Death of Mrs. Margaret Glenn Scott.
Greeusboro was almost overwhelmed
with grief Monday morning at the an-nouncement
of the death of Mrs. Mar-garet
Gleun Scott, one of the beloved
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Tyre Glenn
and wife of Dr. Charles L. Scott. The
death augel had hovered at her bedside
for two or three days seemingly hesi-tating
before blotting out the sweet
young life that hung in the balauce,
but the blow to the family and friends
was none the less severe. Few young
people have enjoyed the measure of
love and esteem bestowed on Mrs.
Scott. It seems but a short time yet
three years have passed since she be-came
the bride of Dr. Scott. The love-liness
and grace of her early youth con-tinued
to develop in her uew relation-ship,
the added duties of motherhood
bringing out characteristics that in-creased
the universal esteem in which
she was held. Yet the grave closed
over her on the twenty-first anniver-sary
of her birth, aud only a blessed
memory (ills the aching hearts of tnose
to whom she was neatest and dearest.
Beside the bereaved husband a win-some
daughter sixteen mouths old is
left.
Mrs. Scott bad been ill for several

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market tor the
past week have been light again owiug
to the extreme bad weather which has
prevailed throughout the entire week.
We were, however, very much sur-prised
to see good size sales last Satur-day
and agaiu on yesterday. We can
hardly see how so many farmers man-age
to get their tobacco in shape for
market to give us these good sales.
The quality of the tobacco remains in
keeping with the previous offerings in
this season and prices on all grades are
fully as high as they have been at any
time duriug the present season. We
regard this the best time to sell tobacco
that you will likely get In this crop
and would advise our friends to take
advantage of the market and sell all
the tobacco they can in the very near
future. Our buyers seem to be more
anxious for the weed than they have
been at any time within the past two
mouths aud are now willing to pay
you outside prices for all of your to-bacco.
