Big Breaks on Tobacco Market.
Things have been humming on the
Greensboro tobacco market during
the past week, the sales having
broken all records for the same
length of time. The biggest break
in the history of the market oc-curred
Saturday, it being a physical
impossibility to sell all the tobacco
that foun-* its way to the market
that day, the sale scheduled for
the Farmers' warehouse having to
go over until Monday.
There were heavy sales again
Monday, Tuesday and yesterday. It
is estimated that nearly or quitp
500.000 pounds have been sold on
the market during the past week at
an average price ot about 16 cents.
It is unnecessary to add that every-body
is pleased with the. prevailing
i high prices. , . .

yesterday morning at his home in
Cheraw, S. C. He was 77 years old
and is survived by his widow. Capt.
Hendrix moved from Guilford coun-ty
to Cheraw about 50 years ago and
for over 40 years had been employ-ed
as a -ailway conductor. He was
a man of a high type of character

sorrow to many hearts.

Desth cf Aged Woman.
Mrs. M. E. Vates. widow of the
late Charles G. Yates, died yester-day
morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. D. L. Ilagan. on
Church strict, where she had re-sided
for a number of years. She
had been in feeble health for a long
while and was seriously ill for ten
days prior to her death. She was
born in Greensboro November 1,
1828, and was a daughter of Rev.
Peter Doub. one of the most noted
Methodist preachers of his day.
She is survived by two sons and a
daughter—Mr. James F. Yates, of
Guilford College; Mr. Peter P.
Yates and Mrs. D. L. Hagan, of this
city. 11
The funeral will be held from the
home this morning at 11 o'clock and

Bankruptcy Sale at Kimesville.
Capt. j. \v. Fry. representing the
iireensboro Loan and Trust Com-pany,
receiver of the Mount Pleas-ant
Manufacturing Company, conduct-ed
a sale of the effects of the
bankrupt concern at Kimesville Mon-day.
The bids offered for the prop-erty
aggregated a sum between $9,-
000 and $10,000. A quantity of co'-
ton on hand was sold by the pound
and this will have to be weighed
before the exact amount will be
known. Mr. Will McAdOo, of this
city, purchased the mill and ma-chinery
for $7,000. The property
represents an investment many
times greater than the amount of-fered
for it at the sale, and it is
probable that the court will order
another sale.
Mr. John J. Daniels has resigned
his position as superintendent of the
burning department of the Pomona
Terra Cotta Company and will go

The property to be sold is that of
Rev. J. H. Peele and is situated on
the macadam road leading from the
station to the college- There is no
more delightful residence community
anywhere than Guilford College and
this sale will afford a good oppor- to Washington October 1 to take a

Farmers who are growing
buckwheat, alfalfa, or clo- ;
ver to any extent should ]

keeping. Honey has been
gradually going higher
and higher in price and a
few hives of bees, when
there is sufficient bloom
on the farm to supply
them with honey, will
add a snug little sum to
the year's income.
