COOKING STOVES.

1t is the universal opinion that Sergeant &
McCauley are manufacturing the best cook
stoves now in use in this section. We fire.
quently hear them praised by those who use
them. This firm has large sales.room on
South street, in the Benbow building, where
business is transacted in regular city style.
Go and see them. You will fud it cheaper to
buy at home than abroad Greensboro State.
We copy the above paragraph from the
Greensboro IN. Co. State, not only on account
of the pleasure it affords US to chronicle the
success of home enterprise, but also to add
our own testimony to the merits of the stoves
made by this firm. We have one of them in
use, and find that it possesses every good quail
ity of any other stove in the market, while it
is made in more durable manner (the plates
being thicker) than of any other manufacture
that we have noticed. 1t is of neat and
stylish pattern, and the casting smooth and
finely finished. With each stove is furnished,
without extra charge, eight feet Of pipe, ham,
boiler, kettle, wafHe.irons, griddle, two pots,
two frying pans, Qarge and smalD and two
baking-pans. The freight on the heaviest
stove from Greensboro to this point is only
$365, which is an important consideration.
To those in need of cooking stoves we cheerful
ly recommend those manufactured by Messrs.
Sergeant & McCauley, whose advertisement
and list of prices may be found in our adver-
tising columns

bequeathed the greater portion of his property
to his daughter, Gabrielle, while the wills
formerly made contained bequests for various
public institutions. The trustees of these in
stitutions contested the last will, ON the
grounds of Mr.. Greeley's alleged insanity,
and the matter has been a subject of litiga-
tion in the Surrogate's Court, until few days
since, when Miss Gabrielle publicly withdrew
from the disgraceful contest, prefering to yield
her just rights than to have her fathers men,
tai disorder and herself constant theme be-
fore the public. The generous action of this
estimable young lady should crimson with
shame those who so persistently attempted to
set aside what was, undoubtedly, the latest
duly authenticated will and testament of her
father. Speaking of the abandonment of the
strife over Mr.. Greeley's estate the New York
Tribune says:
eve wish to state, before taking leave ofa
most unpleasant subject, that whereas the at
torney, indorsed by the executors, intimates
that the estate of Mr. Greeley is worth over
$500, 900, our own information is that, with
the exception of six shares of Tribune stock,
there is scarcely dollar of available money
or an acre of productive land belonging to
the estate. Ifthe executors can make it worth
100000, in cash or productive property, they
will deserve the gratitude of the orphans and
the approval of all good men,

be, a tendency on the part Of boys and girl tc
