Our city Fathers in their last meet
ing had the pig pen before them, and
intimated that in all probability the
pig pen would have to go between
now and the first of February 1890.
The question of permittine pig pens
in the city roust always be one of in
terest, but one who has investigated
will almost if not quite come to the
conclusion that more depends upon
whose pig it is than upon pig or no
pig. Just so it is about the use of
tobacco. The habit of using tobacco
is a filthy one, but who has not seen
quite 'as f.lthy men who did not use
the weed at all?
What we mean to say is, the nui
sance there is about a pig pen depends
upon how the pen is kept. In one of
the most cleanly back yards we have
observed in the city was kept a fatten
ing hog; but the owner took great
pains to keep the pen clean. It was
frequently washed out, and emitted
little or no odor. The are some kitch
ena in this city not so cleanly . as that
pig sty.
Now if the city Fathers forbid the
pig pen because of the odors emitted,
and its menace to health, it would
seem to be proper to require the re
moval of anything and everything else
in any other yard that is not in harmc
ny with the sanitary idea. If the pig
must go let him take with him . every
thing in the same line. But it has
been suggested that there be certain
limits only of the city in which the pig
shall not be allowed, and that he be
permitted in certain other parts not so
densely populated. Let the people
send in their wishes on this subject
BAPTIST CHURCH TO-NIGHT. J
' There will be a prayer meeting ser
vice in the Baptist cturch tonight, be-
gining at 7:30 oclock, in connection
with which there will be talks on the
subject oi the late Baptist State Con
vention at Shelby. It will be an inter
esting occasion.'
FROM SOUTH-WEST VA.
Mr. W. R. Land, one of our lively
and enterprising real estate dealers
has just returned from a trip to South'
west Va. and expresses a high opinion
of what he saw of the country and the
business methods prevailinz over
there. He saw men from Boston and
other parts North who expressed ad
miration for the South and its resour
ces. Mr Land put in words in favor
of Greensboro and our own section of
the South-land. He is anxious to pro
mote the well-being of Greensboro
and vicinity. .
' NOW FOR THE OFFICES. I
From now on, the newspapers will
be presenting the names, of their favor-
ites for speaker of the next Congress,
for speaker of the lower House of the
Sute Legislature, and ior the clerkships
of the two Houses. Lively times are
coming, and after the elections are
over there will be ten disappointed
aspirants for every one that attained
success.

A gentleman came into this office
some time ago and gave our reporter
an idea that enables him to account
for the extreme age to which persons
here and vondcr have attained. 1 he
idea was suggested upon hearing
certain reckless character tell
travels, and how many years he staid
at this place, that place and the other
place.. After the extravagant speaker
had finished his story our; informant
added ujrthe different years said to
have been spent in the roundand the
whole sum was about one hundred, and
seventy-five years! 'Commenting on
this rpgult our fnend said that in this
way a man might easily get to be two
hundred years 01a. , t
SCARCITY OF BUILDING MA
TERIAL. '
The Alamance Gleaner complains
of the scarcity of building ' material in
the Graham section. ; Greensboro
generally has a good supply, and pos
sibly our dealers could fill the bill for
I Graham.i We are already furnishing
brick for Burlington.
This WoiisJiANS Correspondent say
in addition to what we published yes
terday, that Rev. T. L. Foster of Ral
eigh is Secretary The report on
Missions awakened much enthusiasm.
The body adopted a strong report on
Temperance, leaning decidedly to the
side of Prohibition. It is expected
that- today will be the most lively
day of the session, and that the Con
ference will close tomorrow.
A PLUCKY GIRL.
The editi-i of the Sun newspaper, at
Fargo, North Dakota, left his house a
few days ago, telling his family that ne
was going down the street to hear the
latest election news. For some reason
he never returned, and it is thought
that he was temponaUy deranged.
However, the man's daughter keeps
the paper going, and everybody hopes
she will succeed. .
The Evening Star of Washington of
yesterday contains the particulars of
a' difficulty between young Butler,
a nephew of Senator Butler of South
Carolina, and Mr. Thos. H: Tate, of
Greensboro, bth of whom are em
ployes of the Navy Department
On iheir way home from a visit to
some quarter of the city, and at an ear-
Iv hour of the rooming, in close prox
imity to the Star office, a rude play
between the two began which resulted
in Tate drawing a pen knife lnfflictmg
several serious but not fatal gashes
uuon the person of Butler. The pc
. .
ice interfered and Jhe difficulty ended.
Butler was carried to a hospital.
- Rumors weie flying herethat Butler, s
injuries were mortal, tc, &c,,but Dr.
McAden-iust from Washington, reports
that Butler is getting along very well
Tate will be bailed as a matter of
course.

TRIED MUD.
A man in Tersey city who had been
imbibina too freely of beer, losj his bal
ance jnd tried to commit suicide by
drowning himself in mud. ' When ar-
raicmed before a iustice his clothes
o , -
were covered with mud and filth from
the meadow into which he had thrown
himself. The justice gave him thirty
days in which to dry out . r
wm UNAPPRECIATED.
This is what the Standard, at Con
cord," has to say in speaking of its
efforts to rive the people of that town
rA wrtim a coed, newspaper. - In
truth, the appreciation has quite as
much to do 'with producing a good
paper as the paper has . to do in pro
ducing appreciation. There is, more
properly speaking, an interdependence
between the two.
A TARANTULA.
As one of the clerks at the store of
L W. Scott & CO., in this city, was in
the act of removing a bunch of ban
anas, near dusk last evening, he got a
elimps of a large insect of the spider
species, which ran off "from the ban
anas and concealed itself behind some
barrels- - The appearance of. the. in
sect and the refuge from which it ran
out suggested the idea that it was a
tarantula, and for several minutes there
was a search made for the strange
creature, attended, however, with the
utmost caution lest some one ; should
be bitten. Presently the insect was
discovered and so far disabled as to
permit n examination. Last night
opinion was divided as to -- whether or
not It was a tarantula, but on consult
ing entomology this morning votes
were gained on the affirmative side.,
The fact is, the tarantula is rtothine
more than a spider at best, ; and takes
its name from Taranto, in the South of
Italy ' The probability that this is a
tarantula is strengthened v by the fact
that he was found among the bananas,
and that the bananas came from Italy.
But there is a fact in connection with
the tarantula not in harmony with the
impressions of the people, and that is
that the bite of the insect produces a
trifling effect about equal to the sting
of a wasp, and that it is popularly sup
posed to be cured by music' So much
for the tarantula.
