REIDSVILLE, N. C, MAY 5, 1899 KKIDSTILLE BOXDS IJf DE.HAXD. Sealed bids for Reidsville's im provement bonds were opened at the town Lai. Tuesday sight in the pres ence of the board of town commis sioners. Quite a number of visiting financiers from Chattanooga, Lvncu burg, Danville, C.'.arlotte, New York, Cincinnati and other cities were pre sent, ': Bids were received from financial houses in Cincinnati, Clevelaud.Jsew York, Chattanooga, Lynchburg. Char lotte and other places, each bid being accompanied by certified checks for two per cent of t tie a mou nt of the bond issue. Bids had been asked for on $25,000 thirty years 5 per cent, bonds, and $7,500 twenty-two years 6 per cent, bonds. The offers were surprisingly good and afforv.ed much pride and gratification to every citizen of the town. The best ofTer on the 5 per cent3 was made by a Cincinnati house whose bid was $109.40, The best offer on the 6 per cents, was $118.86, which came from a Lynchourg house. It has been stated that these are the highest offers ever before made for municipal bonds. Five, or even three years ago, it is doubtful whether these 5 per cent, bonds could have been sold for par, It shows that the trtditof Reidsville is exceptionally good and that there has bepn a revo lution in interest rates within the last few years. The net premiums offered by the higl'est bidders on the total issue of $32,500 bonds were $3,753. To Mr. C. N. Evans, cashier of the Bank of Reidsville. who is town treasuier, entrusted with the sale of the bonds, is due the principal credit for his energetic way of bringing them io the tttention of financiers. His .extensive acquaintance with leading brokers and monied men was of great value in placing the bonds to the best advantage and probably caused the town to rea ize over thousand dollars more than would b-ve been offered otherwise. The town commissioners will havi a special netting litis (Thursday) afternoon to awurd the boi,ds to tin successful Mddera.

I lie Late Governor Mettles. Wilmington Messenger. As we supposed Governor Scales was a native of Rockingham county. We publish a brief biographical sketch of the gallant and able gen tleman who served bis State with utmost fidelity, zeal and much use fulness in civic life as in the fierce days of war and amid '.'the fiery pangs" of fierce battle. This writer bad the pleasure of knowing Gov ernor Scales most pleasantly for more than thirty years. He recalls that the first time that he met him was in the war. He called to see him at Dr. Thomas P. A kinson's home in Danville, Va where the brave soldier was ill of typhoid fever, which he had taken in the army. Governor Scales loarried Miss Henderson, dausrhtpr the wealthiest planters in the north era section of the Sta e, the late ArctnDaia Henderson, son of the late eminent distinemishart niiiof Justice Leonard Henderson, of Granville county. We do not be lieve that North Carolina ever had a more honorable, perpendicular, faithful servant than Alfred M Scales. He richly merits a monu ment at thehaucs of the intelligent and patriotic people of that very nne county ot Kockingham. Where tha Trouble I.les.

KNOX INTERVIEWED. The Work on Reidsvi.lc System o Water works Progressing Nicely. "Work on Reidsville's system of waterworks goes merrily on, and the picks and the 6hovels in the hands of over a hundred laborers make rapid progress in laying pipes on the various streets. It was deemed proper by the special waterworks committee that the town 6hould do the work, and accordingly Prof. Knox, of Char lotte, was employed to take charge of and superintend the construction of the plant. - The con tract forsinking the large Kpecial well was let to Prof. Knox for the sum of $3SOO..OO, a bond being given by him guar teeing the quanty of water required. The contract for a 75,000-gallon steel tank and tower was let to the Chicago Bridge and Iron Co., for the sum of $3612.00. An order has been placed for the two neccessary pumps, and all contracts for valves, hydrants, fittings, etc., have been closed, the lowtst bidder securing them. Up to Tuesday, Prof. Kuqx says, there had been laid, calked and back filled 6922 feet of eight inch pipe complete. At that time there were also 1250 feet of trenchesopen and ready , for pipe. The work of West Market street will be com pleted before crossing the tricks of the Southern. "The work on location of the site for the proposed well at Richard son's creek is progressing favora bly," said Prof. Knox yesterday, "and I will soon be able to stake out land necessary for our pur poses." For a consideration, a right of way has been obtained for our force main from pumping station to the corporate limits which will reduce the cost of original estimate several hundred dollars. Now that the working force is fairly organized more rapid pro gress and early completion of the street work may be expected, pro vided there are no unexpected de lays in the arrival of material. Prof. Knox has used every pre caution to inconvenience the mer chants of the town as little as pos sible and so far has succeeded in keeping all the stretts open to traffic. Did You Have the Grip?
