the location of the city, which is
the county seat of Guilford county,
which has no debt of any descrip-tion,
the pamphlet proceeds with
a brief history of Greensboro from
I colonial times down to the present.
The genial, healthy climate, the
elevation and the productions of
the fair Piedmont section are men-tinned,
and the importance of the
posit ii a as a railroad center is
brought prominently forward. It
is shown that on eight railroads
and their branches 2'J passenger
trains, carrying on an average 1S)7
cars, and \i{ freight trains, carry-in;
733 cars, arrive and depart
daily. Forty-four manufactories

Strategy Shown by Him at Bull Run
—A Close Shave.
Since the unveiling of Stonewall
Jackson's statue this story about
the confederate general has come
to light: On one rainy day, while
advancing on Hull Run, he'started
to rccniiinliu-r in person, and got
caught on the wrong side of a
bridge guarded by a field piece antl
some federal artillerymen. When
he discovered this Jackson did not
hesitate a moment. Galloping up
behind the men, he shouted out to I
the Officer in command : -Who di
reeled you to put that gun on the
roatl? Take it away and mount it
in the woods on the hill yonder. 1
never saw sucli a piece' of folly.
Here in the open ground your men
will be shot down from the brush
011 the other side." On he went as
though in a terrible passion, berat-ng
the officer, who colored, saluted,
apologized, and hastily gave the
order for removing the gun. Jack-son,
with his staff at his heels, gal-loped
off to the left as though to
pass down the stream, made a sud-den
turn, thundered across the
bridge and escaped. The befud-dled
officer in command of the gun
had not gone far when he suspect-ed
something wrong, hut he did
not discover who the stranger was
until next day.
A NEW IDEA IK SURGERY.
A Pain-Killing Pencil of Magic Prop-erties.
Dr. Robert Wicsendanger, of
Hamburg, has just patened a meth-od
of employing carbonic acid
to produce intesc cold, for the
purpose ef causing insensibility,
which will prove particularly use-ful
in dental operations. It is us-ed
in the form of a pencil, and any
part of the body on being rubbed
with this pencil loses sensibility,
without the freezing of the skin;
and slight surgical operations can
then be performed without causing
any pain.
Dr. Krummel experimented in the
Hamburg Hospital on a boy of 13,
who, without the slightest sign of
flinching, allowed him to make a
long and very deep cut in his leg.
the doctor having rubbed the place
with one of these pencils.
The process has the advantage
of great cheapness, for fifty or six-ty
operations can be performed
with it at a cost of a dollar or so.

11 would seem appropriate to make
i: a permanent fund bearing the
name of its author. Doubtless the
Hoard will endeavor to secure an
expression of Mr. Kludge's prefer-ence
as to the method of disposing
,•!' it, and in any case will give the
subject its best thought. Fortu-nately
the Union is not embarrassed
by debt, and can therefore see
clearly all sides of the problem.—

Pieree's Golden Medical Discovery.
Can conscientiously commend it to
careful consideration, confident of
its competency in all controllable
chronic complaints.
The "Golden Medical Discovery"
i9 the result of much research and
and wide experience, by a practical
physician of world-renown; its
formula embraces the most potent
restoratives of the whole vegetable
kingdom. It is especially recom-mended
for all blood disorders—
dvspepsia, liver and kidney com-plaints,
scrofula, salt-rheum, ca-tarrh
and consumption, in its early
Btases—insuring relief and cure in
all cases.
The Government rain-making
experiments in Texas have proved
very successful.
Mrs. Lease has been interviewed
by a reporter of the Atlanta Jour-nal,
and made him the following
prophecy of what will occur in the
future:
"Well," and Mrs. Lease weighed
her words deliberately, "the third
party candidate for President will
so confuse things that the election
will be thrown in the House of Rep-resentatives.
This will make a
Democratic President. Then the
Democrats—having been admonish-ed
by the Alliance and laborers'
movement that the people are Sov-ereign—
will hear the cry of the
people for relief from iniquitous
legislation. This done, there will
no longer be a third party—for
there will be no need for one. We
want relief, and if it comes through
the Democracy, we are willing to
be Democrats."
Money Plentiful.
Money is plentiful in Ringgold,
Ga. The .V. ..• South, of that place
publishes the following interesting
item :
"Il is not every day in the year
that a country editor is called upon
to write a receipt for $100 on one
man's subscription, but such was
our pleasant duty on last Monday.
"T. Gilford Hix, Ringgold'sclev-er
young assistant postmaster, 011
Monday, August 3, 1891, handed
the editor of the Ringgold AV»-
Si,nth a crisp one hundred-dollar
bill with the following written re-quest:
'Please send me your paper
for 100 consecutive years.'
•'We sincerely hope that Mr. Hix
may live to enjoy the perusal of his
paper until his subscription ex-pires."

guilty of the crime of providing n
war ship to be used in the subjuga-tion
of a people justly in revolt.

is an imbittous man, but he does
not aim high enough to shoot above
the target of peanut politics.—St.
