—The tire department was summon-ed
to the residence of Mrs. A. L.
Wright, on North Elm street, Thurs-day
evening about half past eight
o'clock, but the threatened clanger,
arising from an unruly lamp, was luck-ily
averted before any damage was
done.
—Rev. Peeler, one of the oldest min-isters
in the W. X. C. M. E. Conference,
died at his home in Kernersville yester-day.
He had been on the superannuated
list for some years, but prior thereto he
was known as one of the most vigorous
and zealous men in his branch of the
ministry.
—Rev. A. R. Shaw, of Henderson, a
brother of our townsman, T. J. Shaw,
Esq , is here this week assisting Dr. E.
W. Smith in a series of meetings at the
First Presbyterian church. He has
already preached a number of forcible

the meetings is reported.
—Mr. John Griffin and family, of
Woodland, were here Friday on their
way to Guilford College, where they
will make their home in the future, or
at least until their children are grown
and educated. They are welcomed
amid surroundings that will be found
congenial and altogether desirable.
R. o. Vaughn, employed at the
electric light plant, amused himself
yesterday bv demolishing his furniture
and threatening the life of his wife
while in a drunken frenzy. He plead
guilty before Mayor Nelson and was
let off with a tine. A road sentence
would have been in keeping with the
crime.
—Mrs. Bettie Barnes and children,
of Woodland, moved to this city last
week, leasing one of Mr. G. W. Alley's
houses on I.ithiastreet. Northampton
as well as other "down east" counties
has recently contributed many excel-lent
families to our city's increasing
population, the educational advantages
here being the chief attraction.

—There seems to be an aggressive
movement upon the part of the disciples
of John Smith to convert North Caro-lina
to Mormonism, various counties,
some of them nearby, reporting the
presence of increased numbers of "'mis-sionaries,"
but so far Guilford seems to
have been overlooked. This brief re-ference
to them is not intended as an
invitation.
—Miss Lily Dick, whose critical ill- I
ness was mentioned in our last issue.,
died at the home of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Dick, east of McLeans-ville,
last Wednesday night. Her re-'
mains were interred at Bethel church,
Rev. J. McL. Seabrooke conducting an
appropriate and beautiful service. An
obituary written by a friend will appear
in our next issue.
—The Greensboro Dramatic Club
scored another flattering success last
Thursday night in the presentation of
that bright little play, "A Scrap of
Paper." The Academy wa9 tilled by a
delighted audience and it was difficult
for many to realize that amateurs and
not professional threatrical people oc-cupied
the stage. Brockmann's orches-tra
furnished music.
—Mr. and Mrs. Geo. K. Briggs re-turned
Thursday from an enjoyable
visit with their daughter, Mrs. Geo. E.
Lemons, at New Boston, Texas. While
on their way home they barely escaped
contact with the terrible tornado that
swept over western Arkansas Tuesday
night, f&. K. is very enthusiastic over
the trip, chiefly on account of the op-portunity
it afforded him of compan-ionship
with his little grand-daughter.
—"In the bright lexicon of youth
there is no such word as fail."—Richa-lieu.
In the bright lexicon of the En-cyclopedic
Dictionary there Is such a
word as FAiL-one of the 250,000jwords
it contains. Note the difference:
Webster's International Dictionary,
one volume,contains but 140,000 words;
Worcester's Dictionary and Supple-ment,
one volume, contains but 116,000
words; the Century Dictionary con-tains
but 226,000 words. See adver-tisement.
—J. P. Harkness, formerly agent of
the Armour Packing Co. here, but
I more recently a resident of Charlotte
and Greenville, S. C, has brought re-proach
upon his name bypassing forg-ed
checks at the latter place and be-coming
a fugitive from justice. His
crookedness dates back, it seems, to the
time when he represented the Ar-mours.
His wife, a member of a most
excellent family, has returned to this
city with her daughter. Much sym-pathy
is expressed for the latter.
—Edward Martin, a young colored
man from over about Monroeton, Rock-ingham
county, and not familiar with
the "dark ways and vain tricks" of the
sleek "city niggers" who toil not,neither
do they spin, was inveigled into a card
game yesterday morning at the depot
while waiting for a train to Benaja and
before he knew it he was "out" $1.50—
all the money he had. His woes were
confided to the police and they amy be
able to locate the gamblers, provided
they are not already browsing in dis-tant
pastures.
—The public despises sham and cant,
and for that reason it takes kindly to a
newspaperthat renounces and denoun-ces
every form of hypocrisy. Such a
journal is The Washington Post. The
Post has a most delicous manner of dis-posing
of papier mache statesmanship.
One of its keen thrusts is all that Is
necesary to make an incision that ex-poses
the hypocrisy of a man or a move-ment,
and, though the wound may be
neither wide nor deep, it is, likeMercu-tio's.
sufficient. Would that there were
more newspapers like The Washington
Post.
— Kentucky must look to the laurels
crowning her pretty women and fast
horses. North Carolina in general and
Greensboro in particular have aspira-tions
aloug those lines that threaten
the Blue Grassstate's title to first hon- 1
ors. And why shouldn't we, with the
northern magazine publishers clamor-ing
for photographs of our local beau-ties
to enhance the attractiveness of
their publications and people from the j
northeast corner of Yankeedom buy- j
ing our horses and shipping them
home? If the best of everything isn't
produced in the Old North State we
are at a loss to know where to look
for It.
—Mr. Stockton, of the Odell Hard-ware
Co., and Mr. Frazier, living west
of the city, have returned from Balti-more,
where tbey took the Pasteur
treatment for hydrophobia. Neither i
of them suffered any ill eftects from !
their encounter with a mad dog, but I
they are not anxious to repeat their I
experence, notwithstanding the fact
that they are supposed to be hydro-|
phobia-proof the balance of their lives.
Tom Wharton, one of the colored men
bitten by the same dog that attacked
the above-mentioned gentlemen, went
over into Alamance county and ap- ;
plied a madstone to his wounds, the
stone adhering over twenty times, and
to all appearances he is as well as any-body.
—The news-gatherers of the various
city papers would appreciate a condl-tion
of affairs that permitted them to
gather the facts concerning all fires
whfeb occur here as easily as the one
whleh occurred in the lot at the rear
of Richardson & Fariss' drug store I
Monday about noon. Our readers will
agree with us that this fire was care-fully
planned; and that no more prop-erty
was destroyed can only be attrib- 1
uted to the fact that there was no more
on band. The fire department was not |
called out for the reason its services
were not needed. From conven-ient
positions on the back steps to
the store the scribes saw the torch ap-plied
and watched the flames as they
leaped skyward in their fury. When
nothing remained but a pile of smoul-dering
ruins the three truthful report-ers
returned to the store and signed a
statement to the effect that Richard-son
& Fariss had burned all their last
year's seeds. And they had.
JUDGE DICKS RESIGNATION.
He Prepares it in Anticipation of a
Long Illness as a Result of a
Surgical Operation.
Judge Robert P. Dick, of the United
States District Court of North Caro-lina,
upon whom an operation was per-formed
Saturday at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, was resting easily yesterday,
and no immediate serious results are
anticipated. Judge Dick is seventy-four
years of age, and this made the
operation more serious than it would
otherwise have been. No one is allow-ed
to see him.
Before submitting to the knife of the
surgeon Judge Dick wrote out his re-signation
from the federal bench and
placed it in the hands of his family.
This was done in order that it might
be forwarded to the President in case
a long and disabling illness followed.
The resignation has not yet been for-warded.
Judge Robert M. Douglas, of
the Supreme Court of North Carolina,
who is a son-in-law ef Judge Diok.said
yesterday that he thought the latter
would not care to resume his duties,
even it he fully recovered from his ill-ness.
Judge Douglas, who married adaugh-ter
of Judge Dick, is a son of the late
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. He
first met Judge Dick at the Democratic
national convention of 1*00, which as-sembled
in Baltimore and nominated
Stephen A. Douglas for President.
Judge Dick was a delegate from North
Carolina and was the only one from
that State who refused to secede. The
others joined the convention which
nominated Breckinridge.—Baltimore
Sun, 17th.
—A happy event to which much in-terest
was attached occurred last Wed-
■teeday evening at the residence of
Mrs. Robt.J. Lindsay, on West Syca-;
more street, the occasion being the
marriage of her grand-daughter, Miss
Sadie J. Sloan, of Winston, to Mr.
Peter D. Watt, of Reidsville. The
house was tastefully decorated in honor
of the event and a goodly number of
guests, ineluding the relatives and
close friends of the contracting par-ties,
witnessed the ceremony, which
was performed by R»v. D. I. Craig, of
Reidsville. The bride was attended by
her sister, Miss Annie Sloan, maid of
honor, Miss Lottie Peyton and Miss
Birdie Follln. The groom's attend-ants
were his brother, Mr. John Watt,
Mr. C. A. Penn and Mr. F. Womack.
The happy cou pie left on the ten o'clock
train for Reidsville, their future home,
followed by a deluge of congratula-tions
from friends both in and out of
the city. A number of handsome wed-ding
presents were bestowed upon
them.

"Wang"—50 People—Coining.
The comic opera "Wang," which for
the last five seasons has gained golden
opinions every where.comes on next Sat-urdayweek
Jan.2i»th,tothe Academy of
Music forone and the only performance
here. The theater going public is al-ways
in search of novelties, but in this
day of so many stage novelties which
disappoint, the coming of an old and
tried Mend like "Wang" is indeed a
welcome anticipation. Novelty will to
a certain extent, enter into next week's
production of the merry opera, for there
will be many new and pretty face.-»
many new, fresh and youthful voices,
new scenery and costumes more costly
than were lavished upon it in the days
when in was an experiment. These
new features will, however, be but the
settings for the same merry opera.
Those who have seen it before will all
the more anxiously desire to see "The
Man with an Elephant on His Hands,"'
'A pretty Girl, a Summer Night," "You
Must Ask of the Man in the Moon,"
and all the other catchy songs that have
become so popular, but thank fortune
have not yet become part of the reper-toire
of the hand-organ. The opera's
mirth-provoking story, with its com-plications
involving an Oriental prince
regent and a Kuropeani/.ed heir to the
throne, French widows and maidens,
Parisian dancing girls, Cambodian and
Burmese envoys, has never laid claim
to depth, but it has given many a per-son
as delightful an evening as he could
ask for. Mr. Dan Packard is still play-ing
in the part of "Wang," the Regent
of Siam, and it is unnecessary to com-ment
upon hisconceptiooof that famous
part. This is the first Opera here for
more than ten years.
Judge Dick's Resignation Filed.
A special from Washington appear-ing
in yesterday's Charlotte Observer
says :
"This morning Senator Pritchard
handed the resignation of Judge Dick
to the President. It is thought that
Congressman Pearson has a candidate
for the place. The prominent candidates
already in the field are Virgil 3. I.usk,
H. G. Ewart, Charles Price. R. M.
Douglas and G. H. Smathers.
"Senator Pritchard and Assistant
District Attorney Boyd are also men-tioned
for the vacancy just created. It
is impossible, however, for Senator
Pritchard to abandon his seat in the
Senate to accept the judgeship. The
confusion into which the mal-adminis-tration
of the affaire in the State have
been thrown by Governor Russell and
his inexperiemed henchmen make it
I impossible for Senator Pritchard to
I loose his hand on the helm he now
1 holds. Assistant District Attorney
Boyd might prefer to remain where he
is.
"Senator Pritchard informed the
President today that he was not to be
considered as a candidate for the west-ern
district judgeship. He suggested
the appointment of Assistant Attorney
General Boyd, but the President has
Mr. Ewart in mind for the place. He
so informed Senator Pritchard, and
there the matter rests for the pre-ent."
—A u«W> matched a purse from the
hand of/Normal student out on Wal-ker
aveftue Saturday afternoon and
succeeded in making away with it
despite the fact that he was closely
pursued for a time. < >fflcer Scott went
I to Salisbury Sunday to take a look at a
1 man who was held there on suspicion,
1 but he was not the party wanted.
Judge Douglas has been at work for
some time among his friends securing
endorsements for the judgeship, but
with the express understanding that in
the event Piitohard was a candidate he
would not be in his way. From the
present indicationsit is clear that Judge
Douglas really stands the best chance
of securing the appointment. With
Judge Dick's resignation in his pocket
before they left for Baltimore he had a
decided advantage over his competitors,
because the latter have hitherto had no
definite knowledge as to Judge Dick s
intentions. As a matter of local pnd-we
hope to see the ermine descend upon
a Greensboro man.
