The War is Over.
We held this issue of the PATRIOT
back one day hoping to give our read-ers
tbe text of the President's message,
which was expected to be sent to Con-gress
yesterday, but the message seems
to have gotten lost in the shuille, and
did not appear. The reason is rather
vaguely given in the press dispatches
from Washington, appearing on an-other
page. We have about reached
the conclusion that there will be no
war and will wash off our war paint as
soon as we get this issue out of the
way. That De Lome letter keeps com-ing
into mind. The *35,000,000already
spent in war preparations can now be
made up by the tax-payers and then
the incident will be dropped until the
next campaign.

Mr. S- B. Norris Goes to Greensboro.
The Raleigh Press-Visitor of Mon-day
said: Mr. S. B. Norris has pur-chased
the shoe store of Sample S.
Brown, of Greensboro, and will take
charge of the business at once and will
conduct one of the most extensive and
attractive shoe stores in the State in
that progressive town. Mr. Norris
will leave tonight for Greensboro to
take charge of the business, take an in-ventory
and prepare to open the new
date. Mr. Norris is one of Raleigh's
most successful and progressive busi-ness
men, and while we regret to lose
him we congratulate Greensboro upon
securing him as a part of her business
commuuity. He is a thoroughly live
and up-to-date hustler, and (Greens-boro
may depend upon it that his es-tablishment
will be conducted in the
best of style and will cohtain nothing
but the latest and best. Mr. Norris'
family will remain in Raleigh until he
makes arrangements for them to make
their home in Greensboro.
After years of untold suffering from
piles, B. W. Pursell. of Knitnersville,

—Christian Advocate : The congrega-tion
of West Market Street Methodist
Church, Greensboro, has been for some
time worshipping in the auditorium of
the new church, though in an undn-lshed
condition. The work is now
nearly compieced and the church is to
be formally opened on next Sunday. A
sermon at 11 o'clock will be preached
by Rev. E. E. Hoss, D.D., of Nashville,
Tenn., and an elaborate Sunday-schoo1
Easter service will be held. West
Market is, in our judgment, the most
elegant church edifice in North Caroli-na
and the congregation deserves the
highest commendation for its exceed-ing
liberality in erecting it. It is a
credit to the city and an honor to the
city and an honor to the denomination.
Rev. J. H. Weaver, D. D., the paston
has been untiring in his efforts to raise
money for building purposes and the

They Appreciate Their Pastor.
Rev. J. McL. Seabrook is pastor of
Bethel, Buffalo and Midway churches,
preaching at the two lirst named twice
a month in the morning and at Mid-way
twice a month in the evening and
on the tifth Sundays in the morning.
Last Thursday it was learned by some
of the Buffalo people that Midway had
been compelled to reduce her subscrip-tion
to tbe pastor's salary $L'J, which
was agreed to by Mr. Seabrook pro-vided
they would release him from the
fifth Sunday, which they agreed to do.
It was intimated to some ol the Buffalo
people that their pastor would like to
give these fifth Sundays to one or both
of the other churches, whereupon Buf-falo
went to work to raise the $25 lost
by Midway and get the fifth Sundays.
Last Sunday the pastor being absent
Rev. W. L. Grissom, of the M. E.
Church, South,filled the pulpit at Buf-falo,
preaching, we learned, one of his
splendid sermons to a large and appre-ciative
congregation, alter which a
a congregational meeting was held and
.after the matter was laid befor; the
congregation it was decided to try and
raise the $26. A subscription was
taken up and the rcsu't was over $31
was promptly subscribed. This speaks
well for pastor and people.
Mr. W. B. farrar's Death.
Mr. William B. Farrar, one of the
best known citizens of thle city, died
Monday afternoon about six o'clock
after a lingering illness. His death
was a source of sorrowful surprise to
our people, because it was not general-ly
known at the time that his condi-tion
was critical. He was born in
Chatham county February 11th, 1836,
and was married in WJ4 to Miss Mattie
Watson, daughter of the late Dr. David
Watson. The devoted wife and two
children—Mrs. G. H. Royster and Mr.
M. R. Farrar—survive. In 1868 Mr.
Farrar located in Greensboro.engaging
in the jewelry business, in which he
was quite successful. In addition to
his mechanical skill he had an inven-tive
turn of mind, ami in recent years
produced several useful and ingenious
appliances that brought him handsome
returns. He was a man of decided
opinions on all questions and was. un-usually
well informed on current topic-.
Some time ago he embraced the Chris-tian
religion, snd he died with a full-ness
of faiththat striking. IDs funeral
took place yesterday afternoon from
the West Market Street M. E. church,
the pastor. Rev. Dr. Weaver, conduct-ing
the-ervice. Interment was made
at Greene Hill cemetery. Mr. Farrart
death removes from among our people
a man well worthy tbe general esteem
in which he was held. His bereaved
family has the sy.np.ithv of everyone
in their great loss.
