Mr. Eldridge, of the Lexington Dispatch, was here to day. Col. John N. Staples has returned from Washington, and is at his home in the city. --The Va., Midland train failed to connect with the Richmond train at Danville this morning. Col. D. B. Bell has gone down to Enfield, expecting to be absent something like ten days. The members of the Social Club are invited to meet at the residence of CoL Thos. McMahon on Thursday evening next. Mr. D. E. Stainback, who is connected with a Petersburg shoe house, went down to Company Shops this morning. ; Rev. L. W. Crawford returned from, his western trip yesterday, look ing much improved, and will go up t rim Difitnrt Conference at Winston to-morrow. Mr. J. W. Brower came up last evening to buy goods for his store at ' Liberty, and we understand made a handsome bill among our advertisers which is very natural. Gov. Scales was on the Raleigh train last night on his way to the Asheville Encampment, but after ' making diligent inquiry we failed to ascertain as to his attendants, and this we regret. ' We, have received an account of the services held in the Court house here last night in memory of General Grant, but at so late an hour (1 1 i-a o'clock) that we 'were compeled to carry it over to to-morrow. , : : ' r-The present understanding is that J the wholesale dried fruit dealers of the more important centers, as States ville, "Winston, Salisbury, Hickory, etc.i will hold a convention with Greensboro ; dealers at the Benbow House here, August 12 and 13 a .good move, for various reasons. Dr. Benbow has kindly offered the Baptists of Greensboro the use of his b'M for their Sunday services during the next three months, which kind offer they have accepted. The money collected from the primary class in the Graded School through the efforts of Miss Mamie Caldwtll, has been forwarded to Baltimore, and a receipt has been ob tained for the same. There was a better show of rain to the east and south east of us yes terday afternoon than there was here and on the west of us. Ex-Sheriff Gilmer had a good rain, the water running along the furrows of his corn field, on his farm eight miles east of town. A Five Years' Boom. The Richmond (Va.) State says: that "North Carolina has been enjoying a boom for the last five years," and that "her mineral resources are being de veloped steadily, her forests and quarries are being utilized and her agricultural interests grow more profi table every year." We call attention to the School advertisement of Mrs. Hundley and Miss Lindsay, which we insert to day. The editor has patronized Mrs. Hundley's School with entire satisfac tion, and believes that the association together of the two ladies will make the school yet better and stronger. To the citizens of Greensboro who. worked so faithfully on our shop at the fire of Sunday morning we tender our heartfelt thanks, and es pecially to the persons who prevented the breaking open of the doors, as, had that been done, we would have lost everything. , With gratitude to all, E. C. O'Sullivan & Co. Remember the lawn party this evening on the Methodist church grounds. Let all attend who desire an evening of social enjoyment, and they will find, in addition to other at tractions, that abundant preparation in the way of refreshments has been made to supply all demands. Es pecial attention has been given to providing a sufficient number of seats. If it should be damp this evening the refreshments will be served in the basement of the church. John Hampton, son of our neigh bor Mr. J. S. Hampton, while look ing in the ruins of Messrs. Wharton & Stratford's store house yesterday, dis covered quite a quantity of silver coin of the various denominations, from a Spanish dollar down to 6 1-4 cents. He carried it to Mr. Wharton who retained the large pieces and shoved back to John a quantity of small coins, one of which proved to be a 6 1-4 cents, an old time "four, pence ha' penny," the 16th part of a dollar. 'This piece is stamped with the image and superscription of "Carolus III, Dei Gratia", and bears date of 1784. ' Many' years ago there was a quantity of Spanish currency in circulation here $1.00, 25 cents, tats cents and 6 1-4 cents. The 12 1-2 cents' piece was called, in Virginia, a "nine pence," the 25 cent piece was a ,"2 ' and 6. pence.".: But these old coins are now "among the things that were" ' . " ; The Guilford Oo.Teachere' Institute. The Guilford County Teachers' Institute, which opened with such en couraging' prospects yesterday in Bogart't -Hall, has had large addi tions to-day. About 4o teachers, not including visitors, were present, and all interested and enthusiastic. The sessions are held from 9 till 2, and all who are interested in the edu cation of children are cordially wel comed at all times. "Durham O C O Cotton." This is the brand name of what appears, beyond question, to be an excellent article of yard wide cotton goods, manufactured by the Durham Cotton Mills. It closely resembles the heavier grade of Pepperell goods, and evi dently must have the quality of dura bility. Wc do not know the price of these goods, but we venture that it is reasonable compared with its intrinsic value, and we must congratulate the Company onbeingableto show such a beautiful fabric at this early stage of their operations. Died, suddenly, at his home, Danvilie, Va., Sunday night, July 26th, Mr. S. H. Yates, about 49 years of age. The deceased was well known by many of our citizens. He came to Greensboro about the year 1S50, to learn the tinsmith's trade, with his btother, the late Mr. Charles G. YU, living here several years, and by his genial disposition made many warm friends. He then went to Prattville, Ala., and engaged in busi ness, thence, after a few years, to Pensacola, Fla., where he was at the outbreak of the late war. Hs came to Danville, Va., about the year 1862, and was employed in government or railroad work until near the close of the war, when, he engaged in the tin and stove business at that place. While in Prattville, Ala., he made the acquaintance of Miss Crane, of Newark, N. J., a most estimable lady, whom he married. She sur vives him, and with other relatives and friends, mourns his departure from this life to that better. From the Ashes. The plan for the rebuilding of the Fields & Causey block has been agreed upon, and as we understand it,, will be an improvement ob the original. First, the three stores win divide the space equally, so as to re duce the width of the store on the South side and give the excess to the one on the North that was narrower than it should have been. The same ground will be occupied with the single change in manner of distribu tion. Then the middle store will be two stories, and the' stores on either side single, by which the upper story of the ceater store will stand to itself and haye the advantage of good ven tilation and light The rear confor mation will be a modification of the old plan, which our imperfect knowl edge will not permit us to describe iii detail. 1 ' t, -..: v ' ' Mr. Warton, we understand, will build also as soon as he can reach a decision as to what he wants. . -. So far as relates to the rebuilding of the Baptist church, the following from the Raleigh Evening Visitor of yesterday is all that we have at pres ent: "The Greensboro Fire A tel egram was received by the Sunday school of the Second Baptist church on yesterday morning, and read in open school, when a collection was taken and $o was raised, and a com mittee appointed to forward the mon ey and sympathy of the school to Rev. Mr. Gwaltney to assist in re building his church. A collection was taken last night after services in the church for the same object ; the amount raised we did not learn." A New Industry for Greens boro Ice Machine anitRefricer atino Company. With the mercury in the nineties and big fires raging, it does us good, and makes us cool to talk of anything that is cold. Mr. Frank A. Smith, of the Wood-Bailie Ice Machine and Refrigerating Com pany of New York, is stopping at the McAdoo House, and proposes to get up a close stock company in Greens boro to manufacture ice. With the facilities for shipping that we have in this city "five different directions by railroad" and the demand for good ice at reasonable prices, there is no reason why every citizen in this and the adjoining cities and towns should not have ice and keep cool. Mr. Smith comes well recommended, having just completed a machine at Lynchburg, Va., and has the endorse ment of the company there which is composed of the leading business men of that city. We will have more to say again on this subject. We clip the following from the Lynchburg Virginian of a late date: "Such is the demand for the manu factured ice that the Lynchburg Ice Refrigerator Company have placed a fine sixty-horse steel boiler in position and are contemplating the erection of another ten-tou machine. Ice is now within the reach of everybody." This from the . Fitchburg, Mass., paper: "The Putnam Machine company have been manufacturing ice this hot weather with a Wood & Bailie ice machine. Outside the machine the mercury was at 106, while inside solid cakes of ice were formed. A machine of this pattern at Lynchburg, Va., makes 15 tons of ice daily. . "A block or ice about 24' inches long, 14 inches wide and 8 inches thick with a mackerel frozen in the middle of the block was exhibited in the window of Spinney's market to day. The block was frozen in the ice machine at Putnam's machine works." . ' "Boss" Crackers I The finest Cream Crackers in the city, at , 7 Scott k Co. 's. Jaly 27 tf .
