—A petition for a change In the
public road leading from tne city to
the county home is being circulated.
* ' It is proposed by the petitioners to
open a road from Summit avenue, at
the intersection of Bessemer avenue,
to the home, thereby securing the ad-vantages
of a mile nf macadamized
road and escaping the dangers of
travel along the railroad. The new
route is 460 feet longer than the old,
but the easy grades and macadam
would more than compensate for the
increased distance between the points
named. We are told that there is
very little objeetion to the proposed
change, and we hope that none will
develop.
County Affairs.
The county commissioners held their
January meeting Monday. Beyond
the selection of jurors for the regular
February term of court, but little busi-ness
of importance was transacted.
The list of jurors will be published
next week.
Several public road matters which
had been before the commissioners
went over until the next meeting for
action.
A delegation of citizens appeared
before the board and asked that the
convict force now in the eastern part
of the county be allowed to work the
public road leading from Mt. Pleasant
in the direction of Brick Church,
known as the old Fayetteville road,
before leaving that section. The com-missioners
have taken the matter un-der
advisement and will inspect the
road, which is in need of attention.
Inasmuch as the present camp of the
convict force is located within a mile
and a half of the road, it is urged that
it would be economy for the county to
have this work done before the camp is
moved to another section.
The commissioners elected Mr. L. M.
Stewart, of Guilford College, standard
keeper for the county. He gave bond
and was sworn in.

Happy Social Event in Eastern
Guilford.
The hospitable home of Mr. and
Mrs. D. C. Stewart, about ten miles
southeast of Greensboro, was the
scene, Monday night, of a happy
gathering of• congenial young folks.
Everybody was cordially welcomed,
and it is fair to presume that the
guests, nearly a hundred in number,
never enjoyed a similar occasion more.
In addition to the young people of
that section, quite a number were
present from Greensboro, Burlington,
Graham and other places.
Those who cared for the pastime en-joyed
themselves in dancing, present-ing
a pretty scene in going through
the various figures with grace and
ease. (Tbe awkward movements of
one or two young men from Greens-boro
are described differently.)
When the guests reluctantly depart-ed
they left with pleasant impressions
of a mo >t happy event in the social B*
of eastern Guilford, and It is needless
to say that each one will gladly wel-come

MARKET REPORT.
The sales opened up lively after the
holidays and tbe warehouses have bad
good-sized breaks since. Tbe buyers
have seemed very anxious for the weed.
Prices on all grades are fully as high,
If not a shade higher, than before
Christmas. Tbe quality of the-offer-ings
remains about thesame. Judging
from the prices paid and the general
activity of the market, we think it Is a
good time to sell a load of tobacco in
Greensboro.
Mr. J. W. Ellis, of Liberty, a strong
friend of the Greensboro market, was
here yesterday with a load of tobacco.
The larmers who have tobacco on
hand are, as a rule, anxious to sell, and
are doing so as fast as possible. The
first good season is expected to result
in heavy breaks en tbe Greensboro
market.
While the warehouses in Greensboro
are having fairly good breaks, sales are
not as heavy as they would be If the
weather was more favorable for band-ling
tobacco and getting it in shape
for market.
A warehouseman remarked yester-day
that be bad never seen mure satis-factory
sales that those made in
Greensboro since the holidays. So far
as known, every patron of the market,
without a single exception, has gone
home well pleased with sales made.
Mr. J. Mack Smith, who is widely
know as tbe cbampion auctioneer of
Danville, is again with tbe Farmers
warehouse. While here a few years
ago he made a great many friends who
are delighted to see him back. He has
the faculty of staying by a pile of to-bacco
until the last possible cent has
been bid, and this partially accounts
for his success as an auctioneer.
Bray Brothers are distributing
among their customers some of the
prettiest calendars ever Issued by any
concern in this section. Tbe design is
very pretty indeed and the calendar is
tit to adorn any office or home. Profit-ing
by experience in issuing handsome
calendars in the past, 'he firm cannot
supply calendars upon request unless
the sum of 25 cents is enoloeed to de-fray
tbe expense of postage and pack-ing.
A large number of Guilford county
farmers have profited by selling their
tobacco on the Greensboro market dur-ing
the past week. Among those we
noted 8. L. Phillips, W. W. Smith, L.
D. Aydlette, P. M. Michael, Henry

considerably in excess of the liabilities.

closing their advertisement by ex-pressing
the hope that their friends
will all live to a ripe old age.
