weeks, were mustered in last Friday,
and today they passed through Greens
boro enroutc to Chicamauga to go in
to camp there.There were several train
loads- of them and they were an unu
sually fine looking set of men. most of
them above the average height and
well built. They were in good spirits.
More New Dwellings.
There is something like a building
boom in southeast Greensboro. On
McAdoo avenue Mr. Donnell has just
completed two new dwellings and is
now building another. Mr. W. C.
Bain is putting up a nice dwelling on
Pearson street, next to Mr. T. T.
Brooks' and on the same street work
has been begun on dwellings by Mr.
J. A. Clifton and another gentleman,
whose name we have forgotten. The
latter is next door to Mr. Turner
Rankin's.

This is the growing season. An
other new building, to be used as a
machine shop by J. M. Clymer, is to
be erected at once on the south side of
Lewis steeet, next to John Lewis' shop.
Let the good work continue. Busi
ness enterprises of this kind are the
ones which form the backbone of a
city. All such should be encouraged.

remains to be seen.

the Spanish squadron is thought to be
intended to delay action until the
rainy season. Hence the decision for
an immediate invasion.

' Gloom in Washington.
Washington, May 17 The situation
looks more serious today from an
American point of view. The fear is
expressed that should Carvera suc
ceed in increasing his fleet it will equal
either one of ours. Naval officers,
however, refuse to entertain any doubt
as to the result of a naval engage
ment, but these assurances do not allay
anxiety.
Everything has come to a standstill,
while every one waits for news from
Sampson. There are more wives and
d;iughtersof naval officers here than in
aMy city in the country and their depres
gion, together with the general anxie
ty concerning the squadrons, hangs
like an oppressive cloud over the en
tire city. The war board is assisting
the movements of the .army along the
line.
