Mr.. d. ID. Shelton, the newly-ap-
pointed stamp clerk, entered upon his
duties this morning, and the Office is
being run with great smoothness, con-

at the business. Mr.. Shelton is q young
man of splendid business qualifications
and his appointment is giving satisfac-
ton. One notable feature about the
administration Of Colonel Boyd is that
he is calling into the service young and
| active Democrats. The appointments
he has made so far, with one or two ex-
ceptions, are men of this character.
The prosperity and growth Of Win

Glenn, of Danbury, has become citi-
zen of Winston, and is erecting hand
some dwelling on Fourth street.

well sustained. The auctioneer at
Piedmont warehouse, Captain Ii. D..
Creete IA former Virginian), recently
sold, in $3.50 time, 525 piles of tobacco,
averaging $50 piles to the hour. The
Winstonians would like to know if any
other market or warehouse can beat
| this time.
