That handsome, young and talented actor, Mr. James Young, will once again appear before the people in the well known play of "David Garrick." Each year Mr. Young's talents as an actor have spread wider and wider throughout the universe and it will not be long before he will be recog nized as one of the foremost actors of the day. It is understood that certain New York parties, who have recognized his remarkable talents are anxious to en gage this young actor for a tour next season throughout England and the continent, in which case we are afraid it will be a long time before the people of Greensboro will have an opportun ity of seeing this talented and pleas- ng young actor again. The play of "David Garrick" is one of the most humorous and laughable on the stage today, especially when Garriek meets the queer people at Trigots dinner, and in the third act, when Garricks breaks up the dinner party through his drunkenness, the audience is kept in one continued up roar of laughter. Early flornlnz Fire. Fire was discovered this morning about five o'clock in the rear of the Sample Brown Mercantile company's store. The fire was spreading rapidly when discovered and several goods boxes and Mr. Brown's barn were burning. The alarm was turned in immediately and the flames soon ex tingushed. Had the fire had half an hours headway the entire business part of town would most probably have been burned. The origin of the fii-e is not definitely known. It is reported that two boys smoking cigarettes were seen running from that direction just before the fire was discovered. There is a probabil ity however that the fire started from a pile of ashes thrown near the barn. Strawberries. The 'Ladies Aid Society of the First Presbyterian church, today and to night, will serve strawberries and all kinds of ices and creams at the empty store room in the Benbow, recently oc cupied by Ruben, the tailor.
