Hamilton Vernon Stewart: Born Decem-ber
14, 1879—Died August 14, 1904.
Hamilton Vernon Stewart, the bright
and promising sou of Mr. aud Mrs. J.
M. Stewart, who scarcely a year ago
embarked iu a uoble profession aud for
whom the future held exceptional
prospects, died at the home of his
parents ou East Gastou street last Sun-day
afternoon at 3 o'clock after au ill-ness
that covered a period of about six
weeks. Mr. Stewart came home from I
Atlanta the 23rd of last month sutler- i
ing from catarrhal fever, which had
attacked him in a mild form three
weeks previous, and seemed to im-prove
here under the loving attention '
of his family, but ou Saturday last he
had a sinking spell that caused special '
alarm. He rallied, however, that even-log
aud appeared to be doing nicely :
until the following day, when he had
another sinking spell from which he
never recovered. Widely known and
highly esteemed, the death of this ex-cellent
young man caused much sor- 1
row. By exceptional industry he had
employed his talents to the best advan-tage
and was fast making a reputation
in his profession. His friends ami
acquaintances here had watched bis
course from the graded schools up with
no little pride and pleasure. Following
his completion of the literary course at
Whitsett Institute in 1900 he entered
the State University at Chapel Hill,
completing the law course there in
three years. A year ago he obtained
license to practice law, locating in Gas-tonia.
In February of this year he re-ceived
a llattering oiler from the old
law linn of Brown & Brown at Atlanta,
(ja., which he accepted, and has since
been located there. He stood high in
the esteem of his new Atlanta friends
and was getting along exceptionally
well there when his health failed. Re-luctant
to give up his work he perhaps
waited loo long before coming home to
rest and recuperate, and it is possible
he sacrificed his life to his ambition.
His bereaved parents aud sister have j
the sympathy of everyone iu their sore |
ai licliou. Funeral services were held
at the family residence Monday after-noon
at •) o'clock, conducted by Rev,
Ira Krwin, pastor of Centenary church,
where the family holds membership.
Rev. Dr. Turrentine and Rev. Dr.
Crawford assisted in the services, after
which interment was made in (ireene
Hill cemetery. The pall bearer* were
Messrs. Thos. S. Head, Charles Van-story,
A. W. Cooke, C. W. Sapp,
Michael Schenck. Karl Harllee, Harry
Donned and Ernest Clapp. A profu-sion
of beautiful floral emblems covered
the newly made grave.
Yesterday's Primaries.
At the time of going to press this
morning the returns from the prima-ries
indicate that practically all the
old ticket was renomiiiated, with the
possible exception of Treasurer McKiu-ney.
"Uncle Abe" received the biggest
majority of any candidate. Jordan has
a safe majority. Scales for the senate ■
received a unanimous vote in most j
every precinct where a vote was taken
ou the legislative ticket. For the lower
house Robinson, Gordon, Kennett and
Fox have the strongest support, but it
is not yet known who leads. Coroner
Turner and Surveyor Gilchrist had no
opposition. Nearly if not all the old
board of commissioners is renomiiiated,
but the returns indicate that Al Kankiu
aud John A. Young got a heavy vote.
Mr. Tucker got the best vote in the
bunch. There is yet enough to be done
to assure an interesting county conven-tion
Saturday.

evening after a lingering illness
with fever and was buried at Hines'

withstood the ravages of an at-tack

suffered a relapse, which caused her
death in a few days. She was a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Kudd,
of lienaja, and had lived in Greensboro
less than two years. Before moving
here she and her husband made their
home for a time in northwestern Guil-ford.

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts ou our market for the
past week have not been very large,
yet there was a nice little sale almost
every day, composed mostly of new
primings. The prices ou these tobaccos
are running very nicely and are very
satisfactory to farmers. They are bring-ing
from $2.40 to $8.00 per hundred
pounds, aud our buyers seem to be
very anxious for these tobaccos. We
thiuk the prices will pay farmers very
handsomely to save them, and we
hope you will save as many of them as
you cau aud let us have them in
Greensboro, as we are very anxious for
primings on this market.
Old tobacco is selling about as it has
been for several weeks aud there is a
little showing up on the market most'
every day, but a great deal of it is
more or less damaged and goes oil at
damaged prices. All sound old tobacco
is m active demand aud bringing good
prices.
Sam Johnson, a good Guilford county
farmer, was here with two loads of |
primings during the past week and
was highly pleased with pries on both of
them. Mr. Johnson realizes the good ,
of saving all the primings he can.
D. C. Thomas, of Rockinghom, was
here with primings during the past
week and got just twice as much for
his load as he was expecting, it is
useless to say that Mr. Thomas went
back home pleased, and will save all
the primings he can from now on.
Iu saving primings be sure to cure
them out thoroughly and get them iu
good keeping order, shaking oil the
dirt and pulling oil the strings. Keep
them straight; we do not care whether j
they are picked and tied up or not. I
You can use your pleasure about this,
as we do not thiuk it amounts to very .
much either way.
