NEW ENTERPRISE
m MI. Jllir, N, C.
Mt. Airy, N. C., Oct. 19.—The Spar
ger Orchard Co's display of fine ap
ples at the Greensboro Fair this
week is attracting great interest.
Hundreds of people attending the
fair are greatly surprised to learn
of the beauty and excellence of the
fruit growing in this section of the
country, the flavor of which has
never been excelled if equalled. The
orchards belonging to the Sparger
Company contain hundreds of acres of
apples and the orchards are very
young, consequently the investment,
it might be said, is just beginning to
pay a little.
The Southern Shirt Company is a
new infant industry just starting up
in this city. The men who are inter
ested in this new enterprise are full
of pluck and energy and it is safe to
predict that the acorn that they are
now planting will develop a tall oak
by and by.
The produce buyers of this city
bought 50,000 pounds cabbage Wed
nesday.

First Baptist Church of this city yes
terday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The handsome church had been ap

were banked with handsome palms,
ferns and evergreens.
This wedding has been of much in

and many out-of-town guests were
here for the occasion.
There is more Catarrh in this sec

pronounced it a local disease and pre

stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional cure on the market. It. is taken
internally in doses fronv 10 drops to
a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

Lull In Financial
Situation in New York
New York, Oct. 19. —There was a I
distinct lull in the financial situa
tion which was very welcome in
Wall Street today. In comparison j
with yesterday excitement had ma
terially subsided. While price of thej
metal stocks declined on the stock j
exchange, the losses were not sensa
tional and the prices of railroad stocks,

weak and at the lowest prices of the!
day, the net losses for the day were
not so heavy as yesterday and have 1
caused no uneasiness.
The Danger
High

of the country's export trade, was
sounded last night by C. W. Macar&, at
a banquet given to the European Cot
ton Manufacturers.
Mr. Macara is the largest individual
cotton manufacturer in the world.
He declares that the continued high
prices of raw cotton in America would
force England, France and other coun
tries to develop their own cotton grow
ing industries in their colonies.
The Mediaeval Grocer.
V
From the London Daily News.
In an interesting and informing lec
ture last night at the Agricultural Hall
Mr. J. Aubrey Rees discoursed on
"Grocers Past and Present." Grocers,
he said, were once called pepperers.
because they dealt in pepper and
spices. Their history would seem to
begin about. 11S0, when there is an
entry on the Pipe Rolls referring to
the London Guild of Pepperers; then,
in 1310, Mr. Rees finds a reference in
the city records to one William Cham
ber 1 - being aunrerHood to John Guter,
a "grossarius," of Soper lane. The
title seems due to the dealings in
things by the gross —i. e., in quanti
ties.
"In those days grocers ministered to
the luxuries of the rich; now," said
Mr. Rees, tersely, "they distribute the
necessities of the poor." The appear
ance of tea changed the business great
ly, and took the place of drugs, which
Parliament forbade grocers to sell.

doubloon, paid $3OO last night for a
United States half cent of 1796, said to
