Interesting- Exercises at the New Pomona
Graded School Building.
The auditorium of the new graded
school buildiug at Pomona was crowd-ed
last Friday evening by the scholars
and friends of the school, who had as-sembled
to witness the piesentatiou of
a Bible and American tlag to the school
by Greensboro Lodge, No. 13, Junior
Order United American Mechanics.
This order, pledged as it is to theestab-lishuient
and maintenance of the pub-lie
school system, signalizes the com-pletion
of every school house, where it
is possible to do so, by public exercises
cousistiug of addresses, patriotic sougs
and the ceremouy of flag raising. The
formal raising of the flag wasdispeused
with Friday evening, owing t*> the fact
that the exercises occurred at night
rather than in day time, as is custom-ary.
When the members of the Junior
Order reached the school buildiug Iu
a body at eight o'clock they fouud
a hearty welcome awaiting them.
Au invocation ollered up by Rev. C.
A. G. Thomas, of Edeuton, marked
the opening of the exercises. After
patriotic songs had been snug by the
school, and Introductory remarks by
the master ol ceremonies, Capt. F. P.
Hobgood, Jr., the Bible was presented
by Rev. Thomas, who is one of the
most prominent members of the order
iu the state. He made a splendid ad-dress
of twenty minutes or more, and
was followed by Mayor O. B. Eaton,
of Winston-Saleni, who presented the
flag iu an appropriate speech. The
gifts were accepted on behalf of the
school by Prof. E. J. Forney, a mem-ber
of the district committee, who
made a nice talk. Dr. Mclver, presi-dent
of the state Normal and Indus-trial
College, at the solicitation of the
master of ceremonies, gave some of the
interesting educational history of the
district and the eilorts that led up to
the establishment of this school, with
its equipment equal to that of the aver-age
city school. Miss Annie Wet more,
the principal, thanked the assembly
for its evident interest in the school
and the Junior Order for its kind con-sideration,
making one of the brightest
speeches of the evening. Interspersed
throughout the exercises were national
and state songs, enthusiastically ren-dered.
It might be added that the
Junior Order is the only organization
in the country which stands as a unit
in favor of one general non-sectarian
free school system throughout the
United States.
The Salvation Army.
Adjutant and Mrs. Hawkins, of the
Salvation Army, are just now making
arrangements to give S00 poor men and
women of the city ol Ureeusboro a free
Christmas dinner in their hall on De-cember
27th. Also on January 3rd,
1905, a New Year's tree to loo poor
children and supply tbeni with some
article of warm clothing or shoes. An
appeal will be issued iu a few .lays,
stating just what will be required and
we trust the people of (ireensboro will
respond liberally to this worthy under-taking.
Meetings are being held every night
in the ball, 214 West Market street.
Sunday's meetings in the hall Will be
as follows: 11 A. M. II illness meeting;
8.30 Christian's praise meeting; 8 P. M.
Salvation meeting. The public is in-vited
to all these meetings.
The congregations of West Market
and Spring Garden M. E. churches
welcomed their new pastors Sunday.
At West Market Rev. G. H. Detwiler,
D. I)., was heard by unusually large
congregations both morning and even-ing,
expounding God's Word iu a prac-tical
and convincing manner. Rev.
Harold Turner's sermons at Spring
Garden were heard by congregations
that tilled the church. He pleached
strong sermons that were likewise list-ened
to with interest. Rev. Dr. Tur-rentiue's
first sermon as presiding elder
of the Greensboro district was preached
at Holt's chape', two miles east of the
city. At nig!11 he preached to Rev. J.
A. Bowles' Walnut street congregation.
Greensboro contributed nearly a car
load of the 15,000 people who saw the
Virginia-Carolina football game at
Richmond ou Thanksgiving day. A
tiner contest was never witnessed on
a Southern field, the teams being
evenly matched. Virginia won by au
accident, the ball striking u North
Carolina player's hands and bounding
over a goal when otherwise it would
have fallen short. The score was 12 to
11.
Quick Arrest.
J. A. Gulledge, of Verbena, Ala.,was
twice iu the hospital from a severe case
of piles causing 24 tumors. After doc-tors
and all remedies failed, fiuckien's
Arnica Salve quickly arrested further
inflammation and cured him. It con-quers
aches aud kills pain. 25c, at all
druggists.
Guilford Youngsters Elope.
Reimer R. Regan, a sou of Mr. J. W.
; Regan, who lives a couple of miles
j south of the city, aud Fannie M. Pas-i
chal, a daughter of Mr. E. F. Paschal,
of Sumner township, surprised their
I families and frieuds last week by elop-ing
to South Carolina and getting mar-ried.
The youngsters left here Friday
levelling in company with a mutual
i friend, Jim McCauley, and went to
; Spartanburg, where they were mar-
I ried the following day by S. If. Wood,
| a notary public. Immediately after
I the ceremony they left for Chatta-
| nooga, McCauley returning home that
' night. On the way to the Palmetto
j state young Regan talked freely to fel-low
passeugers of the allair in which
he was a principal, uotouly exhibiting
pride in the way he got the girl away
from home without being overtaken
by her father, but telling how he had
artfully secured $200 from his father
i with which to make the trip. Regan
| is perhaps eighteen years old, while
his bride is two or three years his
junior. Parental sanction of the match,
j which had naturally been withheld be-cause
of the tender ages of the couple,
may now as well be ollered.
GREENSBORO TOBACCO MARKET.
New Furniture Installed.
Mr. Howard Gardner, the druggist,
has completed the installation of the
furniture In his new drug store oppo-
'■ site the postoffice and now has one of
the most attractive business rooms in
J the South. The new furniture is of
the best grade obtainable, handsomely
finished and attractive in every detail.
Large mirrors heighten the pleasing
effect. The store is stocked to over-flowing
with all kinds of drugs, pro-prietary
medicines, perfumery, toilet
articles, etc., all of which are now dis-played
to the best possible advantage,
the modern conveniences of the new
furniture enabling everything to be
handled with the greatest facility. A
lance and well-lighted presetptiou room
at the rear adds greatly to the equip-ment
of the new store, while other
rooms are devoted to the storage of
cheiii.-nis and heavy stock fouud in
every first class drug store. A truss
room is yet to be fitted up at the rear,
but it will be ready in a few days.
Everything about the store, including
the soda fountain and ice box, is well
arranged and unsurpassed in cleanli-ness
and sanitary conditions. Mr.
Gardner would like all his friends to
call and inspect his new store.
Young- Negro Accidentally Kills Com-panion.
Criminal carelessness in handling
their guns resulted iu the death of oue
of three colored boys yesterday after-noon.
The boys were hunting in the
fields a couple of miles east of town
when they sat down to rest and two of
the number, Will (one and Matthew-
Pass, began to point their guns at each
other and playfully snap the triggers
on what were supposed lobe empty
shells. One barrel of the Pass boy's
gun contained a loaded shell, however,
and when he pulled down on it Gore
fell with a heavy charge of shot in his
breast, dying almost instantly. Hastily
summoning a man who was plowing
in a Held nearby Pass came to town
and surrendered to Chief Scott. He
will be given a hearing this afternoon.
Coroner Turner immediately made an
investigation that convinced him the
shooting was accidental and he deemed
an inquest unnecessary. Will Banks,
the only witness to the shooting, cor-roborated
the story told by Pass to the
officers. Pass and Gore were good
friends and had lived together ou Per-
; kins street for some time.
Coe Brothers, the enterprising Booth-side
grocers, have purchased the Ban-
; kin Brothers grocery stock and aresell-iog
