Captain Forsyth Departs.
Capt. W. VV. Forsyth, who has had
charge of the recruiting stations at
Greensboro, Charlotte and Asheville
for the past two years, was transferred
the first of the month to Fort Keogh,
Mont., where he will resume regular
duty in a few days. He is succeeded

and during the day disposed of over
fifty dollars' worth to H. S. Hudson,
receiving the money for same in the
presence of several colored people who
frequent the cheap reslaurauts just
across the railroad on South Kim. That
night when Berry was putting up the
Forsyth's service iu North Carolina he
enlisted between 400 aud 500 men, who
have entered different branches of the
army, somegoing to the hospital corps,
others to the cavalry, artillery or in-fantry.
"And the men.from this pied-mont

An immense crowd saw Baruum &
Bailey's circus here Thursday, the at-tendance
at the afternoon performance
being fully twelve thousand. The
show trains arrived late from Charlotte
only to find that the McAdoO meadow,
near the old C. F. A V. V. depot was
so solt that the wagons could not be
hauled over it, but after an hour's de-lay
the WbittingtoD lot, on Ashe
street, was secured and the tents were
put up there. So great was the con-fusion
caused by the combination of
untoward circuhistanees that no pa-rade
could be given, causing disap-pointment
to the multitude that had
assembled on the streets, but most of
the crowd made the best of it and went
to the show. All in all it was the best
show that has visited Greensboro iu
many years, the menagerie as well as
the circus performance measuring up
to the standard advertised. A per-formance
was given at night, but it
was cut to some extent so that the
show could get away early.

and every other requisite the new com-pany

points in the county. An engineer
will soon be at work establishing grades

the outlook is ipiite promising
for a realization of one of old Guilford's
fondest hopes—a system of modern
highways penetrating every section of
the county.
The Cotton Boll-Worm.
Mr. Franklin Sherman, Jr., the state

The pest discussed is not the
boll-weevil of Texas, which Mr. Sher-man
says has uot yet appeared In
North Carolina in its true form. The
circular gives a complete description of
the boll-worm, its habits, etc., and dis-cusses

Best Sale of the Season.
Mr. VV. D. Palmer, of Level Cross,
sold on the Greensboro market Friday
a single load of tobacco for $167. It
averaged a fraction under 17 cents per
pound. Some of it sold as high as 35
cents per pound, while a good deal of
it brought such prices as 29, 20, 18 and
161 cents. The tobacco was sold at the
Planters warehouse. We think the
condition of the market is more favor-able
than it was a short time ago, and
would not advise the further holding
of leaf, especially Die common grades,
