Kscaping steam in the Infirmary at the State Normal College caused a still alarm to be sent to the lire department Monday evening by some one who did not know the exact nature of the trouble. (>ne of the best and largest stocks of ladies' slippers and ties ever shown in Greensboro can be seen at Thacker & Brockmann's. The $1.85, $1.50 and •*J.oo Oxford ties are great values and hard tti beat anywhere. The one-horse plow has a longer and a higher beam than any one-bores plow on the market. The Greensboro Hardware Company will take pleasure in explaining the superior merits of this plow to anyone interested. At a called meeting of the board of aldermen Monday a contract was awarded to Mr. J. C. Morris for the erection of a hospital building 12x28 feet, to be completed this week, near the site of the present house of deten-tion. Roadmaster II. L. Fry, of this divi-sion of the Southern Railway, is acting engineer of maintenance of way at present, relieving Mr. fl. A. Southgate, who is ill in a hospital at Atlanta. Capt. H. D. Knight is lilling Mr. Fry's place temporarily. Mr. W. G. Randall, the artist, will leave in a few days for New Mexico, where he will reside in the future, hop-ing that his health may be restored. Mrs. Randall will join him this sum-mer, after the close of the present term at the State Normal. The brick work on the walls of the Federal building was completed last week. The chimneys are rearing their heads heavenward this week, while the carpeuters are making very satisfactory progress on the roof framing, notwith-standing the weather. Kver been through the "Blue Grass" region of Kentucky? Lots of old Guil-ford county farms could be made just as beautiful if care and attention and a bountiful use of grass seed were used. We've got the grass seed. C. BCOTT A Co. Mr. J. T. Snider, carrier of rural free delivery route No. 1, has tendered his resignation to take ellect on the ap-pointment of his successor. He has a more lucrative position ollered him. Messrs. J. ('. Hockett and R. K. Hod-gin are eligible to appointment as car-riers for the route, both having passed the examination some time ago. The Battle-Matthews Lumber Com-pany, of (ireensboro, was chartered last week svith an authorized capital stock of $50,000, the stockholders being Dr. J. T. J. Rattle and W. H. Matthews, of this city, and F. E. Dudley, of Fee Dee. S. ('. The company is privileged to manufacture lumber, iron, steel, etc., and carry on mining operations. Mr. A. Y. D. Smith, secretary and treasurer of the YanDeventer Carpet Company, of Greensboro, attended the funeral of his father, who died at his home in western New Jersey, last week. Mr. Smith had started north before the news of his father's death came, having learned that he was suf-fering from an attack of pneumonia. Mr. S. F. Hodgin. a son of the late Asa M. Hodgin and a brother of Mr. It. E. Hodgin, of Stunner township, this county, died last week at his home iu Krie Kansas, aged about fifty-five years. Mr. Hodgin left Guilford thirty-live years ago, living in Indiana a year and then locating iu Kansas. He mar-ried in the latter state and leaves a wife and several children. Millikan It Bain,the real estate deal-ers, who recently purchased the It. G. Glenn farm, on Rattle Ground avenue, have discovered a valuable gold-bear-ing ore vein on the property and will develop il on an extensive scale. As-sayists declare the ore yields over $20 a ton. Some years ago a shaft was sunk on the place, but it was abandoned be-cause low-grade ores were not then in demand. Oartlaml council. No. 00, Jr. <). L". A. M., with ."ill members, has been con-solidated with Greensboro council, No. 18, in accordance with an agreement reached last week, and the last named council now ranks second in point of membership in the state, High Point taking first place with a membership ofHii in Guilford council. In point of enthusiasm Greensboro council bows to none. The highway commissioners went out in a body last week to inspect the work that has been done on the Ala-mance road. They found the grade nearly completed and the new rock crusher in operation. Stone is being spread this week, and if nothing inter-feres the work will be completed within three months. The commission is ar-ranging to put other forces to work on other roads at an early date. The suitot Mrs. Wm. K. Shargreen, widow of the young man who lost his life in the railroad yards here last sum-mer, was compromised in the Forsyth Superior court yesterday, the plaintill accepting $1,200 and the costs of the action iu lieu of the amount asked— $1,999. It will be recalled that Shar-green was a representative of Collier's publishing house, New York, and was canvassing here for some weeks prior to his death. The Southern opened its new freight depot in High Point yesterday and the business men of the town are so happy they will suspend their clamor for a new passenger depot for thirty days. Considering the business High Point furnishes the Southern the town should have the best that's going in the way of depot facilities, both freight and pas-senger. Wonderful things have been accomplished with perseverance and sweet oil, brethren. A Word to Farmers. I have just completed arrangements with a big real estate firm in St. Louis by which they are to send to me west-ern farmers who are looking for south-ern farms. If you care to sell your place or a part of it, come iu and ex-amine our plan, get our terms for sell-ing, etc. S. 8. BKOWN, !'-R 102 North Elm St. Railroad Firemen Fatally Injured. Mr. Thomas Avery Sullivan, a young firemen running on the Southern be-tween Speucer and Monroe, was fa-tally injured in an unusual manner last Wednesday afternoon while on his run South. He was firiug the fast mail. No. 97, that day, and as he ap-proached the bridge over Stauuton river, some forty of fifty miles north of Danville, leaned out the cab window to look at a hot-box on his engine. A projecting timber used by a force of bridge builders making some repairs there struck him a fearful blow on the head, crushing the skull. He was transferred to a mail car and made as comfortable as possible, but died soon after reaching Danville. The remains were brought to Greensboro the next morning and on Friday were taken to Guilford College for interment. Ex-actly three weeks prior to his death Mr. Sullivan was married iu Greens-boro to Miss Jeuuie Cummiugs, of Guilford College. Rev. A. G. Kirk-man, who performed the marriage ceremony, conducted the funeral. A delegation from the Firemen's Brother-hood, of which the deceased was a mem- IT in good standing, attended the funeral. Since their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan had made their home here" with an aunt of the latter, Mrs. C. B. Wilson, living on Walker avenue, but they were to have moved to Spencer the latter part of the month. Much sympathy is felt for the heartbroken young wife and others so sadly bereaved. A Dastardly Assault. Mr. Wallace L. Watson, a fireman on the Southern Railway, made a trip Monday night to Winston on a freight train. Returning his train left Wins-ton shortly after midnight and was making tolerably fast speed when it entered a cut just beyond Kernersville. As the train was entering this cut, Watson, who was on the tender shovel-ing coal into the furnace, was hit by a stone thrown by some unknown per-son standing on the embankment. The fireman was hit squarely in the fore-head and knocked from the tender to the ground. The engineer saw Wat-son's body dropout of sight and hur-riedly reversed the lever and brought the train to a standstill. Several oflhc crew went back and found Watson's body lying beside the rails at the end of the crossties. There was an ugly wound on the forehead and the body was badly bruised. When they search-ed his pockets it was found his watch worth H7 and a ten dollar bill were missing. The railroad people have no clue as to who the assailant was. Wat-son was brought to this city and seut to his home on Asheboro street. He will be laid Up for several days. David, the nine-year-old sou of Rev. J. A. Bowles, who lives two miles east of the city, was seriously injured in a ball game last Friday, and his condition has since been critical. While playing with a number of other children at the public school near his home he was struck by a swift ball thai fractured his skull and rendered him unconscious for many hours. If our information is accurate he was um-piring the game, ami the pitcher, a little girl, dodged the ball that struck him unawares. Rev. Bowles, who is pastor of the Proximity M. K. church, has many friends who are anxiously awaiting the news that his son is on the way to complete recovery. The ac-cident cast a terrible gloom over the school. Twenty-two cases were chalked up on the police court blotter Monday when the fateful hour of four o'clock arrived. By virtue of the magnitude of his crime John Stroud. colored, was the star prisoner of the aggregation. He was accused of larceny—stealing a hat from the Vanstory Clothing Com-pany— and went to Superior court un-der bond. Threeother negroes charged with gambling were granted a contin-uance. The police caught them in the act early Sunday morning. Plain drunks and disorderly conduct consti-tuted most of the other charges. One defendant forfeited a ten dollar bond. At the annual meeting of the stock-holders of the Guilford Battle Ground Company last week the old board of directors was re-elected, which in turn re-elected the old officers by a unani-mous vote. It is agreed that the Fourth of July celebration this year should be equal or superior!to its pred-ecessors in every particular. The pro-gress made by the company the past year has been very gratifying, while its prospects never seemed brighter. Two Hundred Acre Farm for Sale.

F. Ross. GREENSBORO TOBACCO MARKET. MARKET REPORT. The receipts on our market for the past week have not been as large as they were for the previous week, yet they were large enough to keep buyers and warehousemen busy throughout the entire week. The offerings were of about the same quality as the pre-vious week, which means that there was a good deal of good working tobac-co but very few fine to fancy wrappers. The strangest feature about our market for the past week was the fact that prices advanced in a heavy week when sales had been heavy for several weeks. We had not looked for anything like this, yet we saw it. Of course, this is good news to faamers and we are glad on their accouut that this has taken place, for if there is any class of people that we do have sympathy for it is the farmer, because the writer was raised on a tobacco farm. In summing up the present situation, we would say-that prices are better than they have been at all this season, and that the market is strong and active. Buyers seem to be very anxious for the weed at present prices. We think the cause of this advance on this market is due to the fact there is a greater demand for tobacco here than there ever was '. before and the market is not supplying 1 as much tobacco as our buyers need. You can see why this would cause the ; advance, eveu iu the face of big re-ceipts. We want your tobacco here and we think it is a gootl time for you to sell. T'roxler Bros., of Brown Summit, were here recently with tobacco and well pleased. J. J. Busick and J. C. Browning were here with tobacco last week and made good sales. Uncle Dan Kirkman was here yes-terday with a load of good tobacco and well pleased with his sales. David Sockwell, one of Guilford county's good farmers, sold here dur-ing the past week at $8.50 to $20 per hundred. S. R. Albright, S. I). Dick and H. W. Gray were among prominent Guil-ford farmers on this market during the past week. Marvin Groome, one of Guilford's best farmers, was here with a load of tobacco yesterday and highly pleased with his sales. J. It. Moore, of Brown Summit, made his usual trip during the past week and sold a big lot of tobacco here for satisfactory prices. 1*. M. Fryer, of this county, was here again last week and his prices ranged from $5.50 to $24.50 per hundred. He was well pleased with his sales. 1). It. Jeesup, H. R. Cannon, W. T. Bcoggins and Richardson A Chilcutt were among our prominent farmers who sold on this market during the past week. Mr. J. L. Elliott, Union county, Ga., bad a nice lot of tobacco here last week | and was highly pleased with his prices. i This shows that Greensboro territory is > spreading out. T. T. Dudley, one of our old friends • from Friendship, was here last week I with two loads of tobacco. Mr. Dudley had good tobacco and consequently \ gets good prices. W. H. McKinney and A. O. Rudd, two of Brown Summit's best farmers, I were here with tobacco last week and ■ were well pleased. They will be back again this week. We are always glad to have them with us. The following good farmers were here from Alamance county and were I well pleased With their prices: J. E. and S. L. Story, R. C. Dickey, S. T. j Foster, Mebane & Haitb, Mrs. Julia A. I Gilliam, W. F. Fuquay, J. B. Foster, |J. C. Curl, R. L. iFoster, J. I). Ross, I I .eat h & Keruodle and T. M. Ross. Mr. E. L. Liudley, of Chatham coun- I ty, was here last week with the last of his crop raised on fourteen thousand hills, which weighed out a little over 3,400 pounds and brought him $406.12 net. This shows that good farmers can make money on tobacco any year. Mr. Lindley is one of the best tobacco farmers we know and most always has a good crop, regardless of the season. We notice from the Raleigh corre-spondent of the Charlotte Observer that the tobacco crop planted this season will not exceed over sixty per cent, of the crop. In the eastern part of the state where they can grow cotton,as well they are not expected to raiseover twenty-five per cent, of the crop, so we look for a good time for the tobacco farmers iu the old belt, as the trade will have to turn their attention to the old belt for their supply of tobacco next season.

Mr. Andrew Joyner, the newspaper correspondent, is putting in much of his spare time rummaging among the old papers in the court house that have been resurrected for systematic index-ing aud tiling in the new vaults. One of the documents that caught his eye this week was the following report tiled some years ago by a candidate for office whose sworn statemeut of election ex-penses varied somewhat from the ste-reotyped form usually adopted. The statement reads: "I ruuued for justis of pees iu my deestrict in town-ship. I never spent oue sent. I was | defeeted. So help me God." Mrs. 1J. L. Liueberry has gone to ! Baltimore to see her husband, who is ; under treatment iu a hospital there for j stomach trouble. A letter from the i hospital authorities yesterday said that [Mr. Liueberry was critically ill. LATER—Word came last night that Mr. Liueberry was dead. He was a native of Randolph, and moved here about a year ago, after building a nice residence near Lindley park. A man of unblemished character, he stood i high In the esteem of a large circle of | friends. The remains will be brought I here touight. It is' probable that in- : terment will be made in Randolph. j Opening Sale of Our New Shirt Waist De-partment. On Monday we begin a spring saleof our 1904 shirt waists.
