goods department store of Julius Mey

quarter of a block on Broad street, to
gether with the stock and fixtures, was

horse ran into it in such a manner aj
to overturn ttie buggy. Both ladies

running only a short distance, but the
ladies were badly shaken up and bruis
ed. They were taken into the residnece
of Mr. Dodson and remained there all
the morning. This afternoon they were
sufficiently recovered to transact their
business in the city, but their nervous
system will not get over the shock for
some time.
The driver of the dray says that his
hor3e was running and he could not
control it.

cent looking little paragraph yesterday

suspicion and behold the' suprise of
Greensboro friends when they read the
following in the Charlotte Observer
this morning:

Miss Minnie Blackburn,, of the sam.p
place, were married in the parlors of

the wedding arrangements were soon

city, and have hundreds of friends who
wish them great happiness.
Fire in South Greensboro.
An alarm of fire was turned in this
afternoon about two o'clock for a fire
located in the residence of Mr. A. M:
Johnson on Arlington street. Mr.
Johnson's daughter, Miss Kate, made
a . fire in a little one story room by t&e
side, of the . house; and it is supposed
that a spark from this fire set the roof
.on fire. Some one passing on Elm
street, a block away, saw the blaze and
running across lots, with the
a ladder handy, put the fire out by the
time the firemen were on the spot. The
entire fire department turned out but
were not needed.
Took His Hat.
Last night Mr. J. A. Logan, wh
boards at Mrs. Myricks boarding house
on Summit avenue, saw a strange
loafing on the street immediately in
front of the house. He went out and
asked the man if he was looking for
any one.' The stranger replied n-t,
but he still continued to hang around
he place. When Mr. Logan retired
he left his hat down stairs in the par
lor. Upon looking for it this morning;
he was uhable to find it and he thinks
the man hanging around there - last
night now possesses it.

MR. CURTIS LEAVES MT.AItMT
Will Become Superintendent of
" Schools in Burlington Highljr
Appreciated at Mt. Airy.
Mt Airy, April 10. The information
that Superintendent F. H. Curtiss, of
the graded schools of Mt. Airy, nad
tendered his resignation to the -Boara'
of Education, to take effect at the
close of the scholastic year, came as' a
sau a.nu serious surprise iu me cuueiw
Of the town and especially to the pat--rons
of the school, whose children have
been under his educational direction
and influence for the past three years.
Because he had assumed charge of qvly
schools by unanimous invitation, be
rause from the very first he had shapK
ed and directed their scope and course
of study, because he had manifested
earnest interest in the fixed and strong
establishment of one of the very 4 best
graded schools in the State, because of
the high esteem in which he is hole1
not only as an instructor, but as a citi
zen as well, because he and his family
are most pleasantly regarded as resi
dents of thistown, and because it .was
.earnestly hoped by all that he would
remain permanently with us, the Board
of Education and the patrons of the
school had become to regard his per
manent, residence among us as a mat
ter of course, and had no thought ot
his making a change.
Tnnnirv. r11sr1rv3pri tTia frt that rhft
progressive people of Burlington have
ambition along the line of education
al advancement just as our people
liave, and, having ample means at
their command, set about the sel6ctfbT
of a superintendent who should kffow
how o arrange, direct and conduct
in a successful manner a graded school.
Without any .definite knowledege or as
surance as to their ability to secure
him, they, through, their trustees, elect
ed Prof. Curtiss suDerintendent of their
duwu fluu iscur uiiu jl : wuetr r w
tion. - i ! ' i v -
Notwithstanding the fact that the I
attendance of the Burlington schools
will be erpat.lv ln ayeg nt.
our own, and that the- salary
offered him is larger than that he: was
K receiving here, Prof. Curtiss took the
matter under careful advisement and
rightly, as we are at last forced to
admit, has accented the nosition ' Thus
in, an enlarged; field of usefulness, hef
contiues.vhis chosen' life work in : our
$tate ' and .for our ' State, arid we be-
speak for him such measure of success
.
in his new field of labor as his true
worth merits. We surrender him to
Purlington with deep regret, yet feel
ing that our loss will be Burlington's
gain.
