Our reputation is more to us than the prjee of a pair of shoes. That is the reason we take the greatest care to sell only shoes that will give satis-faction to the wearer, and for the same reason we always want you to return any pair of shoes that you buy from our store which are not what we rep-resented them to be. We have custo-mers and whole families who buy their shoes from us year after year, who will tell you that we sell reliable shoes and that we are always ready and willing to make It right if the shoes do not give satisfaction. THACKER & BROCKMANN. "The Bnrned Corner" to be Rebuilt. We are pleased to learn that the va-cant Benbow lots on South Elm street between Johnson & Dorsett'a store and the Hotel Ouilfordare soon to be occu-pied by a handsome block with a frontage of sixty-five feet on South Elm and one hundred and fifty feet on Sycamore streets, containing one hun-dred rooms above the three which will embrace the first floor. As to the plans or materials we are not posted, bat knowing that the Hotel Guilford, which was built under the same man-agement thirty years ago has few equals in stability or architectural de-sign, we feel certain that the city will be ornamented by the erection of this new block, which will be constructed so as to be equally well adapted for a hotel or an office building. Excavations for the foundation are being made. —The North Carolina Society ok the Cincinnati held its annual mseting here last Wednesday. Mr. Goo. A. Mebane, of this city, one of the mem-bers of the society, entertained the delegates at the Hotel Guilford. A reception was also tendered them by the Merchants and Manufacturers As-sociation. The members of this society are direct descendents of officers In the Revolution. The officers are Mr. Wil-son G. Lamb, president; Maj. Graham Daves, vice president; Col. Chas. L. Davis, secretary; Mr. John C.Davos, treasurer; Mr. Marshall DeLancey Hay wood, assistant secretary; Mr. Walter DeLyle Carstarphen, assistant treasurer, and Rev. Joseph B. Ches-hire, chaplain. At a meeting at the Battle Ground Wednesday new mem-bers were elected. Thoy were A. R. Ballard, of Mississippi; W. D. Grant, of Atlanta, Ga.; Arthur P. Rhodes, of San Francisco, Ca!.. and William B. Slade. of Columbus, Miss. Death Follows a Battle Ground Affray. Mr. A. S. Morris, of Froximity, was shot at the BattleGround last Wednes-day by a negro, Will Ingram, and died Thursday night. Mr. Morris and the negro bad quarreled about a debt due Morris and when the negro was knock-ed down he arose and shot Mr. Morris. The wound was not considered neces-sarily fatal, but when inllammatlon set in he sank rapidly. Mr. Morris was thirty-nine years old, a carpenter and a man of good charac-ter. He was a member of Keystone Council No. 81, Jr. O. U. A. M. He leaves a wife and three children. The funeral took place at Buffalo Pres-byterian church Friday afternoon, be-ing conducted by Rev. Horace Weeks Jones. Nothing has been heard of the negro who did the shooting. He es-caped from a large crowd of pursuers and is probably making his way to his former home in Georgia. Items of Interest to the Srower, the Dealer, and the Manufacturer. Mr. A. B. Bray is here from States-ville to take a few weeks' rest. Sales have been light the past week with no visible change in prices. The growing crop is generally spoken of as quite promising. Rain is needed, however, in most places. Mr. "Shell-W. Porter has returned to Timmonsville, S. C, where he is en-gaged in the tobacco business. Mr. Jas. J. Meadows, a well known Madison auctioner, went to Goldsboro Monday, where be will sell tobacco the coming season. Bray Bros, are among the busiest dealers on the market. They are buy-ing quantities of leaf and scrap any-where and everywhere. Mr. Thos. D. Meadows, auctioner at the Farmers warehouse the past sea-son, will go to Greenville soon, where he has secured a position. The census bureau is considering the j advisability of a special census on the tobacco crop, to include investigations on grades, varieties, utility, etc, of various tobaccos. The old veteran, J. Mac. Smith, of Danville, will auctioneer for Messrs. Lee & Jones, Timmonsville, S. C . the coming year. Mr. Smith's friends here will be glad to learn that he is still in ! the harness. A train of twenty live cars contain- ! lng G30 hogsheads of tobaeco, was shipped from Henderson, Ky.,to Liver-pool and Belfast via New Orleans last month. It is said to be the biggest shipment ever made from that section. Messrs. Cobb,Gorrell,Gwyn, Vaughn, Ferrell and Coleman, a jolly crowd of Winston tobacconists, came down Fri-day to join Messrs. Whitt, Sellers, Wil-son and the Brays in a day's recreation at Hamburg mill, where a sumptuous fish fry was enjoyed during the day. Among those marketing leaf here the past week we noticed I.D.Grissom, of northeastern Guilford; R. W. Fitch, of Alamance; John Michael, of eastern Guilford; W. L. Morton, of northern I Guilford, and W. F. Andrew, of south- 1 eastern Guilford. They marketed only ! the common grades. Consul-General Wildman, at Hong j Kong, makes the fol'owing unfavor- | able report of the possibilities of Amer-ican manufactured tobacco in China: I "Almost nil; aud I can hold out no I hope for the future, as our tobacco j will not keep In this climate. It loses j both Its strength and flavor. The 1 wants of all classes are fully met by !the Manila product, and first-class : cigars can be bought for one cent M«x- 1 lean upward." The North Carolina crop bulletin for the week ending Monday, July 9, says : "Tobacco is late in the north-central ; portion, where topping has just begun_ , and Is somewhat uneven elsewhere; it , is suffering from drought and firing in Johnston aud a few other counties. In general tobacco appears to have made good growth; cuttiug has commenced in six eastern counties, namely, Mar-tin, Green, Duplin, Carteret, Onslow aud Wayne, and some was cured." —A meeting of the survivors of the Fifth North Carolina Cavalry was held at the Banner warehouse here July 4th. The purpose of the meeting was to aid Rev. Edward Wootten, of Wilmington, in securiug data for a history of the regiment. Resolutions were passed to that effect. Capt. John R. Irvin, of Charlotte, was elected chairman and Col. Paul B. Mesas, of Concord, secre-tary. Among those preseut were Mrs. Holmer, daughter of Col. Shaw and Mrs. Bryan, his former widow. Registration.

TOBACCO NOTES.
—Permanent patronage is what we
want. Our reputation is more to us
than the prjee of a pair of shoes. That
is the reason we take the greatest care
to sell only shoes that will give satis-faction
to the wearer, and for the same
reason we always want you to return
any pair of shoes that you buy from
our store which are not what we rep-resented
them to be. We have custo-mers
and whole families who buy their
shoes from us year after year, who will
tell you that we sell reliable shoes and
that we are always ready and willing
to make It right if the shoes do not
give satisfaction.

"The Bnrned Corner" to be Rebuilt.
We are pleased to learn that the va-cant
Benbow lots on South Elm street
between Johnson & Dorsett'a store and
the Hotel Ouilfordare soon to be occu-pied
by a handsome block with a
frontage of sixty-five feet on South
Elm and one hundred and fifty feet on
Sycamore streets, containing one hun-dred
rooms above the three which will
embrace the first floor. As to the plans
or materials we are not posted, bat
knowing that the Hotel Guilford,
which was built under the same man-agement
thirty years ago has few
equals in stability or architectural de-sign,
we feel certain that the city will
be ornamented by the erection of this
new block, which will be constructed
so as to be equally well adapted for a
hotel or an office building. Excavations
for the foundation are being made.

Mr. A. S. Morris, of Froximity, was
shot at the BattleGround last Wednes-day
by a negro, Will Ingram, and died
Thursday night. Mr. Morris and the
negro bad quarreled about a debt due
Morris and when the negro was knock-ed
down he arose and shot Mr. Morris.

fatal, but when inllammatlon
set in he sank rapidly.

: cigars can be bought for one cent M«x-
1 lean upward."
