; Capt. Smith, the street superintend
ent, informs us that he will ,begin to

Mr. W. L. Kirkman has sold part

We hear that the Morris Mfg.

The bill allowing the cityof Greens
boro to vote upon the proposition to issue
bonds to the amount of $150,000, for
public improvements, passed its final
readings in both houses of the Legisla
lature yesterday morning, and now the

Mr.. John Holden left his horse
standing on Market St. . near the Banner
warehouse last Friday, and while he was
up the street the horse took fright, and
breaking away from the wagon ran up
the street, arid when opposite Messrs.
Irving and Weatherly's, he turned and
started into their store, but was caught
by lis owner," before he could 'enter. -
How would it do for our I board of
city commissioners to pass an ordinance
V requesting" dealers in guano to have
, their warehouses- erected . outside the
corporate limits of the city. It will put
the dealers to a little inconvenience
perhaps, but it will save the citizens
much discomfort. The odor emitted
does not go' well with tube-rose and
hyacinths.
- Col. A. II. Leltwich,, of this city.
has just succeeded in developing a splen
did vein, four leer, thick, of b'turne jous
coal, at Gulf. Chatham 'county, within
four hundred yards of the Cape Fear and j
Yadkin Valley Railway, The supply
seems to be inexhaust able and the fields
will soon be furnishing our market fifty
tons or more a day. Coal at our very
doors, must of necessity reduce the
price, which will be a great blessing to
the poor. Hurrah for the old North
State; when a demand is made upon
her she never fails to respond.
D. McWilliams & Co., the firm
who have leased the old Steel Facto

their lumber-is now on the ground
and more is expected Monday. They
also intend to put in some new ma
chinery. Mr. McWilliams says that
if the business proves a success, after
this year they will erect a new and
larger building for the machinery.
