The Special Train Passed Through Here Last Night The special train, which was run from Raleigh to bring the soldiers of the Second regiment to iheir homes in the western part of the state, passed through here last night about 6:40 o'clock. On account of the short no tice given very few people were at the depot to welcome the boys home. Nearly all of Captain Gray's com pany were on, but many of them are from High Point, Lexington and sta tions on the Winston road and only a few of them are well known here. Much anxiety was felt by a few mothers whose sons did nut come. Ten of every company were left in Raleigh as guards and these are most probably among that number. All the boys seem to be in love with Captain Gray. Many who were not in his company said he was the best offi cer in the regiment. They said the Greensboro company was welj officered from captain down, while some of them did not lavish praise upon the officers of their own company. Many of the boys were "celebrating" their furloughs and a few were rather rowdy around the depot. Nearly all the Second's boy9 are at home this morning after an absence of four months in answer to their country's call. They have done their duty and the people of the state will bless them for it.

People Are Looking Toward the City of Floweis. A gentleman now residing in the far west is in correspondence with a citi zen of Gretnsboro with a view to lo cating here. He has asked questions concerning the climate, the growth of the city, the opening for certain lines of business, etc., all of which have been answered. Another gentleman is corresponding with the same party and wants to know if there is an opening here for an art store, a place where all kinds of artists material are kept paints, oils, brushes, easels, canvas, pictures, frames, curtains, shades, curtain poles, hangers and all goods of that class. The proper information has been given him. Greensboro is attracting wide-spread attention. The climate is nowhere finer than in the Piedmont section of North Carolina in the foothills of the mountains. No city is better located than is Greensboro, or has better rail road advantages; and none is enjoy ing a more encouraging or substantial growth. Moving Along.

Early this morning Chief of Police Rees received a postal card, which reads as follows: 'A Boy Lost Dillard Powell, age 4 years, weight 90 pounds, very light hair, fair complected, with small light blue eyes, dark drab clothes, wore a cap and was bare-footed. The last seen of Dillard Powell was Monday, September 19th, in the afternoon, when he was in company with a tramp who persuaded the boy to accompany him south. Description of tramp: Five feet nine inphes tall, smoothe shaved, black hat, black coat, pocket in right side torn to bottom of coat, brown striped pants. "Any information inform "H. N. Dyer, "Chief of Police. "Roanoke, Va., Sept. 20, 1898." The postal was placed in the hands of Officer Scott. About 10 o'clock a woman named Jenkins complained to Officers Scott and Pearce, who were standing together on the street, that a boy whom she had allowed to spend last night at her home had stolen her son's coat and left. About two hours afterward Officer Scott found the boy and arrested him He first said he was from Atlanta and was 14 years old. Afterward he gave hit name as George Brown, and said he lived in Danville. He answers the description exactly, except that his hair is not "very light" and he wears shoes. He said that his father was an in surance agent in Danville until his death three years ago. His mother, he says, has been dead ten years, and that he is the only living member of the family. He knows very little, how ever, of Danville, but seems to be wel'l acquainted with Salem, Va.. where he says he has never been. He would answer no questions concerning Roan oke. Officer Scott is satisfied that the boy is the one wanted there, and will notify the authorities. The description he gives of one of the tramps tallies exactly with that given by the Roanoke authorities. He is a shrewd boy and was loubt- less well informed by the tramp. UNDER GOLDEN SKIES. j A North Carolina Book by a North Carolina Author. After a hurried tcrusal of Mrs. Os- born's new book, "Under Golden Skies or in the New Eldorado," we feel prepared to say it is a book of rare and genuine merit. It is a story of Southern life North Carolina life. The scene is laid in North Carolina and the characters are real with but few exceptions. The int oductory was written by Howard A. Banks, of Char lotte, and we quote from him: "The story is more than founded on fact. It is a story of all facts. The little fiction in it is chiefly to link to gether the real episodes in the history of friends in the flesh and to make the sketch an harmonious whole. "Supremest motive of all, the book is sent forth by the author in the lov ing hope that it. may appeal to 'the angels of our better natures;' that it may stimulate to a truer, better, richer, higher, holier life; that it may shed some sunlight into darkened hearts, some melody in songless li.es; that it may encourage desponding souls to mount up, in hope and faith, as on eagles' wings, above obscuring clouds, until, "Under Golden Skies" indeed, they bask continually in the flooding sunlight of God's love and peace and promises." We take pleasure in commending the book. It is dedicated by the authoi as a memorial of her admiration for the gallant deeds of the brave and no ble heroes of America who have made the history of our war a glorious her itage. It is handsomely printed and bound and should meet fith a larye sale. Connecticut Democrats. By Wire to The Telegram.
