MARKET REPORT.
Our sales for the past week have been
very good, and have kept our buyers
busy about all the while handling their
purchases. The weather has moderated
some and our sales were very good
yesterday and today. "
The quality of the offerings has been
very much improved and show the
largest proportion of good to floe
wrappers of any preceding week of
this season, which hav9 sold at very
satisfactory prices, lots of them selling
from $30 to $47 per hundred; not a few
piles brought $45. We have also had a
good proportion of good to fine tillers,
and prices on all grades have kept fully
up to the highest of the season, with a
very active market on all grades.
Farmers have been highly pleased
with their prices and did not hesitate
to so express themselves. We guaran-tee
satisfaction. Come to this market
with a load of tobacco.
Mr. C. A. Bray was at Danville yes-terday
afternoon.
\fr. J. W. Ellis, one of Greensboro's
good friends in Randolph, was here
with tobacco a few days ago.
Mr. E. G. Moseley, of the firm of E.

Legialatiye Committee Here.
The committee from the legislature
to inspect the State Normal and In-dustrial
College and the Agricultural
and Mechanical College for the colored
race arrived in Greensboro Monday
evening. Yesterday was spent in vis-iting
and Inspecting the two institu-tions.
The member? of the committee
were most tavorably impressed with
what they saw.
Monday night a publio entertain-ment
was given at the Normal compli-mentary
to the visitors. It consisted
of a play entitled ''Past and Future,"
being a history and prophecy of educa-tion
in North Carolina. The various
educational Institutions of the state
were represented by a tableaux. The
entertainment was one ef the most
unique and pleasant ever given at the
institution.
At the conclusion of the entertain-ment
speeches were made by Senators
Aycock, Wood, Webb, Representative
Whitaker, of this county, and others.
All the speeches were of a high order
and breated a spirit of deep devotion
to education. The speakers expressed
themselves unequivocally as favoring
more taxes for the schools, saying this
was the only way North Carolina's
public sohool system could ever be
made what it should be.
