The ladies of West Market street churcb aid society feel tht they have been the recipients of eo many favors from the public in general as well as from many individuals in particular, that they can only express their grati tude in the wcrds of the poet: "When I begin the praise, Where will the glowing numbers end?" The cbrys ntbemum show h-s been an unqualified successs and the ladies herewith acknowledge their indebted n ss to the generous patronage of their many friends who have so nobly ral lied to their aid. Th y feel, however, that their thanks would be inadequate ly expressed if hey failed to mention the special kindness of the liberal bus iness men who contributed the pr;zes; the many kindly notices of the Tele gram and Record, which so widely advertised the occasion; the courtesy of the Odd rellows through Mr. Mc Lean, who made it possible to have the display by lending their building; and the special favors of the follow ing individuals: Messrs.

Reagan, of Austin, Texas, was in the city a short while lastnight, returing home from the convention of the Daughters of the Confederacy in Richmond. Mr. Reagan was accom panied by Mrs. Reagan. He and his wife were in one of the Pullman cars attached to No. 35, and while the train stopped here they remained quietly In t- e car, and only a few people at the d- pot knew of their presence. To a Telegram representative Mr. Reagan said: "I was glad to go back to the old capital once more. I spent four years there during the war, and they have been pleasant memories in many respects. I knew President Davis well and made a few remarks concerning him at the unveiling of the Winnie Davis monument inRichmond Thursday." For some years Mr. Ragan has been the only surviving member of the Con federate cabinet. He was in closest personal relation with President Da vis during the war, and after the evac uation of Richmond accompanied Mr. Davis to Danville and afterward to Georgia where he was made ac'ing secretary of the treasury.

Will Be Sold at the Big Land Sale on fTinday. Teal estate is the foundation of all wealth, and is that element out o' whi'-.h the mo6t secure fortunes have been created. Money invested in real estate in the line of growth of thriving cities las for years p-oved to be botI safe and prcfi'.abl-, as is evidenced by the great fortun s built up in al the large cities. Nothing else has the afetyand certainty of increased value, ai d at the same t'me provides such absolute security for the money in vented . Ex G ivernor Flower, of New York, says : ''You cannot duplicate real estate You can duplicate any other kind of security, and ss the country grows rel e-tate will improve in value. It is the best investment for small savings, to make th -m the basis of a fortune." At this time, when it is possible to purchase desirable home sites at such low prices, it would stem that any one who cared to invest a small amount where it is su' to increase rapidly, would seize tbe opportunity to secure a few of the lots which are being so'd at public auctTon. On Monday the public will have an opportunity to make some money surely, and quickly, and witho t lisk. Greensboro isgro ing, ard tbe time is at hand when land in its vicinity will double - It will p y you to think this over and act. Put your money into somethirg that is swifter and surer than a savings bank, and nothing in sight is better than property in the Vanbockelin addition Sale Monday, Nov. 13th, 2:3Jo'clock p. m.

THE MARYLAND LEGISLATURE Elec'ed List Tuesday Will Not Choose a Senator Tbe State Will Remain Democratic. Special to the Tujcgraji . Washington, Nov. 11 At th Hotel Chambarlin, Sanuel Parker is among the prominent guests. Col. Parker was formerly the prime minister of the Hawaiian government, during the reign of Queen Lillunkelini. He is not a stranger here, as he has visited here several times. The colonel is also well known throughout the south ern states, having been a frequent vis itor to Texas, Mississippi, South Car olina and other states of tbe south. Colonel Parker owls a fine cattle ranch on the Hawaiian Islands, his ranch furnishing the chief supply oi beef for Honolulu. Senator Clark, of Wyoming, is a close friend of Col. Parker. The sen ator is also in Washington, and is stopping at Hotel Chaimberlln. Col. Parker is a native Hawaiian, having vrv little yankee blood In his veins. His grandfather was born in this country; it ii said that he was originally from Maine. The Colonel himself has nearly all the character istics of an Hawaiian, being rather dark in his complexion, so much bo that he has on more than one occasion been taken for a negro. Col. Parker stated the other day that matters in Hawaii are in a favor able condition. Business, he says, is good at Honolulu, and the country in a floe cond tion ge' erally. Agricul ture is thriving, and the prospects good for tine crops. Parker will remain in Washington for s 'me time and will probably visit a few eastern cities during bis stay in this country. In spite of the apparent defeat of Governor Tyler for election to the United States Senate to succeed Sena tor Martin, it is stated by one of his friends who was in Washington the other day that he would not issue any card, withdrawing from the con test, but that he would remain a candidate un til the question of the succession i definitely decided by the legislature of Virginia. Governor Tyler, the gentle man stated, is a candidate for the United States senate, and is a candi date before the democratic caucus, and that the question cannot be settled in advance of the meeting ot the legisla ture. The result of tbe ehctions last Tuesday, in Virginia, according to tbe gentleman giving the information will not make any difference in the in tention of the governor to contest for the seat in the senate before the demo cratic cau:us The result of the Maryland election has caused gossip to begin as to the next senator to succeed Senator Wel lington The legislature elected last Tuesday will ,.ot choose a senator, but the legislature elected nexC year will The result of the elections make it al most certain that the democrats will control the Maryland legislature on joint ballot when a new senator is to be chosen. It is the general opinion that the feud which has been engender ed between the friends of Senator WelliDsrton and Governor Lowndes will cause Mary 'and to remain demo cratic. senator Uorman is spoiten oi as the probable successor to Senator Wellington. Outside of Maryland be is the unanimous choice of democrats, all of whom would like to see him in the eenatt again. Lueco Lloyed has been commis sioned postmaster at Gath, North Car' olina. Henry C. McMillan has been com missioned postmastor at Parkton, North Carolina. HANGED AT GREENVILLE. Elias Joyner Said He Alone Was Guilty of the Dongola Murder.

Crowell and his able corps of teache s is one of the bright est -stars in the galaxy of southern public institutions of learning. The Enterprise has come into pos session of news of a startling nature, which if true will be a bonanza to those interested. The story is said to be related by a minister and the par ticulars are as follows: Years ago there lived in iRandolpb county two brothers by the name of Edwards, who married sisters Hamiltons, of the same count and went to New York City, where they were very successful One child, a daughter, was born into their household. The property of the brothers' families went to this daugh ter at their dea'h, and it is claimed that none other than the prince of merchants, A. T. Stewart, became her husband. They were childless, and at Mr. Stewart's death all of his property went to his wife, who has since died. Some time ago the heirs were advertised for, and through a merchant at Jackson Hill, who was in New York at the time, the said-to-be lawful heirs in Randolph county (who the mere n ant knew) received their in formation. Several lawyers are now looking into the matter, and they re port thirteen million dollars on hand, and that the entire estate of the late A. T. Stewart is worth over sixty mil lions of dollars. Just to think, If the lawful heirs re side in Randolph county, that this vast wealth will fall into their hands. Yum, Yum, Yuml KILLS WIFE AND HIMSELF. Kern's Desperate Crime In tbe Face of a Crowd.
