Given Away "With Every Cash-in-
Advance Yearly Subscription to
The Patriot-Old and New Sub-scribers
Alike May Share the Ad-vantages
of This Offer-Read Care-fully
and Consider.
We want to introduce THE PATRIOT
in one thousand new homes in Guil-ford
and surrounding counties within
the next three months, and to aid in
that enterprise we have concluded to
make the followiug offer :
Every person paying ONK DOLLAR IN-ADVANCE
on subscription to this paper
before May 1st, 1896, will receive as a
premium ONK DOLLAR'S WORTH OK SEEDS
OR PLANTS, as he may elect, the said
seeds or plants to be sent postpaid to
any address in the United States. All
persons who have heretofore paid their
subscription to February 1, 1S99, IN
CASH, will receive one of the above-named
premiums upon application to
this office, either in person or by letter.
This offer does not apply to those who
have taken or may take advantage of
oar club rates. The payment of a
fractional part of a year's subscription
in order to reach the date referred to
(Feb. 1, 1S99,) when the same amounts
to more than twenty-five cents, will
not secure these premiums for sub-scribers.
Our purpose is to extend thisinduce-ment
to those with whom we do busi-ness
on a strictly eash-in-advanee basis
and we want it understood that all ar-rearages
must be paid before any de-linquent
subscriber can avail himself
of these privileges.
The Seed and Plants we offer as pre-miums
are all of standard varietiesand
are first-class in every respect. They
are put up by THE GREENSBORO SEED
AND PLANT CO., whose place of busi-ness
is 110 East Market street, in this
city, and they are identically the same
as sold by this reliible company to its
wholesale and retail trade. Each pack-age
of seed included in this offer con-tains
the quantity put up in the regu-lar
5-cent papers. Each Dlant is rated
at the regular retail price. In other
words, for one dollar you would get
identically the same amount of seeds
or the same number of plants at the
Seed and Plant Company's store that
we offer you free, postpaid, in case you
pay a years subscription to THE PA-TRIOT
in advance. This is absolutely
t le best offT that was ever made by
any North Carolina newspaper.
Read the following lists and see
what we propose to give you :
—A bicycle belonging to Mr. S. L.
Trogdon was stolen Saturday evening
but was afterward found in R. P. Gor-rell's
lot on Walker avenue with a
broken handle bar and other damages.
The fellow that stole it was evidently
unable to manage it and threw it ove'
the first convenient fence. It might
be well for bicyclists to cbaio abulldog
to their machines when they want to
leave them standing out at night, oth-erwise
the thefts will continue.
— Mr. and Mrs. E. Kearns, of Lincoln,
Neb., who are spending the winter in
the Old North State, arrived in Greens-boro
last Wednesday to visit their rela-tives,
the family of Mr. C. H. Hancock.
Many years ago Mr. Kearns was a citi-zen
of Randolph and he is related to
theextensive family of that name there,
but he has not seen his kith and kin
for over a quarter of a century. Since
i coming here Mrs. Kearns has suffered a
severe attack of rheumatism but she is
improving slowly.
—The court room on the second tloor
of the Federal building is partitioned
off into offices to be occupied by U. S.
Marshal Milliken's office force, and the
semi-annual terms of Federal court
will hereafter be held in the county
court house until the government
building is enlarged. Evidently there
is some hope of securingenough money
from Uncle Sam to make the improve-ments
needed or else the present court
room would hardly be abandoned.
Congressman Kitchin has a bill in the
House similar to the one introduced in
the Senate last week by Mr. Butler and
carrying an appropriation of $50,000.
—Hats and caps at lewest prices.

The Veteran Corps Band.
The concert given by the Veteran
Corps Band in the Academy of Music,
last night was a great succe«s in every
particular. The concert simply defies
all description. No higher praise can
be paid them than to say that every one
who was present last evening would
gladly go again tonight, if the oppor-tunity
was afforded them. This asser-tion
can be truthfully made. The
audience will always feel grateful to
the Daughters of the Confederacy for
giving them an opportunity of hearing
this musical treat. Those who love
music and did not attend have some-thing
to regret the rest of their lives.
—The Raleigh Post, Dec. 16, 1897.
The concerts given by the Veteran
Corps Band, of Baltimore, at the Acad-emy
of Music yesterday afternoon and
evening, for the benefit of the Con-federate
Museum, were artistic and fin-ancial
successes. The Band, as a whole,
1 is one of the finest ever heard in this
city, aud the music-loving people who
failed to attend the concerts missed a
splendid treat.—The Richmond Times,

—The many Greensboro friends of
Mrs. Achsah Pleas Jones, the beloved
wife of Rev. Ja». R. Jones, formerly
pastor of Friends church here, were
pained to learn of her death at Guilford
College last Thursday night, even
though her health had been gradually
declining for some time. Hers was a
most beautiful Christian character and
those who knew feel the deepest be-reavement
overherdeath. Her funeral
occurred at Guilford on Saturday,Rev.
Alfred Peele and Mrs. Mary Woody
conducting the services. A tender
tribute to the memory of the deceased
from the pen of a neighbor and friend
will appear In our next issue.

—An examination of trees and
shrubbery in this city last week by
Mr. J. Van Lindley and Prof. T. L. _
Brown, of the State Pest Commission,
and Mr. Baxter, of the Pomona nur-series,
developed the presence of the
San Jose and oyster shell scales and
effective measures were taken for their
extermination. Property owners in
general take a sensible view of the
matter and act promptly on the sog-gestion
of the authorities whose duty
it is to see that these pests are not per-mitted
to multiply and destroy all sus-ceptible
fruit trees and shrubbery.
With reasonable precaution Greens-boro
will suffer but little from these
causes.

—The Eagle Dramatic Company
scored a great success last Thursday
evening in the production of Mrs.
Beatrice Mareau's new play, "Cherry."
The Academy of Music was well rilled
when the curtain arose on the first act
and the interest of the audience never
lagged until it went down at the close.
The caste was well adapted to the parts
assumed, and altogether the perform-ance
was one of the best ever given
here by amateurs. Miss Carrie Smith,
of Summerlield, sang two of her solos
with such charming effect that she
was encored each time. Claude Flam's
cornet solo also received an encore.
Owing to Prof. Brockmann's absence
from the city the Brockmann Orches-tra
was led by Mr. Geo. Woodroffe, but
the reputation of that excellent organ-ization
suffered no diminution by the
temporary change in leadership. Oae
of the happiest features of the evening
was the cake walk, in which Mr. Jno.
R. Stewart and Mrs. Dolly Hayden,
representing the two extremes in
avoirdupois, were awarded the first
prize, an immense cake. Mr. Phillips
and Miss Maude Ward the second
prize, a box of candv.and Messrs. Don-
Dell and Ingram the booby prize, a
pumpkin. The prizes were awarded
by Mr Z. V. Taylor. A handsome sum
was realized by the entertainment.
The concert given by this excellent
organization, under the auspices of
Petersburg Chapter Daughters of the
Confederacy, at the Academy, last
evening, proved one of the most enjoy-able
musical events of • lie season. The
delightful programme consisted chiefly
of popular selections and admirable
renditions by the soloist* of the band,
and fully merited the vigorous eucores
and applause which each number was
accorded.—The Daily Index and Ap-peal,

No Smallpox in Greensboro.
The following statement appearing
in Saturday's Charlotte Observer caus-ed
some little apprehension here until
it became known that the woman re-ferred
to was not in the city, and, so
tar as could be learned, bad not even
put in an appearance here :
"Estelle Carson, colored, who escaped
from the house in which William Jack-son,
the smallpox patient was,has been
traced as far as lireensboro. She was
in the house with Jackson Sunday and
Monday, just before his disease was
pronounced smallpox. She is a menace
to the city of (ireensboro, and every
effort should be made to discover her
whereabouts, so that she may he quar-antined.''
After a careful search the police ar-
; rived at the conclusion that the woman
1 was not here. No trace of her could
be found. If she came this way on a
train she must have passed on through
the city, otherwise she would have
been located ere this. Her presence in
the house in which Jackson, the pa-tient
referred to, was conllned would
not necessarily fasten the disease upon
her, because it had not at that time
reached the stage wherein contagion
was likely to result, but no chances
would have been taken by our authori-ties
had thev found her. She would
have been quarantined at once.
Jackson has since died and the other
patient at Charlotte is in k fair way to
recover. The Observer think- there is
little fear of the contagion's spread,
even in < harmite, so we have no cense
to be alarmed. In the event the dis-ease
should appear here the newspa-per*
will promptly make the faei
known.
