Any one having a copy of our

concern.
"Buzzard Roost." as the low
stone wall around the government
building is called, is a bad institution,
for it is there that idlers of both colors
. do most congregate. As a remedy
we suggest that a row of iron spikes,
six inches apart, be set into the cap
stone around the building.
Greensboro Fire Company, at
their last meeting, not only resolved
to go to Charlotte on June 21st, but
they also took measures to fit up
their room, so that it may be a com
fortable place of meeting. The com
pany will again parade on Monday
afternoon, if the weather is propiti
ous. ' y
The Charlotte Home Democrat
says about the "Jacklegs": "Any
onVcan write deeds, without paying a
tax if he does not charge tor his ser
vices. If he charges he must pay the
tax, as he ought to do. But we advise
all people, who want good titles to
their land, to get a. good lawyer to
write a deed and investigate the title
That's the way we do, and have saved
thousands of dollars by so doing."
A Thief Jailed. ,
Mr. . John C. Kennett. a revenue
officer of the Fifth District, took lodg
ing Friday night at the boarding house
. of Mrs, Watlington, on South Elm
street. Yesterday, morning he dis
covered that he had been robbed of
his pocket book which contained
about eighty dollars. He suspected
that some one who had slept in the
same room with him was the thief, and
putting the case in the hands of the
police he took the train for High
Point hoping to overtake the sus
pected party there. 'Shortly after the
train left, Officer Weatherly saw. the
man in the neighborhood of the depot,
and keeping his eye upon him, soon
saw him spending money: lavishly.
He was arrested and taken before the
mayor, ine man, whose name is
, Frank Dodson, from ; High Point,
waived an examination, and in de
fault of $200 bail, was locked up to
await trial at the next term of court
The stolen money was found upon his
AESTHETIC.
It was late, on Thursday eveoing
last, the court house clock had long
since sounded the hour of nine, the
evening star "the star of love and
dreamsv had sunk to rest in the west
ern horizon, the full moon, high in
the heavens, was bathing the streets
of Greensboro in its soft and mellow
light, and silence reigned supreme.
We had attended the revival meeting
at the - West Market Street Methodist
church, where we had listened to a
most eloquent and impressive sermon
from the lips of the Presiding Elder.
Rev. Mr. Cunninggim, the benediction
had been invoked by the Rev. Mr.
Mann, the pastor, and' we were wend
ing our steps homeward, in an easter
ly direction from the church, when at
the corner of West Market and Greene
streets, sounds of sacred music, low
and sweet, seemed to be wafted on
ward on the "stilly air" from the direc
tion in which the Episcopal church is
situated. On closer examination we
discovered that the church was light
ed up, and acting on the impulse of
the moment we entered the sacred
edifice. Our morbid, but. we trust.
in this case, most excusable curiosity.
was at once amply and pleasantly
gratified, for we found the ladies and
gentlemen of the church choir seated
around the ortran. hard at work, at
this late hour, in rehearsing the elabo
rate selections of sacred and most dif
ficult music which will constitute so
prominent a part of the Easter ser
vice in the Episcopal church. We
listened with wrapt attention and
bated breath, for nearly half an hour,
to soul-stirring music most faultlessly
rendered; inspired music, interpret
ing even as the prophets did the di
vine significance of life, guiding the
soul of man heavenward from this
earthly sphere, and bearing thence to
the throne on high many fervent ap
peals to Heaven's invisible justice
against earth's visible force. We be
speak for the Episcopal church an un
usually large congregation on Easter

J. M. Johnson, a travelling sales
man for a Greensboro Nursery, was in
Rockingham last week and swindled
Mr. W. S. Fowlkes. proprietor of the
Pee Dee House, out of $70. Johnson
tenderedMr. Fowlkes a draft for $70,
which he accepted, but when it was
sent on for collection, through the
bank, it was returned " protested.'
A letter received on Tuesday last by
Mr. Fowlkes from Mr. Henry Rust, of
Greensboro, upon whom the draft was
drawn, elicits the information that Mr.
Johnson is a fraud and that he has
swindled several other parties in the
same manner, Mr. Rust being a loser
by him. He is wanted, and wanted
badly, by his victims.
Some weeks ago a man applied to
Mr. Henry Rust, who owns a Nursery
not far from Greensboro, and wanted
to be employed in the sale of his trees.
He was fitted out and went his way.
Mr. Rust received orders from his
agent, who gave his name as J. M.
Johnson, for a large lot of trees. He
brwarded them, but his salesman
could not find the names of men for
warded by Johnson as having subscrib
ed for them. In the meantime John
son had forged a draft on Mr. Rust,
which, of course, he dishonored. So
Mr. Rust lost his trees and the extra
expenses incurred, and Mr. Fowlkes
has to whistle for his $70. and yet don't
get it back. As likely as any way,
Johnson is not the man's name, but if
it is or is not, he is a sharper and a
grand rascal. We are happy to know
that he is an exceptional Nursery
agent, for those employed by our Nur
series are generally honorable men.
It is not the practice of Nurserymen
to pay their agents by draft. They
draw their money in small sums, at
intervals, and generally in currency.
The Fire Denartment of Charlotte
