S I ?l '■ ar Dm^gUn The Katz property, on the corner of South Elm and Sycamore streets, which was recently damaged by fire, was purchased yesterday by Col. W. 8. Thomson and Mr. Lee H. Battle, pres-ident and cashier of the City National Bank, who will improve it at once. They contemplate the erection of a live-story building there, but their plans are not yet matured. The Southern Loan and Trust Com-pany, of this city, has given up its suc-cessful lire insurance business because of the feeling that a company doing a banking and life insurance business should not subject itself to the hazard-ous risks of lire insurance. The lire risks have all been transferred to other standard companies which will be rep-resented by Mr. McAlister as general' 'agent. i Word was received from Mr. C. N. McAdoo yesterday morning that his father-in-law, Mr. 1). A. Breard, of Monroe, La., had just died at Kl Paso, Texas, of consumption. Mr. Breard visited his daughter. Mrs. McAdoo, I here last fall and is known to a iiuni- ! ber of our people. He was one of the largest planters of his state «und had extensive financial interests in the southwest. His family was with him when the end came. Mr. ('. I). Benbow received a ship-ment of .wii Aimoru goats from Flori-da Monday. They were sent out to liis farm on Reedy Fork, where he has four hundred acres of unimproved land .fenced in. These goats are expected within two years by continual nipping of the buds and feeding on the bushes I to clear up the undergrowth. Out of the 350 in the shipment twenty of them were found dead when they ar-rived as a result of overcrowding in the | ears. Mrs. T. J. Smith, an excellent wo-man living two miles east ol Summer-field, died of pneumonia at 1 o'clock Sunday morning and was buried yes-terday afternoon at Summerlield. She was a daughter of Mr. Jesse McMichel, who lives in the same neighborhood, and was about forty years old. She had long been a member of the M. I'.. church at Summerlield and will be sadly missed in her home, church and social circles. I'he bereaved husband has the sympathy of a host of friends. Mrs. Margaret Stewart Battle, wife of Rev. II. W. Battle, D. I)., pastor of the first Baptist church, suffered a stroke a paralysis Saturday morning which a fleets her entire right side. She has since been in a critical condi-tion but yesterday seemed better in some respei-ts. The many friends of the family ale much concerned over her condition and welcome any word of an encouraging nature from her. Dr. Battle had not been well for several days prior to his wife's illness. but*is improving slowly. 'fhe wife of Mr. I!. L. Avery, yard-master of the Southern Railway here for several months, died at the resi-dence of Mrs. Doyle, on West Sycamore Street, Sunday of consumption and the remains were taken to ber former home at Waidroil, Did., for interment. Mrs. A very bad been a resident of Greens-boro but about six months, and her health had been so poor that her ac-quaintance here was necessarily lim-ited, yet much practical sympathy was shown the bereaved husband. She was about thirty years old. A busy time is approaching for the farmers, much of the mid-winter work that should have been done ere this yet remaining to delay the spring opera-tions. Since the late fall there lias been no plowing done, thegrouud hav-ing been frozen almost continuously since the middleof November. Whe: t shows much improvement of late, and the state entomologist says Hie fruit prospects are remarkably line, so there is much to Stimulate the agricultural-ist, even though he is somewhat be-hind with his work at the beginning of the season. M. E. Fox & Company, Next door to postortice. As previously stated in these columns this linn re-cently located in Greensboro. The Fox millinery establishment has been suc-cessfully carried on in central New York for the past twenty years, under the management of Mrs. Alice Hazel-ton, an experienced buyer and designer. who has established a reputation for up-to-dateness in all things pertaining to millinery.

His Last Illness Terminated In the First Morning; Hour of Saturday. The silent grave holds all that is mortal of Jesse Hankiu \V barton, one of Greensboro's honored citizens whose illness in recent months has been noted from time to time in these columns. 'I'he end came peacefully between the bourn of twelve and one o'clock Satur-day morning, and while it brought grief inexpressible to an uncommonly large circle of friends and relatives it marked the dawn of an eternal day for one of the purest and best men the community has ever known. Few there are in the cily or county who knew not the familiar face of the de-ceased, his long connection with the public school system bringing him into close touch with two generations of his fellow men. Walking constantly up-right in the Bight of God and man his life was an inspiration and an exam-ple to the youth of the county, in which his interest and energies seemed to center. As county superintendent of public instruction for nearly a quar-ter of a century he developed a school system in Guilford that is unexcelled in any county in the state, giving up that work scarcely a year ago by rea-son of the infirmities of age: but it stands today as a monument to his ability, his energy and his untiring philanthropic zeal. From early man-hood his pure character, his lutellec-1 tual endowments, his lofty ideals, his: integrity, his fidelity to every worthy ' cause had all been marked characteris-tics, and the Impress of his character I upon the community is indelibly fixed. But the useful life is ended, and naught but the healing touch of Tiniecan bind the wounded hearts of those to whom he was nearest and dearest. Jesse l>. Wharton was born Septem-ber -l, Is:;;!, at the Wharton homestead near what is now the northern limits of the city. His parents were the late Watson and Melinda Wharton. After an academic training he took the full i.-v.. nj t lie state University, grad-uating therefrom at the age of twenty-three. He had ever since been promi-nently identified with educational in-terests. His first year as a teacher was spent in eastern North Carolina. II was there he met and married his lir.-t j wife, Miss Martha L. Turner. Of that union, dating from August ::, ls'.'.i, two j children were born, a son and a daugh- : ter. 'I'he daughter dieil at the age of I sixteen. 'I'he son, Rev. '!'. A. Whar-ton, D. 1'.. is pastor of a flourishing church, Hie First Presbyterian, in Co-lumbia, Ten ii. He visited bis father here only a few weeks ago, but was taken ill soon after his return home and was unable to attend the funeral. On May hi, IS'17, Mr. Wharton was united in marriage to Miss Mary J. ' Bankin, of this county, who survives. To them were born four sons, Messrs. , Henry W.. Ernest R., Lee G. and Robert H. Wharton. Mr. Lee G. Wharton died Tast year. The other three sons are all residents of this city. Mr. Wharton taught school one year at Statesville and two years at Salisbury, returning from the latter place because of his father's failing health. With the exception of the periods mentioned and three years spent as a Soldier in the cause of the Confederacy his life was spent in his native county. I luring the war be-tween the slates he served with dis-tinction and valor with several other Guilford men in a Virginia battalion of artillery, most of the time in an I Official capacity. After the war he \ taught for a time in the old Kdgeworth academy and upon the establishment of a graded school system here, the' fust in the state, was made super!u-1 tendent. In a few years lie was made county superintendent, filling that po-sition, as others, with signal ability. Tiie only break in the period of his ad-ministration of county school affairs was one of two years when Mr. S. A. j Hoilgin was superintendent under a j Republican administration. For three years prior to the fall of 1893, when the PATRIOT came under its present man-: agement, he and one sou, Mr. Henry ■ W. Wharton, successfully guided the j destinies of this publication through a trying period. Always a student and: a ureat reader, Mr. Wharton was a writer of unusual ability, being gifted' with a power of expression that was ' forcible by reason of its directness and simplicity. He was a lifelong l'resby- i terian, a valued member of the First Presbyterian congregation, and his fu- j neral took place from the First church Sunday afternoon, conducted, in the; absence of the pastor, Dr. Smith, by j Rev. C. E. Hodgiu, of Westminster! church. After an appropriate service j the body was laid-to rest m Greene Hill cemetery, Messrs. J. W. Scott, G. | II. McKinney, G. W. Denny, K. M. i llendrix, W. C. McLean and R. G. Vaughn acting as pallbearers. A large bodyHf Confederate veterans attended i the service, their honored comrade having long been a member in good standing of the local camp. Many of those in the large congregation felt that they had lost a warm personal friend. Peace to his ashes. MARKET REPORT. The receipts on our market for the past week have been the largest during the present crop, and throughout the entire week farmers came in from every section of the country in great droves and the warehouses were full every day during the week except Monday. Some of them were full to overflowing a good many days; and despite the fact that sales were heavy prices coutiuued about the same on all grades and farmers, as a rule, were well pleased with their sales. Of course, there were a few people who took in their tobacco, but afterward let it iro at a small advauee or possibly uo advance at all. This was true a good many years ago when tobacco was selling higher that it has ever sold before or since and will continue to be true regard leess of the price, but the majority of our customers last week were highly pleased aud made very satisfactory sales. We saw no giving away in prices at any time, aud ou last Saturday, which was about as large a sale as we had, farmers were, if anything, better pleased than they were any day during the week. We ! did not see but two piles of tobacco ta-ken in on this sale. The bulk of the offerings was in smokers and fillers, with no line wrappers scarcely at all. | There was-a great deal of very common undesirable tobacco sold on this mar-: ket last week and also a great deal of : very desirable tobacco in working stock. On the whole, we think that the buyers had about all they could do, , and farmers were well pleased aud will continue to patronize us more free- : ly. The farmers of this section are be-ginning to realize that this market is fully as good, if not better, than any market in their reach. Our buyers are still anxious for the weed and the mar-ket is active. The Strength of a Bank Is represented by its capital, surplus and careful management. The Southern Loan and Trust Company Was organized in lSliO, but has been doing a Hanking business only about three years. During this time its growth has been rapid but healthful, aud today it is in the front of Banking institutious iu Guilford county.

Mr. (L W. King, of Rockingbam, was here last week. His prices ranged from jii to $19.50, averaging $12 per hundred for a medium lot of tobacco. II. C. Kudd, of Brown Summit, was here last week with a good lot of medi-um tobacco which he sold at $8.25 to $17.00and was well pleased with his prices. Col. W. H. Evans was a prominent Alamance farmet on our market last week with tobacco and expressed him-self as being well pleased with his j prices. T. J. Friddle. Henry Baldwin and J. | l>. Page, some of our good farmer friends from Kockingham county, were here with tobacco last week that sold satisfactorily. J. 1". Cuuimings, a prominent farmer of Kockingham, was here with a lot of good medium tobacco last week. His prices ranged from $5 to $18 per hun-dred and averaged 11 cents. I!. K. Fryer has been here from one to three times a week for several weeks, which is very favorable for our market. He has tried other markets, but is sell-ing all this tobacco here now. Walter Maxwell, F. F. Sharp aud Abe Iteed, some of Hockingham's good farmers and Oreensboro's good old stand-byes, were on this market last week with tobacco and well pleased with their prices. ('apt. J. W. Forbis. one of (iuilford county's oldest and best citizens, was here with tobacco last week. His prices ranged from $6 to $27.50, and it is useless to say that he was highly pleased with his sales. Uurold friend J. W. Ellis, of Liberty was here with a lot of his tobacco last Saturday. His prices ranged from $7 to f-H per hundred. He said he got more than he expected for it, and of course he was pleased. Samuel Hullines, of eastern (iuilford, was here with his last loa.l of tobacco last week. His prices ranged from $5.20 to $22.50 per hundred. He has sold his entire crop on this market and has made a good average. .1. J. Everett, A. P. Low, W. ll. Warren, W. (). Doggett, J. II. Dick,; C. P. Terrell and J. B. Ogburn.some of Guilford'S best farmers, were all on the market during the past week, and were | all well pleased with their sales. B. B. Fonville, R. A. C. Kernodle, J. W. Loy, J. F. Iseley, (i. T. Hurdle, O W. Faucett, J. P. King, L. B.Cantrell, J. 11. Hall, J. F. Foster, Joe Cobb and 1). la. Garrison were some of the prom-inent Alamance farmers on this market during the past week. For lack of space we fail to give many names, but there were hundreds of farmers who sold on this market K. P. WHARTOX, A. W. MCAUSTEB, President. Vice Pres. R. G. VAUGHN, Treasurer. DAVID WHITE, Secretary. during the past week and were well pleased with their sales whom we would like very much to mention. However, we thank them just as heart ily for their patronage and hope they will come to see us again. Miss Percy McNeely, a little girl of about twelve years of age, was here with a crop of tobacco that she worked with her own hands and sold it on this market last Saturday for $41.73, which is a mighty good showing for a twelve year old girl and convinces us of the fact that industry and energy will al-ways accomplish something even if it is only a small irirl who possesses it. Can't a good many little girls in this section do as well or better this year? Annual Meeting of the Farmers' Mutual.

S I ?l '■ ar Dm^gUn The Katz property, on the corner of South Elm and Sycamore streets, which was recently damaged by fire, was purchased yesterday by Col. W. 8. Thomson and Mr. Lee H. Battle, pres-ident and cashier of the City National Bank, who will improve it at once. They contemplate the erection of a live-story building there, but their plans are not yet matured. The Southern Loan and Trust Com-pany, of this city, has given up its suc-cessful lire insurance business because of the feeling that a company doing a banking and life insurance business should not subject itself to the hazard-ous risks of lire insurance. The lire risks have all been transferred to other standard companies which will be rep-resented by Mr. McAlister as general' 'agent. i Word was received from Mr. C. N. McAdoo yesterday morning that his father-in-law, Mr. 1). A. Breard, of Monroe, La., had just died at Kl Paso, Texas, of consumption. Mr. Breard visited his daughter. Mrs. McAdoo, I here last fall and is known to a iiuni- ! ber of our people. He was one of the largest planters of his state «und had extensive financial interests in the southwest. His family was with him when the end came. Mr. ('. I). Benbow received a ship-ment of .wii Aimoru goats from Flori-da Monday. They were sent out to liis farm on Reedy Fork, where he has four hundred acres of unimproved land .fenced in. These goats are expected within two years by continual nipping of the buds and feeding on the bushes I to clear up the undergrowth. Out of the 350 in the shipment twenty of them were found dead when they ar-rived as a result of overcrowding in the | ears. Mrs. T. J. Smith, an excellent wo-man living two miles east ol Summer-field, died of pneumonia at 1 o'clock Sunday morning and was buried yes-terday afternoon at Summerlield. She was a daughter of Mr. Jesse McMichel, who lives in the same neighborhood, and was about forty years old. She had long been a member of the M. I'.. church at Summerlield and will be sadly missed in her home, church and social circles. I'he bereaved husband has the sympathy of a host of friends. Mrs. Margaret Stewart Battle, wife of Rev. II. W. Battle, D. I)., pastor of the first Baptist church, suffered a stroke a paralysis Saturday morning which a fleets her entire right side. She has since been in a critical condi-tion but yesterday seemed better in some respei-ts. The many friends of the family ale much concerned over her condition and welcome any word of an encouraging nature from her. Dr. Battle had not been well for several days prior to his wife's illness. but*is improving slowly. 'fhe wife of Mr. I!. L. Avery, yard-master of the Southern Railway here for several months, died at the resi-dence of Mrs. Doyle, on West Sycamore Street, Sunday of consumption and the remains were taken to ber former home at Waidroil, Did., for interment. Mrs. A very bad been a resident of Greens-boro but about six months, and her health had been so poor that her ac-quaintance here was necessarily lim-ited, yet much practical sympathy was shown the bereaved husband. She was about thirty years old. A busy time is approaching for the farmers, much of the mid-winter work that should have been done ere this yet remaining to delay the spring opera-tions. Since the late fall there lias been no plowing done, thegrouud hav-ing been frozen almost continuously since the middleof November. Whe: t shows much improvement of late, and the state entomologist says Hie fruit prospects are remarkably line, so there is much to Stimulate the agricultural-ist, even though he is somewhat be-hind with his work at the beginning of the season.

His Last Illness Terminated In the First Morning; Hour of Saturday. The silent grave holds all that is mortal of Jesse Hankiu \V barton, one of Greensboro's honored citizens whose illness in recent months has been noted from time to time in these columns. 'I'he end came peacefully between the bourn of twelve and one o'clock Satur-day morning, and while it brought grief inexpressible to an uncommonly large circle of friends and relatives it marked the dawn of an eternal day for one of the purest and best men the community has ever known. Few there are in the cily or county who knew not the familiar face of the de-ceased, his long connection with the public school system bringing him into close touch with two generations of his fellow men. Walking constantly up-right in the Bight of God and man his life was an inspiration and an exam-ple to the youth of the county, in which his interest and energies seemed to center. As county superintendent of public instruction for nearly a quar-ter of a century he developed a school system in Guilford that is unexcelled in any county in the state, giving up that work scarcely a year ago by rea-son of the infirmities of age: but it stands today as a monument to his ability, his energy and his untiring philanthropic zeal. From early man-hood his pure character, his lutellec-1 tual endowments, his lofty ideals, his: integrity, his fidelity to every worthy ' cause had all been marked characteris-tics, and the Impress of his character I upon the community is indelibly fixed. But the useful life is ended, and naught but the healing touch of Tiniecan bind the wounded hearts of those to whom he was nearest and dearest. Jesse l>. Wharton was born Septem-ber -l, Is:;;!, at the Wharton homestead near what is now the northern limits of the city. His parents were the late Watson and Melinda Wharton. After an academic training he took the full i.-v.. nj t lie state University, grad-uating therefrom at the age of twenty-three. He had ever since been promi-nently identified with educational in-terests. His first year as a teacher was spent in eastern North Carolina. II was there he met and married his lir.-t j wife, Miss Martha L. Turner. Of that union, dating from August ::, ls'.'.i, two j children were born, a son and a daugh- : ter. 'I'he daughter dieil at the age of I sixteen. 'I'he son, Rev. '!'. A. Whar-ton, D. 1'.. is pastor of a flourishing church, Hie First Presbyterian, in Co-lumbia, Ten ii. He visited bis father here only a few weeks ago, but was taken ill soon after his return home and was unable to attend the funeral. On May hi, IS'17, Mr. Wharton was united in marriage to Miss Mary J. ' Bankin, of this county, who survives. To them were born four sons, Messrs. , Henry W.. Ernest R., Lee G. and Robert H. Wharton. Mr. Lee G. Wharton died Tast year. The other three sons are all residents of this city. Mr. Wharton taught school one year at Statesville and two years at Salisbury, returning from the latter place because of his father's failing health. With the exception of the periods mentioned and three years spent as a Soldier in the cause of the Confederacy his life was spent in his native county. I luring the war be-tween the slates he served with dis-tinction and valor with several other Guilford men in a Virginia battalion of artillery, most of the time in an I Official capacity. After the war he \ taught for a time in the old Kdgeworth academy and upon the establishment of a graded school system here, the' fust in the state, was made super!u-1 tendent. In a few years lie was made county superintendent, filling that po-sition, as others, with signal ability. Tiie only break in the period of his ad-ministration of county school affairs was one of two years when Mr. S. A. j Hoilgin was superintendent under a j Republican administration. For three years prior to the fall of 1893, when the PATRIOT came under its present man-: agement, he and one sou, Mr. Henry ■ W. Wharton, successfully guided the j destinies of this publication through a trying period. Always a student and: a ureat reader, Mr. Wharton was a writer of unusual ability, being gifted' with a power of expression that was ' forcible by reason of its directness and simplicity. He was a lifelong l'resby- i terian, a valued member of the First Presbyterian congregation, and his fu- j neral took place from the First church Sunday afternoon, conducted, in the; absence of the pastor, Dr. Smith, by j Rev. C. E. Hodgiu, of Westminster! church. After an appropriate service j the body was laid-to rest m Greene Hill cemetery, Messrs. J. W. Scott, G. | II. McKinney, G. W. Denny, K. M. i llendrix, W. C. McLean and R. G. Vaughn acting as pallbearers. A large bodyHf Confederate veterans attended i the service, their honored comrade having long been a member in good standing of the local camp. Many of those in the large congregation felt that they had lost a warm personal friend. Peace to his ashes. MARKET REPORT. The receipts on our market for the past week have been the largest during the present crop, and throughout the entire week farmers came in from every section of the country in great droves and the warehouses were full every day during the week except Monday. Some of them were full to overflowing a good many days; and despite the fact that sales were heavy prices coutiuued about the same on all grades and farmers, as a rule, were well pleased with their sales. Of course, there were a few people who took in their tobacco, but afterward let it iro at a small advauee or possibly uo advance at all. This was true a good many years ago when tobacco was selling higher that it has ever sold before or since and will continue to be true regard leess of the price, but the majority of our customers last week were highly pleased aud made very satisfactory sales. We saw no giving away in prices at any time, aud ou last Saturday, which was about as large a sale as we had, farmers were, if anything, better pleased than they were any day during the week. We ! did not see but two piles of tobacco ta-ken in on this sale. The bulk of the offerings was in smokers and fillers, with no line wrappers scarcely at all. | There was-a great deal of very common undesirable tobacco sold on this mar-: ket last week and also a great deal of : very desirable tobacco in working stock. On the whole, we think that the buyers had about all they could do, , and farmers were well pleased aud will continue to patronize us more free- : ly. The farmers of this section are be-ginning to realize that this market is fully as good, if not better, than any market in their reach. Our buyers are still anxious for the weed and the mar-ket is active. The Strength of a Bank Is represented by its capital, surplus and careful management.

Uurold friend J. W. Ellis, of Liberty was here with a lot of his tobacco last Saturday. His prices ranged from $7 to f-H per hundred. He said he got more than he expected for it, and of course he was pleased. Samuel Hullines, of eastern (iuilford, was here with his last loa.l of tobacco last week. His prices ranged from $5.20 to $22.50 per hundred. He has sold his entire crop on this market and has made a good average. .1. J. Everett, A. P. Low, W. ll. Warren, W. (). Doggett, J. II. Dick,; C.

However, we thank them just as heart ily for their patronage and hope they will come to see us again. Miss Percy McNeely, a little girl of about twelve years of age, was here with a crop of tobacco that she worked with her own hands and sold it on this market last Saturday for $41.73, which is a mighty good showing for a twelve year old girl and convinces us of the fact that industry and energy will al-ways accomplish something even if it is only a small irirl who possesses it. Can't a good many little girls in this section do as well or better this year? Annual Meeting of the Farmers' Mutual.
