be rendered from Proximity, which is

increasing wholesale business.

so many years past.
The Passing of a «»od Man.
His many friends in Greensboro, as
well as throughout the stats, were
shocked by the news of the sudden
death of Dr. J. M. Spalnhour, which
occurred at his home in Lenoir early
last Thursday morning. Only a few
weeks ago he was in Greensboro, and
those who then clasped his hand and
looked into his beaming, kindly faoe
little dreamed that his span of life was
almost run. Dr. Spalnhour was a gen-tleman
in the truest sense; a man
whom to know was to love and esteem.
Courteous, dignified and gracious in
manner, he attracted those with whom
he came in contact and held their
friendship to the last. To know him
was a pleasure and to be counted his
friend was a privilege.
Dr. Spainhour had long been aleader
in his section and prominent in all the
affairs that touched bis community.
When the State Normal and Industrial
College was established in Greensboro
he was elected secretary of the bsard
of directors, holding this position until
his death. He was devoted to the in-terests
of the institution and perform-ed
the duties of his offloe with faith-fulness
and punctuality. During the
nine or ten years of his service be
never missed a single meeting of the
board of directors.
The faculty and student body of the
State Normal and Industrial College
adopted suitable resolutions concern-ing
the death of Dr. Spainhour. Prof.
J. Y. Joyner represented the institu-tion
at the funeral.

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on onr market have
again been light, owing to the contin-ued
dry weather, but the few farmers
who have taken the trouble to get
their tobacco in order and oome to
town have been more than well paid.
The offerings for the past week have
shown very few wrappers, but a large
proportion of good manufacturing
stock has been sold. The prices are
the highest we have ever seen on* this
market, and we are well sustained in
this statement by farmers who visit
our sales daily and express themselves
as having seen the sales here for many
years past, but never saw tabacco as
high here before. This is caused by
the increased orders which have been
placed here and the additional buyers
we have.
A Horse With an Appetite.
Human beings with an appetite for
strong driuk are altogether too fre-quent,
but a bibulously inclined horse
is out of the ordinary. Such an ani-mal,
howevei, is owned by the Eagle
Hose Company, of this city. His name
is Prince and he is one of the finest
pieces of horseflesh in town. A largo,
.-ui'ioih-iiiubed iron gray, he is the pet
<>f every member of the company and
all who come around fire headquarters.
F^-".aently there are long and hard
runs to fires, and in such cases it is
important that good care be taken of
the faithful horses that pull the fire
apparatus. Owing to the love of the
firtmen for him, Prince is the recipient
of especially good treatment. On the
return from a fire he is robbed down
carefully and allowed to cool off, after
which he is given a half pint of whiskey.
It is no common liquor either, but the
best grade of rye that is to be had.
Prince takes the bottle in his mouth
and empties it with the ease of a vete-ran.
He knows when to expect the
whiskey and will not rest satisfied
after returning from a fire until given
his dram.
It is said that Prince consumes more
whiskey than all the memberi, of the
Eagle Hose Company, but then the lire
laddies are not hard drinkers.
—Judge Shaw is this week presiding
over Granville Superior court at Ox-ford.
The most important case to
come before him is the celebrated
Gattis-Kilgo libel suit, wherein Rev.
T. J. Gattis. a Methodist minister, sues
President Kilgo, of Trinity College,
and Messrs W. R. Odell and B. N.
Duke, of the board of trustees of the
John Carter, of Rookingham, sold
here a few days ago and was highly
pleased.
J. A. Armfield, of this county, has
been here twice during the past week,
which speaks for itself as to whether
or not he was pleased with prices.
Wilson & Boone, of Alamance, sold
here one day during the past week and
averaged $20 50 clear check for their
tobacco. Pretty good, Mr. Boone; call
again.
Mr. J. R. Lowe, of Rockingham, was
here with tobacco yesterday for the
first time in two years and was well
pleased. He will be back and bring
his neighbors with him.
Evans, Mitchell & Younger sold
1.3S4 pounds for $199.01, making an av-erage
of $14 37 per hundred, and there
I was not a wrapper in it. They got $40
, more for their load than they expected.
Mr. L. A. Walker, of this county,
sold here during the past week and was
well pleased. He is a brother of our
Mr. J. M. Walker, who is president of
the City National Bank, of this place.
The following are a few of the good
farmers from Alamance who sold to-bacco
on this market during the past
week and were highly pleased : D. R.
Huffines. J. A. Alien, W. T. Barham,
Loy & Watson and John Fonville.
Jeffreys Brothers,of Alamance, were
here last week and were delighted
with their sales. They have been reg-ular
patrons of this market this season
and say that they have been well paid
for their loyalty to the Greensboro
market.
J. M. and A. R. Perry, of southern
Alamance, were here one day during
the past week. They haul their to-baoco
forty miles and say that it pays
them well to do so, as they can get
more for it in Greensboro than they
can anywhere else.
The following are a few of the prom-
^ inent farmers of this county who sold
here during the past week and were
highly pleased: Morehead and John-son,
O. A. G. Wood, J. L.Cobb, Hower-ton
& Mitchell, S. W. Cobb, Peter Ise-ley,
F. F. Scoggios, M. D. Taylor and
Story & Walker.

A Startling Surprise.
Very few could believe in looking at
A. T. Hoadley, a healthy, robust black-smith
of Tilden, Ind , that for ten years
he suffered such tortures from Rheu-matism
as few could endure and live.
But a wopderfull change followed his
taking Electric Bitters. "Two bottles
wholly cured me," he writes, "and I
have not felt a twinge in over a year."

STANDS THE TEST.
We have had several farmers to tell
us recently that they have divided
curings of tobacco, stick by stick, and
sold half of the curing here and half
of it on some other market without
saying anything about it till it was all
sold. In almost every instance the
difference in price in favor of Greens-boro
was from twenty-five cents to $5

per hundred pounds. This is not be-cause
this is the largest market in this
section, but it is because we have the
most orders for the size of the market
and must have the tobacco to fill them.
We have drawn trade from a greater
distance this season than ever before,
whioh is wholly due to the active and
strong demand for tbe weed in this
market. Farmers say that it is paying
them $1 to $2 per hundred pounds to
come 40 miles to this market, and those
living near cannot stay away.
