Successful r~evivals have been in
progress the past week in the Broad
Street Baptist Church, the NJ. E. Centen-
arv Church, and in the Elm Street
Chapel in Salem.
The Salem flats, on Main street, are
approaching completion, and will pre-
sent a very pretty appearance. A few
more structures like it would add very
much to the looks of the street.
We learn that Mr.. Geo. Smith and
Mr.. McHam, of Little Yadkin, Stokes
county, each lost a barn of fine tobacco
last Saturday by fire. Our informant
speaks very encouragingly of the quality
of the Stokes tobacco this season.
Louis Dagger & Co., solicitors of
patents, Washington, D. c., write us that
there were ~ patents issued to citizens
of Southern States bearing date of Sep
TENDER 18th, among them one to B. E.
Sergeant, of Greensboro, for feed-work
for saw mill.
The attention of u readers is
called to the Star and other Fertilizers,
Grass Seed, Fall and Winter Goods, adj
vertised by Messrs. Hinshaw & Bynum in
another column.
We learn that an excursion will be
run, about the 1st of October from
Greensboro to Washington City in the
interest of the new Baptist church at
erection. 1t will be a cheap and enjoy
able trip.
Winston and Salem seem to be
attractive points for excursion parties.
An excursion train from Durham brought
up about 500 of the good people of that
section last Saturday, who spent the day
pleasantly in social intercourse and in
viewing the objects of interest in both
towns. .'
CEDAR GROVE CLUB will meet Friday
evening. Subject for discussion: "Should
Farmers Organizer" This Club is doing
good work, and we are told they intend
to increase their membership by the
meeting of the county club, on the
fourth Saturday in October, so they may
have a large representation in that body.
FATAL ADMINISTRATIONS n. Snider,
fifteen years of age, brother Of Mr.. P.
A. Snider of the Isoin- City Daily, acct
dentally shot himself last Saturday,
inficting a mortal wound. 1t seems he
was standing on a plank which crosses a
ditch in his fathers brick yard, handling
a breech-loading rifle which he had but
recently purchased, when the gun slip
ped, and striking the plank was
discharged, the ball entering the young
mans abdomen and ranging upward,
inficting a fatal wound, from which he
died Sunday. The remains were inferred
Monday in Salem cemetery.
iGAILhOAD 0OIh VI GhO
survey of the contemplated extension
of the North Western N. G.. Railroad
from Winston to Wilkesboro began
last Thursday and will be pushed
to completion. This is a very important
enterprise, not only for Winston but for
this whole section of country, and what
is more there is said to be something in
it. While we are on this subject we
may as we'll remark that there is a good
deal of railroad talk these days, which
if carried out cannot fail to put Winston
in a fair way of becoming one of the
railroad centres of the South. 1t is pre-
mature perhaps to refer to the suggested
scheme in detail, but it involves no
only the extension of the road from this
point to Wilkesboro but connection by
rail with several of the leading points
surrounding us, making in the aggregate
a vast area of country tributary to Win
ston and Salem. Certain conditions are
required but those of our citizens who
give thought to these matters think
the requirements can be met. r.
