.
Causey, who said be knew no party,
was nominated for registerof deeds,
ex store keeper Hodgins for trea
surer, ex oranay gauger uoiton
for the Senate, ex revenue officers
Starbuck and Kime for the House,
after which the crowd adjourned.
Ex-marshal Keogh is again hap
py, for if the nigger did beat him
in Raleigh he dowued him at home.
The above is ths ticket except
two unknown men.- This is the
ticket they want the men; of Guil
ford to support, but

Special correspondence of theG eensboro Patriot,
Winston-Salem, Aug. 26. The
attraction here just now is Jumbo
Jewett, the 649-pouud fat man. Ho
is certainly a human monstrosity,
that is about the eizo of him, and
he is gathering in , the. sheckels
from a curiosity-loving public.
There has been an abundance of
railroad talk here for some time
past, but matters have now assum
ed a business aspect. Not less than
1,000 hands, with all the necessary
equipments, are moving dirt now
within a radius of ten miles, on
our two lines, the Wilkesboro and'
Roahoke.an'd Southern. The for
mer is to bo completed as far as
Bural Hall, and trains running by
Christmas. There the C. F. & Y.
V. K. B. will be tapped and the road
extended on; either to Wilkes coun
ty or 4.sbe county the former, of
course, if subscriptions cannot be
extended. -
By a hurried estimate we readily
count contracts already let for the
erection of 8150,000 worth of build
ings in our town a veritable boom
and no mistake. These include
stores, residences, tobacco facto
ries,. Sext week a special through train
will pass through your city freight
ed w ith young lady pupils for Salem
Academy. The train starts away
down in the lone star State. The
fall season opens next Tuesday.
The attendance will bo the largest
for years. An addition, 00x70 feet
is being added to the Academy to
accommodate all applications, and
even now it is the i largest female
college iu the South, and the most
thorough.
A large number of our citizens
will attend your Firemen's Tourna
ment next month. The Salem com
pany will enter for tho prizes, acd
the boys are practicing diligently.
The Winston company will proba
bly bring a reel. By mutual agree
ment both engines do not leave the
town at one time. The last visit
to Greensboro was made by the

next.
Mr. J. T. Alexander, of Wilkes
county, was here this week show
ing specimens of gold nuggets and
dust taken from bis mine near Trap
Hill, Wilkes county. It is opera
ted as yet on a small scale by J. S.
Hoi brook & Co., but the returns
are gratifying. In two days four
men unearthed $8 worth of dust.
This, thus far, is about the average
returns.-
Although our people wanted Bux
ton for Congress, they acquiesced
without a murmur iu the action of
the convention, and will give CoL
Morehead a rousing welcome when
be comes this way and a still more
enecuve manuesiauon or esteem
at the polls in November next.
It- is reported .here that C. B.
WatsonEsq. and solicitor Settle
came vtry near getting to an exhib
it -of muscular power at Surry
court last Monday. They held a
joint discussion and their retorts
became too personal tor each other's
comfort.
: Our Sambo and Dinah popula
tion are happy. Watermelons are
abundant and excursion fever rages
high.' Three hundred visited Dan
ville last Monday. Another cargo
will excurt to Mt. Airy next Mon
day. The Durham folks are after our
Dr. Jas. A Blum to aid in preparing
their elaborate exhibit this fall.
The doctor has an enviable reputa
tion in arranging displays for pub
lie demonstration. His servfeos
would prove a valuable acquisition
to our Durham friends.
H. A. Watkius & Bro. make an
assignment. The firm is a new one,
and the liabilities and assets are
about equal.
Quite a number of lots of new
tobacco have appeared upon the
market. The first installment came
in at least a month ago.
We read the Daily Patriot
with much interest. Our people
are doing the good part by our
journals,, and to them Winston
Salem are indebted for a large
amount of- their prosperity. This
is a broad assertion, but a fact not
to be disputed. Let Greensboro
do her part for the PATRIOT, and
wejare confident the results will
be returned a hundred fold. - It is
a bright, wide awake paper, and
all who read it so pronounce it.
