punishment and she did it well.

beautifully decorated; the color scheme
being white and green. The marriage

menace than ever before.

(Special Correspondence)
Greensboro, Dec. 12. There was a
II!- 1, .
rumor afloat in other sections of the
State this morning purporting to have
been based on information received
from Greensloro that First Vice-President
A. B. Andrews had resigned from
the Southern Railway. There was not
the slightest foundation for such a re-!
port, so far as any one here could say.
Col, Andrews was here yesterday en
route to Washington, and not the least
intimation of any such step was given
by him to the assistant division coun
sel, the railway law agent, or to Divis
ion Superintendent W. S. Andrews, re
siding here.
It is generally understood here that
beginning January 1st, a number of
Southern Railway men will be taken
from Greensboro, among them being
Superintendent W. S. Andrews, of the
Danville Division, and one of the most
popular superintendents ever located
here. It is also said that the depart
ment of car l ecords, which was moved
from Greensboro to Danville last spring
will be transferred in January from
Danville to Washington.
, Other changes, which are hoped and
intended to greatly facilitate the hand
ling of the present demoralized and con
gested Southern railway traffic and
transportation conditions, and improve
the capacity and efficiency of the ser
vice are reported to be contemplated on
the coming of the new year. Every
one of the present divisons of the great
system will be divided into two, and in
some territory three, divisions and the
number of superintendents will be in
creased in proportion. It is conceded
that the Danville division is the most
congested piece of railroad property in
the country, nnd it will be subdivided
into three divisions.
Smallpox Fading Away.

Raleigh, Dec 12 The city health offi
cer reports 20 cases in the small pox
pest house which is maintained jointly
by . the city and county, of these, five
being from the county. There has been
some suggestion of a new - building at
the pest house, exclusively for white
women, and well fitted up, but the dis
ease seems to have abated very greatly
in the county and it may not be neces
sary to have such a building this sea
son.

Mrs. Alice P. Thomas, who for sev

Greensboro, Dec. 13tb. The current
number of the State Normal Magazine,
is in the nature of a memorial volume
to the late president of the college, Dr.
Charles Mclver.
It contains the address of Mr. Bryan,
the sermon of Dr. . Crawford, speeches
by prominent men on the occasion of
the memorial exercises here on Novem
ber 20th and other contributions of val
ue and. interest' relating to Dr. Mc-
Iver's splendid life and his tragic death.
Preserving in a permanent form, those
tributes of Bryan, Alderman, Superin
tendent Joyner and others, is a most
valuable conception and execution. Mrs.
Annie G. Randall, the managing editor,
and her assistants have done a good
work in preserving in this permanent
form, the valuable contributions. It is
hoped that a great many copies of the
magazine will be ordered for preserva
tion, not only by individuals, but by
public organizations, for it is a capital
complication of the best that has baen
said in press or on the platform of the
devoted and splendid North Carolinian.
The editor's announcement is brief;
"The compiling of this memorial num
ber of our magazine is the loving trib
ute paid to our best and strongest
friend, by the diors."
In the superior ceurt this morning a
young man named If. C. Rouse was con
victed of stealing two overcoats from
passengers on a Southern railway train
between Salisbury and High Point. In
sentencing him to 8 months on the
roads, Judge Moore said that passengers
on trains having baggage were more or
less at the mercy of thieves, and the
stealing of such articles had to be pun
irhed. Rouse proved a good character
lor industry and good behavior. He was
22 years old was an intelligent, well
dressed looking fellow. He worked in
High Point, and was of a good Davie
county family. He had been in Salis
bury and loaded up on liquor, and with
a companion, Cap Cope, took the over
coats. Cope deposited two hundred
dollars as bond for his appearance for
trial but forfeited the money rather
than stand trial.
Charles Hairston who shot a negro at
the double tracking camp near James
town last summer, pleaded guilty of as
sault with deadly weapon and was sen
tenced to 12 months on the roads. The
man he shot lingered between life and
death in a hospital at Charlotte for
several montlu but has fuily recover
ed.
At a called meeting of the board of
aldermen, last night, the proposition of
the Southern Railway to construct via
ducts at the Fulton and Market street
crossings was read. According to the
terms of the proposition the Southern
Railway will build steel structures for
the viaducts, and the city will do the
excavating. The mayor and city clerk
were authorized to sign the agreement,
This matter has been hanging fire for
some time, and the news that an agree
ment was finally reamed between the
city and railroad will be gladly received
by the public.
The Christmas con cert to be given by
the Greensboro Musical Association at
the opera house next Friday evening,
promises to be the greatest musical
event of the season. The chorus con

voices in Greensboro, the orchestra:
numbers about fifteea pieces.
On account of the immense amount of
business done by the local freight office
of the Southern Railway it has been
recommended by the officials here that
a transfer station be built at or nearthe
Pomona station. The business of the
station will be reloading and repacking
curs. -Plans for the building have been
submitted to the head office at Wash
ingfon, but so far no reply has been re
ceived. The company recently pur
chased a ten acre tract of land on the
south side of the tract at the point
named and building will perhaps be lo-

"Since the year 1894 I have been
troubled with a very bad case of

It was imnossible for me to ret

eczema first appeared on the top of j
my head, and it had worked all the 1

so I would be obliged to scratch it

"I would first wash the affected
